"SALT"

I enjoyed the movie immensely. The action sequences were pulse-pounding and Angelina Jolie delivers an excellent performance as Evelyn Salt. In fact, all the acting was spot-on.

Angelina Jolie is a good actress when given the right role. I'm not a fan nor do I find her attractive but I do seem to enjoy her movies. She looks absolutely stunning in this movie.

I just got back from this and I have to say I was entertained throughout the whole movie. The chase scenes were top notch to escape scenes were great. My eyes were glued to the screen even during the short down times (due to Angelina's beauty). The movie has you wondering just what the hell is going on but comes together. A little messy coming together but it does. Jolie displays a little bit of Hitman gun toting action and a little bit of Black Widow ass-kicking.

This movie kicks ass!!! Angelina is great in it, of course. Because thrillers are plot driven, they have a tendency to not hold up for repeat viewings. But combating that would have meant changing the full speed ahead pacing of the movie; and I'm sure they felt they didn't want to slow down this thrill ride. My only real complaint is, as I said, it's not the kind of film built for repeat viewings. I say that because I've already seen it twice. But you will cheer the first time.

“CLASH OF THE TITANS”

The gods of Ancient Greece were immortal.  Endowed with supernatural powers, the breathed the rarefied air of Mount Olympus lived on ambrosia and nectar and was worshipped by the mere mortals who dwelt on the plains below and built temples to their honor.

Love and charity were not necessary part of the lives of these super-beings-they frequently betrayed their god-like attributes.  Benevolent, vengeful contrary and bawdy, they quarreled and fought for power and pursued selfish aims,  In fact, they were almost human.

Persius, son of Zeus, could be considered an immaculate start to any man's life, but not when your father's philandering has upset a fistful of gods as powerful as Hera, Athena, Thetis and Aphrodite.  Persius was to experience the vagaries of the humor and temper of the gods.

CLASH OF THE TITANS tells of Persius' battles to win the hand of beautiful Andromeda.  The gods look down and help or hinder according to their whims, as Persius, aided by Pegasus, the winged horse, and Bubo, an owl of uncommon talent, overcomes the three Stygian witches with one eye between them, a monstrous two-headed wolf/dog, Dioskilos; Medusa of the Gorgon's head; and ultimately the terrifying Kraken, a giant monster raised from its primeval home on the sea-bed to bring destruction.

A popcorn movie that reaches back to the fantasy epics of old and forward into the digital future, where the word "unimaginable" no longer exists. There are plenty of action set pieces to keep audiences happy, including a battle against not one, but three giant scorpions, a battle against the grotesque Calibos, Medusa, and of course the Kraken. The non-CGI(Computer-Generated Imagery) visual effects were great, and I loved the look of the film overall when it came to the characters, costumes, etc. But the CGI was all over the map… Pegasus looked excellent, a seamless blend of CGI wings with a live horse – but then you had Medusa, who looked like she belonged in a medium grade video game. The Kraken however, was epic. Incredibly huge and vast in size and definitely formidable.

“AVATAR”

When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.

In the future, Jake, a paraplegic war veteran, is brought to another planet, Pandora, which is inhabited by the Na'vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. Those from Earth find themselves at odds with each other and the local culture.

 I felt so weepy, because it was beautifully made. I am truly inspired with the special effects. All science fiction movies show the aliens as aggressive and destructive kind ! Avatar portray human as destructive....which seems to be correct. Science fiction always reflects human tendency of being destructive ! I had felt always that there are very gently aliens, who never want to contact humans because this dangerous tendency. Let us be more gentle and caring and the aliens may contact us.

IRON MAN 2

CHARACTERS:

Tony Stark/Iron Man: The billionaire who, after being held captive, escaped with a suit of armor he created and now uses an upgraded version to make the world a better place.

Lt. Colonel James Rhodes:  Cheadle replaces Terrence Howard from the first film.

Ivan Vanco: A physicist and ex-convict who builds his own arc reactor-based weapon to exact vengeance on the Stark family.

Virginia “Pepper” Potts: Stark's closest friend, budding love interest, and business partner as Pepper is promoted to CEO of Starduck Industries.

Justin Hammer: a rival weapons manufacturer.

Nathalie Rushman/ Nathasia Romanoff: She works in the legal department of Stark Industries and is highly qualified, speaking multiple languages including Latin and Russian. An undercover spy for S.H.I.E.L.D. posing as Stark's assistant.

