A funny new twist on a classic love story, WARM BODIES is a poignant tale about the power of human connection. After a zombie epidemic, R (a highly unusual zombie) encounters Julie (a human survivor), and rescues her from a zombie attack. Julie sees that R is different from the other zombies, and as the two form a special relationship in their struggle for survival, R becomes increasingly more human - setting off an exciting, romantic, and often comical chain of events that begins to transform the other zombies and maybe even the whole lifeless world

As much as I enjoy "The Walking Dead" on AMC and movies such as "28 Days Later," one of my ongoing complaints about the explosion of the zombie genre is the general mopery and overall predictability of those ever-staggering creatures.

They lurch. They snarl. They sniff the air for the scent of human flesh. They pounce and gnaw. They pound windows and doors, and express frustration when confronted with 10-foot-high cyclone fences. And then they get shot in the head and die.

That's pretty much it. We almost never get inside the rotted mind of the zombie or see things from the zombie point of view. They're forever penned in as the Big Metaphor.

One of the many exhilarating pleasures of "Warm Bodies" is the flipping of that script. This is a bloody fresh twist on the most popular horror genre of this century, with none-too-subtle echoes of a certain star-crossed romance that harks back to a certain bard who placed a certain young Romeo under a certain balcony.

I kinda love this movie. "Warm Bodies" is a well-paced, nicely directed, post-apocalyptic love story with a terrific sense of humor and the, um, guts to be unabashedly romantic and unapologetically optimistic.

Looking a little like a boy-band heartthrob who won first place at a Hollywood Halloween party thanks to a a professional makeup job and an artfully bloodied red hoodie, Nicholas Hoult gives an earnest and winning performance as "R," who could be a character in "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" or a John Hughes movie, if not for the small fact he's undead, having been recently zombified. (R's attempt to fill us in on the exact nature of the zombie apocalypse is one of the film's many affectionate nods to the all-too-familiar elements of so many zombie TV shows and movies.)

Unable to recall even his full first name (he's pretty sure it begins with the letter R), the kid knows he's a zombie and doesn't deny his hunger for living human flesh — but there are still traces of a real person inside. He spends his days lurching about an airport where he imagines the previous lives of his fellow zombies, listens to music in the grounded airplane he's converted into something of a condo and establishes the beginnings of a bond with M (Rob Corddry in a scene-stealing performance), who also seems to have more than a trace of his former humanity still lurking deep within.

Working from Isaac Marion's short story-turned-novel, writer-director Jonathan Levine infuses "Warm Bodies" with stylistic flourishes and winking in-jokes — some of them subtle, some so obvious characters are compelled to comment on them. ("What? It's funny!" says the delightful Analeigh Tipton when she chooses a particular song to accompany a makeover montage.)

There are three distinct species populating the Earth post-worldwide infection nightmare:

Humans. They're scarred from seeing spouses, children and friends turned into zombies or killed, but they're armed and they WILL shoot any corpse that comes within growling distance of their walled city.

Zombies. Wandering the streets, living in airports and warehouses, always on the alert for the next human meal. Maybe hopelessly lost. Maybe not.

"The Bonies." Zombies that have given up all hope and have resorted to tearing off their own flesh, leaving behind skeletal killing creatures that would just as soon take down a zombie as a human.

There's a key difference between the dead and the really and truly dead — a difference that comes to light when R strikes up a bond with Julie (Teresa Palmer). Granted, their "meet cute" involves mass slaughter and the consumption of one character's brains, which allows a zombie to access a dead character's memory. But other than those small details, the courtship of R and Julie isn't all that different from what we've seen in any number of human/human as well as human/supernatural creature romances, including the "Twilight" movies. Hoult and Palmer have a lovely, natural chemistry, even when the circumstances are grisly or silly — or both.

Perhaps recognizing there's no way he can out-crazy the material, John Malkovich actually delivers a relatively restrained performance as Julie's father, who of course is the leader of the military force that believes in shooting first, asking questions never. This guy's so hard-core, he probably wouldn't let his daughter date Tim Tebow, let alone a zombie who's desperately trying to get in touch with his human side. ("That could have gone better," says Julie with deadpan understatement after Dad finally meets R.)

"Warm Bodies" isn't perfect. It's a shame those Bonies are mediocre special-effects creations that run with a herky-jerky style that would have been mocked by the 1991-era "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" liquid-metal dude. Some of the musical choices are too broad and easy. And even after we get the message, the message is delivered at least two or three more times.

