1.UP 飞屋环游记
A feisty septuagenarian teams with a fearless wilderness ranger to do battle with a vicious band of beasts and villains in this computer-animated adventure scripted by Pixar veteran Bob Peterson and co-directed by Peterson and Monsters, Inc. director Peter Docter. Carl Fredricksen is a 78-year-old balloon salesman. His entire life, Carl has longed to wander the wilds of South Africa. Then, one day, the irascible senior citizen shocked his neighbors by tying thousands of balloons to his home and finally taking flight. But Carl isn"t alone on his once-in-a-lifetime journey, because stowed away on his front porch is an excitable eight-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell. Later, as the house touches down on the world"s second largest continent, Carl and his unlikely traveling companion step outside to discover that not only is their new front lawn considerably larger, but that the predators therein are much more ferocious than anything they ever faced back home。
2.大侦探福尔摩斯
Since his first appearance in "Beeton"s Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle"s Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved fictional characters ever created. Now, in two paperback volumes, Bantam presents all fifty-six short stories and four novels featuring Conan Doyle"s classic hero--a truly complete collection of Sherlock Holmes"s adventures in crime!
Volume II begins with The Hound of the Baskervilles, a haunting novel of murder on eerie Grimpen Moor, which has rightly earned its reputation as the finest murder mystery ever written. The Valley of Fear matches Holmes against his archenemy, the master of imaginative crime, Professor Moriarty. In addition, the loyal Dr. Watson has faithfully recorded Holmes"s feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the thrilling The Adventure of the Red Circle, Holmes"s tragic and fortunately premature farewell in The Final Problem, and the twelve baffling adventures from The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes.
Conan Doyle"s incomparable tales bring to life a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street, where for more than forty years Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.
2.Alice in wonferland 爱丽丝梦游仙境
The ongoing mania for 3D movies continues in the UK this week with the release of an updated version of the classic British children"s novel Alice in Wonderland.
The film is the work of maverick Hollywood director Tim Burton who has carved a niche for himself by "re-imagining" classic films and stories in his trademark Gothic style.
As well as starring Hollywood heartthrob Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, the film features a wealth of British talent including Burton"s wife Helena Bonham-Carter, while many other British actors supply the voices for the film"s CGI characters.
The film sees Alice return to Wonderland ten years later
The film sees 19-year-old Alice return to Wonderland ten years after her original adventures, where she must realise her destiny and end the Red Queen"s reign of terror.
Although the film is a 21st Century, technology-laden, visual feast, it is based on the works of the 19th Century mathematician Lewis Carroll.
Lewis Carroll was actually the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a lecturer in mathematics at Christ Church College, Oxford.
Carroll is said to have written the book for the entertainment of the children of an Oxford colleague, having made up stories for them during rowing trips around the Oxford area.
The books are characterised by a sense of absurd fantasy, however, they also reflect Carroll"s fascinations as a mathematician and logician, which may explain why they have had such enduring appeal for children and adults alike.
It would appear then that 145 years after their original publication Alice"s adventures continue to enthral and intrigue, and will doubtless do so for many years to come.
3.Clash of the Titans 诸神之战
The trend of 3D blockbuster movies continues with this week"s release of Clash of the Titans, a film which delves into the rich world of Greek mythology.
It tells the story of the hero Perseus as he battles a host of fearsome creatures including giant scorpions, a huge sea monster called the Kraken and the terrifying Medusa with writhing snakes instead of hair.
Perseus is played by Australian actor Sam Worthington, who made his name as the lead in Avatar, and who seems to be enjoying his sudden rise to international fame. Talking about filming Clash of the Titans, he said:
"Some movies you do because they"re a hell of a lot of fun. That"s what this one was. Me in a skirt with a rubber sword, killing monsters. It ain"t that hard. That"s a good day at the office."
It"s not all swords and fighting
The film also features Irish actor Liam Neeson as Zeus, King of the Gods and father of Perseus, and British actor Ralph Fiennes as Hades, the evil Lord of the Underworld.
This year"s film is a remake of a 1981 version of the same name, though the look and feel of the two could not be more different.
The original film made use of stop-motion technology to bring model monsters to life. This painstaking technique animates models by moving them in tiny increments one frame at a time and photographing each frame individually.
These days of course CGI and 3D technology allow directors to realise even their wildest visual fantasies.
Nonetheless, the film"s French director Louis Leterrier and the cast and crew still wanted to pay homage to the original movie.
Actress Alexa Davalos, who plays Perseus" love interest in the film, said:
"There"s a tip of the hat to the original throughout. It was a labour of love to the original. We all really want to honour it. I hope we did that."
4.Avater 阿凡达
The blockbuster film Avatar has been a smash hit at the box office in the UK and around the world, becoming the fastest film ever to earn $1bn (7bn yuan) in ticket sales.
But as well as being an entertaining feast for the eyes, the sci-fi epic also introduces movie-goers to a brand new language invented especially for the film.
The movie is set on an alien planet called Pandora which is inhabited by many strange species. The most humanoid of the planet"s inhabitants are the Na"vi, and it is the struggle between the Na"vi and human interlopers that forms the core narrative of the film.
The film has been released in 2D and 3D versions
In order to add authenticity to his vision of an alien race the film"s director James Cameron asked a professor of linguistics from the University of Southern California to invent a language for the Na"vi.
Professor Paul Frommer worked with James Cameron for four years to build upon the original 30 words or so that the director had already come up with for the language.
According to Professor Frommer, the most important aspect of the Na"vi language was that it could be articulated.
"This is an alien language but obviously it has to be spoken by human actors," Professor Frommer told the BBC, "it has to be sounds that human beings are comfortable producing."
The language currently has a lexicon of around 1000 words but Professor Frommer hopes to expand it in possible sequels to the film and in video games.
The professor hopes that one day his creation will become as sophisticated as the Klingon alien language from the Star Trek films.
"There"s a translation of Hamlet into Klingon," says Professor Frommer.
"If anything happened like this with Na"vi I"d be delighted."
