Rocky Balboa (2006)

Rocky Balboa marks the sixth film in the franchise, and the first installment since 1990's widely ridiculed Rocky V. Come to think of it, I think I am, perhaps, the only film lover in the free world, that actually enjoyed Rocky V. I know it to be a silly film with it's idiotic logic (upon Rocky's return from Russia, his son has, somehow, aged seven years) and it's weak ass villain (sorry Tommy Morrison), but breaking it down logistically, it's no sillier than Rocky IV's attempt at creating some kind of absurd metaphor for World War III. Getting back to the subject at hand, I'm happy to report that Rocky Balboa, while hardly perfect, is a much stronger film than the last two installments.

In this sweet love letter to Rocky fans, Balboa is still very much the charmer he was in the original film. While trying to cope with the loss of his beloved Adrian, Rocky passes his time running a restaurant in his old Philadelphia stomping ground. The aging champ discovers he still has a little something "left in the basement" when he views a virtual boxing challenge on ESPN. In the animated match, it's old school vs. new school as Balboa is thrown into the ring and pitted against the current heavy weight champ, Mason "The Line" Dixon, a young, hungry, fiercely competitive fighter whose lost a lot of respect among sports fans. Compelled to let his inner anger out, Balboa decides he wants to train and engage in some smaller Philly boxing matches, but he's once again dragged into the limelight when Dixon's camp approach him and try to entice him into taking part in an exhibition fight. Faster than you can say "training montage," Rocky agrees. After all, he's got nothing to lose even though his somewhat estranged son Robert wholeheartedly disagrees.

UNDISPUTED 3: REDEMPTION (2010)

It's fair to say that a couple of months ago I had never heard of Isaac Florentine's film UNDISPUTED 3: REDEMPTION, and while I am vaguely aware of the Wesley Snipes/Ving Rhames original, most likely I would have skimmed past this film on the DVD shelf without so much of a second glance. That was, however, before Action Fest. At the inaugural celebration of all things tick tick boom in Ashville, North Carolina last month, Florentine was named Best Director, and Larnell Stovall collected the award for Best Fight Choreography. Suffice to say, UNDISPUTED 3 skyrocketed from total obscurity to the very top of my must-watch list, and martial arts fans will not be disappointed - UNDISPUTED 3 is a jawbreaker!

The Stranger (2010)

Former pro wrestler "Stone Cold" Steve Austin appears in his third starring role, as the "stranger" of the title. He's a former FBI agent who has a memory condition. He apparently experienced some kind of tragedy in his past and has blocked it out. He now re-invents himself every so often, living life as a homeless man, or a dockworker, each time not remembering what happened before. The movie never really uses this idea for anything, except the promise (threat) of sequels with "the stranger" turning up with new identities and new jobs each time. For now, The Stranger can be credited mainly for confusing those interested in Orson Welles' much better 1946 movie of the same name.
Mason Reese (Adam Beach) is an FBI agent who is constantly on the lookout for the missing "Tom" Tomashevsky (Austin). Psychiatrist Grace Bishop (Erica Cerra) also wants to find him; he's her patient and she's basically just concerned about him. Tom, who has been living in a homeless encampment, tips his hand by using his considerable combat skills to rescue a kidnapped girl, which makes his trail hot again. It comes out that Tom -- somewhere deep in his memory -- knows about a large amount of stolen money, and lots of people are dying to get their hands on it.

Robin Hood (2010)

Everyone knows the story of Robin Hood. Robin of Loxley returns from the Crusades to steal from the rich and give to the poor, split arrows in twain, and wear suggestively large feathers in his hat. But not Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood, because all that stuff is a bit cartoonish. Once Mel Brooks and a cartoon fox have covered a subject, Ridley Scott decides it’s time to go in another direction.

That’s why Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood is gritty and realistic. Originally Robin Longstride (played by a very staunch Russell Crow), our hero returns from the Crusades and travels to Nottingham as a favor to a dying man, Robert of Loxley, who asks Robin to return his father’s sword. Upon arriving at the beleaguered hamlet of Nottingham, Robert’s father, Sir Walter Loxley, decides that Robin should take his son’s place, at least for the sake of appearances. As Robin settles into his new life bringing prosperity back to Nottingham, an English traitor, Godfrey (Mark Strong), is leading a battalion of French troops, sacking villages in the name of King John, and drawing closer to Nottingham. No one seems to wonder why the king’s men speak French.

