Toy Story 3

Synopsis and Movies Toy Story 3 : Andy Davis (John Morris) is now 17 years old, and is heading off to college in a few days. However, the fact that Andy has grown from a young boy to a teenager has not been lost on a select few: his toys. Several of them hold out hope that Andy will play with them at least once before he leaves, but those hopes are soon dashed. As the toys take stock of how many are left, and those that they have lost over the years, their attention is drawn to the last of the Army Men: Sarge(R Lee Ermey), and two paratroopers. Fearful of being thrown away, they leap out the window into the world beyond, their parachutes taking them who knows where.

This idea soon fills the heads of the remaining toys: -Woody -Buzz Lightyear -Jessie -Bullseye -Mr Potato Head -Mrs Potato Head -3 alien squeak toys from Pizza Planet -Slinky Dog -Rex -Hamm the Piggy Bank
Several are of the persuasion that Sarge is right, and they’ll be tossed out soon, but Woody (Tom Hanks) believes that Andy wouldn’t do this, and figures he’ll store them in the attic…maybe one day to be played with again when Andy has kids of his own.

The toys’ ‘staff meeting’ is cut short when Andy returns to his room with his Mom (Laurie Metcalf) in tow. With only a few days left until he leaves, Andy has not cleaned up his room. His Mom is also having Molly (Beatrice Miller) clean her room as well, and tells the two to throw out what they don’t want, store extra items in the attic, or donate items to Sunnyside Daycare. From Andy’s room, the toys watch as Molly throws her Barbie doll (Jodi Benson) in the donations box, along with some other toys.

Andy finally takes out a black trash bag, and begins to put his old toys into it. When he finally gets to Woody and Buzz (Tim Allen), he hesitates, before putting Woody in a box marked ‘College,’ and tossing Buzz in the black trash bag. Inside, the toys think they are going to be thrown away, and Woody watches as Andy leaves the room. His panic turns to relief as he sees Andy open the attic door. However, before Andy can go up, he helps Molly move the donations box downstairs. The lapse causes the attic door to close, and Andy’s Mom soon after finds the trash bag with the toys. Thinking Andy just left ‘trash’ laying around, she takes it with another bag to the curb.

Woody looks down the street in horror as the garbage truck slowly makes it’s way to the curb. Woody jumps out the window, and slides down a pipe to the front lawn…only to see the trash bags thrown into the garbage truck and crushed! Shortly thereafter, Woody notices a recycling bin walking towards the garage. Following it, he is relieved to see that his friends escaped. However, they are now all convinced that Andy meant to throw them away.

Woody tries to explain what really happened, but most of them just feel that he is in denial. Jessie (Joan Cusack) soon notices the box of donations to Sunnyside Daycare, and proposes that they all go there. Everyone eagerly jumps in, except for Woody, who demands that they all return to Andy’s room right away. Before he can say anymore, the trunk to the family mini-van closes, and Andy’s Mom takes the box to Sunnyside. Inside, the other toys find Barbie, distraught and heart-broken that Molly threw her away.

After arriving at Sunnyside, Andy’s Mom brings the toys in to the front desk. A family friend is working the desk, with her little daughter Bonnie (Emily Hahn) close by. The toys are then taken to ‘The Butterfly Room.’ Looking through the handle-hole in the box, the toys are excited to see a group of children happily playing with the toys in the room.

After the recess bell sounds and the kids leave the room, the toys eagerly escape from the box, only to meet a very friendly group of toys, excited to see them. The group is soon joined by a strawberry-scented bear named Lotso (Ned Beatty), who soon calls his associate Ken (Michael Keaton) to escort the group around, showing them what Sunnyside has to offer. However, during the course of their tour, Ken soon becomes smitten with Barbie…who soon finds herself drawn to him as well.

Lotso explains that the toys are taken care of, and that due to a neverending supply of kids coming and going, the toys will never be without someone to play with them. Andy’s toys eagerly accompany Lotso over to “The Caterpillar Room,” where he then leaves them to experience their first playtime at Sunnyside. However, Ken and Barbie appear to have gotten along quite well, and Barbie (at the insistence from the group upon seeing her so happy) eagerly goes back with Ken and Lotso to “The Butterfly Room.”

Woody explains that while Sunnyside does seem great, he strongly believes they should go back to Andy. Woody asks Buzz to come back, but Buzz refuses, saying they should stick together. Realizing that the others won’t accompany him, Woody sneaks out of Sunnyside, but not before accidentally losing his hat. In the process, the little girl named Bonnie finds him, and takes him home with her.

Back in “The Caterpillar Room,” recess ends, and the toys get their first playtime…only to find the room filled with noisy screaming toddlers, each of them rambunctious and not as ‘delicate’ as Andy was. Once the daycare closes, the toys feel there has been some mistake, and that they should be in “The Butterfly Room” instead. Buzz manages to get out of the room, intending to talk to Lotso. However, once outside, his attention is drawn to Ken and several other toys going inside a vending machine.

Buzz follows them, but is caught by a sleepy-eyed doll named Big Baby. Ken and the others take Buzz to the daycare’s library and tie him up. Suddenly, Lotso comes across the other toys, and demands that they let Buzz go. Buzz thanks Lotso for helping him out, and makes his request for himself and the other toys to be transferred. Lotso admires Buzz’s initiative, but is only willing to consider to have him join “The Butterfly Room” inhabitants. When Buzz refuses, Lotso orders Buzz held down, and manages to procure a Buzz Lightyear instruction manual from the library. Using it, the group of toys sets Buzz to “demo” mode, putting him back in his ‘deluded’ space-ranger mode.

Lotso, his compatriots, and Buzz return to “The Caterpillar Room,” where Buzz subdues his friends, and places them in prison-like storage cages. Lotso then explains how the Daycare is run: all newcomers start in “The Caterpillar Room.” If they survive, they move up to “The Butterfly Room.”

To set an example about what happens to troublemakers, Lotso has Big Baby take Mr Potato Head out to the playground, and stuff him in “The Box” (aka a sandbox). Also as ‘a warning,’ Lotso produces Woody’s hat, though doesn’t explain what happened to the toys’ friend. Barbie finds out about this shortly, and angrily rebukes Ken. Refusing to be a part of Lotso’s plan, she is ‘imprisoned’ as well.

During the toys’ day at Sunnyside, Woody has been in Bonnie’s house, being used as part of her imaginative fun and games. During her playtime, Woody grows excited to be part of a real playtime again, but longs to get back to Andy.

Once the household is asleep, Bonnie’s toys help Woody access the family computer. Woody is relieved when it seems that Andy’s house is very close. He thanks the toys, and tells them that if Bonnie ever outgrows them, they should go to Sunnyside. However, the name causes the toys to look on in fear. The toys explain that Lotso is responsible, and one of Bonnie’s toys named Chuckles (Bud Luckey), begins to tell a story.

Lotso, Chuckles, and Big Baby were once owned by a little girl named Daisy. Of the three, she loved Lotso the most. However, one day at a rest stop, the three toys were accidentally left behind. The three eventually made it back to Daisy’s house. Lotso and Chuckles managed to look in her window…only to see that Lotso had been replaced. Upon seeing this, something changed inside Lotso, and he declared they had all been replaced (even though there was only proof that he had been replaced). Big Baby wanted to still go back, but Lotso just yelled “She doesn’t love you no more,” and tore off a necklace around Baby’s neck: a plastic heart that said “I belong to Daisy.” Secretly, Chuckles kept it.

The three toys went from place-to-place, until finally finding Sunnyside. Lotso took over, and set up his system by which almost any new toy would not survive under the strenuous conditions of the toddlers. Chuckles explains that he eventually was broken at Sunnyside, and Bonnie took him in and repaired him. Realizing the danger his friends are in, Woody decides to break back into the daycare and rescue them.

