<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The handicapped leads the blind in director Kim Dong-Hyun's humane drama
about an uprooted North Korean man attempting to help an illegal
Vietnamese locate his missing girlfriend as the pair board a bus bound
for Pusan. North Korean-born Jin-Wook has just passed the citizenship
course after crossing the border into South Korea, and now he's all set
to settle down in a stripped-down Seoul apartment. Realizing that he
lacks a blanket for the night, Jin-Wook sets out to the local mega-store
and becomes so overwhelmed that he forgets how to find his way back
home. Later, Jin-Wook hails a cab driven by North Korean ex-patriot
Hae-Jung in hopes that he will better be able to locate his apartment
block from the street. Though the pair does eventually reach Jin-Wook's
apartment, it's only with the added assistance of the morning sun. A few
days later, after boarding a bus bound for Pusan Jin-Wook makes the
acquaintance of an illegal Vietnamese named Tingwoon. Tingwoon has set
out in search of his girlfriend, who had recently arrived in Korea to
marry a Korean husband.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ped (Jirayu La-ongmanee) was a shy boy who had never listened to music
until introduced to the world of Pop and Rock by would-be childhood
crush Ern (Nattasha Nualjam). Ern soon left for Bangkok, however, and it
is six years later in their final school year when she is re-introduced
to Ped and his brash best friend Koong (Pachara Chirathivat). Koong
convinces Ped, along with schoolmate Ex (Thawat Pornrattanaprasert), to
form a band, partly to be cool and attract girls, partly as an attempt
by Koong to try and one-up his popular twin brother Kay. Their musical
talents aren't great, but that doesn't stop them from trying. However,
when Ern decides to lend them her outstanding guitar skills, Ped and
Koong's shared attraction to her puts a strain on the band's survival,
as well as their friendship.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Nam (Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul) is a girl who is secretly attracted to P'Shone (Mario Maurer), her senior at school. However, she feels that
Shone is too good-looking for her. Instead, Nam and her three friends
turn to the help from the book 'Nine Recipes of Love', which is believed
to have a magical power to win affection from the boy of choice. Nam's
father works in the States to support his family and promises to Nam and
her younger sister that he will send a plane ticket for the US to
whichever one of them earn the first place in school. Nam misses her
father and is determined to study hard to raise her grade.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Nam and her friends are denied by the Thai dance club after picking a
fight with Faye, a pretty girl at school. They instead join the English
Drama club headed by Teacher Inn, where Nam is chosen to play Snow
White in the school drama, Snow White,
during the school fair. Shone is also helping the Drama club as a stage
painter. After the drama, Nam becomes popular among the boys at school.
Nam also tries to change her appearances by wearing contact lens,
braces, and whitening her skin. Her look improves dramatically. She is
also chosen as a drum major of the school parade, while Shone joins the
soccer team as a striker.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">During the second year of the story, Shone's childhood friend, Top,
joins the school. He immediately likes Nam and some days later, he
confesses his love to Nam. She is shocked and does not answer to avoid
the risk of hurting Shone's best friend, Top. Top takes her silence as
an acceptance. Next morning, Top asks Nam to go to the football match to
see Shone play. After the match, Shone tells Nam that he wishes that he
had a girlfriend, much to Nam's shock. They are interrupted by Top
before Nam can say anything back. At the birthday night party of Ake,
one of their friends, Top and Shone share a story where both liked the
same girl and after that experience, they say that they have promised to
never to fall in love with the same girl again. During a dance, Top
kisses Nam's cheek, making her uncomfortable. That night, Nam breaks up
with him. A heartbroken Top asks Shone to promise never to pursue Nam
because he wouldn't be able to see his best friend with the girl he
loves. Shone acknowledges his friendship to Top by promising to do so.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Three years have passed by since the beginning of her story. Nam
secures the first position in her exam, which means she will get to stay
with her father in the States. Nam and her friend finally realizes that
the book did not do much help and decides to use the 10th recipe:
Direct confession. On the closing of the school year, Nam finally
confesses to Shone, only to find out that she is too late. Shone is
already going out with Pin, his classmate. That night, Shone comes home
to find out that he is accepted into a trainee program in a professional
soccer team, and has to leave for the camp the following morning. He
goes into his room and takes out a diary. That diary contains all of
Nam's photos. Shone has always loved Nam but never managed to pluck up
enough courage to tell her. Shone leaves his diary in front of Nam's
house.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Synopsis/Plot</b></span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The movie begins with two announcers, Bob Cutlass (voice of Bob Costas)
and Darrell Cartrip (Darrell Waltrip) preparing for the opening of the
Dinoco 400, the final race in the Piston Cup Series, the most famous and
prestigious race in the United States. So far this racing season, three
racers have emerged as the most likely candidates for the Piston Cup
Championship, all three of them tied for the season point's lead-<br /><br />*
Strip Weathers, AKA "The King" (voiced by seven-time Daytona 500 winner
Richard Petty; and modeled after Petty's 1970 Plymouth Superbird), a
longtime racing veteran who already has seven Piston Cups to his credit
and is rumored to be retiring at the end of the current season.<br /><br />*Chick
Hicks, another veteran racer (a 1980s Buick Regal, voiced by Michael
Keaton) and a longtime "second banana;" he's spent his entire racing
career coming in second behind The King.<br /><br />*Lightning McQueen, a
rookie (typical stock car, voiced by Owen Wilson) This is his first year
in the racing circuit and his performance has been nothing short of
incredible.<br /><br />Now, the final race of the season- to decide the winner of the Piston Cup- is about to begin!<br /><br />As
the race proceeds, Hicks (who is clearly willing to do anything to
succeed) sideswipes another car- causing the inevitable Big One (a
common term for any wreck in a NASCAR race that collects at least five
or more cars). Lightning is barely able to dart through the wreckage and
keep up with the lead cars. Then, to cement his hold on the lead,
McQueen stays out on the lead lap while everyone else pits. The
commentators mention that McQueen has recently fired his third crew
chief, offering the explanation that Lightning prefers to work alone.<br /><br />Throughout
the race, Lightning refuses to make complete pit stops- taking only a
few seconds each lap to refuel. The strategy backfires on the last lap
when his tires give out. McQueen makes a valiant effort to get across
the line first, but the race ends in an absolute dead heat.<br /><br />Reporters
interview Lightning while the judges argue over the result. McQueen
repeats again that he is a "one-man show." His pit crew, fed up with
Lightning's shoddy treatment, quit in the middle of the interview. Chick
and Lightning trade insults until The King comes over to have a word
with Lightning. The King tells McQueen that his talent is extraordinary,
but his attitude is stupid- Lightning can't win without a good team
behind him. Lightning's idea of a good team is Dinoco, the most
prestigious sponsor on the racing circuit (and The Kings' current
sponsor; Lightning is certain that if he wins the Piston Cup he will be
offered the chance at a Dinoco sponsorship.)<br /><br />An announcement
regarding the outcome of the race comes over the loudspeakers. Officials
declare that a tiebreaker race (between Chick, Lightning and The King)
will be held in California next week to determine the championship.<br /><br />Lightning
meets with his transporter, Mack (a 1980 Mack Super-Liner truck, voiced
by John Ratzenberger) after the announcement. Mack reminds McQueen that
he needs to make a personal appearance for his sponsor, Rust-Eze.
Lightning films a commercial for Rust-Eze and talks to a group of rusted
out vehicles brought to the personal appearance by Rusty & Dusty,
heads of the company (voiced by <i>Car Talk</i> hosts and brothers Tom
& Ray Magliozzi respectively). McQueen puts on a good face for the
crowd but is obviously unhappy working for a small-time group.<br /><br />On
the road with Mack, Lightning is desperate to be the first competitor
to arrive at California. He refuses to let Mack stop off and rest,
forcing him to drive on through the night. While on Interstate 40, Mack
is confronted by a gang of street racers while he is drowsy, who force
him onto the shoulder. The vibration from the rumble strips (designed to
alert drowsy drivers that they are drifting off the road) accidentally
causes a Lightning figurine to land on the button that opens the back
door of the truck, and causes the sleeping Lightning to fall out.
Lightning, terrified about being lost, desperately rushes to try and
find Mack but ends up leaving the highway at the next exit and following
a semi that he thinks is Mack but turns out to be a Peterbilt, who
rudely tells McQueen to turn on his headlights.<br /><br />While Lightning
is speeding, he gets lost in the dark country roads. He passes a police
car (Michael Wallis) who turns on his siren and chases after Lightning.
Lightning runs for it when he hears the police car backfiring (thinking
he is being shot at). Lightning loses control, spinning wildly and
becoming entangled in several power lines. He tears through a small town
and ends up shredding a large portion of the main road before finally
coming to a stop in front of the Sheriff.<br /><br />The next morning, Mack arrives at the track alone and a huge manhunt begins to try and find Lightning McQueen.<br /><br />Lightning
wakes up in an impound lot strapped with a parking boot and confronted
by a rusted tow truck named Mater (Larry the Cable Guy). Mater tells
Lightning that he is in the town of Radiator Springs, a spot just off
old U.S. Route 66. The Sheriff shows up to take McQueen to court for his
actions.<br /><br />The other citizens of Radiator Springs- Fillmore
(George Carlin), who owns a shop selling his own organic fuel; Luigi
(Tony Shalhoub) and Guido (Guido Quaroni), who run a tire shop; Ramone
(Cheech Marin), who runs a paint and body shop; Flo (Jenifer Lewis), who
runs a gas station/cafe; Sarge (Paul Dooley), a Humvee who sells
surplus; Lizzie (Katherine Helmond), an antiques dealer; and Red (Joe
Ranft), the town's fire truck - have all turned out to demand punishment
for McQueens' reckless driving, which caused a large amount of damage
to the town.<br /><br />The town's physician and judge, Doc Hudson (Paul
Newman), arrives to try McQueen's case. At first, Doc is ready to impose
serious hard time on the culprit but upon getting a close look at
Lightning orders him thrown out of town. A female interrupts the judge's
rulings, and McQueen is immediately smitten. But the newcomer, Sally
Carrera (Bonnie Hunt), a 2002 Porsche 911, is revealed to be the town
attorney. Sally persuades Doc to sentence McQueen to community service
and repair the damage to the road. Doc relents, telling McQueen that he
will be set free once the road is finished (which at his estimate should
take five days).<br /><br />When Mater brings out Bessie, the road-paving
machine, Lightning makes a break for it as soon as his parking boot is
undone. But Lightning only makes it a few miles out of town before he
breaks down. Sally & the Sheriff catch up with him, explaining that
they have siphoned Lightning's gas tank.<br /><br />The townsfolk watch as
McQueen begins repaving the road. Lightning tries to convince them of
his fame in the hopes of being set free. He almost convinces Luigi by
mentioning his status as a racecar, but Luigi loses interest soon after
(Luigi only cares about the Ferraris in Formula One racing, and dreams
of meeting one).<br /><br />Lightning, remembering the deal (he goes free
when the road is done) hauls the paving machine at full throttle,
running down the road and creating an uneven and bumpy finish. The
townspeople are insulted by his attitude and his work. Doc challenges
McQueen to a race- if Lightning wins, he goes off free. If Doc wins,
Lightning has to scape off the current layer of pavement and do the road
all over again. Lightning accepts, not seeing the Doc as a threat.<br /><br />At
a dirt course on the outskirts, Lightning rockets off the starting
line, but Doc doesn't even move. As he speeds into the first turn of the
course, Lightning's tires fail on the dirt and he crashes. Doc wins by
default. Lightning returns to work at scraping up the pavement,
grumbling the whole time. Several of the townsfolk offer Lightning their
services (Luigi sells tires, Fillmore supplies organic fuel, Ramone
offers custom paintjobs, etc.) but Lightning is too frustrated with his
situation to accept anything from them.<br /><br />Next morning, the road is
about 1/3 finished. Doc meets with the Sheriff, who confirms that
Lightning used up all the asphalt while working and spent the rest of
the night trying to make the turn that caused him to wreck the day
before. Doc confronts Lightning, suggesting that he "turn right to go
left." Lightning, extremely skeptical, tries it but goes off a cliff
again.<br /><br />Lightning resumes repaving the road when he suffers a slow
leak in one tire. Guido begins to fix it, and Luigi explains that Guido
dreams of working at a real racetrack pit stop. Sally, impressed by
Lightning's work and his effect on the town, offers McQueen a place at
the Cozy Cone motel rather than another night at the impound.<br /><br />The
Sheriff places Mater in charge of watching Lightning for the next
night. Mater takes McQueen out to a remote field, where they go
tractor-tipping, which involves creeping up to a tractor while it is
sleeping, then startling it, which causes the tractor to rear up on its
back wheels. Mater gives a demonstration of it, but is unable to tip
more than one tractor at a time. Lightning revs his engine and causes
every single tractor to tip over. They are almost caught by Frank, the
huge threshing machine who oversees the tractors, and have to speed
away.<br /><br />On the way back to town, Mater shows off his skills as
"world's best backwards driver" - a talent that stuns McQueen. Mater
proclaims Lightning to be his "best friend," and McQueen seems to be
genuinely touched by the affection.<br /><br />The next morning, Lightning
waits at Doc's garage to get his daily gas ration. While waiting, he
wanders into a dusty workshop belonging to Doc and finds several Piston
Cup trophies on the floor. A newspaper on the floor answers McQueen's
question- Doc is actually the legendary Hudson Hornet, a legendary
racecar who still holds the record for most wins in a single season (27
in 1952, which is also the number of NASCAR races won by Hudson Hornets
in 1952). Doc refuses to talk about his racing career, regarding the
Piston trophies as "just a bunch of empty cups."<br /><br />Sally takes
Lightning on a tour of the surrounding landmarks and explains the
history of the town. Route 66 used to be the main transportation road,
and Radiator Springs was once a famous stop along U.S. Route 66.
Radiator Springs was bypassed when Interstate 40 was constructed in
favor of saving ten minutes of travel time. Now the once thriving town
is floundering; almost nobody comes through there anymore.<br /><br />Unfortunately,
Lightning and Mater's actions of the previous night cause trouble when
the tractors start stampeding through the town. As he helps round them
back up, Lightning spots Doc on the race course outside of town. Doc
speeds through, easily making the turn Lightning couldn't. McQueen
confronts Doc about his racing and why (if he's so talented) Doc didn't
continue his racing career.<br /><br />Doc finally comes clean: He didn't
quit, but was forced into retirement after a terrible wreck forced him
to sit out an entire season. When he had the chance to return, the
sponsors passed him over to a hotshot rookie just like McQueen.<br /><br />The
next day everyone wakes up to find the road has been finished.
Lightning now has his chance to leave, but instead chooses to stay
behind and accept the services of the townsfolk - including new fuel
from Fillmore, tires from Luigi and a new paint scheme from Ramone. As
the town celebrates into the night over the completion of their new
road, a swarm of reporters and media vehicles swarm in to reclaim
McQueen. Before he can explain anything or talk to any of the townsfolk,
Lightning is loaded back onto Mack and sent off to California. Sally
learns that Doc was the one who alerted the media to Lightning's
location and is furious at his actions.<br /><br />Lightning arrives in
California and begins preparing for the big race, with Mack serving as
his pit crew. The King and Hicks get off to a decent start, but
Lightning's memories of Sally and his time in Radiator Springs are
interfering with his performance and cause him to lose his position.<br /><br />As
McQueen tries to pull himself together, Doc's voice comes out on
McQueen's radio. He and most of the other Radiator Springs residents
have come to encourage Lightning and serve as his pit crew, with Doc
serving as crew chief and decked out in his old paint scheme. Cameras in
the crowd spot Doc and recognize the legendary Hudson Hornet has come
out of retirement.<br /><br />Lightning rockets out of the pit area,
desperate to catch up to the others. As the laps wind down, Chick makes
contact with Lightning and causes him to spin out. Unfortunately, Chick
is not aware of the new tricks that Lightning has learned, and is
surprised when Lightning passes him, driving backwards. Hicks then tries
to force McQueen off the road-causing Lightning to blow a tire. Guido
prepares for Lightning's arrival, then completes the fastest pit stop in
Piston Cup history by speed-changing all four tires in under four
seconds single-handed, shocking the forklifts on Chick's pit crew such
that they drop their mustache-shaped grilles. Guido proudly tells off
Chick's crew saying "Peet stop!"<br /><br />The three racers are down to the
last lap as Lightning pulls into first place. Chick smashes Lightning
once again, sending him careening off the track. Lightning, however,
takes the lead by turning his tires hard to the right while sliding left
and reclaiming the lead position.<br /><br />Chick, in a desperate attempt
to win, sideswipes The King, sending him flipping multiple times through
the air and landing heavily battered and damaged on the infield (the
wreck itself is reminiscent of Petty's 1988 Daytona 500 crash).
