Superman’s effectiveness as a super hero comes into question when a new group of super powerful crusaders, known as “The Elite” appear on the scene, led by British public identity hero Manchester Black. As super heroes, the Elite know no bounds, and are more than willing to kill, even on a massive scale, to stop villainy—putting them on a collision course with the ever-ethical and decidedly non-lethal Man of Steel.

This movie just didn’t click with me the wait I want it to. Seems like it had some good and interesting ideas in it but overall it does a bad job at handling and developing them in the story. But if you are into Superman or just superhero stories in general, this animated movie is still well worth checking out. It still has plenty of superhero action in it, as well as some other familiar genre aspects. But the villans in it just felt weak, there was no major development for them, but I liked the action towards the end, made it more exciting to see Superman in this way. The main idea is questioning where the world needs a hero with morals like Superman or one that would do whatever needs to be done and more like The Elites. If you like animated superhero movies, then this is worth watching.

A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.

A quasi-prequel to Alien by Ridley Scott doesn’t answer all the question, but it’s redeemed by its haunting visual grandeur and compelling performances, especially Michael Fassbender as a fastidious android. I had the original Alien with Sigourney Weaver, guns blasting, Aliens vs. Humans scenario going through my mind, what I got instead was a scientific thriller, bringing a few things together as to the origins of the Alien as well as leaving you with a lot of questions. Ridley Scott really went beyond expectations with the effects, you really feel as if you are in Alien world, just discovering one aspect of the Engineers after another, I just kept thinking of when the Alien (The Monster) would pop out but it wasn’t about them. The story leaves you with more questions then answers and I think there might be a sequel based on the ending.

Jim, Michelle, Stifler, and their friends reunite in East Great Falls, Michigan for their high school reunion.

If you loved American Pie then you will love this, 13 years later the same four guys are back together for their highschool reunion. Things just get as crazy, these guys are just as funny, and Stiffler is just as essential to this movie as everyone else. There were times that I was jumping up and laughing, then there were times that you could remember the 90s. For whoever saw this in 99 its going to bring back some memories, you won’t believe how young some of these guys were then I thought of how young we were watching it back then. If you want a great comedy then this is it.

Man With The Iron Fists

Written, directed, and starring RZA, produced by Quentin Tarantino, and featuring Lucy “So Unfairly Hot” Liu—what’s not to love about this hyper-kinetic martial arts extravaganza set in 19th Century China? Oh, Russel Crowe, right.

Taken 2

Liam Neeson is back at it again, if you thought Taken was good then your gonna love this, he is even more of a bad ass in this one. In Istanbul, retired CIA operative Bryan Mills and his wife are taken hostage by the father of a kidnapper Mills killed while rescuing his daughter.

The Expendables 2

Mr. Church reunites the Expendables for what should be an easy paycheck, but when one of their men is murdered on the job, their quest for revenge puts them deep in enemy territory and up against an unexpected threat.

I’m not watching this movie for the storyline, I’m watching it for these guys: Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, Terry Crews, and Randy Couture. The Best the 80s & 90s had to offer and then some, damn these guys are bad asses!

Hara Kiri – Death Of A Samurai

Any movie by Takashi Mike is bound to be gold, he always comes up with fantastic and epic movies, and this one is no different. An tale of revenge, honor and disgrace, centering on a poverty-stricken samurai who discovers the fate of his ronin son-in-law, setting in motion a tense showdown of vengeance against the house of a feudal lord.

Agent J travels in time to MIB’s early years in the 1960s, to stop an alien from assassinating his friend Agent K and changing history.

This is the one I was waiting for, Will Smith coming back to the big screen. Its been a very long time since Will Smith has been in a movie, but he never fails to impress and this one its back to the fun Will we all know. When they say third time is the charm this was it, the story was fantastic, you really jump into the Men in Black rythem of them movie with Will Smith at the helm of it. Agent J & Agent K back into it as usual, and they picked the perfect guy to play a young Agent K. The funny thing is they went and explained interesting and abnormal things that happened in the 60s as we know history to be alien related. Very part of this movie was great and I loved every moment of it, for the third iteration of this trilogy, with all the funny moments and action packed scenes there was still a lot in this movie that brought all the stories together, this is the best one. I’m crossing my fingers for a fourth one but not too far down the line, but if they end with this one, this is the perfect ending.