But those are minor drawbacks. Clocking in at a brisk 97 minutes, "Warm Bodies" is terrific entertainment.

A lot of zombie movies have heart — but usually the heart ends up on someone's plate. Cheers to "Warm Bodies" for taking us in a different direction for a change.

Directed by Jonathan Levine

Summary: With a great mix of horror, humor, and romance, "Warm Bodies" is a fun new spin on the classic tale of "Romeo & Juliet."

Story: "Warm Bodies" is based on the novel by Isaac Marion.

In a post-apocalyptic, zombie infested world, R wanders about aimlessly at an airport along with all of the other zombies. But R is a little bit different from the other undead. He collects human trinkets, he contemplates his meaningless existence, and he longs to feel anything again.

While on a trip into the city to feed on humans, R eats the brains of a young man named Perry. As he does so, R is able to experience the memories of his victim. But R has a different experience this time as he also falls in love with Perry's girlfriend Julie. Now experiencing Perry's love for Julie, R is overcome with feelings for her as well and a need to protect her.

R saves Julie from attacking zombies and an unlikely relationship is formed between the two. Little do they realize that R's love will start bigger events in motion in the zombie world.

"Warm Bodies" is rated PG-13 for zombie violence and some language.

What Worked: Upon first glance, you might look at "Warm Bodies" and think, "Ugh. Another zombie movie?" And under most circumstances, you'd be right. The zombie fad may be near its end. But as long as a film can offer a fresh take on old material, it can work. And fortunately, "Warm Bodies" does just that. First of all, it tells the story of R from a first person perspective. While most zombies are portrayed as thoughtless monsters, this story takes you inside of the head of a zombie. You hear what he's thinking as he kills a person, his thoughts about his pathetic state, his thoughts about other zombies, etc. It's a great new take on a classic movie monster. The other great thing it does is take the classic story of "Romeo & Juliet" and throws a modern zombie twist on it. The Montague family members are now zombies. The Capulets are the surviving humans. R is, of course, Romeo and Julie is Juliet. I was well over halfway through the film before I had this realization and even then it took them doing an amusing version of the balcony scene to make it blatantly obvious to me. As soon as the scene happens, you could hear the lightbulbs going off among audience members. The film also has some fairytale elements as Julie is the beauty and R is the beast. All of this combined together makes for a fun new take on the zombie genre.

Director Jonathan Levine manages to hit the tone pitch perfect with "Warm Bodies." There's plenty of comedy here, but there's an equal amount of drama as well. There's a great love story between R and Julie, but there's plenty of horror and zombie gore. Somehow Levine manages to balance all of these elements together and avoid falling squarely into one realm or another. It never turns into zombie parody, but it never takes itself too seriously either. The end result is a crowd pleasing film and a great date movie. Guys will love the action and horror while girls will love the romance and engaging relationships. There's something here for everyone.

The cast of "Warm Bodies" is excellent. Nicholas Hoult ("X-Men: First Class") plays R. Much of his performance is purely physical with little or no dialogue. But he conveys a lot with his zombie body language. Throw in his witty narration on top of his performance and it's a great combination. This also seems to be a breakout role for Teresa Palmer as Julie. Best known for "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and "I Am Number Four," she really gets the spotlight here. She's tough, pretty, and you believe her transition from fear of R to caring for him. She ultimately has good chemistry with Hoult. The cast is rounded out by Analeigh Tipton as Nora, Rob Corddry as R's zombie friend M, and Dave Franco as Perry.

"Warm Bodies" also has a fun soundtrack. You'll hear well-placed bits of Bruce Springsteen's "Hungry Heart," Scorpions' "Rock You Like A Hurricane," and more. They feature everyone from Bob Dylan to M83 and Delta Spirit. It's an eclectic mix that works like the movie itself.

What Didn't Work: I don't have much to criticize about "Warm Bodies." If I had to nitpick, I'd say the ending was a little convenient. I can't discuss it more without getting into spoilers, but the film is resolved in a nice and neat bow that may put off some. It requires you to believe in a bit of fairytale magic that may be a bit of a stretch for some people.

I'd also say John Malkovich is a little flat as Julie's father Grigio. He's supposed to be emotionally distant from his daughter, but you do start to wonder what another actor might have done in the role.

