I don’t know about you, but when I sit down to watch a horror film, I don’t expect to be blown away.
This movie lived up to the expectations in all the important ways.
Curiosity was jump started in the first scene, and the somber, introspective mood of the story line, spiked with horrific scenarios and sickening plot twists.
The final twist was too easily guessed, of course, but it didn’t take away from the finale – a powerfully emotional scene portrayed very convincingly by Dennis Quaid, who brought his usual energy and charisma to the role. nice
If you’re looking for a quality horror flick or suspense thriller, this one is well worth your while!
At home his home, hardened police detective Aidan (Dennis Quaid) has grown increasingly distant from his two young sons Alex (Lou Taylor Pucci) and Sean (Liam James) since the death of his wife.
At his work, he finds himself thrust into an investigation of perverse serial killings rooted in the Biblical prophecy of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The White Horsemen, a master of deception and the unexpected leader hell-bent on conquest.

We at ET-Blog are reviewing the latest Blu-Ray releases, check them at hereÂ
Although more time could have been spent explaining certain things in detail instead of the constant scenes of standing around and pondering the next move.
The visual effects in this film are pretty good. And the acting isn’t too bad either.
Applause for Dakota Fanning and Chris Evans.
Also, the way the movie was shot, there was somehow this sense of realism to the whole thing.
The Division, a shadowy government agency, is genetically transforming citizens into an army of psychic warriors–and brutally disposing of those unwilling to participate.
Nick Gant, a second-generation telekinetic or “mover,†has been in hiding since the Division murdered his father more than a decade earlier.
He has found sanctuary in densely populated Hong Kong–the last safe place on earth for fugitive psychics like him–but only if he can keep his gift a secret.

Who said sequels aren’t any good? “Terminator 2″ is the ultimate sequel, a big bad wolf ready to chomp the head off of anyone who crosses its path.
It’s dark, it’s mean, and it’s one tough movie.
It’s not as bleak as the first film, at least in terms of visuals, but rather has a new kind of bluish-tint that supplies a great backdrop to the ongoing battle between man and machine.
Yeah, he’s “back.” Arnold (like he needs any introduction?) returns as The Terminator, Series T-101, Model T-800, an indestructible cyborg sent from the future to assassinate Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) in the first film.
Well, it’s 1991. New film. New mission.
He has to save the future resistance leader of mankind who will ultimately defeat the machines of the future, John Connor (Edward Furlong), Sarah’s 11-year-old son.
(Though his age has been switched from 11 to 13 and back to 9 over the years, with no help from the third film that takes place in 2003, yet claims he was 13 in 1991 though his age doesn’t match with his age in the third, we’ll just leave it at 11 in this film

Anyone who grew up in the 80’s will list the Goonies as one of their favourite films, or at least look back at it with a misty eye.
It had everthing you could want, thrills, spills, pirates, booty, adventure, freaks and bad guys.
Even the place where they lived was cool.
A big old house in a picturesque bay town.
You didn’t get houses like that where we lived.
Then there were the Goonies themselves who just seemed so cool.
Data’s gadgets and smart mouthed ..erm.. Mouth. awesome!!
A ruthless crime family calling themselves the “Fratellis†have somehow escaped from jail and are now hiding in a town of Astoria, Oregan.
Home of a secret kid society known as “The Gooniesâ€, their leader is Michael “Mikey†Walsh, and they are enjoying their last weekend together as a system of contractors have bought their neighborhood and are considering on transforming it into a golf course.
However Mikey, stumbles upon a mysterious map to a treasure of a famed pirate “One-Eyed†Willie.
Classic scene – I’ll show you a tremor hahaha and the truffle shuffle

This is one heck of a thriller that combines terrific acting from Michael Douglas and Glenn Close with a thought-provoking story.
Douglas’ married Dan Gallagher and Close’s Alex Forrest have a steamy affair while his wife is away – except that Alex decides that it’s not over.
Her Alex is a maniacal nutcase who isn’t above anything to keep Dan for herself, including terrorizing his family and kidnapping his daughter.
There is a larger issue here, though, and one that was discussed when the film was released: Aside from the moral problems of adultery, doesn’t Alex have a point ?
Isn’t she entitled to something besides simply being used for a night or two ?
The tension in this film is constant, although a lot of it seems too easily foreshadowed.
Overall, though, a terrific thriller and a justifiably huge hit.

