China's deceleration for much of 2012 heightened fears about the global economy. But the world's growth engine appears to be picking up steam again thanks to wider financing, looser real estate conditions and large, broad-based wage gains.
Evidence is mounting that August was the low, said Bill Adams, senior international economist at PNC Financial. While he doesn't see explosive growth, the trajectory has changed and should produce a bigger positive swing in sentiment on the world's No. 2 economy.
"It looks like the numbers going forward will be a bit better," he said. "The direction is improvement."
Earlier this month, Beijing said Q3 GDP expanded 7.4% vs. a year earlier, the seventh straight quarter of deceleration. But annual growth in industrial production, exports and retail sales increased in September.
The Shanghai composite has rallied over the past month from a multiyear low.
Meanwhile, China's political leadership changes hands in a process that begins next month.
Adams expects economic growth to accelerate to 8.2% in 2013 from 7.7% this year.
Beijing has cut interest rates, as well as the level of reserves banks must hold. But innovation in financing is providing credit to firms that previously had limited access, especially privately owned companies, he said.
The share of new funding from traditional bank loans — which largely went to state-owned enterprises — has shrunk to about 60% during Q1-Q3 this year from about 70% in 2009.
Inflation also has continued to slow, allowing the government to ease monetary conditions and policies meant to cool real estate.
Property sales in Q3 were up 46% from the first half of the year and 38% from all of 2011, according to a PNC report. Average house prices have risen sequentially for four straight months through September.
New infrastructure projects are in the works too. But the scale is smaller than what Beijing unleashed during the global financial crisis. "It's more that the government has stopped trying to slow the economy," Adams said.
Economy Rebalancing
China's tight labor market has helped incomes rise faster than GDP. While that makes exports less competitive, it will help the economy rebalance toward consumer-oriented growth vs. export-driven growth.
Financial results from Chinese companies catering to domestic, mass-market shoppers signal that consumption gains extend beyond the wealthy, Adams said.
"It's a reason for confidence that the growth we're seeing this year will likely continue," he said.
The government has pledged to invest more in health, education and social programs to encourage the Chinese to spend their money on consumer products.
The once-a-decade political handover has historically coincided with new infrastructure spending that the new leadership can point to, noted Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State University Channel Islands.
The Chinese government sees more work to be done, but that could be a risk too.
Beijing has emphasized fine-tuning the economy rather than delivering massive jolts of stimulus. That can be seen in its monetary policy shifts, which Sohn thinks could be overdoing it.
"They want to meddle every step of the way," he said. "That's a source of volatility."

A new campaign to combat modern-day slavery in Houston is combining the resources of law enforcement and non-government organizations across the city to catch the crooks and help the victims. Human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal industry in the United States.
Human traffickers most often target women and children from other countries by promising a new life in America, a dream that's often shattered with the victims forced into prostitution or other forced labor when they get here. The new awareness campaign by the US Department of Health and Human Services utilizes the resources of both government and non-government organizations that come in contact with victims of human trafficking on a regular basis. Steve Wagner runs the HHS's Trafficking Program. "We want to make sure that people who are likely to encounter victims of human trafficking are aware that this is going on, they know how to recognize a victim and they know what to do when they find one," he says.
It's estimated up to 17,500 men, women and children are trafficked to the US every year. Within the past two weeks, 14 people have been busted here in Houston for alleged human trafficking that involved forced prostitution. "We have no idea what the population of trafficked persons is at this point in time. We can't tell you how many victims there are in Houston, but because of the busts that we saw over the weekend, because of other cases of trafficking that have come to light, it's very clear that human trafficking is a substantial problem in Houston," says Wagner.
The awareness campaign combines training and television and print ads that tell victims where to go for help. Assistant US Attorney for the Southern District Don DeGabrielle says law enforcement and non-government organizations have traditionally worked separately on the problem. "We are working together now. We are working to prevent, not just to prosecute. We are lending our resources to the non-governmental organizations who have gotten together and said we need to work together, that's the only way that we're going to solve this particular problem," he says.

