Moneyball 2011 review - trailer

Such as cold beer in the tile sky, when he was a player in the line of the day, perfect hot, like a half long, slow and seventh - "Moneyball" satisfied.

Sports defender of the theater is the home of the deeper truths in a modest smile of "Moneyball" is an outer film dry, and value, it is easy to drive and take a little more than talent to be solid entertainment.

After all, can not adapt to a fantasy film about a book of Mr. narrative journalist Michael Lewis, the gold standard script by Steve Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin? I can not go wrong with the personality of the golden boy role is played by Brad Pitt and corny caricature Jonah Hill? What a fool is a major American sports hit "moral victory to come back - all in the sleeping area, and pastoral reminds all Americans and the values ​​of a perfect past?

The answer, of course, a filmmaker who dares, is fattening, good relations with the bone or the technical apparatus of unnecessary melodrama. Fortunately, the "Moneyball" - which was briefly fell into the hands of Steven Soderbergh with another professional - Bennett Miller, who was very intelligent, he has to offer the story of Truman Capote on the big screen in 2005 film "Capote."

Killer Elite 2011 review - trailer

The "Killer Elite" This is a story that cleverly found a way to explain why two teams of former SAS wants to inspire others to kill. Decreased ability to mold, here are Jason Statham and Clive Owen, which is really no reason not to love one another, and participate in a game of death of the international assassin. Robert De Niro plays abducted by the Sheikh of Oman, which are used to calculate that there is no team there is no reason for concern, and that's basically what's at stake is their professionalism has developed.

Incredibly, it must be based on the facts of this story. Based on the author of the novel is supposed Ranulph Fiennes on his experiences in the real world, and even the author of the appearance of their work. I think the basis for a realistic and may be a few degrees of separation from the pure fact of the act, but you never know, and the latest films to show how the "The Debt" organizations spy on events that seem to arise from fiction to participate.

History: De Niro plays Hunter, Danny Mentor (Jason Statham). They were both qualified. Danny was one of those rituals, where men work, and decided to stop the killing and was in need of unity in a remote part of outback Australia. He was living there with the beautiful Anna (Yvonne Elliman), in the strict sense of the word is not particularly important to the plot. Life in the past is still there after the kidnapping of Sheikh oil by Danny Hunter. Sheikh wants revenge on the killers of his son, and he knows that Danny is the best player in the world, and is calculated correctly that you save only for the dear Lord, to bring him back to work.

Movie Review : Puncture 2011 & trailer

What happens to the heroes go to the cinema abroad against the heavyweights, without scruples or moral, is that you do not want to disappoint him a hero. Hole by sister team Adam Mark, and money, which tells the true story that the filmmakers may have been an unreliable prison, insane and irresponsible. The film revolves around a farm in 1990 in Texas, end of story touches on the pharmaceutical industry and the AIDS epidemic, which is important, but the necessary elements for a New Yorker instead of the movie and here the focus is about a rare personality to say the least! A McCain aide.

Ambition is certainly an interesting movie, but without a lot of coverage of the festival, who played only in Tribeca critics and cheerleaders, and can not hole many waves in the independent film at the box office, despite the similarities with other members of the Public Ministry is normal for kiss movie called Erin Brockovich.

Press releases describing the end of White, Mike, Chris Evans may have played a toowell as "the work of a drug addict." Do not know how to note that the definition of "performance". In the first moments of the film, thanks to Mike made a big deal, because it is clearly a time of rejoicing diver induced by drugs. He then studied mentally.

Straw Dogs 2011 review - trailer

This new version of "Straw Dogs" is an adaptation from the point near the Sam Peckinpah movie in 1971. Relocate from England to Mississippi, and change the world of mathematics as a writer, you keep the bear trap in the sink and found a cat, and tells the same story. It is very violent. I found a visceral, disturbing and well made.

James Marsden and Kate Bosworth star in the role originally created by Dustin Hoffman and Susan George is educated and his wife, who comes from a rural area where you can transfer the work to be played alone. There is something unsettling about this interesting man and a woman in a bakery for the residents, and what begins as a subtle competition for land rights (the Darwinian sense) has become a relentless battle for the real murderers. The lesson is that the nerd, the capacity for great violence in the home and women are at risk. At first I did not know.

There is something in me in 40 years since the publication of "Straw Dogs" and the original X rating in Britain was banned from theaters. Four decades of violence hardening of the screen to me, and I'm not susceptible to images of brutality and chaos. If Peckinpah was known for his violence, his masterpiece, considered "The Wild Bunch" (1969) in some circles, unpublished. Greet him, and after drawing the line in "Straw Dogs", which kind of crossed the line with me.

