String to Date conversion not working in Javascript

Question

why is this not working, the string in data is typically movement at:2014-12-01T07:53:08

var temp1 = evt.data;
var temp2 = temp1.replace("movement at:", "");
document.getElementById('movementlabel').innerHTML = temp2;
alert(temp2);
var MovementtDate=New Date(temp2);
alert(MovementtDate);

What does "not working" mean? What does it print and what did you expect it to print? Errors in the console? — JJJ, Dec 01 '14 at 08:57

It shouldnt be New. Its new!

var temp1 = "movement at:2014-12-01T07:53:08";
var temp2 = temp1.replace("movement at:", "");
document.getElementById('movementlabel').innerHTML = temp2;
alert(temp2);
var MovementtDate= new Date(temp2);
alert(MovementtDate.getMonth()); // check the month

<p id="movementlabel"></p>
