Cloud Atlas

The latest film from brothers Wachoswki is an adaptation of the novel by David Mitchell. Almost the same with Life of Pi, Cloud Atlas is a very difficult novel to be adapted to the big screen. More remarkable is the film does not have any major Hollywood studios that gave him the funds involved in the project, although this is actually the names of the actors are quite famous, including Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry and Tom Hanks. As a result Cloud Atlas to be one of the most expensive independent film in the world. The story of the underdog is not covered by sweet because Cloud Atlas failed to close the purse in screenings around the world. Is this film is too difficult to understand and more palatable in the form of a written word?

Dead Man down

Which version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo that you like? Hollywood version, directed by David Fincher or Swedish version directed by Niels Arden Oplev? Regardless of which version you like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a blessing for the many parties involved in it. Since the success of the film the two main actors: Michael Nyqvist and Noomi Rapace has been successfully go hollywood. Not to be outdone by the two actors that he eventually fielding Niels Arden Oplev the director went into Hollywood with a directorial debut: Dead Man Down. In this film besides wearing Colin Farrell as the main star Rapace Oplev also invited. Coupled with the stars are pretty slick as Dominic Cooper and Terrence Howard is Dead Man Down could be a good thriller?

Star Trek Into Darkness

If asked to compare between the two popular sci-fi franchise Star Trek Star Warsdan which one is better I can not because I love both of them. But when asked which is more popular then the answer becomes much easier. Without shrink Star Trek, Star Wars is clearly the more popular franchise. Star Trek franchise even had to go through dark times after they failed feature films and TV series the rating continues to decline until eventually canceled. But executives at studio Paramount know that what they have to do to make Star Trek relevant again is to reboot.

Fast & Furious 6

The title of this movie is actually what? Fast & Furious 6, Fast Six, or Furious Six? Ah I do not know. The more important question to ask is after this movie achieve tremendous popularity with the success of Fast Five Furious Six whether to continue with the same formula that is to return one more time to face the popular racing franchise of this? As already known from the post-ending scene in Fast Five Letty apparently presumed dead at the end of the movie Fast & Furious (the fourth film is not the first) was still alive.

The Tunnel

Now the trend is working on a horror film with a minimum budget. The success of Paranormal Activity revived as genre found footage that was once popular when The Blair Witch Project is released. Strangely enough this phenomenon since The Blair Witch Project was a popular because people do not know whether it is real or not (and the internet was still in the premature). Currently with bells,  computers and so many found footage film snobs practical curiosity about whether a movie like this is really happening is not there. We know that the movie ... so if the tunnel has an element x which can make effective scare the audience?

Jurassic Park

Sometimes it's hard to believe time passes so quickly. One of the monumental films in the decade of the 90s, Jurassic Park was released in 1993, now 20 years old. To commemorate the 20th anniversary, the Universal was working on a 3D version of this film and re-release it in the theater-theater throughout the world. I myself remember watching Jurassic Park as a child and was so stunned by it. Although it's been a few times after watching it on TV again I miss repeating watch Jurassic Park on the big screen. Whether additional 3D movie can re-create this impressive?

Epic

Among the three major animation studio Pixar, Dreamworks, and Blue Sky is actually the most vulnerable position to be shifted to the new animation studios. If Pixar animated film is already the king of the world making it difficult to slide. Dreamworks uses different strategies by means of the quantity released the film as much as possible and hope and hopefully some have quality above average. Blue Sky behind arguably the two main competitors. Beyond the Ice Age franchise films their other original animation is quite successful but not big enough to be a franchise. Blue Sky once again betting on new franchise which this time is entitled to a dashing title: Epic.

Now You See Me

May exist in human nature to want to be deceived. Fooled. Tested knowledge at a higher level again. That is why we as the audience really liked the movie with a twist ending, the film keeps us guessing what happens next. Now You See Me is a film that combines the techniques of magic and once using the magic technique for drama theft (heist). By combining two genres that often trick the audience if the story was initiated by Boaz Yakin and Edward Ricourt and directed by Louis Letterier up to it?

Snitch

Since Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's entrance into the realm of Hollywood for the first time in the movie The Scorpion King cameo he identical masculine known as an action star. After all, the love of The Rock to the children (many idolized him when I was a kid in the first WWF) also makes frequent play in the family film. Slowly but surely making his career as a star among all acceptable. After all, The Rock still rarely get a serious role. When viewed from his resume movie 'The Rock acting maybe just two: Faster and Gridiron Gang.

Chantavit Dhanasevi

Asian countries other than Japan and Korea were able to make a scary movie chilling goosebumps for sure is Thailand. Some terrible films ever released from that country including Shutter danAlone that the screenplay was written by Sophon Sakdaphisit. Want to step up to a higher level again, Sophon trying directed horror film that he wrote himself. The title is Coming Soon, lift horror on the big screen with a widescreen theme.

Man of Steel

While Marvel continues to create films on the big screen new superhero rival DC still miss the train. Panic from DC and Warner Bros. after mounting the films they worked on during the interval of The Dark Knight The Dark Knight Rises heading: Watchmen, Jonah Hex, and Green Lantern all fail financially. What else can they dig franchise when the trilogy of Batman saga will end? So DC was again turned to the greatest superhero: the man of steel.

