Movie:I am number four

I Am Number Four

In the beginning they were a group of nine. Nine aliens who left their home planet of Lorien when it fell under attack by the evil Mogadorian. Nine aliens who scattered on Earth. Nine aliens who look like ordinary teenagers living ordinary lives, but who have extraordinary, paranormal skills. Nine aliens who might be sitting next to you now.

The Nine had to sepBrief: In the beginning they were a group of nine. Nine aliens who left their home planet of Lorien when it fell under attack by the evil Mogadorian. Nine aliens who scattered on Earth. Nine aliens who look like ordinary teenagers living ordinary lives, but who have extraordinary, paranormal skills.
The Nine had to separate and go into hiding. The Mogadorian caught Number One in Malaysia, Number Two in England, and Number Three in Kenya. All of them were killed. John Smith, of Paradise, Ohio, is Number Four. He knows that he is next.  
 

Full Story: John Smith (Alex Pettyfer) is an alien from planet Lorien who was sent to Earth as a child alongside eight others to escape an invading race, the Mogadorians, which destroyed their home planet. He is protected by a Guardian, Henri (Timothy Olyphant), and has developed superpowers due to his extraterrestrial nature, such as enhanced strength, speed and agility, telekinesis, resistance to fire and heat and the power to generate light from his hands.

The Mogadorians, led by the Commander (Kevin Durand) eventually discover about the nine toddlers and come to Earth in search of them. They can only be killed in a particular sequence, with three of them having already been slain. John is Number Four. Knowing this, he and Henri move from Florida to Paradise, Ohio, where John befriends conspiracy theorist Sam Goode (Callan McAuliffe); and falls in love with amateur photographer Sara Hart (Dianna Agron), whose ex-boyfriend, school athlete Mark James (Jake Abel) is a bully who often torments both John and Sam.

During the spring carnival, Mark and his friends capture John and Sara, whom they believe are in a relationship, and drag them to a cave, where they attempt to beat John up. However, he uses his powers to fend them off and rescue Sara. Sam witnesses the events and John tells him his true origin. Shortly thereafter, Mark’s father, the local sheriff, interrogates Henri on John’s whereabouts when his son and his friends were attacked, and notices that he has a high-tech surveillance system.

 

A Chimera in the shape of lizard follows Henri from Florida to Paradise and then shapeshift's in to the DOG's.Henri tells John that too many people are suspicious of them, in addition to John’s random displays of power, caused by his difficulty in controlling them, and that they must leave. However, John tells him he can’t because he’s in love with Sara. When a Lorian falls in love, it only happens once, and the two lovers become connected forever.

The Mogadorians start searching for John as well as another Lorian, Number Six (Teresa Palmer), who decided to go after the Mogadorians instead of running away from them after her Guardian was murdered. The Magodorians eventually locate John and manipulate two conspiracy theorists into capturing Henri. When John and Sam go to rescue him, they are attacked, but manage to fend them off. However, Henri is mortally wounded and dies after John and Sam escape with some Lorian artifacts, including a blue rock that acts as a tracking device to locate other Loriens. Sam’s father, a conspiracy theorist who disappeared while hunting aliens in Mexico, has another. While Sam searches for it, John tries to say goodbye to Sara at a party, only to discover that the Mogadorians have framed him and Henri for the murders of the conspiracy theorists, who were actually killed by the Commander, as well as being terrorists due to the their cutting-edge technology. Mark sees John and calls his father, who corners John and Sara. He saves her from a fall, revealing his powers in the process, and they escape to their school.

Meanwhile, The Commander also arrives at Paradise, blocking the exits with trucks. He is confronted by Mark and his father, and, after injuring the latter, he forces the former to show him where John is hiding, Mark then takes him to the school, which he knows is Sara’s hideout.
  
There, John, Sara and Sam are attacked by the Commander and his soldiers, who have brought two giant monsters to hunt the trio. They are saved by Number Six and Chimera (in dog's shape) sent by John’s parents to protect him. John and Number Six, who can teleport, block energy-based attacks, and the same basic abilities as John, fight the Mogadorians. They eventually defeat them all, including the Commander, whose energy grenades are overheated by John and explode, destroying his body.

On the following day, John, Number Six, Sam and the Chimera unite their blue rocks and discover the location of the other four surviving Lorians. They set to find them and rally them together to protect Earth from the Mogadorians, leaving Sara and a repentant Mark, who has redeemed himself by lying to his father about John’s whereabouts and returning John a box belonging to his father, that they’ll return one day to be with them.

