review by User
I'd been thus ready to not like " Escape Arrange " thinking it may be an additional operate of the mill Stallone action movie. I went in along with terribly low expectations, not understanding something of the plot. However surprisingly, this film turned over to be terribly partaking and enjoyable to watch in the end. I won't be putting a detailed synopsis that you can be able to enjoy this movie absolutely also.too.

Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) may be a Houdini of jails, getting the capcapacity to escape even the highest of higher security enclosures. He finds himself locked up inside an unofficial facility whose problematic inmates are meant to " disappear ". In the advanced, higher tech and isolated prison, Breslin's escape skills are place to the final check.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (2013)

|

Animated comedy. Starring the voices of Bill Hader, Anna Faris, Can Forte and James Caan. Directed by Kris Pearn and Cody Cameron. (PG. 95 minutes.)

" Cloudy Having a Probability of Meatballs Two " may be a humorous however unfocused romp, thus unwilling to settle on one theme which hyperactivity medication ought to be handed out along with the 3-D glasses.

The animated sequel starts as a really clever and somewhat sinister deconstruction of Silicon Valley culture, prior to morphing into your light-weight " Jurassic Park " parody, then morphing once more into your rousing " Avatar " -style nature versus devices battle. (The latter incorporates parts of the Battle of Endor, along with monster tacos rather than Ewoks.)

This worry of continuity looks to become a growing trend in animated family films, exactly in which talented filmmakers are given nice levels of freedom, then seemingly use each concept from their brainstorming session for the movie. " Despicable Me Two " had an identical vibe, as did the 2 most recent " Madagascar " films. The finish result feels as a dormitory food fight - such a lot enjoyable in the moment, prior to anyone walks far from the ugly aftermath sensation a bit guilty and questioning who's visiting shut down the mess.

Rush

| Sep 13, 2013

Those who have seen the trailer will know that Rush is the "cinema Formula 1" . The presence of Ron Howard and Chris Hemsworth names above the title may put some bums on seats , but the fact that it is a film about motor racing certainly ostracize some potential viewers .
So stop there. Fever is not a movie about racing speed fans than the Titanic was sailing merchant seamen . Rush is a great shot, edited and directed the film made ​​that transcends the sport of auto racing, as well as the main protagonists themselves made almost forty years ago .
The rivalry between F1 drivers James Hunt ( Hemsworth ) and Niki Lauda ( Daniel Brühl ) is common knowledge. Just a couple of minutes drive of gifts Google tells you how many championships won every driver, how they met, how they trained , how they lived and (almost ) dead ... Fever is not a film that tells his story. Rush is the film that takes you into his world and shows how the story unfolded in all its fast , crazy, wild , dazzling cynical, too , fearless. At the end you may still not want to be an F1 driver or even see a great prize, but sure would like to have been there for at least part of the 70 .

Gravity -2013

On the page, "Gravity" is the very definition of simplicity. Two astronauts are working on a space shuttle when they get a warning that a satellite explosion has now created a field of debris that s moving in an incredibly fast orbit around the planet, and that they are in its path. Before they can do anything about it, the debris smashes into their shuttle, utterly destroying it, stranding the two of them in space. The rest of the insanely-tight 88 minute running time is spent trying to figure out how to survive and, if at all possible, make it back to the surface of Earth.

Oblivion

Tom Cruise back in a show of her acting prowess in science-fiction movies directives Joseph Kosinski, director before making the film TRON: Legacy. Directly adapted from a graphic novel artificial Kosinski, who then discussed again by some other reliable screenwriter, exists a sci-fi movie titled Oblivion. At first glance, this film impressed the result of a combination of several other sci-fi movies ever made like Star Wars, TRON, Independence Day until the The Matrix.
in the early days watching Oblivion, this film was amazing, especially thanks to the special effects used. Really makes us wonder, especially when watched with IMAX technology. But unfortunately, over time, the story began to seem sluggish and linear as well as setting the story feels similar movies sci-fi in general. Luckily, Oblivion was helped thanks to a thrilling scene.

Robocop 2014

| Sep 7, 2013

Remakes, remakes, and remakes. Yes, Hollywood is already a loss to produce an original work. But the remake is not really a problem, as long as quality and have the same essence with the original film without having copied frame by frame. It seems like it is done by Jose Padilha, director RoboCop remake to be aired on February 7, 2014.

