Plot
When college friends reunite after 15 years over the Christmas holidays, they will discover just how easy it is for long-forgotten rivalries and romances to be ignited.
Movie review
"The Best Man Holiday" is a reunion story, a reconciliation story, a get-down-on-your-knees-and-pray story, a circle-of-life story. But above all it is filmmaker Malcolm D. Lee's dissertation on the current state of the black experience as upscale, evolving, faith-based and agitated.
Lee's unruly follow-up to 1999's "The Best Man," his sprawling ensemble comedy about a tight circle of African American college friends and a falling-out during a wedding, picks up 15 years later after countless grown-up issues have had time to settle in.
Be ready to reach for a tissue, say "amen" and sigh more than a few times, for the film has all the chaos and clutter of a big holiday gathering.
The original's racy comedy, cast and caricatures return. But there are serious, sober issues propelling the stories. It takes a bit of doing, but here's how Lee sets the table: Lance (Morris Chestnut) and Mia (Monica Calhoun), the handsome football superstar and his saintly wife, whose premarital dalliance caused the original friction, are hosting the reunion. He's on the verge of a record-breaking run in the Christmas Day game — and a surprise retirement. She's determined to patch up the past in the face of pressing health concerns.
Harper (Taye Diggs) is a bestselling author, Lance's best man and Mia's dalliance. He and Robyn (Sanaa Lathan), his smart significant other, are finally expecting after years of costly and heartbreaking fertility treatments. Julian (Harold Perrineau) and Candace (Regina Hall), the social activist and the stripper, are now happily married with kids. But a YouTube video of "Candy's" earlier indiscretions has gone viral and funding for the school Julian runs has taken a hit.
Driven career girl Jordan (Nia Long) has gotten more successful and a little closer to a commitment with a new boyfriend named Brian (Eddie Cibrian), who is, gulp, white — prepare yourself for a lot of corny vanilla and latte jokes. The loose cannons of the group are looser and more lethal. Shelby (Melissa De Sousa) is a reality-TV superstar with an entitled ego to match, and the smoky, sultry Quentin (Terrence Howard) is still drifting and still making trouble. As he was in the first film, Quentin is responsible for fueling much of the conflict, and Howard is smooth as silk in navigating that minefield.
The strength in Lee's films is never in the bombast or its blaxploitation indulgences but in quiet conversations. When the hyper-sexualized showboating and the explosive temper tantrums fade back, reality in the form of real human relationships slip in. The writer-director creates complex interconnections among each of the friends, but the central one remains the Lance-Harper dynamic.
Beyond the specifics, which involve Harper's hope of resurrecting his struggling career with a biography on Lance, the core theme is how men show their vulnerability. When that raw need is exposed by any of the characters, the film is at its finest.
Running parallel are the women's issues. Lathan's long-suffering pregnant wife and Long's career sophisticate are particularly well-drawn female characters. It is refreshing to see women allowed to step beyond the stereotypes, with the actresses bringing an intelligent authenticity to the roles. Shelby, on the other hand, is all stereotype, all the time, with a capital "B."
Even with excesses, the performances are solid. If anything, the intervening years have given Lee a far more seasoned cast, and they do much to keep the film from completely unraveling, a constant threat.
Howard, meanwhile, is a menace to this society in all the right ways. The actor has built a thick portfolio of fine roles, including his 2006 Oscar nomination for the hip-hop bad boy in "Hustle & Flow." He is deliciously sleazy and keenly observant as Quentin. His eyes, heavy-lidded, and his smile, always ironic, never fail to improve the moment or explain what is really going on.
Director of photography Greg Gardiner, production designer Keith Brian Burns, costume designer Danielle Hollowell, with Stanley Clarke in charge of the music — always a major chord in Lee's movies — have helped polish the production to a high sheen.
"The Best Man Holiday" is Lee's most ambitious film. There is so much the writer-director wants to say about God, faith, fame, family and affluent African American life. The result is a joyous, raucous, righteous film but also a frustrating and disappointing one. Not quite the gift of the season some had hoped for.

Plot Summary
In a flashback to New Year's Eve 1999 in Bern, Switzerland, Tony Stark gives a lecture on integrated circuits. After his presentation, he is approached by a crippled scientist, Aldrich Killian, who seeks Stark's aid in his endeavor, Advanced Idea Mechanics. Stark tells Killian to meet him on the roof in five minutes. The desperate Killian waits for hours, but Stark himself fails to show. Stark andMaya Hansen spend the night together. In addition, we see the fatal flaw of the extremis virus, the host is violently exploded. Sometime after the events of The Avengers, a haunted Stark has obsessively built several Iron Man suits in his mansion. This causes friction with his girlfriend, new Stark Industries chief Pepper Potts.
