Easy Money

I have watched a movie named Easy Money.
It's a Swedish movie which takes place in the capital Stockholm.
It revolves around the young student Johan, also reffered as JW balancing
two lives. One as an rich brat in the Stockholms nightlife elite attending to the most prestigious universities of Sweden, and one as a criminal in order to fuel his destructive and moneydraining lifestyle.
In the movie you get to see alot of different environments of Stockholm, all from the superpoor and the superrich. The further you get into the movie the further JW gets drawn into the criminal world, and with it the pace and action accelerates. It is a very good movie that I like with excellent acting and trustworthy environments. I definetely recommend it.

The train had 218 passengers aboard and was heading near the end of a six-hour trip from Madrid to Ferrol, in northwestern of Spain. Residents who lived near the tracks said that, many of them rushed to the area with blankets and bottled water for the injured people. Firefighters, police and psychologists were at the scene to help the injured too.

Investigators are looking at all possible causes for the crash, a senior aide to Spain's prime minister said Wednesday; their initial assessment is that it likely wasn't the result of terrorism.

Spain's train infrastructure authority said it was being investigated.

Usain Bolt

Usain Bolt  is a Jamaican sprinter widely regarded as the fastest person ever.He is the first man to hold both the 100 metres and 200 metres world records since fully automatic time measurements became mandatory in 1997. Along with his teammates, he also set the world record in the 4×100 metres relay. He is the reigning Olympic champion in these three events, the first man to win six Olympic gold medals in sprinting, and an eight-time World champion. He was the first to achieve a "double double" by winning 100 m and 200 m titles at consecutive Olympics (2008 and 2012),and topped this through the first "double triple" (including 4×100 m relays).

Although gaining worldwide popularity for a sprint double victory at the Beijing Games, Bolt has had more victories as 200 m runner. While he had not won any significant 100 m title prior to the 2008 Olympics, he had won numerous crowns in the 200 m event at the youth, junior and senior levels. Further, at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, Bolt completed a hat-trick of 200 m world titles by winning his 3rd straight gold in the event. His 2009 record breaking margin for 100 m, from 9.69 seconds (his own previous world record) to 9.58, is the highest since the start of fully automatic time measurements.

 

Bolt's achievements in sprinting have earned him the media nickname "Lightning Bolt", and awards including the IAAF World Athlete of the Year, Track & Field Athlete of the Year, and Laureus Sportsman of the Year (three times). He is the highest paid athlete ever in track and field. He has been called the world's most marketable athlete. By winning 3 gold medals at the 2013 World Championships, Bolt became the most successful athlete in the 30-year history of the athletics world championships.

BMX RACE 

California born

Bicycle motocross (BMX) started in the late 1960s in California, around the time that motocross became a popular sport in the USA. The motorised version of the sport was the inspiration for the human-powered competition.

BMX spreads worldwide

BMX racing offered exciting action at a low cost and the infant sport became an instant hit, especially in California. This led to the foundation of a sanctioning body for BMX in the USA in the early 1970s. Over the following decade, the sport gradually gained in international popularity.

Official international sport

In April 1981, the International BMX Federation was founded. BMX rapidly developed a unique sporting identity and it became evident that the sport had more in common with cycling than motorcycling. This was officially recognised in 1993 when BMX was fully integrated into the International Cycling Union (UCI). The sport made its Olympic debut at the 2008 Beijing Games.

Olympic history

It was in 2008 in Beijing that BMX made its debut on the Olympic programme. The men’s event was won by Latvia’s Maris Strombergs. In the women’s event, it was France’s Anne-Caroline Chausson who took the first Olympic title in this discipline.

BMX is one of the fastest and youngest cycling disciplines. Its principle is simple: eight riders compete on a track filled with jumps, tight bends and obstacles. In Beijing, the Laoshan velodrome track was 370m long for the men and 350m long for the women.

World War Z

This film isn´t recommended for children under 16 years.

This film is directed by Marc Foster and starring Brad Pitt based on the novel by Mx Brooks, which was written in 2006.
The film was released om August 2, this year, although it should be released in December 2012, it happened this because it had problems in filming and the end didn´t make sense.

It all begins when an employee of the United Nations, Gerry Lane (Brad Pritt) traveld around world in a race against the clock. He will try to avoid what could be the end of civilization because of a zombie pandemic that is destroying the armies and Goverments.
Threatening to destroy all humanity itself, he will try to save the lives of million of strangers as well as his own family.

I think that it is a film very entertaining, with much action and special effects and it has very succesful.
