Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Movie Story Available Must Read It

It’s been two years since Guy Ritchie, Robert Downey Jr., and Jude Law teamed up to create a new vision of Sherlock Holmes. Stripped of his polish and refinement, Ritchie’s vision brought a new direction for the master detective, complete with a complicated bromance (a word I suspect Holmes would detest as much as I do) between Holmes and Watson. The real shame of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Movie is that now, two years later, I couldn’t really remember my take on the film. I thought I liked it, but had to go back and read my own review as a reminder as to how I responded to the film – a picture I haven’t revisited since its 2009 release. Even the thought of a sequel didn’t compel me to revisit the original, just my own review.

While it may be a shame that I didn’t feel compelled to revisit the first picture, maybe that’s for the best. Ritchie’s sequel is a much stronger picture, building on the foundation of the original movie where Holmes’ eccentric behavior was established and taking that behavior a step further as Holmes (Downey Jr.) becomes obsessed with chasing down his nemesis, Professor James Moriarty (Jared Harris). That obsession brings Holmes back into conflict with his buddy, as Moriarty sees Watson (Law) and his new bride as easy targets for retribution in the game between the criminal mastermind and the world’s leading detective.

Much like the 2009 picture, Ritchie brings an interesting visual style to the world of Sherlock Holmes. The style of the first picture was one of the things I really liked, giving a feeling of squalor in the streets of London at the same time as bringing the excitement of the upcoming Industrial age – an era Holmes certainly was willing to embrace. That design continues here with great effect. Even as Game of Shadows moves into the countryside and spends time among French gypsies instead of London commoners, the grungy, pulpy feeling pervades, making the visuals feel like they could easily have been ripped from a novel.

The rapport between Downey Jr. and Jude Law is once again at the center of the story, although Watson is a lot more supportive this time around and Holmes is a bit crazier, if such a thing were possible. Downey Jr.’s approach to Holmes feels like it’s cut from the same mad, pure energy that gave birth to Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow. Both characters are heroic, devoted to their individual pursuits, and carry an intellect that could be considered quite mad. Much like Depp’s Sparrow works for his franchise, Downey grounds the character enough that it fits into Ritchie’s dirty reality, although some of that comes from his relationship with Law’s Watson.

Poor Rachel McAdams doesn’t quite make the cut for Game of Shadows – a bizarre twist considering I felt like the primary purpose her character served was to set up a potential sequel. The actress is kind enough to appear in the first ten to fifteen minutes of this picture, giving her character’s story a sense of closure before the leading lady baton is tossed to Noomi Rapace, a gypsy fortune teller who is unintentionally included in both Moriarty’s plot and Holmes’s plan to expose the criminal. She isn’t a romantic interest for Holmes, which I think I like better; the character feels more complete without a romantic pursuit, and Rapace is a good match for her character – not as good a match as Stephen Fry, who puts in time as Holmes’s equally eccentric brother, Mycroft, and completely steals at least one of the scenes he is in.

Ultimately, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Movie comes down to two pivotal relationships: Holmes and Watson, which was built excellently in the first movie and carries on well enough here, and Holmes and Moriarty, a brilliant symbiotic relationship between master criminal and master hunter. Every time Downey and Harris share the screen, the tension between their two characters becomes almost tangible. Unfortunately, that time on screen isn’t long enough, with the two characters kept separate by the plot for most of the story. Harris carries that tension with him whenever you see him – the frustration and excitement of being pursued by London’s best – but the same can’t quite be said of Downey, who has to spread his attention and energy to other matters and interactions over the course of the story. Still, it’s a stronger antagonistic relationship than Sherlock Holmes carried, and I almost wish they had brought Moriarty in sooner, or at least given the audience a more concrete feel for the character as played by Harris working behind the scenes there. What we get here is just too brief a treat.

There are still things about Ritchie’s portrayal of the leading detective that I don’t care for – the frenetic filming of some of the action, for example, but I think Game of Shadows is a much stronger film than its predecessor. Can Holmes and Watson endure another chapter? I hope so, but only if Moriarty or an equally compelling villain can play opposite Downey’s Holmes.

Story Of Arthur Christmas Movie Available

Arthur Christmas revolves around the current Santa Claus, his wife, his two sons Arthur and Steve, and their grandfather,Grand-Santa. Set on Christmas Eve night, the film opens with a set of elves sitting behind their computers in the command center of Santa's mile-wide[6], ultra-high-tech sleigh titled the S-1. While Santa and the elves deliver presents to children using fancy advanced equipment and military precision, Santa's oldest son Steve manages the operation at mission control, alongside his obsequious assistant Peter. However, his clumsy younger brother Arthur, who is assigned to handling childrens' letters in the maildepartment, inadvertently disrupts operations when he enters mission control to place some correspondence and a present falls out of the system as a result.

With the seventieth annual delivery mission under his official command completed, Santa, being far past his prime and whose role in field operations now is largely symbolic, returns to give a congratulatory speech to the elves. Much to Steve's frustration, who has long anticipated succeeding his father, Santa announces he intends to continue for the foreseeable future.

During their family Christmas dinner, Arthur's suggestion for the family to play a board game degenerates into a petty quarrel with Santa and Steve arguing about their right to be Santa while Grand-Santa, who is bored by retirement, resentfully criticizes his successors' modernization of their calling. Distraught, the various family members leave the dinner table, though Arthur stops Steve with a small gesture to reassure him that he will be a great Santa Claus. However, Steve rejects Arthur's overture, while at the same time their father shares his doubts with his wife about his self-identity if he retires.

