Ratatouille Review Ratatouille is an extremely unique movie, with the story coming out of two writer’s minds instead of being based on a fairytale. Of course, Pixar is known for their creative minds, but this movie is a complete deviation from the norm.

Swearing as global language! Are ‘bad’ words necessarily bad? Recently I saw a great movie called ‘The King’s Speech’, which led me to this question. First of all, I recommend everybody reading this blogpost and everybody not reading this blogpost to watch this movie because it is funny and interestingly themed.
