‘Buried’ Movie Featured Tons Cool Drama
Lionsgate released a new Ryan Reynolds branded,mystery/thriller movie called "Buried" into theaters a couple months ago. I checked it out the other night,and I agree with the top critics' positive assessment of the movie.
I think the movie delivered a really unique story with tons of drama. However, I think I developed a case of claustrophobia by watching it and imagining if I was buried alive in a coffin. The film stars: Ryan Reynolds and Jose Maria Yazpik.
The film revolved around Paul Conroy who is a truck driver over in Iraq,and wakes up to find himself buried alive inside of a wooden coffin,tied up with a cigarette lighter,cell phone,some glow lights,knife,and a flickering flash light. However,he finds out about all these tools as the movie rolls along.
He starts panicking. As the film continues, he's able to untie himself,get the lighter,and calls every damn body he knows. After getting a couple of answering machines and leaving a few messages, he's eventually connected with a hostage specialist in Iraq who is working frantically to try and find him.
Paul eventually receives a few calls from his kidnappers,demanding $5 million dollars from the embassy for his release. Later on,a series of bombing events make it more difficult for the hostage specialist to find him,and the movie concludes with a shocking finale.
I thought the film was excellent. Even though it was about an hour and 20 minutes of just Ryan Reynolds' character trapped in a coffin,it still managed to feature some very exciting scenes. There were a few things that caused other things to enter the coffin with him that weren't good for his health,and it was cool to see what he did to get out of those situations with his very limited resources.
The Buried movie damn near gave me claustrophobia just watching it because these movies are really good at bringing a person's mind into the world of it,and it was very hard to imagine being trapped in a coffin like that. It had me wondering what the hell I would do if that ever happened to me. It was quite interesting and unique. I gave it a grade A for the authenticity alone.

‘Easy A’ Movie Review
Sony recently released their new comedy/action film entitled, "Easy A" into theaters a few months ago. I finally watched it the other day,and I agree with the top critics' positive reviews on this flick. It was an excellent movie.
Ms. Emma Stone should be a comedian because she was a total riot in this flick. Her and Amanda Bynes totally delivered some good drama and comedy. The film stars: Emma Stone, Penn Badgley, Amanda Bynes, Thomas Haden Church, Patricia Clarkson, Cam Gigandet, Lisa Kudrow, Malcolm MacDowell, Aly Michalka, and Stanley Tucci.
The film focused on Olive (Emma Stone) who,one day, gives into her friend's intense desires for her to tell her she finally got it on with a college guy. Soon enough,the rumor spreads rapidly throughout the whole school. And,all of a sudden, Olive goes from being unpopular most of the time to being always stared at and talked about. It also doesn't go over with self righteous Christian freak Marianne (Bynes) who constantly tells Olive she needs to beg for forgiveness from her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Nothing stops there. Olive eventually helps out her gay friend named Brandon from continuing to get picked on by pretending to have sex with him. From that point, the rumors got worse,but Olive embraced them,and continued to help create more of them by taking offers from other guys. As the hype of her being easy continues to perpetuate,she plays the role very convincingly by wearing skimpy outfits with the letter "A" sown into them.
However, towards the end,one final incident makes Olive want to set the true record straight. In my opinion, the movie was hysterical as it featured scenes,which showed Olive making fake sex noises with Brandon,lots of fast,witty comebacks,Olive's mother revealing that she was a whore in her high school days,and more.
The movie delivered non-stop laughs. It never had a boring moment,and kept me highly entertained the entire hour and a half. That Emma Stone is a jewel of an actress. This movie made me a big fan of hers. It was cool to see Amanda Bynes return to the big screen . She was also very funny. Gossip Girl's Penn Badgley did a great job as the cool,calm,collective guy named Woodchuck Todd. If you want to laugh your butt off,definitely check out this movie. I gave it an easy "A+.".

