Black Adam

Description

Black Adam is a 2022 American superhero film that follows the story of an ancient superhuman named Teth-Adam or Black Adam. Produced by New Line Cinema, DC Films, Seven Bucks Productions, and FlynnPictureCo. and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, the movie is a spin-off to Shazam! (2019) and the 11th film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Dwayne Johnson plays the role of Black Adam, who is released from his magical imprisonment by a group of archaeologists to free the nation of Kahndaq from a crime syndicate known as Intergang. Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, Sarah Shahi, Marwan Kenzari, Quintessa Swindell, and Pierce Brosnan appear in supporting roles.

Johnson was initially set to portray the villain Black Adam in Shazam! but later convinced the producers to give the character his own film. The screenplay was written by Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines, and Sohrab Noshirvani, with Jaume Collet-Serra directing. The film was originally planned to be released in December 2021, but the COVID-19 pandemic caused delays. Filming took place from April to August 2021 at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, and also in Los Angeles.

Black Adam had its world premiere in Mexico City on October 3, 2022, and was released in the United States on October 21. The movie received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $393 million worldwide. However, the film was widely labeled as a box-office bomb after marketing and distribution costs were factored in. Despite the mixed reviews, Johnson's portrayal of Black Adam was praised by many viewers, and a sequel is currently in development.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

2013
Action & Adventure
Tommy Wirkola's Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters storyline is set the fifteen years after the events described in Brothers' Grimm book "Hansel and Gretel" which was written in 1812. The story of Grimm's characters, two siblings Hansel and Gretel, is well known around the world. Two children were left deep in the forest by their merciless father and stepmother provoked him to do such a horrible thing. After the days of wandering and starving, siblings have encountered a strange house built of gingerbreads, cakes and caramel. Hungry children began to eat the house walls when "very old woman" came out of house and greeted poor children, welcoming them to enter her abode, promising to feed them and give them a rest in soft and clean beds. The reality was that "very old woman" was nothing more than a ordinary witch willing to cook and eat Hansel and Gretel. However, smart siblings recognize her true intentions and happily escape home outwitting the old with by luring her into the oven. Besides this, they have stolen most of her gold, making them and their father incredibly rich (thanks to God their evil stepmother were dead by unknown reason by this time.) Coming back to the movie, after the fifteen years Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton) became the professional witch hunters equipped by the last word of modern warfare industry of those times: pneumatic shotguns, arbalests etc. The nice pair was hired by the Mayor of Augsburg to track down and slay the most powerful witches of that region. This easy at the first look task, is going to be much more complicated as the local Sheriff, named Berringer (Peter Stormare), steps into this business. The movie is colorful by all the meanings: the horror, action, black humor and awesome witches are united in one watchworthy story – what could be better? As per witches, they are really great. Just imagine Monique Ganderton, Joanna Kulig, Ingrid Bolso Berdal, Zoe Bell as the 3D-enchanced furiously powerful godless creatures and Renner with Arterton exterminating them. