Battleship (Battleship, 2012)

Battleship (2012)

during a military exercises near Hawaii, led by Admiral Shane meets a part of the fleet, which was separated from the rest of the Navy, on alien invaders. With advanced technology, the ships are attacked by the intruders and sunk by one. The disgraced Lieutenant Alex Hopper suddenly becomes the most senior officer of a destroyer, and finds himself in the fight of his life again!

Crack! Boom! Much testosterone, wild CGI camera moves, a voluptuous blonde course and really nice lots of explosions, in which computer-animated battle machines are torn apart. The fourth Transformers movie has all the things we already know from the past, and continues the series continued success. At least as an unofficial sequel, produced by Paramount Universal competition.

It is such a peaceful day off the coast of Hawaii. Thirteen nations have come together to test out their muscles in sports competitions and games in their war ships. Especially the U.S. and Japan find it out here who know each other here, so look good. But suddenly, fun and games are over. Gigantic spaceships that look like not like UFOs and confuse unsuspecting sailors so strong, and appear to want to wipe out the planet. To their chagrin, they have not reckoned without our boys from the U.S. Navy.

Battleship (2012)

So many years we had to wait, now, Hollywood has finally treated us this long-awaited adaptation of a classic: Battleship - the film. And yes, even if the snappy to hide the original English title in Germany, it is actually an adaptation of the classic strategy game. Actually, one would now say nothing, but I do it anyway.

Of course, the challenges were high, but they had the spirit of the original and still retain a measure to construct the game around, this has not so originally. Has made the decision to the director Peter Berg (Hancock) was so simple and ingenious: Do not Lets just an act! That should satisfy everyone.

The concept was so. Now had to create some muscle-bound sailors who said luscious blonde and a high-profile actor, whose name makes well on the poster. This led to the impressive cast of Taylor Kitsch (especially in the mega-flop John Carter to see), Jesse Plemons (Paul - An alien on the run), John Tui (various Power Rangers television) and Brooklyn Decker (Various Sports Illustrated- cover). You miss almost painfully Dwayne Johnson or John Cena. Liam Neeson, who had recently delivered perhaps his view of quality films could also be put in an uniform and may take occasional spread some respect.

Top Gun - They fear neither God nor man was considered to be a clear commercial for the U.S. Navy. But a traumatized pilot who draws new courage to fight back is nothing compared with what we are shown here. Not only did the Marines get the job to glory, honor and a voluptuous blonde. Battleship - The film is also impressive, what modern war machine has everything you need for great toys and demonstrating them in glossy format that a bleeding eyes and ears. And if things are not going so well and you in the service of his country, one, two legs, lose, no problem. The U.S. Navy has progressed well on the physiotherapy sector and the development of prosthetic far, so that no soldier will be without a disability to fame, honor, and the voluptuous blonde.

Battleship (2012)

Would I be accurate, I could not complain about it that was not even trying to make the aliens particularly innovative. The design of their equipment is so reminiscent of GI Joe (the movie, not the toy), H.A.L.O. (This time the game) and Terminator (film and again) that it does not matter really where you have seen them without a helmet before. But in the end is not in these effect fireworks anyway matter who strikes.

Of course, the film will find its audience, including "jeht dit here from table-driven", although it is not a single real stunt! There is some consolation-percent dots are also very entertaining for the finale, to which draws a 70-year-old war veteran crew to ship the same age, including AC / DC's Thunderstruck into battle. And that the makers of the impossibility of actually managed to install the game template content in the film? And finally, that one of the film, almost like an intelligent work, dismisses with a question from the cinema, which still echoes long: What was Rihanna looking for here now?

Battleship (2012)

Dark Shadows, review

This time Tim Burton plays in defense (which would be the least of the problems, is not the only one doing it) and the history of the homonymous TV series aired in the late '60s overlaps well known that part of your imagination reference made to spiers, trees leafless branches bleak, pale and emo hairstyles. In this sense, Dark Shadows is a recognizable Burton film (not as Planet of the Apes or Alice), capable of having flashes of visual imagination and find a lighthearted comedy.


The vampire Johnny Depp swings with good ideas between the director's typical dark, emo tones and hands stretched out and unghiute of Max Schreck (with a seal "by day" worthy outsider par excellence of the modern spectacle, Michael Jackson), while the combination with the colorful world of 1971 is sometimes a contrast, some enrichment.

The problem is that if anything in this imaginary Dark Shadows is just not the way it should underlie or ideas that should convey. Those images trigger memories of Burton's best but there are only images, suggest nothing.