In its espionage and secret-mission trappings, "Arthur Christmas" occasionally brings back memories of "Cars 2," which are not warm memories. But only occasionally. There's a wonderful supporting character along for Arthur's magic dust-fueled ride, a "wrapping operative" with an eyebrow piercing named Bryony (Ashley Jensen). This elf lives to gift-wrap, and the way she takes care of present-packaging and taping duties under extreme duress and time constraints becomes a lesson in sustaining a one-joke character.

Even when its storyline focuses on sibling rivalry or competing methods of yuletide maintenance, "Arthur Christmas" has the class not to devolve into constant bickering. Who knows? Perhaps the target audience will pick up a subliminal lesson or two in civility and kindness while trying to keep up with the onslaught of visual and verbal details.

Story Of Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked Movie Available

There is chipmunk gambling. There is seductive dancing by Chipettes wearing only towels. There is a musical gag involving the lyric “whip my tail back and forth.” How “Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked” ended up with only a G rating is a mystery.

Alvin, Theodore, Simon and the gal pals they picked up earlier in the franchise are back, and their human minder, Dave (Jason Lee), comes up with the not-very-bright idea of taking them on a cruise. (The Carnival line gets perhaps the largest product placement in film history.)

The whole gang ends up shipwrecked on a tropical island, along with the nefarious Ian (David Cross, who near the end delivers the film’s funniest speech) and lots of references to the Tom Hanks movie “Cast Away” that will elude the 5-year-olds in the audience.

The Chipmunks' pop song covers are meticulously arranged. Their fur is animated with care. Then Alvin makes a tween-baiting ''honey badger'' reference or slips into an ill-advised impersonation of a Latino thug (no, really), and Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked reverts to nothing more than a cynical stab at grabbing kids' attention—and, more importantly, their parents' cash.

Also on the island is Jenny Slate (playing a character named Zoe), who may have been exiled there after using the worst possible swear word in her first show as a member of the “Saturday Night Live” cast in 2009. No swear words here; just harmless fun. A particularly nice touch: Some of the ’munks change personalities as a result of a spider bite. Alvin the Responsible? Believe it.

Noteworthy names provide some of the animated voices — Justin Long, Christina Applegate, Amy Poehler — though that money might have been better spent elsewhere. Once they’re run through the chip-erator, these familiar voices are of course unrecognizable.

At rare moments, you get the impression that some of the people involved in the movie actually put thought into their work. The Chipmunks' pop song covers are meticulously arranged. Their fur is animated with care.

In their third big-screen adventure, the gang -- which now includes three harmonizing chipmunks, three dance-happy Chipettes, and their harried father figure (Jason Lee) -- tries for a relaxing cruise and ends up scavenging for mangoes alongside a brain-fried castaway ("SNL" vet Jenny Slate).

Story Of The Muppets Movie Available

The Muppets Movie: The Original Soundtrack was released, and it's filled with songs from the movie, The Muppets! If you're wondering, yes, Jason Segel and Amy Adams did sing some of the songs with the Muppets of course! Overall, the soundtrack's genre leans towards show tunes and Glee-type songs. There are some songs within the album that make it so much more than that.

In addition to songs, there are tracks titled, "Muppet Studios, I Can't Believe It," "I Haven't Seen the Old Gang," "We Drive," "That Spells Reno," "Welcome Back," "Party of One," and "We Humbly Ask," that are sound bites from the movie itself. They were placed in between the songs and it seemed to fit well in that sense.

Drum roll... Jason Segel's 'debut' song, "Life's A Happy Song," is a very upbeat and happy track that will get children and adults both skipping around due to the bounci-ness and the lightheartedness of the song. Segel is joined by co-stars Amy Adams, Mickey Rooney, Walter, and Feist in the performance and recording of the track.

Most of the core plot is a direct rehash of "It's a Very Merry Muppet Movie", a film that is to "The Muppets" what Michael Mann's TV movie "L.A. Takedown" is to his feature crime epic "Heat". In both films, the Muppet Theater is in danger of being demolished when a ruthless business tycoon (a hilarious Joan Cusack in the former, a rappin' Chris Cooper now) ends up owning the place. The Muppets must rally together, clearing away the cobwebs of the past, and do a big show to save it. "Muppet Christmas" deviates heavily by focusing on Kermit's crisis of confidence via a prolonged "It's A Wonderful Life" segment - a portion of that otherwise overly cornball film that actually elevates it, even if it is a familiar retread of Frank Capra. "The Muppets", whether intentionally or not, is a familiar retread of the rest of "A Very Muppet Christmas" - right down to guest appearances by Whoopi Goldberg (a human Muppet if there ever was one).

Like "Scream 4" earlier this year, "The Muppets", unable to decide if it's a sequel or a reboot, ends up being a precarious version of both. The agreeably fun (and somewhat meta) story of Kermit, Fozzie, Miss Piggy and company returning from obscurity for a new shot at the big time keeps getting stopped in favor of more time spent with Segel (in wide-eyed doughboy mode all the way) and Walter (who logically should've been the central character in the story instead of Segel, but instead his part is yet more regrettable deadweight). Including Amy Adams as a star of a Muppet movie is a perfect no-brainer; too bad she doesn't get to do anything in this one. While Adams' presence is wasted, Segel's utter lack of dancing ability is painfully obvious in the big musical numbers he's placed himself at the center of. Disney, taking no chances with "The Muppets", and unable to ever decline a chance at crass cross-promotion, trots out Disney Channel stars for cameos, and dresses numerous background signage with distracting "Cars 2" and "Winnie the Pooh" imagery. (Hey everyone, guess what's new on Disney DVD??)

