How to train tour dragon

On Berk, a Viking village located on a remote island from which dragons periodically steal livestock, Hiccup, the awkward fifteen-year-old son of the village chieftain, Stoick the Vast, works as a blacksmith's apprentice. As he is too small and weak to fight the dragons, he instead fashions mechanical devices under his apprenticeship with Gobber, the senior blacksmith, though his inventions often malfunction or backfire. During one attack, Hiccup shoots down a Night Fury, an extremely rare and dangerous dragon, with a bola launcher of his, but when no one believes him he goes off to look for it on his own. He later finds it in the forest trapped in his bolas, but finding that he cannot bring himself to kill the dragon, he instead sets it free.


Stoick assembles a fleet to find the dragons' nest, entering Hiccup in a dragon-killing class taught by Gobber. Hiccup returns to the forest to find the Night Fury still there; he realizes the dragon is unable to fly properly because of its crippled tail fin. Hiccup befriends the dragon, gradually taming it and giving it the name 'Toothless' due to its retractable teeth. Feeling guilty for crippling Toothless, Hiccup eventually makes a harness and prosthetic fin that allows him to guide the dragon in flight.


By observing Toothless's behavior, Hiccup becomes increasingly proficient in subduing the captive dragons during training nonviolently, earning him the admiration of his peers but causing Astrid, a tough Viking girl on whom Hiccup has a crush, to become increasingly suspicious of his behavior. Meanwhile, Stoick's fleet arrives home unsuccessful, though he is cheered by Hiccup's unexpected success in dragon training. Astrid eventually discovers that he is training Toothless. Hiccup takes her for a flight to demonstrate his relationship with the dragon before she can tell the village. Toothless unexpectedly takes the pair to the dragons' nest where they discover a gargantuan dragon named the Red Death, which eats the smaller dragons unless they bring it stolen livestock; the pair realize that the dragons have been attacking Berk under its control as opposed to their own free will.


Back at the village, Hiccup, having won dragon training, is given the task of killing a captive Monstrous Nightmare dragon; he, instead, subdues it in front of his father and village instead of killing it in an attempt to prove that the dragons are harmless. However, Stoick inadvertently angers the dragon into attacking. Toothless attempts to protect Hiccup in the ensuing panic but is instead captured by the Vikings in the process. Hiccup accidentally reveals to Stoick that Toothless is capable of locating the dragons' nest; Stoick disowns his son and sets off for the nest with Toothless chained to the lead ship as a guide.


The Viking attack force locates and breaks open the dragon's nest, allowing most of the dragons to fly out but also awakening the Red Death, soon overwhelming the attack force. Hiccup, Astrid, and their fellow pupils fly in riding the training dragons from Berk, providing cover fire for the attack force and distracting the Red Death. Hiccup almost drowns trying to break Toothless free, but Stoick saves them both, reconciling with his son. Working together, Toothless and Hiccup destroy the Red Death; Hiccup, however, is injured in the fight, losing his lower left leg and requiring a prosthesis. Hiccup regains consciousness on Berk to find himself admired amongst the tribe and by Astrid, with the Vikings and the dragons now living in harmony.

The dukes of hazard

It’s a 2005 American buddy comedy road film based on the television series, The Dukes of Hazzard. The film was directed by Jay Chandrasekhar and released on August 5, 2005, by Warner Bros Pictures.

Cousins Bo, Luke, and Daisy Duke run a moonshine business for their Uncle Jesse in Hazzard County, Georgia. The cousins' primary mode of transportation is an orange 1969 Dodge Charger called "General Lee". After Rosco has the General Lee impounded after Bo and Luke’s attempt to run away from a daughter of one their many moonshine customers, Billy Prickett, a famous stock-car driver, enters Hazzard to participate in the rally. Pauline informs the Dukes that Rosco seized another farm on charges, so Bo and Luke investigate a local construction site and find geologic core samples with the help of bait-shop owner Sheev. Meanwhile, Coltrane makes arrangements to seize the General Lee as "evidence" from the local auto body shop run by the Dukes' friend Cooter Davenport, who instead turns the car into a hot rod and applies a new paint job and horn.

 The two race to the farmhouse to cause a distraction to the waiting Hazzard County sheriff's deputies and Georgia state troopers, while Daisy and Cooter rescue Jesse and Pauline. Meanwhile, the college girls head to the rally with Sheev to inform the townsfolk about the vote on the strip-mining ordinance. Because of Sheev's armadillo hat and lack of pants, no one listens, so Bo leaves for the rally while Luke and Jesse team up to foil the county and state police who are chasing Bo, interfering with the race. At the courthouse, Daisy takes advantage of the governor of Georgia's presence and TV cameras to convince him to pardoning the boys, so Uncle Jesse takes the opportunity to knock out Boss Hogg and gets a pardon for assaulting a county commissioner at the same time.

