Movie review: ‘Fault’ moving, not mawkish

  
Last summer, “The Spectacular Now” was the teen-trauma film of note, being based on a well-regarded bestseller and starring an up-and-coming Shailine Woodley. 

This year, it's “The Fault in Our Stars,” which shares many attributes with its predecessor including having roots in a popular young-adult novel, screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, and a much-better known Woodley, who moved up to star status with “Divergent” earlier this year. 

Like “Spectacular,” it walks that fine line between moving and mawkish without falling too far over to the latter side. Unlike that earlier film, though, which didn't make a huge splash in the mainstream, “Fault” looks to become the teary alternative to all the boom and bang of the summer superheroes. 

Woodley plays Hazel, the typical outgoing teen-next-door living the middle-class life in suburban Indiana: Except she has cancer, and has to travel with an oxygen tank wherever she goes. One of those places is a youth support group where she meets newcomer Gus (Ansel Elgort, also from “Divergent”), who has lost a leg to his disease. 

They strike up a friendship that quickly escalates into something more as they wrestle with issues of fate and mortality. As with “The Spectacular Now,” it's refreshing to see teenage relationships handled with grace and depth instead of the usual snark and cynicism. Director Josh Boone (“Stuck in Love”) stays out of the way stylistically and lets the considerable naturalistic chemistry between Elgort and Woodley be the draw. 

Their conversations, wavering between youthful bravado and grim determinism, feel authentic as does their budding romance. That's no doubt due in some part to John Green's book on which the film is based. 

Nat Wolff (“Palo Alto,” “Admission”) as mutual friend Isaac, a support-group member who is losing his sight because of cancer, seems at first an awkward attempt at comic relief, but his role deepens as events become more serious. 

That doesn't mean there aren't moments that ring false. Laura Dern, as Hazel's concerned mom, is one-dimensional while Willem Dafoe as Van Houten, an author who has been inspirational to Hazel, is painted in such cartoonish strokes that he seems more like a convenient plot point than a real person. Also, at just over two hours, “Fault” sometimes moves slowly and veers frustratingly close to TV-movie-of-the-week territory. 

Still, that doesn't dim the bright light at the heart of the story. That's really the only special effect that this film requires.

    Microsoft smartwatch to feature Kinect tech?

     
    The Xbox team has reportedly taken over responsibility for developing Microsoft’s smart watch, according to reports. 

    The Kinect team is now back in charge of spearheading development of Microsoft's smart watch.
    Details are scarce but, according to Forbes, the watch will have a focus on fitness, with an array of advanced sensors built into it. 
     
    Quoting an unnamed insider, the report claims that Microsoft’s smart watch will only feature a small display. And, interestingly,  the display will be placed on the inside of the wrist with the intention of making it easier for users to keep notifications to themselves. 
     
    As for how big the display will be, Forbes reports it will be the size of “half a stick of gum”. It’ll also pack in a battery that should hold enough charge to last for two days. 
     
    Another interesting tidbit to emerge from the report is that unlike most of the Android-based smart watches on the market, the Windows smart watch won’t be restricted to one mobile OS. 
     
    Instead, Microsoft reportedly plans to let users connect their iOS, Android and Windows Phone 8 handsets to the smart watch. 
     
    It’s still unclear when Microsoft is intending to launch the smart watch, or exactly how the Xbox team will influence the development but Forbes claims a summer 2014 date is still possible.