Body Gestures

Some Body Gestures and Their Meanings
Body gestures say a lot about a person - whether they look up or scratch their nose, or even tilt their head.
Now, body language expert Peter Collett, author of the 'Book Of Tells' talks about the different gestures people make and what they mean.
SCRATCHING NOSE: When you're not telling the truth, you instinctively want to cover up the source of the lie - your mouth - so no one can see you're fibbing. But because that's too obvious, people disguise it by scratching their nose.
LOOKING UP: if you look up you're seeking help from above. People with a sense of self-importance also do it, suggesting they're in contact with the Almighty, reports the Daily Mail.
BLINKING: It's a sign someone's worried, excited or even lying as they're under stress and thinking very rapidly.
LIP NIBBLING: Lip nibbling, whether biting the lower lip or a corner of the mouth with the upper teeth, prevents someone from speaking, so it's used by people who want to stop themselves from saying something.
TILTING HEAD: Often used by a woman to flirt and appear more attractive.
It appeals to a man because it lowers her height; -mimics a baby putting its head on its mother's shoulder; and exposes the neck. As the neck is one of the most vulnerable parts of your body, showing it to someone is a way of saying, "I trust you implicitly."
FURROWED BROWS: Lowering the brows is a dominance gesture used mainly by men, which tells people, "I may be looking at you, but I'm in charge."
SHIFTING WEIGHT: When you want to escape from a conversation, you shift your weight from side to side or back to front.  Men also sometimes do this when chatting to a pretty girl to make themselves appear energetic.
OPEN HANDS: Showing the palms of your hands is a friendly -gesture showing that you have peaceful intentions. It indicates acceptance, good intentions and that you're open to new ideas.
Hiding them, on the other hand, shows that you don't want to give anything away.
FOOT POINT: The way your foot is facing indicates what you're thinking. Follow the line of someone's foot and it will show you what they're most interested in - if it's the door, they want to leave.

Movie:The Green Hornet

The Green Hornet (2011)

The Green Hornet isn’t a bad movie, it just isn’t a particularly good one either. It has its moments, and it can be entertaining, but it is nothing you haven’t seen before many times, and odds are you will quickly forget everything about it as soon as your brain needs to make room for more important things, like what to buy at the grocery store.

 The Green Hornet is a decent movie that follows a pattern so closely that it becomes swallowed by it. The take on the deconstruction of the superhero is a fun idea, and the dynamic of Kato and the Green Hornet is interesting—if not all that surprising or original. The best thing this film has going for it is the potential that it could have in a future installment. Now that the obligatory origin story and bonding between Kato and Britt has been accomplished, a sequel could actually be fairly good.

The story of a man and his much cooler mechanic

Britt Reid (Rogen) is a spoiled brat, whose primary goal in life are partying and annoying his father, James Reid (Tom Wilkinson). James is a billionaire newspaper mogul in Los Angeles that fights corruption through his paper, while Britt parties into the night and frequently appears in his father’s paper, generally in a less than flattering light.

When James dies, Britt is faced with the prospects of running a newspaper empire that he neither wants, nor cares about. He soon meets his father’s old mechanic, Kato, and the two from an unlikely bond, fueled by the fact that neither has even begun to crack their potential. While Britt is intelligent but unmotivated, Kato is a gifted engineer and martial artist that does nothing with either ability.

After a drunken evening, the men head out into the city to cause trouble, but that is interrupted when Britt attempts to stop a mugging. He does so but badly, and Kato quickly comes to his rescue. Together the two relish the excitement of helping people, and Britt then has an idea.

Rather than fighting evil out of altruistic motives, revenge, or a feeling of responsibility, Britt and Kato decide to fight crime because they are bored and think it is fun. Britt decides that they should pose as villains and attack the city’s criminals, claiming to take over while secretly working their way up the underworld and identifying the main threats. It doesn’t take long before the run afoul of the city’s resident kingpin, Chudnofsky (played by Inglorious Basterd’s Christoph Waltz), and Britt and Kato are quickly in way over their heads.

If you don’t like Seth Rogan, if his brand of humor does not appeal to you, then go ahead and take a pass on The Green Hornet. The film is dominated by Rogan and his brand of humor, although much less than in his previous films. The film is a comedy that happens to feature action moments, rather than an action film with comedic elements. Sometimes that works for the movie, sometimes it doesn’t.

The Green Hornet is good for a mindless hour and a half of your time, even though a month from now you will probably have forgotten all about it.

