Synopsis: With Great East Falls High now just a memory, the kids have grown into adults ready to wreak havoc with a new rite of passage: Jim and Michelle are getting married--in a hurry. Jim's grandmother is sick and wants to see Jim walk down the aisle, so they're going for it in two frantic weeks. Stifler plans to be there (for the bridesmaids!) and, more importantly, to throw the ultimate bachelor party (for the strippers!). Finch is all for the hedonistic rituals, but not for letting Stifler steal the maid of honor, who happens to be Michelle's sexy younger sister, Cadence. But while everybody else sweats and frets, Jim's Dad is cool as ever, dispensing advice that no one wants to hear and getting ready for one of the best days of his life.
Starring: Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, Alyson Hannigan, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Thomas Ian Nicholas

Normally, huge hits like American Pie can't handle a sequel without falling into a boring, nonsense of unfunny content. This is not the case for this funny franchise. American Pie I, II and American Wedding is a perfect example of how to maintain the story and sequels as funny, creative and entertaining as the first one. There are other films that are (supposedly) related with these three original films, some of them even have one or two members of the original cast (for example, Eugene Levy), but they have nothing to do with the original trilogy and their creative funny content.
This film brings some really interesting details to their fans. First of all, American Wedding didn't fall into something boring or unfunny. It has some crazy bizarre content, but at the same time, a original and creative plot that will keep you laughing from one scene to another one.
I remember a while ago when some members of the cast were asked about a future sequel, they commented that there was a big chance for it, possibly about an affair, a baby birth or any other situation that could reunite the team. It's been almost 7 years since American Wedding, but the good thing is that new rumors are flying around the entertainment industry about a new sequel or reboot of this great franchise.
If you enjoy these comedy films and haven't had the chance to watch this one, I totally recommend it. I'm sure you'll have some good laughs.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Definitely, the best of this film is Seann William Scott's role, Stifler. It was hilarious! His change of personality and his dance scene at the gay night club were the best!
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. It's been a long time since they made this film without coming with a new fresh and good sequel or reboot with the original cast
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

20th Century Fox has released the second movie trailer for Oliver Stone's latest film, Wall Street 2, starring Michael Douglas & Shea LaBeouf. This new trailer reveals more details about the plot, totally recommended to watch. As said before, I'll seriously consider to watch this one!
Synopsis: The film is set 23 years after the first film, in June 2008, and Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) has just been released from prison. Despite his initial attempts to warn Wall Street of the forthcoming economic downturn and stock market crash, no one believes him due to his reduced standing in the financial world. Gekko decides to re-focus his attention on rebuilding his relationship with his estranged daughter, Winnie (Carey Mulligan). Due to their time apart, and the fact that Winnie blames Gekko for her brother Rudy’s suicide, she avoids any contact with him. At the same time, the mentor (Frank Langella) of young Wall Street trader Jacob (Shia Labeouf) unexpectedly dies, and Jacob suspects his hedge fund manager of being involved in the death. Jacob, who is Winnie’s fiance, seeks revenge and agrees to Gekko’s offer of help, in return for which Jacob agrees to help Gekko with Winnie.

Synopsis: "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" tells the story of Wolverine's epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe.
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Tim Pocock, Troye Sivan, Tahyna Tozzi
Directed by: Gavin Hood
U.S. Rating: PG-13
Hugh Jackman did a great job on this film. A film with such an unique cast, great CGI effects and amazing action scenes. The best thing of the film is not just watching the plot and events related with Wolverine and his life, but having the chance of watching the film again on Blu Ray. It offered more content and deleted scenes showing how the film relates other prominent mutants in their early years (for example, Storm).
Wolverine could be considered the first film of the X-Men Origins series. We all know Fox and Marvel is already working on Magneto and Dead pool. It will keep a wide open window to these two companies to keep working on this amazing franchise and bring future films about the life of some of the most famous mutants.
I really enjoyed the film. I'm a huge fan of the franchise, even though, I can't consider this particular film at the same level of the previous X-Men films. Yes, it offers amazing effects, great cast, a good story, a good direction, but I think the trilogy brought stronger plots and entertainment to their fans. That's just my personal appreciation. No matter what, I totally recommend it!
What did I like from this movie?
1. Such an amazing cast and visual effects
2. I really enjoyed Hugh Jackman playing this role once again. I support what Stan Lee commented on this matter, that he couldn't see anyone else playing this role after all the previous films
3. I really enjoyed how they left the doors opened to relate this film with the future film of Dead pool
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. It was a pretty good and entertaining film, but compared with the X-Men Trilogy, there's something missing. I don't know if it is related with the direction or content

