After the unfortunate 18th birthday party of Bella Swan, the family of Edward Cullen has left the town of Forks, Washington as a move to protect her from the posed threats of their kind of world. As the heartbroken and sad Bella goes through the last year in high school alone and empty, she sees the image of Edward helping her whenever she is in danger. She was willing to take up all the risks just to be with him.

With the assistance of her friend Jacob Black, Bella renovates an old big motor bike to be used on her adventures. Her cold heart was all of a sudden softened by her improving relationship with her friend, who also has his own supernatural secret. Jacob is also known as a core member of the mystical tribe of Quileute.

When Bella came face to face with an old time enemy, the coming of a pack of amazingly huge wolves saved he from the hazardous fate. The encounter just confirmed the danger that still awaits her. In a race against time, she unravels the secrets behind the Quileutes and the reason behind Edward leaving her. She also eventually has to face a threatening reunion with her most beloved that would turn out to be more than she expected for.

In the film, all of the characters were played very interestingly but the only trouble still remains with the draggy Bella character. The actress, Kirsten Stewart has shown some improvement in this sequel compared to the first one, she still looked like the most passive female protagonist amongst any other films of the same genre. Whether the scene requires some very deep emotional expression due to a loss of a beloved or just merely watching a human transform into a werewolf, her emotions remain monotonous. She could have done better if she acted a bit more lively and more aggressively, depicting the modern women of today, who are strong and gutsy. Pattinson showed almost the same level of acting as Stewart. While Fanning was the entire film’s best performance with all her brief yet impacting lines and the several stony and cold glares.

The film was matched up with great pop music and assortments to make things carry on and the visual style is a huge improvement since the first film. The good thing about New Moon is that despite the author’s tone of a serious novel, the film director was able to make it less narrow nor self-involved by inserting some light touches of humor.

The DVD release of New Moon, rated PG-13 is set to hit the scene by March 24, 2010.

Margaret came to this idea since Andrew is an American and that she can force him to lie so he can also keep his job. If she will marry Andrew, then that makes her also an American, however, she do not think of marrying him, it is just to lengthen the time to can find a way not being deported back to Canada and keep her Visa status in the United States. She loves her job and also she wanted to get the Editor position in the company.

When the government started investigating them as a couple, they are forced to spend the weekend to Andrew’s parents in Alaska to sell the lie. This is for them to prove that they are really going to be married. She then meets Andrew’s quirky and so hospitable family.

I Love You, Man is about Peter Klaven adventures in meeting the right guy to be his best man. Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) is a girlfriend guy. He is one of those guys who would rather hang out with the girls more. Not that he is gay or anything. He just loves to hang out with girls. Not that it mattered to him, to his girlfriends nor his mom, truth is they love it. So things were going pretty well, until he got engaged with the girl of his dreams, Zooey Rice (Rashida Jones). It was then that he realized the importance of having a male best friend. For in a wedding it is only a male friend, the best friend of the groom who can stand as a best man.

So his mission of getting that special guy to be his best man in time for his wedding began. First stop, he sought the advice of his gay brother, Robbie (Andy Samberg), on meeting men. His brother advised him to invite men on lunch or after work drinks for platonic guy friends. His first attempt was to hang out with Barry (Jon Favrue) the husband of Denise (Jaime Presley), one of Zooey’s friends, for a poker night but ended up drinking too much and vomited on Barry. Next was a dinner with Doug which was setup by his mom (Jane Curtin). Robbie advised him not to go but out of desperation he went through with the setup.

The dinner ended up with Doug giving him a deep tongue kiss (I never knew dinner dates with a stranger signifies you’re interested in getting into a relationship above platonic). He also tried meeting friends online per advice of Robbie and met Mel, who represented himself as a young male but in reality is an old guy. With all the misfortunes that he has gone through, not to mention the experience of being tongue kissed by a guy, Peter decided to give up.

And then he met Sydney Fife during an open house at Lou Ferrigno’s. They hit it off after Sydney gives him a play-by-play of a potential buyer farting. Their friendship hit it off to the delight of Zooey as Peter and Sydney started to hang out with each other more. However, Zooey wasn’t that ecstatic about the friendship though when certain things in their relation started to change as Peter and Sydney’s relationship developed. Peter and Zooey’s hangout time have lessened and she got ignored every now and then when the two are together. And so it reached to the point where Peter had to choose between the love of his life and his new found friendship.

The Brothers Bloom is an American film which is set to have a limited released on May 15, 2009. And there is a wide release on May 29, 2009. This is a heist film starred by Mark Ruffalo (Zodiac), Adrien Brody (Kingkong), Rinko Kikuchi (Babel) and Rachel Weisz (The Mummy Returns). This is directed by Rian Johnson under Summit Entertainment.

The film’s plot is about the Brothers Bloom who are one of the greatest con artists. The brothers were Stephen (Mark Ruffalo) and Bloom (Adrien Brody). They started tricking people back when they were children, and from then they live their lives stealing from different people to millionaires. They work together with a silent sidekick named Bang-bang (Rinko Kikuchi) who is an explosive expert. Stephen is the one who does the planning while Bloom is the one who always go near the victims and the one to feel the guilt in the end. Bloom tried to quit because he wanted to have a good life. He went drunk then Stephen finds him and offered him one last job and then he can quit after doing it.

They are up to a one last job and that is to steal from a wealthy heiress named Penelope Stamp (Rachel Weisz). She is a lonely eccentric girl who believes she has less time. She wanted to do a different or strange kind of adventure. The con men took advantage of her loneliness. But the plan was complicated from the moment Bloom fell in love with Penelope. The moment she discovered that they are con men; she decided to be one of them as well.

The film is not any kind of film that the audience can just predict what happen, it is like having to guess who was being conned and who is not. From different reviews, most movie critics love the plot since it is not boring. The cinematic, costumes and the steamships will remind audience about the Wes Anderson films. It is a quirk-filled film of a con game and love story at the same time. It is a smart film as it is entertaining. The director Rian Johnson was awarded of Outstanding Achievement in Directing at the Newport Beach Film Festival.

The film originally has a release date last January 2009 but was pushed to May 2009. As Summit Entertainment informed, this is because of the many similar films that were being released in January. Last, April 23, 2009, the online streaming video site Hulu posted the first seven minutes of the film.