With a cast of award winning actors, Ron Howard does a good job of directing a story that was easy to follow and even easier to accept.
The Da Vinci code threw so many angles at you in such a short time that a quick bathroom break would leave you a bit confused on return.
This was not the case with Angels and Demons, the plot was straight-forward and the action kept the interest level peaked throughout. nice.
The script is filled with amazing details about the centuries-old conflict between the church and the Illuminati which Hanks uncovers as he breathlessly races between various landmarks in Rome, always a step behind the sinister assassin.
The cast consists almost entirely of European actors, including Ewan McGregor, Stellan Skarsgaard, and Armin Mueller-Stahl, who betray so little emotion that it is impossible to tell who is a part of the conspiracy until long after the explosive climax.

A lighthearted humor and father-daughter relationship-mending drama, it’s not overly preachy even though at times it’s sickly sweet.
Eddie Murphy’s – likable Evan is a man who wanted kids but probably shouldn’t have had one, especially considering his relatable lack of time and subsequent failure to connect with his daughter.
Learning to be a better parent through success and defeat with initial manipulation followed by quality bonding, the process is understandably generic – the blueprints for this family flick aren’t original but definitely more watchable than similar exploits.
In the family comedy “Imagine That,†Eddie Murphy stars as a successful financial executive who has more time for his blackberry than his seven-year-old daughter (Yara Shahidi).
When he has a crisis of confidence and his career starts going down the drain, however, he finds the solution to all his problems in his daughter’s imaginary world.

Short on actual plot, expecting more of a character driven movie and early on it appears to go in that direction.
The rest is all action, car crashes and shoot-outs take place, the car crashes coming within a sloppy scene where the police travel by motorcade to deliver the money and the shoot-out starting from a rat crawling up a guy’s leg of all things.
Both feature no important characters and situations that are manipulated.
The finale comes before you know it, a chase through the streets of NY that’s more exciting because it makes more sense… , and Tony Scott, despite using clichés like counting down the clock and going into slow-motion, keeps the movie gritty and fast-paced. – super!
Denzel Washington stars as New York City subway dispatcher Walter Garber, whose ordinary day is thrown into chaos by an audacious crime: the hijacking of a subway train.
John Travolta stars as Ryder, the criminal mastermind who, as leader of a highly-armed gang of four, threatens to execute the train’s passengers unless a large ransom is paid within one hour.
As the tension mounts beneath his feet, Garber employs his vast knowledge of the subway system in a battle to outwit Ryder and save the hostages.
but there’s one riddle …. magic
Although the entire film looks like it needed a lot less green screened effects, there is still plenty of obvious effort put into the creatures that show up during the film.
The showpiece of a Tyrannosaurus Rex is incredibly detailed, and downright terrifying in some instances.
It is not the game changer like the T-Rex in Jurassic Park was sixteen years ago, but it still looks relatively magnificent.
The makeup effects to bring the ape/human hybrids and Sleestaks to life are just as good, if not better.
There’s plenty of reviews that are disappointing but judge for yourself!
Will Ferrell stars as has-been scientist Dr. Rick Marshall, sucked into one and spat back through time.
Now, Marshall has no weapons, few skills and questionable smarts to survive in an alternate universe full of marauding dinosaurs and fantastic creatures from beyond our world–a place of spectacular sights and super-scaled comedy known as the Land of the Lost.
Sucked alongside him for the adventure are crack-smart research assistant Holly (Anna Friel) and a redneck survivalist (Danny McBride) named Will.
Chased by T. rex and stalked by painfully slow reptiles known as Sleestaks, Marshall, Will and Holly must rely on their only ally; a primate called Chaka (Jorma Taccone) to navigate out of the hybrid dimension.