Columbia Pictures has released the second movie trailer for the upcoming film, The Karate Kid. Starring Jaden Smith (Will Smith's son) and Jackie Chan, the film will be released this Summer 2010. I wasn't totally convinced of this new version after watching the first trailer. Now I an say that it's been sold! I really enjoyed this second movie trailer. I know the film is called "The Karate Kid", but I'd like to know why Jackie Chan says "Kung Fu" like 3 or 4 times on this trailer!
Synopsis: Work pressures cause a single mother moves to China with her young son; in his new home, the boy embraces karate, taught to him by a master of the self-defense form.

Synopsis: Nick Hume is a mild-mannered executive with a perfect life, until one gruesome night he witnesses something that changes him forever. Transformed by grief, Hume eventually comes to the disturbing conclusion that no length is too great when protecting his family.
Starring: Kevin Bacon, Aisha Tyler, Kelly Preston, Stuart Lafferty, John Goodman
Directed by: James Wan
U.S. Rating: R
I like Kevin Bacon. I've watched several of his films and I believe he's done a pretty good job. His role in Death Sentence is not the exception. He played a really good role in this film, but there is a problem, the plot and direction didn't deliver what it takes to make the cast, and especially, Kevin shine as they should.
Death Sentence is a action film about Nick Hume, an executive with a normal life and happy family. His older son is a hockey player and is about to find a good opportunity to move to Canada and play professionally while he studies there. After a night game, Nick and his son stopped at a gas station on their way home. While Nick's son is paying for gas and getting a drink, a gang attacks the little shop at the gas station and one of their members needs to kill someone as part of his initiation ritual to be part of the gang. Nick's son is killed and he witnesses it. He had the chance to tackle the guy who killed his son while the rest of the gang escaped from the site.
When they go to trial to face the trial for the Nick's son assassination, Nick's lawyers give him low expectations of good results and try to convince him to accept the results (3 to 5 years in jail for the responsible). Nick doesn't agree and takes a decision that will change the game and future events in his life. Nick said he couldn't identify the guilty person as the responsible of his son's death, so he was finally released.
Nick decides to take justice in his own hands, due to the bureaucracy and flaws in the law, follows the responsible and stabs him to death. Detective Wallis informs him about the death of this person but she gets suspicious of him, as the responsible of the incident. The gang members discover that he was the responsible and things get really complicated for Nick. Soon, his wife and younger son are shot by the gang members and he was wounded and considered dead by the gang.
At this time, Nick recovers his sense and energies and he's able to evade the police protection at the hospital. He gets the chance to buy some guns and heads towards the place where all the gang members are located. You might know what happens next... he kills all the gang members and seriously injured he gets back to his home where he is finally found by the police and Detective Wallis tells him that his younger son is out of danger and he's getting better at the hospital, but he wouldn't be able to enjoy that.
A violent film with some really good action scenes that will provide a good entertainment time on a relaxing night.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Great cast selected for this film
2. Some really good action scenes, especially the scenes of the chase at the parking lot and the one at the gang's house

Synopsis: A widower embarks on an impromptu road trip to reconnect with each of his grown children only to discover that their lives are far from picture perfect.
Starring: Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell, Lucian Maisel
Directed by: Kirk Jones
U.S. Rating: PG-13
I should start saying that you shouldn't be sold by the trailer. The marketing behind the trailers and clips made it work, since it was sold as a comedy/drama, but the film is 100% drama, emotional and sentimental drama. Everybody's Fine brigs a message of the importance of family relationships through Frank Goode's story. Frank is a widower who is expecting the visit of his grown children for Christmas, but all of them have canceled their visit. Facing the dilemma of being at home alone, Frank avoids his doctor's recommendation of not flying and decides to travel by bus and train throughout the country and visit his children, but they're not expecting him. Soon, Frank will notice that they haven't been truly honest with him and have kept some important things about their lives away from him.
The film is basically shown through Frank's eyes, his experiences, dreams, thoughts, frustrations, disappointments and sadness. A really thoughtful, sad and sentimental film that will touch your fibers, especially when you're away from your parents and relatives. It will make you think about the importance of family bounds, relationships and how important it is , especially for your parents. Totally recommended!
What did I like from this movie?
1. It gathered such an amazing cast
2. Robert De Niro's performance, I really enjoyed it!
3. The message behind the plot
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Nothing, I really enjoyed it. Maybe it will be forgettable