Lightning screeches to a halt when he sees The King's state, remembering
what happened to Doc. Since Lightning stopped just before the finish
line, Chick Hicks speeds across for first place. Lightning goes back and
pushes The King the rest of the way to the finish line, letting the
famous competitor finish his last race with dignity. Lightning tells The
King that the Piston is "Just an empty cup," echoing Doc's sentiments.<br /><br />Chick
Hicks is given the Piston Cup. However, he is jeered and taunted by the
crowd for his actions, making it a hollow victory at best.<br /><br />Meanwhile,
Lightning is cheered and congratulated for his act of good
sportsmanship. Tex, head of the Dinoco company, offers Lightning a
sponsorship because of his fine job. Lightning considers, but decides to
stay with Rust-Eze because they gave him his big chance.<br /><br />Guido
and Luigi are dumbfounded when an actual Ferrari shows up at their
store, because McQueen said it is the best place in the world to get
tires. Lightning McQueen moves back to Radiator Springs and decides to
place his headquarters in the town, making the location famous once more
and having the maps redrawn as "Historic Route 66."<br /><br />A series of scenes during the credits show what happens to Radiator Springs afterwards:<br /><br />* Flo's V8 café is seen full of customers, while customers try Ramone's body art.<br /><br />*
A museum of Doc Hudson's racing days opens. We see The King and his
wife (who is appropriately voiced by Lynda Petty), as well as fellow
racecar Junior (voiced by Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and modeled after
Earnhardt's #8 car) in there.<br /><br />*Sarge opens a boot camp for
off-road vehicles (who have never been off-road), and orders one who
protests about getting dirty to drop and give him 20 miles.<br /><br />*In a
touch of poetic justice, the street racers who were responsible for
McQueen's dilemma are caught by Sheriff speeding near Radiator Springs.
They are locked into an impound lot and forced to pull Bessie themselves
as punishment.<br /><br />*The Radiator Springs Drive-In Movie Theater opens, and shows car versions of popular Pixar movies, including <i>Toy Car Story</i>, <i>Monster Trucks, Inc.</i>, and <i>A Bug's Life</i>.
The in-joke shown is that Mack is praising Hamm the piggy truck, the
Abominable Snowplow, and P.T. Flea - all of whom are voiced by John
Ratzenburger, like Mack. When Mack realizes this, he wonders what kind
of cut-rate production this is to reuse his voice.

<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Christmas has come and Scrat eyes a beaver assembling a cache of
foods, among them an acorn: Scrat sneaks in and takes the acorn, along
with others he finds in the area set up as decorations: he ties a large
stockpile of them on a piece of bark and tries to leave with them, but
they break out and leave him with nothing. Meanwhile, Manny brings the
Christmas Rock out of storage, to Ellie's delight: the rock is intended
as a surprise for Peaches, who comes sliding down a snow slope in a
snowball fight with Crash and Eddie. Manny reveals that the Christmas
Rock is the same one from his childhood, a family heirloom, and
important as it lets Santa Claus find them to deliver presents.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Diego and Sid step in to see the Christmas Rock, with Sid deriding
it. Manny will not let Sid near the Rock and Sid, to find his own means
of decorations, decides to find a different decoration and chooses a
tree. Crash and Eddie help him to decorate the tree with insects, small
animals and fish bones: to top the tree, Sid puts a star-shaped piece of
ice on the top, which is accidentally flung off and hits the Christmas
Rock, shattering it. Manny, furious at Sid, declares that Sid is on the
"Naughty List". Manny dismisses the idea of Santa to Ellie, which
Peaches overhears, and the young mammoth
is shocked that Manny does not believe in Santa. Sid, in tears that he
ruined the rock, slides downhill as his tears freeze solid.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Scrat finds an acorn half frozen in a pond and steps onto the
slippery surface to pull it out. After pulling it out successfully,
Scrat begins to ice skate with the acorn, going through a log, where he
misplaces the acorn and instead mistakenly holds onto a spider, which
attacks him. Meanwhile, Sid, feet still frozen, sulks about being on the
Naughty List until Peaches calls on him to snap out of it: she intends
to head to the North Pole with Sid, Crash and Eddie so as to convince
Santa Claus to take Sid off the Naughty List, along with Crash and
Eddie, who, despite their misdeeds, still want Christmas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The four set off to the North Pole by following the Northern Lights,
and move on until they reach a whiteout, which separates them for a
moment until they find one another and move on, led by Sid, who
mistakenly leads them off a cliff. As they fall, they are rescued by a
flying reindeer, who takes them to the other side of the cliff and
introduces himself as Prancer.
Sid thanks the reindeer and moves on before he nearly falls down the
cliff again and is caught by Peaches, who decides that the reindeer will
go with them. Back at the village, however, Manny attempts to patch up
the Christmas Rock with mud and sticks, to poor effect, when Ellie comes
along, calling out that she cannot find Peaches, Sid, Crash or Eddie.
Diego states that the four of them headed out to the North Pole to find
Santa; with that, Manny and Ellie move on to find Peaches and the
others, led by Diego, who tracks them by, reluctantly, picking up Sid's
scent.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Follows the unquenchably curious young reporter Tintin and his fiercely
loyal dog Snowy as they discover a model ship carrying an explosive
secret. Drawn into a centuries-old mystery, Tintin finds himself in the
sightlines of Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine, a diabolical villain who
believes Tintin has stolen a priceless treasure tied to dastardly pirate
named Red Rackham. But with the help of his dog Snowy, the salty,
cantankerous Captain Haddock and the bumbling detectives Thompson &
Thomson, Tintin will travel half the world, outwitting and outrunning
his enemies in a breathless chase to find the final resting place of The
Unicorn, a shipwreck that may hold the key to vast fortune - and an
ancient curse.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">From the high seas to the sands of North African
deserts, every new twist and turn sweeps Tintin and his friends to
escalating levels of thrills and peril, proving that when you dare to
risk everything, there's no limit to what you can do.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">__ Synopsis __</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After
having a caricature drawn of himself by a local artist, Tintin (Jamie
Bell) wanders through the town square. As he does so, he sees a
miniature ship in a glass case, being sold by a local merchant. The
miniature ship is called The Unicorn, and the merchant tells Tintin it
was procured from an old sailor's estate sale.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Tintin buys the
ship for 2 pounds, but just as he takes possession of it, a large man
with an American accent appears, wanting to buy the boat. He offers to
pay Tintin double what he paid for it, but Tintin refuses. The man
appears shaken, and rushes off, telling Tintin to 'get out while you
still can.'</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Just as he leaves, a thin man with a pointed beard
shows up, and also attempts to purchase the miniature ship. He tells
Tintin that the ship was purchased from the nearby Marlinspike Hall,
which he has come into acquiring, and wishes to purchase the ship to its
former home. Even though he tells Tintin to "name his price," the young
man again refuses, and walks off. As he leaves, the thin man asks the
merchant if he knows who the young man is. "Everyone knows who he is,"
says the merchant. "That's Tintin."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Returning to his apartment,
Tintin's curiosity around the miniature ship is piqued, and he attempts
to find a magnifying glass to examine it. However, a siamese cat enters
the apartment, causing his dog Snowy to chase it around the room. During
the chase, Snowy accidentally knocks the ship onto the floor, breaking
its masts. As Tintin picks it up, he doesn't see a small metal cylinder
fall out of the mast hole, and roll under the nearby table.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Wanting
more information, the two visit a maritime museum, where Tintin learns
that the ship sank at sea, carrying rum and tobacco, but it was assumed
that the ship (captained by Sir Francis Haddock), may have had a secret
cargo aboard. It also makes note that after the loss of his ship, the
captain believed that his family bloodline was now cursed.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Returning
to his apartment, Tintin is shocked to find that the model ship is
gone! Assuming that it may have been taken by the thin man at the town
square, Tintin sneaks into Marlinspike Hall. In a glass case, he finds a
ship, but is knocked unconscious. When he comes to, he finds the thin
man, and a butler. Tintin requests the return of his property, but is
soon surprised to find that though the miniature ship is of The Unicorn,
it is a different model, unbroken like his ship.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As he is escorted out, the butler tells Tintin that he should make sure to check for 'all the pieces' of the ship he had.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Returning
to his apartment, Tintin is further shocked to find his place
ransacked! Searching near the dresser where he placed the ship, he finds
the metal cylinder underneath. He soon finds that it contains a scroll,
with a message, and strange markings.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As he puts the strange
paper in his wallet, he hears his landlady Mrs Finch downstairs, arguing
with a man who wants to come inside. Tintin comes downstairs, and
through the chained front door, he finds that it was the American who
wanted to buy the ship earlier in the day. The man seems more nervous
than before, claiming that someone is killing others for information.
When Tintin asks who, bullets rip through the door, and the man falls
into the foyer, bleeding. Tintin rushes out into the street, just in
time to see a blue sedan speeding away.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Returning to the foyer, he finds the man unmoving, but a newspaper nearby has bloody fingerprints highlighting various letters.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The
next day, Tintin talks with the investigators of the murder, Thompson
and Thomson. They claim the man is named Barnady Doors, and was working
for the FBI. Tintin also tells of the newspaper he found, and that the
letters highlighted seem to spell out "Karaboujan."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As the two
investigators take leave, they caution Tintin about a pickpocket that's
been going around, and after they take leave of Tintin's apartment, they
have a small run-in with the pickpocket. He also bumps into Tintin, and
the young man panics when he realizes that the strange paper he had is
now gone! Thompson and Thomson vow to get his wallet back.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Returning
to his apartment, several large men are waiting for Tintin, and shove
him in a crate. Snowy follows his master aboard a large cargo ship,
named the Karaboujan.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Tintin is searched for the paper, and
encounters the thin man, who reveals his name to be Saccharine.
Saccharine claims he is looking for the paper Tintin had, and reveals
that he has another just like it. Tintin claims he doesn't have the
paper, and he and Snowy are locked up, as Saccharine and his men decide
what to do next.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Eventually, Tintin manages to escape through an
exterior porthole on the ship, to another room. There, he encounters
Captain Archibald Haddock (Andy Serkis). The Captain appears to be in a
drunken yet angry stupor over the mutiny of his crew to Saccharine.
Tintin agrees to help the Captain escape, and is surprised to find that
he is related to the Haddocks of Marlinspike hall.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Tintin tells
Haddock about the scroll he found, and the rumor that only a Haddock can
unlock the secrets of the Unicorn. Haddock claims his father told him a
story on his deathbed, but has since forgotten it. When Tintin inquires
about other relatives, Haddock claims that of three brothers, he is the
last of the family members. This sticks in Tintin's mind as they escape
the ship.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On their way off, Tintin passes by the radio room, and
overhears talk of 'The Milanese Nightingale,' and get coordinates to
the ship's next location: Bagghar.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Making their escape in a
lifeboat, Saccharine sends two of his men in a seaplane to find them.
Tintin manages to shoot the plane, damaging its engine, causing them to
land. The two pilots are then trussed up, and Tintin is able to repair
the plane, before he, Haddock, and Snowy pilot the plane towards
Bagghar. However, a storm over a desert area causes the plane to crash,
and the three find themselves walking across the desert.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In the
last throes of his alcoholic stupor, Haddock begins to hallucinate, and
the buried memory of his father's story comes to life.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Haddock
then begins to relate the story of his ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock,
Captain of the Unicorn. The ship was overtaken by pirates, led by a
red-scarfed captin known as Red Rackham. Though the Unicorn was said to
be carrying standard cargo, Rackham is sure there is more to the ship.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sir
Francis allowed Rackham into the secret hold which contained treasure,
but was incensed when Rackham went back on his word, and allowed the
crew to be devoured by sharks. Sir Francis then blew up the Unicorn, to
prevent Rackham from getting the treasure. Escaping the wreck, Sir
Francis was cursed by Rackham, who claimed they'd meet again, 'in
another time, in another place.'</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After hearing this story, the
three finally make it to Bagghar, where they are surprised to encounter
Thompson and Thomson, who have recovered Tintin's wallet, along with the
special paper.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">and enter the palace of Omar Ben Salaad, who is
said to have a miniature of the Unicorn. Also on hand, is a performance
by Bianca Castafiore, aka 'The Milanese Nightingale.' As her operatic
voice fills the air, the special glass case the Unicorn model is in
fractures, and Saccharine reacts, sending a falcon in to break open the
ship's mast, and steal the last of the scrolls.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A high-speed
chase through the city follows, with Tintin eventually giving in to
Saccharine's demands to give him the scrolls to avoid him drowning
Haddock and Snowy.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After the incident, Saccharine and his men
leave on the Karaboujan. Tintin is just about to give up, when he
realizes that being in the ship's messaging room, he knows its signal,
and they can report it to interpol, helping them track where it is
going.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The ship eventually enters port back where the adventure
started. It is here (through the use of another seaplane), Tintin,
Haddock, Snowy, and Thompson and Thomson are waiting to arrest
Saccharine.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">However, Saccharine pulls a gun on the group, before
getting into a nearby dock crane, and fighting Haddock in another, like
two men wielding cutlasses. It is during the duel, that Haddock realizes
that Saccharine is related to Red Rackham.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In the end, Saccharine gains the upperhand, and attempts to burn the three scrolls, before Tintin manages to recover them.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As
the sun rises over the docks, Tintin and Haddock line up the scrolls,
and see that they contain coordinates. Following them, they end up at
Marlinspike hall.

<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Manny becomes over-protective about his teenage daughter Peaches going
to the falls to see a teenage mammoth called Ethan. Manny's wife Ellie
calms him down and tells him that Peaches is not going to be his little
girl forever. Peaches, along with her best friend, a molehog named
Louis, go to the falls, but Manny stops them and takes Peaches home.
Meanwhile, Sid reunites with his family, but is abandoned again, with
his obnoxious Granny that wanders away, The Herd looks for her. Manny
catches Peaches with Louis heading to the falls; he finds her with Ethan
and Manny embarrasses Peaches in front of her friends Upset at Manny,
Peaches said that she wish Manny was never her father. Soon after, the
separation of the continents separates Manny from his family. Manny gets
stuck on a floating iceberg with Sid and Diego. A large moving landmass
drives Ellie, Peaches, and a herd of other animals towards a land
bridge, where Manny had told them to go.<br /><br />After Manny and his
friends survive a rough sea storm, they also find Granny, who was inside
a tree trunk on the same floating iceberg the entire time. Manny and
his friends are captured by a group of pirates, led by a Gigantopithecus
named Captain Gutt along with his first mate, a female saber-toothed
cat named Shira. Gutt and the pirate gang attempts to get Manny and his
friends to join their crew (by singing them a song to introduce Gutt
along the way), but they refuse. Gutt then attempts to make them walk
the plank, but they manage to escape, destroying the pirate ship in the
process. Gutt and the pirates are separated from Shira, and the pirate
crew worries about her, but Gutt leaves her for dead. Meanwhile, Shira
gets rescued by the herd.<br /><br />The herd reaches an island and when
they arrive Shira escapes, but Diego finally captures her. The herd
found a way home and the pirates, who force captive hyraxes to build a
new ice ship. Elsewhere on the same island the herd plans to steal the
ship and use it to get home. They find some free hyraxes and ask them to
help them steal the ship (thanks to Sid's communication), that night
they set up plan to steal the ship and free the captive hyraxes. The
next morning, the herd and the hyraxes' plot to steal the ship and free
the captive hyraxes was prepared.<br /><br />Shira later escapes and rejoins
the pirates, but finds herself being berated and called a failure by
Gutt for not trying to kill the herd and as punishment, he relieves her
of her position while giving it to Squint. The herd puts the plan into
action and successfully takes the ship and frees the hyraxes. Shira
captures Diego, he tells her she should join Manny and the herd, and
leave the pirates. She lets him go and buys them have some more time to
escape and help them prevented Gutt from catching them. After the herd
and the hyraxes leave freely, Gutt, quickly creates a new ship, by
breaking off a chunk of ice from a nearby ice wall and calls out for his
narwhals to propel it. He threatened Shira to be killed and so the
pirate gang sets out after the herd, determined to get revenge on Manny.<br /><br />Back
at the continent, Peaches visits an underground hideout with Ethan and
his group. To be accepted, she says she is not friends with Louis. Louis
overhears her, and he leaves heartbroken. Meanwhile Manny, Sid, Granny
and Diego, are on their way home, Diego worried about Shira, and Manny
and Sid figure out that Diego is in love. Soon enough, they encounter
sirens, depicted as sharp-toothed creatures who take the shape of loved
ones Diego sees Shira, Sid sees an attractive female sloth, Granny sees a
hunky surfer sloth ,forming a facial hair, and Manny sees Ellie and
Peaches. Fortunately, Manny realizes this and manages to steer the ship
away from the sirens.<br /><br />Ellie, Peaches, Louis, Crash, Eddie, and
the herd of other animals reach the land bridge, but find it to be
destroyed. Manny, and the gang finally reach home, and also find the
land bridge destroyed, but Manny happily finds Peaches. Much to their
horror, Gutt and his pirates have beaten them to the bridge, and
captured Ellie & Peaches. Manny attempts to turn himself in to Gutt
in exchange for the release of his family, but Gutt prepares to kill
Ellie and Peaches, as he still wants revenge on Manny. Louis comes to
their rescue. Gutt teased Lewis and tosses him a sword (smiler to the
one from third film to fight him, but Lewis is able to defeat him and
free Peaches with his own skills. The Battle stars, Sid and Granny are
saved by Granny's presumed "imaginary" pet, Precious, a gigantic whale,
and they defeat the pirate crew. Peaches defeats Gutt by using her
half-opossum skills and saves Ellie, causing Manny to realize that he
had been wrong about Peaches. Gutt recovers and engages Manny in a
fight, a landmass suddenly burst out of the ocean, causing a chunk of
the ship where Manny and Gutt were on to break and slide down the
landmass. Manny manages to defeat him by moving to the edge of the
iceberg, causing Gutt to soar upward, and finally, Manny smacks Gutt far
away with a log. The iceberg slips off the landmass, causing Manny to
fall off the iceberg. He is about to land into the ocean, but gets
rescued by Precious, Sid and Granny. Meanwhile, Gutt recovers, but finds
a siren disguised as a female Gigantopithecus, Gutt goes up to it and
gets killed.<br /><br />Manny reunites with his family and reconciles with
Peaches, Shira becomes Diego's girlfriend and joins the herd, Manny and
Diego tells Sid and Granny that there not screw-ups but a heros. Louis
also becomes a hero among the other Mammoths, and let him hang out with
them. With the continent being destroyed by the landmass the herd and
the other animals then find another continent (where the hyraxes have
also gone) which they accept as their new home with new beginnings.<br /><br />Scrat subplot<br /><br />Scrat's
goal for storing his acorn triggers the break-up of the Pangaea
landmass into the seven continents we know today, by falling in to the
Earth's inner core and chasing his acorn around it. This causes the land
on the earth's crust to break and separate into seven continents, Scrat
finally catches his an acorn and gets shot out of the earth's inner
core and lands on a small iceberg that breaks in two that separates
Scrat from his acorn.<br /><br />Scrat, lost at the sea, comes across an
island and finds a skeleton of a sabre-toothed squirrel. The skeleton
points towards an acorn-shaped map at the bottom of the ocean, which
leads to a mysterious acorn-filled island. Scrat decides to follow the
map and find the island. As he begins his journey, he is captured by the
group of pirates that capture Manny, Sid, Diego, & Granny but
manages to escape when the ship breaks in two.
