Bringing online gaming to the next level

Gamer is set in a futuristic world where online gaming has evolved.Where a player can control real live humans doing battles in a real world environment.The movie smells a bit like Death Race only with guns and not cars

A Very Twilight Sequel

For all you Twilight fanatics,the teaser trailer for its sequel debuted at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards.It may be short but I know for you its worth it.

Hurt Locker No. 1

The film has not yet been released internationally but i had the privilege of seeing it.It's a great film and maybe the first film to show a real event that has happened and is happening in Iraq. Check out the trailer above.

Angels and Demons

The film is a much better representation than its predecessor.Angels and Demons portrayed a true suspenseful film with history as its backbone.Director Ron Howard brought a good balance between the book and Hollywood magic.What I like about the film is its 24 style time line.It all happens in a day.The movie is full of surprises(For those who haven't read the book) action and effects.The only downside in the effects department is you can clearly or somewhat see the Sistine Chapel location is clearly computer generated.Tom Hanks still does a good job as Robert Langdon minus the Mohawk hair style.The film is harmless in relation to the Vatican's ban on the film.it can be clearly seen as a man-made story.Howard does a great job in showing the "Vatican" or should I say a studio lot in the US, seem realistic.Another thing i liked about the movie is its score.The score definitely brought another level of life and in some instances fear and suspense to the movie.For fans of the book,don't expect too much since this is an adaptation therefore there may be some changes.For newbies,sit down, and enjoy the mystery of Angels and Demons.I give it a 7.5 out of 10.

Terminator:Salvation

The fourth film in the franchise may as well be the last in the rank in terms of story.Terminator:Salvation has somewhat lost its story-telling ability unlike its predecessors.The movie is like a big budget video game.Yes,its full of action and explosions as expected from a terminator flick but lacks the emotional drama that runs the story of the genre.Bale's John Connor appears more machine than Sam Worthington's Marcus Wright who,in the movie is a machine.Only Moon Bloodgood's character puts human emotion into this robotic film.The movie's plot is just simple.I think they first considered the action sequences than the story.For all you Terminator fans, the story of the war against machines and Skynet's fight to kill John Connor,isn't portrayed well in Salvation.It leaves more questions without the answers.Not even the cameo of the original terminator can help save the storyline.As Arnold once said,"I'll be Back."Please... be back with a story and just a demolition derby movie.I give it a 5 out of 10.

Star Trek

"Space,the final frontier."These are words that are remembered by past generations and will be remembered by future generations to come.Star Trek is definitely a great prequel movie.Director J.J. Abrams has really outdone himself by giving us a great ensemble of talents,great direction,great effects and a great story.Star Trek fans and newbies will love this movie.It has a great blend of excitement,adventure,drama,action and comedy.One of my praise for the film is definitely the cast.They fit perfectly to there original counterparts.I loved seeing Leonard Nemoy as Spock.But what I love most about the movie,being a Trek Fan, is seeing the USS Enterprise take flight on her maiden voyage.Definitely one of the best films of the year.I recommend you see Star Trek.A good thrill-ride for the senses.I give it a 9 out of 10.

X-men Origins:Wolverine

I recently had the opportunity to watch a special screening of Wolverine and all I can say is "It did good."The film did great in telling the origins of one of the Marvel Universe's fatal,flawed and sometimes misunderstood anti-hero but seemed like it was done in a hurry.It is filled with a lot of sub plots that you sometimes get lost in the story.As expected,it is full of action and surprises but the fight scenes weren't what i expected.Filled with special effects and a great ensemble of talented actors.The movie didn't quite exceeded all expectations.A well crafted script and a great direction but there was some conflict between the director and the company that released the film.If you're one of the people who saw the pirated and still unfinished version,you are missing a lot.And you still haven't experience the effects put in the film.A fair movie but it still didn't beat X2 which is the best of the the series.A movie full of adamantium rage and full entertainment experience for some people.

Monsters Vs. Aliens

MvA is definitely for the kids.It showcases great animation with a touch of kiddy humor.The movie is about a group of monsters like the 50 ft woman,the missing link and the blob who must fight an invading alien.For me,the film didn't quite reach my expectations.Sure it was fun but the humor wasn't that lasting.It's full of slapstick comedy of movie monsters but at times the comedy was forgetable.And it felt like the movie was short.You never get the feeling that the movie has gone on for an hour.Yet,it is still a recommended movie.You'll enjoy B.O.B. and Insectosaurus.I give it a 6.5 out of 10.

Transformers roll out!!!

Iron Man 2 is on the move

Iron Man 2 just started shooting.Jon Favreu just released the first photos of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark and Don Cheadle as James Rhodes who replaced Terrence Howard.It's not yet much but for sure,The Favs will definitely bring in more teasers for the fans.The movie is set to have a 2010 release.

New Wild Things Poster

Check out the latest poster from the upcoming film Where the Wild Things Are.


Extra tid-bit:On the weekend of the trailer's release,the movies popularity went up 1840% at imdb.com

Knowing

I just finished watching Knowing moments ago.The movie stars Nicolas Cage and Rose Byrne.The movie is about a 50 year old "Note" filled with numbers which turned out to be dates and coordinates of all major disasters that has happened in the past five decades as well as events that hasn't happened yet.That's where the movie revolves in.Trying to figure out if the numbers were true and where it will happen.Frankly,the title fits the movie.You already know what happens next.The story is full of cliches.Some of the effects aren't that good.Still one could like the movie but it doesn't have that suspense that you'd expect from this type of movie.From the movie's trailer you could easily figure out that aliens are somewhat involved.I can't believe that the guy that brought us I,Robot and the Crow could make this C movie.I give it a 4 out of 10.

A new Dawn Replaces the Ice

Check out the trailer for the third installment to the Ice Age franchise,Ice Age-Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

Valkyrie

I just saw the film.It's about one of the attempted assassination of Hitler.Bryan Singer did a remarkable job.The film is compelling,full of drama and suspence that will have you holding on to your seats in waiting to see what happens next.The movie takes its suspenseful effect once Stauffenberg(Tom Cruise) starts the first moves of the operation.A well crafted script and well suited directorial eyes.

Anyone?

Considered as one of the best of 2 time Academy Award Winner Sir Michael Caine."Is Anybody there?" tells the story about a ten year old boy living in an old people's home run by his parents.While his parents are busy going through everyday challenges and crisis,he roams around the house tape recording the residents and wonders what happens to them when they die.The boy has a lonely existance until a new tenant comes in.An old magician full of spite and has a mysterious past.The film tells the story of this very odd couple.Facing life's challenges,one learning to live and seize the moment while the other tries to face his complicated past.