Finally, the CG of the "Bonies" is a bit of a mixed bag. They are skeletal zombies who have deteriorated so far that there's almost nothing left of them. In some scenes, they're as scary and frightening as you might hope. In other scenes they look very CG, especially when they are running. But it is ultimately passable and you're so invested in the characters of R and Julie that you ignore it and move on.

The Bottom Line: "Warm Bodies" is a fun surprise in a time when movies are typically dumped to die early deaths. It is entertaining for wide audiences and a great date movie. If you like "Zombieland," "The Walking Dead" or romantic comedies, then this is a film you'll want to check out.

Muscle Temperatures: How Warm Up Affects The Body

...Warm up: - Warming up increases overall body and muscle temperatures, which increase blood, flow to the active muscles and a warm-up increases the body and muscle temperature, which helps to increase the rate of energy production. Contraction and reflex times are improved with higher muscle temperatures, however, exercising without warm-up places a potentially dangerous stress on the heart. Warming up reduces the stress on the heart during intense physical exercise and soft tissue injuries are less likely with proper warm-up. There is also a psychological benefit from proper warm-up.

As the cold weather slowly sets in, we need to find ways in keeping our bodies warm, just so we can have real holiday fun instead of being stuck at home in layers and layers of pajamas. There are probably hundreds of ways so stay warm in winter without rendering us immobile. But among the more popular ones is having a tall mug of booze. But does alcohol really help keep our bodies warm. BODY I. Alcohol Makes You Feel Warm A A Obviously, alcohol does make us feel warm all over. After just a couple of nips, we always feel that gratifying flow of heat from our throats, creeping down to our esophagus, and finally to our awaiting tummies. Being a vasodilator, alcohol makes our peripheral blood vessels to dilate, pushing warm blood towards the surface of our skin, giving us an immediate relief from the cold, making us warm and even relaxed all at once. The heat flush we experience after a swig or two definitely make us feel warm because it is the skin that most of our “heat sensors” are located. The amount of blood supplied into the capillaries on the skin also increases in volume, making our skin glow pinkish and even sweaty under our coats. * II.

And you wouldn’t be alone because I was asking the same thing, to call me skeptical would be an understatement. Yet somehow director Jonathan Levine who had previously done great work with 50/50 managed to really surprise me by delivering a unique, funny and strange film that really is very good. Adapted from a novel Warm Bodies never becomes a flat out comedy or a flat out horror movie instead it is a nice blend of both, with yes romance as well. It shouldn’t work, but it does. The story is simple, charming and very well done. Leads Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer aid in making this story a success their performances are very realistic even in a crazy setting like a zombie take over. Up until now 2013 hasn’t offered any new movies that are worth mentioning really, but Warm Bodies...

Cold Blooded Animals Research Paper

...Do you ever wonder how animals adapt to different environment? Whether to keep warm in the cold, or keep cool in the scorching temperature. Well vertebrates, mammals, and birds are master at maintaining homeostasis. They are warm-blooded animals generating their own body heat. This has enabled many mammals and birds to occupy much of the Earth today. Different animals can either be warm-blooded or cold-blooded. Birds and mammals are warm blooded while the rest of the animal kingdom is cold-blooded. Mammal’s body temperature ranges to 97 °F to 103 °F; bird’s body temperature averages to 105 °F. Cold-blooded animals however cannot maintain a constant body temperature. If it is 50 °F outside then their body temperature will drop to 50 °F. That will keep happening whenever the temperatures outside changes, so making the animal as well change their body temperature. Generating energy is the upmost important for warm-blooded animals to have a constant temperature. Mammals and birds need to consume more food and energy rather than cold-blooded animals. They heat they lose is proportional to their surface area of their body, so they can produce...

