Director: Jason Friedberg Aaron Seltzer
Stars: Jenn Proske, Matt Lanter, Diedrich Bader (Full Cast)
Studio: Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation

The Plot: A spoof of vampire-themed movies, where teenager Becca finds herself torn between two boys. As she and her friends wrestle with a number of different dramas, everything comes to a head at their prom.

THE BUZZ: I feel like if you’re the type of person who eye-rolls every time you hear the names Bella or Edward, but you wind up shelling out for a spoof comedy from Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer — who share the honor of having three movies in the IMDb Bottom 100 — then the joke is really on you?

Review: Lets be honest..almost every movie-fan that’s watched epic cinematic failures like Meet the Spartans , Epic Movie etc are going to think Vampires Suck should be avoided at all costs.

They couldn’t be more wrong.

YES there are a few gross-out moments in this and YES the inescapable potty- humor moment here and there, but other than that this movie is completely hilarious. I couldn’t help but find myself laughing every 10 minutes and thats a pretty good track record for a modern day movie spoof. I’m not a Twilight fan..and if you’re not either, chances are..you will enjoy this movie. It’s light-hearted, doesn’t attempt to be more than it is and entertains.

The funniest thing about it is that the actors playing in it almost do a better job playing Edward, Bella and Jacob than the original cast do. The movie doesn’t suffer from attempts at poking fun of 10-15 different movies at once and maybe thats why it works this once.

They just focus on just making fun of two movies in the Twilight series and I think they did a pretty damn good job of it. I hate to say..I really do..but I might just go see this movie a second time. It’s honest to god that funny.

Furry Vengeance is a direction of Roger Kumble and the production of Keith Goldberg and Robert Symonds. This is a comedy movie with a lot of entertainment for the youngsters. Brendan Fraser and Brooke Shields are deprived of their integrity as being married. The developers of the housing scheme face unexpected protest from the creatures living in the forest for disturbing their lifestyle

The movie introduces Fraser who is a person that does a lot of work all the time and looks sick and tired. His wife and son do not consider him to be realistic and daring. Whatever he do it goes wrong and he has to face the consequences. This makes his wife and son go away from him. This part is a bit funny when he is trying to do something and instead of the real aim the opposite happens and he seem stupid to all even his family.

The character of Shield is focused. The character of Shield is not so attractive and impressive. The animals that are the inhabitants of the forest show great resistance to the construction in the forest. They unite and gain the passion to destroy anyone who wants to disturb their lives. That is something very beautiful and a good lessons for us the humans. The co-operation and the planning of the animals is very interesting and you get so much involved into it while watching the movie that you even start  thinking of the possible solutions to get rid of the big problem. The animals then prepare their weapons in order to fight their opponents. They prepare themselves with special war skills in order to fight and save their homes.

The role of the animals is so beautiful and amazing. They are so attractive and nice that the people in the movie are not that much noticeable as compared to the animals. The animals catch all the attraction of the viewers in the movie.

In the movie the humans seem to be the evils that are destroying the beauty of nature. They are so careless and do not cares about what could happen because of the damage they are doing to the natural things. They cut the trees so cruelly without thinking about the birds and animals that are dependent on that tress. They just want to gain money and for that sake they are wasting the beautiful things in nature. Being steadfast and resistant the powerless animals accomplish their mission, though they had to face a lot of troubles. The movie is suitable for very young children as it contains very good message for them.

Shrek 1 and 2 were just mega hits that everyone had high hopes for Shrek 3- Shrek forever after. However, this movie was unable to come up to any expectations that every individual had. It neither as magical nor enchanting as the first movie. The beginning started to show disappointing scenes and one just hoped that they would make up for them somewhere in the movie but even that did not happen. Where there were points where you would laugh and enjoy, you had two movies before to compare to it and that is the reason that it was a sheer disappointment.

Even the humor was not as witty as the first movies and is considered a huge step in the wrong direction. The movie starts off with Shrek getting used to his life as a father and him missing the life he lived, despite the fact that he loved his wife and children. So, he agrees to a deal with Rumpelstiltskin for having his old life back for one day. And for this, he gives up a day from his childhood that he does not even remember.