Restless 2011 review - trailer

Overheard in the mad crush to get into this morning’s overcrowded screening of Gus Van Sant’s Restless: Woman A says to Woman B, in French-accented English, “What is your problem?” Woman B says to Woman A: “Your being a bitch is my problem!” Ah, Cannes! Where the weather is warm, the selection of movies is vast, and film journos and critics are ready to kill each other by Day 2.

But it’s all good. The crowd seemed to have simmered down by the time the Restless end credits rolled, and many responded with affectionate applause. I feel warmly toward Restless too: The picture (which opens the festival’s Un Certain Regard sidebar) is so fluttering and tender, so guileless, that you almost can’t believe it was made by an old hand like Van Sant. Then again, maybe you can. Annabel (Mia Wasikowska) and Enoch (Henry Hopper, son of Dennis) play somber teenagers who meet at a memorial service. Enoch is haunted by the death of his parents — he lost them suddenly in an accident. Annabel has her own secret, spilled early on: She’s dying of cancer. They fall in love, quickly and fervently, knowing only doom and sadness await them — and they’ve never even seen Love Story.

Warrior 2011 review - trailer

If the "warrior" was a boxing movie, I'd say these three things: solid drama. Great performance. Classic.

But the film is a mixture of martial arts, and more beast than the sub-type. So my comments are three: the solid drama. Great performance. Ouch. If you have not seen in mixed martial arts or MMA, you will understand the "ouch". There is nothing more painful in the emergence of organized sports today, if you count the presidential election.

"Warrior" by Gavin O'Connor ("Miracle"), directed, and said a lot of his story of rival brothers, sand, sweat and even if not very accurate.

Joel Edgerton plays Brendan, a professor of physics and help veterans of the "cage" for his family, Tom Hardy, Tommy, and younger brother with mental retardation, stubborn, and Nick Nolte in pop music, Paddy, EX - Tommy drunk and moves and goals, as they are, with the son you success. They have none of it. They have each other when a pair of nursing grudges them again to deny the family and the lives of poor Tommy with his dead mother.

Contagion 2011 review - trailer

I saw a bunch of scary movie. But there's nothing like the horror of the sight of plunging his hand into a bowl of nuts at a bar at the airport, and therefore lead to death in the transmission. Here is the fear of shit movie with the medical school on the B virus can cause immediately after the impact of screening a wave of hand washing, which leads to side effects for a refreshing dip in air traffic is long and effect term makes you think you forgot that screwed us all.

With the discovery of new viruses every week (and can spread dramatically in 30 steps from 1000 to 1000 million), which is very good. Made with attention to detail and realistic beset by cold and Steven Soderbergh, the infection begins to cough, and a working mother named Beth (Gwyneth Paltrow). Pitt felt a kind of punk, and return to meet with businessmen in Hong Kong from her husband (Matt Damon) and his young son in Minneapolis. In the House, the house suddenly feels bad, then decays with cramps, fever and cerebral hemorrhage and died. No spoiler, which slows the release: House is the human face to start taking what is a global pandemic. (This is not the last we see Paltrow, or is this an excellent tour, only to return as a significant presence in the memories of the past). The infection spreads his death argument persuasive and treacherous and not home runs early in the epidemiology of such Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization, what they are looking for the source of all the new viral mutation and its antidote. If the current increase of international travel is the ability to feel the world is very small, and the downside is that everyone, everywhere, is just coughing, shaking hands or rub the eye infections in the world.

Like Crazy 2011 review - trailer ( Drake Doremus )

Maybe a break in the relationship between the persecution of inorganic Jacob and Anna. If passionate love for each other in a natural way can be played, should have died, or they can be together forever - at least I know. Instead, the stars "like crazy" to find your life stuck in a loop - you can not forget the magic that connects with the other, but also because he lived life in its absence.

Drake Doremus film follows "the lives of two students who fall in love with an amazing young woman and then taking the twisted obstacles. Anna (Felicity Jones) is a writer aspires to study English abroad in Los Angeles, where he worked with Jacob (Anton Yelchin), who studied to become a furniture designer, and the plan is that Anna and finally returned to the United States, but after I destroyed his planned trip for three months, wonderful, sexy and with Jacob, who did not return to their homes because it can hurt a student visa.

Decision to stay for a longer period of visa is only a few times after the movie - Anna and Jacob did not dare talk about it - but it will not stay forever. This is the kind of stupid decisions, which is now the consequences are visible only to those who do not at this time.

Seven Days in Utopia 2011 review - trailer

Under the title "Seven Days in Utopia" may suggest a trip level of metaphor or irony, but it is literally and seriously as anyone in this drama inspired: Refers to the hero spends a week in the small town of Utopia, Texas. Played by Lucas Black, is a young player of the new Pro Circuit beginning humiliating and receives life-changing advice from the spirit of old farming family - Robert Duvall, lighter version and scientists from various countries who brought to life in decades.