Mogul Skiing

...Introduction Mogul skiing is a fairly new sport that emerged as part of freestyle skiing back in the 1960’s and 70’s (Appelbe, 2010). Moguls are the bumps that are formed when skiers push down the snow as they ski downhill. The formation of moguls happens naturally with time on a frequently used slope. This unstable terrain was challenging to many and soon became a course to run on the slopes. In 1966, the first freestyle event took place in Attitash, New Hampshire but was not yet recognized as a sport. Later, however, the Canadian Freestyles Skiers Association was formed and mogul skiing was recognized by The International Ski Federation. Freestyle skiing was originally broken up into three distinct disciplines which were aerials, ski cross, and moguls. Moguls and aerials became Olympic sports in the early 1990’s, and ski cross became an Olympic sport for the first time at the 2010 Games (Appelbe, 2010). The mogul skiing event is a downhill event where the goal of the skier is to finish the run as fast as possible while maintaining control through a very unstable terrain filled with moguls and they also need to execute tricks and turns to impress the judges. The moguls measure approximately four feet tall and are approximately 3.5 meters apart, the slope also has two small jumps known as “kickers” due to the steep take off. Each mogul slope whether natural or man-made is different so the terrain is never exactly the same. There are several competition events for mogul...

He also teaches Jazz-Funk at the Dance Complex in Cambridge, MA and is the artistic director and choreographer of his own dance company. When observing the beginning of Robert’s Jazz 1 class, I noticed he likes to start his dance classes with a slow warm-up. His slow warm-up involved movements of the head and loosening of the neck. He then moved into shoulder and arm rotations before lying down onto the floor. When on the floor, he put a lot of emphasis on the lower abs with crunches and great emphasis on the legs and inner thighs with stretches. After the slow warm-up, he had the class go into a really fast warm-up that involved a lot of aerobics for the body. The movements in his fast warm-up put strong emphasis on leg and arm work with the rhythm of the music. The fast warm-up to the rhythm of the music created a fun environment for the whole class. After the warm-up, the class including myself, felt ready and energized for the choreography. The choreography in Robert’s Jazz 1 class is challenging, but comfortable for any dancer level. When a student struggled with a certain move, he allowed for the entire choreography to finished first, and then gave positive criticism to the student who needed to work on his/her mistakes.

Ems and Hypothermia

...Background Hypothermia (hi-po-THUR-me-uh) is a medical emergency that occurs when your body loses heat faster than it can produce heat, causing a dangerously low body temperature. The term “hypo” refers to less, and “thermia” refers to temperature. Normally, the core body temperature is 98.6 degrees F. Hypothermia occurs as your body temperature passes below 95 F (35 C). When your body temperature drops, your heart, nervous system and other organs cannot work correctly. Left untreated, hypothermia can eventually lead to severe heart and respiratory failure, and in some cases, death. Hypothermia is most often caused by long term exposure to cold weather or or and unexpected immersion into in the face of a cold stressor. Hypothermia, though, is not always the result of exposure to extremely cold outdoor temperatures. History Hypothermia has been applied therapeutically since antiquity. The Greek physician Hippocrates, the namesake of the Hippocratic Oath and arguably the world’s first modern doctor, advocated the packing of wounded soldiers in snow and ice.[3] Napoleonic surgeon, Baron Dominque Larrey recorded that officers who were kept closer to the fire survived less often than the minimally pampered infantrymen using snow and ice.[3] In modern times the first medical article concerning hypothermia was published in 1945.[3] This article focused on the effects of hypothermia on patients suffering from severe head injury. In the 1950s hypothermia established its first medical...

Comparison

...Luxury Body Wash will stimulate your senses. The feel and smell will be luxurious and extraordinary. The analogy is Cashmere Luxury Body Wash compared to being wrapped in a silky soft pashmina surrounded by the blend of white orchid milk and warm vanilla essence. Incidentally, ‘pashmina’ is said to be the finest cashmere wool. It would be difficult to say that this is a strong comparison. Cashmere wool, vanilla and orchid milk are a tough sell when compared to body wash. On the other hand, the comparison does provoke a strong desire to actually be wrapped in pashmina while inhaling the warm essence of vanilla and orchid milk, white orchid milk nonetheless. The smooth supple feel of the body wash could be compared to the feel of cashmere. Textures are easily compared so I could imagine the feeling on the skin may be similar. Fragrances too can be duplicated and used in perfumes, shampoos, and body washes. A direct and believable association can be made there. Vanilla is a somewhat familiar fragrance as it is used in cooking as well. Orchid milk however, is another story. I suppose orchids are popular and may be a recognizable smell. Orchid milk though perhaps not so recognizable. I think perhaps the figure of speech could relate more specifically to cashmere as opposed to pashmina. Cashmere is more recognizable when referring to fine wool. Perhaps the reference to orchid milk is to compare the smooth soft feel as well. However, the ‘blend’ of orchid milk and warm vanilla...