Canada ethics boss reviewing C$90,000 check to senator
By Randall Palmer
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson is reviewing a move by Prime Minister Stephen Harper's chief of staff to write a personal check for C$90,000 ($88,000) to a Conservative senator so he could repay housing allowances he should not have received.
News of the gift by Chief of Staff Nigel Wright, a wealthy former businessman, to Senator Mike Duffy is the latest embarrassment for Harper, whose Conservative government was elected on a promise of accountability.
Opposition politicians demanded on Wednesday an independent inquiry into expense claims made by members of the Senate, the upper house of Parliament, and said a "dark cloud of ethical failures" stretched to senior levels of government.
Dawson's spokeswoman, Jocelyne Brisebois, said the ethics commissioner is reviewing Wright's involvement in the repayment "of a senator's expenses" and is following up with Wright on his obligations under the Conflict of Interest Act.
A Senate investigation found last week that Duffy and two other senators were not entitled to housing allowances they had claimed.
Duffy agreed to pay his allowances back to the government, but because he did not have the money available, Wright cut him a check from his own account, Harper's chief spokesman Andrew MacDougall said.
Repaying the money was the right thing to do, and taxpayers were not on the hook, MacDougall said, adding that Harper had not been aware that Wright had covered Duffy's expenses.
However, in addition to federal conflict-of-interest law governing public office holders such as Wright, it appeared that Duffy might have broken Senate rules that say members cannot take gifts "that could reasonably be considered to relate to the senator's position". Continued...

Times really must be tough at poor old Norton Rose. Litigation partner James Bagge, clearly strapped for cash, has headed off on his summer holiday bound not for Belize or Cannes, but the dusty trails of Spain.
Bagge is setting out on a one-month walking tour to Santiago de Compostela. Apparently, even modern day pilgrims are supposed to beg for food and shelter. They carry nothing but a cake of soap. Not even a Blackberry: how will the poor modern lawyer survive?
Maybe it's the three days of free food at the end of the trip that is driving Bagge ever onwards. Maybe it's the elusive search for the Holy Grail – aka Norton Rose's profits. Donations of Imperial Leather can be sent to Kempson House.

Despite the digital revolution and everyone having a camera with them at all times, real portraiture printed for display is still as important today as it has ever been.
Having family portraits on display in your home should be part of your decor, its there to see every day. Its also hugely important for your children's self esteem too, perhaps more then any of us realise. Imagine how you feel when you see a great family portrait on the wall, your children feel this too.
We believe portraits should be seen, not stuffed in a draw or relegated to your computer hard drive.
Capturing moments in a families life, creating beautiful artwork for your home.

A dynamic, engaging head shot portrait is your front page for YOU. It should have personality, connection with the viewer and make people want to do business with you.
It is not however, a nice picture taken by someone with 'a nice camera'.
I've heard it so many times..... "Geoff in the office has a nice camera, I'll get him to take one". Please, don't do this.
Whether you chose to book a professional or not is your choice, but it may not be the best option to get a colleague to do it if they lack the skills and experience to create an engaging portrait. It also makes you look cheap, not interested in your image to others, think how much that could cost you in the long run.
I'm sure we have all seen the terrible selfies on Linked In, and it still shocks me that many simply do not appreciate the power and true value of a great portrait.
Food for thought......
Call for a chat about your new head shots - 07970 722223
At RUBY STUDIOS, we just love working with tiny people. All squishy and cute, they make such great subjects and as a parent, I know how important photos are.
As children grow, they change so fast, capture those stages with beautiful engaging portraits. We love working with children at any age, I know what you are thinking, "my two and a half year old will be a challenge", well, you know what? We absolutely love a challenge. Chasing a crazed toddler around the studio is way more fun than you may realise, it also saves me having to go to the gym!

Hospital of Cook County, Chicago, IL
PURPOSE: To determine factors that influence interpretability rates of screening spirometries obtained in community settings. Widespread spirometric testing has been advocated to diagnose early chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. There is little information on the efficacy of mass screening spirometry performed in community settings.
METHODS: Two cohorts were studied: 1) Cohort P were 1819 subjects presenting to a national pharmacy chain for a "free lung test" to rule out COPD. They were tested by 55 volunteer respiratory care practitioners who had received four hours of training. 2) Cohort S who were 350 subjects presenting to local schools to rule out asthma. They were tested by 7 lay research assistants who had completed 16 hours of a NIOSH spirometry. The spirometry studies were read by independent pulmonologists according to ATS 1994 acceptability and reproducibility criteria.
RESULTS: 36% of Cohort P were male as were 22% of Cohort S. Cohort P had a mean age of 58 compared to 31 in Cohort S. 70% of the studies in Cohort A were interpretable and 90% of studies in Cohort B (p < 0.001). Heavier individuals were more likely to have interpretable spirometries, BMI of 29 kg/m2 versus 27 kg/m2 (p < .001). Binary logistic regression analysis showed subjects tested by personnel who had received 16 hours training and who averaged > 50 studies per person had the highest predictive power for interpretability vs personnel who had 4 hours of training and averaged < 12 studies per person. In Cohort P, female gender and higher BMI were associated with interpretability whereas age and smoking status were not significant. In Cohort S, male gender was the only predictor of interpretability.
CONCLUSION: Large scale screening can be performed successfully in community settings with interpretability rates of greater than 70%. The number hours of training and the number of studies performed per technician appear to be more important than patient characteristics.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Large scale spirometric screening programs may provide useful data even when performed in non-clinical settings.

