Generous, civic-minded adults from diverse backgrounds tell life stories with very similar and telling features, studies find; so likewise do people who have overcome mental distress through psychotherapy. YouTube routines notwithstanding, most people do not begin to see themselves in the midst of a tale with a beginning, middle and eventual end until they are teenagers. In analyzing the texts, the researchers found strong correlations between the content of people’s current lives and the stories they tell. The pride of college graduation is spoiled when a friend makes a cutting remark. The wedding party was wonderful until the best man collapsed from drink.

With the decline of manufacturing and few formal jobs, many residents make a meager living off one another’s misery. He makes about $2 a day, and cannot afford to send his sons to school. For all I know, there may be an endless supply of “Shrek” sequels in the pipeline. Unless the Shrek team wants to follow its hero into the dangerous swamps of mid-life, thus shifting his literary pedigree away from William Steig and in the direction of John Updike or Philip Roth, it may want to leave him in a condition of more-or-less happily ever after.

If ever a movie had a case of the blues and the blahs, it’s “Spider-Man 3,” the third and what feels like the end of Sam Raimi’s big-screen comic-book adaptations. As it happens, the over-all shape does recall a Busby Berkeley musical — snappy story, lavish number, snappy story, lavish number — but without the snap or fun. But although Ice Cube's business sense is right on the money, the minor surprises of the first film are gone. The cinematographer, Sean Kirby, has done some striking work here. Characters don’t just walk in this film; they float across the frame, pouring like liquid toward their inexorable destinies.

In this comedy, a cop assumes a new identity in his valiant battle against crime: an elderly grandmother. That DreamWorks ogre’s skin is the color of money after all.

But then again, so did my kids.) Success may not have spoiled Mr. A movie featuring Ice Cube bellowing "No more profanity. The director Robinson Devor apparently would like viewers who watch his heavily reconstructed documentary, “Zoo,” to see it as a story of ineluctable desire and human dignity. The prowling camera and dusky colors give much of “Zoo,” which opens with the portentous image of what appear to be miners emerging from a tunnel, a sumptuous, almost velvety look and vibe, an effect enhanced by the repeated use of slow-motion photography. Venture capitalist: that’s the misleading job description preferred by the title character of the slight and silly “Wendell Baker Story.” Wendell (Luke Wilson), a cheerful Texan slacker, runs a profitable operation on the Tex-Mex border selling fake driver’s licenses to illegal migrant workers. A Panglossian eternal teenager at heart, he is madly in love with his girlfriend, Doreen (Eva Mendes).

She, however, is running out of patience with his protracted adolescence. The appeal of “The Wendell Baker Story” depends on how charming you find the Wilson brothers, with their chipmunk grins and hip smart-aleck attitude. But if you like Lyle Lovett songs, Thomas McGuane novels and sardonic country yarns sung by grizzled Texan “outlaws,” you’ll have no trouble slipping into its easygoing groove, fortified by its country-rock soundtrack.

The attractive stranger at the airport bar hears one version, the parole officer another, and the P.T.A. And a burst of new findings are now helping them make the case.People tend to remember facts more accurately if they encounter them in a story rather than in a list, studies find; and they rate legal arguments as more convincing when built into narrative tales rather than on legal precedent. “This meaning-making capability — to talk about growth, to explain what something says about who I am — develops across adolescence.” Those with mood problems have many good memories, but these scenes are usually tainted by some dark detail. They flunked sixth grade but met a wonderful counselor and made honor roll in seventh. Often, too, they say they felt singled out from very early in life — protected, even as others nearby suffered.

Yet the research so far suggests that people’s life stories are neither rigid nor wildly variable, but rather change gradually over time, in close tandem with meaningful life events. They characterized their difficulty as if it were an outside enemy, often giving it a name (the black dog, the walk of shame). To them, therapy was part of a continuing adaptation, not a decisive battle. kommazone nosmime-archive888lists.ietf.orgmo They tested levels of conscious and unconscious hostility after the recollections, using both standard questionnaires and students’ essays.