Shrek Forever After 2010

While the first two Shrek films scored high praise from both critics and audiences, the third installment of the animated saga, 2007’s Shrek the Third, was widely considered a letdown, a signal that Dreamworks’ wildly successful franchise had finally jumped the shark. But that didn’t deter the studio from greenlighting a fourth Shrek film, Shrek Forever After, with the somewhat dubious assurance that it would be the last to feature the titular green ogre.

The plot of Shrek Forever After in many ways reflects the creative fatigue the filmmakers clearly feel: After fathering triplets with his wife Fiona (Cameron Diaz), Shrek (Mike Myers) has settled into a wearisome domestic routine of morning feedings, clogged bathrooms, and neighborhood pot lucks. But a domesticated Shrek is a boring Shrek, and he soon longs to escape the tedium of family life and return to the carefree days when all the creatures of the forest feared his roar. But how? He's stuck.

Now they want to use human DNA in a hybrid that could revolutionize science and medicine. But when the pharmaceutical company that funds their research forbids it, Clive and Elsa secretly conduct their own experiments. The result is Dren, an amazing, strangely beautiful creature of uncommon intelligence and an array of unexpected physical developments. And though, at first, Dren exceeds their wildest dreams, she begins to grow and learn at an accelerated rate--and threatens to become their worst nightmare.

Assembling an elite team of experts--Lt. Dixon Piper and Vicki St. Elmo--MacGruber will navigate an army of assassins to hunt down Cunth and bring him to justice. His methods may be unorthodox.

The Karate Kid

The fact of the matter is it's been 26 years since the first Karate Kid, and given how many other movies have relied on the exact same formula, a full-fledged remake is pretty fair game. By moving things to China and casting 11-year-old Jaden Smith (as opposed to the 25-year-old Ralph Macchio of the original), Sony successfully put a fresh coat of paint on the rickety old story, and despite a gargantuan running time and paper-thin characters, it's kind of nice to see yet another kid learn the crane pose.

The Losers

The Losers’ high pitched intensity blasts onto the screen and goes for broke for an hour and a half, with nary a second to breathe. It’s pure adrenaline comic book fun, only mildly violent and coarse, absent sex, and it’s clear who’s good and who’s bad in this send up of jungle politics.
Clay (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), Rocque (Idris Alba), Jensen (Chris Evans), Pooch (Columbus Short) and Cougar (Spain’s Óscar Jaenada) are The Losers, CIA black ops agents left for dead in the Bolivian jungle after a brutal hijack by supposed ‘friendlies’. They attempt to rescue children in a jungle schoolhouse, but a nasty outcome makes them hell bent on revenge. These aren’t guys to do anything to, let alone children in their care.
They have no identity or backing as they try to escape Bolivia. Being presumed dead makes their movements simpler, and their chances at apprehending high tech terrorist, the enigmatic Max (Jason Patric), who engineered the attack against them, are growing dim. Max is an untouchable cyber villain, white suit and sneering attitude, one of the most heavily guarded men in the world. Patric is obviously having fun knocking together Dennis Hopper and Nic Cage to create this outlandish, black-hearted cad.

FAST & FURIOUS 4 (2009)

Hot girls, hotter cars, hot guys and some hot action... Fast and Furious 4 is a visual treat in every sense. If you are a speed junkie and love to watch heart pounding racing, this fourth instalment from the Fast and Furious franchise is a thrilling joy-ride.

KNOWING (2009)

Nicolas Cage has brought us plenty of crazy movies in the past few years, butKnowing is a doozy of an entirely different level. Dark City and I, Robotdirector Alex Proyas peppers his take on the disaster movie with a whole host of other genre elements, including ghost stories, conspiracy thrillers and a dash of whacked-out sci-fi. The five credited writers, Proyas included, may deserve the blame for this mishmash, but Proyas clearly thinks he's presenting us with some kind of directorial vision.