What made it great are his best films were not blacks, leather clothing, gothic castles, or fog in dreary forests, because what all this imaginary represented, namely the fight against the dictatorship of a thought and a way of life approved pastel and cut the lawn, crushing individuality and marginalizes diversity as a value instead of cultivating it. There were hands in the shape of scissors to make romantic Edward but the fact that its diversity him away from the world he inhabits, who asks him to comply penalty hunt him down with torches and blame it for anything preventing him to love and be loved .

What conquered the Gothic burtoniano was his being a way as any other (but nice) to transport dynamics in the eternal romantic and contemporary sensibility, at the same time, able to speak with touching naivete of desires, aspirations and pains of those whofeels different and worse, without understanding that it is the same as being the worst.



In Dark Shadows nothing is everything. And 'the story of a powerful collides with another powerful, a lost soul who has everything (sex and love) but must make a choice. Set against the idea of ​​a search for normality by the vampire and the suffering of two lovers who belong to different worlds does not help much if the film then focuses on something else.

Tim Burton was able to shoot a big blockbuster and side with the disfigured Joker and then make a follow-up and side with the Penguin hunchback who lives in the sewers, because history condemns them to bad but the world that created them is the samethat disgusted them apart as they appear, and so really are not very different from that other costume that gives its name with the comic book series.

But here ends with a twist that brings the story to the problems of Twilight, and not that there's nothing wrong with the plot of Twilight (which is a restatement of how other romantic themes that sink in millennia of literature), it's just that the film there is pastel curtains conforming to the dissolution of social conflicts in the name of caring for each other, while his was the one who said that nothing is fine showing all the romance that is not to give up their uniqueness and suffer the scorn and the 'isolation of the uniqueness does not know who that is.

The Avengers

The Avengers

Loki: "I have an army!"
Tony Stark: "And we have the Hulk!"


Clearly difficult to judge a movie that made you laugh so hard. But if necessary will snatch even a few smiles (but then you feel ashamed as a thief, because much prefer laughing watching Dr. House). Oh, I'm all wrong: now that I pulled out this comparison creepy, think that The Avengers by Joss Whedon, the most awaited film of the year (excluding the Hobbit, with the load of expectations that he brings with him deserves to compete in a category separately) is a crap era, intended only for an audience of lobotomized ready to sneer at the first tit / poo / bum / fart to appear on the screen.

The Avengers

Far from it. The Avengers have a script so clean and free of vulgarity that should be done studying at school instead of those awful books of elementary school, where you submit compelling adventure style "Marco eats ice cream" and "If I had not eaten ice cream, now I swim." Not only that beyond the absence of coarseness, is based on the witty dialogue as if passed through crossfire of Glossy Finish Powerball-Glasses. Stuff you would not believe, huh. Without exception for Iron Man, I do not remember so much hilarity in an action movie devoted to superheroes. In short, a sparkling comedy. Ah yes, there is Scarlett ... but not compute. He did not even calculated the scriptwriter, why should I?

The Avengers

But we analyze point by point our beloved heroes, and behold, I allergies: give them a vote. Type scorecard, because The Avengers are a bit 'the summation of all that have combined in the school year (i.e. in three thousand individual propionates Mamma Marvel prequel).

Strictly in alphabetical order.

Captain America: rating 7.5 - Sufficiency deserves it, for goodness sake, if only for thundering derived from seventy years of hibernation. For the purposes of the plot, we can safely say that the Avenger is useless, but it is far from unpleasant. Already so much, because someone like Chris Evans could afford to focus on many other much more obvious qualities of sympathy. Oh no, I am not talking about talent. However, Captain Rogers earns many points from the film where the protagonist was unique.

Captain America

Hulk: vote 8 - The Green Party friend relegated to a rather marginal role in the plot, but it stands out very soon the flight and, in scenes where it appears, works great. His last human alter ego, Mark Ruffalo, the character of Bruce Banner gives a good dose of intellectual clumsiness that goes perfectly with the definition given by the Agent Coulson: "a kind of Stephen Hawking." Ah, I forgot: he has earned applause a scene open to the public.

Hulk

Iron Man: rating 8.5 - Okay, the move is clear: the film relies entirely (or almost) on the charisma of Robert Downey Jr., who with the character of Tony Stark prepares a true masterpiece of charm and wit. The first not taken seriously and, therefore, a real machine churning beats. A feast for the eyes, ears, heart. Good thing they rescued Robert Downey Jr. from the darkest abyss of oblivion alcohol-toxic, because it hard to imagine a performer to his height. Save yourself the jokes on stature.