I just started up my new job at Image Engine, very exciting! The New Year also brings back an exercise regime. I started P90X 2 this week, having completed the first four days. So far it's been a lot of fun; not necessarily harder than the first but a bit different so nice to switch things up. I am gearing up training for Tough Mudder. I'll be entering this at the end of June with a few friends (unless we all back out)...
I also did my yearly review and set up my goals for 2012. I managed to complete a lot last year; most notably living and working overseas, and traveling Asia for 3 months. What an amazing experience. Though, even with the rain, I sure am happy to be back in Vancouver. I hearts Vancouver.
Goals for January!
- Get my finances back in order! Being out of the country for a year and a half and having to become a non-resident kinda screwed with a lot of that so... back on track.
- Start P90X 2. This is 3 months, and I plan to following it properly if I can. Thankfully this program is 5 days a week instead of 6, so it's a little more manageable time wise.
- 30 Day Challenge: No added sugar. I'm cutting out chocolate, sweets, and adding sugar to my coffee/tea for the month. I think I had enough in December for a few lifetimes.
We'll start with that... that'll be good.

The description of the original algorithm could be found in the paper, 'A New Implementation Of Yen's Ranking Loopless Paths Algorithm' (http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/martins00new.html).
IntroductionYen's algorithm is one of derivation algorithms for ranking the K shortest paths between a pair of nodes 1. It always searches the shortest paths in a "pseudo"-tree containing K shortest loopless paths. The very shortest one is obtained in the first place, and the second shortest path is always explored on the basis of the shortest paths that are shorter. In our paper, we exploit the implementation of Yen's algorithm in 1. Compared with the straightforward implementation of Yen's algorithm, the one present in 1 is proved to have a better performance in computational experiments, although the complexity of them are the same, O(Kn(m+nlogn)) in the worst case analysis.
ImplementationC++ language is used to implement Yen's algorithm, because of its high performance. In the implementation, we exploit the graph package in the boost c++ libraries 2, when calculating the shortest path in the graph. 2 provides the Fortran implementation of this algorithm. Java version is added. New C# version is added. ReferenceM. Pascoal and E. Martins. A new implementation of Yen's ranking loopless paths algorithm. 4OR – Quarterly Journal of the Belgian, French and Italian Operations Research Societies, 2003. http://www.mat.uc.pt/~eqvm/OPP/KSPP/KSPP.html. Boost C++ Libraries, http://www.boost.org/. UpdateA fix on the comparator associated with Class QYDirectedPath is provided for the CPP implementation. Thanks a lot to timothyahahn. The implementation of top-k shortest path algorithm in C# by Vinh Bui (firstname.lastname@example.com) is added. Note that I don't test this code completely.

Gay Days 2012 Jun 05, 2012
The entire staff was great!! Always pleasent and with a smile on their face. Spent four days there for Gay Days 2012.
Anytime we needed towles, blankets, or whatever they were their to help.
The food menu needs to have a better selection. The breakfast buffet was awesome. $16.95 for all you can eat. the selection was great and fresh omlets made to order.
Their is a Village Inn, Liquor Store, and Minimart across the street from the hotel.
It's only $25 for a van taxi to International Drive.
The location was nice.
Three pools to choose from. The main pool close to the main lobby had a waterfall. The hotel was well landscaped and had plenty of parking.

Nice hotel and nice staff, plus; they recycle Jun 04, 2012
I have stayed at this hotel 3 times now for business purposes. The hotel is very big and looks great. They pay a lot of attention to tidyness and overall ambiance.
They swimmingpool is nice with a waterfall and there are always fresh towels available.
Rooms are great. One thing that I like less is that I personally think there's not a lot of fresh air in the room, the airco is fully aquipt with cool and warm options, low, middle and high, but I had trouble with lack of fresh air.
Besides that everything is good. I especially like that there are 2 recycle bins in the room. For glass, paper and plastic. Very positive.
Conclusion; I would recommand this hotel!

