Ratatouille
A rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unlikely - and certainly unwanted - visitor in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant, Remy's passion for cooking soon sets into motion a hilarious and exciting rat race that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down. →"Ratatouille"http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808490293/details

In my opinion, this is the best animation that I've ever seen. It's funny and the view of Paris is very vivid. I want to go to Paris this winter vacation, for lacking money I don't know whether I can go or not. Now I've seen this movie, it let me feel I get more and more desirous to go to Paris. Oh, God, I wish I could go to Paris. I've heard the view there are just beautiful, so I want to see the view in person.

This movie is based on the wildly popular video game series and picks up where the last film left off. The experimental T-Virus, concocted by the Umbrella Corporation, has been unleashed on the world, transforming the population into a scourge of shambling zombies with a taste for flesh. With no safety in the cities, Carlos Olivera(Oded Fehr) and L.J.(Mike Epps), along with new survivors Claire(Ali Larter), K-Mart(Spencer Locke) and Nurse Betty(Ashanti), have gathered a group of survivors and taken to the road...traversing the empty desert highways in an armored convoy. What they seek is more of their kind - the living...the uninfected. What they find is the other constant presence in the desert: the Undead - and they'll need dozens of guns, thousands of bullets and a pair of flamethrowers to protect themselves.

I think this movie is extremely affecting. I'm touched beyond words; this movie makes me noticed that I should very cherish my family. Even though I sometimes have some quarrel with my parents, I think it can be another kinds of memory. Family is necessary, it's important to everyone. Parents are both great, they bring me up. I should cherish the time we're still together, and I should show filial obedience for my parents everytime and everywhere.
