-Description of Episode:
Welcome to a pre holiday version NPR Movie Podcast the best NPR love for the movies, this week Bob Mandelow reviews 3 films in one review Beniciel Del Toro, on his latest revolution role, John Legisamo talks about his new holiday film, but first some of us find the holiday a bit emotionally challenging.

-Why I Picked This Podcast:
The podcast that I have chosen to listen to is called NPR Movies. It basically covers films and gives you a review about them for instants what are their strong points and. It gives you the opportunity to listen to the actor’s opinion about their character and how they played the role.
In the beginning of the podcast it talks about a girl called Amanda who’s parents got a divorce when she was in high school, ever since then Amanda has been suffering from Holiday Depression.
Because of the divorce Amanda says she had lost her Christmas Spirit, and Christmas started to become a dark painful holiday.
A few years ago Amanda decided that a few weeks before Christmas she would watch as many Christmas movies as possible at least 3 or 4 a night.
What I found really interesting about this is that Amanda knew by her self that watching these films over and over again would not help her solve her problem, however it helped her to get her Christmas spirit up again I mean she even started to believe that Santa still excites (which of course is true). But to me its really amazing how with some people after they watch a movie it makes them start believing.
The second part of the podcast talks about 3 movies. “The Reader” is about a 15 year old German school boy who has a 36 year old girlfriend. “Grand Tarino” is about a war veteran played by Clint Eastwood who hates immigrants however he gets in a middle of a fight and helps the immigrants and start stacking flowers on his front porch. “Doubt” is about a German priest from the Catholic Church played by Philip S Hoffmann who is caught by a nun played by Marel Streep molesting a alter boy. Now what puzzles me about this part of the podcast is that at the begging of all these movies the main characters are doing wrong things such as hate, and molestation but at the end of all 3 everything turns out well.
The third part is about the actor Beniciel Del Toro and his role as Che Guevara in the movie “Che”. Del Toro always wanted to play as Che Guevara, the first time he ever heard about him was in a Rolling Stones song called “Little Indian Girl”. Nearly the entire movie is in Spanish. What interesting about Del Toro is how interested he became about Che Guevara. The movie is 4:30 hours long. Del Toro says the way he became Che Guevara is he had to read about him how his personality was and what his reactions to certain feelings were. Something that I never news before that Che Guevara was from Argentina. Also another interesting fact is that there is even a beer names after Che Guevara.
The forth and final part is about John Lickwizamo new film about a Porto Rican man born in Chicago move to New York to be successful and ends up becoming as lawyer. Then he marries a successful investment banker who is a white Jewish girl. Then after years away from home he goes back to Chicago with his wife and introduces her to his family. Then the family has a hard time excepting her.
In this movie there’s a lot of jealousy and different emotions between the family which I am sure a lot of people can understand.
This podcast is very good it gives you all the information and back round about the movie and the actors playing in it. Plus it is not one of those podcast that is so boring that you fall asleep, NPR really keeps you awake and interested.

MOVIE REVIEW

“Fiddler on the Roof” is one of those movies that you must see. The first time I ever saw it which was about 8 years ago I thought of it as silly movie which made no sense, but it is funny to say as I got older I started reminding myself about it ,and had the urge to watch it again, since then I think I have watched it over 60 times.
It is a story that is filled with emotions of hope, love, and acceptance.The film takes place around 1910 about a poor Jewish milkman called Tevye (played by TOPOL) who is living in a small village called Anatevka in Ukraine with his wife Golde (played by Norma Crane) and their five daughters.
In the begging you understand that the movie is a musical because Tevye bursts out into song, but a minute after, you start to understand the movie is based on tradition, and live life from “The Good Book” as Tevye would say.
One of the major traditions for Tevye and Golde is to follow the Jewish custom of getting married, which is a matchmaker comes to the house, find a match for your daughter, shows the match to the parents, and gets the approval form the father. But there’s a problem Tzeitel (Rosalind Harris) who is Tevye oldest daughter wants to forget about the tradition of matchmaking and choose her own husband. Tevye wants her to marry the wealthy butcher Lazar Wolf (Paul Mann), but Tzeitel wants to marry Motel (Leonard Frey) who is the village tailor and Tzeitel childhood sweetheart. At the end of their long argument Tevye gives in ,and approves the marriage. Thinking this will be the last time he will bend the rules of matchmaking Tevye second oldest daughter Hodel (Michele Marsh) falls in love with a young revolutionary, Perchik (Paul Michael), and his third daughter Chava (Neva Small), falls in love with a non-Jew by the name of Fyedka and runs away with him. By doing this Tevye is confused and doesn’t know what to do if he should except his daughter or not .
While Tevye is having problems at home with the family. Situation start occurring in the village, gangs starts vandalizing stores and disturbing the peace. Then word comes to the village on a group called the “Red Party” who is rising against Tsar.
Overall “Fiddler on the Roof” is not the perfect movie that was ever made of all time, but it’s a movie that has a lot of morals and family value.

