The second trailer for the upcoming film, The Red Riding Hood, has been released. It is interesting to note that the film is being produced by Leonardo DiCaprio. Starring Amanda Seyfried, Shiloh Fernandez, Max Irons, Julie Christie and Gary Oldman, I'm convinced it won't bring the "traditional" story we used to hear from our parents as little kids, right? :) Looking forward for this one too!
Synopsis: A Gothic imagining of the classic fairy tale in which a young woman is confronted by a werewolf, this time with a teenage love triangle at its center.

Synopsis: Doug MacRay is an unrepentant criminal, the de facto leader of a group of ruthless bank robbers who pride themselves in stealing what they want and getting out clean. With no real attachments, Doug never has to fear losing anyone close to him. But that all changed on the gang's latest job, when they briefly took a hostage--bank manager, Claire Keesey. Though they let her go unharmed, Claire is nervously aware that the robbers know her name and where she lives. But she lets her guard down when she meets an unassuming and rather charming man named Doug not realizing that he is the same man who only days earlier had terrorized her. The instant attraction between them gradually turns into a passionate romance that threatens to take them both down a dangerous, and potentially deadly, path.
Starring: Ben Affleck, Rebecca Hall, Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner, Blake Lively, Titus Welliver, Pete Postlethwaite, Chris Cooper
Directed by: Ben Affleck
U.S. Rating: R
The Town, the second film directed by Ben Affleck, brings an intense and very interesting plot to its viewers. Ben Affleck didn't just do a pretty good job directing the film, but an amazing job as the lead role. With a strong plot and a first class cast, the film deserved all the good critics and comments received from its opening night.
Ben Affleck looked really mature and confident on his double role (director and actor), being considered one of his best performance to date.
The film is about Doug MacRay (Affleck), Jem Coughlin (Renner), Gloansy Magloan (Slaine), and Dez Elden (Burke), from the dangerous streets of Charlestown, a neighborhood in Boston Massachusetts. When this group robs a local bank, they decided to take Claire Keesey (Hall), the branch manager as a hostage, and released her few minutes later in a local beach. Doug and his team kept her drivers license and threatened her to not talk to the FBI. Doug decides to keep an eye on Claire but suddenly, he falls for her and they begin a new relationship that obviously will put all their entire criminal operation in jeopardy.
The FBI gets closer to Doug and his team and finds out that Doug and his crew work for Fergie Colm (Postlethwaite), a dangerous criminal that works as a local florist. When Doug tries to walk out of a last job offer from Fergie, he's threatened by Fergie, putting in danger Claire's life. Doug also finds that his mom didn't leave him when he was a kid, as he was always told by his dad, but commited suicide after Fergie supplied her with drugs. The plan was simple, break into the Femway Stadium the morning after one of the important night games and steal over 3.5 millions of sales.
Doug and the team is sold to the FBI by Krista Coughlin (Lively), a junkie that is in loved with Doug. Dressed like cops, Doug and Jem steal the money and they're ready to escape from the stadium dressed as paramedics. They notice that the stadium is already surrounded by the FBI, police and Swat. Gloansy and Dez are killed, Doug and Jem dress back as police officers and evade the FBI. Detective Adam Frawley (Hamm) recognizes Jem and tries to stop him. Jez resists the situation and he's killed, while Doug escapes in a police car.
Doug knowing the risk of this failed operation, stops at the florist and kills Fergie and his assistant, keep Claire safe and get revenge of his mother's death.
Doug plans to leave Boston forever and move south, to Florida. He calls Claire one last time and evades one last time the FBI, who was working with Claire to get capture him.
I did really enjoy the film. It had an amazing directing job and a superb cast performance, especially Ben's perfomance. I personally believe that Ben Affleck is so, but so much better actor when he's behind the cameras as a director. I highly recommend the film.
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