Sony Pictures has released the movie trailer for Woody Harrelson's latest film, Defendor. Defendor is a foreign (Canadian) comedy drama to be released in DVD in few days, after being acquired and distributed by Sony Pictures. The trailer seems pretty funny and Woody Harrelson gives it a unique touch with his crazy weird personality!
Synopsis: Bruined and beaten, arm in a sling, neck in a brace, Arthur Poppington sits in front of court-appointed psychologist Ellen Chum. After making her swear to secrecy, Poppington begins to tell the story of his secret life as "Defendor" - yes, that's an "OR" - spelling is not one of his super powers. By day, Poppington directs traffic around road construction sites, but at night he dons a pair of black tights, a black jersey with a crude "D" duct-taped to his chest, and trawls the streets as his alter ago. As Defendor, Poppington engages in what he believes is a super heroic fight against crime in an attempt to fulfull his unrealized dream of capturing his archrival, Captian Industry - a gun trafficking crime lord who Poppington mistankenly believes is responsible for the death of his mother. Defendor's problems with the law begin with his intervention in a trick gone bad. When coming to the aid of Katerina Debrofkowitz, an underage prostitute, Defendor tangles with her pimp, Chuck Dooney - a crooked undercover cop. By doing so, Defendor bumbles his way into a criminal underwold, and the stage is set for a showdown with Captain Industry.

Synopsis: Thomas Craven is a veteran homicide detective for the Boston Police Department and a single father. When his only child, 24-year-old Emma, is murdered on the steps of his home, everyone assumes that he was the target. But he soon suspects otherwise, and embarks on a mission to find out about his daughter's secret life and her killing. His investigation leads him into a dangerous looking-glass world of corporate cover-ups, government collusion and murder -- and to shadowy government operative Darius Jedburgh who has been sent in to clean up the evidence. Craven's solitary search for answers about his daughter's death transforms into an odyssey of emotional discovery and redemption.
Starring: Mel Gibson, Ray Winstone, Danny Huston, Bojana Novakovic, Shawn Roberts
Directed by: Martin Campbell
U.S. Rating: R
Mel Gibson is back after being away from the big screen for more than 5 years and let me tell you, he's still the good actor we all have enjoyed all these years. He's obviously getting old, his wrinkles can't hide his age anymore, but his talent has been kept intact.
Edge of Darkness brings the story of Detective Thomas Craven, from Boston Police Department. His daughter Emma has decided to visit him and maybe come back home and stay with him. The night they arrive from the train station, Emma starts bleeding and throwing up and they urge to go to the doctor. Right at the moment when Craven and Emma stepped out of the house, an unknown man screams his last name and shots Emma with a shotgun, killing her. Being a detective, Craven takes advantage of his resources and knowledge and works on the case of his daughter's murder aside the formal investigation. He starts putting all the pieces together and with the help of some key people involved with Emma, he will discover that his daughter was working for a secure nuclear site, found some critical information and was trying to find the way to reveal this important information considered highly classified for national security reasons. She was treated as a terrorist and for this reason, was killed, among other people. Craven keeps working on the case until he finds the responsible of the plan, the one who killed his daughter and with the help of a secret agent, kills everyone else related with these murders and case.
Edge of Darkness is the kind of film I DO love and enjoy watching over and over again. The kind of thriller and suspense that will capture your attention and will keep you in your seat throughout all the film without losing the attention to all the details and mystery. As I read in one of the comments and good criticisms made of this film: It is so good that in a time when most of the films released (and to be released) are mainly focused on their great CGI, 3D, monsters and allien contents... we can sit, relax and enjoy what is, essentially, a good old, well act plot and story.
With no doubt, it is one of those films that I will recommend to anyone who loves a good thriller and suspense film. Being directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, Goldeneye, etc), we can't expect less than a good action film.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Great cast for the film. It was not just Mel Gibson's performance, but the rest of the cast (Ray Winstone, Danny Huston, etc)
2. Good and entertaining plot
3. Great direction
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. There were just a couple of details that I really didn't find "real" on this film: The first one, when the girl is killed and Detective Whitehouse arrives to Craven's house and there were akk these people, cops, etc., in the kitchen eating and drinking coffee like it was a social reunion! And the second one, that a simple cop is able to reach to the top of a secure nuclear site organization without facing the standard bureaucracy. Other than that... I totally enjoyed this film!

