Hello…

Let me show you a fantastically, gripping and humorous TV series. The series is called Chuck and he’s the main character of the series. Its plot is set in California where Zachary Levi is starring Chuck, a guy kicked from Stanford and currently working in the Buy More. One day he receives an e-mail from his old friend which contents highly confidential data. When he opens it Chuck loads a whole bunch of government secrets in his brain and needs by then protection and supervision by the CIA and NSA. The reason is that he is now a kind of computer that keeps secrets and flashes on things he sees. This might be a terrorist or something related to a secret of the government.

Variety describes it as:
Chuck possesses modest charm, impressive stunt work and another mildly appealing reluctant hero.

I love the series, it’s so entertaining and funny but see for yourself. Here’s the promo.

Vocabulary:
gripping = very interesting
confidential = secret
a whole bunch = a lot
supervision = to be observed, to be watched, to be looked after
reluctant = not voluntarily, not like to be but has to

So, here we go with tonight’s guest whose name is Sacha Baron Cohen. A well-educated Cambridge graduate of history and entertainer best known as Ali G. and Borat. He’s introducing his movie Brüno which is coming into cinemas.

Reviews of Brüno idicate that the movie is a has-to-be-seen one for people who can neglect the immorality and disgust of the film itself and see its message behind showing that a lot of people are just pretending to treat all others equal.

Hello, dear reader.

It must have seemed that I’ve been six feet under not posting for a while. I hope I’ll be able to publish posts regularly from now on but don’t expect too much because it’s holiday time.

Let’s see….what about the idiom I used at the beginning of the post six feet under.

It means that someone is dead and buried. To bury is a verb which describes the act of putting a lifeless human body in the ground and cover him with soil.This act is usually accompanied by a ceremony with close friends and members of the family. This ceremony is a funeral.

There’s a series running on HBO a private TV network in the U.S. called: Six feet under.

Vocabulary:
soil = the surface and material of the ground
