'Never Let Me Go' ***1/2stars

every year a few good films gets lost in the end of the year bombardment of oscar hopefuls. last year there were a few ('city lights', 'agora') including 'never let me go'. you have to accept the premise that cloning is infact a way of life. when you accept this then you can realize that children are cloned to be donors for humankind. if you do accept these facts then you can enter the debate of whether or not these cloned ones have a 'soul'. it's an amazing film with an amazing premise that takes place not in te future but in the immediate past.

the leads are the young new brits who have a future in film. keira knightley, andrew garfield and carey mulligan shine as 'donors'. these three live up to their past roles and even surpass all prior performances. 

this is the sort of film that does what a film should do. it takes us somewhere else and lets our minds explore a world beyond what we know. it may not be for everyone but for true lovers of film it is a must see.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Mariska Hargitay has a new bundle of joy in her life!
According to People, the "Law & Order: SVU" star and husband Peter Hermann have adopted a baby girl.


The couple's baby, Amaya Josephine, was reportedly born outside the United States approximately a week ago.
"I'm deliriously happy," the 47-year-old actress told the mag. "From the minute she was born, she was just surprisingly alert and so full of love.


"We were considering both international and domestic adoption and we're thrilled that this is the way our prayers were answered," she adds.
"We talked a lot about mixed-race adoptions, and we are very excited that we are now a multi-racial family. We're just so happy she's here."
The actress said their 4-year-old son August is thrilled to be a big brother to baby Amaya.


"He is over the moon," she explained. "He calls her his baby because he says the whole thing was his idea. He always talks about how he's going to protect her. He's going to be a great big brother.
