review
The Samsung Galaxy View is out now, boasting an 18-inch screen and portability - it seems like a binge watchers dream come true.
The dinosaurs are back on screen and they look more real and fierce than ever.
The most important conclusion however is that Bellini's "Sonnambula" is worth seeing for Damrau and Camarena alone. Despite the poor production, these two great artists and their colleagues make the evening fulfilling on an emotional and musical level.
"Lone Survivor" succeeds in honoring its source material and the soldiers that made the ultimate sacrifice to serve their country. While the film is ultimately uneven in its execution, it is bound to leave viewers emotionally drained and with a stronger appreciation of the men and women that risk their lives for the safety of their nation.
Despite the conductor's shortcomings, this revival of "Rigoletto" should not be missed by any means. Hvorostovsky gives arguably the most memorable interpretation of the role at the Met in the last two decades while Lungu adds a dramatic vocal depth to Gilda that is uncommon. Polenzani's beautifully sung Duke rounds out the trio admirably and sets up the audience member for an unforgettable rendition of Verdi's middle period masterwork.

The film had all the ingredients to be a classic, and for many it will be. But the lack of suspense, coupled with the often didactic discourses and uninteresting characters makes "The Counselor" one of the biggest busts of 2013.
Now that the second generation iPad mini, or iPad mini 2, has been revealed, we can take a look at the competition to really get a sense of how it stacks up. One of the top competitors, of course, is Google's own second-generation small tablet, often called the Google Nexus 7 2. Here's the rundown.

Buoyed by a star turn from Phoenix, Jonze succeeds in creating a strong existential analysis on loneliness and its discontents. The film may play too slowly for some and the glacial tone of its latter sections may put off some audience members, but the ideas and thoughts Jonze puts into play certainly make for inspiring conversation.