In present-day America, a string of bombings by the terrorist known as The Mandarin has left intelligence agencies bewildered at the lack of forensic evidence. When Stark Industries security chief Happy Hogan is caught in one such attack, Stark revives himself from his stupor and issues a televised threat to the Mandarin, who responds by destroying Stark's home with helicopter gunships. Hansen arrives at Stark's house to warn him about the Mandarin, but she arrives to late and Stark's mansion is attacked. Stark mentally summons the Mark XLII to Pepper to protect her. After Pepper brings Hansen to safety, Stark summons the armor to himself. Although the suit is not combat ready, Stark manages to take down 2 helicopters and escape. Stark falls unconscious mid-flight but awakens afterJ.A.R.V.I.S. desperately warns Stark that the suit is running out of power. Stark crash lands in rural Tennessee and has no way of returning to California.
Stark drags his suit around until he finds and breaks into a garage, in an attempt to repair his suit. Harley Keenergoes to investigate the noise and finds Stark, whom he befriends after seeing his armor. Teaming with Harley, Stark investigates the remains of a local explosion bearing the hallmarks of a Mandarin attack. He discovers the explosions were triggered by soldiers from the Extremis program, an experimental treatment intended to allow its users to recover from crippling injuries. However, if a user's body cannot properly metabolize Extremis, the user heats up and explodes. After veterans started growing unstable and exploding, their deaths were used to cover up Extremis' flaws by manufacturing a terrorist plot. Stark witnesses Extremis first hand when Mandarin agents Ellen Brandt and Eric Savin attack him.
With Harley's help, Stark traces the Mandarin to Miami. Stark infiltrates the headquarters using a variety of home-made weapons where he discovers the Mandarin is actually a British actor named Trevor Slattery , who is oblivious to the acts the Mandarin has carried out. The Mandarin is a creation of Killian, who appropriated Hansen's Extremis research as a cure for his own disability and expanded the program to include injured war veterans. Killian reveals he has kidnapped Potts and subjected her to Extremis, intending to infuse her with superhuman abilities and turn her against Stark as leverage to gain Stark's aid in fixing Extremis' flaws.
Killian has also manipulated American intelligence agencies regarding the Mandarin's location, luring James Rhodes — the former War Machine, now rebranded as the Iron Patriot — into a trap to steal the armor. Stark escapes his captivity by summoning his armor and reunites with Rhodes, discovering Killian intends to attack President Ellis aboard Air Force One. Remotely controlling his Iron Man armor, Stark saves the surviving passengers and crew after a bomb was detonated but cannot stop Killian from abducting Ellis. They trace Killian to an impounded oil drilling platform where Killian intends to kill Ellis (wearing the Iron Patriot armor) on live television. The Vice President will become a puppet leader, following Killian's orders in exchange for Extremis to cure a little girl's disability.
On the platform, Stark goes to save Potts, and Rhodes the President. Stark summons each of his Iron Man suits, controlled remotely by JARVIS, to provide air support. Rhodes secures the President and leads him to safety, while Stark discovers Potts has survived the Extremis procedure. However, before he can save her, a rig collapses around them and she falls 200 feet to her apparent death. Stark, forced into confronting Killian, traps Killian in an Iron Man suit that self-destructs. Potts, whose Extremis powers allowed her to survive her fall, kills Killian, who had survived the exploding armor.
After the battle, Stark orders J.A.R.V.I.S. to remotely destroy each Iron Man suit, as a sign of his intention to devote more time to Potts. Both the Vice President and Slattery are arrested. Potts undergoes surgery to remove Extremis, and Stark to remove the shrapnel embedded near his heart; the latter of which was performed by Dr. Wu, the very man Tony's ally Ho Yinsen had attempted to introduce in Bern, Switzerland all those years ago. Tony then returns to the ruins of his Malibu home and pitches his obsolete chest arc reactor into the sea, musing he will always be Iron Man, even without his armor.
In a post-credit scene, it is revealed that Stark's narration of the film has actually been him relating the story to Dr. Bruce Banner. He awakens after having fallen asleep during Stark's narration. When Stark asks when he lost him, Banner replies, "The elevator in 1999."