The next day, Woody manages to sneak into the daycare, and move through the ceiling tiles. Finding his way into a hidden area of “The Caterpillar Room,” he chances upon a Fisher-Price Chatter Telephone (Teddy Newton). The telephone tells Woody that he should have stayed gone, and that there’s no way that he and his friends can get out. Woody thanks him for the concern, but says they have to try. The Chatter Telephone then explains what Woody and his friends will be up against:

-Lotso’s minions manning search lights on the playground. -Trucks patrolling the halls and the playground. -An 8-ft high cinderblock wall. -A cymbal-clanging monkey that monitors the security cameras in the building.

The telephone tells Woody, that the only other way out is through a garbage chute across the playground.

Once the toddlers have gone to recess, Woody joins his friends, who tell him about Buzz having been ‘reset,’ and how they want to get back to Andy. Woody then sets his plan into action. Later that evening, the group springs into action:

-Mr Potato Head creates a scene to get put in the box again…this time as a way to get outside and report for the group.

-Barbie pleads with Ken that she can’t take being imprisoned, and Ken lets her out. He takes her back to his dreamhouse, where Barbie quickly subdues him, and using one of his outfits as a disguise, manages to infiltrate the daycare library to find the instruction manual for Buzz.

-Woody and Slinky Dog manage to infiltrate the main security room, and take down the cymbal-clanging monkey.

-Rex and Hamm start a fight to distract Buzz, allowing Jessie to escape, and trap Buzz under a plastic tub.

The toys then regroup, and set about trying to get Buzz back to normal. However, a mistake in resetting Buzz sets him to speak and act in Spanish. With little time left, the group decides to worry about fixing him later, and quickly set out to get to the garbage chute.

The gang gets to the end of the chute before plummeting into the dumpster…only to find Lotso, Ken, and his associates waiting (along with the chatter telephone, now broken by the bad toys). Lotso offers the toys a choice: either end up in the dumpster, or return to the daycare. Jessie and Barbie both decry what Lotso has done to the daycare, and even Ken soon turns against Lotso.

The eagerness of the group and Woody to return to Andy incites Lotso to declare that love doesn’t exist. It is then that Woody mentions Daisy, and produces the tag that Chuckles had kept. Big Baby sees the tag, and Lotso declares that she didn’t love them and replaced them. Woody reminds Lotso that it was only him she replaced. This revelation causes Big Baby to reach for the tag, before Lotso destroys, it, yelling at Big Baby for being stupid and believing that Daisy loved him. Big Baby, feeling betrayed, then throws Lotso in the dumpster, slamming the lid and blowing a raspberry at him.

The other toys begin to run across the lid, before one of the Pizza Planet aliens’ feet gets stuck in the lid. Woody goes to help him, only to have Lotso grab his hand. The others rush to help Woody, but just then, a dump truck pulls up, and dumps the contents (including Andy’s Toys) into the collecting bin in the back. Barbie and Ken, who were not on the dumpster’s lid, can only watch as their friends are taken from them.

Inside the dumpster, more trash is emptied onto the group, before a TV set falls on Buzz…which manages to set him back to his proper self. However, before the toys can rejoice, the truck arrives at the Tri-County landfill. As the gang moves about, they are shocked when a bulldozer scoops up the three Pizza Planet aliens, carrying them away! The remaining toys are then shovelled by another machine onto a moving conveyor belt, headed towards a large shredding machine. The toys manage to stave off being shredded, by grabbing onto metal objects that are being magnetized to an overhead track. Woody and Buzz even manage to save Lotso, who thanks them.

Once they make it through, they find themselves on another conveyor belt, heading towards daylight. However, as they draw closer, they soon realize it’s a large pit, that empties into a fiery incinerator! They toys begin to try to outrun their fiery fate, when Lotso notices an emergency stop switch. He motions for the others to help him, and they help hoist him up to stop the machine. However, once reaching the button, Lotso just smirks at Woody, muttering “Where’s your boy now, Sheriff?’ and running off.

The toys are soon unable to keep running, and tumble into the pit. They attempt to try and climb out, but there appears to be no escape. With no hope left, the toys all join hands, willing to stay together to the very end.

Suddenly, a blue light appears overhead, and a giant claw falls down, scooping up the group. As they wonder how their rescue was possible, the enormous claw swings by the glass case of the machine, where the three Pizza Planet aliens are!

Once the group gets out, they thank their saviors, and wonder what became of Lotso.

Unknown to them, Lotso is found by another garbageman at the dump. Remembering having a Lots-a-Huggin Bear as a kid, he then ties Lotso to the grille of his dumptruck as he heads off for duty.

Andy’s Toys manage to find the dump truck that services Andy’s neighborhood, and manage to get back in time before Andy leaves for college. After cleaning themselves up, they sneak back into the house, finding Andy’s room cleaned out, except for some minimal items, and two boxes. One marked ‘College,’ the other ‘Attic.’

Woody’s friends pile into the ‘Attic’ box, and say their goodbyes, safe in the fact that they’ll be safe. Hearing Andy and his Mom approaching, Woody hops in the ‘College’ box. As they enter Andy’s room, his Mother is hit with the sad reality that her son is going away. Andy tells her that even though he’ll be gone, he’ll still care about her.

Hearing this, Woody realizes that Andy can still care for him and the other toys: an example of ‘true love,’ in that you never forget those you really love. As Andy is distracted by his sister Molly and his dog Buster, Woody quickly grabs a Post-It note and a marker, writing down Bonnie’s street address, before hopping in the ‘Attic’ box.

Andy returns to the room, and sees the note on the ‘Attic’ box, thinking that his Mom wrote it. Andy takes the box to the address, but is unsure just where he is. It is only when he sees Bonnie playing in her family’s front yard with the same quirky imagination that he had, does he relax.

Andy then gets out of the car with his box. As Bonnie sees him approach, she stops her game and calls for her Mom. Bonnie’s Mom recognizes Andy, who then explains that he has some toys for Bonnie. Andy then introduces each of his toys, telling Bonnie a little bit about each of them:

- Jessie loves little critters. – Bullseye is her favorite ‘critter.’ – Mr and Mrs Potato Head are madly in love – The three green aliens come from a strange place called Pizza Planet. – Hamm will save your money, but is also ‘The Evil Dr Porkchop.’ – Rex is a fearsome predator. – Slinky is as loyal as they come for a dog. – Buzz Lightyear is a cool space ranger who flies, shoots lasers, and protects the galaxy from the Evil Emperor Zurg.

With each toy revealed, Bonnie gets more and more brave, until after Buzz, she peeks into the box and sees Woody. Andy has no knowledge of how Woody got in there, but is surprised when Bonnie says ‘My Cowboy Doll,’ and one of Woody’s lines: “There’s a snake in my boot!”

Andy sees Bonnie looking at Woody, and explains to her how important Woody is to him: how long he’s had him, and how brave Woody can be. However, he explains to Bonnie that she can have Woody, if she promises to take good care of him, and the other toys. When she quietly nods an affirmative, Andy suddenly begins to pretend-play with her, and the two are having an imaginative time interacting with their toys. Secretly, Andy’s toys are overjoyed at their last playtime with him.

Finally, Andy gets into his car, as Bonnie gathers her old and new toys on the porch. As she holds Woody and Buzz in her little arms, she makes Woody ‘wave’ goodbye. This causes Andy to give a sad but calming smile. “Thanks, guys,” he whispers, as he drives off.

After Andy leaves, Bonnie’s Mom takes her inside for lunch, leaving the toys on the porch, watching Andy’s car fade into the distance down the street. “So long, partner,” says Woody.

