Precocious 12-year-old Simon lives with his wild and irresponsible older sister in a small apartment below a luxurious ski resort nestled in the Swiss Alps. Each day, Simon ascends the lofty mountain above, pilfering ski equipment from the rich and selling it to get by. Left unsupervised, his newfound criminal enterprise and growing attachment to the seasonal workers and guests sends his precarious relationship with his sister spiraling out of control.
A stunning meditation on secrets, lies and moral obligation, Ursula Meier’s compassionate character study of a boy forced to grow up too fast is a movie for the ages. the surface over the 97 minute running time and they are the kind of secret hopes and desires that could – and probably do – change both character lives forever. Simon lives in the valley with his flighty, immature elder sister (Léa Seydoux), struggling to make ends meet. But in the winter he becomes a mountain kid and, disguised as a youthful ski bum, steals whatever comes to hand. All the life responsibilities are on him and a whole society ignores him so this is part of our reality that we should not ignore and this movie deserves two thumbs up!

From his new book, Total Recall, the former California governor wrote about an affair with his one-time co-star Brigitte Nielsen that happened back in the 1980’s. His new autobiography out, the aptly titled Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story, Schwarzenegger opened up about his scandalous personal life and his biggest secret: refusing to take responsibility for his 1996 betrayal when he cheated on Maria with the family maid, Mildred Baena, who bore his son, Joseph. Arnold said: “The stupidest thing I’ve done in the whole relationship.”

Terminator Salvation will be set in London. The original post gives little more detail on the matter, except that it will be ‘present day’ (2011) so all the cast figured out time travel to the degree where they can send more than one naked entity. So you’re going to have hunter killers and transports and harvesters and everything arriving in our time and Connor fighting back with conventional military warfare.

Lawrence was so nervous about how she’d sound in her lip-synced through a musical scene in upcoming movie House At The End Of The Street because she feared her singing voice was not good enough. The Hunger Games star plays a young singer named Elissa Cassidy in the new horror film, and the script calls for her character to play the guitar and croon.

Your words will fly in “The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate”

As one of the defining stories of the wuxia genre, the saga of the Dragon Gate Inn has already been the source material for two classic martial arts films. Now legendary writer/director/producer Tsui Hark revisits these legends in THE FLYING SWORDS OF DRAGON GATE bringing new characters and ancient conflicts to life through the vivid depth of 3D and the epic scale of the IMAX image.
The film picks up three years after the disappearance of the enigmatic innkeeper Jade and the massive fire that consumed the Inn. A new Dragon Inn has risen from the ashes, staffed by a band of marauders. Masquerading as law-abiding citizens by day, they use the cover of night to continue their true calling as fortune hunters. For legend says that the Dragon Inn is the site of a lost city buried in the desert – and a treasure that spans dynasties hidden deep within.
As they await a storm strong enough to unearth the hidden fortress, they are surprised by the arrival of a pregnant concubine and her mysterious protector, Ling. They have come seeking the sanctuary of the Inn – as two factions from the Imperial City close in on them to claim her unborn child.
Leading the Imperial Assassins is the merciless Eunuch, Yu who hopes to reclaim the Emperor’s child before she can fall into the hands of the righteous General Zhao.
In terms of visual spectacle, Tsui Hark is definitely at the top of his game, both the action choreography and the initiation of 3D into the ‘wuxia’ genre easily establishing itself as one of the must-see classics. All the choreographs are with a exuberant dance between breakneck, 90s-style high-wire action and weapons (especially flying logs) that strike with a graphic impact never seen in 2D films. The ensuing development should consolidate the physical momentum of the first part by easing off the pace to flesh out main characters and intensify the strategic standoff between Yu’s and Zhao’s followers. Sets and costumes are loudly exotic but very colorful so you can enjoy this movie in Theaters August 31, 2012.
Enrique Iglesias and JLove were in a concert with great Euphoria and Glamour

Enrique Iglesias and Jennifer Lopez were together at Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA in an amazing concert!
Enrique Iglesias surprised his fans (mostly women) with hits such as “Be with You”, “Dirty Dancer”, “I like it”, “Rhythm Divine”, “Tonight” among other hits. He also was singing the most successful cover “Stand by Me” with one of his fans who went up to the stage making his participation the most original and entertaining. However, the only criticism of his performance was the lack of Spanish songs because, although the concert is in the United States, there also were Hispanic fans and Enrique did not sing any of his most successful songs in Spanish that many of his followers expected. On the other hand, women were well represented by Jennifer Lopez or JLove with a Broadway-style presentation, full of energetic dancers including her boyfriend Casper Smart, who definitely showed his dancing skills alongside JLo in “Dance Again.”
In the middle of her concert, there was a video which had several photographs and videos of her children, singing very emotional, “Until It Beats No More.” This song was full of emotions due JLo showed her maternal side and shared to the public.
Lopez made several costume changes, and made a major review of her discography, which was from his first album with “If you have my love” to recent hits like “On the floor” and “Follow the Leader”, the latter successful song, made with Wisin & Yandel, a couple of leaders of reggaeton, a music style created in Puerto Rico.
The Awakening
Redaction: Galatview

Set in London in 1921, Florence Cathcart (Rebecca Hall), author of the popular book “Seeing Through Ghosts,” has devoted her career to exposing claims of the supernatural as nothing but hoaxes. Haunted by the recent death of her fiancé, she is approached by Robert Mallory (Dominic West) to investigate the recent death of a student at the all-boys boarding school where he teaches. When students at the school report sightings of the young boy’s ghost, she decides to take on the case.
There are some nicely creepy moments, full of intriguing dead ends and plausible accounts. there were some very well done spine tingling moments and scares but then the plot became rather silly and lacking in credibility and the acting was good throughout.
The Awakening’s greatest strength is that it centres on an extremely confident female character, who seems remarkably liberated and independent for the time. Music makes you to be afraid of many facts during the development story, the old graveyard and ruined church used for the story’s setting and the feeling of doomed young love is pretty much a winner whatever way you look at it. Elena is really great!
