Plot

In a New York City apartment a young boy named Josh Morrison (Austin Lynd Myers) watches through his telescope an approaching object coming from the sky. It is a baseball-sized metal ball which flies through the window of his room. He keeps it and shows it at school in a science class presentation. Some months later, on Liberty Island a massive fireball crash lands. The fireball is actually a Human sized spaceship (Eddie Murphy). It is controlled by 100 aliens, each one inch tall. Its captain (also played by Murphy and looking like Dave) pilots the spaceship along with his crew from inside its head. For people the spaceship seems fairly human, but odd and with superpowers. A superstitious cop named Officer Dooley (Scott Caan) and is desperately searching for the ship.

The aliens are seeking a way to save their planet, Nil, from an energy crisis. For that they need salt, which they plan to produce by draining the Earth's Oceans using the metal ball, so they have to recover it. Through a car accident in which the spaceship is hit by the car of Josh's single mother Gina Morrison (Elizabeth Banks), the spaceship befriends Gina and Josh, telling them it's name is Dave MingChang and sees the ball on a photograph. Josh tells him that is was taken from him by a bully. Directed to him by Josh, Dave takes the metal ball back from the bully.
The Captain spends time with Josh and Gina, and realizes that humans are more advanced than they thought, having feelings and love. He decides to cancel the plan of draining the oceans, because of the damage to the Earth. Number 2 (the second in command on the spaceship) disagrees, takes over command, and imprisons the captain (Number 1). Commander Number 3 (Gabrielle Union) is secretly in love with Number 1 and becomes jealous of Gina. She first cooperates in the change of command, but later agrees with Number 1. Number 1 and Number 3 are both expelled from the spaceship, but manage to reenter it and convince the crew that the captain should become in charge again. In the meantime one crew member, Number 17 (Kevin Hart) drunk from the alcoholic drink Dave has taken, takes a pretty female crew member and jumps out. Meanwhile, The Number 1 apologizes to Number 3 for ignoring her. He admits that he does love her and wants to be with her. Back at the police station, Dooley discovers Number 17 in his coffee and steals him to find out information from him.

The police knows from the impression of Dave's face in the dirt on the crash site what he looks like, and they arrest him for investigation. Dave breaks out, and the police try to arrest him again. Josh is at the scene and recharges Dave, who runs out of power, using a taser he takes from a police officer. The ball, thrown in the ocean by Number 2, is retracted. The captain orders Number 2 to be stuck in the ship's "butt" forever. The crew member who is with the police officer is allowed to enter Dave, and its rocket powered shoe with all crew leaves Earth. While in the ship, the Captain tells Number 3 that he will need a new "Number 2" and they kiss. During the end credits, the aliens dance to Shining Star by Earth, Wind and Fire.

Painted Skin 画皮

The movie's star-studded cast that includes Hong Kong action star Donnie Yen and mainland actors Vicky Zhao, Zhou Xun, Betty Sun and Chen Kun.To be released in September, Painted Skin is believed to be a horror film with a romantic twist. At the press conference, film director Gordan Chan said that the audiences who expect the film to be a typical horror movie are in for a surprise.
However, some media raised an eyebrow saying movie buffs expecting to see a thriller may be disappointed when it turns out to be a love story.
A highlight of the film is that its actors will be breaking free from typecasting to portray distinctly different characters than they normally play.

Our Dream Car

Ferrari 360 Modena
Ferrari knew that the car that would replace the 355 had to be something really exceptional. The Ferrari 360 Modena that was introduced in 1999 is exactly this: it's everything a Ferrari should be.

First off, the 360 is a very beautiful car, from the airvents in the front to the rear quad tailpipes, and everything in between. Then there is the 3.6 liter V8 that produces 400 hp, enough to accelerate the car to 60 miles per hour in just 4.3 seconds and give it a top speed of 190 mph.
What really makes the 360 an exceptional car though, is that it holds every part of the Ferrari spirit but still is an easier to live with, more refined car than its predecessor. In the 2000 Geneva Motor Show the stunning 360 Spider was also unveiled. It is scheduled to go on sale early in 2001
