The Dark Lurking

20 Sep

Something has gone terribly wrong at research station 320, a secret research facility one mile beneath the earth’s surface.

All communications are gone, all means of escape destroyed and an extremely dangerous horde of rapidly mutating ancient flesh eating creatures are consuming everything in their path.

Eight survivors of the outpost, two research subjects, three mercenaries, two research technicians and a medic barricade themselves inside a remote area of the facility with little food, almost no means of defense and little hope of rescue.

Their one possible escape route is through thirteen levels of terror that will lead them to the surface.

One of them is not who they seem to be, but the darkness itself which has taken human form.

500 Days Of Summer

19 Sep

Let’s face it.

We’ve all done our share of “dumping”.

Whether it’s the, “Lets just be friends,” or the all too familiar, “It’s not you, it’s me,” tactic, as long as you’re not on the receiving end it becomes a question of, “How quickly can I get this over with, so I can move on with my life?”

Equally, all of us have experienced what it feels like to “be” dumped and the complex emotions that unexpectedly follow.

If you’re one of the fortunate souls that have managed to escape the throws of relationship hell, you’ll probably fare better with renting the newest addition to the Rambo series. ;)

For the rest of you who’ve at one time or another gotten your hearts ripped out of your chests and stomped into a million pieces only to turn you into unshaven, alcoholic hermits on the brink of starvation…this movie is dedicated to you. :P

After it looks as if she’s left his life for good this time, Tom Hansen reflects back on the just over one year that he knew Summer Finn.

Despite being physically average in almost every respect, Summer had always attracted the attention of men, Tom included.

For Tom, it was love at first sight when she walked into the greeting card company where he worked, she the new administrative assistant.

Soon, Tom knew that Summer was the woman with whom he wanted to spend the rest of his life.

Although Summer did not believe in relationships or boyfriends – in her assertion, real life will always ultimately get in the way – Tom and Summer became more than just friends.

very nice ;) magic

Magic Man

18 Sep

vlcsnap8045842.png

In order to see magic idol Krell Darius perform his world-famous magic act, a beautiful aspiring young-magician, Tatiana, travels from New York to Las Vegas with her closest friends, BFFs, Elena and Vera.

Something of an amateur magician herself, Tatiana is fascinated by Krell Darius, the world-famous magician staying at the hotel where she’s staying.

As the layers of illusion unfold, so too do the dark windows into Tatiana’s past.

The murders of Elena and Vera put a tragic spin on Tatiana’s “vacation,” and despite the hard work on the part of local police detectives Yuri Orloff and Wes Simpson, Tatiana herself finally discovers the link between her mother’s death, her friends’ deaths, and the great Darius himself.

Whiteout

17 Sep

Did we see Kate the leading lady in a tank top!!

P a a l e a s s e!

With temperatures below minus 30-40 degrees, where skin freezes in seconds, don’t think that the audience has forgotten where the story is taking place, even though they’re inside!

Be creative, yes; but also hire technical experts to match the location, so that you don’t ‘dumb-down’ the viewing pleasure and cause us, as we’re watching to laugh at how bad the ‘presentation‘ of the movie really is :P

The most isolated landmass on Earth 90° S. latitude, zero E. longitude, Six million square miles of ice, Six months of darkness, Temperatures at minus-120 degrees, Winds at 100 miles per hour, Nature never intended you to survive here…. ;)

For U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko, things are about to get even more dangerous.

The only law enforcement in this unforgiving territory, she has just been sent to investigate a body on the ice.

Antarctica’s first homicide; a shocking discovery in itself, it will plunge her into an even more bizarre mystery and the revelation of secrets long-buried under the endless ice…secrets that someone believes are still worth killing for.

very cool! ;) magic

Actor Dies at 57

15 Sep

This is a small post out of respect…

Actor Patrick Swayze, who attained heartthrob status in the movies Dirty Dancing and Ghost, died on Monday 14th September after a long battle with pancreatic cancer; he was 57.

The star revealed in March of 2008 that he was suffering from the deadly form of cancer, but continued working on the A&E series The Beast, and remained optimistic in interviews and on the set during his treatment.

Swayze is survived by his wife Lisa Niemi, whom he married in 1975.

Shrink

15 Sep

This is one of those oddball films that despite the fact that it boasts a fine cast, it somehow manages to slip between the cracks (at least in distribution terms).

Shrink concerns a cadre of Los Angelas head cases, searching for some kind of better meaning in life.

Kevin Spacey is Henry Carter, a successful psychologist, who has written a best selling self help book who’s own life is crying out for meaning.

His wife committed suicide the year before, and he seeks solace by medicating himself with Marijuana, and has all but given up on his own patients.

Keke Palmer is Jemma, an angry high school student who is sent to Henry, but opts to hide out in the movies, day after day (she wants to be a film maker,herself).

