THE A-TEAM Movie Review

Army is at the front boundary of the state while in a state of war. These soldiers bravely risked their lives for the safety of the whole nation but unfortunately after the war, not many people who still remember their services. Instead, they struggle must continue longer because after the end of their task, not much you can do this the war machine.

The same fate suffered by four veterans of the Iraq war which finally decided to become a mercenary is. John 'Hannibal' Smith (Liam Neeson), Templeton 'Faceman' Peck's (Bradley Cooper), BA 'Bad Attitude' Baracus (Quinton Jackson), and HM 'Howling Mad' Murdock (Sharlto Copley) is a former American soldier accused of a crime which they never did.

Realize that people who trap them can not just defeated, four soldiers were daring escape from prison and trying to clear their good names for the run. As a fugitive, they obviously could not work the normal way and the only remaining option to be called mercenaries and their group, The A-Team.

THE BOX Movie Review


Who would not want to be rich? Some chose the right way to acquire wealth while not rare to justify all sorts of ways just to be rich. Norma (Cameron Diaz) and Arthur Lewis (James Marsden) also want to be rich. The problem is how much they desire to be rich?

Norma and Arthur was not a rich man. With the income they barely get both tried to fend them an only child and it's not light work. One time, the couple was getting a box made of wood. In the box there is a button and this button has a double function.

The next morning, a man named Arlington Steward (Frank Langella) appeared and told Norma and Arthur to the box. When the button is pressed on the box so that pressing the button will become rich. He will get as much money as U.S. $ 1 million in a flash. Consequently, at the same time there will be others who will die because of that key.

Norma and Arthur had only 24 hours because after that the box was no longer theirs. Now she and Arthur must have the moral dilemma between being rich, but causing others to die or continue to be poor.

Ice story of this film recalls the short films of Alfred Hitchcock who play on national television channels a few years ago. The main characters are faced with a dilemma and when the character is one to make a choice then the consequences would be fatal. Usually human nature such as envy and greed is the key to the downfall of the main character is, much like Shakespeare's tragic tale.

There's nothing wrong with this idea. Proof TWILIGHT ZONE series is also still a lot of fans even though almost all the story departs from the same idea. THE BOX actual fact this is the adaptation of one of the TWILIGHT ZONE episode titled BUTTON, BUTTON.

Apparently, it's where lies the failure of director Richard Kelly. Ideas that are too short can not be properly translated into a 116-minute length movies this. Finally, what seemed an attempt to create a longer duration so that tails boredom and confusion. There was a point in time, he seemed reluctant to give an explanation of a scene so that the spectators who had waited climax of this movie was even more confused again.

Many scenes that did not have a strong bond with the basic idea of this story myself, so even if the scene was eliminated then this film will not lose the flow. Maybe if THE BOX was made into short films. With so maybe this movie even more interesting.

The Union realizes that they have technology that can bring big profits and therefore they enact ways of payment are binding. In addition to the installed price is very expensive, the Union did not hesitate to take back what they put an organ if they are late paying customers.

Remy (Jude Law) is one of the repo man or employees who are assigned to the Union to take organs from consumers who pay late this. At one point, Remy heart failure and without realizing the Union has changed the heart with an artificial heart Remy and Remy could not refuse when the Union gave out a bill she could pay.

As a professional hunter, Milo was not among the best. Luck almost never pro-Milo. But when he got a job to hunt down and bring back Nicole Hurly (Jennifer Aniston), Milo confident that his luck will change. Milo sure this task would not be too difficult for him. How not, Nicole is the former wife of Milo.

But there's nothing that can be judged from external appearance.

CASE 39 Movie Review


As the officer who handled the adoption issue, Emily Jenkins (Renée Zellweger) is already used to see things that do not know many people. Domestic violence affecting many children are finally living in an orphanage he has always faced. But this case is the 39th number of special cases. Emily never knew how the end of this case.

Case number 39 is concerned a 10-year-old girl named Lilith Sullivan (Jodelle Ferland). Lilith's family was very secretive and mysterious, but that's not what Emily thought to be haunted. He was afraid that something bad happened to the little girl who is innocent. Suspected Emily seemed evident when one night Lilith nearly died at the hands of both parents. Emily thought that Lilith would be sacrificed in a ritual of devil worshipers.

No butter, Emily finally breaking the rules that he set himself, "Do not ever get emotionally involved." Emily Lilith then choose their own care until adoptive parents are willing to adopt Lilith. This decision turned out to be the starting point of terror that would soon face Emily. Lilith is not as innocent as a thought Emily. There's something evil inside of Lilith and it's too late for Emily to get away from Lilith.

Horror genre is always synonymous with the term B movie Movie berbujet aka low. Not many films of this genre that successfully captured the heart of the film critics who sometimes are too fussy. So, seeing big names such as Renee Zellweger, Jodelle Ferland, Bradley Cooper, and Ian McShane played in a horror film like this is somewhat surprising.

Renee's got a horror genre mengakrabi but later he started to go into drama films that are more 'friendly' Oscar. The result, he had won the title of best supporting actress by movie COLD MOUNTAIN. Bradley Cooper was not a bad actor. Although the game in The hangover did not until you get the Oscar, but this movie could say good enough.