Iron Man

Hawkeye: vote 6 - Damn, another character that I wanted to know more. If nothing else, because to interpret it is Jeremy Renner, with whom I have killed enough patience to friends and relatives, because I consider it a fine acting. Ugly, but beautiful in this film there are already loose and packages. Why, though, having an interpreter available this poop, not exploit it better? Marvel Mystery.

Hawkeye

Thor: vote 7 - But look a little ', the most valuable piece of man the son of Odin is able to make well liked in this film. Sure, you can count a maximum of two terms, but what can you do ... it's still a god ... it is what blocks his facial expressions. And even strips, damn him. Yet, the blonde goddess seems to have learned a few things during his earlier stay on earth and the writers have felt compelled, rightly, to give him too a couple of tasty little jokes.

Thor

Black Widow: Vote 1 - No, come on, no joke ... I want you to think I'm mad at her because she is a girl, so let's vote 6. Of course, not party advantage is lower even Robert Downey Jr. (ok, I stop, I said nothing beats the stature); physique the role  aside, let's get together with low desire, from the scriptwriters, make you an important person in for the plot ... well, dear Natasha Romanoff / Scarlett Johansson, who do you claim? That gives you 10? Come on. Take your ass and your face buttery Easter Bunny away from this blog.

Black Widow

Very well. I finished and I can go to commend the immeasurable waste of visual effects with which this film dazzles and enchants you. Do not get me out of the sermon on the excess of visual FX, because I swear that I come to break your nose at home, one by one. My joy, vai to see The Avengers ... what do you expect to find on the screen? Two rooms and kitchen and a slew of close-ups? Mica're seeing Kiss me again, damn it! And thankfully, I add softly.

Hey, wait. I forgot something. Indeed, something. With a capital letter.

Loki: vote 8 - We'd keep me in a chat with the writers of The Avengers. I'm serious. As hoped to maintain the tension with a bad, if you've seen Thor, has only a bad spell for dark circles, just cannot understand it. Loki, Thor's brother and rival of our beloved team of Avengers, is mistreated, beaten and abused from beginning to end. In addition, there is a moment in which the public might fear the worst: the defeat is written in its DNA. And to think that is, between the protagonists, who lives most human of all the drama: it despises and is despised, before the eyes have its obvious inferiority to a good brother, blonder and more beautiful than ever. Among other things, Tom Hiddleston is so good that I would give him 110 summa cum laude with academic embrace and reverence, if only the writers had not come to the rescue. An unforgivable sin not to have built better, this bad.

Loki

Okay, but aside from this crew of misfits, what about this highly anticipated giocattolone? That, unfortunately, at least in part, to disappoint. Yes, because the subject turns you turn, already shaky from the premises. Okay, we know that Loki is pissed off; we know that yearning for a ransom ... but as it meets its 'allies'? Who am I? And above steps for Iron Man that has a super armor, and therefore it is as if traveling on a flying tank super hi-tech, steps Thor is a god and dent less than usual, wanting to walk well for Hulk is the only worthy, indeed, the name of the superhero, but the other three can actually fight a horde of enemies much larger and better equipped than they? And even assuming that they were superheroes of all docs ... well, you people are still six against six hundred. Okay, you say, but there will be the armed forces to back them. Here I stopped, because otherwise, you end up spat all over the plot, and frankly, I do not really want. I only say that there will, in a film that speaks of divine brothers came from the sky, the men with the magnetic plates installed in the center of the chest and the science of stars that become green behemoths, to make the story even more unlikely of protagonists. Moreover, in more than one occasion, the story slows down terribly, losing in a hide-the repartee between the Avengers can have fun but in the long run ends for grouting.

Beware, though: mine is far from being a rejection. Because, beyond some slowness and shallowness of the simplistic narrative mechanism, The Avengers and has a fun style that differs from all other films made in Marvel. Does not take himself seriously even in moments of drama, and this is its strength. Nothing-stale stench of emotion, no misplaced sentimentality. Would fall into a fatal gear, whereas each of the Avengers have a stormy past behind us and an unspecified quantity of skeletons in the closet, shadows in the soul and the like. The action rules over all, there are no time for existential questions. Thanks, Mr. Joss, because the lightness is not always a defect.

First trailer for the mystery thriller "Meeting Evil," starring Samuel L. Jackson

Meeting Evil

the mysterious crime drama "Meeting Evil," directed by Chris Fisher, there is a first trailer. Luke Wilson plays an ill-fated man who meets a mysterious stranger (Samuel L. Jackson).