Synopsis
When “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” opens, its lethally resourceful teenage heroine, Katniss Everdeen, is crouching in a forest, surveying a terrain as pristine as the one once scouted by American Indians. However pastoral, this isn’t the forest primeval but the very edge of free land outside the impoverished zone in which Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and her relatives, friends and the other starved souls labor for Panem, the authoritarian state built on the ruins of North America after a catastrophic war. It’s here that she hunts game to feed her family and where this startlingly new pioneer — with her bow and arrows, leather jacket and boots, primitive individualism and totally awesome strength of character — was forged. “Catching Fire” is the follow-up to “The Hunger Games” and the second in what will be four movie adaptations of Suzanne Collins’s fantastically successful book trilogy. (The studio behind the series, Lionsgate, is splitting the final book into two flicks.) It’s largely satisfying as far as screen adventures go, and comes fully loaded with special effects and action scenes, and embellished with the usual brand-name character actors, including the new arrivals Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright and Amanda Plummer. It also has a different director, Francis Lawrence (replacing Gary Ross), who showed that he knows his way around the post-apocalypse with the Will Smith vehicle “I Am Legend.” (Given Katniss’s increasingly valiant trajectory, that would have made an apt title for this dystopian romp.) — Manohla Dargis

Pirates of the Caribbean 4 on Stranger Tides (2011)
Directed byRob Marshall; written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, based on characters created by Mr. Elliott, Mr. Rossio, Stuart Beattie and Jay Wolpert, suggested by the novel by Tim Powers; director of photography, Dariusz Wolski; edited by David Brenner and Wyatt Smith; music by Hans Zimmer; production design by John Myhre; costumes by Penny Rose; produced by Jerry Bruckheimer; released by Walt Disney Pictures. Running time: 2 hours 7 minutes.
ON STRANGER TIDES is one of the best PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movies to date. There were some doubts going into this as two key characters from the original trilogy are missing, Will and Elizabeth Turner. While Will and Elizabeth added a lot to the first three films their absence in the fourth is hardly worth mentioning. A new cast mixed with many old favorites makes for a great story.
Full Movie Reviews:
It is fitting that what passes for a plot in “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” involves a search for the fountain of youth. This film, the fourth in a series that made its improbable and profitable leap from the theme park to the multiplex eight summers ago, represents an attempt to rejuvenate a flagging franchise.
Whether the effort was absolutely necessary is both an obvious and a naïve question. Why would the Walt Disney Company, which distributes these movies, and Jerry Bruckheimer, who produces them, ever want to leave well enough alone? In Hollywood, gratuitous excess — not necessity — is the mother of invention.
Not that “On Stranger Tides” is especially inventive. Gore Verbinski, who directed the first three installments with wanton energy, rococo visual flair and a flagrant disregard for narrative coherence, has been replaced by Rob Marshall, who specializes in turning well-loved pieces of popular art (“Chicago,” “Memoirs of a Geisha,” “Nine“) into tedious, literal-minded prestige movies. So while this picture is called “On Stranger Tides,” it is by far the least strange of all the “Pirates” episodes so far, with none of the cartoonish exuberance or creepy-crawly effects that made its predecessors intermittently delightful.
Mr. Verbinski, whose sensibility owes more to the naughty, anarchic Warner Brothers and MGM cartoons of the 1940s and ’50s than to the Disney tradition, made a successful transition to full-blown animation with “Rango,” which featured Johnny Depp as a lizard out of water. Mr. Depp, returning as Jack Sparrow in “Tides,” is very much in his aqueous, mischievous element, and he shows admirable professionalism in a project that often seems more like a rock-band reunion tour than a blockbuster movie sequel.
A lot of the original cast members and special guest stars have fallen away — Keith Richards shows up for a minute or two, less thrillingly than the last time — but the guys up front are still in good shape, and a few more old-timers have been recruited from elsewhere to add their seasoned chops.
Richard Griffiths has a fleshy, wiggy cameo as King George, and Judi Dench appears briefly as a lady in a carriage, but the movie belongs to the power trio of Mr. Depp, Geoffrey Rush (as his sometime nemesis Barbossa) and Ian McShane, who brings a floridly sinister death-metal-meets-“Deadwood” vibe to the role of Blackbeard.
Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom are hardly missed, as the filmmakers — Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio are the credited screenwriters — wisely turn the movie over to the gamy supporting players. There are a pair of young people in love, one of them a missionary (Sam Claflin), the other a mermaid (Astrid Bergès-Frisbey), but their wooing is incidental to the mugging and bellowing and occasional swordplay among Sparrow, Blackbeard and Barbossa. It’s almost as if a “Harry Potter” movie had dispensed with Harry, Ron and Hermione and devoted itself to documenting a meeting of the Hogwarts faculty.
But the name Jerry Bruckheimer in the opening titles mean that things must explode — a huge tank of whale oil, most memorably — and that there must be chases, crashes and leaps through the air. With an early exception involving a cream puff and a chandelier, these action sequences are handled more as instances of duty than occasions for play.