All that said and endured, you will still love "The Muppets". Heck, not all the new music is forgettable - Kermit's new tune "Pictures In My Head" tugs the heartstrings just as it should. Sharp-eyed fans will notice a lot of obscure Muppets we haven't seen in a long time. Do go see this film - you'll be voting at the box office for more Muppet movies. And who knows, maybe those will be better. As they say, someday they'll find it. The old gang is a little worn here, and Disney's choice of celebrity mending may not be the best, but it's still great to see the classic Muppets movin' right along again.

Read The Story Of Hugo Movie Available

Three cheers for Martin Scorsese, who has not only made Hugo Movie one of the most lovingly fanciful and heartfelt films of the year -- he has also pulled off the subversive trick of introducing a new generation of kids to the magic of silent movies.

And, to boot, he's implanted potentially millions of little minds with the seeds of consciousness about film preservation, one of his pet causes. Yet he does it all within the context of a family-oriented movie for kids -- in 3D, no less.

Having never read Brian Selznick's children's book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, I had a hard time imagining why Scorsese -- whose list of potential future projects would take him three lifetimes to complete -- would take the time, energy and imagination necessary to make a movie for kids. And in 3D, no less. But Hugo eventually reveals itself as an obvious choice for this ultimate film lover/historian.

The title character is Hugo Movie Cabret (Asa Butterfield), a pale-eyed kid who lives in an apartment secreted in the walls of the depot, circa 1931. His job is to keep all of the various clocks in the station wound and keeping accurate time. But he must maintain a secret existence from the officious and silly station inspector (Sacha Baron Cohen), who tosses unclaimed children into the local orphanage. Hugo's daily quarry is the small toy shop in the corridors of the train station, full of small wind-up toys and overseen by an elderly (and cranky) old guy (Ben Kingsley), referred to as Papa Georges by his goddaughter, Isabelle (Chloe Moretz), who lives with him and picks him up each day.

One day Papa Georges catches Hugo picking up a toy that has fallen on the floor and accuses him of being a thief. Hugo protests, emptying his pockets to prove his innocence and to avoid a threatened encounter with the station inspector. The old man finds a small notebook full of drawings and notations that ring a bell; when Hugo won't tell him where the notebook came from, Papa George confiscates it, to Hugo's horror.

Hugo follows him home, encountering Isabelle instead and making her promise to keep Papa George from burning it, as he's threatened. The notebook, it turns out, was left to him by his late father (Jude Law), a clockmaker who has left him, among other things, a silvery automaton. Hugo has been laboring to find gears and cogs to match his father's drawings in hopes of repairing the automaton and getting it to work.

Eventually Scorsese works his way to the world of silent films -- from the extraterrestrial fantasies of pioneering French filmmaker George Melies to the stunning visual imagination of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. There are recreations of Melies' studio and clips from his earliest work, as well as moments that pay homage to Lloyd, Keaton and the famous photograph of an 1895 train crash.

The story here is about the timelessness of art and the carelessness of popular culture. Scorsese has the perfect vehicle to look at the notion of a contemporary society that tosses out the old to make way for the new, instead of venerating what has come before and recognizing that all art is, in effect, recycling and repurposing.

Visually, Scorsese is operating on all cylinders, aided in no small part by cinematographer Robert Richardson. Richardson's camera swoops and glides, starting with an astonishing shot that begins in the skies of Paris, soars down into the Paris train station, along the train platform, through the terminal, ending in a close-up of Hugo, peering out through a small window in a giant clock overlooking the main terminal below. It's the first of many amazing bits of camera trickery and innovation that blend actual images with computer-altered ones.

Scorsese is also one of the few directors who makes good use of 3D, the year's worst trend. His images of the Paris skyline make it look like an elaborate pop-up book -- and he also utilizes 3D in dialogue scenes to give his image a depth of field that would make Orson Welles drool with envy.

Hugo isn't perfect; in attempting to create a nearly wordless world of regulars who inhabit the train station, writer John Logan comes up with a weak romantic dalliance beween an elderly merchant (Richard Griffiths) and his age-appropriate counterpart, who runs a station eatery (Frances de la Tour). Too much of the Sacha Baron Cohen material is slapsticky in unimaginative ways, though Baron Cohen finds laughs even where few exist.

Butterfield is a likably vulnerable kid, a youthful hero not presented as being all-knowing or all-capable. He's physically bold but emotionally open, as is Moretz, as his eventual female sidekick. Kingsley is appropriately imperious, yet shows the cracks in this man's crusty exterior.

Hugo is transporting, a smart and imaginative treat that would make a great double-feature with Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist. Put it on your holiday movie list.

Watch Read Review Of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 Movie

We can talk about plot structure and narrative convention and whatnot in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 movie," but let's cut to what fans of the franchise really want to know: Taylor Lautner takes his shirt off in the first five seconds of the movie.That's got to be some kind of record. And for the junior-high crowd, the ticket line forms over to the left.

THE Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 movie is the penultimate entry in the popular movie franchise based on Stephenie Meyer’s books.

Forget that the film is too long and not very exciting, that the dialogue is still as deadly as a vampire bite (sorry -- the lame writing must be contagious) and that some of it is SPOKEN BY WOLVES. Well, werewolves, but still. What makes these movies popular are the stars -- Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Lautner - portraying a sort of supernatural high-school fantasy romance, with fangs and claws. All are in evidence here.

"Breaking Dawn," like the rest of the series, is based on a Stephenie Meyer novel. But like the last "Harry Potter" installment, the "Twilight" literary swan song has been split into two films. With "Potter," it was probably justified in the end. With "Twilight," one movie would have been more than enough. Even director Bill Condon, who has made films like "Gods and Monsters," can't do much with it.

