Mamma Mia

September 3, 2008 at 4:53 am (Songs, video)

If you are a grown-up you will surely know ABBA. For those who are not, I can tell you that ABBA is a famous Sweden group that won the Eurovision contest in 1974. This group became really famous worldwide.

Some years ago, a new Musical appeared (Mamma Mia) in lots of different theatres around the word with lots of ABBA songs and in 2008 we can see the film in the cinemas. From my point of view and after seen the film twice in the cinema, it is a very funny movie with great actors, some of whom don’t sing so well, but they try. An example of these songs is the following video, Dancing Queen, where you can see some of the actors of the film and at the same time, some scenes of the real video from ABBA.

Learning the Alphabet

January 22, 2008 at 5:33 am (Students, video)

Now that you start learning English in Secondary school, we must revise some of the things you learnt in primary school. In this post I would like to revise the alphabet. It is important to know how to pronounce each letter and an easy way to do it is with a song. Here you have an easy song you can sing and learn by yourself

But why do we have to learn the alphabet? For example if you want to spell something as your name. Take a look at the following video to hear and see some real people using the alphabet in real life

Johnny Deep’s last movie

January 17, 2008 at 5:38 pm (General, video)

I’m writing this post for those who love that fantastic, enigmatic, surprising, versatile, cute actor called Jonny Deep. If you liked his performance in Pirates of the Caribbean, Charlie and the Factory Chocolate, Sleepy Hollow or Edward Scissorhands, you’d love him in Sweeney Todd. As far as I know, it’s his first musical, but it is not as the usual ones like Cabaret or Mamma Mia, because it is quite dark. Maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised after knowing who the director of the film is; the great Tim Burton a very close friend of Mr. Deep.

As you can imagine I’m eagerly waiting for the film in our cinemas not only because of the main actor, who has even won a Golden Globe Award this week, but also to see this new musical.
