 Unless the Shrek team wants to follow its hero into the dangerous swamps of mid-life, thus shifting his literary pedigree away from William Steig and in the direction of John Updike or Philip Roth, it may want to leave him in a condition of more-or-less happily ever after. If ever a movie had a case of the blues and the blahs, it’s “Spider-Man 3,” the third and what feels like the end of Sam Raimi’s big-screen comic-book adaptations. As it happens, the over-all shape does recall a Busby Berkeley musical — snappy story, lavish number, snappy story, lavish number — but without the snap or fun. " — and meaning it — should produce a lot more laughs than this intermittently amusing sequel. The director Robinson Devor apparently would like viewers who watch his heavily reconstructed documentary, “Zoo,” to see it as a story of ineluctable desire and human dignity. 

Shot on Super 16-millimeter film, with many scenes steeped in a blue that would have made Yves Klein envious, “Zoo” is, to a large extent, about the rhetorical uses of beauty and metaphor and of certain filmmaking techniques like slow-motion photography. Characters don’t just walk in this film; they float across the frame, pouring like liquid toward their inexorable destinies. In this comedy, a cop assumes a new identity in his valiant battle against crime: an elderly grandmother. But there is nonetheless a feeling of finality about “Shrek the Third,” a sense that the tale has at last reached a state of completion. 

(This may be why I liked it better than the others. If ever a movie had a case of the blues and the blahs, it’s “Spider-Man 3,” the third and what feels like the end of Sam Raimi’s big-screen comic-book adaptations. Raimi as it has Peter Parker, but it seems as if it has zapped his gracious good humor, which was so critical to the first two films. This film seems to be "All About the Benjamins," to use the title of an Ice Cube action comedy. The bittersweet aspects of the film add texture, though they can't supplant the lack of comedy; there were more laughs in Ice Cube's last picture, "Torque."

In this comedy, a cop assumes a new identity in his valiant battle against crime: an elderly grandmother. Wendell, who works with a partner, Reyes (Jacob Vargas), out of an Airstream trailer he calls the Ellis Island of the Southwest, means no harm.

For more than a century, researchers have been trying to work out the raw ingredients that account for personality, the sweetness and neuroses that make Anna Anna, the sluggishness and sensitivity that make Andrew Andrew. Yet in the past decade or so a handful of psychologists have argued that the quicksilver elements of personal narrative belong in any three-dimensional picture of personality. And a burst of new findings are now helping them make the case. Researchers have found that the human brain has a natural affinity for narrative construction. During a standard life-story interview, people describe phases of their lives as if they were outlining chapters, from the sandlot years through adolescence and middle age. In analyzing the texts, the researchers found strong correlations between the content of people’s current lives and the stories they tell. They were laid low by divorce, only to meet a wonderful new partner.

Often, too, they say they felt singled out from very early in life — protected, even as others nearby suffered. Instead they go to a Koranic school, where they learn the Koran by rote. That DreamWorks ogre’s skin is the color of money after all.

But there is nonetheless a feeling of finality about “Shrek the Third,” a sense that the tale has at last reached a state of completion. With the decline of manufacturing and few formal jobs, many residents make a meager living off one another’s misery.But there is nonetheless a feeling of finality about “Shrek the Third,” a sense that the tale has at last reached a state of completion. Will he take over his father-in-law’s business or remain true to his vocation of bellowing and smashing things? But then again, so did my kids.)

Raimi as it has Peter Parker, but it seems as if it has zapped his gracious good humor, which was so critical to the first two films. He makes about $2 a day, and cannot afford to send his sons to school.

It is, rather more coyly, also about a man who died from a perforated colon after he arranged to have sex with a stallion.  Malcolm Turner (Martin Lawrence) is an FBI agent who is a master of disguise and will stop at nothing to get his man.

Venture capitalist: that’s the misleading job description preferred by the title character of the slight and silly “Wendell Baker Story.” Wendell (Luke Wilson), a cheerful Texan slacker, runs a profitable operation on the Tex-Mex border selling fake driver’s licenses to illegal migrant workers. This shambling, good-natured comedy is a Wilson family affair.