As the film begins, it's the day before the wedding for Bella Swan (Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Pattinson). Everything seems nice enough, though it's a little odd since the family of the groom is a bunch of vampires and all. And Bella is nervous, as one might expect an 18-year-old bride to be; a nightmare prevents her from getting the beauty sleep wedding planner Alice (Ashley Greene) insists upon.

But the big day goes off nicely. The wedding is beautiful, the setting - the Cullen's property -- gorgeous. Jacob (Lautner) shows up as a friendly gesture, to bid Bella farewell on her last night as a human, before Edward turns her into a vampire.

But wait -- that's not the kind of honeymoon Bella has planned. Instead, she wants the normal human kind, which Jacob warns will kill her. (Some assumed knowledge about vampire sex is evidently useful here; I'm in the dark.) But soon enough Edward and Bella are on a beach in Brazil, where headboards are shattered, that sort of thing. Edward is afraid he'll hurt Bella, but she'll have none of that hesitation.

And then, evidently against all odds, Bella gets pregnant. The baby - half-vampire, half-human - grows quickly inside her, draining her of nutrients; she begins wasting away. A debate about whether to have the baby never really rises above the "It's a fetus!" "It's a baby!" level, but Bella's stance is clear: She will have the baby, even if it kills her (and it seems certain it will).

For some reason a half-vampire, half-human baby threatens the werewolves (of which Jacob is one, on the off chance you're not on board with the story). So they have a heated argument while in wolf form about what to do, which ranks as the most ridiculous thing in the movie - at least until the fight scene later on.

This takes a long time to unfold. Mostly we watch Bella sit around feeling terrible. Edward comes up with a novel remedy, but it has drawbacks. Can Bella survive the birth? And isn't survival a relative term in this context?

After showing a little spark in "Eclipse," the previous film in the series, Stewart is back in mope mode. Pattinson again stands around looking pale and soulful, while Lautner gets to act more, which is maybe not such a good thing.

It all builds to a final scene that is actually somewhat powerful, particularly considering what's come before. But overall the film is goofy, slight, without a truly deep thought in its pretty little head. And for a movie with vampires and werewolves, the only scary thing is in the title - "Part 1," which means "Part 2" is on its way. Shudder.

Read Review Of The Muppets Movie Available..

The Muppets Movie: The Original Soundtrack was released, and it’s filled with songs from the movie, The Muppets! If you’re wondering, yes, Jason Segel and Amy Adams did sing some of the songs with the Muppets of course! Overall, the soundtrack’s genre leans towards show tunes and Glee-type songs. There are some songs within the album that make it so much more than that.

In addition to songs, there are tracks titled, “Muppet Studios, I Can’t Believe It,” “I Haven’t Seen the Old Gang,” “We Drive,” “That Spells Reno,” “Welcome Back,” “Party of One,” and “We Humbly Ask,” that are sound bites from the movie itself. They were placed in between the songs and it seemed to fit well in that sense.

Drum roll… Jason Segel’s ‘debut’ song, “Life’s A Happy Song,” is a very upbeat and happy track that will get children and adults both skipping around due to the bounci-ness and the lightheartedness of the song. Segel is joined by co-stars Amy Adams, Mickey Rooney, Walter, and Feist in the performance and recording of the track.

Most of the core plot is a direct rehash of “It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie”, a film that is to “The Muppets” what Michael Mann’s TV movie “L.A. Takedown” is to his feature crime epic “Heat”. In both films, the Muppet Theater is in danger of being demolished when a ruthless business tycoon (a hilarious Joan Cusack in the former, a rappin’ Chris Cooper now) ends up owning the place. The Muppets must rally together, clearing away the cobwebs of the past, and do a big show to save it. “Muppet Christmas” deviates heavily by focusing on Kermit’s crisis of confidence via a prolonged “It’s A Wonderful Life” segment – a portion of that otherwise overly cornball film that actually elevates it, even if it is a familiar retread of Frank Capra. “The Muppets”, whether intentionally or not, is a familiar retread of the rest of “A Very Muppet Christmas” – right down to guest appearances by Whoopi Goldberg (a human Muppet if there ever was one).

Like “Scream 4″ earlier this year, “The Muppets”, unable to decide if it’s a sequel or a reboot, ends up being a precarious version of both. The agreeably fun (and somewhat meta) story of Kermit, Fozzie, Miss Piggy and company returning from obscurity for a new shot at the big time keeps getting stopped in favor of more time spent with Segel (in wide-eyed doughboy mode all the way) and Walter (who logically should’ve been the central character in the story instead of Segel, but instead his part is yet more regrettable deadweight). Including Amy Adams as a star of a Muppet movie is a perfect no-brainer; too bad she doesn’t get to do anything in this one. While Adams’ presence is wasted, Segel’s utter lack of dancing ability is painfully obvious in the big musical numbers he’s placed himself at the center of. Disney, taking no chances with “The Muppets”, and unable to ever decline a chance at crass cross-promotion, trots out Disney Channel stars for cameos, and dresses numerous background signage with distracting “Cars 2″ and “Winnie the Pooh” imagery. (Hey everyone, guess what’s new on Disney DVD??)

All that said and endured, you will still love “The Muppets”. Heck, not all the new music is forgettable – Kermit’s new tune “Pictures In My Head” tugs the heartstrings just as it should. Sharp-eyed fans will notice a lot of obscure Muppets we haven’t seen in a long time. Do go see this film – you’ll be voting at the box office for more Muppet movies. And who knows, maybe those will be better. As they say, someday they’ll find it. The old gang is a little worn here, and Disney’s choice of celebrity mending may not be the best, but it’s still great to see the classic Muppets movin’ right along again.