Woody smiles at the other toys, reaffirming that Andy did care for them, and care for them enough to leave them with another child who will take care of them and give them many playtimes to come. Woody then begins to introduce his friends to Bonnie’s other toys.

Some time afterward, the toys find a note in Bonnie’s backpack, from Ken. In the time since Lotso has been gone, Ken and Barbie have worked to abolish the unfair system that ran Sunnyside, and now the toys have an equal opportunity to move between the caterpillar and butterfly rooms. The toys at Sunnyside now enjoy there time there, and soon after, Sarge and his two paratroopers arrive, with both Ken and Barbie welcoming them.

Edge of Darkness

Synopsis and Movies Edge of Darkness : By moonlight, three bodies float to the surface of the western Massachusetts stretch of the Connecticut river. At South Station, Boston, Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson) picks up his daughter, Emma (Bojana Novakovic), who has returned home to visit. She throws up, while getting into Thomas’ car. At home, as he prepares a meal, Emma starts a nosebleed and vomits violently and as they hurriedly leave to find a hospital, a masked gunman yells, Craven, and fires two shotgun blasts at Emma simultaneously. Blasted through the door, she dies in Thomas’ arms.At first, everyone believes that Thomas, a police detective, was the gunman’s target, but when Thomas finds Emma had a pistol in her night stand, he starts to suspect that Emma was an intended target. He checks the ownership of the pistol and finds that it belongs to her boyfriend David (Shawn Roberts). David is frightened of the company Northmoor where Emma worked and Thomas discovers that Emma became aware that Northmoor was manufacturing nuclear weapons, intended to be traced to foreign nations if they are used as dirty bombs. Following the failed break-in of the activists, Emma was poisoned with thallium through a carton of organic milk. Burning her effects in his lawn, Thomas encounters Jedburgh (Ray Winstone), a “consultant” tasked to prevent Craven from discovering Emma’s information, or kill him. Liking each other, instead, Jedburgh leaves Thomas to investigate. Throughout the film, Thomas repeatedly imagines he hears and sees his daughter, even having short conversations and interactions with her.

Thomas also has several encounters with Northmoor mercenaries, and he eventually discovers through Emma’s activist contact that Jack Bennett (Danny Huston), head of Northmoor, ordered the murder of his daughter, as well as the activists Emma was working with to steal evidence of the illegal nuclear weapons (the bodies in the opening). Northmoor personnel kill a hitman marked as a fall guy after he is set up for killing Emma’s boyfriend, and attempt to murder another activist who gave Emma’s information to Thomas. After confronting a lawyer and Senator that Emma contacted, revealing that they know almost everything that happened, Bennett has Northmoor operatives allow Thomas to be poisoned with thallium, as his daughter had been.

Thomas, now very sick, arrives at Bennett’s house and kills the mercenaries, one of whom Thomas realizes is the man who shot his daughter. Bennett shoots Thomas, but Thomas tackles Bennett and pulls out the radioactive milk. He forces it down Bennett’s throat and collapses. Bennett runs to his cabinet to get pills to counteract the radioactivity but Tom drags himself over and shoots Bennett through the throat, killing him.

Thomas is hospitalized for the gunshot wounds and radioactive poisoning. Jedburgh, who is revealed to be suffering from a terminal illness, meets with Moore, the Senator (for whom he had been working) and the political advisor who assigned Jedburgh to eliminate Craven. He listens to their suggestions as to how to play the Northmoor incident in a positive light. He tells them that he is done and then suggests an assassination attempt on the Senator should be the feature story, to drive Bennetts death out of the tabloids. They are happy to go along with the story until Jedburgh tells the senator that he is on the wrong side of the equation. Jedburgh then pulls out his gun and shoots all three men dead before a young Massachusetts State Trooper comes in, gun drawn. Jedburgh gets the drop on the trooper and asks if the young man has a family and kids. The young man says yes and Jedburgh lowers his gun, and is instantly shot and killed by the trooper.

As Thomas lies dying in the hospital, we see Emma walk into his room, then lean down at his bedside and whisper in his ear. Across town, a young reporter opens a letter from Thomas with DVDs revealing the conspiracy, with Thomas’s good luck wishes, ensuring the company’s end. As he dies, Emma comforts him. Then the father and daughter leave the hospital together, walking down the corridor into a bright, white light.

The family has three pets which consists of a pig, turtle and a cat.Gillian strolls outside with her children to take the two older kids to school and Bob Ho, who supposedly works as a pen importer, spots her and helps her push down the trash can to the sidewalk. The two are shown to be romantic and the three kids are shown to be against it, due to them thinking he is nerdy and uninteresting. Later at night, Bob and Gillian are on a date celebrating their three month anniversary and although Bob tries to tell her that he’s a CIA agent, his cellphone receives a message and he has to leave right away.

Bob and Colton James (Billy Ray Cyrus) sneak into an American oil refinery and Bob catches the villains, who were trying to put a liquid into the oil supply. After returning to his work station, he informs he is retiring from being a CIA agent to finally settle down and live with his soon to be family. Bob begins removing his spy gear, but Glaze (George Lopez) tells him to keep his watch. Later, through the phone, Colton informs Bob that he sent files found in the Russian base to his computer.

The following day, Gillian and the children visit Bob and informs him that her father was injured and needs his hip replaced so she’ll be out of town and needs Bob to take care of the children for a few days. Though the children try anything to get out of the situation, Bob believes it’ll be a great time to get the kids to like him. While Bob packs his items to go to Gillian’s home, the children snoop around the house. Ian runs to Bob’s Macintosh and finds a file he believes to be a pirated concert; using his iPod, he downloads it but it turns out to be the files that Colton had sent earlier, a formula to turn oil into dust.

Meanwhile, Poldark (Magnus Scheving), the villain caught by Bob, escapes jail and returns to his minions. Poldark discovers his files have been taken and he tracks down the location to Bob’s residence. Poldark and his minions set out to recover the files downloaded into Ian’s iPod and to kill them all. While at a restaurant, Bob and the children are attacked by Larry (Lucas Till), a Russian spy, who attacks them with a knife, after having lied about going to university and being a poet. Bob fights him off and explains to the children about his true self and that he’s a former CIA agent.

Leaving the restaurant, Glaze appears and demands for the files with a gun. Bob knocks him out and runs away with the children in the car. In it, Bob discovers that the villains must have traced him with the watch Glaze told him to keep earlier and he leaves it in a rock in a desert. They escape into a hotel where Farren calls Gillian and tries explaining about who Bob really is and all the danger they’ve been in. Bob tells her to come pick up the kids right away. The next morning, all four go back home and Gillian yells at Bob and exclaims that their relationship is over.

As he has unfinished business to take care of, Bob walks off being watched by Ian. Ian dresses up in a spy gear and runs out of the house on his bicycle preparing to assist Bob. Farren watches him go. Bob retrieves the watch and allows the villains to trace him to where he is, in an empty factory-like area. Ian shows up and due to him, the villains catch Bob and tie him up in a chair with Ian. The villains then remove the cameras placed around the place and Farren shows up tied up by Larry.

After being interrogated, Bob discovers that it was Ian who had downloaded the files into his iPod at home. Most of the Russians hop on their vehicles to get the iPod, while Bob, with his spy ring with a razor blade, unties the three.

The CIA and Colton arrive right after everyone is defeated already and Ian gives his iPod with the files to Colton. After they all leave, Bob prepares to go home but after the children grow very upset, Gillian decides to stay with Bob.

The police who talk to Harvey find him odd but see no reason to suspect him. Jack, Susie’s father, becomes suspicious and later begins to harass the police about Harvey. Susie’s sister Lindsey comes to share these suspicions. Jack, consumed with guilt over not having been able to protect his daughter, remains on extended leave from work and increasingly isolates himself at home. Buckley, the youngest child in the family of three, tries to make sense of all this as he starts school.

One day late in the summer a detective named Len Fenerman comes to tell the Salmons that the police have exhausted all leads and are dropping the investigation. That night in his study, Jack looks out the window and sees a flashlight in the cornfield. Believing it to be Harvey returning to destroy evidence, he runs out to confront him with a baseball bat. It turns out to be Susie’s best friend, Clarissa, and her boyfriend Brian looking for a place to make out. Brian and Jack struggle and Jack is struck with the bat. As a result he has to have knee replacement surgery. In the wake of this, his wife Abigail begins having an affair with Fenerman, who is a widower.

Still suspicious, Lindsey sneaks into Harvey’s house and finds a drawing of the pit, but is forced to leave when Harvey returns prematurely. Sensing danger, Harvey leaves Norristown as soon as possible and becomes a drifter. A year later the police bulldoze the cornfield and turn up a soda bottle from the night of the murder with Harvey’s and Susie’s fingerprints, finally making him an official suspect. However, he remains at large. That fall, a hunter in Connecticut discovers the body of another one of Harvey’s victims, and one of Susie’s charms nearby. In 1981, a detective in Connecticut links the charm to Susie’s murder and calls Fenerman. As they uncover further evidence, the police realize that Harvey is a serial killer. At about the same time, Susie sees into Harvey’s traumatic childhood, and develops a grudging pity for her killer.

The following summer Abigail leaves her husband, going to her father’s old cabin in New Hampshire and then moving to California, taking a job at a winery. As a result, her mother, Grandma Lynn, moves into the Salmons’ home to help her son-in-law care for Buckley and Lindsey.

Lindsey and her boyfriend Samuel Heckler become engaged, find an old house in the woods owned by a classmate’s father, and decide to fix it up and live there. Sometime after the celebration, while arguing with his son, Jack suffers from a heart attack. The emergency prompts Abigail to return from California, but the reunion is tempered by Buckley’s lingering bitterness at her for having abandoned him and his father.

Meanwhile, Harvey returns to Norristown, which has become more developed. He explores his old neighborhood and notices the school is being expanded into the cornfield where he murdered Susie. He drives by the sinkhole where Susie’s body rests, and where Ruth Connors and Ray Singh are standing. Ruth, an old classmate of Susie’s who had felt Susie’s spirit go past her after her murder, senses the women Harvey has killed and is overcome. Susie, watching from heaven, is also overwhelmed with emotion and the two girls exchange positions. Susie, her spirit now in Ruth’s body, kisses Ray, who had a crush on Susie in school, and they go to the back room in Hal Heckler’s (the older brother of Lindsey’s boyfriend Samuel) bike shop to make love. Afterwards, Susie returns to heaven.

She moves on into the larger heaven, still watching earthbound events from time to time. She sees her sister’s newborn baby girl, who is named Abigail Suzanne. One day she spies Harvey getting off a Greyhound bus at a diner in New Hampshire in early spring. Behind the diner he sees a young woman and attempts to speak to her, but she rebuffs him. Susie notices some large icicles hanging from the roof, and after the woman leaves, one falls and hits Harvey on the head, knocking him into a nearby ravine and ultimately killing him.

The novel ends with Susie showing us Lindsey’s newborn daughter, then tracking away to a newer house where a man has finally found Susie’s old charm bracelet. “This little girl’s grown up by now,” his wife says. “Almost. Not quite,” Susie’s narrative voice rejoins. “I wish you all a long and happy life.

The Book of Eli

Synopsis and Movies The Book of Eli : The film opens in ash-filled woods. A corpse lies rotting on the ground and a malnourished hairless cat climbs over it and begins nibbling at its feet. Nearby a figure in an NBC combat suit lies in wait. An arrow shoots into the cat, killing it instantly. Eli (Denzel Washington) walks over to the cat, plucks out the arrow and bags it for dinner.Eli walks through the abandoned road in a post-apocalyptic 2043. He is a wanderer and traveling out West. He finds an abandoned House and searches it for anything that can be useful. He tries to fill his canteen with water, but the taps don’t work. He checks a closet and finds a dead body. He takes the corpse’s boots and clears his weapons while listening to an ancient 1st Generation iPod. He roasts the cat and eats it, sharing a small portion with a rat that comes closeby.

The next morning, Eli wakes up and finds that his iPod is nearly out of power. The car battery rig he uses to charge it is almost out of juice. Eli continues his journey West and encounters a woman with a broken shopping cart. She asks him for help, but Eli calls out to the thugs hiding nearby since he can smell them. The leader pushes Eli around, wanting to rob him, after one warning Eli suddenly cuts off the leader’s hand with a machete. He then fights the other 5 marauders at the same time and kills them all. He kills the leader, robs the corpses of their valuables and walks away, continuing his journey west.

As he continues his journey, his iPod runs out of juice. He continues on his journey and ends up at the end of a destroyed high way ramp. Below, a couple is attacked by a group of bikers. The bikers kill the man, assault the woman and steal all of their books. They drive off, leaving Eli shaken but resolute in his determination not to get involved. He ponders which direction to go in and then ends up walking into a town. He finds the Engineer (Tom Waits) and trades him some KFC wet naps and a zippo lighter for a recharge on his battery. While he waits, he asks if there is a place where he can fill his canteen. He crosses the street to the bar across the street.

The bikers who killed the couple arrive at the bar and deliver the books and items they stole from the couple to Carnegie (Gary Oldman), the Mayor of the makeshift town. Carnegie is looking for a certain book, so he sends his illiterate henchmen to collect all the books they can. He sees the books they bring, a random collection of paperbacks and picture books, and is less than pleased. He orders that they be burned. He takes a hotel bottle of shampoo and tells Redridge (Ray Stevenson), his right hand man, that the bikers are to be rewarded for such a discovery. He goes to his lady, Claudia (Jennifer Beals), and shares the shampoo with her.

Downstairs, Eli trades his gloves and a arab scarf for a full canteen of water. The bar tender gives the canteen to Solara (Mila Kunis) and sends her out back to get some water. She goes out back to get the water, but Redridge steps in front of her. She makes him move aside and fills Eli’s canteen. In the bar, a cat walks in front of Eli iand snarls, he nudges it away. The lead Biker approaches Eli, ready to fight him for touching his cat. Eli slams his face into the bar and gets up to leave. However, the entire bar attacks him. He fights and kills all but one but one biker, when Solara returns with the canteen and begs Eli to stop. Redridge and Carnegie’s men arrive and hold Eli at gunpoint and bring him to Carnegie.

Carnegie is impressed to meet Eli. He recognizes Eli’s immense skill and the fact that he is also an educated man who knows scripture. He tells Eli that men like him, who are older but know things, are the future. He asks Eli to stay so that Carnegie can utilize his fighting skills to keep control over the town. Eli tells Carnegie that he has no interest in staying but Carnegie forces him to stay the night.

Redridge sends Claudia to deliver Eli food. He recognizes that Claudia is blind and asks her if she was blind her whole life or blinded by The Flash, an event which occurred during the Last Great War. She confirms that she was blind her whole life. He thanks her for bringing him water. Carnegie decides that the best way to keep Eli in town is to have Solara, Claudia’s daughter, sleep with Eli. Claudia begs him not to use Solara, but he sends her anyway. Eli doesn’t want to have sex, but Solara begs him to let her stay in the room since she is afraid for her mothers life. Eli and Solara eat together and she sees that Eli has a Bible, but doesn’t recognize what it is. Eli teaches her to pray and the two go to bed.

