What a movie. This is the third chapter of a greate adventure trilogy.
Harrison Ford and Sean Connery are the both main characters in this funny
adventure. You can´t believe that fun and adventure are working together.
Look that movie and you believe.
Here is a good review … to learn some new vocabulary.

I choose the movie Elizabeth from rottentomatoes.com.
The dramatic movie was confusing sometimes because of all the intrigues and the secrets. But I like the development of Elizabeth (Cate Blanchett) from a romantic young woman to a hard-hearted queen.
At the end she overcome all mans without being married, what I found noteworthy for the 16th century. In this issue I remember the sentence “I’m married to England”.

Wikipedia has quite a good article to jump into this subject. Watersmeet was chosen for a series of commercials on ESPN because of the unusual nickname of its school — Nimrods. The tag line of the commercials was “Without sports, who would cheer for the Nimrods?” I found the homepage of this commercial series at ESPN but unfortunately not the Nimrod ad video itself. If you have, please comment.