Must Read The Review Of Hugo Movie

Three cheers for Martin Scorsese, who has not only made Hugo Movie. one of the most lovingly fanciful and heartfelt films of the year — he has also pulled off the subversive trick of introducing a new generation of kids to the magic of silent movies.

And, to boot, he’s implanted potentially millions of little minds with the seeds of consciousness about film preservation, one of his pet causes. Yet he does it all within the context of a family-oriented movie for kids — in 3D, no less.

Having never read Brian Selznick’s children’s book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, I had a hard time imagining why Scorsese — whose list of potential future projects would take him three lifetimes to complete — would take the time, energy and imagination necessary to make a movie for kids. And in 3D, no less. But Hugo eventually reveals itself as an obvious choice for this ultimate film lover/historian.

The title character is Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield), a pale-eyed kid who lives in an apartment secreted in the walls of the depot, circa 1931. His job is to keep all of the various clocks in the station wound and keeping accurate time. But he must maintain a secret existence from the officious and silly station inspector (Sacha Baron Cohen), who tosses unclaimed children into the local orphanage.

Hugo’s daily quarry is the small toy shop in the corridors of the train station, full of small wind-up toys and overseen by an elderly (and cranky) old guy (Ben Kingsley), referred to as Papa Georges by his goddaughter, Isabelle (Chloe Moretz), who lives with him and picks him up each day.

One day Papa Georges catches Hugo picking up a toy that has fallen on the floor and accuses him of being a thief. Hugo protests, emptying his pockets to prove his innocence and to avoid a threatened encounter with the station inspector. The old man finds a small notebook full of drawings and notations that ring a bell; when Hugo won’t tell him where the notebook came from, Papa George confiscates it, to Hugo’s horror.

Hugo follows him home, encountering Isabelle instead and making her promise to keep Papa George from burning it, as he’s threatened. The notebook, it turns out, was left to him by his late father (Jude Law), a clockmaker who has left him, among other things, a silvery automaton. Hugo has been laboring to find gears and cogs to match his father’s drawings in hopes of repairing the automaton and getting it to work.

Eventually Scorsese works his way to the world of silent films — from the extraterrestrial fantasies of pioneering French filmmaker George Melies to the stunning visual imagination of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. There are recreations of Melies’ studio and clips from his earliest work, as well as moments that pay homage to Lloyd, Keaton and the famous photograph of an 1895 train crash.

The story here is about the timelessness of art and the carelessness of popular culture. Scorsese has the perfect vehicle to look at the notion of a contemporary society that tosses out the old to make way for the new, instead of venerating what has come before and recognizing that all art is, in effect, recycling and repurposing.

Visually, Scorsese is operating on all cylinders, aided in no small part by cinematographer Robert Richardson. Richardson’s camera swoops and glides, starting with an astonishing shot that begins in the skies of Paris, soars down into the Paris train station, along the train platform, through the terminal, ending in a close-up of Hugo, peering out through a small window in a giant clock overlooking the main terminal below. It’s the first of many amazing bits of camera trickery and innovation that blend actual images with computer-altered ones.

Scorsese is also one of the few directors who makes good use of 3D, the year’s worst trend. His images of the Paris skyline make it look like an elaborate pop-up book — and he also utilizes 3D in dialogue scenes to give his image a depth of field that would make Orson Welles drool with envy.

Hugo isn’t perfect; in attempting to create a nearly wordless world of regulars who inhabit the train station, writer John Logan comes up with a weak romantic dalliance beween an elderly merchant (Richard Griffiths) and his age-appropriate counterpart, who runs a station eatery (Frances de la Tour). Too much of the Sacha Baron Cohen material is slapsticky in unimaginative ways, though Baron Cohen finds laughs even where few exist.

Butterfield is a likably vulnerable kid, a youthful hero not presented as being all-knowing or all-capable. He’s physically bold but emotionally open, as is Moretz, as his eventual female sidekick. Kingsley is appropriately imperious, yet shows the cracks in this man’s crusty exterior.

Hugo is transporting, a smart and imaginative treat that would make a great double-feature with Michel Hazanavicius’ The Artist. Put it on your holiday movie list.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 Movie Review Is Here Must Read It.

THE Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 movie is the penultimate entry in the popular movie franchise based on Stephenie Meyer’s books.

Lovers Bella (Kirsten Stewart) and vampire Edward (Robert Pattinson) finally get married but news that Bella is pregnant isn’t met with traditional joy as her unborn child threatens Bella’s life and the future of the Volturi vampire coven and Quileute wolf pack.

Well, I was big enough to hold my hands up and admit that after a horrible experience watching the first two films in the Twilight Saga, I actually enjoyed the third entry; last year’s Eclipse.

Breaking Dawn – Part 1 is a notch below Eclipse but avoids the stench left by the earlier movies (sorry Twi-Hards!).

They’ve gone down the Harry Potter route of splitting the last book into two movies, with Part 2 coming our way next November.

It’s a real up and down film with some flashes of genuine brilliance… and cringeworthy moments.

Bill Condon (Dreamgirls, Gods and Monsters) makes his series debut in the director’s chair (he’ll helm Part 2 as well) and brings some visual style to this entry.

An Edward flashback sees him sitting in a cinema watching Bride of Frankenstein (a clear nod to Twilight’s central relationship) and a red and white-bathed wedding dream sequence is deliciously devilish.

Bella and Edward’s wedding provides the necessary “aww, that’s lovely” cutesy moments (Bella arm-in-arm with her dad) and very funny speeches from Charlie (Billy Burke), Emmett (Kellan Lutz) and Jessica (Anna Kendrick).