Synopsis: With stolen top-secret technology, terrorists have created a next-generation Universal Soldier - an elite fighter genetically altered into a programmable killing machine. With this "UniSol" (Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei "The Pit Bull" Arlovski) leading the way, they seize the crippled Chernobyl nuclear reactor, threatening to unleash a lethal radioactive cloud. The only one who can stop them is Luc Deveraux (Jean-Claude Van Damme), a UniSol who's been decommissioned for years. Reactivated and retrained, Deveraux must make a full-out assault on the heavily armed fortress. But inside, he'll discover not one but two of these virtually indestructible warriors. Andrew Scott (Dolph Lundgren), Deveraux's vicious UniSol enemy from the original Universal Soldier, has been secretly reanimated and upgraded. Now, these elite fighters are locked, loaded and programmed to kill; and the fate of millions hinges on this high-action showdown.

There was a time when I was a huge fan of Jean-Claude Van Damme films. Yes, I was! I kinda enjoyed also Dolph Lundgren when he played the Russian boxer in Rocky IV, among other good old action films. I even enjoyed the first Universal Soldier, I really did. Those good times and films are history. I can't believe I would watch these two actors playing again in a sequel of this film eighteen years later!
These two actors, especially Jean Claude, are part of those rare cases of actors or actresses that get worse instead of improving with time. Universal Soldier: Regeneration is a vivid prove of this observation. I remember the first time I wrote about the future release of this film. I said that if there was someone perfect for this film, it was Jean Claude Van-Damme, just because he was the lead role in Universal Soldier more than 15 years ago. All the following sequels and films related with this franchise have been awful, extremely bad. I wasn't expecting this new sequel to be different or better than the previous ones, that's why I'm not impressed that it was released directly on DVD and Blu-Ray.
I had the chance to (hardly) watch the film on DVD and I was impressed of how awful these two - once famous - actors played their roles. It was a boring plot with no chemistry or emotions, nothing new and just a couple of good punches or kicks. That was all.

Synopsis: A "cure" for mutancy threatens to alter the course of history. For the first time, mutants have a choice: retain their uniqueness, though it isolates and alienates them, or give up their powers and become human. The opposing viewpoints of mutant leaders Charles Xavier, who preaches tolerance, and Magneto, who believes in the survival of the fittest, are put to the ultimate test--triggering the war to end all wars.

I've watched the three X-Men films (plus X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and I must say that I am a huge fan of every single film of this successful franchise.
X-Men has brought some of the best and most enjoyable CGI effects to the big screen. I remember back in 2003 when X-Men 2 and Terminator 3 were released. I had so much expectations for both films, since one of my top favorite films of all times was Terminator 2: Judgment Day. I remember when I went to watch X-Men 2 and being in the theater... totally amazed watching the effects, plot and characters involved in this sequel. It was the first time ever that I left the theater without touching the candies and things I bought to eat while I was watching the film. I was so into the film that I didn't even remember I got some sweets to enjoy the film! I left the theater with such huge expectations for Terminator 3, since I knew it had to be terrific to be considered better than X-Men 2 that year, especially on the CGI effects aspect.
If I had to choose which one of these three X-Men films was the best, I'd say that the second one is the best so far. X-Men 3 delivered much more action and a large number of new mutants to the audience than the the two previous films, but the two previous films focused more on the lead characters and their stories.
I really enjoyed the action, the good sense of humor and especially, the amazing CGI effects and great mutant powers shown in this film. I just expect to have the chance to watch a new sequel of this great franchise any time soon. I know that two new films will be released soon (X-Men Origins: Magneto & Deadpool) but, I really want another sequel with all the team, especially knowing that X-Men 3 left some inconclusive details in its story.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The large number of mutants and their unique powers brought to this film
2. The amazing CGI effects
3. All the action involved in this film
4. The inconclusive details on the script that will lead to a future sequel
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I think that we got lost with so many mutants on this sequel. I really enjoy having a few list of new mutants, so we can really enjoy their attributes and unique powers, and not just watch them in a couple of short scenes. This film focused less on the lead characters than the previous two
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

Here's the new movie trailer for the upcoming Swedish film, The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo. Starring Michael Nyqvist, Noomi Rapace, Lena Endre, Peter Haber, Sven-Bertil Taube, this film seems to bring a good and intense suspense to the big screen this next Spring!
Synopsis: Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed, ruthless computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate. When the pair link Harriet’s disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from almost forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vanger’s are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is based on the trilogy of books by Stieg Larsson and has sold over 7 million copies worldwide. Tragically, Larsson did not live to see the phenomenon his work has become as he died suddenly in 2004 soon after delivering the manuscripts to his Swedish publisher.

