Shame Movie Story Line:- After the critically acclaimed 2008 film, ‘Hunger’, Steve McQueen once again explores the controversial terrains of sex-centered drama, in Shame, which is an adult movie that raises the benchmark of this otherwise down-rated genre. The movie centers on a sex-addict, Brandon, played by Michael Fassbender, marking the actor’s second collaboration with McQueen, after their first film together, ‘Hunger’. Brought up in Manhattan, Brandon has always had it easy, when it came to finding women to fulfill his sexual desires. His handsome looks and charming personality worked in his favor, not leaving much else for him to do. However, the problem is that this man does not seem to be satisfied, no matter how much he gets. One moment he’s laying the blonde bimbo he met at the club, and the next, he’s masturbating in a desperate attempt to fulfill his next sexual urge. His house is a hub of porn stash, and sex seems to be all that is on his mind. Watch Shame online to see what happens, when his younger sister, Sissy, played by Carey Mulligan, moves in to live with him. Brandon’s fantasies begin to run out of control, and his sister’s devil-may-care attitude just makes things more difficult for him. The film explores the most hidden aspects of the human mind, showing how catastrophic the results of a mind let lose can be. The movie has earned Fassbender the best actor award at the Venice Film Festival, and has received a positive response from film critics, earning a Metacritic score of 94.

Shame Movie Review:- Shame is a movie about a New York man, Brandon, (the amazing and underrated Michael Fassbender) trying to live a normal life while keeping his sex life in control. Things become more difficult when Brandon's sister (the great, busy, and beautiful Carey Mulligan) shows up and he is not sure how to fit her in and deal with her in his life during this problem. Shame talks about sex and addiction and how it affects us and the one's we love. Sex addiction is a new subject and a timely one. It is a disorder that is only now being recognized and talked about and this film will only fuel the conversation. Is it really an addiction or the way of man? Is it really a quest for sex or is it the need for need itself? Is sex an emotional weapon, anchor, saviour, or can it be used for all. Are multiple sexual partners completely void of all love or is it the search for it? All of these questions asked and all themes in Shame.

Sex is always a tricky subject even in conversation because it is so subjective. What is something to one person may not be to another, or right and wrong. Shame knows exactly what it is hits the mark beautifully. Mcqueen and Fassbender again make a perfect team, one knowing what he wants to make and the other having the means to transfer that vision. The sex is full frontal, in your face, sometimes passionate and sometimes void of love but it is never gratuitous. It is real.

I believe this movie is so great because of the team and cast putting it together. Any subject can be attempted and I am happy this particular movie and subject matter has the crew that it does. Shame is raw and beautifully artistic without being pretentious. Steve McQueen is the director of Shame and he has only ever had one other directing gig. That movie was Hunger from 2008. Michael Fassbender was also the star in this movie. It was an incredibly powerful movie and an incredible power performance. Steve Mcqueen was a first time director who instantly found his voice in Hunger. The movie shows the IRA in the famous Maze prison and the horrific mistreatment of its prisoners. The movie is elegant, beautiful, touching, sad, and draws you in completely while it is simultaneously gruesome, disgusting, filthy, and horrific. The movie shows the awful things done to them and the disgusting ways they protested until the final half of the film which results in a hunger strike. The movie is completely character driven, yet at the same time has such a artful and passionate voice it becomes more than the characters themselves. Michael Fassbender had one of the best performances of his career, the year, and all time. He had to lose unhealthy amounts of weight for the film. Fass had to show the pain and belief in what he was doing for long scenes without talking, and also had to know enormously lengthy scenes in a different accent. There is a scene with Fass and a priest where they talk as friends about the planned hunger strike. It is about twelve minutes long. A 12 minute long scene with no cut ( if they made a mistake you would have to restart the entire scene) and constant dialogue full of wit and difficult prose. It is the most impressive scenes I have ever seen in a movie. The Academy Awards left Hunger, Mcqueen, and Fassbender unfairly out of the Oscar race. There has been Oscar buzz humming around Shame and I am hoping the Academy doesn't drop the golden statue on this one.

Directors who write and direct their movies have a certain style. You can always know their work because they write in their own way and direct whatever they imagine. Directors like Tarantino (Pulp Fiction), the Coen Brothers (Fargo), and Ritchie (RocknRolla) have a noticeable fashion to their movies. A person could identify one of their movies by watching it without seeing the credits or knowing beforehand. There are certain directors who are amazing and can find a style when they don't write the screenplay, something I myself find just as impressive as writing themselves. Spielberg (Munich), Fincher (The Social Network), Mann (Collateral, and Scorsese (Taxi Driver) are all directors in my mind that have their own recognizable style in all movies. They are able to find a voice regardless of who wrote it and when. Steve Mcqueen I believe is a director who does both. He has co written both Hunger and Shame with different writing partners. Mcqueen has scripts written and he helps to work on it with them to find the best way to get his voice across. Stevey wants a hand in the screenplay and the other writers trust him even with a lack of proved experience.

Sleeping Beauty Movie Plot:- Sleeping Beauty is an Australian movie that treats the subject of prostitution in a very different way. Presenting nudity as an art, it brings to you the story of Lucy, who happens to be a young and fierce student. Emily Browning plays the role and does it with style and grace, so much so, that her performances can be considered among the very best that there have ever been. Lucy is shown working part time to fulfill her money requirements. She volunteers for medical experiments and also goes for occasional prostitution. Prostitution leads her to a ‘niche sex industry.’ The concept of this industry is that old, tuxedo donning gentlemen, pay young women to wait for them in their beds almost naked and in a drugged state. The deal is that these elderly people can do whatever they wish to with these women except for going for that customary orgasm. When you watch Sleeping Beauty online, you see that Lucy does not do all of it due to sheer lack of monetary resources, she is on a self punishment sort of a thing, where her troubled past plays the main reason behind her actions. Author Julia Leigh turns director with this movie, which makes for a pretty fine debut. This movie sends some pretty strong signals to the women in the sex industry. It is a movie that can be seen with an open mind as it is a project, which is open to interpretations. How this movie turns out for you depends on how you take it. Its emotional seriousness is what can be labeled as the base on which it stands. A powerful movie made with fine skill and backed by remarkable performances. Watch it for its bold yet different approach to the subject of prostitution.