Don't be fooled by the apocalyptic infernos, decimated landscapes, and roving bands of gaunt, hallow-eyed cannibals; while director John Hillcoat and screenwriter Joe Penhall's adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's bleak best-seller The Road is without question one of the most grim and nightmarish survival stories ever conjured up on film, it also happens to be one of the most optimistic and hopeful. Nevertheless, there's plenty of darkness surrounding that faint flicker of humanity -- almost enough to swallow it up entirely.

THE INTERNATIONAL (2009)

It’s the story of Louis Salinger (Clive Owen), and INTERPOL agent working in France and his attempt to implicate a mega-banking firm in arms dealing. I loved how the film opens – the very first frame puts you right into the film with no preamble. Louis and his partner are trying to “turn” a bank executive and get him to provide evidence of the bank’s misdeeds. Things do not go well within a few short minutes.

It seems that everyone is against Louis and he can make no headway in his investigation. People are being killed and “disappeared” but there is no concrete evidence of the bank’s involvement. He is soon joined by American FBI operative Eleanor Whitman (Naomi Watts), who has been attempting to work the case state-side, and has also been running into roadblocks.

The Hurt Locker (2009)

Three members of the Army’s elite Explosive Ordnance Disposal squad battle insurgents and each other as they search for and disarm a wave of roadside bombs on the streets of Baghdad—in order to try and make the city a safer place for Iraqis and Americans alike. Their mission is clear—protect and save—but the margin of error when defusing a war-zone bomb is zero. When Staff Sergeant William James cheerfully takes over the team, his subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge are shocked by what seems like his reckless disregard for military protocol and basic safety measures. And yet, in the fog of war, appearances are never reliable for long. Is James really a swaggering cowboy who lives for peak experiences– or is he a consummate professional who has honed his esoteric craft to high-wire precision? As the fiery chaos of Baghdad threatens to engulf them, the men struggle to understand and contain their mercurial new leader long enough for them to make it home. They have only 38 days left in their tour, but with each new mission comes another deadly encounter, and as James blurs the line between bravery and bravado, it seems only a matter of time before disaster strikes.

UNDERWORLD 3: RISE OF THE LYCANS

After the abysmal Underworld: Evolution from 2006, the prospect of another go-around with werewolves and vampires wasn't welcome, though I have to hand it to the producers for having the sheer balls to replace Beckinsale with Rhona Mitra and hiring Bill Nighy and Michael Sheen, perhaps hoping acting expertise will pull this pointless prequel out of the gutter. The risk pays off for the rickety franchise, with Rise of the Lycans a swell, if profoundly trivial return to form for the creakyUnderworld universe.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

In the crowded pantheon of comic-book-derived movie-franchise superheroes, Wolverine, as embodied by the muscular Australian song-and-dance man always seemed kind of special. A grouchy, sensitive loner with retractable metal claws and apparently unretractable facial hair, Wolverine brooded and growled through the first three X-men pictures, helping to supply them (or at least the first two) with welcome grace notes of rough humor and macho pathos. And now with its ungainly, geeky title and its relatively trim (under-two-hour) running time, helps explain just what makes this guy so intriguing and unusual.

Terminator Salvation (2009)

Terminator Salvation is arguably the closest thing to non-stop action since The Mummy Returns. It opens in the thick of a military operation and barely slows down for its 115 minutes. Character development is almost non-existent and the picture relies on our prior knowledge of the previousTerminator pictures. The characters are paper thin and the film has obvious signs of tinkering. Ironically, for a film that constantly opines about the strength of the human heart, the film lacks the very heart and soul that brought humanity to the first three pictures. It is occasionally a first-rate action spectacle, but it is only the spectacle that merits recommendation.

2012 End of The World

2012 End of the World is an action thriller movie based on the theory of Mayan’s prediction that the world will come to an end on 12 December 2012. The film is by Roland Emmerich who has directed films like Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow to name a few. Starring John Cusack and Amanda Peet, the movie blends the idea of the Mayan calendar which predicts the world ending in 2012, with natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, typhoons and glaciers plaguing the planet and a large cast of characters dealing with the mayhem.