Click is one of those movies that makes you laugh and have many thought-provoking moments, but you honestly don't know if it is a comedy film with some emotional drama scenes, or a drama film with some funny comedy scenes. For this particular film, I'd divide the film in two. The first half could be considered the funny comedy part, and the second half the drama emotional part.
Click is a film played by such an amazing cast. I should say that some of these talented people were wasted on this film, since they had just derisory roles, for example, Christopher Walken.
I wouldn't consider myself a loyal fan of Adam Sandler's films but, I must say that I've watched almost every single one of his films. He's improved through the years and the good thing is that he has tried to mix drama and romance to most of his latest roles and films. The big success is that he always manages to get a great cast to support his role and I think that's a key part of the success of these films.
Click is nothing more than an enjoyable movie. The plot is not that great but it is entertaining, it delivers some really good laughs and some emotional moments, especially at the end of the film. I really enjoyed that mix.
No matter what, I'd say that if you're looking for an enjoyable film to watch and you coup with Adam Sandler's sense of humor, Click is one of those good options to watch.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I liked the emotional message about the importance of family expressed on this film
2. I really enjoyed the cast selection for this film. Sadly, the director and production could have got more from this amazing cast
3. Kate Beckinsale :) She's my platonic love
4. There were some really good laughable moments on this film
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. As said before, I do believe most of the cast was underused
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Synopsis: The journal of Nick Twisp, an 18-year old high school student, who goes on a quest to lose his virginity after his parent's breakup.
Starring: Michael Cera, Portia Doubleday, Jean Smart, Zach Galifianakis, Erik Knudsen
Directed by: Miguel
U.S. Rating: R
Youth in Revolt brings the story of Nick Twisp, a shy and nice teenager who has no luck with girls, at all. He lives in between two dysfunctional families, his dad with his young bimbo girlfriend, and his mother with his compulsive liar boyfriend. Nick leaves for a week with his mom and Jerry to stay in a cabin. There, he meets Sheeni, a sweet girl who is deeply in loved with France and everything related with its culture. It is love at first sight for Nick, but not for Sheeni. He had to work hard and be a "bad" boy to show her how much he loved her. In that internal fight for being a bolder and more impulsive person, Nick decides to create a supplementary persona named Francois. Francois leads him to get involved in some bizarre and bold situations that will help him to show her what he is capable to do just to get her attention and love, even if his actions put him to jail. He'll face a series of crazy events and meet some weird people that will make the film enjoyable and entertaining.
Personally,I'd consider Youth in Revolt a romantic and dark teen comedy that delivered a few really good and pleasant laughs. If I had to express my thoughts about this film, I'd say that it is a pretty simple, empty and lazy plot, with an amazing cast and a Michael Cera that has finally moved timidly from his comfort zone and has accepted his first role as a bad guy, breaking the image of the nice guy from movies like Superbad or Juno. The plot didn't sell it, but I believe that putting everything together made the difference. I only had a few good laughs, but really good ones. There was something that kept me interested and entertained through the whole film, I don't know what it was, but it definitely made the difference!
What did I like from this movie?
1. I enjoyed the dialogues, there were some hilarious comments and expressions
2. There were a few hilarious situations, especially those ones with Francois. The best one was with the car inside the house (If you haven't watched it yet, you'll think of me when you watch this scene)
3. Michael Cera playing Francois. It was good to finally watch him playing a different role
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The plot was extremely lazy and empty
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Starring: Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt and Hugo Weaving
Directed by: Joe Johnston
U.S. Rating: R
Director Joe Johnston worked on an amazing remake of the classic The Wolfman. He tried to keep the characters, story, period in history and essence offered in this classic from 1941. For this reason, it is not a reboot, sequel or prequel. He didn't try to adapt the story or change the period in history and, everyone agrees that it was the best decision, since it helped to keep the beauty of this film.