Sleeping Beauty Movie Review:- The depiction of human nature in this film is not completely miserable, but it's pretty miserable. Emily Browning plays the largely inscrutable Lisa, a university student in Sydney already exhibiting degrees of nihilistic behaviour before she signs on as a silver service lingerie waitress in a very weird, hoity-toity brothel of sorts. She quickly 'graduates' to the position of Sleeping Beauty in which, while voluntarily drugged and asleep, she becomes a sexual prop for grey-haired men rich enough to pay for the service. While asleep, she sees and knows nothing of what happens, but the audience of this film sees plenty. What is seen and heard is more disturbing than it is visually explicit, excepting the nudity of all involved, especially Browning's.

The question is - what is all this about? It is beautifully designed and photographed in still, square-on Kubrick style, with minimal editing and music. There are degrees of suspense and disturbance, mystery and eroticism, but there isn't much of a vector for any of these elements. The characters are variously arch and obnoxious, cold, stupid, reckless and unkind. We know little about any of them, and most of what we do learn doesn't make much sense. Bizarrely, the kindest person in the film seems to be the madam of the brothel, played by a magnificently still Rachael Blake.

I wondered, while watching Sleeping Beauty, how it was going to end itself. The final scene is pretty unsatisfying, given that the resolution depends on Lisa eventually seeking to find out what has been going on during her sleeps - something the audience doesn't just know already, but has watched at length as fact. And there is a twist which potentially confuses the denouement.

There is no doubting that this film is an experience and finely made, but there's a strain of dumb misery and pessimism at work here along the lines of Catherine Breillat and Michael Haneke. Everybody is hopeless and unkind, they don't know what they want, they can't evolve, they don't want to evolve. Lisa seems interested in a promiscuous brand of self-destruction for reasons the audience basically has to invent. The whole film also teeters on the edge of being one of those pieces where every single man is depicted as being a sex-enslaved scumbag. What you're left with is an aesthetically interesting film with a strong sensibility, but which is wearily negative about everything, and whose ending is also a letdown on the film's own terms.

Arthur Christmas Movie Story Line:- Every kid loves to explore that from where Santa Claus comes, how he secretly leaves gifts for them and much more, as they grow up hearing the stories of their favorite Christmas Eve character. Here is the movie called Arthur Christmas that unleashes the imaginations of the kids, who are all in love with the Santa. The theme of this kids-oriented film centers on the life of Santa’s purported son named Arthur, played by McAvoy. He is a well-behaved, disciplined, but maladroit boy, who is on a clandestine mission, which he has to accomplish before the Christmas dawn breaks in the city. Basically the movie has two sub-plots; one where Arthur, who belongs to a comically dysfunctional family, is on his way to accomplish his secret motive and two, where the whole scenario of Santa being real or imaginary is presented, which keeps the children at the tenterhooks. You can gift Arthur Christmas video to your children and cheer them up with this exhilarating movie. They would love to have it as a festive present.

Arthur Christmas Movie Review:- I brought a group of willing friends to go see Arthur Christmas, one of which had never seen a 3D movie before. This made it even more exciting. I like seeing the new Christmas movies coming out, and I like to see if any of them would make my yearly tradition. Arthur Christmas, unfortunately, is not one of them.

What a blatantly average movie at best. The movie starts out bad, with a music video by Justin Bieber, no less. That pretty much sets the tone for the rest of the movie. He's singing Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. Couldn't he sing something original like what Mariah Carey did? Anyway, once that torture is over with, we start with the movie. The song plays briefly again, and we just wanted it to stop! Then we see these elves stealthy enter people's homes and try to deliver presents without being seen. This part was actually pretty cool and it starts off with some energy. After that whole scenario, the energy winds down as we are introduced to the plot. It seems it was a successful mission, or so they thought, as one present wasn't delivered to some little girl named Gwen. Arthur is determined to deliver this present, despite his brother Steve (played with cool by Hugh Laurie) and his dad Santa Claus not really caring and calling it a night. So Arthur takes his grandpa and some reindeer out to deliver the present in some wild adventure ride.

You see, the problem is: I just don't care. Arthur cares. His grandpa cares, but I don't. Apparently my friends didn't, either. The characters all seem one-dimensional aside from Hugh Laurie's portrayal of Steve and the filmed lacked all energy at this point. It was as if the film was being made because it had to. Aside from a couple of good scenes (the lions attack scene and Arthur getting back on the sleigh), this film was just one boring ride. Also, sometimes when the action is getting good, they keep cutting to someone talking and it drove me nuts! By the end of it, it was a forced happy ending and when I say forced, I mean FORCED! The words happy is practically shouted off on the screen as if to assure all the little kids that everyone is happy. Well, I really didn't care and the movie was pretty lame. Oh yeah, and the 3D wasn't very good and it was mostly blurry and nearly hurt my eyes!

If you want to go see a decent Christmas film, I suggest Harold and Kumar's 3D Christmas or better yet, catch Polar Express at the IMAX or something. This is a rather tame film, hanging off between average and below average, and it's best be a present left in its wrapping paper. I don't know where all these good reviews are coming from, but they steered this sleigh in the wrong direction!

The Artist Movie Story Line:- The Artist is a romantic French film by director Michel Hazanavicius, in which this extraordinary filmmaker treads on new grounds, creating a cinematic masterpiece. The film tells a story about the fading of silent movies. Interestingly, this movie is itself, a black-and-white silent film. Jean Dujardin, who won the best actor award for the film, at the Cannes Film Festival, 2011, excels in his portrayal of George Valentin, a famous silent actor in the film, who is gradually losing his spotlight, with the emergence of talking movies. Just when he seems to have reached a hopeless dead-end in his career, his paths cross with Peppy Miller, a beautiful aspiring actress (played by the director’s off-screen wife), who is beginning the journey that he is about to complete. They strike an unlikely romance, which they are both aware, has no hope of lasting long. The emotions of these two lovers are captured in a deeply moving manner, with the medium of music and the occasional inter-titles being the only link between what we can see and what they are going through. The movie might have been a risky undertaking by Hazanavicius, but it definitely proves to be worth it, as it offers us a refreshing bite of cinema, which is like nothing we’ve ever tasted before. You can watch The Artist online to be a part of this brilliant form of art, which might have been forgotten forever, had it not been for this commendable effort by the French filmmaker.