With the Golf Channel commentators and actors involved in such KJ Choi, and the film carries an official confirmation. Based on the book by David L. Cook, "Golf's Sacred Journey," which like "it plays as a "Zen and the Art of the Links," he jokes with the persuasion of the Bible Belt.

Melancholia 2011 review - trailer

After the press conference for the controversial director Lars von Trier at Cannes 2011, which resulted in granting the director persona non grata, which was sadly rare in the severity of what happened and described. In fact, there are still remnants of this situation, but the quality of the movie makes me think that sometimes one can not remember the interview, while many will remember from the movie. For von Trier, the passage in question (and this was not the first), but still talented.

There is a mention that the director has angered environmental advocates, sacrificing an animal on the set of Manderlay? Must be the same thing happens now in pain, because the film is much larger than indicated.

Regardless of all this, to move: The film is a little masterpiece, as is the former managing director at the time of the Antichrist. Although the productions are very different from plain to see some similarities between them. I'm not just a great Charlotte Gainsbourg, and films of the abuse of classic sound and intense, and very well with the sequences in slow motion at first, not to mention the division into chapters - the mark of the film, Lars von Trier.

Toy Story 3 2010 review - trailer

such as animation and Pixar will continue to provide innovative stories and enthusiasm is one of the wonders of modern cinema. As Lee Unkrich, director John Lasseter Pixar veteran, Stanton, Andrew, writer and screenwriter sun Ms. Arndt, Michael, who participated in developing a new plan, and the characters in the story of the beautiful game in this third leg, and perhaps this achievement is more impressive to me.

This episode, at best three, and everything cinema should be: funny, touching, exciting and intelligent. Voice behind Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Light year (Tim Allen) and the rest to play a key role in the development of the characters in what is now by far the best summer movie.

Story touches your heart, as any film in recent history has not. Who would have thought that the film can be plastic toys to speak strongly to people of all ages?

The Debt 2010 review - trailer

Drama buried in secret with the history of fishing is linked to the Nazis, "The Debt" rooted in reality, it is reasonable for spy movies and contemporary, without provoking a tense type. History division between 1966 and 1997, followed, had to ask three Mossad agents, what kind of justice after the crime can not be imagined from the Holocaust.

Helen Mirren as the outstanding features in promotional materials, and the heart of the film suggests a younger version of her character, played by the great progress this year, actress Jessica Chastain ("Tree of Life," "The Help"). Chastain is to stay alive and the terrible events of the film: As a singer, Rachel, is a factor "Surgeon of Birkenau" Vogel, Dieter (by type KZ Joseph Mengele's experiments - the doctors), the East German fertility, as a patient and therefore the studies of many medical men fishing.

It is also clear that they share the secrets of this time: her mission in the conclusion of a decades-old book was published, a former partner of singer David (Ciaran Hinds, who also played on the Israeli spy thriller "Munich") is dead.

Movie Review : Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011)

"Mr. Popper's Penguins", a fun ride a little imagination for many families is much better for your Popper's Penguins. Mr. Popper Jim Carrey not wrong in itself. However, it is ideal for the penguins and flying the heart of the viewer, walking and a complete farce.

There are six of them - the captain, Lovey, Bitey, Nimrod, friendly Stinky - named Snow White dwarfs the privacy of your personality. Despite the elegant appearance, dress, a little amount of damage, such as to induce him orange juice Webbie radiant smile, which is found in almost every corner of life, and Mr. Popper.

Directed by Mark Waters, who early in "Mean Girls" peaked in 2004 and fought more than success, "Mr. Popper." (Home discretion of the couple behind the silly "Hot Tub Time Machine") is slightly smaller than the writers Sean Anders and John Morris and Stern, Jared took the bones of children born to Richard Atwater Florence 1938 classic - for men penguins, and stopped life, the lessons learned - and gives the film a lot of modern problems, and perhaps one or two others.

Mr. Popper's operating base in the country is going in the big city, New York. It is no longer a humble painter, but a superb volley from a dealer in Manhattan real estate. But in his heart, and Mr. Popper trip of self discovery, which contains the film to introduce the concept of building and surroundings, what it takes to change a good father at this difficult time.

Film begins with a flashback to young Tommy quickly adventure travel Popper Rush in amateur and his father in the world (the father is absent, in modern language). The next time we see an executive of a successful, grown children of divorce in the books, and by the end of each week and the emotions aside carefully. But young women in his apartment in Manhattan, it is clear to see that I was alone in the foreground.

Movie Review : The Devil's Double (2011)

Uday Saddam Hussein, the eldest son of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, evil and disturbed, which was given carte blanche to plunder the destruction of unlimited power and money. It was a difficult task, with the weakness of the man who really wants to see such a large number of deaths. He said: "I should have killed you the day you were born.", including Uday Saddam had said,

Lee Tamahori, is based on "The Devil's Double" is based on the experience of Yahya Latif, and how to configure dual Odai. In this paper, and survived assassination attempts, at least ten. A film about an Iraqi soldier forced to work after the attack and threats to his family, a respectable number of contempt of Uday and a good dose of courage to fight to watch.