I'm honest, I haven't watched this classic from 1941, but I'm so looking forward to watch it! All the comments and information written and offered about this original film express that it is such an amazing horror film.
The Wolfman, for those who haven't watched the original classic from 1941, tells the story of Lawrence Talbot (Benicio Del Toro), a well-known actor from London who was raised in the U.S. by his aunt. When he gets a letter from his brother's fiancee, Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt), letting him know that his brother has been missing for two weeks, he decides to go back to London and find who or what killed his brother.
His search leads him to the gypsies. He tries to find some answers about a horrible attack suffered by a group of men, who were all mutilated. He visits this group and tries to find the relationship or business between his brother and this group of people. While he's trying to find answers, the group is attacked by this fast and deadly mysterious creature. Soon, Lawrence will find himself chasing this creature in the middle of the night, being attacked and injured by this creature.
Lawrence is taken back to his father's house (Anthony Hopkins), who has immediately called the doctor and prepared everything to attend and take care of his son. Gwen takes care of him while he heals in such an accelerated and unusual way. They notice that a sense of attraction is growning in their hearts while he's recovering of these injuries and she takes care of him.
Lawrence starts realizing what happened to him and how it will affect the rest of his life. This information is spread among all the population and he's immediately considered a threat to everyone, but his father protects him from the townsfolk and reveals some secrets kept away from Lawrence and the rest of the world.
The nights before the full moon, Lawrence notices his father walking out to a crypt right next to their home. He decides to follow him and finds some secrets, while his father locks himself in this crypt and leaves Lawrence free. Lawrence soon faces his new reality, when he becomes a furious and dangerous creature who has attacked some people and slaughtered every single animal found on his way. A Scotland Yard inspector arrives to town to investigate the deaths, while all the leads take him to Lawrence and his unnatural healing after being attacked by the beast. He is arrested and placed in a mental institution while the doctors try to get some details about his abnormal physical conditions. His father visits him while he's in prison and reveals him that he's a wolf man too, and he was who killed his mother and brother.
He swears revenge and wants to kill his father. He's taken into a court of scholars and they try to demonstrate that he wouldn't turn into a beast on that night, when the full moon would come out. Lawrence tries to warn them that he would kill them all. As said, when the full moon came out, he transformed into the wolf man, killing everyone and escaped from his imprisonment.
Meanwhile, Gwen meets with Maleva (a Gypsy) where she tries to find a way to lift Lawrence's curse. Both, Lawrence and Gwen revealed their feelings for each other recently and that's her motivation to help and save him from his curse.
Inspector Francis Aberline (Hugo Weaving) follows him and tries to hunt him down, but he escapes. Lawrence arrives at his father's house, who is already waiting for him. Both turn into wolf men and start fighting each other to death. Lawrence kills his father ripping his head off. Gwen runs into the forest, only to be chased down by Lawrence, the Wolfman.
Just as Lawrence is about to attack, she pleads for him to stop, bringing out the slightest of human emotions left in him. But when he hears the nearby mob, he violently panics, losing his restraint. Gwen then shoots Lawrence with a silver bullet and kills him. Before he dies he turns back into a human and spends his last moments with Gwen. The mob arrive and they see Aberline injured, being attacked by the Wolfman just before he's killed. Gwen's parting words are heard as Talbot Manor appears in flames and a wolf's howl is heard, presumably from Aberline.
The Wolfman was an extremely entertaining film, a little bit scary, remaking an amazing plot and the best of all, supported by such a unique and extremely professional cast. Totally recommended!
What did I like from this movie?
1. The sound was more than espectacular! Especially on those scary moments and scenes when the Wolfman attacked his victims
2. The cast was simply amazing
3. Director Joe Johnson made such an amazing work. I'll give even more credits after watching the original film and compare both movies
4. The CGI effects, simply amazing
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I believe that something was missing or not delivered by Director Joe Johnson and Benicio Del Toro. I believe that Lawrence Talbot should have tried to deliver more emotions and drama about his affliction and pain due to his situation and curse. It didn't affect the overall quality. Other than that... it was such an amazing film
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