Nick Fury: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

As Tony Stark owns up to being Iron Man before the world press, Anton Vanko lies dying in Russia. Years ago, Anton worked with Tony's father to create a new source of energy. But greed got the best of Anton, and now as he slips away, his son, Ivan, vows to make Tony pay for the sins of his father. Meanwhile, Tony fends off efforts from smarmy Senator Stern and military weapons expert Justin Hammer to divulge the secrets of his powerful Iron Man suit. The powers that be are concerned that Tony's technology may fall into the wrong hands -- fears that are soon confirmed when the cocky billionaire entrepreneur is confronted in front of the entire world by Ivan, who has built his own weapon using stolen Stark blueprints. Later, as Lt. Rhodes wrestles with the decision to personally deliver Tony's suit to the military, Ivan finds an unlikely ally in the quest to destroy Iron Man; Stark Industries legal consultant Natalie Rushman reveals her connection to Nick Fury; and Pepper Potts takes on some new responsibilities.

Iron Man was a fun movie and despite a somewhat heavier storyline, the sequel managed to provide plenty of laughs from all angles – from Rhodes to Hammer to Potts, everyone got a laugh in at least once.
I love RDJ as Tony Stark and could watch him all day, but there is one thing I’d rather watch – Iron Man kicking the shit out of things.  So in my opinion, we need more time in the suit.

The Twilight Saga : Eclipse

WATCH ITS TRAILER

          The third chapter in the Twilight is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob—knowing that her decision has the potential to struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death.

First, “Eclipse” in almost every scene relates to love triangle. Even scenes of the battle still have a connection between love triangles. This is also a kind of slow movie because of too many dramatic scenes which was pretty boring. Even though they had a brutal killing villain, tension wasn’t even there as drama overthrew it on the screen. There were some laughable moments, too, they were just not so funny moments but still can entertain you.

            The action scenes were not satisfying. It was short and a kind of brutal. Speaking of brutal, I say “Eclipse” have the deadliest, most brutal scenes in “The Twilight Saga” movie. The contributing factor to this movie is that it has many flashbacks or memories of the characters that also skip the fighting scenes of it. The flashbacks were too long that it made me sleepy when I watched it. I’m kind of shocked with the vampires in this movie. They look like crystals or something as there were scenes showing hands or heads decapitated and they look like shiny crystals.

Shrek Forever After

                                                               WATCH ITS TRAILER

          After challenging an evil dragon, rescuing a beautiful princess and saving in-laws’ kingdom, what’s an ogre to do? Well, if you’re Shrek, you suddenly wind up a domesticated family man. Instead of scaring villagers away like he used to, a reluctant Shrek now agrees to autograph pitch forks. What’s happened to this ogre’s roar? Longing for the days when he felt like a “real ogre,” Shrek is duped into signing a pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumpelstiltskin. Shrek suddenly finds himself in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumpelstiltskin is king and Shrek and Fiona have never met. Now, it’s up to Shrek to undo all he’s done in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his world and reclaiming his one True Love.

            My question is, “Does ‘Forever After’ live up to the bar set by the previous installments?” I think so, this movie contains a lot of moral to be learned and I’m sure you will be inspired of. The challenging part of the story for me is when the story finds Shrek in an “It’s a Wonderful Life”- style alternate reality in which he was never born, and thus has no friends or family, no enduring connections, and even source of happiness.

            One of the nicest surprises of ‘Forever After’ is the near perfect marriage it achieves between the animation artistry (I like it so much!). In my experience in watching this movie, I would say that “Shrek Forever After” is big-hearted and peppered with juicy throwaway bits: I liked the way the Gingerbread Man had to turn around one of the Three Blind Mice, who was cheering in the wrong direction, or the line by the ogre cook about the need for a chimichanga stand on the battlefield, because everyone’s going to be hungry after waging war. ‘Shrek Forever After’ isn’t essential, but it’s breezy and likable and doesn’t overstay its welcome. 

Alvin and the Chipmunks (The Squeakquel)

          

WATCH ITS TRAILER 

          Pop sensations Alvin, Simon and Theodore end up in the care of Dave Seville’s twenty something nephew Toby. The boys must put aside music superstardom to return to school, and are tasked with saving the schools program by winning the $25,000 prize in the battle of the bands. But the chipmunks unexpectedly meet their match in three female singing chipmunks known as the Chipettes – Brittany, Eleanor and Jeanette.

          This movie hits not only for the children but also for the adults and teenagers. Aside from its moral, it entertains the viewers a lot. Like for me, its special part is that when the Chipettes starts to sing and dance the song of Beyonce Knowles, the “Single Ladies” where it caught my whole attention and as I started to get along, I also sing and follow the beat of the song. They were really cute on that part and it makes me giggle whenever I heard them (the Chipmunks and the Chipettes) singing a song because of their little voices. A not so dramatic part for me is that when Theodore end up alone because of his two brothers eagerly fighting not expected that Theodore was listening to them… haist!






          I really like cartoons, specially this one! I hope that it has a part 3.