The next morning at breakfast, Solara tries to recite the prayer with her mother but forgets the Amen, which Carnegie supplies. He beats Claudia in front of Solara in order to find out if Eli has the book he seeks. When Solara signs him the cross on the cover, Carnegie orders Redridge to bring the book to him. When they get to the room, they see that Eli snuck out. Redridge kills the guard on duty and gathers the men to find him. Across the street, Eli gathers his battery and prepares to leave.

Carnegie goes over to Eli and begs him to stay and give him the Bible. He tells Eli that he isn’t afraid to kill Eli and take the Bible, since he thinks that it is the best way to keep the town under his control with the words which can keep people righteous. Eli tells Carnegie that he dreams of finding a town where the people need the book, but he tells Carnegie that it is not here. Carnegie orders Redridge to shoot Eli as he walks away but Redridge misses twice. A shootout ensues and Eli kills most of Carnegie’s men and wounds Carnegie’s knee. Redridge sees Eli as fearless and begrudgingly lets him leave. Behind the scenes, Claudia tells Solara to follow Eli, since she will be safer away from Carnegie.

Carnegie gets his leg treated by a doctor. The bullet and shrapnel are removed and he is bandaged up. He tells Redridge to prepare the vehicles to pursue Eli and recover the book. Redridge tells Carnegie that most of their men are dead and decides to use the book as leverage to get Solara as his concubine. Carnegie humorously, albeit reluctantly, agrees.

Eli travels down the road until Solara catches up to him. She wants to join him but she is rejected from the start. She offers to take him to the water supply. Eli fills his canteen at the underground srping, then tricks Solara and locks her in the cave. She screams and calls him a liar but Eli insists that he isn’t, wishing her well and leaves on his way.

Somehow Solara breaks out of the cave and follows in the direction Eli was going. She doesn’t find him, but instead finds the woman who worked with the thugs from earlier with her broken cart. She tries to help the woman, but the woman insists that she leave to keep from getting raped and killed. Two thugs attack Solara and just as they are about to rape her, Eli shoots one through the testicles with an arrow and then shoots the other through the throat. Solara hugs Eli and the two go off on their way.

Carnegie and Redridge’s men find the bodies of the marauders. They reckon that Eli can’t be more than a few miles ahead. Redridge finds a piece of Solara’s custom clothing and tells Carnegie with displeasure. Carnegie asks if Redridge still wants her and walks back to the car. One of their henchmen suggests that they call it a day, since their cars will give them away at night and they could drive right by the pair.

Eli and Solara sleep by an old cooling tower. Eli reads the book and Solara asks Eli to read it to him. He recites a bit of it and then puts the book away. She asks him to teach her how to read it but Eli doesn’t respond. When she thinks he’s asleep she goes to take a look at the book in his bag. She sees (but can’t read) an old K Mart tag which says “Hi, my name is Eli”. Eli grabs the bag away from her and makes her go back across the room, cocking his shotgun to make her know how serious he is.

The next day the pair set off and walk west. Solara asks him about the world before the War. He tells her that people had more than they needed and threw away things that others kill for today. She asks him why he keeps the book and Eli explains that it is the only bible left in the world since it was singled out for extermination during the War. He then explains why he keeps heading west, which perplexes Solara but she eventually comes to accept that Eli is acting on his faith. He explains how he found the Bible, insisting that a Voice told him where to go and that he would be protected. Solara thinks that Eli is delusional but says nothing.

The pair arrives at an old house with a sign that says No Trespassing. Eli tries to open the door, but a trap opens up and the two fall into a hole. They find themselves at the mercy of Martha (Frances de la Tour) and George (Michael Gambon), an elderly couple who have lived in their house for years. They ask why they didn’t obey the sign and Eli apologizes, saying he didn’t see it. They give Eli and Solara tea and then show them a cemetery filled with the people who attacked their house. Eli tells Solara that its time to go, insisting that the couple are cannibals who ate their victims and could have drugged the tea. As they leave, Carnegies caravan passes and sees the pair exiting the house. Eli and Solara re-enter the house and George and Martha pull out an impressive gun cache from under the sofa.

A stand off ensues. Carnegie tells Eli to through out the book. Everyone is ready for the gunfight. A covered book is hurled through the window. Redridge looks at it and realizes it’s a bomb, throwing it away and running for cover. Two cars explode, killing several men. Eli and company fire their weapons until Redridge pulls out an RPG missile and blows half the house up, killing Martha. George starts shooting wildly, killing men left and right until Carnegie’s men bring out a hand operated gatling gun and blast him away along with most of the house. Eli and Solara are surrounded and dragged out of the house.

Carnegie threatens to kill Solara, to the dismay of Redridge. Redridge entreats Eli to surrender the book and Eli tells Redridge where he hid it. Redridge recovers the book, with a locked flap, and gives it to Carnegie, who releases Solara. He says God is good. and Eli responds “all the time”. Carnegie responds “Well. Not all the time” and shoots Eli in the stomach. He puts Solara in one van with Redridge and a driver and then takes the book with him in the other.

In the other van, Redridge puts Eli’s machete on the dashboard and chuckles to himself now that Eli is gone. Solara uses the wire from Eli’s bow that she had in her pocket and chokes the driver until the car flips over. The driver is killed and Carnegie’s men turn around to go to the crash. Solara throws a grenade, blowing up the third car. Solara goes to the drivers seat and sees Redridge was impaled by Eli’s machete. He pulls the Machete out and steps out of the vehicle with grace. Collapsing on his knees in penance, he dies. Solara drives away and Carnegie opts not to go after her since he has the book.

Solara returns to the house and finds that Eli is missing. She finds him still walking west. She puts him in the car and he treats the gun shot wound with duct tape. She apologizes for losing Eli’s book but Eli responds that its time he put the lessons he learned to use: to do more for others than you do for yourself. They drive to the remnants of the Golden Gate Bridge and Eli says that they are close. He gets a row boat and starts to row toward Alcatraz Island. He gets weak, so Solara takes over. An armed guard calls out to the pair and Eli responds that he has in his possession a King James Bible. The guard lets him in.

Eli is taken to Lombardi (Malcolm McDowell), the curator of Alcatraz, who has been gathering all sorts of old items, such as books, vases, paintings, and storing them in the cells until they are ready to rebuild and reestablish society. Lombardi tells Eli that they have been missing a copy of the Bible, so Eli tells him to get a piece of paper and pen. He starts to recite the Bible word for word, having memorized it over the last 30 years.

Back in town, Carnegie tries to open the bible but realizes that he didn’t take Eli’s key to the book flap. He calls the Engineer in to unlock the book and once its unlocked they see the Bible is in braille. Eli is blind. A focus on his eyes reveals that they have been dead since the Flash and that he has been traveling, fighting and reading through use of his other senses. Carnegie tries to get Claudia to read it but she cruelly lies and tells him that she’s forgotten how. She tells him that his leg stinks and that he’s feverish: signs of an infection. Meanwhile, Carnegie’s few remaining men are brawling and fighting each other, in his quest for the book, Carnegie has lost control. He collapses in despair.

In Alcatraz, Eli shaves all his hair and changes into a clean white robe. He recites the Bible to completion while Lombardi writes it down word for word. Eli dies from his gunshot wound but completes his task. In voiceover he utters one last prayer for Solara and the world before he dies. He is buried in Alcatraz’s courtyard garden. Lombardi places a newly typeset and bound copy of the Bible on a bookshelf. Solara pays her respects, takes the machete and iPod and leaves Alcatraz to return home.