The investigators found that the third-person scenes were significantly less upsetting, compared with bad memories recalled in the first person. But it should prompt frank discussion about nutrition. You cannot create and nourish a robust baby merely on foods from plants. The fact remains, though, that humans prefer animal proteins and fats to cereals and tubers, because they contain all the essential amino acids needed for life in the right ratio. This is not true of plant proteins, which are inferior in quantity and quality — even soy.

With the decline of manufacturing and few formal jobs, many residents make a meager living off one another’s misery. He said he worries they will end up as poor, illiterate traders like him.

Which is only to say that “Shrek the Third,” directed by Chris Miller and Raman Hui from a script with a half-dozen credited begetters, already feels less like a children’s movie than either of its predecessors. (This may be why I liked it better than the others. A movie featuring Ice Cube bellowing "No more profanity. But although Ice Cube's business sense is right on the money, the minor surprises of the first film are gone. The prowling camera and dusky colors give much of “Zoo,” which opens with the portentous image of what appear to be miners emerging from a tunnel, a sumptuous, almost velvety look and vibe, an effect enhanced by the repeated use of slow-motion photography. Malcolm Turner (Martin Lawrence) is an FBI agent who is a master of disguise and will stop at nothing to get his man. Big Momma's House gained considerable pre-production publicity when Lawrence fell into a coma while jogging in a heat wave before the film's start date; Lawrence claimed that he was trying to lose weight to fit more comfortably into his character's "fat suit."

For my taste, a little goes a long way. Smirks are to be had, but no belly laughs. Moreover, the tone, the lessons, even the facts in a life story can all shift in the changing light of a person’s mood, its major notes turning minor, its depths appearing shallow.

Researchers have found that the human brain has a natural affinity for narrative construction. Over the years, Dr.McAdams and others have interviewed hundreds of men and women, most in their 30s and older.Those with mood problems have many good memories, but these scenes are usually tainted by some dark detail. Often, too, they say they felt singled out from very early in life — protected, even as others nearby suffered. In broad outline, the researchers report, such tales express distinctly American cultural narratives, of emancipation or atonement, of Horatio Alger advancement, of epiphany and second chances. Instead they go to a Koranic school, where they learn the Koran by rote. But there is nonetheless a feeling of finality about “Shrek the Third,” a sense that the tale has at last reached a state of completion.

Will he take over his father-in-law’s business or remain true to his vocation of bellowing and smashing things? Which is only to say that “Shrek the Third,” directed by Chris Miller and Raman Hui from a script with a half-dozen credited begetters, already feels less like a children’s movie than either of its predecessors. (This may be why I liked it better than the others. Raimi as it has Peter Parker, but it seems as if it has zapped his gracious good humor, which was so critical to the first two films.

This film seems to be "All About the Benjamins," to use the title of an Ice Cube action comedy. The director Robinson Devor apparently would like viewers who watch his heavily reconstructed documentary, “Zoo,” to see it as a story of ineluctable desire and human dignity.

The attractive stranger at the airport bar hears one version, the parole officer another, and the P.T.A. By better understanding how life stories are built, this work suggests, people may be able to alter their own narrative, in small ways and perhaps large ones. McAdams, a professor of psychology at Northwestern and author of the 2006 book, “The Redemptive Self.” “Well, we find that these narratives guide behavior in every moment, and frame not only how we see the past but how we see ourselves in the future.” People tend to remember facts more accurately if they encounter them in a story rather than in a list, studies find; and they rate legal arguments as more convincing when built into narrative tales rather than on legal precedent. During a standard life-story interview, people describe phases of their lives as if they were outlining chapters, from the sandlot years through adolescence and middle age. By contrast, so-called generative adults — those who score highly on tests measuring civic-mindedness, and who are likely to be energetic and involved — tend to see many of the events in their life in the reverse order, as linked by themes of redemption. They flunked sixth grade but met a wonderful counselor and made honor roll in seventh.

— they draw on these stories implicitly, whether they know they are working from them or not,” Dr.McAdams said. In a recent study presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology in January, Mr. “The story is one of victorious battle: ‘I ended therapy because I could overcome this on my own,’ ” Mr.Adler said.

Those in the study who scored lower on measures of psychological well-being were more likely to see their moods and behavior problems as a part of their own character, rather than as a villain to be defeated. To them, therapy was part of a continuing adaptation, not a decisive battle.