‘The Rite’ Movie Review
New Line Cinema recently released a new Anthony Hopkins,branded thriller/horror film "The Rite" into movie theaters. I just watched it,and thought it was pretty good. It delivered a ton of intense exorcism scenes with actor Anthony Hopkins. It stars: Anthony Hopkins, Colin O'Donoghue, Alice Braga, Ciaran Hinds,and Rutger Hauer.
The film revolved around Michael and Father Lucas. Michael is a new Priest who has issues with his own faith. He doubts the Devil exists as well as these so-called Demonic possessions. The film often showed flashbacks to Michael's childhood where he first started to develop his faith issues when his father died.
Michael ends up traveling to Italy to learn about exorcism from Father Lucas because his American teacher thought he needed to get some "hands on" experience with exorcism since he showed so much doubt. As soon as he arrives at Lucas' house,he gets introduced to his first live exorcism with a girl who is pregnant,and goes in and out of possessions.
Even after Michael sees a ton of convincing evidence of possession,he still feels doubt for the faith. The possessed girl spits out nails,blood,her voice gets crazy deep,her body contorts,along with other kinds of weird stuff,but Michael still swears she just needs to see a psychiatrist for this issue.
Eventually, Michael starts getting issues of his own,which were brought on by weird dreams he had about his dead father. Father Lucas tries to help him through his issues. However, Michael's doubting faith gets put to a major test when the demon possesses someone he never thought it would possess,and if Michael doesn't collect some faith fast,his life and other's lives are definitely in danger.
Michael and his girlfriend are standing in the room while the possession is going on,and things get very rough. Michael gets put in a very dangerous position,and has to deal with his faith issues and problems with God to overcome what is getting ready to destroy him. The conclusion was very intense and kept me on the edge of my seat.
I thought the film was quite entertaining and intriguing, but there were some slow moments during the movie where I found myself dosing off a bit. However, when things picked up,they picked up in a huge way. It featured a lot of strong, intense moments. The exorcism scenes were really disturbing and compelling. I gave the film a B grade.

‘Skyline’ Movie Review
Universal Pictures recently released a new sci-fi/thriller movie "Skyline" into theaters a couple months ago. I just checked it out. While it was exciting to watch,all the action and "edge of your seat scenes" lead up to no payoff in the end. It was very odd. It stars: Eric Balfour, Donald Faison, Scottie Thompson,and Brittany Daniel.
The film revolved around a group of six partying male characters and female characters who have a great time,partying the night before,but the next morning, everything changes in a bad way as weird lights and noises wake everyone up. Then they realize this crazy,odd light isn't good. In fact, it controls anyone who looks at it and sucks them away for good.
The group of friends start to immediately panic,and try to carry out a plan that involved getting in the car,and making a run for it. However they quickly find out that isn't a good idea as the giant alien creatures show up everywhere,and they're not friendly. The group of friends start getting killed until they dwindle down to just two people Jarrod and Elaine.
They end up emerging as the main stars of the flick. However,they aren't victorious stars. They start running around everywhere,fighting off the giant creatures,along with the military forces that have been brought in to help fight the creatures.
Skyline showed a lot of graphic,"edge of your seat" moments,which included people getting sucked into the creature,people's heads being separated from their bodies,Jarrod fighting his heart out to try and save Elaine,lots of guns being fired,and bombs blowing up.
It concluded with a really strange ending that showed what the aliens were doing with all the bodies they collected. However,there was absolutely no payoff at all. It was a very strange way to end an intense action thriller. As I left the theater, I heard a woman say, "I want my money back." It definitely was not the typical ending for a horror movie,and was kind of disappointing for me. However, everything in the film before that was really cool to watch,and kept me on the edge of my seat. I gave this movie a cool B- grade.