This day turns out to be the one he was born and he ends up being in a scene where he does not know any of his friends and lives in a world rules by the very same Rumpelstiltskin. A good few laughs are added in it and a few scenes can even be called emotional.

The script is where the problem lies because this is the reason the audience had high expectations from Shrek. Even though the movie has its moments but they lie at a far distance from each other which makes it all the worse. The shining armours for this movie are the characters as they bring light into the movie.

Another positive factor about the movie was the effects added to it. This movie is spectacular if you see it in 3-D with your kids. If you plan to go with your teenage friends or adults then be ready to hear rude comments about it because all in all, Shrek Forever After was a disappointment after the first two amazing flicks!

Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). Balthazar can’t do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protégé. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners work to stop the forces of darkness. It’ll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Written by Walt Disney Pictures

Some review:

I saw this movie at the world premiere and I had the pleasure of congratulating Jay and Nicolas on this great Disney achievement. I have always been a big movie goer since a young age and enjoy a broad range of films. As of late Disney has not brought forth any movies I have loved till now, and between Jerry Bruckheimer, Nicolas Cage, Jay Baruchel, and Alfred Molina the movie had great chemistry. The music and the fight scenes have Jerry Bruckheimer splashed all over them (can be compared to Pirates of the Caribbean). As for Nicolas Cage, many people I spoke with before and after the movie didn’t believe he could pull off the roll of a “Sorcerer,” yet his perception of Balthazar Blake as a wise, cunning, determined, witty, heart broken wizard gave the movie such positive energy and strength. Jay was perfect as Dave bringing his classic, nerdy, innocent character, to the table as seen in many of his other films. His character represents Disney’s persona of good, and paired with Cage’s interpretation of Balthazar there is a plethora of hilarity,and anticipation. Alfred Molina playing the apposing force, Maxim Horvath, provided the movie with just the right amount of darkness to cater to the younger and older generations. Through out the movie Molina’s character, Horvath, has a twisted mix of respect and hatred for Cage’s character, Balthazar, and the two of them feed off the energy very well to create a great amount of conflict and excitement. These conflicts help detract from the typical corny air that many Disney movies have, because they usually cater to a younger audience. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice does cater to a younger audience, but also provides enough action, suspense, and humor to cater to those of the older generation, making it a great family movie. So to anyone who is questioning whether or not to see the film I highly recommend it!!! It is a great modern spin of the Disney Fantasia classic with, comedy, action, suspense, and romance, that makes it appreciable to all. Between the awesome cast, Jerry Bruckheimer, and Jon Turteltaub, the movie represents the real meaning behind the magic of Disney.

Anyone who is looking for a light comic action packed film, the A-Team is ready to give it to you. With actions loaded in every other scene, the dialogues are hilarious as well and it entertains you just right. A refreshing movie, it is definitely worth every penny you pay for it.

The new cast consists of Quinton Jackson, Sharlto Copley, Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Patrick Wilson and Jessica Biel. Director and writer Joe Carnahan did a good job with everything that he worked and presented this light action movie to the audience. The movie is packed with action scenes with a confusing trail and the never ending comedy.

The concept of the television series is carried on in the movie with the scenes skipping to a few years ahead and the A-Team is having missions from the army under themselves. The boys have to battle to clear their names as they escape from jail after losing to the villains in the movie.

The negative points of the movie include the extra close shots of the actors and you can’t figure out what the scene is actually about. In addition t this, the special effects are a bit too much to take and the climax is the point where they are at their worst.

If you have seen Joe Carnahan’s movies, you will be prepared to see the character get inter-weaven with the same idea in their mind. It gets confusing in wanting to solve the mystery of who the betrayer actually is but the fun is watching the person be revealed and the general outcome of the movie. However, there are a lot of scenes that seem to be fitted in the last minute to add a little emotion in the movie and its characters.

The movie in general is a good watch with its perfect cast and comedy added in it but the last part of the movie is over exaggerated and a spoiler for many. Even though it was a pure entertainment, you should not expect any emotional attachment with the movie because it offers none and whatever it does offer, it seems to be more on the fake side. A plot has been unsolved and this is most probably the most annoying factor of the movie.