Great spot for SeaWorld visitors Nov 07, 2011
Disclaimer: I didn't pay the regular rate for this hotel. I got an exceptionally large discount because I cashed in a reward night from Hotels.com. Otherwise, this hotel would've been a lot more expensive. Based on the price that I paid for the night I stayed at this hotel (about $53 USD), it was an exceptional bargain, hence the high ratings. If I had paid the regular rate, the value rating wouldn't be as high.
Okay, now that I've established that...I stayed here recently for night, not to go to SeaWorld (even though it's very nearby), but to hang out with an old friend from South Carolina who was in Orlando for a conference. She was staying in a very expensive hotel, and even with my hotels.com discount, it would've been a lot more than I was willing to pay. So I chose this hotel instead.
When I pulled up to the hotel entrance to check in, I was surprised that the valet made me leave him my car keys (WTF?). Check in was smooth, and I even got a fresh baked chocolate chip walnut welcome cookie. Tasty :)
I was informed that if I wanted to park, it would cost $18 to valet overnight or $10 to self park overnight. What a rip off! I could understand if the hotel was downtown, but these folks were clearly trying to take advantage of the guests by instituting paid parking - there was plenty of space! I begrudgingly accepted the self-parking terms.
The room itself was very nice and spacious, with huge king-sized bed, flat-screen TV and large bathroom. There was no tub, which was fine because I wouldn't have used it anyway lol. The shower floor and the bathroom floor were the same (see the picture), so you don't have to step up or down into it. The A/C worked great too. My only complaint was the iPod clock, which for some reason wouldn't charge my phone. But it was ok, since I had my own charger anyway.
My favorite feature of the room was the bed, which was very comfortable; I was sad to leave it in the morning lol. The shower was also really cool. It even had chairs in it so you can sit down and wash if you wanted.
Check out sucked. I had to wait in line, which I'm unaccustomed to doing when leaving a hotel. Usually, there's an express check out option in the hotels I stay in, but not at this place. That fact, plus the parking stipulation (not only did I have to pay the $10, but I had trouble getting through the gate because my key card didn't work properly, so I had to go back to the lobby and get another one) is why I only gave the service three stars.
Again, this hotel is great if you plan to go to SeaWorld. In fact, it claims to be an official SeaWorld hotel, and I think you can even buy tickets to the park in the lobby. And the hotel is on International Drive, which is a major street in Orlando with lots of shops and restaurants, so the location is great.
As far as value goes...well, it's Orlando. Hotels close to International Drive are often expensive, and the regular rate for me would've been about $150 USD for the night. Is the hotel worth that? I suppose so, but if you've got a car, I would recommend staying someplace a little further out, like The Florida Hotel (see my hotel review on it).

The International Plaza is situation on International drive just 10 minuites away from Sea world.
It holds a gym, a health spa, a play area, its own deli sandwich bar, a restraunt and 3 adult swimming pools 1 childs pool and a sauna!
The rooms come fully equiped with ensuite bath and shower facilities with his and her's sink's. A large wardrobe is in each room equiped with an iron & board as well as a safe with a key free of charge. The rooms also have a fridge to store drinks in the hot days aswel as a airconditioning machine for those nights you dont want to sleep with the balcony door open. On the balcony you will find tables and chairs.
The rooms come with lots of pillows and table and chair or a sofa if you have a king sized bedroom. The double rooms come with two double beds and the king sized is as stated a king sized bed and a sofa. All rooms come with plenty of storage and a TV with lots and lots of stations, movies are optional but have to be paid for. The room also comes with a phone.
The hotel provides a shuttle service to all theme parks that are free of charge for those people who booked the attractions in with the hotel package, if you didnt the service is still available to you at $10.
The staff are welcoming and friendly and are eager to offer advice and assistance. Taxi services are always at hand and the american taxis are far nicer than the Uk cabs.
The hotel also holds conventions and guests are welcome to go and explore.
Prices in the hotel are moderlty expensive at $4 for a bottle of water - however you do not have to use them. The restraunt onsite does do some nice food however the menu never changes and is on the expensive side, i advise to venture from the hotel across the road to the Village Inn family restraunt that is 10/10.
On your departure you are welcome to store luggage for the day if you have a late flight free of charge in a secure air conditioned room.