‘Unstoppable’ Movie Review
20th Century Fox recently released a new drama,action,thriller film called "Unstoppable" into theaters two months ago. I just watched it,and I thought that it was an absolutely fantastic movie.
I really enjoyed every moment of this movie until the very end. It brought tons of thrilling excitement,along with good drama and action. The film stars: Denzel Washington, Chris Pine, Rosario Dawson,and Kevin Chapman.
"Unstoppable" is based on actual events and centered around veteran train engineer Frank (Washington) and a young conductor named Will (Pine). They start off with a bumpy relationship as Frank is a bit upset that they're giving all the good jobs to the new younger guys. Eventually, they manage to get along well enough to get the train moving on its course.
In another area,a very immature train driver named Dewey decides to hop off his train while it's still moving so he can pull a switch. Needless to say, the train gets away from him with the air breaks detached and the controls are set to full throttle. Character Connie, who is the railroad controller,is made aware of the situation and tries to set some stops in place.
The unmanned,moving train gets to the point where it picks up too much speed for the stops to work. Corporate ignores Connie's advice to try and derail the train before it makes its way to crowded towns. They try to slow it down from the front,but that fails to work,and the train starts heading for a fatal destination.
Will and Frank end up deciding to go after the unmanned train on their own. They try to stop it from the back with a single car train. However, after a huge effort to attach themselves to the train,they realize that it has way too much power for them to stop it.
The two of them climbed over train cars,pulled the breaks on every car individually,and finally got to the front of the train to stop it. And they were,of course, being covered by lots of TV news stations. I really dug this movie. It was highly entertaining.
It was very simple and to the point. A dangerous unmanned train was on the loose, they needed to stop it. They did it in a very high intense,dramatic fashion that left me saying, "Wow, that was awesome." I gave this movie a definite A+.

Dexter Season 5, Episode 2: “Hello Bandit” Recap (Part 2)
There's a bit of relationship material in this episode. First there's the legitimate question of what exactly is going on with Debra and Quinn following their frenzied bit of sexual fun last episode.
Quinn seems eager to move things along, or at least re-live the moment. Debra on the other hand prefers to pretend that it didn't even occur, quite literally in fact as she tells Quinn flat out that "it never happened." While the pairing of the two in a way that goes beyond working partners still seems out of place it's being handled well. It's frankly a bit of relief that the show didn't quickly launch the two into anything serious. By contrast the relationship between Laguerta and Batista continues to be the weakest link of the show. The pair are still trying to get things to work completely following hasty marriage the previous season. Not only is the relationship between the two not particularly interesting, it's quickly becoming the defining feature of both characters.
Both are becoming less enjoyable to watch as it's only a matter of time before one or the other complains about their relationship.
Despite the pointlessness of the Laguerta/Batista relationship and the questionable wisdom of what's being done with Debra and Quinn this is still a strong episode. It's comforting to see Dexter start to get back to what he does best, especially since it's become clear by this point that Rita's death him harder than he probably ever thought was possible. Much of the groundwork for the season is being laid in this episode.
Boyd was confirmed to fit the code but Dexter hadn't yet made his move against him by the end of the episode, though that will likely get resolved in the next one. The decapitation killing is probably going to lead to a season long killer that the Miami Metro (if not Dexter himself) will be tracking. The decision to remove Astor and Cody, at least for the time being, was probably for the best. It's important that Dexter try to find his stability again and that would have been next to impossible if he had to juggle three kids (it'll be hard enough with just the baby.)
While there are a few clear paths for the show to take at this point exactly where Dexter himself is headed is still very just up in the air. That sense of possibility for the main character is part of what makes this show impossible to not watch every week.