Later, after the pirates gone after the herd for revenge, Scrat sets off
for his journey by trying to fly on one of the leaf-gliders, but he
gets pushed on an ice wall by the wind, but finally flies away.<br /><br />Later,
after the herd escaped the sirens Scrat meets a siren, which uses the
shape of Scratte, an old flame of his from the third film, but Scrat
turns away and ignores it. Then, the siren takes the shape of an acorn,
causing Scrat to hug it and attempt to bury it (which aggravates the
siren). Scrat is then attacked by the other sirens, but is able to get
away alive.<br /><br />Finally the film ends with Scrat completing his
journey and reaching the island on the map, Scratlantis (a parody of
Atlantis); a floating city filled with other sabre-toothed squirrels and
acorns. Scrat, excited and gleeful, grabs many acorns on the island in a
frenzy and eventually grabs a giant one used as a plug blocking a hole,
which causes the city to flood and sink, leaving Scrat in the middle of
a desert in North America.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Synopsis/Plot</b></span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ellie (Queen Latifah) and Manny (Ray Romano) are expecting their first
child, and Manny is obsessed with making life perfect and safe for the
family, since his first experiences as a husband and father went bad
when his family were killed by hunters. At the same time, Diego (Denis
Leary) finds himself unable to catch a cocky gazelle (Bill Hader) he has
been stalking and decides to leave the herd, believing that he is
losing his predatory nature as a tiger. Sid (John Leguizamo) grows
jealous of Manny and Ellie and adopts three apparently abandoned eggs
that he finds in an icy underground cavern and call them Eggbert,
Shelly, and Yoko. Manny tells him to put them back, but Sid instead
looks after the eggs, which hatch into baby Tyrannosaurus the next
morning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Although Sid tries his best to raise the three
dinosaurs, their rambunctious behavior scares away all the other animals
young and ruins a playground Manny built for Ellies baby. A female
Tyrannosaurus, Momma, whose eggs Sid stole, soon returns and carries
both Sid and her young underground, with Diego in pursuit. Manny, Ellie,
Crash, and Eddie (Seann William Scott, Josh Peck) follow as well and
discover that the icy cavern leads to a vast jungle populated by
dinosaurs thought to be extinct. Here, an Ankylosaurus threatens the
herd despite Diegos efforts to fend it off; they are saved from a
further crowd of angry reptiles by an insane, one-eyed weasel named
Buckminster, or Buck (Simon Pegg).<br /><br />Buck has been living in this
jungle for some time and is chasing Rudy (a huge albino Baryonyx),
intending to avenge the eye he lost to it. He agrees to lead the herd
through the jungles perils to Lava Falls, where Momma has taken Sid and
her babies. In the meantime, Sid and Momma try to outdo each other in
feeding the offspring; he loses this contest, but is soon welcomed into
the family regardless. The next day, however, Sid is separated from the
family and attacked by Rudy. Sid is knocked onto a loose rock slab that
is floating on a river of lava and about to plummet over the falls.<br /><br />As
the herd moves toward Lava Falls, Ellie goes into labor and a Guanlong
pack strikes, causing a rock slide that separates her from Manny and
Diego. Manny doubles back to protect her and Diego fends off further
attacks, while Buck takes Crash and Eddie ahead to rescue Sid. Just as
he goes over the falls, the trio swoops in on a commandeered Pteranodon
only to been chased by a flock of Quetzalcoatlus on the way and saves
his life. Manny reaches Ellie, and there is suddenly a reaction, the cry
of a newborn baby, then he sees that it is a girl. He wants to name her
Ellie, or Little Ellie, but Ellie instead names her Peaches after the
fruit (and the codeword they had chosen for Ellie to use if she went
into labor during the trip). Sid is saddened at the fact that he never
had a chance to say goodbye to "his" children as he returns to the herd
and learns of Peaches' birth.<br /><br />Before they can exit the jungle,
Rudy attacks at full force; Buck lures Rudy away from the group and is
nearly eaten himself, before Diego saves him at the last second. They
then ensnare him briefly, but he escapes and resumes his onslaught. The
herd is saved by the timely arrival of Momma, who charges at Rudy and
knocks him off a cliff before roaring her victory. As she and her
children wish Sid well, Buck now without a purpose in life since Rudy is
gone decides to join the herd and live on the surface. However, a
distant roar tells him that Rudy is still alive; he changes his mind and
sends the herd home, blocking off the path to the underground jungle at
the same time so that no one else can go down there. Manny and Ellie
welcome Peaches into their frozen world and admit that Sid did a good
job looking after Momma's children (though Manny tells Diego that he
will never let Sid babysit Peaches). Diego decides to remain with the
herd, while Buck stays where he wants to be: underground, battling it
out with Rudy.<br /><br />Scrat and Scratte<br /><br />Like the previous Ice Age
films, the film opens with the saber-toothed squirrel Scrat (Chris
Wedge), who does everything he can to retrieve his precious acorn. This
time, he falls in love with his female counterpart Scratte (Karen
Disher), with the song "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" by Lou
Rawls playing in the background, but an acorn appears instead after the
music stops. The two fight over the acorn with Scratte is flung off the
ground. As Scrat tries to save her, the two hold onto the acorn and the
music starts back. Suddenly, she demonstrates her ability to glide like
a flying squirrel, leaving Scrat falling to the ground. The two
eventually fall in love after Scrat saves her from falling to her death
in the lava river while she is unconscious. He even chooses to focus his
attention on her instead of the acorn until the end of the film, when
he tires of her finicky nature and reverts to his old ways. The ensuing
fight between the couple leads to a volcanic explosion that hurls Scrat
and the acorn back to the surface, leaving Scratte trapped underground.
However, as Scrat is about to enjoy his acorn, a stray piece of ice
falls on him and knocks the acorn back into Scratte's hands. He screams
in frustration, having lost both his acorn and Scratte.

<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In the opening scene, Scrat, the saber-toothed squirrel climbs a glacier to bury his acorn, but accidentally opens a hole in it, causing water to spurt out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The world of ice is slowly melting. The creatures of the Ice Age are
all shown enjoying themselves on slides and pools made by the melting
ice; among them the three protagonists of the first film: Manny, Sid, and Diego.
Sid opens a small day camp, where none of the younger creatures take
him seriously, nor do Manny and Diego, which leaves Sid seeking a daring
deed. Fast Tony, a local con artist
is claiming that the earth will flood and that the bark and reeds which
he sells are needed to stay alive. Manny dismisses the idea, but is
distracted when he sees that Sid will try to high dive from a giant
waterfall; as Manny goes with Diego to the top of the waterfall to save
Sid from his act of daredevilry, suddenly the ice under Diego's feet was
breaking, causing him to bolt in fear,this also made Sid figure that
Diego is afraid of the water. The herd figure that the pleasant weather
has caused the ice shelves to melt, and it is kept from destroying the
valley only by the glaciers, which have formed a dam.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A lone vulture warns the animals that a giant tree can act as a boat
and save them if they make it to the end of the valley within three days
time, and all soon set out to find it. As the animals begin their
journey, Sid sings three songs to tease Manny about Mammoths being
"extinct". During the evacuation, a glacier which contains two sea
reptiles from the Mesozoic era, Cretaceous and Maelstrom, breaks off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When Manny briefly is separated from them, Diego and Sid encounter two mischievous opossums named Crash and Eddie who drive them nuts by playing whack-a-mole with them. Manny is depressed about being the last mammoth alive and his family, which has been killed in by humans, but is surprised when he encounters Ellie, a female mammoth who believes she is an opossum
and Crash and Eddie's sister. Sid invites her to tag along with the
group to escape the flood, and she brings her brothers. After a perilous
ordeal with Cretaceous and Maelstrom while crossing a pond, Sid prompts
Diego to encourage him to admit and face his fears - Diego insists that
"fear is for prey", so Sid points out that Diego is behaving as if he
is the water's prey. They discover an area which Ellie recalls as the
place where she was adopted. She finally realizes she is a mammoth but
distances herself from Manny when he suggests "saving their species".
Ellie and Manny ultimately make up when they must co-operate to save the
group when the ground cracks under their feet. Sid is kidnapped by a
tribe of mini-sloths who believe Sid to be a god. Sid lights a fire for
them, and believes that he has finally found respect, but they plan to
sacrifice him by tossing him into a volcano.
Sid narrowly escapes. The next morning, Sid tells the others his
experience but none are convinced. They find a field of hot geysers,
which separate Manny, Sid, and Diego from Ellie and her brothers when
they argue about which way to go through it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When the flood comes, Manny saves Ellie from drowning as she is
caught in a cave (due to falling rocks), while Diego overcomes his fear
of water to save Sid. Cretaceous and Maelstrom arrive, but due to
Manny's quick thinking, they are finished off by a rock which falls on
them, killing them both. The other animals are at the mercy of the water
currents. Meanwhile, Scrat climbs up the glacier and at the top sticks
the acorn he has into the ice. This forms a crack in the glacier, which
widens into a fissure,
diverting the flood and saving the animals. Scrat is then washed away.
In the final scene, a herd of mammoths shows up, but Manny and Ellie
decide to remain together anyway, taking Sid, Diego, and the opossum
brothers along. Sid encounters the mini-sloths again - they believe Sid
stopped the flood and invite him to be their leader. Diego, surprised
to see the mini-sloths are real, convinces Sid to stay with the others,
reluctantly admitting that Sid is a vital part of their 'herd'. The epilogue shows Scrat having a near death experience after falling into the fissure. He enters a heaven
full of acorns. Suddenly, he finds himself torn away. He unhappily
wakes up, having been resuscitated by Sid, who he proceeds to viciously
attack.</span></div>

<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The film begins with a saber-toothed squirrel (known as Scrat) who is
trying to find somewhere to store his prized acorn. Eventually, as he
tries to stomp it into the ground, he causes a large crack in the ground
that extends for miles and miles and sets off a large avalanche. He
barely escapes, but finds himself stepped on by a herd of prehistoric
animals. The animals are trying to avoid the ice age by migrating south, except for Manfred, an agitated mammoth who is heading north. Sid, a clumsy <i>Megalonyx</i> sloth left behind by his family, decides to go on by himself and angers Carl and Frank, two <i>Brontops</i> by ruining their <i>salad</i>
and is attacked. Sid is soon saved by Manfred, who fights them off. Not
wanting to be alone and unprotected, Sid follows Manfred.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Meanwhile, Soto, the leader of a <i>Smilodon</i>
pride wants revenge on a group of humans by eating the chief's baby
son, Roshan, alive. Soto leads a raid on the human camp, during which
Roshan's mother is separated from the rest and jumps down a waterfall
when cornered by Soto's lieutenant, Diego. For his failure, Diego is
sent to find and retrieve the baby. Sid and Manfred spot Roshan and his
mother near the lake, having survived her plunge. The mother only has
enough strength to trust her baby to Manfred before she disappears.
After much persuasion by Sid, they decide to return Roshan but when they
reach the human settlement, they find it deserted. They meet up with
Diego, who convinces the pair to let him help by tracking the humans.
The four travel on, with Diego secretly leading them to his pack for an
ambush.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">While having small adventures on their way, they reach a cave with
several drawings, drawn by humans where Sid and Diego learn about
Manfred's past and his previous interactions with the humans, in which
his wife and son were killed, leaving Manfred a cynical loner. Later
Manfred, Sid, Diego and Roshan were almost to Half-Peak, but encounter a
river of lava.
Manfred and Sid, along with Roshan, make it safely but Diego struggles,
about to fall into the lava. Manfred rescues him narrowly missing a
fall into the lava himself. The herd takes a break for the night and
Roshan takes his first walking steps to Diego.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The next day the herd approach the ambush, causing Diego to confess
to Manfred and Sid about the ambush, and tells them to trust him. The
herd battles Soto's pack and a short fight ensues. As Soto closes in for
the kill on Manfred, Diego leaps and stops Soto, who wounds Diego in
the process. Manfred knocks Soto into a rock wall, causing several sharp
icicles to fall on Soto, killing him. Manfred and Sid leave Diego on
his insistence and take Roshan back to his tribe. So Manfred and Sid
manage to return the Roshan to his father, and Diego rejoins them. The
group begins to head off to warmer climates.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">20,000 years later Scrat is frozen in an ice cube that washes up on
the shore of a tropical island. The sun slowly melts the cube, bringing
Scrat back to life but the acorn, which is just out of his reach, ends
up being washed away by the tide. Scrat then explodes out of the ice
cube in anger and hits his head repetitively on a tree, which drops a coconut.
Believing it to be a giant acorn, Scrat's anger immediately turns to
glee at this new find. He tries to pack it into the ground as he did
previously with his other acorns, but in the process causes a large
crack in the ground that makes its way up the side of a volcano and
causes it to erupt.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Synopsis/Plot</b></span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The opening credits show the sky filled with clouds, and then large
amphibian-looking whale creatures soar through the sky. The view then
transitions to the ground, which is teaming with all kinds of strange
wildlife.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Outside is a man is teaching a child to play ball.<br /><br />Then
a voice-over occurs, contrasting two lands. The Lokni and the Nohrin
are two different types of people that inhabit the land. The Lokni are
ground dwelling humanoids that are bald and vaguely reptilian. The
Nohrin are similar to the Lokni, but they have wings and are somewhat
more mammalian-looking.<br /><br />The lands that the Nohrin come from have
become increasingly inhospitable and the Nohrin King Zahn (Louis Gossett
Jr.) was able to make a deal with the Lokni to settle in their land of
Jhamora. However, as their land becomes less and less habitable, more
Nohrin have to relocate at eventually, there is not enough room in
Jhamora for them. The leaders of Jhamora refuse to let any more Nohrin
enter. The Kings sister, Sedessa (Anna Bancroft) takes this conflict as
an excuse to lead a bloody struggle to claim Jhamoran land without the
Kings consent, slaughtering innocent Lokni people and starting a war.
For this crime, the King strips Sedessa of her title, and takes away her
status in the royal family. At night, Sedessa attempts to kill the king
with poison, and is able to poison the queen before her plans are
foiled when a baby Princess Kyla (Jennifer Love Hewitt) cries out. For
this act of treason, the King has Sedessas wings cut (removed), and
exiles her to the badlands while the remainder of the Nohrin move to
Jhamora to live alongside the Lokni.<br /><br />15 years later<br /><br />Sedessa
appears to have grown new wings, but its just prosthetics; she misses
the wings that have been cut from her, and has a large wall of fake
wings that she wears. Outside her chambers, her lead henchmen are busy
drinking and fighting. Meeting her underlings, she has decided to fire
them and take control of their armies after they had consolidated the
various tribes and brought them together to serve her. She gives an
order to engineer Prando who flips a switch, and a cage encircles the
lead henchmen, and lowers them into a red pit, presumably to their
deaths.<br /><br />Then switch to two guys riding on lizard creatures
through a desert valley. One goads the other into racing through the
canyons. The race startles a large number of wild creatures (think
buffalo stampede) and the two continue their race among the creatures.
One of the two young men jumps from creature to creature and seems close
to winning, but falls off the edge of a cliff. The young man who fell
over is Delgo (Freddie Prinze Jr.) and his friend, Filo (Chris Kattan)
thinks that he is dead, and starts to dramatically mourn his death.