Sony and MGM have released a trailer for the latest iteration of the movie RoboCop. And through the trailer, we can see the changes that occur in the bionic human figure. The trailer itself actually looks quite promising and give a new breath to the robot, while still showing the proper respect for the work of Verhoeven. The star, Joel Kinnaman (Snaba Cash, The Killing TV series) looks pretty fit to play Alex Murphy. Good indication? Could be. Although sometimes the trailer can be very deceiving.

The Crazies (2010)

| Mar 10, 2010

Be grateful that Breck Eisner's brain-dead remake of George Romero's "The Crazies" (1973) runs a meager 101 minutes. That means less time robbed from of your life when you could be doing any number of more interesting things, like watching popcorn pop, or counting sheep. Romero's fourth film was his favorite, though it bombed with critics and audiences, mostly due to lousy marketing and the mistaken assumption that it was just another version of "Night of the Living Dead." How sad, then, that the master not only executive-produced but wrote this monumentally dumb, dull remake. Even on the level of killer-virus-gone-wild gore-fest, "The Crazies" as rejiggered by Eisner ("Sahara") is a dud. Primarily what makes it such a stinker is its simplemindedness, the packaging of any idea or location or event or character or shot into something guaranteed not to challenge viewers with complexity. Bereft of talent or vision, Eisner reduces Romero's apocalyptic juggernaut to tinker toy. (Rumored to be planning a remake of David Cronenberg's "The Brood," Eisner should be permanently barred from the director's chair.) Romero opened "The Crazies" with a bang: a farmer, inexplicably become affectless monster, butchers his wife and burns down his home, kids still inside. You're instantly immersed in horror, any sense of ordinary reality totally shattered. The remake opens with a cliché: Main Street ablaze, full of wrecked cars and debris, followed by a cut to bucolic farm country labeled "Two days earlier." This is the equivalent of horror movie advertising, a snapshot of bad stuff to come. It's an announcement, in cinematic baby talk -- the antithesis of a movie reaching out and dragging you into horrific drama. Seems a military plane has crashed near the small town of Ogden Marsh, contaminating the water supply in this pleasant little farming community with a nasty virus that drives people crazy and causes bleeding from various orifices. First sign of something gone terribly wrong occurs during a baseball game attended by half the town. Suddenly, an expressionless fellow toting a shotgun shambles purposefully out on the field. The sheriff (Timothy Olyphant of "A Perfect Getaway" and HBO's "Deadwood") tries to talk down the guy (apparently drunk, really the first of the crazies) but is forced to shoot him dead. You'd expect such a weird, unexpected invasion of everyday reality to raise a few goose bumps, but the scene plays out perfunctorily with no authentic shock, just the jaded recognition of a familiar horror-movie trope. Everything in Romero's low-budget original was raw, a visceral assault. The Pennsylvania setting felt authentic: woods, fields, farmhouses and back roads places you might glimpse on the breaking news. The remake lacks a genuine sense of place or geography, so the intrusion of fatal virus and faceless soldiers doesn't have up-close-and-personal impact. Romero filled his rural evenings with the reassuring sounds of crickets and tree frogs, further heightening the horror of the "ghosts" (men in white bio-hazard suits) who begin to haunt the night. Eisner resorts, with metronomic regularity, to "scary" music, with blasts of sound to cue you that something is about to make you jump. If it works once, keep doing it. What does it mean to be crazy in this cautionary tale about biological warfare? In Romero's version, the impulses and fears that civilized life requires us to suppress can no longer be censored, so what his "crazies" act out delivers a psychological punch. An overly protective father commits incest with his daughter; the hero's best friend can contain neither his sexual jealousy nor his envy of his Vietnam buddy's military success. In the remake the complexity of relationships and repression gets pretty literal-minded: rabid hunters take to stalking human beings; the sheriff's deputy refuses to take orders. Consider the appalling and moving death of an infected girl in the original film. Like some flower child she dances within a ring of soldiers, inviting them to play with her. Freaked out by her crazy innocence, they open fire. The remake substitutes the mechanical execution of a mother and her son at disengaging distance. Their ensuing incineration seems less an outrage than an opportunity for a prurient close-up of charred remains. That's typical. By means of a series of separate set-pieces (in funeral home, nursery, truck stop), the new "Crazies" racks up body count and buckets of blood, hoping to emulate the real shock of a town-killing movie like "30 Days of Night." Shockingly prescient about bio-terrorism, "The Crazies" No. 1 delivered a nuanced reading of the careless impotence of science and the military alike, which still rings true in light of Hurricane Katrina and our adventures overseas. Romero's downbeat ending wasn't popular, but it courageously kept faith with the tone of his film, chronicling the probable demise of civilization. Climaxing with a big bang, the new version mostly aims for easy, black-and-white targets: soldiers are mostly masked killers; and aerial surveillance screens, clicking from close-up to god's-eye views, suggest the presence of Big Brother watching from the air as well as listening in on tapped phone lines. But Eisner fails to invest these "villains" with real power. They don't inspire paranoia or hatred or terror; they're just straw men (and screens) existing only to advance the plot, not to lend weight and significance to what happens to the hapless citizens of Ogden Marsh, or any other "infected" community.