The Artist Movie Review:- The Artist had quite the reputation going for it before it debuted at the Cinema Arts Festival in Houston, Texas. Early reviews were already very positive and many Houston critics were talking about how much they were anticipating getting the chance to see it. I purposely went in blind and only found out just moments before I entered the theater that it was a silent film and was not only shot in but would be presented in the now practically ancient 1.33:1 aspect ratio. A black and white silent feature film made in modern times; what's not to like about that? Truth be told, nothing can really prepare you for how extraordinary The Artist really is.

George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is the king of silent movies in Hollywood in 1927. Audiences just adore everything George is a part of. Along comes Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo) who you just know is going to be a huge star some day. George and Peppy work together on one film as George not only takes her under his wing, but an undeniable spark develops between the two. Over the course of the next few years, silent movies fade into obscurity as talking pictures or "talkies" explode onto the scene. George finds himself struggling for not only work, but a purpose to live as Peppy becomes the next big thing overnight.

The Artist is funny and charming right out the gate. Jean Dujardin really plays to the crowd and appears to love nothing more than catering to the people who come to see his films. George's dog Jack might be the biggest form of comic relief in the film. The way he plays dead and covers his head with his paws are always both presented in a way that is fresh and laugh out loud funny each and every time they're utilized. Once Bérénice Bejo enters the picture, the film begins to evolve into a type of romance. It's odd though because to my recollection George and Peppy never kiss. Peppy seems to steal the spotlight in the same way George does as soon as you see her dance for the first time. The laughs are there, the charms are there, The Artist has a firm grip on your heart and your attention and never really lets go.

The film eventually begins to get a bit darker though as silent movies wither away and talking pictures take their spot. George's downward spiral is really fantastic to watch. It's mostly due to not only Dujardin's superb performance, but also the way many of these scenes are filmed. There's a scene where George is sitting down at a mirror table drinking whiskey. You see nothing but George, his reflection, and the alcohol. He pours the booze on the tabletop as the look of disgust becomes more chiseled on his brow. That scene is so beyond amazing. The brilliant music used in the film also just captures the time period perfectly. There's also this dream that George has right before he's let go from his contract where he can't speak, but everything around him has sound. That sequence is really spectacular, as well.

The Artist can get a little dark at times, but for the most part is extremely lighthearted and feel-good at its core. Never have I wanted a movie to end on a happy note so badly in my life. Through the highs and the lows of George Valentin and the depressing outcome of his career along with the heartwarming sensation you get from nearly everything in between, the entire experience just feels so real; so genuine. The Artist is just pure perfection, a masterpiece, and an instant classic.

The Muppets Movie Story Line:- When oil baron Tex Richman sniffs out the presence of a massive crude resource right under the worn-out Muppet Theater in Los Angeles, his wicked mind hatches a plan to dismantle the studio. But fortunately, Walter, one of the die-hard admirers of Muppets gets to know the evil intentions of Tex. Cometh the hour, cometh the man! He along with his friends, Mary and Gary, decide to stop the oil tycoon from destroying the old studio. But in order to do, they need to pay Tex a large amount of money. The only possible way out is a grand fundraising event, and what could be bigger than a Muppet Telethon? Walter and his gang approach Kermit the Frog to convince all the Muppets to reunite for the telethon. But the job to bring back the Muppets is not easy, as most of them live on their own and hardly see each other. While Fozzie is content with his association with the Moopets; Animal is dealing with anger management. Similarly, Miss Piggy and Gonzo are also preoccupied. Now it’s up to Walter, Kermit, Mary and Gary to make the Muppets understand the importance of the event. Will they be able to do it? Will the Muppets reunite to save the day? Watch The Muppets online to know it all, as you enjoy this fun-filled musical extravaganza.

The Muppets Movie Review:- The Muppets is essentially flawless. I know this is a weird way to start a review, but I feel I should just forego formalities and cut to the chase. This year has been a fairly disappointing year for movies, but The Muppets just about makes up for it all by itself. It's an absolutely life-affirming tribute to beloved characters and memories that should have never been allowed to fade into obscurity, and if you care at all about movies you need to see this, as soon as possible.

Jason Segel, along with co-writer Nicholas Stoller and director James Bobin have made a film that is just absolutely bursting at the seams with affection towards the Muppets, and that love and passion has instantly rocketed this movie to the very top of the list when it comes to long history of Muppet shows, movies, and even viral videos. The film is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time and accomplishes this without being crass or cynical; it's smart, witty, and most importantly, completely heartfelt. Jason Segel with his obvious and undying love for the Muppets is, by all accounts, the most deserving person to be given creative control of the Muppets since Jim Henson himself.

The original Muppet Movie will always be a timeless classic, and it's charm and legacy will likely never be topped by another Muppet movie. However, The Muppets is the closest it has ever come, and, due to the timeliness and poignancy of the story, I would argue that right at this moment it is more relevant and moving than even the 1979 classic. I was unable to stop smiling during the entire running time of the movie, even while tears were coming to my eyes.

I know I'm not really reviewing the movie right now, and I'm more just beaming about how much I loved it, but really, I feel it would be a disservice to go into details about this movie. Simply put, you need to see it, and if you don't you're robbing yourself of a truly extraordinary film experience. This is the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational movie of the year. Go see it. Right now. I mean it, go buy tickets for this weekend, and you can thank me later.

Hugo Movie Story Line:- Life has a strange way of pulling us down to rock bottom levels, only to shove us up high once again, once we gain an appreciation of the value of being at the top. Something similar happens to the lead character, Hugo, in the film by the same name, as he goes from being a scantily clad, homeless young boy, to the keeper of one of history’s greatest secrets. Shot in 3D, the film is a deeply moving account of the world of cinema, which is not just intensely captivating, but also immensely informative. How a young boy, cinematic archives, and a world packed with fantasy, are brilliantly merged into a single plot, is something that you’ll have to find out for yourself as you watch Hugo online. Director Martin Scorsese does a brilliant job at adapting the novel, ‘The Adaptation of Hugo Cabret’, on which the movie is based. Child actor Asa Butterfield does a great job at portraying the role of Hugo, emerging as a believable character, who tugs at our heartstrings. It is beautiful to watch him gladly accepting his life as a clock watcher at a London railway station, and accepting his role as the holder of a massive secret that he accidentally stumbles upon, with equal grace. We watch him befriending a young girl with an eccentric personality, and a rude, yet helpful man, along the journey. By the end of the movie, Hugo ends up becoming a name that you will never want to forget.

Hugo Movie Review:- What Martin Scorcese has managed to do is add story dimensionality to a family film that has 3D technology. Some of the dimensions he's included which don't always make into Hollywood blockbusters are an imaginative and original concept, thematic unity and resonance and deft homage to film itself, in the story of Georges Méliès, French film pioneer.

Saw the film in an advance screening and we were among the many there who were obviously not standard family film consumers. This being a Scorcese film is likely to bring lots of adults to Hugo and I would think many of them, like me, will feel the film stands up as entertainment for all age groups.

I especially enjoyed the resonance and intricacy of the theme of clocks, clockworks, animatronics and "the ghost in the machine"--our fear, in the post industrial age that perhaps we are just a rather complex machine, rather than a divine creation. This is all beautifully rendered cinematically. I doubt the little ones will be bewildered while older viewers can pick out levels and layers in the film.

Good fun and visually interesting throughout. The 3D is used in service of the story. I hope Hollywood is watching and notices that special effects are only special when they get the heart of the machine working, like Hugo's little man.

A Dangerous Method Movie Story Line:- Based on a book by the same name, by John Kerr, this movie tells the story of a young psychiatrist, Carl Jung, and his illicit relationship with his teenage patient, a Russian girl named Sabina Spielrein. Jung was a close associate of the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, and it is assumed that Sabina was a major reason for the feud that cropped between them, and their ultimate fallout. Sabina, a troubled young woman, is transferred from a psychiatric facility to Jung’s clinic, after she becomes ‘impossible to control’. She is suffering from a form of hysteria, in which she sinks in and out of alternate periods of depression and excitement, with physical manifestations. Jung uses his psychoanalytical principles to work on Sabina, who herself, being keenly interested in psychoanalysis, ends up being both his patient as well as his student. She is unable to talk while being looked at, which is why he sits behind her during their conversations, as she talks about her troubled childhood and her abusive father, which are the reasons behind her condition. Her sessions with Jung gradually lead to her condition improving, but she develops a sexual attraction towards him in the process. Being married with children, he strongly opposes her advances, but she is determined to vent out her intense sexual energy on him. Watch A Dangerous Method online to see what happens next, as Jung gradually begins to fall for the charm of his beautiful, young patient, and how this alters his close bond with Freud.

A Dangerous Method Movie Review:- Call them what you like - docudramas, faction, biopics - the creative vitality of films based on real-life events is usually constrained by the straitjacket of historical fact. "A Dangerous Method" is yet another example of the diluted drama common to this genre, as it relates how the collegial friendship between Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung foundered on personal and philosophical differences. Like much of Cronenberg's recent work, the film takes itself with pompous seriousness, but it's merely a highly speculative, psychoanalyst soap opera that reveals next to nothing of the two physicians' 'dangerous method'. The story begins with the arrival of a beautiful, disturbed young woman, Sabina, at Jung's clinic. Within moments the mercurially brilliant Jung has pinpointed the histrionic girl's problem - guilt over masochistic sexual fantasies engendered by her sadistic father's corporal punishments during childhood. After some trite therapy sessions, she is soon on the road to recovery - whereupon Jung encourages her to become an analyst. Sabina promptly invalidates this recommendation by initiating an affair with the married Jung - and before too long he is administering severe spankings to his former patient as a prelude to their lovemaking.

"A Dangerous Method" tries to cover too much ground, and ends up skimming the surface of the story it wishes to tell. When Jung and Freud meet up with one another, they engage in wooden discussions about their ideas which supposedly cement a deep friendship, whilst pedantically telegraphing the reasons for their subsequent estrangement. The one provocative episode in the film is Jung's brief association with Otto Gross (Vincent Cassel), whom he analyzed at his clinic. Gross turned the tables on his therapist - persuading Jung to act on his repressed desires for Sabina - before he seduced a nurse and escaped over the clinic's wall to a life of poverty and disrepute. Cassel invests Gross with such dangerous charm that one yearns to join him in his flight from Cronenberg's shallow imagination.

Mumble and his gang of friends are back and this time they are not alone, they’re joined by Mumble Jr. aka Erik. The star of the movie, Happy Feet, Mumble had won over a huge number of fans and now Mumble is back with his family and his devilishly naughty friends.

Mumble must unite all the penguin nations if they are to survive, and at the same time, save his son as well. Watch Happy Feet 2 online, as it promises to serve viewers with oodles of fun and amusement.

Happy Feet 2 Movie Review:- The first thing that stood out in the movie for me is the absolute scale of most of the shots, thousands of penguins dancing and it all feeling natural instead of it looking like a giant copy and paste operation or a cloudy and blurry wiggles all over the screen. Besides that, the penguins seamlessly transform from the penguin visuals we are accustomed to from the documentaries to the talking penguins that we expect out of these movies. Visually and technically, it's a marvel and probably worth the ticket price for it alone.

