Confucius movie trailer
Confucius was born with the name of Kong Zi (Chow Yun-Fat) in the royal dynasty led by Lu. Kong is not only a teacher but also the adviser to General Ji (Chen Jian Bin), despite the political end as well which makes this great philosopher and chose to leave the kingdom traveled from town to town.
Kong got married Qi Quan (Zhang Kai Li) and both are blessed with two children: Kong Rao (Chen Rui) and Kong Li (Qiao Zhen Yu). At first life seemed settled Kong but when General Ji Kong saw the vision as a threat for the continuity of the kingdom of Lu, Kong and then decided to leave the kingdom and traveled to pursue science that he learned.
Along the way, Kong faces many challenges. Many people who could not accept the view of life and rejection Kong has always been part of a long journey Kong. In this way also met Lao Zi Kong (Jiao Huang) and learned a lot from this philosopher. Kong then devoted the last nine years to develop understanding and Confusianism time to write a book called Five Classic.
Hu is said director may indeed not a new one based drama about historical facts. Earlier this director has often made a similar TV movie, so working on Confucius's life story is not something surprising. At the same time, this step is a little trick Hu May because the fact is also mentioned losing Confucius's life story really is not much of a dramatic story that means will be difficult to bring this story to the big screen.
There's not much risk of a dramatic side in making the film was a bore, and in fact that's exactly what happened. Can not be denied if the teachings of Confucius are interesting but that's not enough to make an interesting film. Perhaps it was also the reason why May Hu chose Chow Yun-Fat as the main actor. To boost the popularity of this film.
Not much was left over from the film. Supporters acting is hardly riveting as the scenes role that should be something amazing also failed to gain that impression. Obviously just because in the minds of the audience is still glued to the memory of 2012 and AVATAR movie is certainly more powerful than the scene in this movie role. Worse yet, the dialogue feels drawn not bite and immediately after the movie ends none of dialogue could be something worth remembering

ALICE IN WONDERLAND
Not feel the time has rolled by quickly. Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is now 19 years old and forget all the adventures he had experienced as a child. Alice will not remember if it was not coming adventure back to him just as he was at a party.
Alice, who was in a party suddenly realized that he would be spoken in front of the visitors party at the time. Felt unprepared to face it, Alice was trying to avoid. While trying to escape this is Alice meets the White Rabbit (Michael Sheen) who led her into the hole that was headed to the Wonderland.
After the death of Alice ten years earlier, there was a coup. Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) had taken over from the White Queen (Anne Hathaway). All the inhabitants of Wonderland can only wait for the right time while preparing to take back the power of this evil Queen.
Back to see Cheshire Cat (Stephen Fry), Tweedledee and Tweedledum (Matt Lucas), March Hare (Noah Taylor), Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) and Caterpillar (Alan Rickman), the memory of the past Alice returned. Alice now become the foundation for all the inhabitants of Wonderland, who has long lived in the pressure.
Alice's adventures in Wonderland is not a new story. Lewis Carroll had written this story in 1865 and after over a hundred years, this story still to be one interesting story. Actually, truth be told, the story of Alice in Wonderland is not purely a story for children. The story written by Lewis Carroll was too 'bleak' for the size of a small child. Many metaphors are not going to understand a child and that seems to want to communicate Tim Burton this time.
The first step is to make a play version of this classic tale and make it more acceptable to the present generation. Figure Alice made more mature and is no longer the children as in the original story. After the team would choose quality actors like Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, and Helena Bonham Carter complete with special effects experts and the production is equally andalnya. After all settled, then Tim Burton freely express his interpretation of Wonderland or here called Underland.
The result is not gloomy films before, but Tim Burton is able to visualize the world of Wonderland, who had been there in the mind of Lewis Carroll. Depp, as usual did not experience any problems with the characters 'odd' sort of Mad Hatter, but this time it seems that stole the attention it is Helena Bonham Carter who played as the Red Queen.

UP IN THE AIR

Lay off employees is not an easy task. There is an emotional element that sometimes make this process even more complicated than it should. At a time like this, needed an expert who really knows how to handle emotions and that was Ryan Bingham (George Clooney).
All his life, Ryan had never had anybody. He deliberately break away from the emotional relationship with anyone and that's what makes Ryan's success as an expert on employee reductions. Without the emotional attachment to anyone or anything, Ryan's goal in life is only one, reaching 10 million miles with the same flight so that he gets the exclusive card of the airline he used.
Ryan practical life is from one hotel to another hotel. Various places he had visited and aircraft, make it, not unlike a car for most people. Create most people, Ryan was the man who has no emotions but actually think that's not quite true. Ryan had only emotion he's a very powerful control his emotions.
Everything went well until Ryan had to 'guard' Natalie Keener (Anna Kendrick), a new employee where Ryan works. Very different backgrounds to make this relationship feels very awkward at first but over time, Ryan learned to see life from the view of ordinary people and this makes a balance that has been so shaky he maintained. The emergence of Alex Goran characters (Vera Farmiga) added more complex life of the original Ryan very simple.
There are some interesting things from this film. The first, the film dared to escape from the standard Hollywood movie that has always ended happily. Jason Reitman daring escape from the formula with the risk of viewers will be disappointed. In fact Jason was processed was disappointing because most of the audience is not at all disappointed with the end of this sad little.
The second is a simple story line almost without subplots. The only subplots that there was a family story that Ryan can not be removed from the main story line. The good, the storyline is simple Jason could make a surprise ending and completely unexpected.
The third course is the acting ability of three major players and chemistry between the three of them. Vera Farmiga as the woman appeared solid businessman who almost without emotion, just like the roles performed by George Clooney. Anna Kendrick also appears satisfactory as a naive young woman while Clooney himself seemed not to be questioned again. As usual this actor appeared stable with cool style, smile, and the timing is right when saying the dialogue. The result, a good movie to watch as entertainment though his ending is hardly happy