Suddenly, Delgos voice is heard, and Marlow looks over the edge to see
that Delgo is hanging to a tree branch. Trying to help, Marlow
accidentally sets off a combustible plant and sets the tree on fire, and
he runs off to get help.<br /><br />Up above, a Nohrin female with wings
flies by and offers to help. Delgo refuses due to hostilities between
their peoples. Delgo falls and the woman rescues him. Filo shows up soon
after, but before they can even catch their breath, a Nohrin general
tackles Filo and Delgo. Apparently, the female is Princess Kyla
(Jennifer Love Hewitt) and by going near the Lokni (Delgo and Filo), she
has violated the conditions of a truce between the two peoples. Kyla
complains that all she did was help someone who was in danger, and if it
wasnt for General Bogardus (Val Kilmer) over-reacting, things would
have been ok, but the King wont budge. The princess storms off.<br /><br />Back
on land, Delgo is at a school of some sort, where they are learning to
manipulate stones and fire. Elder Marley (Michael Clarke Duncan)
attempts to teach these techniques to Delgo, but Delgo would rather
learn more neat tricks, Marley insists that they are all learning the
same thing, to control the stones. Delgo just throws the stone instead
to hit the target, much to Marleys disappointment.<br /><br />At night,
rumors are being spread that Nohrin soldiers have attacked innocent
Lokni boys (Delgo and Filo), which orginal occurred out of
misunderstandings. Several Nohrin soldiers are shown gambling,
interspersed with scenes of progressing aggression towards Nohrin
people. The soldiers hear the commotion and go outside to see that Lokni
civilians are being very hostile to the local Nohrin people, trashing
shots and vandalising property. The Nohrin soldiers report back to the
Nohrin king to relay the nights events. Colonel Raius (Malcolm McDowell)
sees this as an act of war, while General Bogardus does not want to fly
off the handle and risk another war, since he has lost many friends in
the last war with the Lokni.<br /><br />The King turns to Gelmore (Don
Stallings) for advice, who responds that they cannot leave the acts of
aggression unanswered, causing the King to step up military actions.<br /><br />Outside,
Princess Kyla is in the garden, and being stocked by a crocodile like
creature. Delgo comes upon the scene and is able to injure it and scare
it off. Princess Kyla apologizes to Delgo for General Bogardus assault
the other day. Kyla has lost her mothers brooch, which has much
sentimental value to her. As she leaves, Delgo promises to help her find
it, and arranges to meet her there the next day.<br /><br />Up near
Sedessas floating lair, Colonel Raius arrives to talk to Sedessa. The
colonel is obviously in love with Sedessa, and reports the information
he has to her. The colonel notes that Bogardus is getting in the way as
he is against war with the Lokni. Sedessa notes that the colonel will
find a way.<br /><br />Outside the castle, Bogardus is trying to get a loan
(he has a gambling problem), and the loan shark persuades the general
into stealing weapons from the armory to use as collateral. This turns
out to be a setup by the colonel, who then tells the King and gets
Bogardus arrested. After imprisonment, Bogardus realises that hes been
setup by the colonel.<br /><br />Back in Lokni territory, the Colonel has
gone to the Stone Sage Sanctuary (the magic school), and starts
destroying all the magical stones. Delgo arrives the next day and is
furious. Marley tells Delgo to calm down and begins repairing the
sanctuary. Delgo is still angry, and charges off for vengeance, which
disappoints Marley greatly.<br /><br />The newly promoted colonel, now a
general visits Sedessa who is very anxious to restart the war. Raius is
apprehensive since the punishment for treason is severe.<br /><br />Back at
the Nohrin castle, Kyla is trying on new clothes before meeting with
Delgo, obviously smitten with Delgo. Inside a crystalline cave, Delgo is
trying to impress Kyla, and is able to return her brooch to her. Kyla
is sad as the brooch reminds her of her mother; this causes Delgo to
reveal that he is an orphan of the war. Kyla believes that everyone
should just move on, but Delgo cant let it go, and is infuriated as he
blames the Nohrin for the death of his parents and the recent occurrence
of violence in Jhamora. Delgo realizes his mistake, but its too late,
Kyla has already left. As Kyla leaves, the General chases after her and
knocks her out with a dart, then goes to the King and blame the princess
kidnapping on Delgo. The King orders for Delgos capture.<br /><br />Back in
his home, Delgo is having a dream about his childhood playing
hide-and-seek with his parents, just as Nohrin soldiers break through
the door and slaughter his parents. Delgo hears Sedessas voice, ordering
her soldiers to slaughter the villagers. Delgo awakens, and looks at
the ball he used to play with as a child, but its not long before Nohrin
troops charge in to arrest him. At the Nohrin castles dungeon, Delgo
and Filo are interrogated regarding Kylas whereabouts they know nothing,
but no one believes them.<br /><br />Back in Sedessas lair, Kyla is locked in a cage, trying to escape.<br /><br />In
the dungeon, Delgo is left in an adjacent cell to Bogardus, who accuses
Delgo of capturing Kyla. Delgo tells Bogardus that the last time he saw
Kyla was when she was leaving, and saw a soldier ride after her on a
white razorwing (a pterodactyl-like creature). Bogardus recognizes the
white razorwing as belonging to Raius.<br /><br />Back in Sedessas lair,
Kyla is brought to her presence, who recognizes her as the person who
killed her mother. Kyla says that her father will send men to find her,
only to have Sedessa reveal that Raius is working for her.<br /><br />In the
dungeon, Delgo is prying through cage locks to free himself and Filo;
he opens the cage, but is still unable to go anywhere since the cage is
suspended hundreds of meters from the ground. Delgo strikes a deal with
Bogardus who agrees to help. Delgo swings his cage over to Bogarduss and
struggled to open his cage. As this is happening, a guard walks in and
sees Delgo and Bogardus in the same cage, but simple assumes that
nothings wrong.<br /><br />At the castle, The King believes that he has no
choice, and makes an ultimatum to the Lokni. The Lokni council have no
choice but to declare war since they dont have the princess and cant
possible give in to the Kings demands. The elders vote and Marley votes
against war, but he is outnumbers, and war is declared.<br /><br />Back with
Delgo, Filo, and Bogardus, the trio is attempting to find an exit at
the bottom of the dungeon. Delgo uses his knowledge of the local animal
life to find a tunnel but has little success until Filo gets a spider
down his pants, freaks out, and runs into a fragile wall, which exposes a
tunnel out. Unfortunately, the tunnel was made by a Yag (a large crab
like creature), Bogardus and Delgo attempt to fight it off. Bogardus is
about to get eaten, but Delgo holds the Yags offspring hostage and leads
the mother Yag off into the tunnels and causing it to flip over and end
up helpless.<br /><br />Having escaped to the surface, Bogardus is
determine to find the princess but refuses Delgos help since he cannot
fly. Delgo says he can help by riding one of the razorwings, which
Bogardus helps him procure.<br /><br />At the castle, Raius receives a
letter by a carrier creature, and sends one back to Sedessa. Bogardus
and Delgo decide to follow it to find Kyla.<br /><br />At the lair, Sedessa
rises up on a podium to address her troops. She then brings in Kyla,
strapped into a Nohrin banishment table, which Sedessa will use to cut
off Kylas wings. After this ceremony, Sedessa will lead her troops into
battle. In the background, Delgo, Bogardus, and Filo attempt to sneak in
and rescue the princess. Bogardus and Delgo debate on who should save
Kyla, but the guards come in and Bogardus must defend against them,
giving Delgo the chance to rescue Kyla. Things are going well until Filo
accidentally knocks things over, causing enough noise to alert
everyone.<br /><br />Delgo is able to evade the guards and manages to climb
onto the pedestal and save release Kyla from her chains. They have a
quick moment together before more troops arrive. Bogardus jumps in to
hold them off and the two flee. Once outside, Delgo convinces Kyla to
fly off to warn her father of Raius treachery and end the war.
Meanwhile, Delgo is being pursued throughout the lair.<br /><br />While Kyla
is riding off to return to her father, she is being pursued by Sedessas
engineer Prando. She flies through a field of floating rocks to evade
him but Prando is close. Kyla is about to fall off until Bogardus flies
in to pull her up, and then turns his attention to Prando.<br /><br />At the
lair, Delgo uses his limited stone controlling powers to distract the
guards long enough to jump onto one of the flying whale-barges and
escapes. The whale-barges are on their way towards the battle field.<br /><br />Back
with Bogardus and Prando, the fight is not in Bogardus favour as Prando
has all kinds of nasty tricks in his helicopter-thing. Luckily, Filo
crashes into Prando and distracts him long enough for Bogardus to
sabotage the helicopter, causing Prando to crash to the ground.<br /><br />While
all this is happening, there is a massive battle between the Lokni and
the Nohrin, both sides are equally matched. Kyla arrives at the castle
to warn her father, but its too late, he has already left for the
battlefield. She tells Gelmore that the Lokni are not responsible for
her kidnapping, who says he will send a messenger. Kyla insists that she
go too, but then figures out that Gelmore has been paid off by Raius;
she knocks him out and heads for the battlefield.<br /><br />Just as the two
armies are exhausting themselves, Sedessas troops arrive to take
advantage. Delgo is aboard one of the vessels and is trying his best to
sabotage Sedessas forces. At a forward encampment, Sedessas goons have
been sent to capture the king, while Sedessa makes her way back to the
castle to claim the throne. While Raius gloats to the king, Bogardus
charges in with Filo; Bogardus fights off the soldiers while Filo is
sent to release the King.<br /><br />Outside, Delgo is rescued by Kyla on a razorwing.<br /><br />Bogardus
and Raius continue their duel and appear evenly matched until Raius
gets in a lucky shot and knocks Bogardus down. Bogardus tosses up the
shiny charm he had hocked earlier and while Raius is distracted,
Bogardus kills him.<br /><br />Kyla and Delgo arrive at the camp to discover
that Filo was not able to save the King, just then; one of Sedessas
soldiers tries to kill Delgo with a crossbow, but hits Bogardus instead
when he jumps in to block the shot.<br /><br />At the castle, Sedessa has the King, in captivity and she berates him for letting their people weaken with the peace.<br /><br />Delgo
is infuriated at the death of Bogardus, but is brought back to reality
by Kyla. Delgo figures out a plan, and sends Kyla to contact the Nohrin
troops. At the castle, Sedessa thinks that Raius has returned, but
instead, its Delgo arriving to save the King. Delgo cannot defeat
Sedessas lead minion, but is able to use his powers to cause a
chandelier to crash downwhich does nothing and Delgo gets the daylights
beaten out of him.<br /><br />Filo, with instructions from Delgo, starts a
stampede (similar to the beginning of the film). At this moment, Kyla
gets the Nohrin troops to pull back, as well as rescue the Lokni,
allowing Sedessas minions to be trampled by the buffalo.<br /><br />Thinking
that Delgo has been defeated, Sedessa and her minions ignore him just
long enough for him to concentrate and use his powers to bring down the
castle wall, taking out her guards and knocking Sedessa over a cliff.
Sedessa please for help, and remembering Marleys teachings, Delgo offers
to help Sedessa. Kyla arrives and tries to help Delgo rescue the king.<br /><br />Sedessa
climbs up and stabs Kyla in the chest, but her knife is blocked by
Kylas brooch and she is unharmed. Sedessa backs off and falls through a
newly formed hole in the ground, and without wings, falls to her death.<br /><br />The
battle outside is now over as Sedessas treachery is revealed. Raius,
still alive, attempts to kill Delgo, but is stopped and arrested.
Everyone is witness to Delgo and Kylas kiss and peace is achieved once
again. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The spirit of winter, Jack Frost
(Chris Pine), is lifted with no previous memory from the depths of a frozen
pond by the Man in the Moon, only to discover that no one can see or touch him.
Three-hundred years later, at the North Pole, Nicholas St. North, better known
as Santa Claus (Alec Baldwin), becomes aware that Pitch Black, the Boogeyman
(Jude Law) has returned and is threatening the children of the world. After
alerting fellow Guardians the Tooth Fairy/Toothiana (Tooth for short) (Isla
Fisher), the Easter Bunny/E. Aster Bunnymund (Hugh Jackman), and the Sandman
(Sandy for short) to the problem, North learns that Jack has been selected by
the Man in the Moon as the new recruit. Jack, frustrated and hurt by centuries
of isolation, declines the invitation, but North persuades him to cooperate by
explaining their mission and the looming threat.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Meanwhile, Pitch and his
nightmare minions have raided Tooth's palace, taking all of the children's
teeth and the memories stored within. He also captures Toothiana's helper
fairies, but a single fairy, Baby Tooth, who is rescued by Jack. Resentful that
he himself is not believed in, Pitch plans to destroy children's faith in the
Guardians and thereby weaken them by preventing Toothiana from doing her work.
To avert this, the Guardians travel the world collecting teeth, promising Jack
that when they find Pitch, they will help him regain his own baby teeth, and
through them the memories of his past life. On the expedition, a young boy
named Jamie (Dakota Goyo) is delighted to discover the Guardians in his room;
he believes in all of them except for Jack, whom he can't see. Pitch learns of
the Guardians' resistance and attacks Jack and Sandy; despite Jack's efforts to
save him, Sandy is overwhelmed by Pitch and seemingly destroyed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The dejected Guardians next rally
by helping Bunnymund prepare his eggs for Easter. Although slightly complicated
by the intrusion of Jamie's sister, Sophie, the preparation goes smoothly. Jack
takes Sophie home, but on the return trip he discovers the entrance to Pitch's
lair, where Tooth's fairies and the teeth are being held. Pitch keeps him
distracted with the promise of his teeth's memories while nightmares raid
Bunnymund's domain, shattering all of the eggs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Unable to face the disappointed
Guardians, a despondent Jack departs in disgrace to Antarctica. There, Pitch
tempts him to join forces, but Jack refuses, claiming that he does not want to
be feared. In retaliation, Pitch threatens to kill Baby Tooth unless Jack
relinquishes the source of his power, his staff. Pitch breaks the staff, and he
throws both Jack and Baby Tooth down into an ice crevasse, where Baby Tooth
convinces Jack to unlock his memories in an attempt to counter his despair.
Long ago, his memories teach him, he was a mortal teen who died saving his
little sister from falling through the ice of the pond in which he awakened at
the movie's start. Because of that sacrifice, the Man in the Moon changed him
into a spirit and chose him as a Guardian. Inspired by the revelation, Jack
restores his staff and returns to help the Guardians.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Due to the power of Pitch's nightmares,
only one child still believes: Jamie. Jack races to the boy first and confirms
Jamie's faith in the Guardians, but by creating snow in Jamie's room, he causes
the boy to believe that Jack Frost is real. Jamie is finally able to see him,
much to Jack's delighted surprise. The weakened Guardians arrive to confront
Pitch, while Jamie gathers his friends to support them. Pitch's seemingly
overwhelming power proves no match against the children's faith, which allows
the Guardians to battle the Boogeyman. Sandman is resurrected by this belief
and joins the fight, leaving Pitch defeated, the children's faith restored, and
Jack with believers of his own. Pitch is conquered by his own fear, and the
nightmares drag him away into his lair for good.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At this victory, Jack accepts his
place as a Guardian and resolves to protect the world's children with his new
friends.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Synopsis/Plot</b></span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In a prologue, we see Lord Fergus and Lady Elinor in a forested area,
celebrating the birthday of their young daughter, Merida. Though Elinor
happily plays with Merida, she grows perturbed when Fergus gives the
little girl her own bow and set of arrows.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As Merida tries to hit
a target, one of the arrows sails off into the forest nearby. Merida
runs off and retrieves it, but soon encounters a glowing blue
willo-the-wisp. Going back to her parents, she tells what she saw, and
her mother explains that they can lead a person to their destiny.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Suddenly,
the mood is broken as an enormous black bear enters the camp grounds.
Merida and her mother quickly take leave as Lord Fergus and his men
fight against the bear.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Time passes, and we see that Lord Fergus
has lost his leg to the bear. In the time that has passed, Lady Elinor
has given birth to three mischievous boys (triplets), and Merida is now a
teenager. While her mother wants her to be proper, Merida is moreso
intent on practicing archery, and journeying off in the forest.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One
evening, a messenger brings word that the 3 neighboring clans have
accepted the offer to fight for Merida's hand in marriage. Naturally,
the young woman is not at all happy with this situation. Elinor explains
to her daughter that the clans must be kept in harmony, or chaos may
reign. She relates the story of how the clans were descended from four
brothers, but one of them wanted more power than the others, and caused
the balance of power to crumble. Even so, this does little to quell
Merida's resentment of the betrothal.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The three clans soon
arrive, and Lords MacGuffin, Macintosh, and Dingwall arrive with each of
their sons. Per tradition, each of the first-born of the clans will
fight in the event that the Princess chooses. This causes Merida to perk
up, and she eagerly suggests archery.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When it comes to the
sport, almost none of the sons are good at the sport, but everyone is
shocked when Merida appears before everyone, claiming that since she's a
first-born as well, she'll be 'fighting for her own hand.' Elinor
demands Merida stop, but she defies her mother, and makes a bulls-eye on
each of the targets.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Naturally, Elinor feels angry and
humiliated at this, and both mother and daughter have a heated
conversation in her room later on. Merida claims she does not want to be
like her mother, and in anger, slashes a tapestry depicting the family,
slicing a hole between her and her mother in the piece.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Upset by
this as well, Elinor loses her temper, and throws Merida's bow in a
fireplace nearby. Upset by this, Merida flees the castle. Unseen by
Merida, her mother regrets what she has done a few moments later, and
manages to retrieve the bow from the fire.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Merida flees to the
forest, where she comes across a circle of stones, and several
willo-the-wisps. Following them, she finds a small cottage inhabited by
an old woman. The old woman claims she is just a wood carver, but Merida
soon realizes she's actually a witch, when she notices an enchanted
broom, and the woman's crow (which can talk!).</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Merida eagerly
asks for a spell to change her mother, but the witch refuses, claiming
she did a spell once before, and regretted it. However, Merida gets her
to reconsider when she agrees to purchase all her wood carvings. The
offer is too much to resist, and the witch brews a concoction that
produces a small pie. Merida is instructed to give it to her mother, and
she eagerly ruses off to do so.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Returning to the castle, King
Fergus is doing his best to quell the Lords after the events of the
tournament. Merida encounters her mother in the kitchen, and eagerly
gives her the pie, but after one bite, Elinor claims she does not feel
well.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Merida happily leads her to her chambers, but soon her
happiness that her mother will change turns to shock...when her mother
turns into a black bear!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Knowing that King Fergus will surely
kill Elinor, Merida enlists the aid of her brothers to distract Fergus
and the Lords, while she sneaks her mother out of the castle, and back
into the forest.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The two manage to find the witch's hovel, but
find it is now empty. A message left for Merida tells that the Witch has
gone away until the next Spring, and that the spell will become
permanent within 2 sunrises. However, if Merida wants to reverse the
effects, she has heed some specific words, in regards to 'mending.'