So watching Edward watch Bella walk down that aisle, the adoration in his eyes, the relief when she says “yes,” the kiss that seals their union — quite honestly it doesn’t seem like acting per se (if it is, then it’s one of his best performances). And I won’t even go into the whole honeymoon night sequence, or the way the actors’ on-screen “chemistry” is being marketed, or the mixed-messages it sends to girls about their first sexual experience.

But that’s not the film’s real problem. What Meyer did so brilliantly in the book (or at least really, really well), and what Melissa Rosenberg’s script fails to do, is to mine all the dramatic potential of the symbolic implications of immortality.

The book gives over quite a few of its 756 pages to Bella’s struggle with the high price of dying to live forever, especially for her parents, and Edward’s guilt about it. And there is barely a mention of the provocative abortion debate — should the vampire-human hybrid created during the honeymoon be “removed” before it kills Bella?

For conflict, we’re left with Bella in a few moments of contemplation and consternation — which requires very little from Stewart, an actress capable of so much more. The rest of the tension building is left up to Jacob and his werewolf issues. He goes postal when the wedding invitation arrives, hackles raised, lots of growling, disappearing for days, so that’s a real nail-biter …

For those keeping score, “Breaking Dawn” is missing the interesting indie edge that director Catherine Hardwicke brought to the first film. It does not flat line as badly as the second, “New Moon,” which would have died without the werewolves’ bite. It loses the brief emotional uptick of No. 3, “Eclipse,” which saw the cast blossom into actual actors. So in the “Twilight” pantheon, “Breaking Dawn Part 1″ is at best a draw. Hopefully they’ll fix what’s wrong before next year’s finale, because I really can’t take another broken heart.

Get The Wanderlust Movie Review And Trailer

Wanderlust Movie is written and directed by David Wain, who wrote Role Models, which I still laugh at cause it’s hilarious. Unlike your face, which I laugh at cause it’s ugly. BURN ON YOU.

Anyways, Wain has an interesting career, but nothing is so funny as the fact that in I Love You, Man he played a Wedding Photographer, but then in Along Came Polly he played a Wedding Videographer. He’s the type of dude who has a shit job while other people are busy having a good life.

A regular married couple try to liven up their marriage by taking part in an unconventional society, which will likely not suit their more urban lifestyle.

Remember that movie with Tim Allen and Fat Actress? For Richer or Poorer. A rich couple went and lived with the Amish. That’s essentially what this will end up being, but with Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston, so the film will be likable, but also sorta bland and boring.

My alternative movie idea is for it to be called Wizardlust, which is a fantasy film about wizards riding brooms, playing with their wands, and boning.

Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston star as George and Linda, a couple of high-flying New Yorkers who suddenly find themselves having to downshift when he’s fired. They try moving to Atlanta, where George’s obnoxious brother (Ken Marino) has offered him a job. But when that doesn’t work out, they go driving around the country, eventually ending up in error at the Elysium commune. And that’s when the trouble really starts.

It’s a regular trailer, so we’re honestly more interested to see what Wain and co can shove into any likely Red Band release, but there are a few chuckles here. And he has definitely recruited a good comedy cast, with the likes of Paul’s Joe Lo Truglio featured alongside Alan Alda, Malin Akerman, Justin Theroux and Todd Barry.

Given how much Wain and co-writer Marino (who returns to script duty once more here) were able to make of Role Models, we’re interested to see them tackling an original movie. The presence of Judd Apatow as producer likely won’t have hurt, either…

Review And Watch Trailer Of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 Movie

We can talk about plot structure and narrative convention and whatnot in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 movie,” but let’s cut to what fans of the franchise really want to know: Taylor Lautner takes his shirt off in the first five seconds of the movie.That’s got to be some kind of record. And for the junior-high crowd, the ticket line forms over to the left.

Forget that the film is too long and not very exciting, that the dialogue is still as deadly as a vampire bite (sorry — the lame writing must be contagious) and that some of it is SPOKEN BY WOLVES. Well, werewolves, but still. What makes these movies popular are the stars — Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Lautner – portraying a sort of supernatural high-school fantasy romance, with fangs and claws. All are in evidence here.

“Breaking Dawn,” like the rest of the series, is based on a Stephenie Meyer novel. But like the last “Harry Potter” installment, the “Twilight” literary swan song has been split into two films. With “Potter,” it was probably justified in the end. With “Twilight,” one movie would have been more than enough. Even director Bill Condon, who has made films like “Gods and Monsters,” can’t do much with it.

As the film begins, it’s the day before the wedding for Bella Swan (Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Pattinson). Everything seems nice enough, though it’s a little odd since the family of the groom is a bunch of vampires and all. And Bella is nervous, as one might expect an 18-year-old bride to be; a nightmare prevents her from getting the beauty sleep wedding planner Alice (Ashley Greene) insists upon.

But the big day goes off nicely. The wedding is beautiful, the setting – the Cullen’s property — gorgeous. Jacob (Lautner) shows up as a friendly gesture, to bid Bella farewell on her last night as a human, before Edward turns her into a vampire.

But wait — that’s not the kind of honeymoon Bella has planned. Instead, she wants the normal human kind, which Jacob warns will kill her. (Some assumed knowledge about vampire sex is evidently useful here; I’m in the dark.) But soon enough Edward and Bella are on a beach in Brazil, where headboards are shattered, that sort of thing. Edward is afraid he’ll hurt Bella, but she’ll have none of that hesitation.