Director: Edgar Wright
Stars: Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kieran Culkin (Full Cast)
Studio: Universal Pictures

The Plot: Layabout musician Scott Pilgrim (Cera) falls for the new girl in town, Ramona Flowers (Winstead), but in order to win her heart, he must defeat her seven evil ex-lovers.

THE BUZZ: Alongside The Expendables, Scott P. easily is one of the most anticipated (and hyped-up) summer movies. Awareness is high and the marketing here has been spot-on; what is unclear is whether the combined powers of Edgar Wright and Michael Cera can defeat the black hole that is the August box office. Even the toughest reviewers are rooting for this one.

Review:

The tagline for this film is “An Epic of Epic Epicness” and I couldn’t agree more. After waiting in line for 3 hours after last night’s Comic-Con and finally being sat in the gorgeous Balboa Theater, I didn’t know what to expect. I loved the comics and the previews looked faithful. The moment the movie starts (literally; the Universal logo and theme are 8-bit) you are thrown into a comic book atmosphere with video game references aplenty.

The plot revolves around Scott Pilgrim needing to defeat the 7 Evil Exes of Ramona Flowers in order to date her and it is a harrowing sequence of battles. Each fight is crazier than the last and some are used purely for comedy, not excitement. Almost every other line is a punchline and they all work. References to TV shows, video games and comics (just like a 20-something’s life would include) are everywhere and if you accept the concept of the plot, it all feels natural.

While the audience might’ve been biased (we held a 10-minute standing ovation for Edgar Wright when the movie finished) there’s no denying that it’s an excellent film. Edgar Wright has an uncanny sense of comic timing with edits and sound cues to make the picture tight and focused when it’s looking for laughs.

I can’t imagine a mainstream theater erupting in applause and laughter like ours did but make no mistake; this a crowd pleaser and the MOST enjoyable film I’ve seen in years. Don’t hesitate to watch this masterpiece in a theater near you.

The Back-up plan is a combination of romance and comedy. It is one of the Jennifer Lopez romantic movies. The image of Jenifer appears to be a lonely woman who keeps waiting for someone. The movie starts with Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) being pregnant walking away from the hospital and meeting her Mr. Right.

Then the film introduces Alex O’Loughlin who is known as Stan in the movie. Stan in the movie is a farmer. He has divorced his wife who was a Swedish woman due to some reasons. He then moved to New York. In New York he worked as a farmer and owned a goat farm and makes his own cheese. He used to go to the farmer’s market in the day time and at night he used to attend the community college.

On the other hand Zoe steals other people’s cabs and before that she used to have a non-specific job in an internet company. Both Zoe and Stan seem really different kind of persons from their actual personalities. There are some of the things that are really irrelevant to the main story and become sometimes irritating. There are most of the things that are weird and unrealistic.

There are certain incidences that make the movie a bit different. Stan and Zoe become closer and pass time with each other. They have sex and Zoe then tells Stan that she is pregnant. They then visit a doctor and some weird things happen there. Then as the movie proceeds they discover many things related to giving birth to a child and bearing all that pain and even the problems after having kids.

The characters in the movie are indifferent. The movie becomes sometimes so weird and irritating that a person disagrees with the things going on. The characters are not stable as they have different personalities from what they are up to. The scenes are also sometimes terrifying. The whole unique sensation has made movie and overall masterpiece. It has been widely welcomed by people from all around the world having many of the excellent people acting roles.

The director Anurag Basu directed his first big budget movie Kites. Rakesh Roshan was not sure about the success of Kites. Although Hrithik Roshan was the leading actor in the movie but still the movie could not do the business it was supposed to do. The songs were not properly shot; the heroine was a new girl who was unknown to everyone. The use of different languages was confusing and irritating as the audience could not understand the dialogues said in a hurry.