A 25-year £50-per-month mortgage endowment policy with AXA Sun Life is worth £42,827 today, £7,026 less than a year ago.
The same policy with the Sun Life Assurance Society is worth £44,225, compared to £50,307 in March 2003.
The company joins a growing band of insurers that have cut rates. Last week, Liverpool Victoria said its policies were also worth less than a year ago, while heavyweights, such as Norwich Union, have also cut with-profits payouts.
Peter Shelley, AXA chief actuary, said: 'A year of improved stock market conditions - where our funds returned positive growth of over 11% - has helped to start to reverse the recent downward trend in with profits returns.'
He added: ' As with-profits funds work on a medium to long term basis due to the smoothing element within them, it is likely to take a further period of positive stock market performance before regular bonus rates could begin to climb again.'
Regular bonus rates were maintained at last year's levels on around two-thirds of AXA Sun Life's 1.6m policies, while the remainder were reduced by between 0.25% and 0.75%.
Tom McPhail, head of pensions research at Hargreaves Lansdown, said the announcement was predictable.
'AXA's pre-tax returns of 11.8% and 11.1% are reasonably respectable. The results are not as good as Prudential, but are in line with expectations.'

Wonderful Color?
By Donna
from Oklahoma
Comments about Caran d'Ache Pablo Colored Pencils:
While they are a bit pricey, you will find out why when you lay down this pigment. Especially when finishing a piece, the extra "pop" is great.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Can't be Beat!
By JacNanArts
from Silver Springs, Florida USA
Excellent quality and fantastic vibrant color selection. The lead is always in the center of the pencil after sharpening. The colors blend well on paper surface and are not too soft or too hard. The price is higher than other pencils on the market but it is worth it because the results are outstanding.

I have been buying them for a couple years and like texture.
By Dick Mueller
from Cave creek, Arizona
I prefer a flat end like Prismacolor because you can super glue the short stub of one pencil to the end of another and not waste any of a pencil. That would be the only change I would make.
would buy all the Caran d'Arche pencils if could afford

Great pencil
By Stephanie
from Oregon and Arizona
I primarily use Faber Castell Polychromos, and purchased some Pablo's to supplement colors not available in the Faber Castell. These are a quality pencil. They are a little softer than the Polychromos and lay down rich color. To do it again I would have purchased the entire set....I may still do that. I am just starting in colored pencil but really can appreciate quality products to produce fine art.

excellent pencils
By Dee
from Scranton, PA
This high quality pencil houses a high quality lead. It sharpens without fail to a precision point that never falls out due to internal breaks or voids. Its range of colors I find spectrally complete and seems to offer the most colors of any professional, (excluding Prisma Color which I do not consider professional). I also appreciate its readable color names at the top that allows you to use the entire pencil and read it to the bitter end, and their opach color codings on the outside of the pencil is remarkably accurate and corresponds nicely with the lead inside. This feature is surprisingly absent in a well thought of pencil like Derwent's. This pencil is my first choice for paper applications (drawing), and I have tried them all.
Great pencils so far
By Patti B
from Athens, AL
I haven't had the chance to work with these pencils too much but like them so far. I'll have to let you know more after using for awhile.

There are no negatives that she has made me aware of, and that means it's a solid 10 on every scale you can devise. As she has 2 Master's Degrees, I must humbly submit to her judgment on her satisfaction with the Pablo pencil.,

Caran d'Ache Pablo are best colored pencils and Blick has th
By Bonccfk
from Cape Coral, FL
I use Blick to get replacement pencils because I seem to wear some of the colors down to the nub. I can order the individual pencils I need from Dick Blick. They are also cheaper than other sites and ship quickly.
Soft and water-resistant, Pablo pencils offer superb lightfastness and bright, clean colors. These professional quality colored pencils have soft and highly pigmented cores, so they will cover surfaces completely. In addition to paper, they are also great on wood and for colorizing photographs. See Pablo pencils in action.

Speaking to reporters outside the meeting venue, Ramdev said that there has been some consensus on some issues. He added that a broad talk was done and detailed discussion was yet to happen that will hopefully put some breakthrough in the discussion.
Ramdev later talked to reporters on the meeting and said that all black money should be brought back to the country and declared as national property. He also demanded naming the tax evaders and called for the the establishment of specialized courts to deal exclusively with corruption.
Speaking comprehensively on the various ills hampering growth in the country and said that a Public Service Delivery Act be established to book all those people who have stashed money abroad. He also demanded timely action on all his demands.
Speaking on the injustice meted out to farmers in UP, Ramdev held them in high regard and said that thy were not just "unskilled labour" but were the ones who give us food and grains for existence. He also commented strongly on the education sector and said that all professional institutions like engineering and medical colleges teach the subject in Hindi and other regional languages so that students in villages will be benefited.
He also slammed the huge amount spent on elections and campaigning and said that the state must fund the polls.
He also divulged that close to Rs 50 lakh crore needs to come into India from Mauritius. He said that all those business and private individuals who have invested abroad are misusing the laws of the land. He said that if such tangible steps are taken to bring back the black money, the day will not be far when 1 Rupee will be equal to 50 US dollars and not the other way round.