And then, evidently against all odds, Bella gets pregnant. The baby – half-vampire, half-human – grows quickly inside her, draining her of nutrients; she begins wasting away. A debate about whether to have the baby never really rises above the “It’s a fetus!” “It’s a baby!” level, but Bella’s stance is clear: She will have the baby, even if it kills her (and it seems certain it will).

For some reason a half-vampire, half-human baby threatens the werewolves (of which Jacob is one, on the off chance you’re not on board with the story). So they have a heated argument while in wolf form about what to do, which ranks as the most ridiculous thing in the movie – at least until the fight scene later on.

This takes a long time to unfold. Mostly we watch Bella sit around feeling terrible. Edward comes up with a novel remedy, but it has drawbacks. Can Bella survive the birth? And isn’t survival a relative term in this context?

After showing a little spark in “Eclipse,” the previous film in the series, Stewart is back in mope mode. Pattinson again stands around looking pale and soulful, while Lautner gets to act more, which is maybe not such a good thing.

It all builds to a final scene that is actually somewhat powerful, particularly considering what’s come before. But overall the film is goofy, slight, without a truly deep thought in its pretty little head. And for a movie with vampires and werewolves, the only scary thing is in the title – “Part 1,” which means “Part 2″ is on its way. Shudder.

The trailer of the movie is also lovable to watch.if you did not saw this then you can watch The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 Trailer from here.

Read Review Of Young Adult Movie

  Young Adult is based on Cody’s original screenplay about Mavis Gary (Theron), a teen literature author who experiences somewhat of a meltdown following her divorce. She thereafter decides to return to her small home town in Minnesota, in the hopes of both reliving her glory days and reuniting with her high school sweetheart, Buddy Slade (Patrick Wilson). The problem – as one of Mavis’ former classmates (Patton Oswalt) points out – is that Buddy is not only married, but even has kids now.

 

Theron appears to do a good job in Young Adult of playing Mavis in a more understated fashion. That is a relief, seeing how a whiskey-sipping, former high school “popular girl” who’s suffered a semi-psychotic breakdown and is genuinely determined to seduce a married man (or, rather, a “Queen B***h” as the David Bowie song in this trailer puts it) is exactly the sort of role that could easily be used an an excuse for an actress to chew the scenery like nothing else.

Young Adult likewise appears to be quite unapologetic about playing its protagonist’s behavior and delusions for uncomfortable laughs. The decision to cast stars like Oswalt – who can actually handle both awkward comedy and drama (see: his performance in Big Fan) – and Wilson as the ordinary handsome type, seems all the wiser, since both are well-fitted for their respective roles here.

One last thing – it’s nice to see that Cody seemingly won’t go overboard with her trademark “hip” dialogue in Young Adult, seeing how the idea of grown adults talking like the teens in Juno or Jennifer’s Body would probably seem all the more ridiculous and forced than… well, than it did in either of those two films.Young Adult begins a limited theatrical release in the U.S. on December 9th, 2011. It will expand wider a week later, on the 16th.

Tips For Treatment Of Allergy

 An allergy is an exaggerated immune response or reaction to substances that are generally not harmful.Allergies are relatively common. Both genetics and environmental factors play a role.The immune system normally protects the body against harmful substances, such as bacteria and viruses. It also reacts to foreign substances called allergens, which are generally harmless and in most people do not cause a problem.

But in a person with allergies, the immune response is oversensitive. When it recognizes an allergen, it releases chemicals such as histamines. which fight off the allergen. This causes itching, swelling, mucus production, muscle spasms, hives, rashes, and other symptoms, which vary from person to person.Common allergens include pollen, mold, pet dander, and dust. Food and drug allergies are common. Allergic reactions can also be caused by insect bites, jewelry, cosmetics, spices, and other substances.

Some people have allergy-like reactions to hot or cold temperatures, sunlight, or other environmental triggers. Sometimes, friction (rubbing or roughly stroking the skin) will cause symptoms.A specific allergy is not usually passed down through families (inherited). However, if both your parents have allergies, you are likely to have allergies. The chance is greater if your mother has allergies.Allergies may make certain medical conditions such as sinus problems, eczema, and asthma worse.

Symptoms:-Allergy symptoms vary, but may include:

Breathing problems (coughing, shortness of breath)
Burning, tearing, or itchy eyes
Conjunctivitis (red, swollen eyes)
Coughing
Diarrhea
Headache
Hives
Itching of the nose, mouth, throat, skin, or any other area
Runny nose
Skin rashes
Stomach cramps
Vomiting
Wheezing

What part of the body is contacted by the allergen plays a role in the symptoms of allergy you develop. For example:
    Allergens that are breathed in often cause a stuffy nose, itchy nose and throat, mucus production, cough, or wheezing
    Allergens that touch the eyes may cause itchy, watery, red, swollen eyes.
    Eating something you are allergic to can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, or a severe, life-threatening reaction
    Allergens that touch the skin can cause a skin rash, hives, itching, blisters, or even skin peeling
    Drug allergies usually involve the whole body and can lead to a variety of symptoms

Treatment

Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) require treatment with a medicine called epinephrine, which can be life saving when immediately given.The best way to reduce symptoms is to try and avoid what causes your allergies in the first place. This is especially important for food and drug allergies.

There are several types of medications available to prevent and treat allergies. Which medicine your doctor recommends depends on the type and severity of your symptoms, your age, and overall health.

Specific illnesses that are caused by allergies (such as asthma, hay fever, and eczema) may require other treatments.

Understanding anxiety disorders

It’s normal to worry and feel tense or scared when under pressure or facing a stressful situation. Anxiety is the body’s natural response to danger, an automatic alarm that goes off when you feel threatened.

