American Pie is a 1999 teen comedy film written by Adam Herz. American Pie was the directorial film debut of brothers Paul and Chris Weitz, and the first film in the American Pie film series. The film was a box-office hit and spawned two direct sequels: American Pie 2 (2001) and American Wedding (2003).
The film concentrates on four boys who make a pact to lose their virginity before their high school graduation.
Since the conclusion of the American Pie trilogy, featuring the courtship and marriage of the characters Jim Levenstein and Michelle Flaherty, the American Pie name has gone on to be used as an entity similar to the National Lampoon film series. American Pie has spawned four direct-to-DVD spin-off films bearing the title American Pie Presents: Band Camp (2005), The Naked Mile (2006), Beta House (2007) and The Book of Love (December 2009).
Another theatrical release, the fourth in the series and tentatively entitled American Reunion, was recently announced as being in pre-production for a 2012 release.

Halloween history

HALLOWEEN HISTORY


Halloween (also spelled Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints.

Originally Halloween was a pagan festival, around the idea of linking the living with the dead, when contact became possible between the spirits and the physical world, and magical things were more likely to happen. Like most pagan festivals, long ago it was absorbed into the festivals of the expanding Christian church, and became associated with All Hallows Day, or All Saints Day, which eventually fell on November 1.
The celebration of Halloween survived most strongly in Ireland. It was an end of summer festival, and was often celebrated in each community with a bonfire to ward off the evil spirits. Children would go from door to door in disguise as creatures from the underworld to collect treats, mainly fruit, nuts and the like for the festivities. These were used for playing traditional games like eating an apple on a string or bobbing for apples and other gifts in a basin of water, without using your hands. Salt might be sprinkled on the visiting children to ward off evil spirits. Carving turnips as ghoulish faces to hold candles became a popular part of the festival, which has been adapted to carving pumpkins in America.

The day is often associated with the colours black and orange, and is strongly associated with symbols like the jack-o'-lantern. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HALLOWEEN?

When and where is it celebrated?
It's celebrated in 31th of October in the U.S.A. and in the U.K.

Is it a religious celebration?
No, it isn't.

What does the word 'Halloween' mean?

The name Halloween is a contraction of All Hallows Even, meaning the day before All Hallows Day, a Catholic holiday commemorating Christian saints.

Name 2 typical games:
-Trick-or-treating
Trick-or-treating is a customary celebration for children on Halloween. Children go in costume from house to house, asking for treats such as candy or sometimes money, with the question, "Trick or treat?" The word "trick" refers to a (mostly idle) "threat" to perform mischief on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given. In some parts of Scotland children still go guising. In this custom the child performs some sort of trick, i.e. sings a song or tells a ghost story, to earn their treats.
-Apple bobbing:
Apple bobbing which apples float in a tub or a large basin of water and the participants must use their teeth to remove an apple from the basin. A variant of dunking involves kneeling on a chair, holding a fork between the teeth and trying to drop the fork into an apple.

When did it become a dangerous celebration?Why?
The celebration of Halloween survived most strongly in Ireland. It was an end of summer festival, and was often celebrated in each community with a bonfire to ward off the evil spirits.

How do people celebrate it today?

The children wear costumes and go out asking for treats such as candy or sweets, using the question, "trick or treat?" .

How to: Write about TV highlights


The highlight of this week's TV was definitely the comedy and cartoon show Jokebox in the 3xl channel. That is a program about the everyday life, but this program describes it as a funny parody. An I like it so much because the characters are made by clay, and they are very original and each one is different.

Channel 3's gags and comedy sereis "Plats Bruts": The name of this chapter was "I thirst for revenge". In this episode, the main character Joel Joan, made a joke to the chambrer Stasky. Stasky is so angry and he wants a revenge.

Finally, something wich also caught my eye was a story on yesterday's news. The death of Gadaffi in Libia. He was killed by ordinary people in the middle of the street.
This was amazing incredibly and terrorific history.