Merida is unsure just what this means, and the two sleep in the woods
that evening, before having breakfast in the morning.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Merida
manages to catch some fish for her mother, but when her mother demands
more, Merida tells her mother she will need to catch them herself. The
mother and daughter bond over this method, but when her mother wanders
off into the woods, Merida chases after her. However, upon finding her,
her mother suddenly attempts to attack Merida, before returning to
normal. With less than 24 hours, it seems that if they do not find a way
to reverse the spell, Elinor will lose her humanity, and become a bear
forever!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As they wander in the woods, the two come across the
willo-the-wisps again, and follow them. They are lead to a high
mountain, and the ruins of a great castle. Inside, Merida finds a stone
tablet depicting 4 men, with one of them separated from the group. Soon,
Merida realizes that she is in the castle in the legend her mother told
her about, and soon makes the connection:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The brother who
attempted to seize power from his siblings went to the witch, and her
spell turned him into a bear...powerful and stronger than his brothers,
but he was unable to change back, and became a rampaging beast, the same
one who took Lord Fergus' leg!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Suddenly, the bear emerges from
the darkness and attempts to attack Merida. Elinor manages to save her
daughter, and the two head back to the circle of stones. However, Merida
is now sure what needs to be done. The witch's spell mentioned mending,
and Merida feels that if she can mend the tapestry she cut the day
before, her mother will be saved. </span></div>

<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Producer Jerry Bruckheimer
brings his first 3-D film to the big screen with "G-Force," a comedy
adventure about the latest evolution of a covert government program to
train animals to work in espionage. Armed with the latest high-tech spy
equipment, these highly trained guinea pigs discover that the fate of
the world is in their paws. Tapped for the G-Force are guinea pigs
Darwin (voice of Sam Rockwell), the squad leader determined to succeed
at all costs; Blaster (voice of Tracy Morgan), an outrageous weapons
expert with tons of attitude and a love for all things extreme; and
Juarez (voice of Penelope Cruz), a sexy martial arts pro; plus the
literal fly-on-the-wall reconnaissance expert, Mooch, and a star-nosed
mole, Speckles (voice of Nicolas Cage), the computer and information
specialist. Along the way, the G-FORCE encounters myriad other members
of the animal kingdom, including pet shop layabout Hurley (voice of JON
FAVREAU) and the rabidly territorial hamster Bucky (voice of STEVE
BUSCEMI). Its fun to take films based on familiar, even classic themes,
give them a twist and see what evolves, says Bruckheimer. Movies about
secret agents have been on screen long before James Bond, and movies in
which animals speak and have personalities have also been with us for
quite some time. What weve never seen, however, is a movie about secret
agents who also happen to be animalswhats more in a combination of live
action, animation and Digital 3D. [D-Man2010]<br /><br />A group of guinea

[D-Man2010]<br /><br />The film revolves around a team of trained secret

(martial arts) (Penélope Cruz), Blaster (weapons/transportation) (Tracy
Morgan), mole Speckles (cyber intelligence) (Nicolas Cage), and fly
Mooch (high-tech surveillance) (Edwin Louis). The team takes on a
mission for the US government to stop evil billionaire Leonard Saber
(Bill Nighy), who plans to destroy the world with household appliances.
Before they can accomplish their mission, the government shuts them down
and they are sentenced to a pet shop. Darwin, Juarez, Blaster,
Speckles, Mooch, and their new friends Hurley (Jon Favreau) and hamster
Bucky (Steve Buscemi) will escape the cage to defeat the villain, stop
his threat, and save the world. [D-Man2010]

<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A young man named Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) works at a dead-end job
with an overbearing boss. He takes anti-depressants when he feels
stressed out. His live-in girlfriend is sleeping with his best friend.
He speaks of how his father left when he was just one week old. He
wonders if maybe when he was born his father looked into his eyes and
saw a failure.<br /><br />Elsewhere, a man called "Mr. X" (David O'Hara)
meets with a ballistics expert to find out who made a particular bullet
for a "competitor". She observes that the bullet is "clean", i.e., not
traceable to a particular gun. (As becomes clear later, this is because
it is the last stage of a multi-stage bullet.) Suddenly, a sniper shoots
the ballistics expert in the head from a nearby building. Mr. X leaps
through the window and shoots his opponents in mid-flight, killing them.
He lands on the building and begins talking to a man on a cell phone,
unaware that he is standing on a marked spot. He notices it as the man,
named Cross fires a multi-stage bullet from across town, killing Mr. X
by going through the back of his head and out through his forehead (the
flight of the bullet is shown in slow-motion, backward).<br /><br />One
night at a pharmacy, Gibson meets a mysterious woman who tells him his
father was an elite assassin who had been killed the day before. Gibson
replies that his father abandoned him a week after his birth. At that
moment, Cross appears, gun in hand. The woman opens fire on Cross.
Gibson and the woman escape from the resulting shoot-out and have a wild
car chase in the streets of Chicago. The woman brings Gibson to the
headquarters of The Fraternity, a thousand-year-old secret society of
assassins. The group's leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman), formally
introduces Gibson to Fox (Angelina Jolie), the woman from the night
before, and invites him to follow in his father's footsteps as an
assassin. Sloan tests Gibson by making him shoot the wings off a fly.
When Gibson refuses, a gun is put to his head, triggering a panic
attack. Gibson somehow manages to shoot the wings off several flies.
Sloan says that he was able to do that because his heart beats 400 times
a second when he's stressed. When Sloan asks him whether he want to
know how to control it, he runs away in fear. Gibson wakes up the next
day hoping everything was a dream, but discovers his father's gun (which
he stashes in the toilet tank), and that he has $3.6 million in his
bank account. At work, Gibson tells off his boss, bashes his duplicitous
friend with a computer keyboard (forming the words "FUCK YOU" with the
f, u, c, k, y, o letters and a tooth that pops out of his friend's
mouth), and storms out. Gibson then sees pictures of himself and Fox on
the front page of several newspapers as wanted fugitives for the
pharmacy shooting. Then he notices Fox, who has been waiting outside,
and she gives him a ride back to the Fraternity headquarters - an
unassuming textile mill.<br /><br />Sometime later when his training is
complete, Gibson is given orders to kill people from the Loom of Fate, a
loom that gives the names of the targets through a binary code hidden
in weaving errors of the fabric. While on his first assignment, Gibson
has second thoughts and hesitates killing his target. In a flashback we
learn that he told Fox it isn't right to kill people without knowing
anything about them or why they deserve to die. Fox then relates a
childhood story, about a judge handling a sensitive case, and the
defendant had ordered him assassinated. A hired killer held the young
girl at knifepoint as they waited for her father to return home. The
killer then lit the father on fire as the young girl watched, and then
branded his initials into her neck. Fox explained that the man who
killed the judge had been targeted by the Fraternity several weeks prior
to the events of the story, but their assassin had failed to carry out
his duty. Fox then tells Gibson The Fraternity's idea, "Kill one and
maybe save thousands". As she prepares to leave, he notices initials
branded on her neck and realizes the story was about her. Back to
present we see Gibson bends a bullet trajectory to kill the target a
moment after this recollection.<br /><br />Whenever Sloan orders Gibson to
kill a person, Gibson would ask whether the target is Cross as he cannot
wait to have revenge. At one time, Sloan grants his wish as the next
target is Cross. Fox feels that it is too early but Sloan gives her
another order where the target is Gibson.<br /><br />Gibson and Fox travel
to the Fraternity's original base of operations in Europe. The two
easily capture Pekwarsky and force him to take them to Cross. The
meeting leads to a confrontation between Gibson and Cross on a moving
train. Fox steals a car and crashes it into the train, eventually
causing the train to derail when it reaches a bridge over a deep ravine
(killing all innocent passengers). Gibson is about to fall into the
ravine before Cross catches his hand, saving his life. Gibson
unhesitatingly shoots him. Before Cross dies, he tells Gibson that he is
his real father and that the Fraternity had been lying to him. Fox
confirms the truth and explains that Gibson was recruited because he was
the only person that Cross wouldn't kill. Fox then tells Gibson about
the kill order on him and raises her weapon to shoot him. Gibson,
however, shoots the glass underneath him and plunges into the river
below.<br /><br />Gibson awakes in an apartment across the street from his
former apartment. He finds Pekwarsky there. Upon inspecting the
apartment, he discovers it belonged to his father, who had been
monitoring him his whole life. Pekwarsky hands Gibson a loom weaving and
tells him to decode it. Gibson is shocked to discover Sloan's name in
the weaving. Pekwarsky explains that after Sloan discovered that he was
the next target stated by the Loom of Fate, he started manufacturing his
own targets and after discovering this Cross goes rogue and Sloan turns
the Fraternity against him. Since then Sloan has used false kill orders
to direct the Fraternity as mere contract killers. Gibson realizes that
Cross had never actually tried to kill him in their previous
confrontations; he had been assassinating Fraternity members to keep
them away from Gibson. Pekwarsky departs after giving Gibson plane
tickets, stating that his father wished him a life free of violence.
While exploring the apartment further, Gibson discovers a secret room
containing all of his father's weapons and maps. He even finds a supply
of the Exterminator's mini-bombs, realizing that the Exterminator had
been working with his father. Gibson then devises a plan to take out
Sloan and the Fraternity. Upon entering Sloan's office, he finds himself
surrounded by Fox and her fellow master assassins. Gibson tells them
that Sloan is killing for profit by providing his killers with
fraudulent kill orders. He then attempts to kill Sloan, but is disarmed
by Fox.<br /><br />Fox asks Sloan if this is true. Sloan then reveals that
all of their names had come up in the weaving, and that he had merely
acted to protect them. He then goes on to explain that if they truly
believe in the code then they should take their lives right where they
stand. Otherwise, they should kill Gibson. The other assassins decide to
kill Gibson, but Fox turns on her fellow assassins. She "curves" a
bullet to kill the assassins who had been standing in a circle, then
throws her gun to Gibson before stepping back into the bullet. Sloan
escapes. Gibson, penniless once more, does not know what to do with
himself. While Gibson provides a voice-over, the audience sees a young
man sitting in front of a computer in a cubicle much like Gibson did at
the beginning of the film. The man types the name "Wesley Gibson" into
Google and searches for it but does not have any results, as in the
beginning of the film. Sloan appears and points a gun at the man's head.
At that moment, the man turns around and is revealed to be a decoy and
looks down. Sloan also looks down and realizes he is standing on a
marked spot. He then looks up and says, "Oh, fuck", before Gibson, who
is actually miles away, shoots him in the head from the comfort of his
own apartment, from the same window his father killed Mr. X at the
beginning of the movie. It is also shown that the same bullet passed
through an energy drink his former best friend was holding as his
unfaithful girlfriend looks on in shock, and passed through a donut his
former boss was about to eat mere moments before it killed Sloan.<br /><br />The

<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When the Heffley family attends a
pool party at the local pool to start off the summer, Greg (Zachary Gordon) is
found playing Twisted Wizard 2 on his PSP. The family meets a former
trouble-making friend of Rodrick who is now a model student after attending a
military school known as Spag Union. Greg's father, Frank (Steve Zahn) wants
him to do something outdoors by swimming. Manny (Connor & Owen Fielding)
calls Greg over to the baby pool. He laughs and says he is peeing. After Greg
watches other toddlers urinating in the pool, to his horror, the show begins
with Greg speaking to the audience about summer and that he and Frank have
nothing in common. But at least if he stays a step ahead, Greg claims that he
has a shot at a great summer.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On the last day of school, when
last period almost ends, Greg attempts to get his crush Holly Hills (Peyton
List) to put her phone number in his yearbook in addition to signing it.
However, she is forced to leave with Patty Farrell (Laine MacNeil) before she can
write the last two numbers. The school hallway is a zoo. While Greg finally
makes it out, Greg attempts to ask Holly to finish, but she sees her sister
before he can finish his request. A car comes by, and Holly is forced to leave
for a ride. Meanwhile, Rodrick (Devon Bostick), who is advertising his band at
Greg's school, falls in love with Holly's older sister, Heather Hills (Melissa
Roxburgh).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Because the phone number is
missing the last two numbers, Rowley and Greg tries to call every possible two
numbers. Unfortunately for him, he never receives an answer from Holly. Later,
Susan (Rachael Harris) makes a book club called "Reading Is Fun."
Sometime later, Greg's best friend, Rowley Jefferson (Robert Capron) takes Greg
to the local country club, which Greg takes a liking to instantly due to the
seemingly free food, the sparsely populated pool, and the fact that Holly
teaches tennis there. While at the club, he arranges a tennis match the next
day despite the fact that he and Rowley have never played tennis. When Greg
returns home, he finds his father has offered to sign him up for an internship
at his job, but Greg makes up a hasty lie about having a job at the country
club to get out of it and to go to the country club every day. The next day at
the tennis match, it becomes painfully obvious that Greg and Rowley have never
played tennis, and Holly teaches Greg personally.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At a party at Warren's, Greg's
dad decides to get a dog for the family and to sign Greg up in the Wilderness
Explorers (a parody of the Boy Scouts of America) to teach him responsibility
after hearing it worked with Warren's sons. At the same party, Rodrick finds
out that Greg does not have a job, and tells Greg that he will not reveal
Greg's secret to his parents if Greg will take Rodrick to the country club to
see Heather. Greg reluctantly agrees, and Rodrick attempts to make Heather fall
in love with him, though his attempt to do so ends horribly. Later that day,
Frank gets the dog. Greg wants to name the dog Shredder or Ripjaw, but the
names are too violent. Then Manny names the dog "Sweetie", who proves
to be a handful after being walked through the town.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Rowley invites Greg on a family
trip to their beach house near the Boardwalk. Just before Greg leaves, his
parents give him a ladybug cell phone, which only allows him to call home and
9-1-1. Greg sees that the house that they are staying at is far away from the
boardwalk. The Jeffersons play a game of "I Love You Because." When
Greg has to compliment Mr. Jefferson (Alf Humphreys), he has no idea what to
say. (He might have eventually answered, but whatever else he had to say is
skipped). When they visit the amusement park, Greg convinces Rowley to go on
the Cranium Shaker despite Rowley's conservative parents telling them to not go
on scary rides and to meet them back in one hour. Rowley feels nervous since he
had promised his parents. They get on the ride, and it is not a pretty sight.
