About a problem in my town

I'm writing because there aren't enough shops in our town. There aren't cinemas or bowling alleys where teenagers can entertain either.

I think there is one reason for this. There are other cities near here where we can go shopping and have fun, but it's not very comfortable to take the bus every time.

We must do something about this situation. Maybe the council doesn't have much money. I don't know, but we must definitely do something to help bored teenagers.

About TV highlights

The highlight of this week's TV was definitely the film "The book thief". It's a movie based on the best seller by Markus Zusak.

The book thief

Boing's cartoon The awesome world of Gumball was also worth watching. In Wednesday's episode every member of the Waterson family wanted the TV's remote control. Funny stuff!

Finally, something which also caught my eye was a documentary about butterflies. It was very interesting and the images were beautiful and colorful.

Angelina Jolie

Angelina and her husband, Brad

This year, Angelina Jolie plays the villain in the film Maleficent. But the Hollywood actress has spent much of her life doing good...

A difficult start
Angelina always wanted to be an actress. She got her first film role at age seven, but she was teased by the other kids at school in Beverly Hills, LA. She became a rebellious teenager, wearing black clothes, getting tattoos and listening to punk music. Often, film directors didn't choose her because her image was "too dark".

The Lara Croft heroine
Angelina's first big success came in 2001 with the film Lara Croft Tomb Raider. It's an adaptation of the Tomb Raider video game. Angelina had to speak with an English accent and do intensive martial arts training. She became an international action star, but the film changed Angelina's life in another way too...

Helping the world's children
While filming Lara Croft in Cambodia, Angelina met children who were landmine victims. She was shocked and so she started visiting refugee camp worldwide and became a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador. In 2002, she adopted a baby boy from Cambodia who she named Maddox. Since then, she has helped construct schools and health centres in Cambodia.

Angelina and Brad
Angelina adopted two more children Zahara Marley from Ethiopia, and Pax Thien from Vietnam. But this time the children had a dad too - The actor Brad Pitt. Brad and Angelina met when they where filming Mr & Mrs Smith.

Glamour and generosity
One of Hollywood's most glamorous actresses, Angelina has also been named the most beautiful woman in the world. But she is still committed to humanitarian causes. When Angelina and Brad Pitt had their biological children, they sold the first photos to celebrity news magazines for millions of dollars and then donated the money to charity.

"I think we all want justice and equality, a chance for a life with meaning."

Magnificent Malificent
Malificent is the fairy story of Sleeping Beauty, but told from the point of view of the bad fairy, Maleficent. She is betrayed by the king and takes revenge. Angelina is magnificent in the role. This time, her "dark" image made her the perfect choice. And, even if it's normal in a Disney film, Angelina  is very good at fighting injustice.

"I'm still at heart - and always will be - just a punk kid with tattoos," Angelina says.