Dexter Season 5, Episode 2: “Hello Bandit” Recap (Part 1)
Dexter is still reeling from the death of Rita at the end of the last season. He was so shaken that he nearly left everything behind to flee the country at the end of the last episode. However he did return, re-dedicated to doing what is best for what is left of his family.
The first thing that Dexter must face is the FBI interrogation that he skipped out on last episode. This actually turned out to be a bit of a tease, as the FBI knows conclusively that Dexter couldn't have killed his wife. So it really was just the formality that they told him it was. And this is certainly a good thing since Debra's partner Quinn continues to nose around Dexter.
If the FBI had been on Dexter's case at the same time it would have been redundant.
Dexter's first mission is to find a place for him and the kids to live. Having made the decision to not return to the house where Rita was murdered, Dexter and all three kids are forced to crash at Debra's apartment (formerly Dexter's.) This living situation does little to alleviate the tension that is brewing in the broken home. While young Cody seems to be coping as well as can be expected this is most definitely not the case with teenage Astor.
She had started to become a surly teen the previous season and now she has the perfect target for all her anger: Dexter. By the end of the episode it's clear that Astor's anger towards her would-be father figure isn't so much that she blames him for Rita's death, it's wonderfully more complicated than that.
Astor blames Dexter for coming into their lives and making them believe that everything could be OK. With all of that hope yanked out from under her Astor has come to the conclusion that she would rather Dexter had never come into their lives to offer that fleeting hope in the first place. At the end of the episode Astor puts her foot down and says she doesn't want to live with Dexter and would rather be with her grandparents. Not wanting to break the two of them up Dexter sends Cody off along with her, even though the younger boy doesn't want to go. This leaves Dexter with only his infant son Harrison, the rest of the family he had build now either dead or sent away.
While Dexter is taking time off from work (much to the chagrin of his blood-work hating colleague Masuka) the detectives at Miami Metro homicide come across a particularly brutal killing. A woman's head is found in a park with her tongue cut out and her eyes removed. The first instinct is to label it as a drug related killing. However an officer who works the local beat (played by series newcomer April Lee Hernandez) suggests that it may be linked to a rumored cult.
Quinn is quick to dismiss the notion, however Debra seems to feel that there might be something to the idea. When the husband of the victim is found dead by what appears to be a suicide the mystery deepens.
While removing his belongings from the house he shared with Rita, Dexter spots a drop of blood in the moving van. This seemingly innocuous piece of evidence soon leads Dexter to his next potential victim: a department of health worker named Boyd (Shawn Hatosy ) specializing in dead animal removal. The urge to take up the hunt once more is one that Dexter at first resists. However he soon rationalizes the choice to look into Boyd further, even as his visions of Harry seem to question his reasoning. Dexter concludes that killing keeps him sharp and focused, so the better killer he is the better father he will be. Boyd is a somewhat run of the mill catch for Dexter, which is probably exactly what he needs right now.

Dexter Season 5, Episode 1: “My Bad” Recap (Part 2)
Dexter clearly feels some level of guilt at what has happened, knowing that it is his fault for not killing Arthur sooner. However it does not present in the normal way that grief would in most people, leaving him rather adrift. Even the visions of his adopted father and mentor Harry, which normally serve as the closest thing he has to a conscience, seem to have abandoned him. Flashbacks to Dexter's very first date with Rita also show the depth of Dexter's guilt as he remembers the lies he told her right from the very beginning.
When Rita's children, Astor and Cody, return from Disneyland with their grandparents Dexter is forced to break the news to them. Dexter fumbles through it clumsily, even going so far as to resort to the "I'm sorry for your loss" line that the funeral home director had used on him. While most of the family dissolves into grief Astor turns to anger at Dexter.
She blames him for not being there to protect her mother and wishes that it had been him who had died. Dexter takes the notion that they would all be better off without him to heart and begins planning to disappear for good.
Meanwhile Debra goes to Dexter's house to clean up the crime scene, and Quinn comes along to help. Following the clean up Debra breaks down and quickly finds herself in the arms of Quinn and things get very physical very fast from there.
Debra seems to immediately regret it, and practically flees the house. This gives Quinn an excuse to talk to the neighbor who had been crying at the sight of Rita being carried out dead on a stretcher. The neighbor confides in Quinn about the kiss and also says that Dexter punched him over it. Quinn tries to relay this to Laguerta, who responds only with anger, not wanting to deal with this case at all.
Finally Dexter packs his boat with only the essentials, burns his storage container that had served as his killing office, and heads out. In doing so he misses his "interview" with the FBI and friends and family are left standing at Rita's funeral wondering if he will show up. When Dexter stops to fuel up his boat he encounters an aggressive and rather heartless man at the seemingly abandoned fueling station. Dexter follows him into the bathroom and in a fit of rage beats him to death with an anchor. Harry appears to Dexter once again saying that this was "the most human thing" that Dexter has done since Rita dies.