“On Stranger Tides” never lives up to — or, for that matter, does anything to deserve — the recent parody tribute offered by Michael Bolton in a “Saturday Night Live”digital short, which emphasizes exactly the insouciant pop spirit that has slowly drained out of the “Pirates” juggernaut from one film to the next. It lives on in a few bon mots, and in a spooky, sexy sequence involving mermaids, whose pert, smooth tails are the only memorable piscine digital innovations on display here.
But like “Thor“ — which is, all in all, not quite as boring — “On Stranger Tides” is protected from the consequences of its own mediocrity by the mere fact that it is opening in thousands of theaters on Friday. People will go, and more energy will be expended parsing the box-office returns than discussing the merits of the film, which is likely to be judged entertaining enough and therefore, in the end, not much fun at all.
“Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Some fantasy-horror violence.

disagrees with his plan so with his cohorts, he decides to take Jane
away. And he enlists the aid of his brother, Loki. Problem is can Thor
trust Loki.
Movie Review
Is it a Quantum Field Generator or a a Soul Forge? It’s both, and
that’s why ‘Thor: The Dark World,’ like ‘Thor’ before it, is one of the
best films that blends sci-fi and fantasy. Add the humor, star charisma
and nods to the wider Marvel Movie Universe and you’ve got 120 minutes
of straight-up nerdy glee. If dorky blood flows through your veins, you
will love this movie.
Something called the Aether is flowing
within Dr. Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), the left-behind gal pal of the
chiseled, blonde Norse legend/space creature Thor (Chris Hemsworth) –
he who swings a mighty hammer and melts hearts with a smile. The Aether
is a gooey plasma of evil, or something, which is hidden “between the
realms,” but winds up getting absorbed by our curiosity-prone scientist.
If nefarious Malekith and his Dark Elves get ahold of Jane and the
Aether at the right time (now, wouldn’t you know) and the right place
(Earth, naturally) it will mean doom for everyone.
Thus Thor must
take Jane to Asgard. While getting checked out by an other-worldly
physician (played by Alice Krige, the Borg Queen, my fellow
nerdlingers!) a crazy 3D projection of sparkly cells hovers above Jane’s
body. The Earther and Alien share a little banter over what to call it
(even when facing a grave medical threat, Portman’s Foster sticks to her
guns and says it is a Quantum Field Generator) but no matter what you
call it, it’s a great deal of fun.
The special effect – to linger
on this one perfect moment from the film a bit longer – resembles the
silvery projections that were all over Krypton in this summer’s ‘Man of
Steel.’ It’s hard not to compare the two films, as they are so similar
and yet so different. The DC movies are big and brooding. ‘Thor: The
Dark World,’ despite equally high stakes (and even the sacrifice of a
supporting character) manages to stay light. The conclusion of ‘Man of
Steel’ rained death from above. The conclusion of ‘Thor: The Dark World’
features funny, anarchic zips between parallel universes and
near-madcap one-liners. Both styles have their merit.
The
Hemsworth-Portman scenes work best. As in the first film these lovers
from two worlds are blazing with an unquantifiable X-factor. There is no
finer love story, which usually feels shoehorned, in any recent
superhero movie. Kat Dennings as Dr. Foster’s assistant (and Jonathan
Howard as the assistant’s assistant) are terrific as comic relief,
though the big spectacle of this all is already pretty goofy. The Dark
Elves’ siege of Asgard is a well-executed display of crazy-looking
ships, warriors in helmets, lasers blasting out of staffs and hand
grenades that suck its victims into miniature black holes. It is
top-shelf lunacy. The action kinda resembles ‘The Phantom Menace’ a
little bit, but I mean that completely in a good way.
Not
everything is perfect. Malekith is a bit flat as a villain, but I think
this is in service of keeping Loki front and center. The two brothers
work side-by-side (part of an elaborate escape, which is edited together
like a caper film) and Tom Hiddleston once again sinks his teeth into
the role. Also, Sif and the Warriors Three really take a back seat this
time. As anecdotal evidence I took a guest to ‘Thor: The Dark World’ who
had not seen the first one, and she did not pick up that Volstagg was
all that important to the Thor mythos.
The trade-off, however, is
a film packed with other cool stuff. There are rock creatures and quick
trips to lands like Vanaheim and Svartalfheim and Natalie Portman
wearing a cloak. Plus the Aether and Nine Realms Convergence, which I’ll
need a moment with the Marvel Wiki to fully understand, looks pretty
damn cool.
For every lovably turgid, portentous moment that
Anthony Hopkins’ Odin babbles about destiny, trickster Loki presents a
secret passageway with a “ta-da!” ‘Thor: The Dark World’ is everything I
want out of a movie starring a handsome God in a red cape.
