MOVIE THEATER
Ted
Hollywood, 7:45 pm
Children’s imagination joins hands with the most misbehaving of comedies, through the hands of expert Seth MacFarlane, also a director of One Thousand and One Ways to Kick the Boots and creator of series like family guy🇧🇷 American Dad or The Orville🇧🇷
The film, nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song for Everybody needs a best friend, centers on the friendship between John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) and his teddy bear (voiced by MacFarlane), who magically came to life when John made that wish at age eight. They have been inseparable ever since.
The relationship is called into question when John, largely because of his longtime girlfriend (Mila Kunis), begins to feel that the time has come for them to grow up and move forward with their respective adult lives alone.
The story continues in Ted 2 (at 9.30 pm), this time with the bear in a stable relationship and eager to start his own family – so he can legally prove that he is a person and not a toy.

Cristiano Ronaldo in Interview with Piers Morgan

Cristiano Ronaldo feels “betrayed” by Manchester United, who made him a “black sheep”, and adds that he has no respect for coach Erik ten Hag.