Avatar

A paraplegic ex-marine finds a new life on the distant planet of Pandora, only to find himself battling humankind alongside the planet's indigenous Na'vi race in this ambitious digital 3D sci-fi epic from Academy Award-winning Titanic director James Cameron. The film, which marks Cameron's first dramatic feature since 1997's Titanic, follows Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a war veteran who gets called to the depths of space to pick up the job of his slain twin brother for the scientific arm of a megacorporation looking to mine the planet of Pandora for a valued ore. Unfortunately the biggest deposit of the prized substance lies underneath the home of the Na'vi, a ten-foot-tall, blue-skinned native tribe who have been at war with the security arm of the company, lead by Col. Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang). Because of the planet's hostile atmosphere, humans have genetically grown half-alien/half-human bodies which they can jack their consciousnesses into and explore the world in. Since Jake's brother already had an incredibly expensive Avatar grown for him, he's able to connect with it using the same DNA code and experience first-hand the joys of Pandora while giving the scientific team, led by Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver) and Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore), some well-needed protection against the planet's more hostile forces. On a chance meeting after getting separated from his team, Jake's Avatar is rescued by Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), a Na'vi princess, who brings him into her tribe in order to give the humans a second chance at relating to this new environment. When word gets out of his increasing time with the alien species, Quaritch enlists Jake to do some reconnaissance for the company, as they'd like to persuade the tribe to move their home before taking more drastic measures to harness the treasure hidden below. Yet as Jake becomes one with the tribe and begins to understand the secrets of Pandora, his conscience is torn between his new adopted world and the wheelchair-bound one awaiting him when the psychic connection to his Avatar is broken. Soon battle lines are drawn and Jake needs to decide which side he will fight on when the time comes. The film was shot on the proprietary FUSION digital 3D cameras developed by Cameron in collaboration with Vince Pace, and offers a groundbreaking mix of live-action dramatic performances and computer-generated effects. The revolutionary motion-capture system created for the film allows the facial expressions of actors to be captured as a virtual camera system enables them to see what their computer-generated counterparts will be seeing in the film, and Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning Weta Digital visual-effects house supervises Avatar's complex special effects. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide Released : Dec 18, 2009 Distributor:20th Century Fox Starring :Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Wes Studi ...more read more...

Robin Hood

Oscar® winner Russell Crowe stars as the legendary figure known by generations as “Robin Hood,” whose exploits have endured in popular mythology and ignited the imagination of those who share his spirit of adventure and righteousness. In 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders confront corruption in a local village and lead an uprising against the crown that will forever alter the balance of world power. And whether thief or hero, one man from humble beginnings will become an eternal symbol of freedom for his people. The Robin Hood adventure chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richard’s army against the French. Upon Richard’s death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from the corruption of a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion (Oscar® winner Cate Blanchett), a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest. Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marion and salvage the village, Robin assembles a gang whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life. Together, they begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct injustices under the sheriff. With their country weakened from decades of war, embattled from the ineffective rule of the new king and vulnerable to insurgencies from within and threats from afar, Robin and his men heed a call to ever greater adventure.