Mark Webber is Jeremy, Henry’s friend, who is taking an interest in Jemma (but mostly as a friend).

Add the likes of Saffron Burrows who plays Kate, Henry’s neighbor, and oddly enough, Robin Williams as Holdin, one of Henry’s patients, and it all comes together in an uneven, but not unwatchable drama/comedy.

What happens when the people we count on to hold us together…are barely holding it together themselves?

Jonas Pate’s “Shrink” is a striking, fast-paced exposé of the “other” Hollywood, featuring folks living outside their comfort zone and the people who put them there.

Henry Carter (Kevin Spacey) is a psychiatrist with an A-list clientele, including a once-famous actress (Saffron Burrows), an insecure young writer (Mark Webber), and a comically obsessive-compulsive superagent (Dallas Roberts).

super! ;) magic

Sorority Row

14 Sep

This movie has enough frights & thrills to make you jump multiple times, but it’s not just that that makes the movie for us.

What makes this film different from all of the recent mediocre horror films is that it is very much character and dialogue driven.

The characters become as compelling as the plot itself and you actually find yourself starting to care about these characters.

The dialogue shoots back and forth between the characters and further builds up the suspense until the final revelation.

The suspense is very well drawn-out – it doesn’t reveal the killer too early and it doesn’t make you impatient for the end.

The resulting finale is a big bang and not disappointing at all. :P

The acting was also a cut above the rest – we didn’t cringe at the lame screams or badly-acted terrified facial expressions because there weren’t any. :D

This movie doesn’t deserve any awards, because it doesn’t want any.

This film is meant to entertain, and entertain it did.

It’s what most horror films today should be.

This movie has set a standard which all subsequent horror films (especially teen horrors) should follow.

A sorority prank gone wrong leads to a bloody murder spree in this slasher film featuring Rumer Willis, Audrina Patridge, and Carrie Fisher.

It was supposed to be a practical joke, but no one was laughing after a girl in the prime of her life had been accidentally murdered.

Desperate to go on with their lives and avoid taking responsibility for their actions, the surviving sisters and their male accomplice agree to dump the body and never speak of the incident again.

Just after graduation, however, a mysterious killer begins stalking everyone who harbors the bloody secret.

I Can Do Bad All by Myself

13 Sep

Now if are a Perry fan you will love this movie.

Madea catches 3 kids trying to rob her house, then she takes them to stay with their aunt April played by Taraji P Hensen, Taraji proves she can carry a movie.

If it were up to us she would go back to the Academy awards this time she would win. :D

Yes! , Taraji is that good in this movie.

Hope Wilson gives a star making performance as Jenifer.

Gladyce Knight was great in the this movie, Pastor Marvin Winans gives a great performance as the Pastor Adam Rodrigez from CSI Miami is a good leading man here.

Mary J Brige is awesome as Tanya.

Madea and Joe played by Tyler are very funny in this.

Tyler Perry dose an excellent job on this movies this is his best movie.

A hard-living nightclub singer discovers the importance of family with the help of a handsome Mexican immigrant in this inspirational comedy drama from writer/director Tyler Perry.

When pistol-packing granny Madea (Perry) awakens to the sound of her home being ransacked by wayward teen Jennifer (Hope Olaide Wilson) and her two younger brothers, she promptly marches the troubled kids over their aunt April’s house.

But despite being the only relative the kids can turn to, April (Taraji P. Henson) is hardly a role model; a self-destructive songbird with a serious drinking problem, she spends her nights at the club and relies on her married boyfriend Raymond to pay the bills.

Suddenly, into April’s life wanders Sandino (Adam Rodriguez), a hard-luck immigrant in search of some honest work.

Before long, Sandino has moved into April’s basement room, and formed a solid connection with the kids.

You see … the closer April and Sandino grow, the more April begins to recognize the importance of faith and family.

some will like, some will not, enjoy! ;) magic

9

12 Sep

9

The animation was evidently done (or at least supervised) by Starz Animation, and it has a consistent look and feel to it, as original as The Nightmare before Christmas.

Animation can give you all the time and space in the world, but this final drama on Earth is cramped, taking place in about a day in a ruined cityscape within about 2 klicks of the house where 9 first wakes up.

The film had an interesting plot that got a bit more complex in the end; part of the complexity had a spiritual vibe to it… it just seemed almost out of place and like the director was stretching for something that would make the film more “sophisticated.”

We were not disappointed in the movie by any means, it was a visually striking piece of film.

It was action-packed and fun without dumbing down the story or sacrificing it.

If you’re into sci-fi, apocalyptic thrillers, and animation this is for you!. :P

When 9 first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world where all humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction.

Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good.

They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place.

As they’ll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.

enjoy! ;) magic