text: Year In Review Most Surprising (and Disappointing) Movies of 2013: 'Man of Steel,' 'Pain & Gain,' MoreFrom the terrible Superman flick 'Man of Steel' to the deliriously entertaining 'Pain & Gain,' the most surprising (and disappointing) movies of the year. Marlow Stern12.31.13 5:45 AM ETMost Surprising (and Disappointing) Movies of 2013It was William Shakespeare who once said, "Expectation is the root of all heartache." And, with so much advance media coverage of movies—including written features, fanboy-enraging "spoilers," and eye-catching trailers—expectations for certain films can get pretty high. Plus, with movie tickets running cinemagoers up to $25 a ticket these days ($100 for a family of four!) you've got a right to be pissed off if the product you shelled out your hard-earned money for is utter shit. So, from the terrible Superman flick Man of Steel to the deliriously entertaining Pain & Gain, here are the most surprising (and disappointing) movies of the year. Jonathan WenkSURPRISE: 'Warm Bodies' Written and directed by Jonathan Levine (The Wackness), this romantic comedy—adapted from the YA novel of the same name—about a zombie (Nicholas Hoult) who falls for a human freedom fighter (Teresa Palmer) looks pretty awful on paper. But thanks to the two extremely likable leads, some hilarious supporting turns (Rob Corddry as a wacky zombie, John Malkovich as the head of the zombie resistance), and some inventive new zombie lore—Hoult's zombie experiences his victim's memories after consuming their brains—it's a surprisingly sweet, clever, and well-acted film. Mary CybulskiDISAPPOINTMENT: 'To the Wonder' Terrence Malick's follow-up to his spellbinding 2010 film The Tree of Life is an incoherent bore. It tells the tale of Neil (Ben Affleck, in a mostly dialogue-less turn), an American who falls for a Ukrainian divorcee (Olga Kurylenko) in Paris, relocates her to Oklahoma, then he starts a tryst with a childhood friend (Rachel McAdams). Javier Bardem also pops up as Father Quintana, a Catholic priest who tends to the poor. There's an abundance of beautiful imagery on display here—Kurylenko, in particular, is stunningly captured—but it comes at the cost of narrative, which is stunted and, at time, non-existent. SURPRISE: 'Beautiful Creatures' I had absolutely no interest in seeing Richard LaGravenese's film adaptation of a children's fantasy novel. The story of a human teen (Alden Ehrenreich) that falls for a witch (Alice Englert), looked like a lame Twilight knock-off. But, after randomly catching it on an airplane, I was pleasantly surprised. The film contains some nice visual effects, an outstanding supporting cast (Emma Thompson, Viola Davis, Jeremy Irons, Margo Martindale, Emmy Rossum), and a very impressive turn by Ehrenreich as the bookish, conflicted protagonist. Definitely worth a gander. DISAPPOINTMENT: 'The Great Gatsby' Expectations were high when it was revealed that Leonardo DiCaprio would be taking on the role of bootlegging millionaire Jay Gatsby, and reuniting with his Romeo + Juliet director Baz Luhrmann. The rest of the cast seemed great on paper, as well: Carey Mulligan as Daisy, Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway, Joel Edgerton as Tom Buchanan, the list goes on. But it's a hot, bloated, over-stylized mess from start to finish. "In addition to the dizzying parties and the narration literally splashed across the screen, Luhrmann's film employs a variety of other visual tricks, presented in 3-D, that are wildly unnecessary, including split-screens, newsreel footage, and a constantly twisting camera that pulls away fast for several overhead shots of CGI cities and towns," I wrote in my review of the film. "The two most groan-worthy moments of the film are the car accident scene with Myrtle, shot in slo-mo—and repeated twice—that's reminiscent of an overindulgent Zack Snyder action sequence, and when an apparition of Daisy actually appears in the clouds." SURPRISE: 'Spring Breakers'The last film by movie-making provocateur Harmony Korine, Trash Humpers, was a confusing Dadaist mess about a few anarchic geezers (young people in costume) wreaking havoc on the streets of Nashville, Tennessee, so it stood to reason that this gonzo flick about four hot college girls who head down to Florida for spring break, only to fall in with a fugazi white crime lord/rapper by the name of Alien (James Franco, in corn rows), would be a big ol' mess. And yet, thanks to the stunning performances—Franco is a revelation and Pretty Little Liars' Ashley Benson impresses as well, beautiful cinematography courtesy of Gaspar Noe collaborator Benoit Debie, and a hypnotizing soundtrack by composer Cliff Martinez (Drive) and Skrillex, Spring Breakers is a wholly engrossing satire of cultural wish fulfillment. Clay EnosDISAPPOINTMENT: 'Man of Steel' The trailer for director Zack Snyder and