The Artist is far from revolutionary. It has been done before just like in the Silent Movie of Mel Brooks in 1976. The story line is also not new with a troubled character successfully rekindling a line of communication with the public.

Check out the A Star is Born and Singin in the Rain and you will notice the key references. The Artist starts things off with a premier where George Valentin played by Jean Dujardin screens his newest film to a big reception. The lead character is like the epitome of silent film icons, slick hair, eyebrows fixed, mustache groomed, and a perfect jaw line.

After the premier, George is seen with Peppy Miller portrayed by Berenice Bejo a professional dancer that gets a role for a next project. The presence of of Peppy and Valentin screams amid the silence. Just seeing them is pure pleasure.

Then the talkies come (but of course we do not hear it). It is an innovation that brings his star to stardom. And George, who remains silent, falls out of favor.

The director Hazanvicius was able to make good use of all conventions of the silent cinema and made use of them well we must say. It is entertaining from start to finish with a good blend of conflicts and comical relief.

The Artist might not be appreciated by everyone but it deals a lot with a good dose of history, art, and cinema. It is a great watch even when in line with the very modern Hugo of Scorsese.

The movie stars Lightning McQueen, who is still the voice of Owen Wilson, and his friend Mater, the tow truck, still voiced by Larry the Cable Guy. McQueen, Mater, and McQueen’s girlfriend Sally Carrera all reside in Radiator Springs. McQueen has just won the Piston Cup and is now urged to race in the World Grand Prix. McQueen is hesitant, but with some urging finally agrees. Sally pleads with McQueen to take Mater with him and he agrees to that as well.

The two set out on a journey to Japan and Europe for the World Grand Prix, but somehow Mater is involved in some international espionage. The movie is fun, light-hearted, and enjoyable for the entire family. The antics of Mater will be sure to crack a few smiles on the older crowd, and the action-packed story will keep the children glued to the screen. Everyone wants to know what happens. Will McQueen win the World Grand Prix?

The storyline is full of surprises as McQueen and Mater learn of a plot set forth by Professor Zundapp to explode cars during the race so that Allinol fuel would be doubted. The end result is to have everyone depend on Zundapp for fuel. Mater is mistakenly provided information, and confusingly reports back to McQueen. This confusion causes McQueen to lose a race and become angry with Mater.

The movie is involved but fun. It seems like a lot of details to keep up with, but the characters make it good-humored. Young children might not understand the secrecy, espionage, and feud over fuel, but they will enjoy the movie’s animation, excitement, and constant action.

Even if you did not watch the first Cars movie you will definitely have a good time with this movie. The characters will be sure to amuse, the plot is sure to entertain, and the situations will keep you focused. A movie that is terrific for anyone and everyone in the family to enjoy together.

This year’s theme was “Alice in Wonderland”, so ID&T made sure everything looked as in a fairy tale. Colorful stages, little sparkling fountains, every corridor decorated and the right atmosphere set. Although the summer hasn’t been particularly great in Belgium, we had 3 days of sunshine at Tomorrowland. During the 3-day festival 60 000 party people passed De Schorre in Boom, and for each and every one of them there was something in the line-up. Whether you like hardstyle, trance, electro or mainstream, there is always a stage to your liking. Same goes for food and drinks, actually.

One of my personal favorites is Avicii. I believe we’ll be hearing a lot from this guy. Great catchy tunes, and he throws in nice vocals too. I enjoyed Basto!’s surprise act too – live piano at a dance festival? Only at Tomorrowland! Classic trance with Cosmic Gate: everybody moving, nice show. They know how to get the audience involved! And Promo is still a master of hardcore. Seamless transition from light hardstyle to heavy hardcore.

There is a reason Tomorrowland gets sold out faster each year. Tomorrowland sets the rules, it raises the bar for dance festivals all around Europe. No wonder it got the “Only for DJ’s” award as “Best Dancefestival”, and it got nominated as “Best Music Event” at the International Dance Music Awards.

I’ll make sure to get my tickets as soon as possible next year!

Oh and euh — that Maybach is going on sale for charity, consider placing a bid if you’re a multi-millionaire like my favorite commenter, Jason!

This girl is kind of a big deal on the internet, and she’s now kind of a big deal in New York. If you have no idea who Kreayshawn is, you are NOT a hipster.

Apparently she needs to work on her live sets – but the videos on the tube are pretty awesome!

Pretty awesome, right?