Its Complicated

Synopsis and Movies Its Complicated : The films starts off with a nice view of a neighborhood and the view of the ocean. We are then bought to a house party. Jake (Alec) proposes a toast to his friend’s anniversary (Ted & Ally). The four talk momentarily about their son’s graduation, and then Alec’s young wife (he divorced with Jane; played by Meryl Streep, 10 years ago) walks towards them. Jane seemed shock the way Agness approaches the group and the lack of clothing she had on. Jane leaves as Agness walk towards Jake, they exchange a few words of meeting up in New York at a hotel. Jane and Ally, to much dismay talked about Jane’s divorcement as they walk towards the door and how Ally didn’t seem to feel comfortable around the sight of Agness. As Jane closes the gate, Jake turns around just in time to take a glimpse of Jane, letting us know that he still has feelings for her, although they’re divorced for 10 years now.We then follow up to Jane’s middle child, Gabby (Zoe Kazan) who is moving out of the house. The oldest daughter, Lauren (Caitlin Fitzgerald) and her fiancee, Harley (John Krasinski) assists Gabby as Jane arrives home. Although reluctant to let Gabby move out of the house, she agrees. Lauren teases her mother, saying she must be lonely and afraid to sleep alone. Jane denies that and says, “One of you is always moving out”. Harley, “They just grow up so freaking fast”. Lauren, “Mom, you should get a dog”. The couple leaves and Jane walks into her kitchen, and reminiscences of the many memories with all her children at home with her, now all grown up.

The following day, at her bakery, Jane’s friend Peter brings along another architect (Steve Martin) to show blueprints to remodel parts of her house. They talk briefly before she remembers she has an appointment with a doctor. As she leaves the office, the elevator stops on the Fertility Center floor and Jake walks in.

That night, Jane and her friends enjoy laughs over dinner. They recommend Jane should find a date, rather be semi-miserable at home. The next day, at New York, Jane’s family all meet up with Luke, the youngest son, one last night before graduation. They book a hotel (mention earlier at the house party). The kids leave to a party, leaving Jane in the hotel. Again, Jane gets in an elevator, this time with a random couple hugging and kissing. She decides to go to the bar and grab a drink. Coincidentally, Jake is there and they talk. He tells her that he is “flying it low” because Pedro has a stomach flu, so he is free for the night. Jane asks when was the last time they were together, he says 1999. Next thing they’re having a good time on the dance floor and they go back to the hotel room. They do their thing and Jane felt horrible; drunk and half realizing she had just slept with her ex-husband. Jake said, “This is amazing, we just had a great time” as Jane is leaning on the toilet, throwing up and regretting it. During the graduation, the whole family is together and the kids were excited to see their father Jake, despite the divorce. At lunch, the family is having dinner and Jake flirts with Jane, and proposes a toast to Jane, however the family thought it was suppose to be to Luke’s academic success. They take it and drink. Gabby properly finishes the toast to Luke.

Adam (Steve Martin) drives his Audi to Jane’s house to talk about the project of modeling her home. In his car, he is listening to a CD, lecturing on divorcements. He sees Jane jogging, calls her and she apologizes for almost forgetting the appointment. She gets in the car and hears the audio and Adam, embarrassingly tries to turn it off. As he finishes talking about the blueprint, Jake arrives in his Porsche. They introduce each other and Adam leaves. Jake goes inside for “coffee”, which actually turns out to be more flirting and another sex affair. Once again, Jake is happy and Jane is dismayed for being a “mistress”(all in a fun, comedic way, of course.) He claims fate brought them together again and that he is a walking cliche, father to a kid in kindergarten, but they’re all grown up. That night, Jane’s three closest friends talk over wine. They all notice Jane is acting differently, more energetic. She tells them she’s been having sex and having an affair with Agness’s husband, Jake. The four ladies all get excited and accepted the fact that Jane is having an affair with Jake. They all hate Agness and one says, “Karma is a b-tch).

Her energetic passion moves along to the bakery. She tells her bakers to make the breakfast menu more lively. SHe then receives a phone call from Adam, whose waiting at her house for another appointment. He set up a chunk of land with different color tapes and a ladder acting as stairs to the second floor. All this is just a preview of how Adam is going to fix the house. She receives a call from Jake, but doesn’t answer it. That night at Jake’s house, we see him leaving a message for Jane to pick up her phone. He is in the bathroom with the water running, to prevent Agness from hearing. Pedro, being a nosy brat, asks Jake why he was “showering” with his clothes on. Agness comes in and Pedro snitches, but Jake leaves without getting caught. He drives over to Jane’s house. Meanwhile, Adam is having dinner at her house. They talk and Jake spies on them through the kitchen window, then accidentally falls. As Adam leaves, Jake knocks on the door and says, “Oh Em Gee , I thought he’d never leave.” He grabs her and flirts. Jane says “it’s Nine o’clock, shouldn’t your wife be concern?” He reaches for her delicious dish and goes to the bathroom. He is sitting next to the bathtub eating her lavender ice cream, while she baths. He takes out marijuana and asks if she remembers the old days, when they would smoke and get high. But that night, Jane tells Jake she has changed, but he insists and puts the marijuana in the sink’s cabinet, saying one day they will smoke it together for old times sake.

The next morning, Jane meets her psychiatrist, Dr. Alan. She asks if an affair is okay. He sees her condition of affair as a good way to reconnecting with Jake, so suggests she continues. That night she arranges a candle-lit dinner in hopes of being back with Jake as a family, which Jake agrees happily over the phone. He was at the fertility center when she called. They meet up in the same hotel the same afternoon, to Harley’s surprise while having lunch with Lauren. He kisses her, trying to distract her from noticing Jane and Jake getting into the elevator and kissing as the doors close. In the room, Jake faints and a doctor goes up as Harley sees this as well. Jake tells the doctor he is taking “Flomax” to reduce constant urination. In return, it decreases his semen. (He tells the doctor due to to his decrease in semen, it isnt good for his wife, which Jane thinks is the reason for the fertility center, but actually Jake was saying it to her. Both the doctor and Jane were surprised, but Jane agrees to follow the story and says she prefers lots of semen, all in which the doctor said “wow” as if it was a competitive matter to please a women, LOL!)

That night, Jane prepares the special dinner for Jake, making his favorite dishes and picking a nice dress. Jake at home, anxious to leave the house, grabs his phone and walks to the bathroom. Agness notices the phone and grows suspicious, preventing him from calling Jane. She tells him to put Pedro back in his bed, and takes off her shirt, saying she is ovulating, compensating the dinner arrangement which Jake had thought was able to attend, since Agness was going to a party, but canceled due to ovulation. Jane drinks a glass wine walking around with the food getting cold and she waits for Jake, unknowingly of the situation. Jake seemed distressed as he sets Pedro in his bed and puts his hand on the boy’s chest. At this moment, Jake feels torn apart from two different families. He goes over to Jane’s house the next morning, hoping for forgiveness, but Jane ignores him as if he wasn’t there. The kids are happy to see him and ask if Jane will be coming to the party with dad. She says “No, I have another date with Adam.” to much of Jake’s surprise, so he leaves the house since he couldnt stay over because of Agness.

