News Project "Draft"

Hello, my name is Gonzalo Vidal and I going to present a movie review about "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes". Planet of the Apes is an american media franchise that consists in movies, series, novels and some books that tells about humans and apes that clashes for control.

 "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" has lots of expectations from the people. The reason is that the previous movie, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was a really good movie, the use of super intelligent apes was the main thing. This movie is new, it came out at the cinemas at no more than a month, so you can find it in the websites or in the own cinemas.

 This movie is about a virus that clashes human civilization. 10 years later, Caesar-leader of the Apes- stay in some place in the forest of California, while the human survivors stays on a building in  San Francisco. The Apes are pacifically, they don't want to fight, but later in the movie it happens something surprising that ends in a war between Apes and humans. In the movie we can find famous actors like Andy Serkis as Caesar, king of the Apes; Gary Oldman as Dreyfus, leader of the remaining people; Keri Rusell as a Nurse and Malcom's wife, and some other actors and actresses.

The movie is the last one that came out at now of the franchise. This franchise started at 1968 with they first movie, "Planet of the Apes" that had some goods critics. Talking about critics,  Tim Tobey from the "Daily Telegraph" told that there's evidence patience and intelligence dedicated to the filmmaking, whereas Richard Roeper mentioned that this could be the most intelligent, dare and braved Apes ever put on a film.

Tim Tobey of "The Daily Telegraph": "There’s evident patience and intelligence to the filmmaking all over, as well as an engagement with genuine ideas about diplomacy, deterrence, law and leadership. However often it risks monkey-mad silliness, it’s impressively un-stupid.” 

Richard Roeper on "The Chicago Sun-Times": This just might be the most braves, smartest and daring Apes ever put on a film".

Matt Reves, director of the movie: "There are a number of films and stories” to be told between the events of "Dawn" and the far-future world of the first "Planet of the Apes" film.

Gladiator Screenplay Thingy

After Maximus Decimus Meridas has left the arena, Commodus goes on the colosseum and make a kind of sign at 2 Advisers saying they have to enter with Commodus.
Inside, Commodus starts walking around.

(The camera shows Commodus thinking what to say)

COMMODUS: That bastard of Maximus humilliated me in front of everybody, and I was forced to let him live, and I didn't like it at all! I'm the emperor, and I would make Maximus to respect civilized people, not slaves starved.

(The camera focus on the 2 Advisers seeing each other)


ADVISER 1: I'm agree with you sir, now the thing is HOW we do it. Does someone have an idea?

ADVISER 2: I propose by planning a trap. ( With a evil smile) First we order our soldiers to call Maximus and order him in your name to come and see you in the main living. Then, when he arrive, there will be you standing with a mortal sword and slice his legs and start torturing him.

(The camera focus on Commodus)

COMMODUS: Great idea soldier. I love the idea of "torture" so he suffer the same as me. He will be so sorry! HAHAHA!

(The camera shows all 3 laughing loudly. Then the camera focus on Commodus)

COMMODUS: WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?! Only I can laugh. You 2, GET OUT!

(In the scene you can hear the voices of the Advisers)

ADVISERS: Well sir, mean while we will locate Maximus Decimus Meridas. HAPPY?!

(The Advisers get out of the room, Commodus stays alone)

Bloody Sunday Summary

Bloody Sunday prosecution charges 'unlikely'

The British government apologised for the army's actions after the publication of the report which took 12 years to complete. The report concluded that none of the victims were armed, that soldiers gave no warnings before opening fire and that the shootings were a "catastrophe" for Northern Ireland. 

None of the witnesses were granted blanket immunity from prosecution. However all witnesses were immune from prosecutions on the grounds of self incrimination. This meant that the evidence given by a witness could not be used against them in any future legal proceedings.  Northern Ireland's Public Prosecution Service said it was considering whether to prosecute anyone, adding this decision would be taken "as expeditiously as possible" although it gave no date.

"The Director of Public Prosecutions, together with the Chief Constable, will consider the report to determine the nature and extent of any police enquiries and investigations required to enable informed decisions to be taken¨. Some legal experts, however, said wriggle room remains for prosecutions and, more likely, civil lawsuits against retired soldiers, particularly as some of the them were found to have lied to the Saville Inquiry.

When Mr Pollard, the lawyer representing British soldiers, was asked whether the report paved the way for the soldiers involved in Bloody Sunday to face criminal charges, he said: "No, it doesn't." "He cherry picked the evidence," the lawyer said, referring to Lord Saville.Meanwhile the head of the British army, General David Richards, backed the apology by the British Prime Minister David Cameron."The report leaves me in no doubt that serious mistakes and failings by officers and soldiers on that terrible day led to the deaths of 13 civilians who did nothing that could have justified their shooting".

The inquiry was originally budgeted to cost £11m and report findings were expected by 2002.The final bill was estimated at nearly 200 million pounds - making it the longest and most expensive inquiry in British legal history.
