Hugo

Martin Scorsese directs Hugo and it's available in 3D. This movie got raving reviews from reviewers at IMDb and Roger Ebert himself.

Hugo (Asa Butterfield) is a boy who lives at a Paris train station after his father passed away. His father (Jude Law) was a clock maintenance guy in this train station. After his death, his uncle (Ray Winstone) made him work there. Abandoned by his uncle to live – literally – inside a gigantic clock beneath an ominously large pendulum, Hugo steals in order to survive, which brings him into conflict with one of the station’s stallholders, bad-tempered toymaker Georges (Ben Kingsley), though Hugo manages to make friends with Georges’ orphaned niece (Chloe Grace Moretz).

Hugo now wants to finish his father's work of a robot-like mechanism. Together, he and Chloe go through his father's notes and also her library to get it done.

This movie with is a must watch as it mixes brilliance, happiness, somberness and nostalgia under one roof.

Arthur Christmas

If a theme has been played again and again in more movies than you can count, then it's overplayed and the movie will be not entertaining. This is what happens in Arthur Christmas where it's about Santa who has to deliver presents at super sonic speed to kids all over the world. This CGI suggests that Santa has lots of elves on a military plane commandered by his elder son Steve. His younger brother Arthur, however, is kept in the mailroom as he tends to be not much of an organiser.

So, it happens that all kids must get their presents on Christmas eve except for this particular day where a girl has been missed out. Then it's up to Arthur, his grandfather and an elve to show that Santa cares.

I think this is a great story only if you don't tire of santa and his elves.

The Muppets

The Muppets opened in the theatres at $29.5m and currently standing at number 2 in the movies' list. (IMdB Chart: Top Movies). It stars Kermit the Frog, Gonzo the Great, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy and Animal. Now, they have disbanded for many years each living their own lives. Kermit lives in his own mansion depressed in Hollywood, Gonzo is a high class plumber at Gonzo's Royal Flush, Fozzie performs with a tribute band called The Moopets , Miss Piggy is the plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, and Animal is at a celebrity anger management rehab.

Their fans, Walter, his brother, Gary and Gary's girlfriend finds out that an oilman Tex Richman is going to tear down the Muppet Theatre. Walter being a very avid Muppets fan wants to stop Tex's plan. He comes out with a plan for the muppets to come together again to perform in order to raise funds to buy back the theatre. Hence, Kermit the Frog is sought with this goal in mind.

This is a very entertaining show as those who had seen the muppets on television ages ago will relive the entertainment each muppet brings to him or her. Their singing and dancing make you want to join along. 

So, what are you waiting for? Head for the nearest theatre! 

Seeking Justice

After Trespass, Nicholas Cage yet again star in this thriller about his wife who has been assaulted and he is seeking to get the bad guy. Cage plays Nick Gerard, a school teacher and a loving husband to Laura (January Jones). In the hospital after the attack, Nick is approached by Simon (Guy Pearce) who will deal with the perpetrator in a way that the justice system can't. In return, Nick has to help Simon's group back.

So, Nick now learns that the group actually dispenses their own kind of justice as the authorities are too busy doing the nitty gritty. Will Nick be satistifed with the work he has to do for the vigilante group?

Happy Feet Two

Happy Feet returns with the son of Mumble (voiced by Elijah Wood), Erik (voiced by Ava Acres having problems with dancing. See, Mumble is also the Master of Tap. So, Erik ran away and met The Mighty Sven (voiced by Hank Azaria), a penguin which flies. Son naturally prefers the penguin that can fly to his dancing father. All the other penguins are looking up to The Mighty Sven as he is persuasive talkative nature.

Robin Williams voiced hippy penguin Ramon, who now takes a backseat to just trying his best to romance fellow penguin Carmen (Sofia Vergara). There's also Brad Pitt and Matt Damon voice overs for Krills, Will and Bill respectively. They provide good jokes for the show besides the dancing and singing from those Happy Feet.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn : Part 1

Harry Potter has done it, now the Twilight Saga is following suit. This is the first part of a 2-parter which will see the end of the Twilight Saga franchise.

Edward and Bella, played Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, have decided to get married. Bella has made her decision. She will go into the bridal ceremony, one that she has kept off for so long.

The wedding reaches a fever pitch of romance when Jacob (Taylor Lautner) shows up secretly at the ceremony and he and Edward have one of their burning-eyed confrontations on the subject of Bella's wellbeing. But the bride and groom head off happily enough for their honeymoon, in what appears to be a luxury hotel bungalow near Rio. Then, incredibly, the angstiness continues. The couple appear not to have considered the matters of condoms and birth control. Soon Bella is pregnant with a baby girl, and inevitably this brings Jacob and Edward closer together. Bella sweetly says she'll mix their moms' names to call her Renesmee. But Jacobward is the real story here.

Jacobward gets more and more stressed as the demi-vampire inside Bella grows at an alarming rate. Bella gets thin and gaunt. Then the wolf pack decide this vampire child is an intolerable future threat.

Fundamentally, this Twilight movie is yet another fantastically trying drama on the now very boring subject of wolves versus vampires and the consequent crisis of identity.

The Immortals

There are many great battles scenes in this movie. King Hyperion (Mickey Rouke) is on a vengeance trail to destroy the Gods of Olympus and the mortals. This he aims to achieve by freeing the Titans so as to unleash their power and destroy those mighty Gods. So on his quest to do that, he and his army battles villages after villages.

It seems like nobody can stop them until a stone mason named Theseus (Henry Cavill) stands up to the King for having killed his mother. Thesus has actually been chosen by Zeus to stop King Hyperion and at the same time prevent the battle of the Titans again.