At the end of the ride, Rowley's parents find out, and they tell Rowley that
they were searching everywhere and they were about to call the police to report
him missing. Rowley feels guilty when they tell him that they are disappointed
in him. At home during bedtime, he hates the sleeping situation, and Greg
attempts to email his mother asking her to help him leave while Mr. Jefferson
uses the restroom, but he accidentally emails everyone on Mr. Jefferson's
contact list. Panicking, Greg tries to escape by calling his parents using his
ladybug, but when he pushes the house button the phone tells him that it cannot
take his call. He tinkers with the phone, but he then accidentally presses the
911 button. The police arrive and attack Mr. Jefferson for having a knife in
his hand. Greg is then sent home early, and Frank tells him that Rowley is a
bad influence because Greg always gets into trouble around him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Later, when Greg asks Rowley to
take him again into the Country Club, Rowley lies and states he is not going
there. Still, Greg sneaks in, pretending to be a member of the Jefferson
family. After falling from the high dive naked, he runs into Holly and her
sister and manages to get Löded Diper a gig at Heather's 16th birthday party,
much to Rodrick's delight. He meets Rowley, who tells him he had lied to
protect Greg's feelings because his parents didn't want to invite Greg. He and
Greg make up, however Rowley's father becomes infuriated that Greg has built up
a massive smoothie bill and tells Frank, who then finds out Greg does not have
a job and is forced to pay himself. Much to Greg's horror, he and Rodrick
intercept a promotional package DVD from Spag Union directed to his father, and
Greg fears that he is going to be sent there.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Rodrick tells Greg about the
"Wilderness Weekend", where he can attempt to impress his Dad while
out on a camping trip. Greg, hoping this may be his last chance to impress his
Dad, goes there. However, their troop proves to be weak compared to Troop 42,
led by Warren (Phil Hayes), who pitch their tents where Greg's troop was about
to stay, forcing them to put their tents next to the bathroom. Greg and his
friends overhear Stan and his sons mocking Greg's father and plan to set up a
trap for revenge involving a nest of ants. However, Warren's expensive tent
gets destroyed, and Greg discovers that Troop 42 has not been camping but
living off of excessive conveniences. When Greg steps up and takes the blame,
Frank is impressed and finds out about Troop 42's electronic convenience. Frank
angrily confronts Warren as a phony, and Warren falls into the trap that Greg,
Rowley, Fregley (Grayson Russell), and Chirag (Karan Brar) made. As a result,
Warren is chased by bees and a bear. Frank later takes Greg to a hotel and
reveals he never liked camping. He tells Greg that he will not send him to Spag
Union and that he is proud of him.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At Heather Hills' Sweet 16th
birthday party, Löded Diper performs a rock version of Justin Bieber's
"Baby" during an attempt to win over Heather. However, they end up
ruining the party and humiliating her in the process. Greg apologizes to Holly,
however she states she is happy as she felt that her sister deserved it. Then,
Holly holds Greg's hand, implying that she likes him. The film ends with Greg,
Rowley, and Holly swimming at the community pool with Greg's family eating
hotdogs enjoying the rest of the summer.</span></div>

<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Best friends FDR and Tuck are CIA agents working together. They are
assigned to prevent an international criminal, Heinrich, from acquiring a
weapon of mass destruction. But the mission goes wrong when Heinrich's
brother is killed - making the agents a target for Heinrich. As a
consequence, the agents are assigned to desk duty.<br /><br />FDR and Tuck
have very different attitudes when it comes to women. FDR is a
womanizer, whereas Tuck is looking for love. Tuck has been unable to get
back together with his son's mother, Katie, who is dating someone new.
So he decides it's to get back in the game and signs up for online
dating. He ends up on a date with Lauren, who has been registered on the
dating site by her friend after a failed engagement. They meet at a bar
for a drink and it goes well. At the end of the date, Lauren goes to
the DVD store where she encounters FDR, who is looking to hook-up. FDR
attempts to flirt with her, not knowing she was Tuck's date. When she
rejects him, he begins to pursue her by turning up to a product testing
session at her work. In an effort to get rid of him, she agrees to go on
a date. The date doesn't go well, until Lauren bumps into her ex-fiance
with his new girlfriend. She proceeds to pretend that FDR is her new
boyfriend and that they are very much in love. She is impressed that he
goes along with it. As a result, Lauren ends up dating both men - unable
to decide which one she likes better.<br /><br />FDR and Tuck discover that
they are dating the same girl - but neither one is willing to back
down. They make an agreement to carry on dating her (without her knowing
that they know each other) but neither must sleep with her - it is then
up to her to decide who she wants to date. However, they soon begin
underhand tactics to scupper the other, using all the resources of the
CIA surveillance at their disposal.<br /><br />As Heinrich catches up with
the agents. They are in a car chase, which Lauren is caught up in having
gone to lunch with Tuck. On Lauren's advice, they shoot the headlights
on Heinrich's car, deploying the airbags and sending Heinrich's car
spiraling out of control. Lauren must suddenly choose which side of the
road to jump to for protection - Tucks or FDRs. She chooses FDR. Tuck is
gracious and declares that he is happy for them both as Lauren
confesses that she wants to be with FDR. Later, Tuck reconciles with
Katie.<br /><br />When FDR and Tuck are about out to jump out of a Chinook
helicopter, FDR tells Tuck that he is going to marry Lauren. He also
reveals that he had sex with Katie before she met Tuck, and no longer
feels guilty about it because Tuck had sex with Lauren. Tuck, however,
reveals that they didn't go all the way and angrily tackles FDR out of
the plane.

<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson)
arrives at one of his agency's facilities during an evacuation. The
Tesseract, an energy source of unknown potential, has activated. It
opens a portal through space and the exiled Norse god Loki (Tom Hiddleston)
steps through. Loki takes the Tesseract and also takes control of the
minds of several SHIELD personnel, including Dr. Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgård) and Agent Clint "Hawkeye" Barton (Jeremy Renner),
to aid him in his getaway. As SHIELD personnel pull out of their base,
some pursuing Loki and others merely fleeing, the ground beneath the
base collapses and it's destroyed.<br /><br />In response to the attack, Fury re-activates the Avengers Initiative. First he pulls Agent Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson),
a.k.a. the Black Widow, out of an interrogation (tied to a chair, she
seems to be the victim rather than the interrogator, but appearances are
deceiving). Fury sends her to India to find and recruit Dr. Bruce
Banner (Mark Ruffalo), a.k.a. the Hulk. At the same time Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) approaches "Iron Man" Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and requests that he review Dr. Selvig's research. Fury himself approaches Steve Rogers (Chris Evans),
a.k.a. Captain America, with an assignment to retrieve the Tesseract
from Loki. During his exile, Loki encountered the Chitauri, an alien
race seeking to conquer the galaxy. In exchange for the Tesseract, the
Chitauri agree to help Loki subjugate Earth.<br /><br />Suiting up, Captain
America and Iron Man travel to Germany to apprehend Loki, who is
recovering iridium needed to stabilize the Tesseract's power, and
demanding that the civilians kneel before him. Loki quickly surrenders
when the two heroes arrive, and he is escorted to a SHIELD helicarrier, a
high-tech, flying aircraft carrier. However, Thor (Chris Hemsworth),
Loki's half-brother and the Norse God of thunder, arrives and attempts
to free Loki so he can reason with him on his own, but he gets into a
fight with Iron Man and Captain America. The fight ends in a stalemate.
Eventually, Loki is taken to the helicarrier and placed in a glass cell
designed to hold the Hulk. Fury explains that if Loki attempts to
escape, even by merely cracking the glass, a shaft will open below him
and he'll plummet to Earth and possibly be killed.<br /><br />The Avengers,
now brought together, argue and deliberate over how to approach Loki and
the revelation that SHIELD plans to harness the Tesseract's power to
develop weapons, a discovery made by Rogers. Fury admits that the events
in New Mexico a year before (recounted in <i>Thor</i>)
made SHIELD aware of other races on other worlds, some of whom may see
Earth as an easy target. The decision was made to produce weapons with
the Tesseract as a means of deterrence. As the group argues, Clint
Barton and Loki's possessed agents attack the helicarrier, disabling one
of its engines in flight. While Stark and Rogers attempt to restart the
damaged engine, Romanoff tries to prevent Dr. Banner from turning into
the Hulk and destroying the ship from inside. Her attempt fails and
she's chased through the ship until Thor takes up the battle to pacify
the beast and manages to fell him briefly with a hit from his hammer,
Mjolnir. While fighting Barton, Romanoff slams him into a guard rail,
and the blow to the head breaks Loki's mind control. After the Hulk
falls from the ship, Thor is tricked into Loki's holding cell by Loki
himself, who has recovered his scepter and releases the cell and allows
Thor to plummet. Loki is held at bay briefly by Agent Coulson who is
also tricked by one of Loki's holographic projections - Coulson is
stabbed in the back by the real Loki. Coulson later shoots Loki with a
blast from an unidentified weapon, one that harnesses the power of the
Destroyer. Coulson dies while Fury tries to save his life. Thor escapes
from the cell a split second before it hits the ground. Banner wakes up
in his human form after crashing into an abandoned factory.<br /><br />Fury
uses Coulson's death to motivate the Avengers to work as a team. Stark
and Rogers realize that simply defeating them will not be enough for
Loki. He needs to overpower them in a very public way so as to validate
himself as ruler of Earth. Using a device built by Dr. Selvig, Loki
opens a portal to the Chitauri home world over Manhattan, summoning a
Chitauri invasion.<br /><br />The Avengers rally in defense of New York, but
quickly come to the conclusion that they will be overwhelmed as wave
after wave of Chitauri descend upon Earth. With help from the reformed
Barton, Captain America and Thor evacuate civilians while Dr. Banner
transforms into the Hulk and goes after Loki, beating him into
submission in Tony Stark's penthouse. Romanoff makes her way, with a
little help from the Chitauri, to the device that holds the portal open
(conveniently located on the roof of the Stark Building) and hits Dr.
Selvig over the head, freeing him of Loki's control. Dr. Selvig reveals
that Loki's staff can be used to close the portal.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the
council overrides Fury and scrambles a jet that fires a nuclear missile
at Manhattan to end the invasion. Iron Man intercepts the missile and
directs it at the portal and the Chitauri base before running out of
oxygen and plummeting back to Earth, but the Hulk catches him as he
falls. A dazed Stark, awakened by the Hulk's roar, offers to take the
team out for shawarma, but they decide to apprehend Loki first. Thor
escorts Loki and the Tesseract back to Asgard, while Fury notes that the
Avengers will go their separate ways until a new world-threatening
menace emerges.<br /><br />In a mid-credits scene, the Chitauri leader the
Other tells his master that it is futile to attack Earth, as fighting
the Avengers is like courting death. His master turns, revealing himself
to be Thanos.<br /><br />After further credits, the Avengers are shown eating together in a shawarma joint; the team looks worn out and no one speaks.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Synopsis/Plot</b></span></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lt. Paul Cutler (Gabriel Macht)
is an ex-military L.A.P.D. S.W.A.T. officer and considered to be one of the
best, even holding a record of having no civilian casualties for ten years.
After successfully rescuing hostages with no casualties, Cutler is requested to
train the Detroit S.W.A.T. with an updated training curriculum from the
F.B.I.'s Hostage Rescue Team training program. Shortly after arriving in
Detroit, Cutler immediately imposes his authority and has a rough time with the
Captain (Giancarlo Esposito) of the department as well as one of the senior
S.W.A.T. leaders Justin Kellogg (Nicholas Gonzalez). During the middle of a
training exercise, the team responds to an emergency call when ex-government
agent Walter Hatch (Robert Patrick) is holding his girlfriend (Kristanna Loken)
hostage.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The girl is rescued but takes
Officer Kellogg's handgun and asks Cutler to move so she can shoot Hatch. When
Cutler tries to calm her down, she puts the gun to her head and commits
suicide. Cutler's 10 year record with no hostages lost is broken and it takes
its toll on him. The rift between Cutler and Kellogg escalates at a local bar,
where Cutler makes a bet for Kellogg to beat him in a higher score with an
arcade machine in exchange for Cutler leaving the city. Kellogg loses the bet,
and is instead re-assigned to "Charlie Company". Due to low manpower,
Cutler enlists military squadmate Lori Barton (Shannon Kane) to assist his
training. As the training goes on, Hatch steals a binder which contains details
of tactics and information on the members. Meanwhile, Cutler starts a
passionate relationship with Kim Byers (Carly Pope), the Detroit PD's
Psychiatrist. The phone calls from Hatch now increase and he kidnaps Kim after
planting a bomb under Cutler's car and shooting a member of the S.W.A.T. team.
The Captain orders Cutler to return to Los Angeles, where Hatch wouldn't be
able to target him.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The S.W.A.T. team is then called
to a derelict warehouse where things do not appear to be right as no officers
are on the scene. In the van, communication from the station shows that the
call was a hoax. One S.W.A.T. officer is killed by a bomb while Barton and
Watters are kidnapped. Aware of the full situation, Kellogg gives Cutler access
to the armory and a squad car to save the hostages at one of the training
grounds. Cutler briefly rescues Watters, but Watters perishes due to gunshot
wounds to the chest from one of Hatch's henchmen. Cutler manages to save Barton
and pursues Hatch. Cutler engages Hatch in a hand-to-hand fight while Kim tries
to cut free from a bomb vest. She manages to escape it after Lori breaks the
chain holding her with a shot from her sniper rifle, and throws it towards
Hatch just as Cutler kicks him back into the wall. Cutler fires a shot, hitting
the vest and detonating it, killing Hatch. Support arrives, with Cutler
graduating the surviving members. Cutler asks Kim if she wants to go back to
Los Angeles with him.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Synopsis/Plot</b></span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The film opens in the middle of the night as the Sherwood robbers run
through the forest. The robbers run through Nottingham and put their
horses into a stable. Lady Marion (Cate Blanchett),
wife of Sir Robert Loxley, rouses her servants and demands that they
open the gates. Taking an arrow and setting it aflame, she shoots it at
the feet of one of the robbers and tells them that she can see them.
After they leave, she realizes that the seeds and grain of Nottingham
were stolen and that they won't have anything to plant come spring.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Robin Longstride (Russell Crowe)
leads his men through the forest back to their own camp. When he fought
in the Crusades, Robin was only an archer. As English troops lead an
assault on a French stronghold, Robin and his men fight valiantly
alongside King Richard the Lionheart (Danny Huston).
A young archer attempts to plant a bomb bag on the portcullis but gets
stuck. Robin races to him and rescues him before the French can kill
him. Robin then retreats to safety before igniting the gate. The English
troops attack the breach.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Back in England, Richard's younger brother, Prince John (Oscar Isaac), is cheating on his wife Isabel (Jessica Raine) with Isabella (Léa Seydoux), the niece of the French king. John's mother Eleanor of Aquitaine (Eileen Atkins)
walks in, passing his wife, who is standing sadly outside the room.
John asks his mother to leave but she tells him that his behavior has
given the king of France the excuse he needs to invade. She tells him to
go to his wife, but he responds that his wife is barren. John expresses
his desire to divorce his wife and marry the French girl since he
anticipates becoming king upon Richard's death.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Robin sets up a memory game where he hides a pea under three cups. Most people fall for it, but Little John (Kevin Durand)
is determined to beat the game. When Robin offers three choices, Little
John accuses him of hiding the pea in his hand while turning all of the
cups. However, removing all three cups reveals that the pea was in the
center cup all the time. Little John attacks Robin and they fight it out
until they're interrupted by the king's arrival. When the king asks who
started the fight, Robin says that it was his fault. The king talks to
Robin and asks if he is honest enough to tell him his thoughts on the
Crusade. The king wonders whether God would be pleased; Robin says no.
The slaughter of the Muslims in their last battle made Robin feel that
God did not approve of their actions and that they had acted like
barbarians. Robin and his men are put in the stocks and Robin swears
that he is done fighting and will return home once released.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In nearby woods, Sir Godfrey (Mark Strong) visits King Philip (Jonathan Zaccaï)
of France. Philip notes that Sir Godfrey is of French and English
heritage and asks where his allegiance lies. Godfrey pledges his
allegiance to King Philip and Philip requests that Godfrey kill King
Richard the Lionheart so that Philip may attack England under the
leadership of the inept John. Sir Godfrey agrees.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Meanwhile, King
Richard leads his men in battle with the French. Upon breaching the
perimeter, an archer shoots King Richard through the neck. As he dies,
his men call for a doctor but can only comfort his passing with wine.
His knights gather the crown and prepare to depart for the boats back to
England. The young man Robin saved sees the incident and runs back to
the stocks to free Robin and his friends. They grab their equipment and
flee the camp as quickly as possible.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sir Robert Loxley (Douglas Hodge)
is leading the knights of King Richard through the forest when Sir
Godfrey's men attack and kill most of the knights. Loxley is skewered by
a spear and left to die slowly. Godfrey asks about King Richard and is
surprised to hear that the king was killed in battle. Loxley tells them
that the king's crown is in a bag on the king's horse. Godfrey's men
attempt to recover it but the horse runs away, directly toward Robin and
his men. One of Godfrey's men pursues the horse and kills the young man
Robin rescued, but Robin and Little John kill him quickly and then
attack Godfrey's party with their other friends. Godfrey and his men
retreat before they can loot the corpses. As Godfrey runs off, Robin
shoots him in the cheek with an arrow, scarring him.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Robin finds
Loxley dying. Loxley tells him that he stole his sword from his father
and his dying wish is that it be returned. He reflects on the love a
father and son share and dies. Robin vows to honor the promise. They
loot the corpses, don the armor and pretend to be knights. Robin
explains that the disguise will allow them to obtain passage back to
England as the crown's honor guard. They bury their dead comrade and
leave for the shore.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In Nottingham, Lady Marion visits the church to meet the new friar, Tuck (Mark Addy),
and ask for seed to help the people. The old friar, departing for York,
tells her that the church will not be surrendering its grain. Lady
Marion is outraged that the church will not practice charity for its
people. The departing priest tells Tuck that the Loxley family is always
causing troubles for the church.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Robin and his men arrive at the
ships and present themselves as knights. The guardians of the ship tell
Robin that they were expecting 12 knights and the king but Robin
informs them that Richard is dead and presents them with his crown. They
bring the men aboard and set sail for England. The men drink and sing
but Robin examines the sword of Loxley. He unwinds pieces of metal and
sees that the inscribed motto reads "Until Lambs Become Lions." Little
John asks the plan and Robin explains that they will go north from
London after delivering the crown.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The next morning Robin wakes
up and sees they are 40 minutes away from England. His men are scared
that their masquerade will be undone by the members of the royal court.
