Anyway, I’ll get back with more reviews for you. Thank you for your patience.

Best regards.

Clip from Avatar trailer

This is the story of Jake, a soldier in a wheel chair who’s been drafted into the avatar program to help humans conquer a mineral rich planet called Pandora.

The trailer was released on August 2009 and the movie premiere is on December 18th 2009.

Don’t let the fancy graphics make you think this is just another CG movie blockbuster. Some high definition clips have been leaked on the net and they are jaw dropping. According to James Cameron himself, he’s been developing the technology to produce this film for over a decade, and on December 18th we all get to see the results.

Enjoy the trailer for Avatar

You get a group of misfits (how couldn’t they be, in zombieland), traveling across the country pursuing each one their own dream, away from the danger of being caught by the undead. The story is narrated by Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) who’s developed his very own rules to stay alive, and keeps them in a notepad. while he’s trying to get reunited with his parents, he meets Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin). Nobody trusts anyone, and the only matter they seem to agree with is killing zombies.

You’ll enjoy the story not being focused on the zombies; They’re an important part of the movie, but the main attraction is the group of four survivors and how each one of them fights to stay alive.

Rated R. Highly recommended. Go see it.

Watch the trailer of Zombieland:

As attractive as a name like Chanel is, this adaptation of her life to the big screen is not. Bringing some good actors is not enough to make a project shine, and this work clearly depicts the desire to spend money just to pay respect. Thoug I’m a fan of Audrey Tautou, I was having a hard time looking at the stiff, bitter look on her face that she kept 90% of the time. Only when Coco and Boy Capel were together she smiled and changed the mood completely.

While Étiene Balsan (played by Benoit Poelvoorde) seems to be supeficially interested in Coco, he´s the one providing the means for her to leave her job and moving on to know the life of France´s rich and famous. Étiene expresses his sincere love for Coco, but he finds her heart already taken by Arthur Capel (played by Alessandro Nivola); Étiene is no match for him.

Coco Chanel’s biography mentions her having more than two lovers, nevertheless she ends up with none, and dedicates her life to her designs.

See the trailer for Coco before Chanel:

We get to see more werewolfs and apparently the return of Victoria, played by Rachell Lefevre.

Yes, it’s another film recorded in this kind of home movie format. At the beginning it doesn’t look too promising, but as the film progresses paranormal activity grows, so does the tension in the viewer. They manage to catch the attention with little things like noise, a door that moves, some wind blowing inside the house, a Ouija board or an old photo of Katie.

The activity occurs at night. At first the couple did not realize this until they see what is recorded, but later the manifestations won’t let them go back to sleep.

After 30 minutes in the movie, the camera movement and corny dialogue do not matter as much as knowing what is happening in that place and what will happen to the couple.

The dialogue is of course simple. She is a student, he is an online investor, and they have been together for three years now.

There are times when one wishes to have a better point of view of what is happening, because obviously the camera is pointing the other way, or is misdirected, or is in night vision mode, but this is precisely part of the charm of the plot, not to let you see too much.

Although there are more interventions, you will only see the faces of four people, including a psychic who’s appearance is worthless.

If you are a person who likes to be frightened, this film will give you a couple of good scares. It looks like it’s not the big hit kind of movie, but turns out to be a pleasant surprise for this season, leaving aside the way it’s being promoted (it’s supposed to be a real documentary).

Congratulations to the producers. This is the film that comes to take the place of Blair Witch with merits.

Go see it!

Cheers!

Trailer of the movie:

In every school there is one girl every girl wants to be friends with, and every guy would die for.

And that would be Megan Fox character Jennifer, a high school cheerleader that’s murdered by a rock band in a ritual. But, the ritual was incomplete, since it required a virgin, and Jennifer was not. The only person that knows the truth is Needy (Amanda Seyfried), mainly because they used to be best friends, and Jennifer tells her all about her new life as a possessed student.

Megan Fox plays the same sexy chick roll she got us used to. Not too much to offer, except for one or two creepy appearances (ok, that’s a point for the makeup artists). Amanda Seyfried, looks pretty mature. In this movie her face reminds me of Kate Winslet, and her hair was done like Julia Styles in “10 things I hate about you”.

Not the horror film to follow this year, But still you get a few kicks from the dialog. Go see it!

Cheers!

A regular man looses his family when his house is robbed and he’s left to die. The justice system didn’t work for him as one of the two criminals is released after making a deal, so frustration invades him and decides to take justice by his own.

Gerard Butler plays Clyde Shelton, the man that’s been preparing his revenge for 10 years and let it fall over Nick Rice, played by Jamie Foxx, the district attorney assigned to his case, and the one that made the deal with a criminal.

The murdering scene at the begining of the film is a bit gross, but since the director was in a hurry to present the case, it happens fast, just like the trial, and 10 years of their lives.

The plot is interesting and gets your attention. Clyde Shelton is getting his revenge and everything else he wants, leaving us to find out how he manages to threat his captors and then carry it out.

You’ll see a lot of overacted scenes, but also some bits of good action and a few nice surprises. Go see it!

Cheers!