The first Happy Feet was five years ago but I remember it having a light feel to it. This new Happy Feet Two starts with foreboding ice shelves cracking from the south pole, an almost military march dance to the song "Rhythm Nation" and our new baby penguin Erik who seems unable to sing or dance. Gone are the themes of heartsongs and tap dancing, and the south pole has become a dangerous ice jungle with calamities and predators at every corner. The themes have changed from individualistic to the national, the characters from didactic to the cautionary. I think adults will enjoy the movie but I don't know how kids will feel about the dark and non-individualistic themes.

The most jarring aspect of the movie is the accents. Some have neutral American accents, some have African-American stylings, sea-elephants have British accents as well as some penguins and a different nation of penguins all have a Spanish accent. I don't know if there is a method behind these accents but I can't help but imagining an underlying social or political commentary or subtext behind the story. Or, it could just be my imagination.

Overall, it's a great movie and definitely should see it. The ticket price is worth it for the visuals alone and the nice story and great singing is just bonus value.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 Movie Review:- first of all this movie is simply for fans of the saga.others will find hard time seeing it and understanding how that vampire created that demon baby.now,you guys now all scenes from the book so here they are: wedding scene is beautifully shot,i must say Kristen looked gorgeous.Robert made a very good groom.what i hated the dance between Jacob and Bella.it was not emotional because any guy will feel for Edward. imprinting didn't looked too gross as i expected it to be but hated that part in the book so sorry i was totally creepy for me.But they tried to not make it as stupid as it is in books.other scenes are good,sometimes they make you laugh,sometimes you think what the heck i am watching.its a mixed feeling movie.Bill condor did an amazing job in the birthing scene.that scene was really cool.Robert stole the show in that scene with Kristen,they both acted so well. now comes to acting part: Kristen Stewart is her usual winning self except wedding and birthing scene.she did a fine job in those scenes,other than that she failed to give any emotions. Robert pattinson,well he is a nice actor but his character has not really much to do in these movies.he portrayed his emotions well but his character looks cut down in front of Bella and Jacob. Taylor lautner,he is your usual Jacob you saw in previous twilight,although his shirtless scenes are less which might offend his fans.average job by him. conclusion: if you are a twilight fan,you are gonna like this movie still if not love. if you are not a twilight fan,you are still gonna enjoy it but scratch your heads as well.

A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas Movie Story Line:- Put Harold and Kumar together, and you can be sure of a laughter packed extravaganza! The previous two movies from this franchise are a clear testimony to the magic that this duo creates, when they are paired together. If you missed having them around, well, it is time for you to get set to laugh your heads off, once again! The duo returns with ‘A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas’, which is sure to infuse you with joy and laughter. The movie starts with showing us how our favorite funnymen have been doing since we last saw them. Contrary to what we were expecting, we see that Harold and Kumar are on the path to being responsible family men, which, to say the least, is a bit disappointing. However, Kumar takes care of our disappointment quick enough, as he pays a visit to Harold, and staying true to his quirky nature unleashes havoc, within just a few minutes of saying hello. This happens as he mistakenly destroys the spectacular Christmas tree that Harold’s father had brought home. In an attempt to cover up the blunder, Harold and Kumar set off in New York City, hoping to find a Christmas tree that is as good, if not better than the one that has been destroyed. Watch A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas online to treat yourself to the laugh riot that is made realer than ever, in 3D!

A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas Movie Review:-This is coming from someone who never seen the first two Harold and Kumar, and didn't even know who they were until they said their names on screen. A lot of my friends bash me for not seeing a Harold and Kumar movie, but I went into this because I had friends who helped make the movie (they had a miserable experience, mind you) and it looked pretty funny. Sure enough, it was!

It didn't start out well for me, as the film was basically establishing the characters and to try to wow me with the 3D. The 3D in this film tries very hard to jump out at you, especially when Kumar is smoking weed, but sometimes I just feel it wasn't necessary. The film was good enough without it, as 3D is nothing more than a gimmick. Although I applaud the filmmakers by making the 3D worthwhile (although at times they look like cardboard cutouts), the film could hold its own without it.

The film pits Harold and Kumar at odds with each other as they lead separate lives. However, one day Kumar delivers a package to Harold, but slips and falls and the two meet up again. However, the package is a huge joint and Kumar smokes it and accidentally sets the Christmas tree on fire which would anger Harold's step dad (played by Danny Trejo, who once I saw his first appearance in this movie, it all went uphill from there). So they end up on Christmas Eve night searching for a new tree and all the misadventures that happen to them. Things like Russian mobsters, babies getting high, and end up at a Christmas show hosted by Doogie Houser (who is really funny in this movie) all pretty much adds up to hilarious hi jinks.

The movie was pretty stupid, and I may have lost a few IQ points watching it, but I did have a good time. I still think it was odd for it to come so early in November. I guess a A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Thanksgiving didn't sound quite as effective.

Tower Heist Movie Story Line:- A group of blue color workers, employed at a posh Central Park Condominium, discover that their pension funds have been embezzled by the Penthouse billionaire, Arthur Shaw. Shaw is a Wall Street titan, who has devised a perfect plan to earn big bucks, making use of the people who entrusted him the most in their lives. After this bunch of hard-working guys come to know the nasty intentions of the Financial Giant, they embark on an urgent mission to steal their retirement funds back from the thieving Man. Watch Tower Heist online, to witness the exclusive run of things, as this crew of determined guys conspire to rob Arthur’s luxurious New York city penthouse, in order to get back their life earnings. The old, wealthy businessman, Arthur is placed under house arrest in his high-rise residence, for cleaning out his investors to the tune of 2 billions dollars. Well, in the meantime, far beyond this financial scam, a manager named Josh Kovacs is living a diffident life. For being resided in the same posh tower, he comes to know about the huge Ponzi scheme of Shaw, and thus decides to help the tower staffers, who have fallen victim to the cruel intent of one of the tenants of the Trump tower-like building. Josh hires a sneaky swindler Slide to help the employees reclaim whatever the wealthy businessman has taken from them. Though the security of Arthur’s house is extremely tight, the ragtag gang succeeds in their mission of heisting the guy. With the help of Josh’s knowledge of the building and Slide’s skilful deception, will the workers succeed to get their money back? Catch up with the movie to find out.