Adam and Jane’s relationship grows stronger. They have dinner together and one night, she takes him to her bakery to make croissants. They flirt and eventually Adam was going to ask if he could kiss her, but she already kissed him. Afterwards, Adam drives her to Luke’s party and before they arrive, Jane takes the marijuana that was supposedly meant for Jake and her to smoke, decided to smoke it with Adam. He was hesitant at first, but let in. Luke’s friend walks by and asks, “Who brought the reefer?”, unknowingly Jane and Adam were smoking behind the shrubs. They go inside and dance/laugh. Adam sees Jake at a table, glaring at him with Jane, enviously. He walks over and asks if he can talk with Jane for a second. Jake takes her to the bathroom and confess his love for her. He realizes she was high and she admittedly said she smoked the reefer with Adam instead. Jake gets annoyed because it was meant for him and Jane, but he takes it from her just as Harley opens the door and sees them together, again this time, but smoking the reefer. Harley was going to leave them two alone, but Jane intervened and asks him to take a pull, which at first he didn’t want to, but took a big pull. The three walk out and Adam is dancing with Agness, and Jake dances with Jane, which Agness sees and gets emotional and a bit upset, now that the secrets revealed. She sees Jake happily dance and smile affectionately at Jane. Jake was just about to kiss Jane, but she turns away and tells him that it’s over and stop this affair immediately. She walks towards Adam. Jake sees Jane smile happily as she approaches Steve and feels sad, as Agness is across the room staring at him, which he doesn’t notice.

The following morning, everybody is drunk. Harley is wearing female pajamas, Luke forgot what happened last night. Gabby yawns, just as she asks, “What is dad doing outside?” Jane walks out and Jake approaches her. He told her that he left Agness that night, for good. He really loves Jane and wants to live here again, since he has no where to go. The kids come out to see whats going on and sees the truth that although the parents are divorced, Jake wants to be back again.

The computer is on the bed, which Jake doesnt realize Adam is watching. But both Adam and Jane went to the bathroom, so Jake adjusts the computer as Jane walks out and screams, Adam comes back and sees Jake’s private area and yells all different kinds of things. Jake surprised gets off the bed and turns around to pick up his clothes, only to moon at the computer (Adam). The kids run to the room and asks whats going on. Jake confesses that he left Agness for their mother. They have been meeting secretly since New York, and having an affair. The kids, shocked asks Jane if this is correct, which she agrees to. Gabby asks if they’re going to be back together, which Jake says yes they will, but Jane strictly says, “No, we’re not going to be together again.” Adam hears this and immediately turns off this computer, which Jane sees.

The following morning, Jane arrives at Adam’s office and apologizes. Adam tells her that her divorcement isn’t officially over. He sees the love that Jake is expressing towards her is real. He continues to say that, it’s best if he discontinues to meet with Jane, incase of getting into a serious relationship. He wants to resolve this situation simply by leaving her and allowing her divorcement with Jake heal. Jane asks if he will continue with remodeling her kitchen, but he says he might let Peter fill in the job instead. She becomes speechless and walks out. She drives home and sees Jake sitting on a swing outside her house. She sits down with him and they talk. Jake says he loves her and doesn’t regret a second chance. Jane smiles and says the same. It starts to rain, but we just see the rain hitting the swing they were sitting on. The camera then focuses on a group of men outside, huddle under a tent discussing the project. Jane walks outside in hopes of seeing Adam, but doesn’t. However, he pops out from the crowd and tells her, “Its a lucky day to construct in the rain.” She smiles and asks the group if they want coffee. They all walk inside the house as Adam walks with her and asks if she has any of those double fudge chocolate cakes in her house. She laughs and says “you love that stuff, dont you?” The credits roll.

Alvin And The Chipmunks 2

Synopsis and Movies Alvin And The Chipmunks 2 : At an arena for a charity benefit rock concert, the Chipmunks are performing and the crowd goes wild. Alvin takes the lead, and then begins to show off, and Dave (Jason Lee) calls him over and tells him to stop it. He reminds him that this is a charity event, and not all about Alvin, and to stop it, but Alvin refuses. He slings the cord to his electric guitar over a high beam, and swings over the crowd while playing his guitar. Inadvertently, Alvincord knocks a huge Alvin-cutout loose, and it hits Dave. Dave is taken to the hospital, and is covered in gauze, a neck brace, and traction and casts on every limb.Before going under sedation, Dave tells the chipmunks that Aunt Jackie (the one Theodore calls Popcorn Jackie since she sends them popcorn) will take care of them, and that he has arranged for them to go to school. Lastly, he puts Simon in charge and tells them to be good.

The chipmunks fly home, and see Popcorn Jackie waiting for them with cousin Toby (Zachary Levi). Toby neglects to set the brake on her wheelchair, and she rolls backwards down 2 flights of stairs, and out the doors. An ambulance takes her, and Toby says hell watch the boys.

At home, he tells the boys to stay out of trouble, while he is busy playing video games. They play around and eat junk food since no one is watching. Dave calls, and Alvin decides not to tell him about Jackies accident, and hangs up on him quickly. As usual, Theodore wakes up at night from a nightmare, and goes into Tobys room and asks if he can stay there. Toby agrees, and tells him that chipmunks dont have anything to fear but eagles. Eagles with large talons that want to catch and eat chipmunksthis scares Theodore, and he runs out of Tobys room. Now Theodore is scared of eagles.

Toby takes the boys to school, and drops them at the curb. They walk in, and are nearly stepped on amid the chaos of the high school hallways. Theodore sees the school mascot is an eagleand remembers Tobys story, and runs away, scared. In homeroom, all the girls in the class go mad for the chipmunksand leave the football hero and his gang. They vow to get even with the chipmunks.

Back at JETT Records, where Ian (David Cross), their former manager worked, Ian is broke, and living in the back room. He blames all his loss on the chipmunks and wants to get back at them someday. A FedEx envelope arrives, and 3 little girl chipmunks chew their way out: Brittany, Jeannette and Eleanor. They want to meet Alvin, Simon and Theodore, and sing with them. Ian lies to the girls, telling them that the chipmunks broke his heart, and got too arrogant, and turned against him, and left him penniless. He hears the girls sing, and realizes he can make a new start with their talent, especially Brittanys.

Back at school, the chipmunks have lunch with the girls, and the football guys are jealous. They come over to give Alvin a hard time, but before they can, the chipmunks give the boys wedgies, which make the girls laugh. Theodore sees a huge bronze eagle statue in the foyer, and runs away, still frightened by eagles. Ryan (Kevin G. Schmidt), the mean football guy, grabs Simon and dunks his head in the toilet, then drops him in. Alvin saves him from drowning, and when they leave the restroom, they see the same boys poking Theodore in the butt and making fun of him, and call him fat. Alvin and Simon attackand end up in the principals office. Principal Rubin (Wendie Malick) tells them they have 2 choices: suspension, or represent the school in a Sing-Off competition. The schools music program is about to be shut down due to budget cuts, so winning the competition and the $25,000 prize would save the program. The chipmunks agree to do it.

Back at home, the boys watch Meerkat Manor together. Toby is busy with his video games and neglects caring for them. They try to tell Toby about their bad day at school, but he just tells them it will be better tomorrow.

First thing at school the next day is P.E., and the chipmunks are getting hit by ball after ball in dodge ball. Alvin, though, challenges Ryan, and catches the ball thrown at him. Ryan talks to him, and says that he has good hands, and they might be able to use him on the football team. Alvin is excitedbut Simon and Theodore are worried. Alvin works out with the football guys in the gym, and starts to become one of them. He even moves to their table at lunch, leaving Simon and Theodore.

Ian sees a notice in the newspaper about the upcoming Sing-Off, and realizes this is his big chance to break the girl chipmunks into the business. He enrolls them in school, and reminds them to avoid Alvin, Simon and Theodore because they cant be trusted.

After school, Alvin, Simon and Theodore are rehearsing, and Ian comes by. He brings the girls, called The Chipettes and has them sing for Principal Rubin. He challenges her decision to have The Chipmunks be the designated singers for the school, so she agrees to a competition Friday night, where applause will decide if its the Chipmunks or the Chipettes to represent the school. When they are at school together the next day, Alvin tries to talk to Brittany, but she snubs him. He tries to warn her about Ian, but she wont believe him.