Synopsis: A tale that follows 'the Guy', who works part-time helping his father run a small, vacuum cleaner repair business, but dreams of one day having his songs recorded and landing a record deal. Emotionally vulnerable, he is still coming to terms with the recent departure of his girlfriend and lacks the conviction and passion to move on in his pedestrian life. One day, he meets 'the Girl', an Eastern European immigrant who has moved to Dublin to start a new life for herself. Currently working as a house cleaner in an upper-class residence, she is struggling financially. She yearns for what she cannot afford--a piano to help her escape from the daily grind of finding her way through this strange new land. A relationship blossoms between 'the Guy' and 'the Girl', as they're both struggling. Their shared love of music causes them to flourish and grow with a new found confidence as they take a chance on each other and a new beginning on life.

Well, the truth about this review is that I never meant to watch this movie,in the first place. We received by post two new Blu-Rays from Netflix. I should mention that we never asked or listed this film in our list of movies, we were surprised when we received it. We decided to watch it anyway, since we were just set in from of the TV and ready to watch something and chill for the night.
Once is an Irish film about a guy who works part-time at a vacuum cleaner repair center and plays his guitar and songs on a busy street at nights, trying to move on and coup with the lost of his girlfriend (she's gone, not dead). His dream is to get a record deal and play his music. He meets a girl who is an Eastern European immigrant who moved to Dublin to start over with her life. They get connected through their music and of course, you might guess the rest of the story.
In other words, the film was all about the communication of two strangers through music and the lyrics of the songs they sang. It was actually annoying! I don't know, maybe it was me (since I'm not into musicals), or the film was so slow and boring that I didn't get it. I was bored out of my mind watching it, and I knew how bad it was because my wife Mary, who is a helpless romantic person, couldn't stand this film either.
I took some time just to read a little bit about the film, since it was the first time I heard (and watched) this film. Most of the reviews, critics and comments expressed the best about it, saying that it was one of the best films of the year (2007), a beautiful romantic film that was able to express its beauty through the music and lyrics sung by the lead roles.
I just say that I totally disagree with these reviews, comments and critics. Anyway, if you feel like watching it, do it! I'm just sharing my personal experience, ideas and impressions about the film. Maybe you could be another person out there who thinks it is actually an amazing and romantic film. In my case, I won't recommend the film.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Nothing
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The girl walking with the broken vacuum everywhere. So annoying and unfunny
2. I didn't know if I was watching a film or a musical. If it was a film, it sucked... if it was a musical, could be considered the worst musical ever
I would rate this movie with a 1/5

The international trailer for Sam Worthington' latest film, Clash of The Titans, has been released. I personally believe that this movie trailer has revealed more material and information from the plot than any of the two previous movie trailers released. It definitely will be one of the great epic films in 2010. I think people will be talking about this film for a while this year.
Synopsis: The ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus is helpless to save his family from Hades, vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.

Lionsgate has released a new international movie trailer for the upcoming film, Kick-Ass. Starring Aaron Johnson, Mark Strong, Xander Berkeley and Christopher Mintz-Plasse alongside Nicolas Cage and Chloe Moretz (Hit-Girl). Definitely one of the most expected action/comedy films this next Spring!
Synopsis: Dave Lizewski, a comic-book fanboy, decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name -- Kick-Ass -- assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There's only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers. His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl and her father, Big Daddy.

Movie Review: The Bourne Trilogy - Identity, Supremacy & Ultimatum

I should start saying that I'm a huge fan of this great action franchise. I've had the chance to watch every single one of these three films many, many times before, but I watched them as individual films. I never had a chance to watch them all together, as just one big single story. So, trying to enjoy that experience, we decided to have a Bourne week. The great thing about having a Bourne week was that it gave us a different perspective of the story about Jason Bourne and all the journey trying to find the truth about his past.
What love the most of Jason Bourne is the ability and sharpness he shows every time he needs to take a decision and make a move. He barely thinks and uses every single resource found on his way. He's highly trained and able to manage almost any situation. That makes the difference in this story. That's exactly what the director Paul Greengrass and all the production team wanted to offer, reinforce those important details in every single action and decision, making him so unpredictable and extremely dangerous.
Another great thing about the trilogy and story is the ability to move the story and characters from one city and country to another in a matter of just hours, giving the fans the opportunity of experiencing how complex can be the life of a government agent working on a secret mission.
The best of all is that we can get more and more involved in the story with every single new sequel and most important, notice the improvement on the scripts, role performances and situations, making the films and franchise more likable.
By the time I'm writing this review, the good news is that there have been some discussions and conversations about a possible sequel... or prequel. The bad news is that the director Paul Greengrass, involved in two films of the Bourne Trilogy has taken a step back and walked away from these first discussions and, Matt Damon has said that he won't play on a new Bourne sequel/prequel if he's not directed by the same director. So, we'll have to wait and see how these discussions and decisions cross the end line. For all those great lovers of this franchise, I hope it brings back to the big screen Matt Damon, the same director and production team, supported on a strong and amazing script.
We'll see. In the mean time, f you haven't had he chance to watch the trilogy, you must take some time and watch it all! You won't regret it. I personally recommend it :)
What did I like from these movies?
1. The direction and production was simply amazing, especially on the third film. As said before, they got better and better in every single film
2. The cast was perfect. Great selection for this trilogy
3. Matt Damon played such an amazing role in these three movies. He was able to "be" Jason Bourne and deliver the story, experience and journey lived trying to find the truth about his past
What did I dislike from these movies?
1. Nothing at all! Well, I just don't like that they're taking too long to bring a new sequel or prequel of this amazing franchise