AGREE or DISAGREE

To live life with fear us to live half a life
Agree: Because if you live life in fear you would never live it at all. Let me put it in a example, lets say there people outside your door and your frightened about it (that would be living life with fear) and you are so scared that you would never leave the room or just open the door (and thats just living half a life).

Ignorance is good
Agree: If you wouldn’t have ignorance you would not have experience in life and your life would never be bothered, you would ignore the problems that are being broad casted on news.

Better to take a chance and lose than never take a chance
Agree: Taking a chance is an important thing in life, because if you take chances the outcome of it could be quite good for you. Maybe if you would take a chance to live your dream it would come true, and even if you lost you should stand high and tell you self at least I gave it a shoot.

JUST A BIT OF FUN

MS. KATE VS PIPER

It was a humid morning on the 14 of June. When Ms. Kate Jarrold woke up that morning she knew that it was a special day, she could not control the happiness in here and she just had to do a victory dance. The reason why Ms. Kate was in high spirits was because instead of going to work she started packing for her summer trip, that’s right, the summer holiday had started. For her summer holiday Ms. Kate decided to go back to Scotland.
About 35 minutes later Ms. Kate called a taxi and was on her way to the airport.
When it was her turn to check in apparently there was a problem, it seemed the people at the counter gave someone else her seat, so the only solution was to move her up to business class.
5 and a half hours or 25 glasses of water later Ms. Kate arrived in Scotland. The moment she stepped out of the airport she put her bags down closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the cool air into her lungs.
After her sweet reunion with the Scottish air Ms. Kate called a cab and asked it to take her to Loch Ness 66 road (the road that she lived in). Now the funny thing is whenever Ms. Kate would ask taxi drivers to take her home some taxi drivers would refuse to ,and would ask here to take another car.
After the taxi driver heard the destination Ms. Kate wanted to go to he chuckled. She ask him in a polite way
“why the chuckle” he answered “oh nothing mam, its just where u live”
“yes what about it” she said
“most taxis would never go there”
“yes I have noticed why is that?”
‘rumor has it mam that on cool nights like these a creature appears’
“a creature? Sir you can not be serious?’
“oh yes mam I am, I am speaking of creature so ancient that it is as old as time its self. Loch Ness..”
“Right…you named the “creature” after the lake?”
“On the contrary mam the lake was named after the creature’
“Really know”
As Ms. Kate was looking out the window too the Lake Loch Ness the driver said erratically ‘15.50” she replied “what, is that the time the creature comes out?’, “no’ said the driver “that’s how much the fair costs” pointing at the meter while speaking. Realizing the silly mistake she had made she went red ,and handed the driver a 20 pound note and said “keep the change” “thank you mam, oh mam and another thing’ handing a card with a telephone number on it and saying “if you need anything please don’t hesitate to give me a call, you never know when you need a favor”.
After that strange ride from the airport Ms. Kate was whipped out and couldn’t wait to lie down on her bed, but as she opened the door she heard a noise of soft but recognizable sound. As she turned around to see what it was she saw in the distance a dark shadow on the edge of the lake. Becoming a little anguishes she quickly rushed inside and slamming the door and locking it.
The morning Ms. Kate woke up she felt so good and fresh, she really slept like a rock. As she changed and brushed her teeth she went downstairs to make herself a cup of tea. Once she finished she went into the sitting room to watch some TV. As she turned it on and was listening to the morning news she knew something was not right.