In my opinion, this is a hilarious movie with diverse racing-action scenes. In the whole movie the two cousins are inspired by the need of getting a girlfriend, which is something we can see nowadays in teenagers going out and taking pictures to show off.

Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie

             

Hi welcome to another post, this time we are going to talk about the movie "Captain Underpants" In CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: THE FIRST EPIC MOVIE, Captain Underpants is the creation of best friends George and Harold. They've been inseparable since kindergarten, when they bonded over their shared amusement at the word "Uranus" during a science lesson. These days, in fourth grade, they giggle over the potty-centric comic books they create and the pranks they pull at school under the nose of their by-the-book principal, Mr. Krupp. When Krupp finally ends up with proof of their hijinks and vows to end the boys' friendship, George does the only thing he can think of: He flashes his plastic hypno-ring at Krupp. Somehow, it works, and the boys tell Krupp he's now Captain Underpants, so he promptly disrobes, makes himself a cape, and dashes off to fight crime. Since the Captain doesn't have the super powers to match his superhero mindset, he causes more problems than he fixes, but the boys can't risk turning him back into Krupp, especially when a villain by the name of Professor Poopypants arrives on the scene. How can they save their school and their friendship?

Captain Phillips

This movie is all about a very awesome, unbelievable and real story of a man who was hijacking by Somali pirates in 2009. Yes, ¡Real pirates!.

Captain Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks) was captaining the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama when suddenly a Somali pirate group get to the boat and threaten the crew with weapons; as you may imagine, they wanted money. This was the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years. The Somali pirate captain, Muse, takes Richard hostage. The ship was 145 miles off the Somali coast, they did not have anything to protect them so the ship was under the pirates control.

Captain Phillips offers them $30,000 but they wanted more, so the pirates look for all the crew members and take the whole crew hostage and hold them for ransom. Later the pirates let all the crew escape but they kept Phillips. Then U.S. Navy will try to stop them even if it means losing Phillips.

It sounds like a science fiction movie but this awesome story did happen to Richard and now he lives to tell his story.

This is the third one movie of a series of movies about cheerleaders, but in my case is my favorite. Is a 2000 movie, its an american comedy film directed by Peyton Reed and written by Jessica Bendiger.

 This movie is based on the life of Britney Allen who is the leader of a group of cheerleaders and her boyfriend is the captain of the group of soccer. Her life was perfect at that time but, suddenly sometimes changed her life dramatically. Her father lost his job, so she has to move to Crenshaw Heigts a highschool in which she is the white girl.   

First, she meets Camille who is the leader of this high school and she and her friends were really rude with Britney, and she cries because she missed their friends and everything that she had before. Everything in this school was new for her, and Jessie who was a part of the cheerleaders help her and he invites her to prove what she can do. Britney impressed everyone that were there, and everyone wants that she helps the group to improve. 

During those times, was a compete for cheerleaders, and Crenshaw and the previous school of Britney compete but they did not know that Britney were there. Once, Britney lies to her new friends and they take out of the squad because she was telling lies to them. Also, Britney and Jessie likes each other and they felt in love, and those times Britney finished the relationship with her boyfriend because he was in a relationship with the bestfriend of Britney. So, she gives her another opportunity and Crenshaw wins the competition because the other group was racist.

Lucy

Today we won´t talk about a real life story. I wanted to be out of the ordinary and tell you about a science fiction movie called "Lucy".

As you imagine, Lucy is the main character around who turns the whole plot of this movie. She is a American woman living in Taiwan, where she was unfortunately used as a drug mule by her boyfriend, and this is where everything else begins. 

Lucy is captured and one of her captors kicks her in her abdomen, where she had four packets of CPH4, a highly valuable synthetic drug, sewed into her abdomen, so  the bag broke releasing a large quantity of the drug into her system. It is so interesting to see all physical and mental capabilities she starts to acquire due to the drug: telepathy, telekinesis, mental time travel, and the ability not to feel pain or other discomforts. Her personality also changes. After killing many people, she gets in contact with well-known scientist and Professor Samuel Norman hoping he can save her. Did she survive? Does she stays in this condition forever? If you want to know what happen to Lucy, go and watch the movie.