Robin tells his men that they should be ready to run for their lives if
they are recognized as impostors. The royal court expects to see the
king disembark. However, King Richard's mother Eleanor suspects
something is wrong when Robin comes ashore instead of Richard. Robin
gives the crown to Eleanor.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sir Godfrey watches from afar as
Robin delivers the crown. For a moment they are concerned that Loxley
lied about the king's death. Prince John is shocked that his brother is
dead. His mother places the crown on John's head, as he is now king of
England. Robin presents himself as Loxley of Nottingham and John asks
how his brother died. John offers Robin a reward. He asks if Robin said
he was from Nottingham. Robin hesitantly says yes and John says that Sir
Walter Loxley (Robert's father) owes taxes to the crown. John offers
Robin his ring but then takes it back, saying that is his first payment.
King John greets Sir Godfrey and invites him to dine with him later.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">William Marshall (William Hurt),
a man in the crowd, tells Robin that he will visit Sir Walter soon.
Robin says that he will deliver the message. Godfrey knows that Robin is
impersonating Loxley and tells his men that since he knows too much, he
must be killed. Robin rides out of the city with his men toward
Nottingham.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lady Marion and her servants are plowing a field when
the sheriff arrives and tells her that he expects an audience with Sir
Walter. Lady Marion asks why he isn't taking care of the robbers in
Sherwood instead. The sheriff says Sir Walter needs to pay his taxes and
the sheriff will come and break down the door to collect the money. He
makes an advance on Marion, who threatens that her husband will kill
him, but the sheriff laughs at her. He tells her that her husband is
surely dead after ten years and leaves her alone in the field.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The
men eat and sing together in the forest until Robin abruptly suggests
that they part ways after dividing the spoils. Little John asks where
Robin will go. Robin tells them that he has to honor the dying wish of
Loxley. His men call him crazy but Robin tells them that he owes it to
Lady Fortune.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">King John and William Marshall discuss the
financial cost of the army of England. King John wants to disband but
Marshall points out that it would be more efficient just to keep it
together. The war has ravaged the economy and the people are feeling the
strain.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Marshall tells him that he should take out loans from
Normandy but John just wants to tax the people. Godfrey presents himself
and offers to collect the money or kill those who refuse. Marshall is
taken aback by this but Godfrey tells him it's what must be done. King
John thinks this is well said.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Eleanor, the queen mother, tells
John that Richard would have done things differently. John loses his
temper with her and blames her for the wreckage of England. She slaps
him and leaves the room. King John forces Marshall to resign and
dismisses him from court. Godfrey follows him out and Marshall tells him
to choose the spot where he places his dagger carefully. Godfrey mocks
him by showing him the seal that grants him Marshall's position and
leaves.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Robin and his men arrive in Nottingham. They are
unimpressed by the setting. Friar Tuck, who takes care of the bees,
addresses them. He tells Robin where to find the house of Loxley, and
Robin rides off. The others ask where they can find liquor but Little
John apologizes. Friar Tuck exhorts them and offers them some honey
liquor (mead).</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Robin arrives at the Loxley house. He sees Lady
Marion milking a cow and addresses her rudely as "girl" while checking
her out. He introduces himself as Robin Longstride and asks to see Sir
Walter. He tells her that Robert is dead and she leads him inside. She
says that she is Robert's wife. He tells her how Robert died. She
advises him to lie to Sir Walter about Robert's death. Sir Walter (Max von Sydow)
is blind but Robin gives him his sword back. Walter knows his son is
dead when he feels the sword; he asks what happened. Robin tells him
that Robert's final words were of his love for his father. Walter guides
his hands over Robin's face. He asks Robin to dinner and tells him that
he needs to bathe first.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lady Marion offers him her husband's
clothes. He asks for help taking off the armor he is wearing. She is
uneasy about this but complies with his request.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Walter asks
Robin about his journey. Robin tells Walter his life story: He was
abandoned as a child and doesn't know his origins, only where he's been.
Walter makes an offer: if Robin gives him some time, the sword of
Loxley will be his. Walter says that he can tell him something of his
history. He goes on to request that Robin stay and pretend to be Robert
so that Marion can keep her land. Walter says that Robin must become his
son. Robin agrees, despite Lady Marion's rage.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The House of
Loxley celebrates the "return" of Robin. Robin's men are impressed by
the women. Friar Tuck asks why they call him "Little" John and John
replies by telling him that he's got a proportionate penis before
pursuing some of the women at the party.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lady Marion and Robin
must share a bedroom to maintain the ruse. She asks if he is coming to
bed, but he tells her to ask nicely. She sarcastically requests that he
return to their room. Robin reflects on the sword's motto by the fire
before retiring to the room. They share the room but Lady Marion tells
him that if he touches her in her bed, she will stab him. Robin lies by
the fire with a lamb and goes to sleep.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Godfrey meets with his
French counterparts in a dark field. They are ready to launch their
attack on England and on King John. Marshall receives a note meant for
Godfrey which warns that 200 French soldiers have landed in Britain.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sir
Walter greets Robin in the morning. He calls Lady Marion and tells her
to show Robin around Nottingham in order to familiarize him with the
village and its people. Lady Marion shows him around the fields despite
her misgivings. He asks where the cows and sheep are. She replies they
are gone, and that all they eat are rabbits and pigs. She mentions that
the deer are off limits since they all belong to the king. She tells him
to act like Sir Robert. Villagers greet him and he pretends to know
them. Lady Marion is introduced to Robin's companions in arms. He tells
them to pretend he is Loxley and they agree, but mock him as well.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Friar
Tuck meets with Robin and Marion. Marion tells Tuck that they are
stealing grain that the people of Nottingham had raised under the guise
of tax. Robin asks if the church knows that Tuck is raising bees that
produce honey. Tuck responds by asking, what if the grain doesn't reach
York? Robin tells him that the church won't need to know of the bees.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">That
night, Robin pays a visit to Friar Tuck. They drink mead together and
Robin tells Tuck that they need to steal the grain for Nottingham.
Pretending to be the Sherwood robbers, they steal the grain. They take
the grain and plant it in the fields during the night as it starts to
rain. Lady Marion is impressed by Robin's actions and sees him sleeping
near the fields. She asks how he found the seed, but he doesn't tell
her.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Godfrey leads his men in the name of the king to the towns
which refuse to pay their taxes. Godfrey and his men slaughter the
townspeople in retaliation. He takes the gold by force and leaves entire
towns aflame.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Marshall visits Queen Eleanor and tells her he has
lost faith in John. He tells her that Godfrey is pissing off the
Northern barons to provoke them to attack the throne so that England
will be in chaos when the French invade. Eleanor tells John's new wife,
Isabella, that a paid agent of France is planning an attack. She tells
Isabella that if she wants to earn the title of queen she must tell John
that Godfrey is plotting against him. John flips out when he hears
this. Isabella tells him that it's true and that if he doesn't believe
her he should kill her. He kisses her and begs her forgiveness.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A
messenger demands an audience with the sheriff of Nottingham and
delivers a letter telling him that Godfrey is coming to Nottingham. He
tells the messenger that Loxley will be trouble.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lady Marion
describes her married life. The daughter of a widow, she was married a
week before Robert left for war. Robin tells her that Robert was a good
knight. He helps her mount her horse and they ride off.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">King John
visits Marshall and asks why he deserted him when Godfrey is planning
to help the French attach him. Marshall tells him that they need to
reach out to the Barons of the North and that King John must meet them.
King John tells him that they will be taking the militia to meet with
the barons in battle. Marshall requests a horse from his servants so
that he might find the Northern Barons.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The messenger returns to
Godfrey and tells him that he found Robin. Godfrey tells him that when
they arrive in Nottingham they will take no prisoners and will make the
place famous from how much blood will be shed.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At a village
dance, Robin dances with Lady Marion in front of everyone. Afterward,
Walter tells Robin that his father was a visionary and a philosopher.
"Until Lambs Become Lions" was his motto and he was able to galvanize
the people with his words. Walter tells Robin that when Robin was
younger he witnessed his father's execution. Robin bursts into tears
when he realizes the truth. His father had written a charter of rights
and Walter shows it to Robin. A messenger arrives from Marshall
requesting Sir Walter's assistance in preparing the troops.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Robin
rides out to Marshall, who is telling the barons of the North that
Godfrey is attempting to cause chaos so that England can be conquered by
France. King John arrives and takes the stand. King John claims that
Godfrey was acting only to cause chaos and his men point out that he did
so easily. Meanwhile, Robin arrives at a burnt down town and sees the
ground where his father was killed years before. He strikes a stone on a
statue and removes it to find a hand print he left as a child. He walks
over to Marshall as King John speaks. He announces his arrival and
tells his people that their tyranny is the heart of failure. He asserts
that every man deserves power and that King John's demands will be his
undoing. Robin incites the crowd with his words and tells King John that
liberty by law is the right of all men. They gather and prepare for
war.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Godfrey leads his men to Nottingham and prepares to
slaughter the townsfolk. The men march to Sir Walter's house looking to
kill Robin. Walter walks out, blind and carrying his sword. Godfrey
tells Walter that he killed Robert. Godfrey toys with Walter but Walter
succeeds in cutting Godfrey's face before he is run through and killed.
Godfrey's men collect the money of the town. The Sherwood robbers see
what is going on in Nottingham. Friar Tuck manages to trap a few
soldiers in the bee house and leaves them to die. The messenger attempts
to rape Lady Marion. She goads him before stabbing him in the neck and
killing him.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Sherwood robbers help Marion escape as Robin
arrives and leads the attack on Godfrey's men. Godfrey retreats with
what men survive to meet up with the French in the south. Walter's
servants bring the sword of Loxley to Marion, telling her that he is
dead. She gives him the sword and Robin hugs her. They burn Walter's
body on a funeral pyre. Robin tells Marion he will come back. They share
a kiss and he tells her that he loves her.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The French begin
their invasion of England as Robin and his men ride for the coast
preparing for battle. King John asks Robin and Marshall what they need
to do to beat the French. Robin leads the archers to the cliff tops as
Marshall leads the ground troops. They charge the French in battle.
Little John brutalizes the French troops along side Robin's other men.
King John charges into the fray for personal glory. Lady Marion, dressed
as a man, attempts to kill Godfrey but he drags her into the water and
attempts to drown her. Robin charges Godfrey and tackles him. The two
duel on the shore in front of the French boats. Marion forces herself up
while Robin is caught between two French boats. Godfrey flees. Robin
escapes from the boats and picks up an arrow. He sees Godfrey in the
distance and shoots him through the neck. Robin then pulls the
unconscious Marion out of the water and kisses her. The English troops
push the French back and King Philip orders a retreat. The English are
victorious. King John sees Robin carrying Lady Marion away.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">King
John perceives the French as surrendering to Robin. Seeing him as a
threat, he declares Robin an enemy of the crown and an outlaw. He
refuses to sign the Magna Carta presented by the people. He silences his
people and burns the document.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The sheriff of Nottingham reads a
declaration that anyone who helps Robin will be killed. In lieu of a
nail, Robin shoots the order into a wall as an act of rebellion. Marion,
Robin, and his men retreat to Sherwood Forest.

<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Raizo (Rain) is raised by the Ozunu Clan to become one of the most
lethal Special Ops ninja assassins in the world. As a child, Raizo
experiences severe training under the guidance of his "father", Lord
Ozunu (Sho Kosugi): he is whipped and/or cut whenever he fails and is
encouraged to hurt his ninja kin for their training failures. The only
kindness he ever receives is from a kunoichi (female ninja), Kiriko
(Anna Sawai).<br /><br />As they grow older, Kiriko and Raizo develop a
romantic bond, however Kiriko's desire to leave the Ozunu Clan for
freedom is greater.<br /><br />One stormy night, Kiriko decides to escape
from the clan. She encourages Raizo to join her, but he decides to stay.
They kiss and she then climbs over the wall to freedom; only to be
caught and brought back by her ninja kin. Branded as a traitor, Kiriko
is executed (a katana through her heart) by her elder ninja brother
Takeshi (Rick Yune). As a result of Kiriko's death, Raizo begins to
harbor resentment and doubt towards the clan.<br /><br />After completing
his first assassination, Raizo is instructed by Lord Ozunu to execute an
escaped kunoichi like Kiriko. He rebels against his master by slashing
his face with a kyoketsu shoge and fights against his ninja kin. Barely
surviving, he escapes by falling into a nearby river. Raizo recovers and
begins to intervene in Ozunu hits by foiling their attempts.<br /><br />While
staying in Berlin and waiting for Ozunu's next move, Raizo rents a
small apartment where he secretly continues to refine his training until
it is time to act.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Europol agent Mika Coretti (Naomie
Harris) has been investigating money linked to political murders and
finds that it is potentially linked to the Ozunu Clan. She defies her
superior, Ryan Maslow (Ben Miles), and retrieves secret agency files to
find out more. The clan, finding out about the investigation, attempts
to assassinate her but she is rescued by Raizo.<br /><br />Mika convinces
Raizo to meet with Maslow for protection and to provide evidence against
the ninja clan, but Raizo is intercepted by a task force for
interrogation. Mika feels betrayed that Maslow would trick her that way,
but Maslow secretly assures Mika that he is still on her side and gives
her a tracking device for emergencies. While Mika warns Maslow of the
dangers of keeping Raizo, the Ozunu ninja infiltrate their secret base
and slaughter all the officers.<br /><br />Mika frees Raizo and he lures the
ninja away as Mika tries to escape. Raizo kills and fends off as many
ninja as he can while Takeshi continues to trail him. He and Mika manage
to escape but Raizo suffers mortal wounds around his stomach. Resting
in a private area, Mika implants the tracking device into Raizo. Unable
to fend against the clan, she hides outside the hotel until special
forces arrive to help her. By that time, the ninja have recovered Raizo
and taken him back to their base, bringing him before Lord Ozunu for
prosecution.<br /><br />While hidden inside a steel locker Raizo uses his
healing techniques to heal all major injuries before being reunited with
his "father." Lord Ozunu decides to have Raizo executed as an example
but is infuriated by Raizo's defiance to the end; Ozunu strikes against
Raizo's internal organs, causing him to spit out the tracking device.<br /><br />Europol
Special Forces Counter-Terrorism tactical teams lead by Maslow storm
the hidden Ozunu base and kill most of the ninja in the court yard.
Takeshi and Raizo face each other in the burning Ozunu training hall.
Raizo slays Takeshi and confronts Lord Ozunu in a sword duel. While
Ozuno initially has the upper hand, Mika, fearing for Raizo's life,
distracts and shoots Ozunu with her pistol.<br /><br />Before Raizo can
recover, Lord Ozunu stabs Mika in the heart. Emotionally ravaged, Raizo
uses the 'shadow blending' technique for the first time and finishes off
Ozunu. Mika, seemingly fatally wounded, is in fact saved by a quirk of
birth: her heart is on the opposite side of her chest. Mika and Europol
leave the destroyed Ozunu compound while Raizo stays behind.
Symbolically, he climbs the same wall Kiriko did all those years ago and
looks out at the surrounding countryside. Recognizing his freedom for
the first time in years, Raizo smiles, ending the film.

<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In New York City, 1881, a man eludes another in the crowded streets. He
appears anxious, and eventually enters a building. Inside he pays extra
to send a telegram express. A young man receives the telegram -- his
uncle is urging him to hurry and save him. The young man travels to the
uncle's large estate where a lawyer explains the uncle, John Carter,
died suddenly and left everything to the young man. He passes the young
man, Edgar Rice Burroughs (Daryl Sabara), an old diary.<br /><br />After the lawyer leaves the young man begins to read. The story begins in Arizona, after the Civil War. John Carter (Taylor Kitsch),
a decorated former captain in the Confederate Army, is prospecting for
gold. The locals don't seem to like him. Colonel Powell (Bryan Cranston)
of the cavalry tries to press Carter into service to fight the Apache.
Carter refuses to cooperate, and after several failed escape attempts,
he tricks a cell guard into helping him escape Fort Grant on a stolen
horse. Powell and the rest of the cavalry give chase but are forced to
halt when they see that Carter has met up with a mounted Apache war
band. Both sides are armed and wary, and a language barrier increases
the tension. Soon a gunfight breaks out. Carter takes the chance to run
off, but Colonel Powell is shot, and Carter returns to retrieve the
injured man.<br /><br />The two escape into a box canyon and find a small
cave. The Apache approach but quickly withdraw when they see a
spider-like figure carved into the rock near the cave. Confused, Carter
returns to where the Apache had been standing, and notices the spider
symbol on the rock face. Leaving Powell near the opening, he goes deeper
into the cave to investigate. There Carter finds a chamber with strange
markings. Entranced, he misses the stranger who appears behind him, and
Powell is almost too late to shout a warning. The stranger is a bald
man in a shining robe with a knife that seemed to have manifested out of
thin air. The two fight, Carter kills the other and notices that the
bald man had retrieved a blue-glowing medallion. Picking it up, Carter
repeats the words he heard the other say, and suddenly he awakes in a
strange desert.<br /><br />Carter tries to walk but stumbles and appears to
float. He spends several minutes learning how to walk in in this strange
new environment. (The gravity is much lower than what he's accustomed
to, but he doesn't know that.) He makes his way to the nearby tor and
finds a nest of eggs hatching green six-limbed infants. Disturbed, he is
about to leave when he notices a group of green creatures approaching.
They are mounted on large beasts and armed with firearms, and when they
see Carter they open fire until one of them tells the others to stop.