Tower Heist Movie Review:-First and foremost, excellent all-star casting for a trivial little comedy film. I was thrilled to see Eddie Murphy back in action as well as my long time favorite Tea Leoni. When you add heavy weight starts like Alan Alda, Mathew Broderick and the one of the best actors of our time, Casey Affleck to the equation, it's the swiss watch of comedic timing. TMG has never been a big fan of Ben Stiller, but the guy makes tons of money for Hollywood producers. Charlie Sheen would have been perfect for the role. Stiller to me is the food equivalent to a great plate of liver and onions---millions swear by them but they are just not for me.

Josh Kovacs (Stiller) is the manager extraordinaire for an uber rich New York apartment building. (Think Michael J. Fox in For Love or Money back in 1993.) Arthur Shaw (Alda) is a Bernie Madoff type living in the Penthouse. Everyone entrusts their pensions and savings to Shaw until he is suddenly indicted and arrested by FBI agent Claire Denham (Leoni). Josh teams up with Charlie the desk clerk (Affleck) and the soon to be evicted Wall Street drop out Mr. Fitzhugh (Broderick) to get revenge on the unrepentant Arthur Shaw. Alda almost plays the character to the evil level of Richard Fuld of the former Lehman Brothers. (I am pretty sure Fuld is exactly what Satan himself looks and acts like---married of course to someone who looks and acts much like Nancy Pelosi....sorry TMG can never resist such temptation) The comedy is set.

Josh and his band of blundering apartment staff need serious help in learning the craft of thievery. So Josh turns to a wisecracking, street numskull named Slide (Murphy) whom he recently saw being hauled off to jail. Murphy is pretty much in his reprise role of Billy Ray Valentine from Trading Places (1983). This is fine because TMG never got enough of Billy Ray and though it has been twenty eight years, Murphy still looks and acts the part. The rest is just pure fun. Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson could only have played the role better but both were busy these past few months campaigning for Herman Caine for President.

Is this the greatest comedy of the year? No. That title yet belongs to Bridesmaids. But go see Tower Heist tonight. You will laugh and enjoy the heist!

J. Edgar Movie Story Line:- J. Edgar is upcoming American biological drama having Leonardo Di Caprio as protagonist. Very carefully written by Dustin Lance Black, the story of this movie revolves around the life and career of director and creator of FBI J. Edward Hoover played by Leo. All incidents penned down by this Oscar winning writer are so finely arranged and studded in this flick that you don’t even want to wink your eyes. This movie reveals the homo sexual relations of Hoover with his mate Clyde Tolson played by Armie Hammer. You will witness some shadowy shots of Leonardo in middle-aged makeup. Funded by Clint Eastwood, Brian Grazer and Robert Lorenz, the distribution of this flick is in the hands of Warner Bros. Naomi Watts is playing the role of Helen Gandy, the loyal secretary of Hoover who shares every thing with her. It is set to be released in United States on November 9, 2011. Download J. Edgar from our portal and experience the ultimate joy of movie watching.

J. Edgar Movie Review:-For a man who was the backbone of the United States for nearly five decades, one would think Clint Eastwood and Leo could've turned out a better movie than this. I went to a showing tonight and there were less than 10 people in the audience, that should've been a sign.

The style in which the movie is told is very similar to the 1959 Jimmy Stewart classic, "The FBI Story", which backtracks history of the FBI from its early days and reviews its key early triumphs. There's also biographical accounts of Hoover's life, but nothing major we didn't already know, as in his likely homosexuality, his grudge against RFK, and tapes of scandalous material on JFK and MLK. The whole time I kept wondering to myself, what's this movie about and where's the story?

The make-up on Leo and his sidekick, "Clyde", was also ridiculous when theyhad to make them look older, it reminded me of the first Jacka$$ movie when Johnny Knoxville did the old man shoplifting sketch. Perhaps they would've been better off casting a legitimite aged person to play the older Hoover. Although in brief scenes, Bob Hopkins portrayal as Hoover in "Nixon" and Ernest Borgnine's version in "Blood Feud" left a better impact than the two hours Leo had to work with.

Without a real central story holding this together, with Leo not fooling anyone in his old man costume, and the fact we learn nothing substantial about Hoover we didn't hear about before, this movie is a real dud. Even if his more fictionalized and outdated, one would be more satisfied with the Jimmy Sterwart 1959 story about the FBI than this.

Jack and Jill Movie Story Line:- A film from the genre of comedy, Jack and Jill trails the saga of one of the twin siblings, Jack. Jack is a lovable family man, who enjoys his family life, which revolves around his gorgeous wife and charming kids. Working as a thriving executive in an advertising firm in Los Angeles, Jack’s life seems to be going quite smoothly. Guests are usually always welcomed and treated well, because it’s just a once in a blue-moon that they land on your doorsteps and bring a little change to your schedule. A day’s stay is okay, two-day stay is also fine, but how about a stay for an uncertain period? Then, it becomes a matter of concern for the people of the house. Jack falls in the same bracket of circumstances, and here this uninvited guest is none other than his own reflection, his twin sister, Jill. There comes a thanksgiving and Jack begins to tremble. With circumstances forcing him to deal with his deprived and aggressive sister, Jack’s smooth going life gets off-track. Jill’s behavior is infuriating to Jack, yet he can’t stop what is happening. It would be fun to witness on your own, the maddening atmosphere at Jack’s house, and get indulged in the boisterous laughter attacks. The amalgamation of stressed and hilarious events happening at Jack’s domicile, makes this movie a great watch. Don’t control your yearning for a humor treat for your eyes and watch Jack and Jill online. The movie surely will put forth what it takes to be a cordial host, even when your patience is put through a stern test!

