Twilight

Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, a division of Hachette Book Group, will host a special International Fan Event, featuring Twilight fans from around the world. Ten fans will be chosen to have a once-in-a-lifetime intimate meeting with international bestselling author Stephenie Meyer. The event coincides with the upcoming release of The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide (April 12, 2011; $24.99).
Little, Brown is partnering with the Twilight Saga publishers in Brazil, China, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Taiwan and the United Kingdom to bring together each country's respective Twilight fan. The fan selected from each country will receive an advance copy of The Official Illustrated Guide and get to talk extensively with Meyer, who will answer their Twilight-related questions.

"The one thing I miss most about my first book tour was the chance I had then to spend quality time with my readers," said Meyer. "At an event with just ten or twenty people, I was able to get to know everyone a little bit. I could also more effectively answer each person's questions. I'm so excited to have that opportunity again, and to get to spend time with fans from many different places and backgrounds."

"We receive hundreds of travel requests for Stephenie from our foreign publishing partners every year," said Megan Tingley, Senior Vice President and Publisher of Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. "Since it is physically impossible for one author to be in so many places, we thought this would be a great way to bring some fans to her.

"

The Official Rules for the sweepstakes to select the fan from the United States (as well as one from Canada), including entry details and eligibility requirements, can be found on TheTwilightSaga.com.
Due to the intimate nature of this event, details regarding the location and timing are being kept confidential. Photos and additional details will be distributed upon the event's conclusion.

The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide provides readers with exclusive new material and everything they need to further explore the unforgettable world Stephenie Meyer created in Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn and The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. The Guide also includes character profiles, outtakes, a conversation with Meyer, genealogical charts, maps, extensive cross-references, and much more. Originally announced as "The Official Guide," The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide includes illustrations from several artists, including Young Kim, the illustrator behind the #1 New York Times bestselling Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Volume 1.

New Hi-Res Prometheus Pictures

The veil of secrecy surrounding 20th Century Fox’s great hope for next summer, Prometheus, has been dense enough to allow the misinformation-spreading monkeys of the internet to have a veritable field day. However, given that seeing is believing, there can be no doubting the veracity of the newest Prometheus materials to surface, they being a fresh batch of high-resolution pictures. Unofficial, phoney and official – such has been the story of the last seven days for Prometheus, the sort-of Alien prequel directed by Sir Ridley Scott. It was all unofficial last weekend, when a test trailer leaked online and duly alluded to a sci-fi movie with a more prevalent action element than perhaps had been anticipated in some quarters.
Then the start of the week witnessed the detonation of a bullcrap bomb, when a bit of fan fiction that had been posted on IMDb began to be circulated under the guise of a detailed plot synopsis. Some gullible were taken in (okay, I admit it. I was fooled and hugely overexcited for about 10 minutes, but then I thought Rebecca Black was an internet-created android, so what do I know?).
And now we’re onto the officially-sanctioned stage of the adventure, as we have the opportunity to pass our eyes over the new set of pictures released into the public domain. Not much of a substitute for a full trailer, but hey, better than nothing, right?
Okay, so we start with this shot of Logan Marshall-Green, a flame-haired Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender, who plays the android crew-member of the titular spaceship Prometheus. Curiously, they’re all wielding torches, despite the room they’re in not being particularly dark. And they’ve been kitted out with fancy collars which made me think of Robin Williams’ King of the Moon from The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

Then there’s Charlize Theron and Idris Elba on the bridge of a ship, presumably Prometheus itself, the decor looking somewhere between the sheen of J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek (which shares a scripter, Damon Lindelof, with Prometheus) and the battered steamer-look of Scott’s original Alien.

And speak of the devil, here’s Sir Ridders himself, directing leading lady Rapace.

Here’s three of the crew in the so-called Ampule Room (Ampule: a small container; container for hypodermic use. Least that’s what it says in my dictionary). Check out the so-Giger-it-hurts quality of the curving design of the chamber.

And is that a dead ‘space jockey’ from the original Alien in the foreground?

Is that glowing orb from his, or her, head?
Finally, here’s some kind of alien-yet-familiar space-face.

Even ignoring the discredited synopsis, most seem to agree that Prometheus will deal with a human crew attempting to discover the origins of Earth on the edge of the universe – they finding that humanity has been guided by outside help in that classic Arthur C. Clarke manner. Looking forward to it.
Prometheus is out in the US on 8 June 2012. It opens in the UK a week earlier

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy – Review

Our Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Review.
Director: Tomas Alfredson
Starring: Gary Oldman, Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Mark Strong, John Hurt
Release Date: UK – Back In October / US – 9th December

Taking John le Carré’s classic Cold War thriller and turning it into an exciting film is a daunting task. After all, the novel is incredibly slow-paced and there aren’t any explosions or car chases – the protagonist doesn’t even carry a gun. Anyone attempting to use the source material to tell an exciting story would need to have a lot of skill, luck or both.

Thankfully, Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In) is exactly the right man for the job, and he’s managed to do everything right in bringing the story to the screen. The cast are English, the setting is mid seventies and the pace is impeccable.