“Good morning Scotland, it is the 20 of August, the weather forecast seems to be good today”. Ms. Kate started laughing and wondering why they said the wrong date. When she changed the channel she noticed that the date was the same 20 of August. Confused and annoyed she didn’t understand why the date was wrong so she went to check her phone, then she became shocked when she checked her phone she noticed she had 390 missed calls.
Ms. Kate was seriously confused she didn’t understand how in the world she had been sleeping for over 2 months. The only thing she could think of was that weird taxi driver she took, he might have done something to her, so she gave the guy a call and ask if they could meet the driver said he would come to the Ms. Kate’s house at around 11 at night.
That night the guy came and went to the front door and knocked 3 times, and Ms. Kate said “its open”, as the guy entered the house he said “mam, where are you?” “I am in the kitchen” when the guy took 1 step into the kitchen BANG!! Ms. Kate smacked him on the head with a frying pan. As the man got up he was so confused and in pain.
“OWW!!! Why did u hit me!?”
“What did you do to me?!” said Ms. Kate
‘ME!!” said the driver “I didn’t do anything to you”
“Yes you did, you and your stupid nonsense about the Loch Ness Monster, your conversation in that cab boar me to death so much that it made me sleep for over 2 months!! ”
“No mam your wrong it wasn’t me who made you sleep’
“Then what or who was it?!”
“Hmm did u happen to see anything the night I dropped you at your house mam?”
“No, well yes I remember hearing bagpipes and seeing a man standing at the edge of the lake’
“I see, mam not to be personal did you happen to receive any bagpipes today?”
A second later there was a knock at the door.
“Are you expecting anyone?” said the driver.
“Yah, the Easter Bunny and Big Foot” said Ms. Kate in a sarcastic manner.
“Of course I am not expecting anyone man!”
As Ms. Kate went to answer the door something unexpected was waiting for her. She opened the door and laying right in front of her were bag pipes “You have got to be kidding” said Ms. Kate, “I hope you can play bag pipes mam” said the man
“What do you mean?’
“Well rumor has it..’
“Enough with the bloody rumors sir get to the point”
“Ok, ok just calm down mam’
‘Go on”
“Alright I don’t want to alarm you but the piper has chosen you to be the knew player”
“Player? Player for who?’
‘Loch Ness”
“But I don’t want to be the player said Ms. Kate I am already a music teacher in AISC!”
‘Mam you should be honored that the piper chose you to be the knew player”
“Seriously now sir, I am not in the mood right now, I am so close to shoving these pipes somewhere unpleasant for you”
After they finished their conversation Ms. Kate understood what she had to do. She went outside of her house to the edge of the lake blew the bag on the pipes up with air and started playing.
The sound that she produced was so foul and so bad that after only a few moments of playing the piper just emerged out of no where and said ‘STOP!!” when Ms. Kate stopped the piper grabbed the pipes from her and said “sorry lass nothing personal the pipes aren’t for you”. Once the piper said that she ran into her house packed her suitcase rushed out again told the taxi driver to take her to the airport. When she arrived she checked in rushed on the plane five and a half hours or 4 bottles of wine later Ms. Kate arrived in Cyprus.
It was the morning of the 2 of September, yet again when Ms. Kate Jarrold woke up she had the biggest smile on her face and couldn’t help her self and just had to do a victory dance. This time Ms. Kate was full of joy because it was the first day of school. 25 minutes later she was in school waiting for her first class.
It was 8:15 and all the students were there.
“Good morning class welcome back” said Ms. Kate
“Morning Ms” said the class. Then one of the students raised their hand and Ms. Kate called on him
“What did you do over the summer Ms. Kate?” said the student
“Nothing really, mainly was sleeping’