Samuel L. Jackson appears to be present everywhere, as long as he can pursue his passion as an actor. He is just as large blockbusters ("Marvel's The Avengers") to see how trashy and DVD productions ("Arena"). And for smaller theater productions, he finds time, as the crime-mystery-drama "Meeting Evil," directed by Chris Fisher ("S. Darko"). In it, he embodies a villain who goes to the disillusioned family man John, played by Luke Wilson ("Motel", "Blue Streak"). The mysterious stranger takes him on a journey full of violence and murder, the weak-John slowly transformed into desperate heroes who will do anything to protect his family ...

Start date in the U.S. for "Meeting Evil" is 4 May 2012, when the film seems to us, is not yet known.

Samuel L. Jackson personifies evil

in the new psychological thriller Meeting Evil Samuel L. Jackson may finally run once again as a villain. For the character played by Luke Wilson, however, this has no positive consequences. More on the bad experience it in the first trailer

there are some actors that I forgive you all just flops to assist them in every new movie repeatedly and again to wish success, simply because I love to see on the big screen. Samuel L. Jackson is one of those performers. In Pulp Fiction, he represented one of the coolest characters in film history, only to then always (vain?) To try to call again this needs to be. But who knows, maybe he succeeds in the psychological thriller Meeting Evil once again deliver a performance that movie fans around the world will remain in memory. The first trailer shows us Mr. Jackson at least once before with an iconic hat.

Meeting Evil is the film debut of director Chris Fisher and alongside Samuel L. Jackson Luke Wilson and Leslie Bibb in the lead roles. Luke Wilson represents the recently unemployed broker John Fleton that makes random due to a breakdown of the acquaintance, played by Samuel L. Jackson character named Richie. The latter obviously has the ability to manipulate people for his purposes, and so John is involved in a Morderserie, whose purpose has been, however, lies in the dark. Clearly soon not only the welfare of others is at stake, but Fleton John and his family will inevitably be threatened by evil.

Meeting Evil

The first trailer for Meeting Evil varies qualitatively somewhere between a potentially excellent psychological thriller and a mediocre acting film that will find its way directly into the DVD shelves. As a fan of Samuel L. Jackson, of course, I would hope the former. At least in the U.S., Meeting Evil is but definitely in the movie theaters. On 4 May, the Americans must learn what is behind the mysterious plan of the hat-wearer. How and when Meeting Evil will be released in Germany, but so far unknown.

Murderous glances at The Raven with John Cusack

The Raven with John Cusack

The first press screenings in the U.S. The Raven has already passed. We have not even seen the film, which is why we are content for now with a new clip. In which we can observe a murder (almost).

In The Raven John Cusack plays the famous gothic author Edgar Allan Poe and has to explain dark backdrop murders. A trailer you could look at you already, but then it was quiet for the time. Now this is different because the first screening of The Raven ran in the United States. For us it will take, but in the U.S., the film is already starting this week. No wonder that they now cut out a new clip. The clip shows - or rather does not - one of the killings, the Baltimore-19th Century plague. Looks in for a little Edgar Allen Poe - atmosphere.

In The Raven is about said series of murders in Baltimore.Detective Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) notice about this, that every murder is matched exactly to the gruesome story of a local writer: Edgar Allen Poe (John Cusack). First, the prime suspect, is quite Poe relieved quickly, because during his trial takes place, another, also ajar to his murder stories. Poe must now help the police to anticipate the next steps of the serial killer. Time is short, because it certainly looks as though it apart the culprit now on Poe's beloved Emily Hamilton (Alice Eve). Use on your own needs Poe's detective skills honed with his stories, to stop the psychopath.

In the clip we see probably one of the first big murder this psychopath. The moon is clear and cold through the dark, almost colorless night. A scream cuts through the silence and the police hurried to the scene, which concludes the culprit in the last minute.The police broke open the door to see just hang around the arm of the victim from the fire. This is taken directly from the story The Murders in the Rue Morgue, where a mother's throat is cut and his daughter abruptly ends as a chimney blockage. Judging from the atmosphere to the film by James McTeigue will be very melancholy, but ultimately give the dynamic thriller and detective aspect of the privilege. A Sherlock Holmes hunted in the dark in Baltimore?

The first reviews were not very sympathetic, and currently certifies Rotten Tomatoes an average rating of 02/04/10 points. Often is actually a poor imitation of Poe, Sherlock Holmes-coating the speech, although the premise is highlighted in itself often positive.Even the reviews are not particularly numerous, so the tone might change. For us, the film starts on 13 September in the cinemas.