Gary Oldman leads possibly the greatest British cast in film history as George Smiley, a man forced out of his top-level job working for the Circus, the highest echelon of Intelligence. But Smiley is soon drafted back – from his unique position on the sidelines, he is required to observe the Circus and discover which one of his former colleagues has been selling secrets to the Russians for almost ten years.

Where to start with a film that’s practically perfect on almost every detail? How about the cast? The line-up of talent here is simply wonderful, with legendary actors like John Hurt and Roger Lloyd-Pack mixing it up with newer faces like Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Mark Strong and Benedict Cumberbatch. Each one brings an amazing touch of quality to the film – a sadness, a knowing sense of being displaced by time itself. The most incredible part is how much of the characters are hidden behind the actors’ eye and yet you can almost hear their thoughts. Special mention goes to Benedict Cumberbatch, simply because the man who played TV’s Sherlock Holmes manages to share most of his screentime with Oldman and never looks the weaker man.

Oldman’s quiet, subdued performance as Smiley dominates the film – as well it should – and the depth of sadness and thought that he gives the role is nothing less than outstanding. Contrary to any other thriller protagonist ever, Smiley’s lead weapon is his mind and the scene where he reduces David Dencik’s Toby Esterhase to tears just by talking to him is perhaps the most powerful piece of film to appear on the screen this year.

The excellent cast are supported by the equally talented director. Alfredson’s sedate, thoughtful style perfectly compliments the film. The director’s use of long shots provides the audience with a sense of voyeurism, as though we are spying on the spies (fitting, giving the theme of the film). Alfredson allows events to unfold at their own pace and allows tension to seep through the film, rather than force it in the audience’s face. The effect is spellbinding – at once treating the audience as intelligent and forcing them to observe every little detail as though they too were spies. Is that waiter’s hand trembling because he is nervous? Is that man being watched? It’s an unusual treat indeed for a film audience to be expected to pay attention.

Taking the classic thriller and transferring it to the screen might have been an impossible task, but thanks to the talents of the cast and crew, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is one of the best films of the year. Just pay attention and expect a different kind of thrill to the one cinema usually provides.

Our Grade: A

《死神来了5》720p高清版下载啦！（迅雷+电驴+磁力下载）

《死神来了》前四部我都看过，虽然感觉情节很假，但还是蛮惊险的，而且非常有创意，所以每一部都会看。第一部为飞机失事，第二部为连环车祸，第三部为过山车脱轨，第四部是赛车场意外。说实话这个系列的片子还蛮血腥的，不过比起《电锯惊魂》系列好多了。如果你喜欢看这类电影，我向你严重推荐十大最血腥电影。最新的第五部在美国和香港早就上映过了，可是为什么迟迟没有在内地上映呢？据说原因就是由于该影片内容过于血腥，禁止国内上映。这下有看头了，我最喜欢禁片了，哈哈！

　　死神来了5，这次又会是灾难呢？拉开新故事序幕的将会是一场吊桥倒塌事件，一个男子的预感救了一群参加公司组织的野外拓展活动的同事，令他们遭遇了悬索桥坍塌的意外灾难侥幸逃生。但是这群倒霉蛋们注定无法顺利逃生，在与时间的可怕赛跑中，他们发了疯一样寻求逃脱死神的魔掌，其中包含激光眼睛手术、针灸等新意场景。
　　终于等到出高清版了，还是720P的！下载方式包括迅雷、电驴和磁力，不懂什么是磁力下载的点这里。不上图了，好像真的很血腥……

最长的拥抱

童瑶素颜出镜

童瑶造型似邻家女孩

　由著名导演杨亚洲、杨博执导的时尚励志纯爱电影《最长的拥抱》已在北京杀青。该片由新四小花旦之一的童瑶、“断臂钢琴师”达人秀冠军刘伟及倪萍主演。童瑶在片中饰演一个叛逆的北漂女孩，为了更贴近人物全程素颜上阵，似邻家女孩般清纯可人。

　　电影《最长的拥抱》中，北漂女孩“小北”初来北京，在面对繁华世界和各种诱惑时误入歧途，选择自杀。恰巧被无臂青年“宫平”所救，随后在小北与宫平的接触中，小北渐渐体会到善良、关爱的可贵，决定走出阴霾，性格也由最初的叛逆、张狂变得阳光、开朗。由于之前有片约在身，童瑶差点错失“小北”这一角色，在导演眼中，童瑶是在想到小北这个人物时的第一人选，所以不惜延迟开机两个月，终于等来了童瑶。而童瑶也不负重望，用自己特有的感觉把小北这个本不讨喜的角色刻画的生动鲜活，并且可怜可爱。在拍摄过程中，童瑶为突出小北外面叛逆、内心纯净的性格，选择素颜上镜，在服饰上也以简单的素色服装为主，干净清爽，效果让人眼前一亮，宛如邻家少女般纯净、无暇。

　　该片由中盟世纪传媒投资拍摄，也是中盟世纪与杨亚洲导演的第二次合作。为此，杨导还特意找来儿子杨博一同联合执导。据悉，这也是父子首次联合执导的作品，杨导对这次的合作非常满意，并表示希望影片可以去冲击国际上的一些电影节。
