98% Before Midnight

All Critics (156) | Top Critics (38) | Fresh (153) | Rotten (3)

Hawke and Delpy remain as charming as ever, and their combined goofiness is more endearing than annoying.

Love is messy here, life cannot be controlled, satisfaction is far from guaranteed. Romance is rocky at best. But romance still is.

Though "Before Midnight" is often uncomfortable to watch, it's never less than mesmerizing - and ultimately, a joy to walk with this prickly but fascinating couple again.

"Before Midnight" is heartbreaking, but not because of Jesse and Celine. It's the filmmakers' passions that seem to have cooled.

Before Midnight is fascinating to watch, and so long as Celine and Jesse are communicating, there's still hope.

How (Jesse and Celine) try to rekindle that flame is what drives Midnight, a film that feels so authentic it's like overhearing a conversation you're not sure you should be hearing.

The release of each sequel is becoming an event, so it's particularly great to see Before Midnight not only meeting expectations but raising the bar.

It's a brave, challenging and essential installment in what is one of modern cinema's finest trilogies.

The beauty of this film - like the two before - is its natural flow of conversation and ability to engage and transport us into the moment

Before Midnight is no romance. It's a horror movie.

Takes its traditional romantic tale into more insightful territories.

Hawk and Delpy know just how to get under your skin. Their onscreen alter egos fit like a glove, and witnessing their ageing, nagging, toying love is a true privilege.

What lifts Linklater's trilogy above your average dialogue-heavy indie is not just the intelligence of the conversation but its frankness and humor.

There's not a hint of melodrama or falsity in the Before series.

The 'Before' trilogy is a vacation for me. I am taken away, and it is never for long enough. I genuinely feel lucky to have these movies.

I'm not sure this is the end of Richard Linklater's 'Before' trilogy. It's perfection just as it is, but then again, Linklater has nine more years to work on the sequel.

Loving words mix with personal attacks, the magic moments with the unintended slights, as we witness the occasional desperation of imperfect people doing the best they can when life moves beyond meet-cute and courtship. That's authentic.

Linklater and his players bring an end to the fantasy and welcome the thrilling ups and bitter downs of reality to this love story.

Like the first two films, it reflects the real world in a way that seems almost preternatural. It's just that, here, the real world is a harsher, more disappointing place.

The duo, clearly so comfortable in their characters' skin, indulge in intelligent banter, sharp humour and emotional truths.

So much better written than contemporary novels, this film is a literary as well as cinematic achievement to cherish. For grown-ups.

As before, it's often very funny, with Jesse and Celine swapping Woody Allen-esque one-liners - nicely snarky, appealingly abrasive.

The acting, the dialogue and direction are superb.

None of the films is faultless in itself, but, tinted with complementary tones, the complete cycle comes as close to perfection as any trilogy in cinema history.

Marvelous. It's impossible to shake the feeling that we are merely eavesdropping on reality. Witty, wise, and -- most important of all -- truly romantic in ways that movies usually aren't.

It's been 18 years since Hawke, Delpy and Linklater introduced us to Jesse and Celine, and their story just gets richer, funnier and more punchy each time we see them. In 1995's Before Sunrise, they were idealistic 23-year-olds.

Snapshots of Military Science from 1913, 1 Year before World War I [Slide Show]

Nations raced to gain an advantage with new technology and better armaments

There are many tangled causes for World War I, fought from 1914 to 1918. Historians cite the alliance system, imperialism, nationalism, and the social shifts caused by modernity and industrialization. Rival nations raced to build more efficient and effective weapons and ways to control sea, sky and land. Countries also raced to develop the military systems to wield these weapons and industrial capacity to supply them. There is something of a chess game in watching the buildup of Germany?s zeppelin fleet in an attempt to gain an advantage over Britain?s battleship fleet, or seeing French aircraft industry as it was built up to gain an advantage over the German land war capability. Perhaps one reason that the public and governments were keen to go to war was a severe underestimation of the damage and casualties that massive numbers of these weapons could cause.

? View the Military Science from 1913 Slide Show

Scientific American observed this race keenly in 1913, even though the United States was not drawn into the war until 1917. The images, mostly of weapons, in this photo album show some of the mistaken assumptions about how a war would be fought. Battleships were a main focus of war at sea, a traditional path to victory for many countries. But torpedo attacks by submarines against supplies and raw materials carried by merchant shipping could wreck a country?s war capabilities just as surely as large-caliber shells could. The idea of enemy airships and airplanes suddenly appearing in the skies to rain deadly bombs were a huge factor in the minds of the civilian population and military planners. But the psychological terror of these attacks far outweighed their actual results.

From the archives of Scientific American of 1913, here are some snapshots of military technology. In 1914 the rivals would become opponents in a war that was called ?the Great War for Civilization.?

Facebook All Set To Offer Sports Betting

July 14th, 2013

Online Betting in the UK has already exceeded ?2 billion and in an attempt to break into the world of online betting, Facebook has teamed up with bookmaker Paddy Power for in-play betting. This is major online gambling expansion from Facebook. The offer is ?restricted to the UK, where Sports Betting is all legal.