Ian works the Chipettes hard in preparation for the competition, and comments that Eleanor is too short. He shoves both Eleanor and Jeannette (glasses) towards the back, and says that Brit is going to be a mega-star.

Dave calls and talks to Toby. Toby tells him about Aunt Jackies injury and being in the hospital, and Dave starts to worry. Before he can ask more, Toby hangs up.

The football guys decide to mess with Simon, and tell him hes been selected to be the Litter Monitor. There isnt such a position; they just do it to embarrass Simon. Alvin fins out, but doesnt come to help Simon, as he doesnt want to look bad with his new group of friends. Simon gets angry at Ryan, and he tells him that its a big joke. Simon leaves, mad. Alvin is supposed to play in the big away-game on Friday night and he is excited, but realizes it is at the same time as the competition against the Chipettes.

Helping with Toys for Tots, Theodore and Eleanor meet, and hit it off. She is wearing huge shoes, to make her taller, and stumbles a lot. Theodore tells her she doesnt need them-she is perfect just the way she is. She blushes, and they smile at each other.

At the football game, Alvin is frustrated b/c he hasnt played once. With 9 seconds left and one play, Ryan calls him in, and they run a special Alvin play: Ryan passes the football long, downfield, and Alvin is ON the ball, and when it lands in the end zone, Alvin is on the bottom, and catches it, making a touchdown, and they win. They celebrate afterwards, and Alvin goes with them. Back at the school, the Chipettes sing, and when it is time for the Chipmunks to sings, there is no Alvin. Simon and Theodore go to the podium and explain that without Alvin, they cant sing. They are booed by the students, and the principal proclaims the Chipettes the winner. Alvin shows up much later, when it is all deserted, and realizes his big mistake. He goes home, and is ignored by Simon and Theodore.

In the morning, they find a note from Theodore, saying he has run away form home, and is at the zoo. He has gone to live with the meerkats. He goes through the fence, underneath a sign that says Meerkat Exhibit ClosedBirds of Prey Exhibit Open. Without knowing it, Theodore walks in and faces a large eagle, of which he is deathly afraid. Toby, Alvin and Simon arrive to help him. Alvin distracts the eagle, and then they run for the fence. Theodore gets stuck since he is chubby, and as Alvin pulls, Simon pushes. They make it out in time, and Alvin apologizes for his behavior and they make up.

Ian tells the Chipettes they are opening a concert for Britney Spears, but it is at the same time as the big Sing-Off. He says the Sing-Off never mattered; he just wanted to get them seen so he could make money and be famous again. Ian also says he is only talking Brittany, and when she refuses, he locks all 3 of them in a cage and puts them in a limo. While he is busy, Brittany uses his cell phone and calls Toby, and asks for help. Alvin tries to tell her how to do the lock on the cage. Alvin hops on a motorcycle and tells them he is coming to help.

Pulling alongside the limo, Alvin sees the girls have gotten out of the cage and are on the roof. He throws helmets to each of them, and then they jump down to his motorcycle. They ride off, and Ian is furious. Ian stops and gets a remote controlled helicopter and chases the chipmunks with it. They end up on the skids, hanging on for dear life, and Britney has an idea: they all throw their helmets at Ina, and he drops the remote control. They lean hard to catch it, and Jeannette saves it, and now steers them to the competition. They fly in just as it is their turn, and the audience applauds and cheers. All 6 chipmunks decide to perform together, and they sing,We Are Family, and unanimously win, and save the schools music program. Dave and Toby are in the audience, and cheer.

On the way out, Dave hobbles with Alvin. He has a cast on one leg, uses crutches, and has a neck brace on. Alvin tells him he offered the Chipettes their house and said they could live there with the, Dave looks concerned, and says Alvin!

At the Staples Center for the Britney Spears concert, we see the Chipettes announcedand out come Ian, wearing a gold strapless dress, and with 2 sock puppets on his hands, and one taped to his head. He tries to be the Chipettes, and is booed, and security hauls him offstage.

Back at home, the Chipmunks are in a 3-tiered bunk bed on one side of the room, and the Chipettes are in a 3-tiered bunk bed on the other side of the room. Dave tells them good night, but Alvin refuses to go to bed. Light on, lights off, lights on, lights offDave tries to grab Alvin in the dark, stumbles, a loud crash sounds, and we hear him yell, ALVIN!

Sherlock Holmes

Synopsis and Movies Sherlock Holmes : The movie opens with Dr. John Watson (Jude Law) and Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan) riding in a carriage in the middle of the night. The scene cuts from the carriage to Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) who is following on foot. He’s in a tremendous hurry – he darts between columns, up and down stairs and around buildings effortlessly – and finally enters a non-descript building.Once inside, Holmes starts running down a spiral staircase, but pauses when he notices a ruffian who is standing guard. He analyzes the situation (the audience actually sees in slow-motion how Holmes plans to take the ruffian guard out), and then disarms the ruffian. Holmes continues running down the stairs, until he reaches the basement, where a black magic ritual is taking place. Holmes hides behind a column to assess the situation again.

In the center of the room, there’s a girl wearing a white dress and lying on a table, while a hooded figure stands over her chanting. Scattered across the room are several other hooded figures and ruffian guards. Holmes begins calculating how to take them out, but is interrupted when a guard comes up from behind him. He has no choice but to engage in a fight with the room.

Once the fighting really begins, most of the other hooded figures scatter. The main figure standing over the girl stays however, and his chanting begins to reach a feverish pitch. Holmes continues to fight and is about to be overwhelmed, when Watson suddenly pops up and takes out several of the men attacking Holmes. They greet each other with amusing banter (their friendship is very much written as a bromance, and come up at several points in the film), where Watson chides Holmes for forgetting to bring his pistol AND forgetting to turn off the stove.

Back at the table, the (possibly possessed) girl reaches up for a dagger and makes to stab herself. Holmes hurries over and stops her just in time. The hooded figure stops to greet Sherlock by name, and is revealed to be Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong). As he taunts Sherlock, Watson comes running over, but is stopped by Holmes. Turns out, Lord Blackwood had some kind of large glass/needle that would have pierced Watson if he had gotten any closer. Holmes directs Watson to put his energies into tending the girl, and Lestrade and his men burst in just in the nick of time.

As Blackwood is led off by Scotland Yard, Lestrade chides Holmes for not waiting for Lestrade’s orders. Holmes says that the girls parents hired him, so he doesn’t report to Lestrade. Before Lestrade can retort, a newspaper photographer who wants to take their picture interrupts him. Holmes throws up an arm and prevents the camera from capturing his face. Thus, all the credit is given to Lestrade instead.

The credits flash by and consist of newspaper headlines detailing Holmes and Watson’s exploits.

The scene now cuts to Baker Street, where Watson is treating an elderly patient.

As he dresses, the patient asks about Watson’s plans to move his medical practice to a new headquarters. Watson confirms that he is moving, and that he hopes to have the touch of a woman around the place soon. The patient congratulates him on his (potential – as Watson hasn’t proposed yet) nuptials, before nervously asking if Holmes is moving too. Watson says no, but is promptly interrupted by several loud blasts that send both men ducking for cover.

The patient leaps up and says that the blasts must be gunfire, but Watson soothes him and tells him that Holmes is probably hanging a picture with nails and hammer. Watson ducks out to check on the commotion, and is met by their housekeeper Mrs. Hudson (Geraldine James). She tells Watson that Sherlock is in a mood, and she hopes that he can calm Sherlock down. At this point, the elderly patient comes out and is about to talk, when there’s the sound of gunfire again. Watson tells Mrs. Hudson to get the patient a cup of tea, and he’ll go see to Sherlock himself. He also asks Mrs. Hudson to bring some food to cheer Sherlock up.