producer Christopher Nolan's Superman origin story looked like a wondrous cross between Terrence Malick and Nolan's Batman films, and yet, this overstuffed CGI-drunk blockbuster was a huge letdown. The chemistry between Clark Kent/Superman (Henry Cavill) and intrepid journalist Lois Lane (Amy Adams) is non-existent, due to the lack of character development, you have no idea why Superman even wants to save this ungrateful humans, and the whole affair soon devolves into an orgy of bodies smashing through buildings, pitting Supes against angry warlord General Zod (Michael Shannon, sporting a ridiculous bowl cut). Pass. Jaimie TruebloodSURPRISE: 'Pain & Gain' Filmmaker Michael Bay has always excelled with buddy black comedies (see: Bad Boys, The Rock), but the explosion-happy director was coming off the atrocious Transformers films, so there was genuine cause for concern here. But this flick about a trio of dim-witted, roided-up Miami body-builders (Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, Anthony Mackie) who team up to kidnap a shady businessman (Tony Shalhoub) and fleece him for everything he's got, is a really fun ride. Wahlberg and Johnson are hilarious—especially Johnson as a coked-up buffoon—,the supporting cast (Ed Harris, Rebel Wilson, etc.) are entertaining, and Bay never lets you stop to breathe, pumping this demented flick up with more juice than Jose Canseco. Susie AllnuttDISAPPOINTMENT: 'Trance' I'm a big fan of Danny Boyle's, but it seems that for every thrillingly alive film (Trainspotting) there's a clumsy B-movie (A Life Less Ordinary), and here, on the heels of Slumdog Millionaire and 127 Hours, as well as his fantastic direction of the London Olympics' opening ceremony, I expected better than this. This flick, dealing with art thieves and post-hypnotic suggestion, has a fine cast (James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson, Vincent Cassel) and is beautifully shot, but the clunky narrative makes so many left-turns that it brings you around in a maddening circle. It's far too clever and "cool" for its own good. Jaap BuitendijkSURPRISE: 'World War Z' This blockbuster adaptation of Max Brooks's post-apocalyptic zombie novel of the same name was supposed to be the next Ishtar. We were treated to story-after-story about the production nightmares, from star Brad Pitt and filmmaker Marc Forster not getting along to last-minute script doctoring and reshoots (including an altered ending), to a budget that ballooned to north of $200 million. But this zombie flick/geopolitical thriller turned out to be pretty damn fun, featuring a fine performance by Pitt as a former U.N. investigator who travels the world to stop a zombie pandemic, some outstanding set-pieces like the wild sequence of zombies storming a walled-in Jerusalem, and a magnetic supporting turn by Daniella Kertesz as Segen, a female Israeli soldier who helps Pitt. Not a disaster by any stretch. DISAPPOINTMENT: 'Only God Forgives' The reteaming of Drive director-star duo Nicolas Winding Refn and Ryan Gosling had cineastes—and young girls aged 15-30—eagerly anticipating its arrival. And yet, this pretentious Oedipal saga about a young American (Gosling) in Bangkok who's tasked by his overbearing crime lord mom (Kristin Scott Thomas) with killing a mysterious Thai policeman to avenge the death of his despicable brother is all style and precious little substance. It's a painstakingly slow and very heavy-handed affair—Refn's lame attempt at aping the red-hued noir style of Gaspar Noe's Irreversible. Considering the talents involved, people expected more. Barry WetcherSURPRISE: 'Now You See Me' I had no interest in seeing this strange flick by Louis Letterier (The Incredible Hulk) about a group of con artist-magicians (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco), who rob banks, but it turned out to be a fun B-movie packed with impressive set pieces and visual effects, cheeky turns left and right (including Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine in supporting roles), and fun romantic chemistry between a cop (Mark Ruffalo) and Interpol agent (Melanie Laurent) tasked with bringing down "The Four Horsemen" magicians. Definitely worth a rental. Gemma La ManaDISAPPOINTMENT: 'The Heat' I know this buddy cop comedy raked in over $229 million worldwide but, given that it was filmmaker Paul Feig's highly anticipated follow-up to Bridesmaids, and the conceit—Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock as a rough Boston cop and prim and proper FBI agent, respectively, who band together to take down the mob—I expected a lot more from this one. With the exception of a sloppy drunken bonding sequence at a bar, there aren't nearly enough fun hijinks with these two likeable stars, the jokes are pretty by-the-book, the supporting characters are total non-starters, and Taran Killam's villain