Facebook was under fire earlier for offering casino games with real money winnings. The recent deal with Paddy power which that was announced yesterday will enable Facebook to integrate ?Paddy Power in Play ? the sport betting platform, and make it availible to its users from the UK.

Sports Betting Right From your Facebook Account

?Paddy Power in Play ?will enable Facebook users to bet right from their Facebook accounts on a variety of sporting events while providing them the opportunity to engage with other players.

Both the Companies are excited about the prospects of this new sport betting product. According to?Peter O?Donovan, managing director of Paddy Power ????We are pleased to partner with Facebook on this pioneering work. ? ?,while the Facebook spokesman was quoted as saying ??Online betting is a very popular and a regulated phenomenon in the UK , we have carefully selected our provider and we have taken strict measures to prevent under 18 ?.

How Safe Will be the Under Age ?

Facebook has some 3 million UK based users that are aged in the range of 13 to 17 , which is an alarming sign for the campaign groups.

Both Facebook & Paddy Power have assured that ?strict measures are taken to make ?Paddy Power in Play ??totally inaccessible to users under 18. ?But critics are still skeptical and have raised concerns that under 18 can still access the product by providing ?wrong age information or using their parents credit cards.

A similar research in 2008 by the Gambling commission has found that almost 1 million children are suffering with gambling problems. A campaign group ?Stop Children Gambling ? has stated on its website that Street Bookmakers have the same age limit but they can at least identify the gamblers age with the face looks and unfortunately it is not the case on internet.

Breast cancer leading cause of alcohol-attributable death in New Zealand women

(Medical Xpress)?Alcohol is responsible for more than one-in-twenty deaths of New Zealanders aged under 80, new University of Otago research suggests. Although most harm to young people's health from drinking is through injury, alcohol also contributes to chronic diseases, and breast cancer is the leading cause of death from alcohol in both M?ori and non-M?ori women overall.

A new assessment of the burden of ill health due to alcohol consumption in New Zealand, commissioned by the Alcohol Advisory Council, is published today (July 15) by the Health Promotion Agency. The report, 'Alcohol-attributable burden of disease and injury in New Zealand: 2004 and 2007' included 35 different groups of health conditions causally related to drinking, and found that approximately 800 deaths per year in people under 80 were attributable to alcohol.

Professor Jennie Connor and Robyn Kydd from the University's Department of Preventive and Social Medicine in Dunedin conducted the study in collaboration with the WHO Global Burden of Disease 2010 Risk Factors Collaborating Group, based in Toronto.

The report confirms the significant impact of heavy drinking and intoxication on health outcomes, with 43% of all alcohol deaths being due to injuries, and much of the burden of non-fatal conditions being due to alcohol use disorders.

Professor Connor says the report also highlights alcohol's important toxic and carcinogenic properties, and that for many chronic diseases there is no threshold for safe consumption. More than 30% of alcohol-attributable deaths were due to cancers, including breast and bowel cancer.

"This study demonstrates that alcohol consumption is one of the most important risk factors for avoidable mortality and disease in early and middle adulthood, and contributes substantially to loss of good health across the life course," she says.

More alcohol-related harm was seen in men than in women, and in M?ori than in non-M?ori. These differences were largely due to differences in alcohol consumption patterns.

"Alcohol has so many different impacts on health that summaries at a population level are needed for us to understand the magnitude of the issue as a whole and the importance of healthy alcohol policy.

"In addition to the wide range of physical health conditions included in this study, we need to remember that there are many effects of heavy drinking on communities that are not able to be reflected in studies such as this", says Professor Connor.

Health Promotion Agency (HPA) General Manager Policy, Research and Advice, Dr Andrew Hearn, says the report is a valuable addition to the evidence of the impact of alcohol on people's health and as a cause of injury across the population in New Zealand.

"Reports such as this can be used to inform preventive strategies and their priorities," he says.

Thailand University Comes Under Fire for Hitler Superhero Mural

Thailand?s Chulalong University has come under fire for displaying a mural depicting Adolph Hitler as a superhero, along with Superman and Batman.

The mural, outside the University?s Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts building, has attracted a great deal of attention as passersby pose in front of the mural to take photographs, some of whom perform the Nazi salute.

?Hitler as a superhero? Is he an appropriate role model for Thailand's younger generation? a genocidal hate monger who mass murdered Jews and Gypsies and who considered people of color as racially inferior?? charged Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a leading Jewish human rights group dedicated to exposing anti-Semitism and educating about the lessons of the Holocaust.

?The Simon Wiesenthal Center is outraged and disgusted by this public display at Thailand's leading school of higher education,? said Rabbi Cooper. ?This mural has been on display for days nearby the University's Faculty of History building. We are outraged by those who created this travesty, at the young person posing using the Nazi 'Seig Heil' salute and appalled and disgusted by the total silence of the University's elite for the apparent failure of anyone demanding its removal.?

Last winter, Rabbi Cooper brought the Wiesenthal Center's?Courage To Remember Holocaust exhibit, translated into Thai, to Bangkok's UN Hall where he joined 500 community activists, students and diplomats to stand in solidarity with 6 million Jewish men, women and children murdered by Hitler's Nazi Third Reich.

?Perhaps it?s time that the University arranges for its faculty and students to view it as part of an anti-genocide curriculum,? Cooper concluded.