Although it may be unpleasant, anxiety isn’t always a bad thing. In fact, anxiety can help you stay alert and focused, spur you to action, and motivate you to solve problems. But when anxiety is constant or overwhelming, when it interferes with your relationships and activities—that’s when you’ve crossed the line from normal anxiety into the territory of anxiety disorders.

Signs and symptoms of anxiety disorders

Because anxiety disorders are a group of related conditions rather than a single disorder, they can look very different from person to person. One individual may suffer from intense anxiety attacks that strike without warning, while another gets panicky at the thought of mingling at a party. Someone else may struggle with a disabling fear of driving, or uncontrollable, intrusive thoughts. Yet another may live in a constant state of tension, worrying about anything and everything.

Despite their different forms, all anxiety disorders share one major symptom: persistent or severe fear or worry in situations where most people wouldn’t feel threatened.

Treatment options for anxiety disorders

Anxiety disorders respond very well to treatment—and often in a relatively short amount of time. The specific treatment approach depends on the type of anxiety disorder and its severity. But in general, most anxiety disorders are treated with behavioral therapy, medication, or some combination of the two. New research has also revealed a number of beneficial complementary treatments for anxiety.

Symptoms Of Arthritis

Arthritis is a joint disorder featuring inflammation. A joint is an area of the body where two bones meet. A joint functions to allow movement of the body parts it connects. Arthritis literally means inflammation of one or more joints. Arthritis is frequently accompanied by joint pain. Joint pain is referred to as arthralgia. Causes
Arthritis involves the breakdown of cartilage. Cartilage normally protects a joint, allowing it to move smoothly. Cartilage also absorbs shock when pressure is placed on the joint, such as when you walk. Without the normal amount of cartilage, the bones rub together, causing pain, swelling (inflammation), and stiffness.
Joint inflammation may result from:
An autoimmune disease (the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue)
Broken bone
General "wear and tear" on joints
Infection, usually by bacteria or virus
Usually the joint inflammation goes away after the cause goes away or is treated. Sometimes it does not. When this happens, you have chronic arthritis. Arthritis may occur in men or women. Osteoarthritis is the most common type. See: Osteoarthritis
Other, more common types of arthritis include:
Symptoms
Arthritis causes joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited movement. Symptoms of arthritis can include:
Joint pain
Joint swelling
Reduced ability to move the joint
Redness of the skin around a joint
Stiffness, especially in the morning
Warmth around a joint
Treatment
The goal of treatment is to reduce pain, improve function, and prevent further joint damage. The underlying cause cannot usually be cured.
LIFESTYLE CHANGES
Lifestyle changes are the preferred Arthritis treatment for osteoarthritis and other types of joint inflammation. Exercise can help relieve stiffness, reduce pain and fatigue, and improve muscle and bone strength. Your health care team can help you design an exercise program that is best for you.
Exercise programs may include:
Low-impact aerobic activity (also called endurance exercise)
Range of motion exercises for flexibility
Strength training for muscle tone
Physical therapy may be recommended. This might include:
Heat or ice
Splints or orthotics to support joints and help improve their position; this is often needed for rheumatoid arthritis
Water therapy
Massage
Other recommendations:
Get plenty of sleep. Sleeping 8 to 10 hours a night and taking naps during the day can help you recover from a flare-up more quickly and may even help prevent flare ups.
Avoid staying in one position for too long.
Avoid positions or movements that place extra stress on your sore joints.
Change your home to make activities easier. For example, install grab bars in the shower, the tub, and near the toilet.
Try stress-reducing activities, such as meditation, yoga, or tai chi.
Eat a healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables, which contain important vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin E.
Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acides, such as cold water fish (salmon, mackerel, and herring), flaxseed, rapeseed (canola) oil, soybeans, soybean oil, pumpkin seeds, and walnuts.
Apply capsaicin cream over your painful joints. You may feel improvement after applying the cream for 3-7 days.
Lose weight, if you are overweight. Weight loss can greatly improve joint pain in the legs and feet.
MEDICATIONS
Medications may be prescribed along with lifestyle changes. All medications have risks, some more than others. It is important that you are closely monitored by a doctor when taking arthritis medications.
Generally, over-the-counter medications are recommended first:
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is usually tried first. Take up to 4 grams a day (two arthritis-strength Tylenol every 8 hours). Do not take more than the recommended dose or take the drug along with a lot of alcohol. Doing so may damage your your liver.
Aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that can relieve arthritis pain. However, they have many potential risks, especially if used for a long time. Potential side effects include heart attack, stroke, stomach ulcers, bleeding from the digestive tract, and kidney damage.
Prescription medicines include:
Biologics are used for the treatment of autoimmune arthritis. They include etanercept (Enbrel), infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab (Humira), abatacept (Orencia), rituximab (Rituxan), golimumab (Simponi), certolizumab (Cimzia), and tocilizumab (Actemra). These drugs can improve the quality of life for many patients, but can have serious side effects.
Corticosteroids ("steroids") help reduce inflammation. They may be injected into painful joints or given by mouth.
Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are used to treat autoimmune arthritis. They include methotrexate, gold salts, penicillamine, sulfasalazine, and hydroxychloroquine.
Immunosuppressants such as azathioprine or cyclophosphamide are used to treat patients with rheumatoid arthritis when other medications have not worked.
It is very important to take your medications as directed by your doctor. If you are having difficulty doing so (for example, because of side effects), you should talk to your doctor. Also make sure your doctor knows about all the medicines you are taking, including vitamins and supplements bought without a prescription.
SURGERY AND OTHER TREATMENTS
In some cases, surgery may be done if other treatments have not worked. This may include:
Arthroplasty to rebuild the joint
Joint replacement, such as a total knee joint replacement