The tailors of the movie created an image that it would be a huge success as the scenes and the actions seemed to be good. But the movie itself did not have a good story. Kites contain a nice love story that may be attractive to some of the viewers.  The movie starts with the impression that Hrithik Roshan would be a person who can never fall in love. But then he takes several dangerous steps for the sake of his love.  Both of the lovers were in deep love and the director showed this passion very beautifully.

Anurag displays his story in such a way that his characters look like they are facing those situations in reality and that makes the audience feel the problems faced by the characters in the film and in this way the audience start liking the film. Same is the case with Kites the songs are although not properly shot but they look nice on situations that they match. The hero and the heroine could not even understand each other’s languages but still they had great feelings for each other and they could understand each other. The dance was awesome as Hrithik Roshan danced very well and managed to perform well and according to his character.

The movie was more like a Hollywood movie as the story was not more like the typical Bollywood movies.  The international audience also was interested in watching Kites.  The songs were more emotional and heart touching. I liked the songs as they were polite in tone and the lyrics were very beautiful. The film was not a bad one but as compared to the budget that was spend on the movie. Hrithik gave his best to the movie through his acting and dancing, the girl was although new but she also acted well.

The movie “A nightmare on Elm Street’ released in 1984 was directed by the superb director Michael Bay who has been the director of a number of superb films like Pearl Harbor and Transformers.

This movie is the remake of the 1984’s “a nightmare on Elm Street”. The film doesn’t seem bad if you take a look at the people working with the name. The movie’s screenplay has been co-written by Wesley Strick who has worked with some of the good directors making out a good movie and not only this, the actor is Oscar nominated, Jackie Earle Haley. Well so far, the movie cast and director must have had sounded convincing but, when it comes to the movie, it is astonishingly true that the remake is just a worst attempt with the best people attached to it.

The movie has got a popular and an award winning music video director Samuel Bayer still he too wasn’t able to make the movie better with some suspenseful changes. The movie completely lacks the tension or suspense, something which is really essential for the horror lovers.

The movie has got a number of major issues making it more uninteresting for viewers. The first is the lacking of scary factor when it comes to Freddy (Haley). He is having a tiny frame and a puny voice which isn’t scary but boring. Another problem with the movie is the lack of makeup when Freddy is show as a burnt victim. The makeup does not even look close to realistic and this makes Freddy not scary at all.

A remake of the movie must come with some new factors such as creative new “kills” present in it to make it a bit unique from the already made movie but there are none. There are only a few thoughts when it comes to kills, and the good ones are taken from the 1984 version.

The movie comes with mostly identical scenes and this isn’t liked by the fans of the previous versions. The movie also lacks good acting. When all these factors are taken together, the movie surely is a disaster and time wastage.

(Author: Christian_Dimartino from United States)
Will Ferrell and Mark Whalberg are The Other guys. The Other guys is Will Ferrell’s funniest and most fun film since Anchorman,which was his masterpiece. THere is a lot to admire here. The film is similar to Cop out, only funny.

In the police force, there are cops who get into car chases and shoot down bad guys. The real deal. Then,there are The other guys(Ferrell and Whalberg). Allen(Ferrell) is a goofy cop who doesn’t really care about his job.But Terry(Whalberg) is quite the opposite. He really cares about his job. This is part of the reason why they don’t get along.

So, after the real deal cops die, they decide to try and take their place. The cast also includes Samuel L. Jackson and The Rock as the better cops, Eva Mendes as Allen’s wife,who he seems to not care about, Michael Keaton as the chief, Steve Coogan as the guy they’re after, and more.

I had a blast with The Other guys. It’s the first Will Ferrell comedy in years that could become a classic. Anchorman was an instant classic. This is his best comedy since Anchorman. That’s my opinion.

The film goes in the tradition of films like Rush hour and Lethal weapon. But it goes a little further than the level of Rush hour. Cause here both actors are very likable. Unlike Rush hour,which I only payed attention to do to Chris Tucker.

I appreciated Mark Whalberg’s role in this film. After seeing him in a film like The Departed where he plays such a serious cop, here he plays such a serious cop but in comedy form. I enjoyed The Other guys. It’s hilarious,fun and exciting.Originality?I don’t know. But you forget about that. Enjoy yourself.

3.5/4
