Everyone has a different story, and each story is just as interesting as the other.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Movie Story Line:- Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a spy movie in which it is suspected that there can be a mole inside the Circus. Ricki Tarr, the British agent, makes Oliver Lacon aware about this and enrolls two agents for the investigation of the matter. Peter Guillam and George Smiley are the agents employed for the task and they must analyze everything keeping in mind that the Circus leadership should not get to know about it. This is done because anyone among them can be a mole. George Smiley believes that Communist Czechoslovakia’s mission, which is termed as Operation Testify, met its end all because of the mole. It was known that Operation Testify was started because of Czech Army general’s kidnapping. However, later, it is revealed by Circus agent Jim Prideaux that the aim of the operation was to become acquainted with the identity of the mole. After all the investigations and the hard-work of the investigators, a former friend comes out to be a mole. He was a cherished worker, but the sudden revelation of his identity places everyone in a state of shock. Bill Haydon comes out to be the mole. He is the one who once had an affair with Smiley’s now separated wife. After the success of Smiley in knowing about the mole, he is chosen as the Circus’ temporary head. The suspense of the movie is very well wrapped in the layers of drama. One must watch Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy online in order to grab this entertaining movie in no time.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Movie Review:- In most cases a movie can condense the subject matter of a novel or story it is based off of. Such was the case in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. However, in this instance it should be said that this movie could have gone on for another 30 minutes or an hour and that would have been perfectly acceptable.

The film could be described as a analysis of the psyche yet a better way to describe it would be to say that it is an action film with no discernible action. The drama is there but your on the edge of your seat because it's your brain versus George Smiley's - wonderfully portrayed by Gary Oldman - and that's a battle you can't help but lose. Although it should be said that if one doesn't figure out who the mole is before he is relieved you're not paying enough attention to the film. The pieces are placed before you and explained but it's up to the audience to put the puzzle together.

The casting done by Jina Jay was wonderfully done. The roles were fitted snugly and were great representation of the characters created by John le Carre. As mentioned Oldman portrays a great George Smiley, and Colin Firth as the likable Bill Haydon. John Hurt, though a small role, showed Control as a character you couldn't help respect even if you didn't like him. But perhaps the character that deserves the most credit was Peter Guillam played by Benedict Cumberbatch. A relative unknown when compared to the rest of the cast, Cumberbatch was able to balance the youth of the character with the responsibilities thrust upon him by the likes of Smiley.

It's no wonder this movie is getting rave reviews but note that if you truly want to get an understanding of these characters it's certainly not too late - even after seeing the film - to pick up a copy of le Carre's novel and find out just who is Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Poorman, and Beggarman.

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!

OR

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.

Step aside and make way for the nimble-footed dancer, one of the most graceful creatures ever to step on the icy cold landscape of Antarctica – Mumble, the Penguin. 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. One has to wonder, now that Mumble has a family what will he be doing. And is his son, Erik, as good a dancer as his father? Happy Feet 2 will answer all these questions as we will see Mumble trying to teach his son how to dance, and dance well. Unfortunately for Mumble, his son is least interested in learning how to dance. Things take a turn for worse when Erik runs into a penguin everyone knows as The Mighty Sven; the special thing about Mighty Sven is that he is the only penguin that can fly. After meeting him, Erik completely loses interest in dance, as he wants to follow Sven. And that’s not all, not by a long shot. Mumble’s world is turned upside down when their habitat is threatened by some mysterious and powerful forces. 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.
