Irish author Jonathan Swift first published Gulliver's Travels in 1726, and it became an immediate sensation. Since then, Gulliver's Travels never has gone out-of-print, and its twenty-first century sales remain nearly as robust as they were in the sixteenth. Universally acknowledged as a classic of British literature, Swift's wonderwork scathingly satirizes human nature and parodies "travellers' tales." Not surprising, then, Hollywood has attempted to bring Gulliver's story to life on film in every decade since the medium was invented. Typically, the special effects have failed to keep pace with Swift's imagination. In the story's latest reprise, a slightly modernized version, the special effects are up to the challenge, but the question emerges, "Is Jack Black up to it?" Black has disappointed fans with his last couple of ventures, but critics say he looks "at ease" as he goes for "big" laughs in the land of the Lilliputians. The producers and director have built-in a few features to give Black a healthy bounce: Updating the story, they show Gulliver as a contemporary mailroom guy who finally catches a break, winning a travel-writing assignment in the Bermuda Triangle. 3D has gotta help the contrast between big Gulliver and little Lilliputians, and an all-star supporting cast is expected to bring out the best of Black's comic gifts.

There seemed to be way too much material to fit into a single 90 minute movie so the plan was to split it up into two separate films, each with the quality cast, story writing, and production values that made the first one a huge success! Now we join them after the birth of Renesmee. The clan of vampires gathers around to protect this new addition against many false allegations and so the story continues with almost everyone completely against having vampires living amongst them.xpect to see plenty of fake snow in Part 2 as it was filmed in Vancouver. The expected (written into the scenes) snowfall never quite met expectations so use of a green screen as well as plenty of fake snow had to be used.

Bond, James Bond! Famous words that have surfaced in 22 movies that date back to 1962. The first film was titled Dr. No with the excellent Sean Connery portraying super spy agent 007 James Bond. Connery played the part for six movies and many still think he was the best Bond! Then came Roger Moore who did 007 proud for seven more Bond films. Titles have always been unique such as Goldfinger, You Only Live Twice, Thunderball, Live and Let Die, Octopussy, and The Spy Who Loved Me. Since the last Roger Moore version of 007 back in 1985 there have been several more who took on the daunting task of playing James Bond but none can compare to Moore and Connery! Daniel Craig (The Golden Compass, Cowboys & Aliens) is a modern spy who has plenty to offer by way of sex appeal and Skyfall is his third film in the series. Joining him are Javier Bardem (No Country For Old Men, Eat Pray Love) as the movie's villain, and Judith Dench (Shakespeare in Love) who plays "M" for this her seventh Bond film.