Television’s “Smallville Season 10″ Continues To Shine
On January 18, 2007, Smallville finally introduced the Justice League of America (JLA). The audience had, of course, been introduced to various members of the JLA over the course of the last few years, beginning with Bart Allen (the would-be Flash) and eventually culminating with Oliver Queen (The Green Arrow).
With the introduction of a new super hero the audience began to suspect that, at some point, the JLA would be brought together. However, the writers and producers took their time in developing the story so that it would have the kind of impact worthy of the Justice League.
It also gave Tom Welling the time to masterfully show every aspect and each nuance of Clark's multi-faceted personality, which was necessary to explain how he would eventually see the value in a joint effort of these various heroes. It was well worth the wait.
diesel - Vídeos - Videos Autocity - is one more article for you.
Over the course of this season's Smallville episodes the audience has had more time to get used to and understand The Green Arrow. Obviously the writers felt that the development of this character and his association with Clark Kent were key to the final pay off. The audience watched them grow from protagonists to eventually form an alliance, albeit a somewhat rocky one.
As this new comradeship between Queen and Kent began to take hold, it became obvious that the once strong friendship between Clark Kent and Lex Luthor stood no chance of survival. As Luthor became more determined to uncover Clark's deep dark secret, he willingly threw himself into dark places from which it was obvious he could never return. The wedge driven between Clark, Lex, and Lana Lang (Clark's ex-girlfriend; now Lex's fiance) became too large, too heavy, and too burdensome.
In the January 18th episode, Chloe Sullivan - - the Daily Planet's intrepid reporter - - attempts to uncover information on Lex's 33.1 experiments. Both she and Clark know that Lex is up to something and that it involves other individuals with super powers that they obstensively received from exposure to the meteorite rocks that resulted from the explosion of Krypton. However, unbeknownst to them, Oliver Queen, - - AKA The Green Arrow - -is also aware of the experiments that Luthor is conducting. He enlists the help of Bart Allan to use his superspeed powers to retrieve important computer data. Unfortunately, Bart is caught in a Luthor trap. Queen calls on his other cohorts Arthur Curry - - AKA Aquaman - - and Victor Stone - - AKA Cyborg for assistance.

Television’s “Smallville Season 10″ Continues To Shine (part 2)
At the same time, Clark and Chloe discover that Bart is missing and it doesn't take them long to figure out what Lex has in mind for the young hero. Clark rushes off to save Bart while Chloe meets with Queen to fill him in on Luthor's plot.
However, as she is viewing the blueprints of the Luthor facility she realizes that part of the building is obviously built to contain meteor rock, which is, of course, Kryptonite; deadly to Clark. Queen and his team move in to rescue both Bart and Clark while also managing to destroy the Luthor facility.
Finally, Clark sees the validity of the work that the newly formed team, soon to be named the Justice League, is committed to accomplishing. Queen asks him to join and he lets the team know that he wants to; however, he explains that he must first clean up the mess he made by releasing criminals from the Phantom Zone. Queen encourages him not to wait too long as information retrieved by Cyborg indicates that Luthor is setting up 33.1 facilities all over the world, aimed at dissecting more people with unusual powers.

This episode obviously opens the door for more episodes involving the JLA or even for an eventual spin-off series. At this point that is anyone's guess. But even it nothing further were to come of the Justice League, the audience was treated to another piece of the Superman saga; an important piece, at that. The episode also drew the final line in the sand between Clark and Lex, setting the stage for the intensity of this well-known rivalry.
Both Michael Rosenbaum and Tom Welling have grown immeasurably as actors over the course of Smallville's history. Both of these outstanding actors can speak volumes with a single set of their lips, a look in their eyes, or a clinch of their hands. Gone now is that once wistful expression that they used to get when the audience knew they wished they could return to earlier, happier times as friends.
All that is left is steely resolve; both vowing to win over the other.
