Actor Jack Black will play Gulliver’s role, famous adventurer of the british writer Jonathan Swift, into a new movie for “Travel of Gulliver” book. The new movie will be directed by Rob Letterman (“Shark Tale”) and will use a new approach for the masterpiece of the XVIII century.

When it comes to the history of moviemaking, people tend to assume that it all started with Hollywood in Los Angeles, California - with the place itself being synonymous with the moviemaking industry. But the truth is motion pictures themselves were already made as early as the 1890s, when Hollywood was nothing more than a little farm town a short distance away from Los Angeles, which itself is still in its infancy, with California only joining the union in 1850.

Motion pictures themselves were first made by employees of Thomas Edison’s laboratories in New Jersey, which led to the area dominating the movie industry during the first 15 years of its inception. Hollywood wasn’t a major player in the industry until 1918 when the place became home to as many as 20 different movie studios such as Columbia, Warner Brothers, Paramount Pictures, MGM and its contemporaries.

As for the first movie itself, the first motion picture is a celluloid recording of a sneeze. It was recorded using a new camera called the Kinetograph in 1893, which was invented by an assistant for Edison’s laboratories named William Kennedy Laurie Dickinson. The Kinetograph was then attached to a device called a Kinetoscope, which allows a single viewer to watch the film loop using a peephole. This was a very crude means of watching movies, and it wasn’t until April 1894, when the first Kinetoscope parlor was opened in New York, that movies became commercially viable. It took 10 more years before new technology allowed movies to be projected onto screens that can be viewed by multiple people, and thus, the moviemaking industry is up and running.

Made of Honor, a harmless and fresh movie seems to be the best choice when we think of this month apparition.

After Katherine Heigl, Patrick Dempsey is the second protagonist of Grey’s Anatomy, his career at Hollywood starts to flourish on with help of this TV series. Even if he is the star in Made of Honor, the one that attracts all eyes to her is Michelle Monaghan, eternal “good girl”, which we saw close to Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible III, or close to Ben Stiller in The Heartbreak Kid.

Made of Honor is a romantic comedy without any glitters and with very predictable action, but with a charismatic couple. Made of Honor uses the old receipt of bad timing: he (Tom, Dempsey) is a good looking guy and mad after women, he cannot imagine himself to have a date with same women for more than 2 days. She (Hannah, Monaghan) is best friend of his, she guesses all intentions and fulfills every wish (sounds like an ad to a … wife, isn’t it?). Of course, something has to happen to open Tom’s eyes to see what a wonderful person she is and how much he cares about her, therefore Hannah goes for six weeks in Scotland, from where she gets back with a 80 kilograms luggage heavier: a fiancé, Colin (Kevin McKidd), with which she wants to marry no matter what. So she asks Tom to be her… bridesmaid.

Movie charm is less into dialogue, and more in bond, chemistry between Dempsey and Monaghan. After Enchanted, where she was “quiet”, Dempsey resorts tricks for bringing money to film. She juggles with dishes, dresses in kilt and in a scene cut out at American CNC, she undresses everything in a sport locker. Talking about Monaghan, she confirms that he has a pretty smile.

It can be spotted very easy that Dempsey is somewhere around 30 years old (actor has over 40 years) and as harder as this is to pretend that you don’t see lack of scenery inspiration, Made of Honor is a viable solution for lovers of romantic comedies, especially because July tends to lack this genre. Even more, Weiland’s movie represents last apparition on screens of Sidney Pollack, in Tom’s father role, which almost surpasses his son in adventures.

A piece of advice: if you are feminist and dream yourself in night surrounded by men, maybe it is a good idea to avoid Made of Honor. Weiland’s movie neglects this chapter, from Hannah which waits Tom for years (and for a long time you didn’t see such a misogynist hero), at other bridesmaids, one obsessed by Tom, other one obsessed to grow thin and get married (not necessary this order). Lovely and cool part are a grandmother and an aunt, but they don’t succeed to balance movie’s action.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon reunite this time on big screens, in the newest story of “Sex and the City: The Movie”. This movie is addressing both genre fans and for men that wish to know how women think.

Together the best friends succeed to transform any sort of event, happy or bad, into an excellent occasion to go for shopping in famous stores of designers and a good occasion to talk about sex and about the men of their life. Big question stays unanswered: will Carrie marry with Mr. Big (Chris Noth)?

With stage direction and screenplay made by Michael Patrick King. “Sexn and the City: The Movie) is a romantic comedy that has shattered some good sex games and some unsuccessful too, spectacular dressing, discussions about men and again, sex.

Three teenagers take extreme measures to defend against some aggressors in “Drillbit Taylor” comedy. Prolific Judd Apatow offers us again a movie with qualities, but with elements that make it more viewable for grown up public, no way for young children.

Steven Brill’s movie underlines evolution of main character from a lazybones to a careful mentor, and the search of his young clients after courage and solidarity. But the dialogue is full of indecent terms, and main story, in which physical private intimacy loses any basic social interaction, is very problematic. Because of these reasons, “Drillbit Taylor” cannot be recommended young people, although they represent target audience in producers plans.

“Drillbit Taylor” contains partial nudity, premarital sexual relations, indecent terms, blasphemy, references related to drugs and pornography. “Drillbit Taylor” is classified by some as being A-III-(for adults) and others classify it as Ap-13- (recommended with parents approval, forbidden for ones under 13)