Disaster is meaningful only if easily identifiable architecture and geography falls down and goes boom in this Roland Emmerich’s end-of-world view. The whole disaster is seen through the eyes of Jackson Curtis (John Cusack), a failed writer who had lost his wife (Amanda Peet) and children to Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Gordon Silberman (Tom McCarthy). Jackson is now reduced to driving a limousine and listening to an Art-Bell style crackpot who believes the end of the world is near.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

Voldemort never actually appears, and there are surprisingly few action sequences — adapter Steve Kloves, back in his chair after a one-film absence, has taken the surprising decision to junk the one big battle in the book. But those there are — a chase in the corn between Harry and the Death Eaters, the scene in a forbidding cave where Harry and Dumbledore seek to unravel Voldemort’s secrets — crackle with a chilling sense of threat.

For the rest, there is a fair amount of humour as Harry and his pals discover that life isn’t only about saving the world, it’s also about girls, and star-crossed love. Ron (Rupert Grint), pursued by the amorous Lavender Brown, is given a knowing line in teenage disillusion.

Inglourious Basterds (2009)

Quentin Tarantino has been a lot of things in his nearly 20-year career (yes, Reservoir Dogs premiered at Sundance 17.5 years ago, and yes, that makes you old), from enfant terrible to Oscar winner to untouchable fanboy icon, but he’s never seemed to strain so hard to just make a Quentin Tarantino Film as he does as writer/director of Inglourious Basterds. An 160 minute farce of historical revision, Basterds unfold in five chapters, all but one featuring a major act of violence padded with lots of footage of people sitting at tables, talking, in four different languages (five if you count Tarantino Speak, that American English dialect clogged with arcane, movie-sourced and invented slang spoken by Bible-quoting hit men and yellow jumpsuited hit women alike). So far so good, right? But the talking is notably lacking in the spark and rhythm that we’ve come to expect from Tarantino, and with a fair four-fifths of the film given over to character exposition and dull chatter, the violent setpieces feel rushed along, devoid of both the poetics of Kill Bill’s fight sequences and the rock n’ roll efficiency of the rest of his filmography.

District 9 (2009)

District 9 is a science fiction thriller film released in 2009, directed byNeill Blomkamp. It was written by Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell, and produced by Peter Jackson and Carolynne Cunningham. The film stars Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope and David James. Copley plays the role of Wikus van de Merwe,^[3] an Afrikaner bureaucrat assigned to relocate a race of extraterrestrial creatures unexpectedly stranded on Earth, derogatorily referred to as "prawns", from District 9, a military-guarded slum in Johannesburg, South Africa, to an internment camp outside the city. The movie was nominated for four Academy Awards in 2010, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Visual Effects, and Best Editing.^[4]

The story, adapted from Alive in Joburg, a 2005 short film directed by Blomkamp and produced by Copley, pivots on the themes of xenophobia and social segregation. The title and premise ofDistrict 9 were inspired by events that took place in District Six, Cape Town during theapartheid era. The film was produced for $30 million and shot on location in Chiawelo, Soweto, presenting fictional interviews, news footage, and video from surveillance cameras in a part-mock documentary style format. A viral marketing campaign began in 2008, at the San Diego Comic-Con, while the theatrical trailer appeared in July 2009. Released by TriStar Pictures, the film opened to critical acclaim on August 14, 2009, in North America and earned $37 million in its opening weekend. Many saw the film as a sleeper hit for its relatively unknown cast and low-budget production, while achieving success and popularity during its theatrical run.

Star Trek (2009)