Inspired by true events, here's the new film, There Be Dragons. A new drama starring Charlie Cox, Wes Bentley, Dougray Scott and Geraldine Chaplin. The content on this trailer looks pretty amazing, so it will definitely be part of my "must-see" movie list for this year.
Synopsis: Tells the story of London-based investigative journalist Robert Torres, who visits Spain to research a book about Josemaría Escrivá, the controversial founder of Opus Dei. But Robert hits a wall, both professionally and personally, when his most promising source-his own father, Manolo Torres, turns out to be his least cooperative one. Robert begins to unearth his father's toxic secrets when he learns that Manolo was not only born in the same Spanish town as JosemarÃa, but that they were childhood friends and attended the same seminary. The two men take radically different paths in life, with JosemarÃa dedicating his life to his faith while Manolo is swept into the brutal and tumultuous Spanish Civil War. Manolo descends into a dangerous and jealous obsession when the beautiful Hungarian revolutionary Ildiko doesn't return his affections and instead gives herself to the courageous military leader, Oriol. As Robert continues to unearth the secrets of JosemarÃa's life and Manolo's mysterious anger, their overlapping journeys are revealed with the truths and sorrows of their past choices, which compels Manolo to confront his own secret with one last opportunity of forgiveness.

Synopsis: When Kenny is arrested for murder and sentenced to life in 1983, his sister Betty Anne, a Massachusetts wife and mother of two, dedicates her life to overturning the murder conviction. Convinced that her brother is innocent, Betty Anne puts herself through high school, college and, finally, law school in an 18 year quest to free Kenny. With the help of best friend Abra Rice, Betty Anne pores through suspicious evidence mounted by small town cop Nancy Taylor, meticulously retracing the steps that led to Kenny's arrest. Belief in her brother - and her quest for the truth - pushes Betty Anne and her team to uncover the facts and utilize DNA evidence with the hope of exonerating Kenny.
Starring: Hilary Swank, Sam Rockwell, Minnie Driver, Melissa Leo, Ari Graynor
Directed by: Tony Goldwyn
U.S. Rating: R
Conviction is one of those great films to watch. Sadly, it seems that it didn't do as good as it should, maybe it was just considered as a low profile film. Based in a true story, the film offered a predictable, but pretty strong plot, along with an amazing cast. All cast involved in this film played their roles brilliantly. Hilary Swank played her heart in her role as Betty Anne Waters, as she always does in every single one of her films. Sam Rockwell, Minnie Driver, Peter Gallagher, Melissa Meo and Juliette Lewis played such amazing roles in this film.
The film is based on the true story of Betty Anne Waters and her brother Kenny Waters. Betty Anne and Kenny were really close to each other since little kids. Kenny used to break into other people's houses and just relax playing with her sister in beds, or stealing candy from the local shop. These little things always put him in trouble with the local police, since they always got caught. When they grew up, Kenny kept getting in trouble with the police, but always for minor things. By the time, Betty Anne was married with two kids and Kenny was also married and had a baby girl. During a funeral, Kenny is taken to jail and accused of murdering Katharina Brow, in Ayer Massachusetts (the murder occurred in 1980).
Kenny was wrongfully convicted in 1983, and since that moment, Betty Anne promised his brother that she would do anything to get him out of jail. She went back to school to earn her GED, then her bachelor's, a master's in education and finally a law degree from Roger Williams University in Rhode Island.
While she was studying, she found information about attornet Barry Scheck, who led a team and project called "Innocence Project". This expert team helped to exonerate wrongfully convicted people through a new introduced forensic technique: DNA tests. She immediately asks for help and starts working with Barry Scheck on her brother's case. All this ambicious goal and dream, her effort studying and getting her degrees and all her fight to get the help and evidence she needed had a huge price in her life. She accomplished this while raising two boys alone and working as a waitress part-time. She lost her marriage and kids, when they went to live with their dad.
Betty Anne located biological evidence and then worked with the Innocence Project, to obtain DNA testing on the evidence—proving Waters' innocence and leading to his exoneration on June 19, 2001.
As said before, it was a very predictable but inspiring film. A woman who did and gave everything she could to get her wrongfully convicted brother out of jail, spent 18 years studying, earning all the degrees she needed, worked on finding all the evidence and tests she needed and finally proved in court his brother's innocence.
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

This next August 2011 Columbia Pictures releases the animated film, The Smurfs. Being a fan of the TV series when I was a kid, I will definitely consider to watch it. Bear in mind that obviously, it will be a KIDS film, since I've already seen some critics and bad reviews about this trailer.
Synopsis: When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the tiny blue Smurfs out of their village, they tumble from their magical world and into ours -- in fact, smack dab in the middle of Central Park. Just three apples high and stuck in the Big Apple, the Smurfs must find a way to get back to their village before Gargamel tracks them down.
