Movie reviews


One of the last movies I saw is The Spirit, it is supposed to be a Sin City kind movie, full of action, great effects and an interesting story. I like the comic book, but I think this movie sucks, the plot is ridiculous, the acting is awful and the FX's look absolutely fake and repeated. The characters are a real cartoon, you can't understand what's going on, even the lines are foolish.

In my opinion it's a movie that doesn't worth seeing.

One of my favorite movies...

I like movies a lot, I think they are great, they can give you a good time but at they same time they are food for thought. "What dreams may come" is one of my favorite movies, it makes you think about life, love, death and of course eternal life. You can wonder what we are doing here in this life, what really worths, the value of love and family. A great movie.

Musicians

Musicians are very important artists, they express feelings and emotions through sounds and lyrics in some cases. I like many music styles and don't have any preference among them. I love rock, heavy metal, jazz, blues, folk, soundtracks, swing, and a long etcetera. One of the styles that is very meaningful to me is classical, because it is complex, wonderful, amazing and stunning. My favorite musician is Mahler, he was a German composer.Here you can listen to one of my favorite pieces.

Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes is the most famous fictional detective, he is extremely intelligent, adventurous, daring and of course he discovers every mystery he wants to solve. Sherlock Holmes the movie is full of adventure, thrilling moments and even intrigue.

Valkyrie


World War II is a bitter moment in human history, millions of death, destruction and the worst of human being appeared to surface. Valkyrie portraits a plot against Hitler, an incredible attemp to stop a war that led countries to hate and total destruction.

Daily activities


Routines are an important part of our lives, they give some structure to every day activities, but they can be boring too. The days we expect more anxiously are Saturdays and Sunday, weekend, out of school or work and a time to rest at home.

What is your weekend like? What do you do?

Experiences


Have you ever done something special? Something that not all the people have tried? Have you ever eaten any exotic dish?

Well one of my dearest experiences is playing in the Teatro Municipal de Santiago when I was part of an orchestra. It was a very long time ago but it has been very meaning for my all these years.

Well, What about you? Have you ever done or tried something special?

Hangover


Everyone likes partying; lots of friends, nice music, nice food and drinks, good jokes and lots of laughs. It's nice pertying with friends, but it's really terrible when you can't take control and drink more than you are supposed to. There are many home remedies to ease a hangover, Do you know a good one?

Clash of the Titans


An excellent adventure movie with an epic mythological story. I like the movie because I think the story is great and many characters from Greek mythology are shown, Perseus, Zeus, Medusa and Caronte are just a few of them.

My neighborhood


Living in a nice house is great, you can have comfort and relax there, but the surroundings are even more important. Lots of facilities, security and green areas can turn the place you live in a wonderful neighborhood.
I live in a very nice place, it is very quiet, with good facilities and transportation, the only thing I don't like is the fact that it is too far from La Serena.
What is your neighborhood like?

Family




Family is one of the most important things in life, it gives us support, love, understanding and of course values for life. My family is very small, I have three daughters, Josefina and the twins Isidora and Ignacia, and my wife Natalia (she's a teacher). On one hand I have my parents, Rosa and José and my cousin Felipe, and on the other my parents-in-law, Ramón and Ana, my sister-in-law Marisol ( a nursery school teacher) and my niece Agustina. It is a very small family, but very close and nice.

Advices for visitors




Big cities are great to spend your vacations, lots of places to visit, lots of activities and of course lots of people...... there are many things foreigners should and should not do when visiting Chile.

Jobs


Many people like or dream with different jobs. Everything depends on your skills, interests, plans for the future and even money!!, When I was at 4th grade High school I wanted to be a musician and I even studied to become a professional one. At the same time I studied to be an English teacher, (I didn't like it at that time). Now I love being a teacher, it's a great job, very hard but really challenging and demanding.
What's your favorite job and why?

The most beautiful city


Chile has a lot of beautiful and wonderful cities. I like many Chilean cities, La Serena, Valdivia, Temuco and many more, but my favorite one is Frutillar. It is a small town on the lake shore, but you can enjoy peace, hospitality, and of course stunning landscapes. What I like the most about Frutillar is the huge variety of delicious German kuchen you can taste.
