Kathryn Bigelow perfectly knows how to generate nail-biting suspense in an action movie. Her talent is rightly proved with her high voltage film “Hurt Locker” Her latest effort is tested with more testosterone than any recent action film. One may recall, she was totally responsible for the gloriously over-the-top cops and surfers thriller Point Break. This movie was extremely well crafted even if it lacked an intelligent plot as told by many. However, this movie is both well crafted and intelligent. The best ever film to portray the war in Iraq so far. Much more immediate distraction is the fear of death looming over them every day. The soldiers in this film do not sit around discussing U.S. foreign policy.
“The Hurt Locker” based on the Iraq War drama won best picture and five other prizes Sunday at the Academy Awards, its haul including best director for Kathryn Bigelow. Kathryn Bigelow also became the first woman in the Oscar historyto earn Hollywood’s top prize for filmmakers.
At the award ceremony Bigelow said “There’s no other way to describe it. It’s the moment of a lifetime,” The ex wife of Cameron also added that “It’s so extraordinary to be in the company of my fellow nominees, such powerful filmmakers, who have inspired me and I have admired, some of them for decades.”

Valentine’s Day is a movie without a single surprise. If you watch the movie right now, you will understand everything that wants to be said, and what will happen to all of the characters. You will also know if it’s a movie you will like. For me its a painfully unfunny romantic comedy.
An all-star ensemble cast comes together in “Valentine’s Day,” which follows the intertwining storylines of a diverse group of Los Angelinos as they navigate their way through romance and heartbreak over the course of one Valentine’s Day. Couples and singles experience the pinnacles and pitfalls of finding, keeping or ending relationships in a day in the life of love.
Directed by veteran filmmaker Garry Marshall, the film stars Jessica Alba (“Fantastic Four”), Academy Award® winner Kathy Bates (“Misery”), Jessica Biel (“I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry”), Bradley Cooper (“The Hangover”), Eric Dane (TV’s “Grey’s Anatomy”), Patrick Dempsey (“Enchanted”), Hector Elizondo (the “Princess Diaries” films), Academy Award® winner Jamie Foxx (“Ray”), Jennifer Garner (“Juno”), Topher Grace (“Spider-Man 3”), Academy Award® nominee Anne Hathaway (“Rachel Getting Married”), Ashton Kutcher (“What Happens in Vegas”), Academy Award® nominee Queen Latifah (“Chicago”), Taylor Lautner (“The Twilight Saga: New Moon”), George Lopez (“Beverly Hills Chihuahua”), Academy Award® winner Shirley MacLaine (“Terms of Endearment”), Emma Roberts (“Hotel for Dogs”), Academy Award® winner Julia Roberts (“Erin Brockovich”) and award-winning singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, in her feature film debut.

In some ways Joe Johnston’s The Wolfman didn’t have to do all that much to improve on its source material. The original 1941 film was a classic horror flick, full of pretentious dialogue and hammy actors and, yes, a few revolutionary effects shots that are remembered to this day. But with better technology to play with and a whole lot more money, Johnston had the opportunity to expand on some of the rich psychological territory of the original Wolf Man, and make it look glossier in the process.
But, its pitty on him, that he with a giant effects budget and no idea how to use it, Johnston gives us The Wolfman as a rambling, pseudo-Freudian house of horrors, with lots of things to jump out of us and look creepy but virtually nothing that’s truly scary. Displaying a bewildering performance from Benicio del Toro, who appears to be faking his American accent, and Anthony Hopkins swanning around a bedraggled mansion in tiger skins.
Cast of The WOLFMAN were quite excellent in this Horrorflick. Cinematic presentation is very good, but the film lacked any real depth. The story line is predictable, tired and does a poor job of bringing you into the characters emotions. Ultimately the Wolfman is a strange but a boring mess.
Avatar is set in a future in which we’re able to travel to distant planets and interact (read exploit) the natives. A huge corporation, backed by military forces to keep the peace, needs to mine a rare substance from the planet Pandora. Pandora’s populated with humanoid creatures known as the Na’vi. The Na’vi have blue skin, yellow eyes, elf ears, are incredibly athletic, and tall. They’re peaceful but can be fierce in battle, shooting arrows dipped in a toxin which kills almost instantaneously. In addition to the Na’vi, the planet is full of exotic-looking, dinosaur creatures, humongous birds which can be ridden in battle, and phosphorescent plants.
The substance the corporation is on Pandora to mine is located at the base of a giant tree, which is also the spiritual center of the Na’vi. The corporation is using a two-pronged attack to get to the substance. They’ve got the military out making excursions into hostile territory to try to get to the material. There’s also a scientific research arm of the company that’s working on making inroads with the natives through the use of avatars.
Mixing human and Na’vi DNA, creatures who look like the Na’vi can be manipulated by scientists linked to their own avatar. The scientist rests in a hyperbolic chamber, connects to his/her avatar, and thus is able to interact with the Na’vi. The head of the research program is Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver), a chain-smoking, no-nonsense scientist who doesn’t tolerate fools. Under her guidance, the Na’vi have learned to speak some English and together they’re working on trying to come to a peaceful solution.