Back to the movie Case 39. The formula is offered as a director Christian Alvart actually still 'adhere' standard formula for a horror movie. The basic idea to make people a little girl who should have the characteristics 'not dangerous' to be able to figure a monster who killed other people. Simple. The same pattern was also offered many films, including orphans and other Japanese horror film adaptation.

No one is right for a potion. Unfortunately, it seems Christian Alvart prefer to use tricks 'short surprises' rather than building tension slowly up to the peak. As a result there are only a short surprises that soon disappeared after the scene ends. Fortunately this film is saved by the 'business' four core players. Renee quite convincing as someone who is very concerned at the fate of Lilith as Jodelle was also good to play as a little girl full of mystery.

LEGION Movie Review

The more days of civilization on earth more pathetic. Thriving technology while the noble values of religion began to be forgotten. People no longer see the value of religion as a relevant value. Modern technology have replaced them. God had decided it was time to clean the earth as Noah.

God then commanded his angels to come down to earth and destroy all mankind that the earth can be saved. New life will replace the old life which had experienced the decadence and no longer be saved. Led by Gabriel (Kevin Durand) the angels came down to do their job, but one of the angels who did not agree with God. Michael (Paul Bettany) considers human beings still have hope.

Michael was down to earth, not to the task from God, but to save mankind. The only hope he is if he can save Charlie (Adrianne Palicki). It is said that Charlie was pregnant with a baby who would become the savior for all mankind.

Futile. There are many big names attached as an actor in this film and everything went in vain. Paul Bettany, Tyrese Gibson, and Dennis Quaid as no room to show off their skills in acting. Can not blame it because this project itself is not too promising.

Actually the idea of basically not too different from the TERMINATOR though here that is not used as the background of technological progress but rather religious. Indeed there is nothing wrong with recycling existing ideas. During the script done right, director capable of directing while providing enough space for the actors and actresses to exploit their abilities, a simple idea can be a good movie.

The problem here is less tergarap manuscript. Many gaps in the script that makes one wonder whether the story about this logically. Not all films based on logic, but if the script writer can build a 'little logic' in the story itself and maintain its integrity will be acceptable logic Itupun audience. In addition, spoken dialogue that the characters must also felt awkward and strange. And it did not help the script that was already weak.

Looks like Scott Stewart also served as a director can not do much. Besides he himself has not had a lot of experience as a director, the script should he embodied in visual form it is not supported. If you have this, it is also true that Harrison Ford said when commenting that the movies are now much weaker on the manuscript.

TOOTH FAIRY Movie Review


Tooth fairy is a fairy who came to visit the children and give presents instead of the date of their teeth. At least that's what the Western myth there. But in the case of Derek Thompson (Dwayne Johnson) just different. He is the 'tooth fairy' is a very cruel and vicious.

Derek is an ice hockey player who 'sadistic' while in the arena. Several times he made his opponent's teeth fall out and from there he earned the nickname or the tooth fairy tooth fairy. Derek had been living well, well until one day he made the heart of a little boy with sad because he was bluntly told that the 'tooth fairy' tales and it was never really existed.

The little incident was a big tails. Because of this error Derek punished by God to really be the tooth fairy for one week. Because he is now a 'tooth fairy' then she automatically had to wear a ballet dress and carrying a wand as the wings started to grow on his back.

Initially, this punishment is very hard for Derek who is now a 'tooth fairy'. But over time, Derek began to get used to this magical task. And over time, Derek also began to realize that once he had had hope that he has long forgotten.

Dwayne Johnson and Arnold Schwarzenegger can say is two actors who have almost the same career. When Arnold started as a bodybuilding athlete, Dwayne start from free wrestling ring. At the beginning of his career, the two actors are both starring in action movies. Obviously because physically they are better suited to play in this genre. If any difference, Dwayne seemed more charming and quickly turned into a comedy genre that in fact is more reliable to the old.

Until now no less than fifteen films starring the big screen was this California-born actor. Throughout the course of a career in the film world, Dwayne's acting skills honed even begin to call it a reliable actor seems not yet. One of the benefits Dwayne is 'honesty' in the act. Maybe because it was accustomed to acting as a wrestler, the camera is not scary anymore stuff for Dwayne.

In this movie, Dwayne must be met acting with Ashley Judd, Julie Andrews, and Billy Crystal that in fact have more acting ability and Dwayne seemed still quite able to catch up. Actually it was not for Dwayne good acting but quite the contrary. For whatever reason, but Billy Crystal and the other players can not seem to remove their ability to the max.

Story ideas not too prominent while chemistry between Dwayne and Ashley Judd did not seem to wake up. Finally, this movie just so simply filling time with family only. Maybe someday acting Dwayne will be aligned with other actors. Itupun if he did not switch careers into politics like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

FROZEN Movie Review

What other events are most appropriate to spend the winter holidays other than skiing or snowboarding. That's what I had in mind Parker (Emma Bell), Dan (Kevin Zegers), and Lynch (Shawn Ashmore). Unfortunately they did not realize that skiing and snowboarding did have a high enough risk.

