The main character Slevin has a really bad day. His girlfriend
has left him, on the way to his friend Nick he got robbed and
when he finally arrives, Nick isn’t there and seems to have
disappeared.
But then things get even worse, when two guys arrive and take
him to “The Boss”. His friend Nick Fisher has big debts1 there
and The Boss wants him to repay them. But The Boss has
mistaken Slevin for Nick, and Slevin can’t prove that he isn’t
his friend. As an alternative to payment, he offers Slevin the
option of murdering the son of his rival, “The Rabbi”.
When Slevin finally arrives back at the house of his friend, it
only takes a few minutes until the next guys arrive, but this
time they take him to The Rabbi. Apparently his friend Nick Directed by: Paul McGuigan

The things which make the movie so great are the little twists
in the story, which make the movie unpredictable and
exciting.
The film starts without any introduction, and you’re directly thrown into the story. At the
beginning there are many unanswered questions, but throughout the film you (think to)
slowly understand the plot3...wouldn’t there be the big twist in the end. The ending is really
amazing. It is unexpected, but it fits perfectly and is the big surprise of the film.
The dialogs are entertaining and extraordinarily well acted. But this is to be expected, because
of the great cast. There are many world class actors playing, such as Morgan Freeman.
Especially Josh Hartnett, the main character, fits perfectly into his role and gives the movie a
special touch.
We think it’s a great movie for anyone who likes action films or who likes movies with an
unpredictable ending. In some way the movie is funny, but it is still thrilling and gripping.

This Friday, the 25th and Saturday, the 26th of June, the theatre group of the KGN
performed “Der Besuch der alten Dame”, a play of Friedrich Duerrenmatt’s.
The famous play is about Claire Zachanassian (Kathrin Sichler) who visits her small
hometown of Guellen and forces the audience as well as the residents to face guilt and
regret, bitterness and revenge, dishonesty and corruption.
Guellen is economically running on empty1 and hopes for financial support by Claire,
who left Guellen 45 years ago and became a billionaire2 since then. When she arrives in
the town, people have to notice that nothing about the old lady still reminds of the
young Klaeri Waescher that they used to know. She has become exalted, emotionless
and cunning. Although she offers Guellen her economical help, one billion, she
connects her support with a horrible condition. The residents only get the money, if one
of them kills Alfred Ill (Felix Gerbig), her former lover, who once refused to admit being
her child’s father and labeled her a whore3 to prove that everyone could be the father.
Even though the habitants of Guellen reject her offer, everyone in the town starts
spending more money, buying more expensive tobacco, whiskey, food, new shoes and
so on, everything on credit. Everyone is expecting someone else to fulfill the lady’s
condition and thus expecting her money. People more and more blame Ill for all the
trouble, even expect him to “do the job” for them and to commit suicide. There is no
mercy, no compassion4.
The background music has been composed and performed on the grand piano by
Fabian Kummer, a KGN student.
Rehearsing since October, the theatre group practiced the famous play under the
artistic direction of theatre educator Uwe Froehlich, who is head of the school’s theatre
project since 2006/2007. As a result of their hard work and continuous improvement,
the KGN’s theatre project has become famous in the whole region.
The theatre group consists of 16 students, most of them 10th and 11th graders. “Der
Besuch der alten Dame” was the first finished piece they rehearsed, before, they always
wrote own pieces in teamwork. Therefore it is obvious, that this year’s theatre project
has been a totally new challenge and experience and has, according to public voices,
made the participants grow and improve a lot.
Due to the great performance this weekend and the group’s growing popularity,
people are looking forward to another two performances of “Der Besuch der alten
Dame” this September and October.

Sometimes you will hear new bands of which you probably never heard of. That’s
because there are many new bands that still aren’t that popular but show their music in
Jango. When you have listened to such a track, you will have to choose whether you like
this band or not. If you like the band, it’s a good support because like this, more users
will get to know the new band.
In our opinion, Jango is a webpage which is worth testing. Listening to music couldn’t
be easier. In combination with a social network it’s a good idea, so we think that every
music fan who wants to get to know new bands should at least visit Jango.com.

As we can see, this World Cup is full of surprises. The last World Champion, Italy, had to
leave after the Group Stage as well as the Vice-Champion France. Ghana is the only
African team which is still present. And South America convinces the most with its
fabulous players. But this World Cup, the referees are more discussed than the players.
Are they too strict? A host of yellow and red cards have been distributed yet and probably
there will be more following. The referees have also been criticised because of some big
mistakes, for example the goal in the game England – Germany that wasn’t accepted or the
obvious off-side goal that was counted in the game Argentina-Mexico.
We’ll see how the World Championship continues. There’s only one thing we can be sure
about: It is and it will remain a wonderful World Cup full of emotions and surprises.