Pros : Some truly funny moments. A wildly over the top, but entertaining final battle.

Cons An unoriginal plot.  Too much Britt, not enough Kato. Cameron Diaz is relegated to being a plot device.

Ark Hotel

Ark Hotel – World’s New Most Unique Hotel

The Ark project was designed by Russian firm Remistudio with the assistance of the International Union of Architects’ program Architecture for Disasters Relief. The dome-shaped hotel is constructed with wooden arches, steel cables and a “self-cleaning” plastic layer instead of glass. The slinky-like Ark hotel can be adapted to suit both land and water. It is built to stay afloat in the event of floods or rising seas. The 14,000 square metre shell-like construction of arches and cables distributes the weight evenly, meaning it can withstand earthquakes. Daylight is filtered through to internal rooms due to the hotel’s see-through structure, reducing the need for lighting. 09 More images after the break...

Designed as: “an integrated energy system with an uninterruptible power supply using alternative energy sources”, the hotel uses solar panels and a rainwater collection system to provide inhabitants with power and water. It would be built around a central pillar connecting to roof-top wind generators and heat pumps, as well as to energy storage and thermal conversion units below.There will also be a “tornado” energy generating spiral at the top of the pillar.

Style Of Parking

I can see is the first time! The art of parking on the streets of London.
Look, is rarely seen.

                                    

Movie:No Strings Attached

No Strings Attached (2011)

Despite the title change to a more marketable name, the dialogue is cut from a similar mold as Judd Apatow’s brand of raunchy humor, only with some welcome gender reversal, finally giving the actress some filthy jokes for a change. If you thought Portman’s “SNL” appearance was hilarious, wait until you see her talking about riding a guy bareback or riffing on testicle implants. As a sort of Garden State meets Knocked Up, the script combines the offbeat feel of Portman’s indie hit and the latter’s foul-mouthed one-liners.

Adam (Kutcher) is a production assistant on a terrible sitcom — no, not “Shit My Dad Says” — and an aspiring stand-up comedian. He’s disillusioned with the idea of love after his dad, a famous actor, starts dating his former girlfriend of four years. While I would have prefered Jason Segel for this part, Kutcher’s Kelso from “That ’70s Show” will have to do.

Emma (Portman), a young doctor in training, is equally cynical about romance, stemming from her parent’s rocky marriage and a distant connection with her mother. She compares being in a committed relationship to a suffocating peanut allergy in her blunt, quirky brand of humor. ”The way I see it, we’re all just these big dumb animals who, for the most part, just want to have sex with each other,” Emma tells Adam. “So maybe we should stop beating ourselves up for what we feel and make sweet bone.” I think I’m in love, er, lust.

The script takes you through the beginning of their friendship, starting with an awkward summer camp “freak” dance to some TLC and a dumpster-side make-out session at the age of 12. Then, at chance meeting at a frat party years later, she tricks him into going to her father’s funeral and they grow closer by playing pranks and watching Bambi together.

A drunk dial sets up their first sexual encounter, a playful scene with plenty of funny back-and-forth bedroom banter. What other comedy is going to give you Natalie Portman claiming she goes on “dick tasting tours in Napa Valley” during a blowjob and commenting on its “oakiness” flavor? Naturally, the pair strikes up a relationship as “friends with benefits,” or “fuck buddies,” complete with ground rules to keep Adam strictly her “renewable source of dick” and nothing more. Rules like “no calling in the middle of the day and saying you were ‘just thinking about me.’ No crying. No jealousy. No saying my penis is cute even if it’s dressed up like a Care Bear and it’s giving you a care-stare.” You know, the essentials.

They both try seeing other people (she dates Cary Elwes), coping with jealousy, and sorting out their family issues, each with helpings of humor and sentimentality. Unfortunately, the script follows a predictable trajectory as the characters separately realize their true feelings, but Meriwether injects enough laughs into the cookie-cutter situations that the progression still remains entertaining.

The early, undated draft I read dragged a little in the third act, moving slowly through the familiar “will they or won’t they” material, but, like its Black List status suggests, this is a very funny script. The trailer (see below) looks awful and not representative of its source, so hopefully Paramount hasn’t dialed down the language. Its foul-mouthed humor is what makes Adam and Emma more realistic adults and sets this high-concept romantic comedy apart from the generic rom-coms starring Jennifer Aniston or… well, Ashton Kutcher.

• Genre: Comedy, Romance
• Director: Ivan Reitman
• Cast: Ashton Kutcher, Natalie Portman, Kevin Kline
