Must Read The Review Of Hugo Movie

Three cheers for Martin Scorsese, who has not only made Hugo Movieone 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.

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

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.

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 Movie," 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 - "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 Movie," 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.

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…