The attractive stranger at the airport bar hears one version, the parole officer another, and the P.T.A. Every American may be working on a screenplay, but we are also continually updating a treatment of our own life — and the way in which we visualize each scene not only shapes how we think about ourselves, but how we behave, new studies find. By better understanding how life stories are built, this work suggests, people may be able to alter their own narrative, in small ways and perhaps large ones. “This meaning-making capability — to talk about growth, to explain what something says about who I am — develops across adolescence.” In analyzing the texts, the researchers found strong correlations between the content of people’s current lives and the stories they tell. They were laid low by divorce, only to meet a wonderful new partner.  — they draw on these stories implicitly, whether they know they are working from them or not,” Dr.McAdams said.

Adler reported on 180 adults from the Chicago area who had recently completed a course of talk therapy. At some level, talk therapy has always been an exercise in replaying and reinterpreting each person’s unique life story. They characterized their difficulty as if it were an outside enemy, often giving it a name (the black dog, the walk of shame).

Those in the study who scored lower on measures of psychological well-being were more likely to see their moods and behavior problems as a part of their own character, rather than as a villain to be defeated. The investigators found that the third-person scenes were significantly less upsetting, compared with bad memories recalled in the first person.The emotional content of the memory is still felt, he said, but its sting is blunted as the brain frames its meaning, as it builds the story. You cannot create and nourish a robust baby merely on foods from plants. Responsible vegan parents know that breast milk is ideal. It contains many necessary components, including cholesterol (which babies use to make nerve cells) and countless immune and growth factors. That’s why health officials in Britain, Canada and other countries express caution about soy for babies. 

Almost three decades after her initial work on Martin Boyd, Niall’s choice of subjects seems more unexpected and her sense of biography’s possibilities more liberal than those of the young Monash academic. An expansion of provision improved opportunities for many young Australians, but equality of experience would be eroded if a clear hierarchy of institutions emerged. As Prime Minister Robert Menzies told federal parliament, unless there was a move away from what he called ‘the traditional nineteenth-century model’ it would not be possible for government to meet the demand for university education. As a result, the University of Melbourne sits only a few hundred metres from campuses of both Monash and La Trobe universities; the outer suburb of Bundoora is home to two university campuses replicating similar facilities; and a university based in Geelong has its largest campus in eastern Melbourne. 

With the decline of manufacturing and few formal jobs, many residents make a meager living off one another’s misery. Idriss Abdoulaye sells water from a pushcart for 20 naira a jerry can, about 15 cents, to people like himself, too poor to have wells. He makes about $2 a day, and cannot afford to send his sons to school. Instead they go to a Koranic school, where they learn the Koran by rote. In the first movie Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) met and wooed his lady love, Fiona (Cameron Diaz); in the second he got to know the in-laws.

(Ready or not, the studio is talking about a fourth.) Aesthetically and conceptually wrung out, fizzled rather than fizzy, this latest installment in the spider-bites-boy adventure story shoots high, swings low and every so often hits the sweet spot, but mostly just plods and plods along, as if its heart were pumping tired radioactive blood. " — and meaning it — should produce a lot more laughs than this intermittently amusing sequel.

When the moneyed inner-city entrepreneur Quentin Leroux (Harry Lennix) builds a lavish competitor called Nappy Cutz right across the street from Calvin's shop, the battle is on — Calvin has to fight to keep his business alive. The cinematographer, Sean Kirby, has done some striking work here. Characters don’t just walk in this film; they float across the frame, pouring like liquid toward their inexorable destinies. Determined to maintain his cover, Malcolm disguises himself as Big Momma, and now has to convince Sherry (and everyone else in the neighborhood) that Big Momma's still in town. Written by Luke Wilson, who directed with his older brother Andrew, it also stars a third brother, Owen, as Wendell’s nemesis. Smirks are to be had, but no belly laughs. For more than a century, researchers have been trying to work out the raw ingredients that account for personality, the sweetness and neuroses that make Anna Anna, the sluggishness and sensitivity that make Andrew Andrew.

They have largely ignored the first-person explanation — the life story that people themselves tell about who they are, and why. He makes about $2 a day, and cannot afford to send his sons to school. He said he worries they will end up as poor, illiterate traders like him.