If there was ever a movie requires the same actor playing two roles, it is only in the movies. Dominic Cooper, a British actor, in the second series of key people has played a double challenge with the power and surprising, and often affects the smooth special effects. And Uday, a sadist, alcohol, cocaine and murderers and rapists. When Latif, within walking Uday hates evil and witnesses at the same time enjoy a lifestyle of luxury, and refuses even daring, and one of her lovers.

Inspired by the story of a mountain, and rises to the occasion Tamahori. It is impossible, the performance of Adi Cooper sees it without thinking of Al Pacino in "Scarface" (1983), but Scarface was compared human. Uday is crazy and functionally, and bodyguards to protect him like crazy for their crimes. Viola and his father started the bride in her wedding, the girls were expelled from school, and their bodies on the streets in Baghdad, the scene is the most shocking in the film (there are a lot of competition), to taste the food in one meal. In the film, do it with a sword. In real life I learned to use the electric knife.

Movie Review : Shark Night 3D (2011)

I tell you now I do not care if a good director David R. Ellis. When we speak of sharks and 3D, is all that matters, and the floating of these criminals to satisfy your hunger.

To speed up the blood and excitement, looking for a girl who was unable to do? Or knowingly, and prey selection, as Spielberg depicts the Great White?

The right to choose the first option. In fact, no other parallel in the script the night, the equivalent of modern 3D 3D Shark (Jaws 3 - D, 1983), in light of Joe Alves adventure and ship the poles.

I know that the film actor Dennis Quaid professional Alves, Pace Armstrong, Lea Thompson, and Louis Gossett Jr. - and this production by David R. It is not difficult to find an ounce of acting talent.

I also know that the Shark 3D, and even with all its errors, and Richard Matheson, writer, can be viewed in 3D on the night shark deserves.

Movie Review : Apollo 18 (2011)

Most people seem to be any horror movie "hand-held". "Blair Witch", "paranormal activity". Most people I know say they hate the AD. "However, I love the hell of M," a something new and innovative, offering new to the market panic, because let's be honest, I see the same damn thing over and over tired I mean, for Christ, seven films "Saw" and five "final destination". And it was not enough, each new edition of the classic. No matter how many people the concept, but I see, I hate all unique.

Unlike other films in the "hand held" horror, I stated before, this film is more about a different style to film your own. Because there is "supposed" pictures back in 1974, one. Very friendly, and the frame rate is too slow and easily damaged from the point of view of others, might be interesting in some respects and so on. But there were some parts of the movie is crazy with the white tops and jumping techniques. But once you pass mark of 30 minutes of the movie, they start the pattern of use, and is not used frequently observed.

But the biggest problem I had with the film's story. As you can see, the "Blair Witch", which gave him at least back to the story of what happened. ...... This of course is that I love. You can go through this technology, if you cover something like ghosts or evil spirits. Even if you do not know anything about it, we have an idea of ​​what the main characters face. But if you're in a strange place, like the moon, and you're dealing with strange creatures, it is necessary to explain a little more if they left the public confused. In this case, I had to scratch very hard. This is mainly because I had no idea why they were there, what they did and what the intentions of governments. It was nothing more than speculation, as I said.

Movie review : Our Idiot Brother - 2011

This film is so nice. His hero is so sweet. Her sisters considered him an idiot. Her sisters are so correct. He is an idiot in that he did not lie or cheat. It does not calculate the chances to get away from things. He trusted people. He always tells the truth. There was not a study showing that human society would collapse if we do not lie?

Ned (Paul Rudd) is a kind of saint. He has a joyful smile, wish you the best and not rancor. He also does not hold good jobs. It reminds me a little 'Harold Skimpole, a character from Dickens, who will never understand how much money has worked, or because it does not matter if you had nothing. When we meet Ned, who sells organic vegetables in the farmer's market, a little 'less than a secondary activity-the-counter herbicides. And when the police in uniform, says he has a bad day, and think that maybe something to sell, she slips a $ 20 bag of his rhubarb. Police in uniform.

After burst, Ned is released from prison early (he became a model prisoner for four consecutive months). He returned to the farm, he worked with his girlfriend (Kathryn Hahn), discovers she has a new boyfriend, and almost apologizes for the guy to turn unexpectedly. Stripped of his house, he begins to rely on the hospitality of his three sisters in their three-way, three pieces of work.

This film would not work without Paul Rudd. It is such a fine line. It must be nice, but not a fool. Sweet but not saccharine. Honest enough to cause problems, but still innocent. He not only does not lie, he never knows when he lied. When the genes were shaken his family tree, all of this kind, those who fell in his pool.