Jack and Jill Movie Review:-The standard that Adam Sandler movies has set is pretty low, but even with such low expectations going to the movie, the movie still felt terrible. The gag is twins and ignoring that healthy identical twins with different genders is impossible, we get to see Adam Sandler dress up as a woman. And, we get to see Adam Sandler dress up as a woman a lot, ridiculously lot and so much so, that Jack Adam Sandler and the rest of the cast are just supporting actors to the almighty squawking of Jill Adam Sandler.

We could say this is just Adam Sandler up to his usual antics but Jill Adam Sandler hogs up the screen time and nothing about her really makes any sort of logical sense. There is Al Pacino as himself who falls for Jill, a possibility that the writers explain away as madness or nervous breakdown of Al Pacino. Then, there is Jill who is loved by the kids and Jack's wife Erin (played by Katie Holmes) for reasons that Jill doesn't portray on screen and we are never shown, all we are shown is the mean and manipulative Jill. The Jill that Adam Sandler portrays is his own immature rendition of a woman, filled with toilet humor and displays of uncharacteristic skills and strength as positive attributes. Jill is portrayed uninteresting and vacuous though written differently, and that being the center of the movie makes the movie uninteresting and tiresome.

The movie would have been an acceptable Sandler movie if Jill had been played by a woman who could actually portray a big heart. The previous Sandler movies were enjoyable movies, but Jack and Jill is a real stinker, barely watchable. The only thing I found interesting was the background opulence of everyone around, thrown around so casually that it really feels like the big guys involved in the movie have severely lost touch with their audience and given way to sloth where they think anything they do is magical. Avoid the movie.

Movie Name:- The Descendants

Release Date:- 18 November 2011

Directed By:- Alexander Payne

Category / Genres:- Comedy, Drama

IMDB Rating:- 8.0

Run Time:- 115 Minutes

Star Cast:- George Clooney, Shailene Woodley, Amara Miller, Nick Krause, Patricia Hastiem, Grace A. Cruz, Kim Gennaula, Karen Kuioka Hironaga, Carmen Kaichi, Kaui Hart Hemmings, Beau Bridges, Matt Corboy, Matt Esecson, Michael Ontkean, Stanton Johnston,





The Descendants Movie Story Line:-The Descendants is another movie brought to you by Alexander Payne, the creator of Oscar award winning ‘Sideways.’ This dramedy is inspired by the novel written by Kaui Hart Hemmings. The flick depicts the tragic journey of Matt King (George Clooney), who is an apathetic husband and father of two young girls. The life journey of Matt has been portrayed with the emotional tinge, which helps the film to connect with the audience. The easy going Matt is forced to put a pause on his way of living and to give his life a new direction, when he is struck with a tragedy, which changes his life. The changing point is witnessed by Matt when his wife meets a boating accident and slips into coma. This disaster makes him reconnect to his daughters. Soon he grapples with the fact that his wife was betraying him. She was going around with another guy prior to her accident. The discovery of the extra-marital affair leaves Matt in a state of shock. Now, he makes up his mind to sell his family land. He gets engulfed by the thoughts of wife’s betrayal, about getting back to his daughters and at the same time of selling the property, which he inherited from the Hawaiian Royal family and missionaries. Watch The Descendants online to witness how a single experience completely changes a man’s outlook towards life.

The Descendants Movie Review:-The Descendants is not a movie that's easily defined. In the macro view, it's about a man grieving for his wife, who lies in a coma from which she may never emerge, while simultaneously attempting to care for his two rambunctious daughters, each of whom is nearly alien to the workaholic man. But don't hastily dismiss this as a tearjerker about some guy coming to grips with mortality and/or learning a little something about himself along the way. This is a movie that runs the gamut of emotions, with pristine sincerity, grace, dignity, and rich realism.

Matt King (George Clooney) is the workaholic, a lawyer who lives in Hawaii. He has a good life - at least until his thrill-seeking wife suffers a serious head injury during a powerboat race, placing her in a deep coma. Matt's orderly life is no more. He must not only deal with the fact that he may never speak with his wife again, he must also learn an entirely new way of life - one with a domestic tinge. As wife Elizabeth's condition deteriorates, Matt must also deal with family and friends and open doors he never knew existed. All right, that's sort of cryptic, so let me give you this tidbit that is in no way a secret in the plot - Elizabeth, Matt shortly discovers, was having an affair at the time of her accident.

On top of all of that stress and drama, Matt is the sole trustee of a huge plot of land that has been a part of his family for a very, very long time. He and his cousins have decided to field offers for the land, because the trust becomes dissolved in seven short years. Should they sell to the highest bidder or to a local businessman? Either outcome would leave all of them very rich indeed. The sale of the land will make a huge impact on the island, as it could transform what many see as a beautiful, nearly untouched mark of beauty into a symbol of avarice and decadence.

The core of the entire story is Clooney's unbelievably terrific performance; he is vulnerable, strong, confused, decisive, anguished, angry. It's not every actor who can pull off such a wide range of expression, and Clooney is so effective in this movie that you sincerely feel as if you are standing directly in his shoes, seeing all from his perspective rather than just through his eyes. To say that Clooney's Matt is troubled is an understatement, but what makes this performance so remarkable to me is that at no time does he have all of the answers, and at no time does he have no answers at all. He is, to put it another way, us.

The tremendous amount of pressure under which Matt finds himself is exacerbated by his daughters' behavior; partly their reaction to their mother's plight but also because, well, they're precocious and self- absorbed, as most kids are when they're teens or preteens. Add in Matt's cluelessness about how to take care of girls; then you have a real recipe for a wacky sitcom, don't you? Only here it's as real as it gets. First there's 10 year old Scotti (newcomer Amara Miller), who acts out in class - including bringing in pictures of her comatose mother for show and tell. Scotti seems like a girl who just hasn't had enough of a male influence in her short life; you get the impression that Mom was the one who took care of the kids while Dad worked and worked. As a result, Scotti is combining typical rebellious behavior with confusion on how she should feel about her mother's being in a coma. Then there's Alexandra, currently away at boarding school; for her, you get the clear impression that she's a real problem child who's used to being shunted from school to school, like a queen of diamonds in a marked-up deck. She's away when the accident occurs; Matt retrieves her (discovering she's as wild as always) and necessarily leans on her to help him deal with his various problems.