A pair of underachieving cops are sent back to a local high school to blend in and bring down a synthetic drug ring. In high school, Schmidt (Jonah Hill) was a dork and Jenko (Channing Tatum) was the popular jock. After graduation, both of them joined the police force and ended up as partners riding bicycles in the city park. Since they are young and look like high school students, they are assigned to an undercover unit to infiltrate a drug ring that is supplying high school students synthetic drugs.

Its been a while since I have seen a movie thats this funny, and these two guys pulled it off. 21 Jump Street has nothing to do with the original show from the 90s with Johnny Depp. The only major similarity is that they are young looking cops who infiltrate a high-school and it ends about there, but Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum make for a very interesting comedic duo, which even surprised me with their combination. There are moments that my popcorn went flying because I was laughing so hard, almost choked on some popcorn too, they were ridiculous in this movie and I loved it. Even you haven’t seen it then you should, its worth it but some scenes are gonna get censored because of some of the crazy things they do so watch it at home if you can.

Inspired by Spaghetti westerns and exploitation flicks, Django Unchained stars Jamie Foxx as a slave turned bounty hunter trained by a former dentist (Christoph Waltz). Foxx attempts to free his wife from a brutal plantation owner, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Any movie by Quentin Tarantino is bound to be different, and this one looks damn good.

In a twist to the fairy tale, the Huntsman ordered to take Snow White into the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen.

I might have had higher expectations then what I should have when going into this movie, at times it surprised me but mostly it bored the hell out of me. People to my left were playing with instagram in the movie theater and people to my right were having a conversation about “Nora’s” Dinner party (No clue who Nora is). The movie just didn’t catch my interest as the story went along, and its a little too long, at some points it loses you because they are trying to tell a big story and introducing new characters. The main thing is that so many characters are introduced that you don’t really get attached to the main characters. Chris Hemsworth is the Huntsman and he does a pretty decent job but he is no Thor, I think that was one of my mistakes. Kristen (Or the Girl from The Vampire Movies) just didn’t work too well for me, I don’t know why but she didn’t fit. The star of the movie though was Charlize Theron she really knew how to play the evil queen/witch, and she played her part well. They tried to make a great movie and tie in the original snow white story but overall it didn’t cut it and don’t waste your time with this movie.

A very interesting line up with a few foreign films thrown into the mix, Man On A Ledge was at the top of my watch list and it was worth it. I’m thinking about watching Act Of Valor even if it did get mixed reviews, but Hick seems really interesting. War of the Arrows is the foreign film I want to watch, and The Flower of War is a foreign film starring Christian Bale which Im assuming will be good. Journey 2 looks like one of those fun movies to watch on a slow day.

I’m a huge fan of Jackie Chan and I think I have seen a huge majority of his movies, I don’t think I have seen them all since he has made so many movies, many more then most actors. I always look forward to his movies or any movie he is in, be it action, comedy or drama. And this looks to be one of Jackie Chan’s best, an action packed movie with an interesting plot and Jackie Chan doing what he does best.

This is the first official trailer of Jackie Chan’s last BIG action movie Chinese Zodiac’s official trailer as releases in Cannes on 18 May 2012. Chan says he spent seven years working on the movie — writing, producing, directing and coordinating fight scenes.

“For the last ten years I’ve been choosing the director to direct me. This one I direct myself.” he said. “I hope this movie, 20 years later, people still remember it. For me, for the audience, for my future, for my history — it’s very important.”

The Hong Kong-born actor, 58, said: “I’ve been fighting and doing action films all my life, you’ve got to find a point to stop. With this movie I’m the director, I’m the writer, I’m the producer. So okay, I think it’s a good time to announce that it’s my last big action movie.
“I would still do action movies but not a big one like this.”