isn't very enticing. Wilson WebbSURPRISE: 'Prisoners' On paper, Denis Villaneuve's noir-thriller looks more than a little absurd. A Pennsylvania carpenter named Keller Dover (?), played by Hugh Jackman, has his daughter snatched up in broad daylight, so imprisons the man he suspects of the crime (Paul Dano) and tortures him until he confesses. Meanwhile, Detective Loki (?), played by Jake Gyllenhaal, is on the case as well. But, thanks to an engaging, labyrinthine plot, fantastic turns by Jackman and Gyllenhaal, a fine supporting cast (Viola Davis, Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, Melissa Leo), and some ace lensing by celebrated cinematographer Roger Deakins, Prisoners emerged as one of the best neo-noirs since Se7en, and has a fantastic ending. Frank ConnorDISAPPOINTMENT: 'The Fifth Estate' Bill Condon's biopic of Julian Assange features a fine turn by Benedict Cumberbatch as the WikiLeaks founder and a solid supporting turn by Daniel Bruhl as his former right hand man, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, but fails in just about every other respect. It doesn't provide a full-bodied portrait of Assange, only vaguely alluding to his past; doesn't explain how WikiLeaks is funded; doesn't touch on Assange's Sweden incident and subsequent asylum(s) around the world; doesn't mention Domscheit-Berg's destruction of the Bank of America files; and is packed with cloying visual devices, e.g. a virtual office/dreamscape to visualize what's going on in Domscheit-Berg's head. It really only shares the perspective of the narrator, Domscheit-Berg, and thus, comes off like a lamer version of The Social Network. Jaap BuitendijkSURPRISE: 'Rush' I gotta say, after the cinematic abomination that is The Dilemma, I lost almost all faith in Ron Howard as a director. What an awful piece of shit. Also, Formula One doesn't interest me in the slightest. So I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed Rush. The film chronicles the 1976 Formula One season, pitting the meticulous Austrian Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl) against the swaggering, womanizing Brit, James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth), and it's a hell of a fun ride. The acting is top-notch, especially Bruhl, whose performance is like a high-wire act, dancing back and forth between despicable and sympathetic, the lensing by Anthony Dod Mantle (Slumdog Millionaire) is gorgeous, and the script by Peter Morgan (The Queen) is airtight. Howard assembled quite the team for this one, and it really paid off. Kimberley FrenchDISAPPOINTMENT: 'Elysium' Neill Blomkamp's debut feature, the Johannesburg-set sci-fi flick District 9, signaled the arrival of an immensely talented filmmaker with a wholly unique palette. So, anticipation was high for his follow-up, which featured a way bigger budget ($115 million compared to $30 million), bigger stars (Matt Damon and Jodie Foster), and an interesting class warfare conceit. And yet, despite a game turn by Damon and a few nifty action sequences, the film's script—and the film's narrative—is a total mess. The sociological issues it tackles are way too on-the-nose (classism, immigration, etc.), the plot meanders, and the final third devolves into a generic action flick. Too bad. PicturehouseSURPRISE: 'Metallica: Through the Never' I didn't have any interest in seeing this 3D concert/narrative hybrid film. For one, Nimrod Antal, who helmed that lame Predators flick with Adrien Brody, directed it. Also, I don't really give a damn about Metallica anymore—or at least I thought I didn't. However, after seeing this bizarre 3D IMAX thriller, which melds the story of a dedicated Metallica roadie (Dane DeHaan) who embarks on a surreal journey after being tasked with getting fuel to a stalled truck belonging to the band's entourage, and concert footage of the band performing, I left very impressed. The concert footage is kickass and coalesces well with the stunning visuals in the DeHaan storyline, resulting in a hypnotic ode to rock 'n' roll. Giles KeyteDISAPPOINTMENT: 'Fast & Furious 6' Fast Five, the Brazil-set fifth installment in the Fast and the Furious franchise, was the most entertaining action film hit theaters in years. It featured beautiful sequences (a chase through the favelas, a heist involving a safe strapped to a car that may have destroyed half of Rio, etc.), amusing tongue-in-cheek performances—by a pumped-up Diesel and sweat-drenched Dwayne Johnson, especially—and a fun soundtrack. It was like The Italian Job on steroids. The entire team returned for the London-set sixth film, and unfortunately, the magic just wasn't there this time. The action sequences paled in comparison to the first film, there was less fun horseplay among the heist crew, Diesel and Johnson didn't butt heads, and the bad guy, played by Luke Evans, was lame. Oh well.