The Bourne Identity
Synopsis: The spy thriller opens as an amnesiac is rescued at sea by the crew of an Italian fishing boat. Nearly dead, he carries nothing but the bullets in his back and the bank account number embedded in his hip. Although completely without identity or background, he possesses an array of extraordinary talents in fighting, linguistics and self-defense that speak of a dangerous past. In the present he is disoriented and wary as he is propelled into an urgent search to discover who he is and why his life has taken a perilous turn. A Zurich safe deposit box yields an assortment of passports, a hefty load of cash, an automatic weapon and a name--Jason Bourne--with a Paris address. What it means remains a mystery, but Bourne quickly realizes that although he knows no one, there are people who recognize him--and do not wish him well. When he meets Marie Kreutz, a hard-luck German-born wanderer, he makes a desperate pitch--$10,000 for a ride to Paris. Despite her reservations, Marie takes the cash and begins a journey with Bourne that changes her life forever. The trail of Jason Bourne's past snakes from Europe to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where Treadstone, a clandestine operation is based. As Bourne and Marie struggle to stay below the radar in France, all of the stealthy muscle of Treadstone is focused on tracking them and neutralizing Bourne as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The Bourne Supremacy
Synopsis: Two years ago, Jason Bourne thought he had walked away from his past. But now, his past is about to return. Bourne and Marie have maintained their anonymous, underground existence at the cost of permanence. Fueled by splintered nightmares and haunted by the past he cannot remember, Bourne moves Marie from city to city, trying to remain one step ahead of the threat implicit in every unexplained stranger's glance, every "wrong number" phone call--that at any second, without any warning, he might get pulled back into the world he hopes he left behind. When an operative appears in the sleepy village that has been their latest home, Bourne and Marie collapse their lives and head out. His past at the door, their only chance now is to run. But once a line is crossed and the stakes in a new global game of cat-and-mouse are raised, the Jason Bourne created by Treadstone--the covert, now dismantled operation that spawned cold-blooded, professional assassins--returns. Two years ago, Bourne walked away from the deadly world that created him with a promise of retaliation should anyone attempt contact. Now that that world has indeed come calling, Bourne intends to keep his word. They should have left him alone.

The Bourne Ultimatum
Synopsis: All he wanted was to disappear; instead, Jason Bourne is now hunted by the people who made him what he is--legendary assassin. Having lost his memory and the one person he loved, he is undeterred by the barrage of bullets and a new generation of highly-trained killers. Bourne has only one objective: to go back to the beginning and find out who he was. Now, in the new chapter of this espionage series, Bourne will hunt down his past in order to find a future. He must travel from Moscow, Paris and London to Tangier and New York City as he continues his quest to find the real Jason Bourne--all the while trying to outmaneuver the scores of cops, federal officers and Interpol agents with him in their crosshairs.
Starring: Matt Damon, Joan Allen, Julia Stiles, David Strathairn, Paddy Considine

Warner Brothers Studio has released a red band movie trailer for Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan and Seann William Scott's latest film, Cop Out. This action-comedy film is directed by Kevin Smith and promises to bring an action plot loaded with hilarious situations. There are already few critics complaining about this film, since it seems to be too silly for these stars, especially Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan. No matter what these critics say, this film was totally sold since I saw the first trailer. It will be released in just a couple of weeks, so be ready! Definitely a must-see on my list!
Synopsis: Two longtime NYPD partners on the trail of a stolen, rare, mint-condition baseball card find themselves up against a merciless, memorabilia-obsessed gangster. Jimmy (Bruce Willis) is the veteran detective whose missing collectible is his only hope to pay for his daughter’s upcoming wedding, and Paul (Tracy Morgan) is his “partner-against-crime” whose preoccupation with his wife’s alleged infidelity makes it hard for him to keep his eye on the ball.
