The US Department of Homeland Security is planning on carrying out reviews of 300,000 pending immigration cases. The reviews shall be done in a case-by-case manner.

The review policy, it is being alleged, shall shake up the US immigration system. Detractors claim that the reviews shall actually be a bypass of the congressional lawmakers, and are, thus, uncalled for.
One of the reasons for the reviews being done could be the tough policies set by Obama concerning immigrants, which, protests indicated, could cost the president a big chunk of Hispanic votes. Hence, the review method could be a way to appease that section of the American society.

Movie makers are taking advantage of the PG-13 ratings in movies. Many movie makers are crossing the official allowable limit of one nonsexual F-word per script. More and more films are being made with such trash talk and recent incidents include "Crazy Stupid Love", "Larry Crowne" and "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" which were all rated PG-13 but sneaked in a lot of rated content.
According to Joan Graves, head of Motion Picture Association of America's Classification and Rating Administration, the filmmakers are definitely taking advantage of the movie ratings system. The movie ratings system curbs the number of F-words to be used in a PG-13 movie to one but the MPAA guidelines also add that if two thirds of the rating board feel that multiple F-words are used in legitimate context or in an inconspicuous manner then the movie would be given a PG-13 rating.
Graves further added that all the members of the rating board were parents and rate a movie based on what they think majority of American parents would rate it on.

'Conan the Barbarian,' starring Jason Momoa and Rachel Nicholas is a 3D movie shot in Bulgaria. It is the story of Conan, a poor barbarian boy, who watches his parents die and learns to be the most barbaric of all barbarians. The movie is definitely not for the weak hearts are it has a lot of violence in it. Well that's what you get when it comes from German-born director Marcus Nispel responsible for making the 2003 remake of 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' and 2009's 'Friday the 13th.' But, there are few childish romantic moments too in it.
The movie is set in the fictional Hyborian Age, where monsters and sorcery were big threats and people were not too civilized. Not attempting to replicate the Schwarzenegger version with more humour and less violence, the new movie shows only a troubled ancient world of warring tribes, vestal virgins, lethal swords, dungeons, torture chambers and Machiavellian monsters.
Although cinematographically strong, the 113 minutes movie is beastly, brutal and a mess of English and America accents.

A fantastic sequel to the original Planet of the Apes called Rise of the planet of the apes was just released worldwide. The subject to matter in the movie this time is animal rights.
It can be said that the makers have very wisely combined their original story with the issue of animal rights. The movie Rise of the planet of the Apes surprisingly focuses on the bond between James Franco's research scientist Will Rodman, who is looking for a cure for Alzheimer disease and Caesar, a chimpanzee who lost his mother during the test of new brain enhancing drug.
Director Rupert Wyatt has showcased an astounding bond between a man and an animal, which very well strikes a chord and tells us that the distance between man and apes is not all that far as we think.