When it comes to a franchise as beloved as Star Trek, I suppose it's important to let people know where you stand, right at the beginning: I never was able to get into the original Star Trek series (probably because I'd already been indoctrinated into the Star Wars religion), but I knew enough to become a big fan of the first three cinematic adaptations. I think The Motion Picture is a fine (if slightly overlong) re-awakening of the franchise, and I'm a big fan of both The Wrath of Khan and The Search for Spock. The rest of the features are slight and forgettable (at best) or drearily familiar, which is slightly annoying because I absolutely adore The Next Generation on the small screen. On the big one? Not so much. But beyond the impact and popularity of a lone franchise, I'm just a huge science fiction fan. Anything that can delve deep into the future and dazzle me with something flashy or fascinating is a good thing indeed. But what makes Star Treksuch a long-lasting and rabidly adored franchise is that it goes beyond simple "alien adventures" and touches upon ideas, questions, and issues that we always contend with in the "real" world. If you have to travel 100,000 miles and deal with purple aliens to make a clever point about, say, racism, then let's hear it for basic-yet-admirable subtext. So yes, Star Trek has always been a smart, insightful, and topical space adventure, but this time out ... it's mostly just fun. Yes, it's an all-new reboot of one of the most beloved series of all time. Which means director J.J. Abrams and his filmmaking crew are walking on very thin ice. True, it's not like the Star Trek series has never seen a bad film, but when you're retro-fitting a mega-franchise in very loud and expensive fashion ... the fans take notice. And they're not afraid to call bullshit at the drop of a hat or a crack in the canon, which is part of what makes the new Star Trek such a pleasant surprise. Not only did they "pull it off," but they've done so in rather grand fashion: This is the best Trek since Khan got all wrathful and such. It's an origin story, which is normally snooze central, but in this case ... well, do you actually KNOW how Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura, etc., all met up at the start? I'd assume that only the hardest of hardcore fans know that stuff, and the "flashback" approach allows us to accept an all-new cast as a simple part of the equation. The story of young Kirk, who lost his father only one second after being born, turning away from a rebellious streak and enlisting in Starfleet, only to slowly acquire a rather eclectic crew of friends while battling a mercilessly evil villain ... yeah, this stuff is just plain old fun. And what a entertaining film this will be for the movie geeks to dig through: Shot like a dream, cut real tight, scored with majesty and power, packed with dazzling sights and sounds and sly little pieces of banter. We've also got the requisite chase and escape stuff, a few nifty creatures, a sweet dash of romance, and even some time-travel twistiness that all but demands repeat viewings. Hell, you could know nothing about the words Star Trek and still find a lot to enjoy here. Any of the old-school Star Trek fans can tell you: It's the cast that makes or breaks a series. And while it's way too early to tell if this new gang will make a fan-friendly impact, going only by one fine film, this ensemble is aces across the board. So while we don't have that friendly sort of familiarity that we normally have with Star Trek, it's replaced with the sensation of meeting interesting "new" characters who might be a little bit younger (and, yes, a lot prettier) but are still just as likable. Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto excel as Kirk and Spock (respectively), but big chunks of the film are stolen by the likes of Uhura (Zoe Saldana), McCoy (Karl Urban), and good ol' Scotty (Simon Pegg). Compliments also to Eric Bana's brooding villainy,Bruce Greenwood's classy authority, and Ben Cross' overt Vulcanosity. (And was that ... Winona Ryder? Nah, couldn't be.) No, this is not the Enterprise crew we know and love, but I know enough to crave a few more adventures with the new guys. As Star Trek is character(s) first and plot second, it's understood that we spend a lot of time getting reacquainted with everyone, but of course there's just enough of an adventure story to keep the flick cooking. Eric Bana stars as a horrific Romulan with a massive grudge, one who's not afraid to leap back in time to satisfy his lust for revenge. But the real arc of the flick is Jim Kirk, and his journey from Enterprise stowaway to captain. The screenwriters run through a whole lot of road-blocks and temporal contortions to give the Star Trek faithful a reboot to remember, and I'd say they've done one heck of a job.

Avatar (2009)

The scoop on "Avatar" including movie photos, "Avatar" review, trailer, interviews, and cast list for this sc-fi action drama starring Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana and directed by James Cameron.

Synopsis: We enter the alien world through the eyes of Jake Sully (Worthington), a former Marine confined to a wheelchair. But despite his broken body, Jake is still a warrior at heart. He is recruited to travel light years to the human outpost on Pandora, where a corporate consortium is mining a rare mineral that is the key to solving Earth's energy crisis. Because Pandora's atmosphere is toxic, they have created the Avatar Program, in which human "drivers" have their consciousness linked to an avatar, a remotely-controlled biological body that can survive in the lethal air. These avatars are genetically engineered hybrids of human DNA mixed with DNA from the natives of Pandora... the Na'vi.

Reborn in his avatar form, Jake can walk again. He is given a mission to infiltrate the Na'vi, who have become a major obstacle to mining the precious ore. But a beautiful Na'vi female, Neytiri (Saldana), saves Jake's life, and this changes everything.