When these three young men were climbing to the top of the chairlift ride suddenly they were riding chairlift jammed and they could not contact the operator for assistance. Initially they hoped it was only minor damage and no longer riding chairlift that they will return to normal.

The third expectation of this young man began vanished when they realized that the lights had started off. That means they'll be stuck on top for a long time. More control of their panic when they realize that the resort will be closed until next weekend. Know that no longer can rely on assistance from others, start the three young children plan how to escape from death that threatened them.

THE SPY NEXT DOOR


During served as a CIA spy, Bob Ho (Jackie Chan) often have to deal with tasks that could be practically impossible to complete. Armed with all the lessons that he can for education and ingenuity, Bob was always able to complete its mission well. But Bob did not know if it was the most difficult mission he will actually face after she backed away from the CIA.

Having been fed up with his job, Bob had decided to resign and start a quiet life. Bob wants to build household with Gillian (Amber Valletta), his girlfriend who was his beloved. Gillian was actually really loved Bob, but because he already had three children then the first thing to do to prove that Bob is he worthy of being the stepfather of three children of this Gillian.

One time Gillian had to go out of town and Bob used the opportunity to take the three children Gillian's heart. Bob offered to keep Gillian's third child for Gillian to go. Initially this task alone is hard enough let alone when one of Gillian's son accidentally download files secret Russian spy. In a short time the Russian spies had come to retrieve their own files.

Bob's task now is not only watching Gillian's third child but also to protect these three children from the threat of a Russian spy unforgiving. There was no choice. Bob could only pass it safely when it involves children Gillian meaning he had to dismantle his secret identity as a CIA spy.

In terms of theme, THE SPY NEXT DOOR has similarities with the Vin Diesel movie called The Pacifier. The similarity of themes is not a proper question for the penuangannya not be trapped in the story line of the first film appeared. In this case THE SPY NEXT DOOR could still qualify as a theme that is poured in a different way.

The problem here is actually a matter of directing. Brian Levant seem unable to direct the actors and actresses, so what happened was an act that does not meet the standard. In the case of Jackie Chan and Amber Valleta, chemistry between these two men could not appear. Throughout his career, Jackie was never a romantic look and the director also can not seem to lead geeks actor is to be romantic.

In terms of action, nothing new here. Films before Jackie Chan's fight scenes can be represented in this film, although at a certain point it seems Jackie was getting too old to act the same way again. Fortunately there are still some moments that are quite capable of laughter even at the end of the story occurred no desire to watch this movie again

MESSENGERS 2: THE SCARECROW

John Rollins (Norman Reedus) to despair when his farm was no longer profitable as before. Irrigation system does not work as they should while ravens also started eating corn planted John and hardly anything left for the owner of the garden.

This problem is not the only problems facing John. John's family was almost torn apart because of family financial condition began to deteriorate. John was able to pay its debts to the bank while one of her friends also tried to convince John to sell the farm despite these efforts turned out only to private profit alone.

The fate of John began to turn when he accidentally finds a secret door in his barn. Behind the door there was a mysterious scarecrow who seemed deliberately hidden there. John then use scarecrows to frighten crows that eat the corn in the garden of John. Unfortunately installed along with the scarecrow was, came another mystery surrounding the farm.

If Pang Brothers managed to lift the film The Messengers to the cinema screens in 2007, Martin Barnewitz it can only make a prequel with the status of direct-to DVD aliases directly transferred to DVD format. This means that the Danish director failed to repeat the success achieved Pang Brothers' first time working on Hollywood films.

There are some things that really be the cause of the failure of this Martin. The first is the connection with The Messengers are hardly any. That is, if you're not watching The Messengers, the second part was still able to stand alone.

Second, Martin failed to make something new or at least not too obvious if adopting from a horror movie before. Too many standard elements of a horror movie without thinking of Martin was taken to do with that story line that emerges is unclear why the element was there. Actually the elements to be effective if only placed in its proper place.

Norman Reedus is designated as the main actor was apparently unable to turn the character of John Rollins, who was already flat. Norman was not wrong because it looked when the actor is trying hard enough even if the end result, of course, is still determined by the script and the director. So if you're not too interested in finding out the beginning of the story of The Messengers, starring Kristen Stewart, this one you can not miss

Iron Man 2 Movie Review

Post-fight with Iron Monger, Iron Man's identity is initially kept secret by Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) finally uncovered. The military feels that the technology used to build Tony's armor that he uses when he became Iron Man can be used by the military and urged Tony to reveal the secret of this armor.

Tony who was feeling pessimistic about the business of weapons trying to reject this offer of the military. Unfortunately, not only the military knows the secret identity of Iron Man. The press and the public already knew and this becomes an additional burden for Tony who had never want his secret revealed.

Tony Stark actually have a good reason why he was not willing to share secrets of Iron Man's armor. Tony did not want this secret to fall into the hands of those who intend evil and take advantage of this technology for personal gain. Do not know who to believe, Tony is now only dependent on the help of Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) and James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) only because there are some people who were also after the secret of this armor include Whiplash (Mickey Rourke), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and Justin Hammer