This tall green alien with 4 arms lays down his sword and rifle and
greets Carter. As with the Apaches, there's a language barrier but the
two manage to give their names. The green man is Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe),
the Jeddak, or leader, of his tribe. Tarkas knows Carter is not a
local, and asks him to jump again. Carter takes the chance to jump
towards Tarkas' weapons, but before he can fight he is overpowered.<br /><br />Again
Tarkas waves off the rest of his group, telling them to spare Carter.
They collect the hatchlings, killing those who seem too weak, and take
Carter to their home in the ruins of an ancient city. By this time
Carter is horrified and out of his depth, he wants to go home and knows
the medallion is likely the only way. Unfortunately, Tarkas has
recovered the medallion and wears it. In the city other Tharks treat
Carter roughly. They do not recognize what type of being he is and his
lack of language comprehension labels him something akin to an animal or
baby in their eyes. Thus, he is thrown in with the babies. As is Thark
custom, the babies are released to the mob and whoever manages to catch
one will be the parent of the hatchling. Carter is given to Sola (Samantha Morton), a female who the other Tharks seem to view with contempt -- particularly another female called Sarkoja (Polly Walker).
When Carter had been cleaned and put inside a pit to rest with the
other babies, she pours a liquid into his mouth. Afterward, he is able
to speak and understand the local language.<br /><br />Somewhere further
away, a battle between humanoids is happening. They fight on airships,
one side blue and the other side red. On a red ship, three bald figures
appear and approach General Sab Than (Dominic West).
They give him a blue mesh device that gives him the ability to shoot
bolts of energy, but when he tries to shoot the three figures he is
instead blasted backwards. The three figures laugh. They are Therns,
representatives of the Goddess, and she has chosen to side with Prince
Sab Than of Zodanga in this conflict. The Thern leader, Matai Shang (Mark Strong), gestures for him to test his holy new powers. The general sends bolts of energy to the enemy ships and wins the combat.<br /><br />In the royal palace of Helium, Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins) is practicing a speech. Her father Tardos Mors (Ciarán Hinds),
the Jeddak, arrives arguing with an entourage. Dejah demonstrates a
machine that generates a weak blue ray -- something she calls the ninth
ray, which she claims is the source of their enemy Zodaga's new power.
As the entourage discuss the possibilities, one of them discreetly zaps
the device, making it fail. Tardos understands that this power could
help level the battlefield, but they have no time to further their
research into this mysterious blue ray. He dismisses the group and tells
Dejah she has to marry Sab Than to end the conflict. Dejah is
devastated; she knows that the wedding is unlikely to stop Zodagan
expansion, and that once married she would no longer be able to continue
her research.<br /><br />Back in Tharkville Carter now has a guardian,
Woola, a massive, wide-mouthed, low-to-the-ground creature that is very
quick and insists on following Carter like a dog, no matter how high or
how far he jumps. Carter is disgruntled, as he is trying to find Tars
Tarkas to retrieve the medallion, but Woola is able to catch up with him
and make enough noise to thwart Carter's plans. Carter ends up jumping
into a Thark party, and Woola bursts in and loudly disrupts the
gathering. The angry Tharks beat Woola and his owner, Sola. Enraged,
Carter jumps in to stop the beating, unintentionally killing a Thark as a
result and proving his ability to jump long distances. The Tharks see
Carter as a new weapon but are angry at Sola for allowing him to escape.
They brand her in front of Carter, who watches in horror as the Tharks
warn her that her next offense will lead to death because she has
transgressed so many times that she has no room on her skin for more
brands.<br /><br />The Tharks take cover when a sentry warns of flying
craft. Three flying battleships appear in the sky, two chasing one. They
close in for boarding parties and hand to hand combat. Tarkas watches
with a telescope and explains the war to Carter: the Zodangans are
fighting the Heliumites. On the ship Dejah Thoris attempts to escape,
then falls and hangs on several hundred feet up. Carter sees she is
"human" and jumps to her rescue. With his ability to jump long distances
he manages to rescue the girl and starts to defend her, only for her to
prove her own fighting ability. Still, Carter is able to turn the tide
of the battle, but the blue Helium craft crashes.<br /><br />After this
spectacle Tars Tarkas makes Carter his "right arm," bestowing the name
Dotar Sojat, and gives him Dejah Thoris as a prize. Tars Tarkas's rival
Tal Hajus (Thomas Haden Church),
a warrior with a broken tusk, looks on in angry disapproval. Carter is
reminded of Powell and refuses the position, but Tarkas says that if
Carter rejects the offer Tarkas would be unable to spare Dejah's life.
Carter reluctantly agrees, and soon finds himself fending off everyone's
inquires about his ability. Dejah wants to learn how to jump as Carter
can, but figures that the ability is likely related to Carter's
different bone density and thus it would not be a skill she or anyone
else could learn. Tarkas knows that she is trying to gain a new weapon
for Helium and warns Carter against her. Carter just wants to go home.
He tries describing his home to Dejah but she thinks him either insane
or a liar because he describes an environment that hasn't existed here
for thousands of years. Seeing his seriousness, she guesses he is a
Thern, leading them to a discussion of astronomy and finally the
realization that Carter is from Earth, which she calls Jasoom, but he is
currently on Mars -- Barsoom.<br /><br />If there is indeed a way of
traveling between the worlds the Therns will likely know the answer.
Although Sola tries to stop them, Carter and Dejah Thoris enter a cave
that is supposed to be a temple of the Goddess and her followers the
Therns. Dejah reads some ancient markings, but before they can proceed
the three are arrested by the Tharks for going into the temple. Tarkas
helps them all escape, at great personal risk, and Carter guesses Sola
is his daughter. Considering that Thark custom is to hatch their young
in isolation and rear them anonymously, there had to have been plenty of
law breaking involved.<br /><br />Sola, Cater, and Dejah Thoris journey to
the river Isis to solve the temple mystery, taking the medallion. Along
the way Sola warns Carter that Dejah Thoris is leading them astray.
Confronted, she admits they were headed for Helium, and a furious Carter
makes to abandon her as he realizes she may have been manipulating him
to turn him into her new weapon. He ignores Dejah's pleas until she
finally admits she did have a personal interest in the battle for she is
the Helium princess, likely to be married off to the Zodangan prince
and potentially killed. Carter convinces her that he needs time, and
that they should go to Isis first. The river is a path for pilgrims;
those who have sinned or have lived too long follow the river to end
their lives and find paradise. Sola, seeing what seem to be Tharks
sailing away and bodies on the ground, almost joins them until Carter
stops her.<br /><br />Up the winding river they find an inverted stone
pyramid. Carter and Dejah Thoris enter and glowing blue graphics show
the solar system. Dejah Thoris realizes the blue light is not
supernatural but generated by machines -- it's the ninth ray, the same
blue ray she had been researching and that the enemy had been using as a
weapon. They also realize that Carter's entry into Mars likely had been
due to telegraphing a copy of himself from Earth to Mars.<br /><br />Outside,
an army of Tharks approach, directed by Matai Shang. He is curious
about the stranger that is getting himself involved with the wars, and
intends to test his ability. Carter and the two women mount up and
scramble. As the hordes approach, Carter tells the others to flee (over
Dejah Thoris's objections); he returns to fight the rampaging army with
only his pet, Woola. Killing many, he recalls the devastation of war and
finding his dead wife and child in a burned farmhouse. Carter is
eventually overcome. Just then a Helium battle cruiser arrives to end
the fight. Tardos Mors and Sab Than disembark. Sab Than offers his sword
to Dejah Thoris as a sign of trust and asks her to marry him. Dejah
Thoris almost kills him anyway, but stops herself and instead makes them
take the wounded Carter to Zodanga to be healed.<br /><br />Carter awakes
in a guarded room. At first he thinks he is in Helium but the red
clothed guards laugh and tells him he is in Zodaga. As he muses on being
in enemy territory, a man dressed in blue appears. He is Kantos Kan (James Purefoy)
and he issues orders about putting Carter under higher security. Once
close enough, he whispers to Carter to take him hostage, but Carter is
too confused, and an exasperated Kantos pretends to be held hostage as
he leads Carter away from the guards.<br /><br />The two jump to a nearby
tower. Inside, Dejah Thoris is dressed in wedding finery. After thanking
Kantos for bringing Carter to her she dismisses everyone in the room.
Again she asks Carter again to fight on her side. He refuses again, and
finally she sees the marriage ring on his finger. Understanding that his
heart belonged to another but now knowing that the other woman is dead,
Dejah Thoris tells him the magic words that will transport him back to
earth. Outside, Zodagan guards demand entry, but when the door opens
Carter has vanished. Dejah Thoris and the others leave, but the Matron
of Chamber (Cate Fowler) returns to the room and finds Carter in a
ceiling recess. She uses a blue ray to immobilize him then transforms
into Matai Shang, leader of the Therns. He forces Carter to come with
him and explains how the Therns are managing the end of Mars. To prove
their ability, Matai Shang changes into a Zodagan officer (Darwin Shaw)
as he leads Carter outside, then into an elderly woman (Eileen Page) as
they watch Dejah Thoris being paraded down a street. Almost lightly,
Matai Shang tells Carter that after the marriage Dejah Thoris and anyone
else who knows about the blue ray will be killed.<br /><br />Suddenly
Carter's pet Woola arrives in a flurry, and he manages to escape on a
flying single seater. He crash lands ouside of town, close to Sola.
Knowing he is unable to challenge the Zodagan military or the Therns by
himself, he decides to return to Tharkville and ask for their help.
Carter and Sola arrive safely but the Tharks throw Carter in jail, where
he finds an imprisoned Tars Tarkas, also in chains. Tarkas tells Carter
that he had been overthrown by one-tusked Tal Hajus (Thomas Haden
Church). Tarkas is furious when he learns that Carter brought Sola back,
and would have killed him were not for the fact that he had been beaten
and drastically weakened. The prisoners are eventually taken to a large
coliseum and made to fight giant white apes. Sola causes a distraction
in the stands and Carter manages to kill the two beasts. As the Tharks
cheer for him, he challenges Tal Hajus for the role of Jeddak. Carter
quickly beheads him. Now leader of the Tharks, he had an army willing to
fight for him.<br /><br />He leads them back to Zodanga to stop the
wedding. On arrival they find the city empty -- everyone has gone to
Helium. An unimpressed Tars Tarkas smacks Carter on the head, since
there is no way they can make it to the wedding in time. Carter points
to the airships but the Tharks refuse, so he takes off by himself in a
single-seater. Zodangan guards spot him as he approaches but as he's
flying a Zondangan aircraft, they assume he's part of their plan and let
him pass. As the wedding ceremony is starting Carter crashes in. Dejah
Thoris is thrilled to see him but it is too late as the signal had been
cast. Zodangans begin attacking the Heliumites, and once again Matai
Shang and his blue ray seem unstoppable. Suddenly a huge cruiser crashes
in too, the Tharks have arrived to follow their leader. They join the
Heliumite army and fight off the Zodangans. Matai Shang manages to
escape but Carter recovers the medallion.<br /><br />With the immediate
threat of Zodanga gone and now knowing where his heart is, Carter takes
his wedding wing and asks Dejah to marry him. She agrees and both Helium
and Thark rejoice. That night Carter is restless and steps out of the
room. He tosses the medallion far away. As he passes by a guard, the
guard reaches out and grabs him, morphing into Matai Shang right before
Carter is sent back to the Arizona cave. Carter wakens dusty and
bearded; the Colonel is but a skeleton.<br /><br />The Carter narrative
continues, he realizes there must be Therns on earth and spends the next
10 years looking for another medallion. He appears to find something in
the Orkneys. He prepares a crypt on his estate so he can return to Mars
and leave his body safe on earth. Nephew Edgar is to be entrusted with
keeping him safe because it is likely that the Therns are going to
attack his body -- perhaps right at the moment when Edgar is reading the
journal. Horrified, Edgar runs to check the crypt, not knowing he is
being followed. After a few tense seconds he figures out the password to
enter and opens the door, but the crypt is empty. A Thern appears and
is about to move forward, but is shot dead. Edgar turns around to see
Carter outside holding a gun. Carter explains he took a drug that made
it appear that he was dead, and Edgar realizes he was simply bait to
draw out a Thern and enable Carter to obtain the medallion he needs to
go back to Dejah Thoris. Carter corrects him, saying that Edgar is
indeed going to play a very important role: the protection of Carter's
body as he returns to his true home. Taking the medallion from the dead
Thern, Carter goes into the crypt, lies down and recites the phrase to
return to... Barsoom!

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In the last moments of World War II, a secret Nazi space program evaded
destruction by fleeing to the Dark Side of the Moon. During 70 years of
utter secrecy, the Nazis construct a gigantic space fortress with a
massive armada of flying saucers.<br /><br />When American astronaut James
Washington (Christopher Kirby) puts down his Lunar Lander a bit too
close to the secret Nazi base, the Moon Führer (Udo Kier) decides the
glorious moment of retaking the Earth has arrived sooner than expected.
Washington claims the mission is just a publicity stunt for the
President of the United States (Stephanie Paul), but what else could the
man be but a scout for the imminent attack by Earth forces? The Fourth
Reich must act!<br /><br />Two Nazi officers, ruthless Klaus Adler (Götz
Otto) and idealistic Renate Richter (Julia Dietze), travel to Earth to
prepare the invasion. In the end when the Moon Nazi UFO armada darkens
the skies, ready to strike at the unprepared Earth, every man, woman and
nation alike, must re-evaluate their priorities.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Synopsis/Plot</b></span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Eragon (Ed Speleers) is a 17-year-old farm boy who lives in
the small village of Carvahall in the fictional country of Alagaësia. The story
begins with Arya, an elf & princess of Ellesméra, running for her life with
a "stone" stolen from the evil king, Galbatorix. She is surrounded by
a ring of fire created by a shade (dark sorcerer) called Durza, and to protect
the stone from him she uses her magic to send it to a distant forest where the
young farmer Eragon is hunting for food. The stone magically appears before
Eragon who then takes it to his hometown in hopes of trading it for food. After
he brings it home, he realizes it is an egg as a blue dragon hatches from it.
As he reaches to touch the dragon, a magical mark is burned into his palm,
magic that is felt all across the land by those who have a connection to legend
of the dragon, mainly Arya, a former dragon rider named Brom, and Galbatorix
himself. Eragon tries to keep the dragon & take care of it until Galbatorix
sends the Ra'zac (his monster minions) to capture Eragon and his new dragon.
Eragon sends the dragon into the sky so she may learn to fly, which she
succeeds before returning to him fully grown due to her magic. She reveals
herself to him as Saphira & that they are able to hear each others'
thoughts. After seeing the Ra'zac in town, Eragon hurries home to protect his
uncle, but Saphira picks him up and tells him that the monsters are after him.
When he finally gets home, Eragon finds his uncle dead and blames Saphira,
sending her away. As he mourns over his uncle's body, Brom arrives, asking
Eragon to call his dragon. After a brief scuffle, Brom implores Eragon to leave
town, in which they do after Brom sets fire to his uncle's barn, burning his
remains.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On the way to the Varden (rebel freedom fighters devoted to
destroying Galbatorix), Eragon learns that he and Saphira have a special
attachment like other dragon riders, and if he dies, she will die as well. Brom
also tells him that he is not fully ready to face the Ra'zac or Durza, and
starts training him in sword-fighting and magic. On the way they take shelter
in a small village, where a fortune-teller tells Eragon that a woman is calling
her name so that he can save her and his path is full of deadly obstacles. Soon
they are attacked by Urgals, but Eragon unintentionally produces magic, which
wipes them out & causes him to go unconscious from the strain of the magic.
Eragon soon learns how to produce small scale magic and to bond his powers with
Saphira.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After seeing Ra'zac's fall, Durza uses his black magic on
Arya, setting a trap to make Eragon come to him and try to rescue her. Even
after Brom's warning, Eragon comes and rescues Arya till he is confronted by
Durza. During the fight, Durza magically hurls a spear at Eragon, but Brom
throws himself in the way and is mortally wounded. During the fight, a
mysterious hooded figure shoots an arrow at Durza's head, causing him to
disappear. They all escape from there and soon Brom dies of his wounds, while
flying on the wings of a dragon one last time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Following the way to find the Varden, Eragon takes oath so
that he may fulfill Brom's destiny: to overthrow the tyrannical empire of the
evil king, Galbatorix. As Arya goes weak from Durza's poison, Eragon confronts
the hooded figure that has been following him. He reveals himself to be
Murtagh, who offers to take them to the Varden. Once there, the Varden welcome
the new rider, but expose Murtagh for what he really is, the son of the traitorous
Morzan who betrayed the dragon riders. Eragon, Saphira, Arya, and the Varden
prepare for war as Durza and his men surround the rebel camp. The Varden fight
with Galbatorix's men as Eragon & Saphira duel in the skies with Durza
flying on a shadowy beast of dark magic. Eragon & Saphira are successful in
killing Durza, but not before Saphira is mortally wounded in the battle. Eragon
uses his magic to heal her wounds and once again passes out from the strain.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The following morning, Eragon awakes with Murtagh at his
side. He calls for Saphira, fearing she might have died from the battle, but
she appears fully healed. They fly off together to catch up with Arya as she is
on her way to Ellesméra to help lead the elves against Galbatorix in the coming
war. She calls Eragon "Shadeslayer" and bids him goodbye.</span></div>