Rest assured, there are moments that will jerk tears from you. However, director Alexander Payne does an amazing job of keeping everything level. This isn't a four-hankie movie, because life isn't a four-hankie movie. Life has its terrible moments and its joyous ones, too, and this film emulates that layer of authenticity to really deliver an emotionally powerful, provocative, and endearing story.

This isn't a movie you can just grab the kids and some popcorn and be lightly entertained, but it's also not a Think Hard movie. It's somewhere in the middle - again, much like life. Payne and cowriters Nat Faxon and Jim Rash allow us to become psychologically engaged with everything concerning Matt and his family. We're with him so much that when he makes a blunder, we think to ourselves that we'd probably make the same blunder. It's a pleasure to see a movie in which the protagonist clearly doesn't have all of the answers, even to the easy questions, but has some answers to the hard ones. And that's why this is a hard movie to pigeonhole, and it's also why it's such a beautiful, artful film.

Melancholia Movie Story Line:-Two sisters try to cling on to their relationship more than ever before, in the wake of an imminent catastrophe befalling planet Earth. Some sort of inexplicable gap is creeping in between the siblings, Justine and Claire. Watch Melancholia online to behold the fate of these two girls who are not able to patch up their relationship that seems to have gone awry with time. Meanwhile, Justine marries Michael; instead of enjoying the marital bliss, Justine’s mind is inflicted with a kind of moroseness that seems to prick her constantly. The film showcases the human mind in a state of helter-skelter, looking for a way out, to remove all ego-hassles and reach out to near and dear ones in the wake of a disaster that could destroy the planet at any moment. Is Justine able to find solution to get rid of her melancholic state of mind? On the other hand, Claire is more insecure than ever before, as death lurking somewhere near causes her to feel the pangs of anxiety. Perhaps, it’s the trick devised by nature that aims to bring the two sisters close together, a machination to overcome stumbling blocks of one’s mind.

Melancholia Movie Review:-The movie shines visually at certain points. To be specific it shines first five minutes and then the last say 20 seconds.

The rest of the movie is just cruel, sadistic and never ending torture by boredom. First and foremost, the lead character is not "melancholic". She is seriously depressed, I mean chemotherapy to electro-convulsive therapy class depressed. It is seriously not fun to watch her being depressed. It made me feel very depressed as well and this was just the beginning.

The family seems to be broken, but in a very boring way. Nothing much happens here except for people running away (I wish I did the same thing after opening scene, but I was hoping for at least some pretty pictures later on). Then nothing happens, then nothing happens, then nothing happens, then the sister suddenly understands the World is going to end, so she freaks a little, runs around a little, then all three remaining heroes decide to sit at their asses and to wait for collision.

Yes, there are some pretty pictures of the castle where the boring people live, but seriously I would rather watch another Miss Marple murder case. These movies are silly but at least something happens! Seriously I never expected to see another Armageddon or something like that but this bottle is completely empty. There are not even questions, it just frustrating wait for the end of the World so the movie may end as well.

I'm so so disappointed. If you were attracted by the trailer, you may go home now. There is nothing more interesting to see here. The trailer is misleading, it is pretty poster consisting of all the action in the movie. The rest is just cold, empty, freezing hell of boredom disguised as a art. Even the worst Lynch movies are at least an order of magnitude better than this!

Immortals Movie Story Line:-Immortals is the story of a boy named Theseus, who aims to become the saviour of mankind at the time when a Greek ruler, King Hyperion, goes insane, killing people in large numbers. The ruler aspires to take over the world by acquiring a weapon named Bow of Epirus, which, according to the story, would empower him to bring down the Gods of Olympus and emerge as the ruler of the world. Theseus is an ordinary guy who has no intentions to fight the king and his devastating army until the army becomes the cause of his mother’s demise. The king’s army, during one of its missions, kills all the people of Theseus’ village, including Theseus’ mother. The guy burns in the fire of fury in order to seek revenge for the death of his mother. On his mission to destroy the king and his army, he is joined by Phaedra, who is completely confident of Theseus’ victory over the king. Since the king’s intentions are not in the welfare of mankind, the world at large now relies on Theseus to decide its fate. Immortals is a hard-core action movie, which follows an extremely interesting storyline and is packed with mesmerizing elements of drama. The movie also shows Theseus being backed by the Gods, a fact which makes that otherwise normal villager exceptionally powerful.

Immortals Movie Review:-This film is real masterpiece of neorealism. The most exciting film I've ever seen. Minutious in every detail. Shows how tense and frustrating is the life of common man. How actually common people aren't but a livestock of the rich.

The metaphor with Immortality is it hits the point. I will always remember picture of child walking barefoot on muddy road. Some are born with power to castigate. Some are born without chance to change anything.

This two hour movie about the lives of a ragtag group of demigods in Northern Italy in the late 1th Century is probably a masterpiece, but is also one of the most conservative movies I have ever seen. Made with a cast of amateur actors, it's a brilliant movie alright, but Singh's social conservatism is very hard to swallow. In a way, his position seems even more backward than the Catholic Church: while today's Church gives at least some lip service to the idea of redistribution of wealth, Singh's ideology might be best described as favoring the medieval concept of social immobility: peasants will always be peasants, the Church will look after them as long as they remain faithful to it, but they should never rise against their masters. The landlord is a horrible person (expelling a peasant from his property for felling a tree in order to make the Epirus Bow, a weapon of unimaginable power forged in the heavens by Ares.) but amazingly this never seems to cross the mind of the peasants, who accept their destiny stoically. Another thing I didn't like: the movie features two scenes where animals are slaughtered (apparently for real, and graphically). Without being an extreme supporter of animal rights, I don't think this was necessary. I believe that no piece of art is worth killing an animal.

Yeah, if it did not contain real killing of animals it would be my greatest film of all the times. Thus I give just two points to it. I'd rather give it ten points but I simply cannot.