World War Z

Problems, issues, and problems are things that keeps me reading of news concerned with the making of this film. Produced and starring Brad Pitt, World War Z had a long road and  turns in its transformation from novel to the big screen. Some times it happens overhaul filming even re-re-script to the end of the film which was considered out of sync with the previous sections. Because of all of this is the film World War Z experiencing withdrawal from the 2012 release schedule last year to this. Not only that its budget ballooned from 125 million USD to 200 million USD more. Are all these painstakingly make the results comparable to World War Z as a spectacle zombies different from most zombie movies?

Monsters University

Let's flashback moment in 2001 ... at a time when the world of 3D animation is still in the age of the child. Where Dreamworks just a little shocked the world with Shrek and present moment where the king that time, Pixar, getting his first challenge. In that year the new Pixar has two franchises: Toy Story (which at that time had become dwilogy) and A Bug's Life. It's no secret that the quality of dwilogi Toy Story is considered far superior rather than adventure flicks and his friends. The movie Monsters Inc. was released publicly wondered if Pixar magic will work for outside the Toy Story franchise?

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone

Now You See Me is not the first film in 2013 with the theme of magic. Before the film, starring multi-star of The Incredible Burt was there Wonderstone which is a magic-themed movie but taking the style of comedy in a statement. This film was predicted by the observer can generate huge profits for starring two famous comedians star Steve Carell and Jim Carrey. The last time the two met in the live-action film is Bruce Almighty - one of the most successful comedies of all time. Yet more decade has passed since then and Carell and Carrey is no longer as popular as they once were themselves. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone film failed miserably in the market both domestically and abroad, to make people question the ability of these two comedians capture the audience. Is this one of the two or indeed the film does not have a competent script?

White House Down

It's still fresh in my memory how the White House this year has fallen twice in the hands of terrorists and terrorist group Cobra Korea. But not finished building now sworn enemy of the White House ready ransacked again. Who else if not the enemy it seems Roland Emmerich revenge once the building on this one? But this time it's not an alien or a natural disaster that will destroy the White House, but the terrorists who hate the United States, Channing Tatum can save him?

The Call

Careers of Halle Berry could not go anywhere - even retroactively - after playing in X-Men: The Last Stand in 2006. Since the film's release Halle Berry never again make films that can penetrate 100 Million USD even had disappeared from circulation for several years. He did comeback to the film industry with several ensemble roles like New Year's Eve, Cloud Atlas, and Movie 43, but it was not successful. With the diminishing prestige  like this. Will Halle Berry raised the film The Call into a drama thriller story above average?

Despicable Me 2

In 2010 a new studio Illumination Entertainment Hollywood shocked when creating an animated film Despicable Me. The film was able to get a 250 Million USD over, a fantastic achievement for an original animated properties. In the world of the other Pixar animated film in the Shrek franchise from DreamWorks only are able to do this achievement. The spectacular achievement clearly makes Illumination Entertainment as a master craftsman of the Universal studio. Two films proved that they circulate the following: Hop and The Lorax are also able to achieve tremendous success. Three years after the film that made ​​them popular, Illumination Entertainment has released the sequel of the adventure continued Gru and the Minions of his. Could be as successful as the prequel?

The Lone Ranger

The days where The Lone Ranger is a popular past-time in which I was born. Although I was a child when the series was screened on TV popularity is receding so that I am more interested to watch the spectacle of a small child such as the Black Knights Steel and Power Rangers. The demise of the popularity of The Lone Ranger was not just happening here in America, but also there as evidenced by the absence of a new variant of the serial that worked for decades. This finally changed after Disney studio commissioned a successful team working on The Pirates of the Caribbean to resurrect this franchise.

The Numbers Station

Have any of you ever felt that the actor John Cusack type with Nicolas Cage? I mean the same type he had the look of 'pleading' and face fit mounted in a variety of genres without being seen out-of-place ranging from romantic comedy (Serendipity), quirky drama (High Fidelity), epic disaster (2012), to horror (1408) and much more. And whether accidental or not the career of John Cusack being the same money with Cage ... in other words being stagnant. The Numbers Station place Cusack movie as an action star in the thriller genre. Success?

How to Make Money Selling Drugs

Illicit drugs such as marijuana, ecstasy, heroin, and various kinds is a scourge that has gnawed the world for many years. Almost all states prohibit the trafficking of drugs like this, some countries even longer overtly impose the death penalty for people who circulate, wear, even carrying drugs. But it does not make the trafficking of drugs like this to stop. Instead they were trafficking drugs is increasing in volume from year to year. Is the drug war (war against drugs) conducted by the United States did not succeed?

The Greatest Movie Ever Sold

Morgan Spurlock is a documentary tiller different from the others. If Michael Moore made ​​a documentary with the usual sarcasm sarcastic about the state of American politics then Morgan Spurlock takes a different approach: humorous. The work debuted in 2004: Spurlock's Super Size Me made ​​into a film director who was nominated for Academy Awards - although he did not win it. After all it is a film that makes Morgan Spurlock became famous. Spurlock documentary films that can not follow the subsequent success of Super Size Me until finally he gets the next brilliant idea ...

Pacific Rim

Far away before a single person to know about the movie Pacific Rim  when I was listening to Guillermo Del Toro to make a movie about robots fighting monsters. Know because I am a nerd hear such a concept would feel like childhood dream fulfilled. But I keep my hopes for this project is currently just a rumor and there is not necessarily a pretty crazy movie studios want to give a big budget for Del Toro. Please note: The film industry is not in play and give the green light a movie like gambling with the money of hundreds of million USD!
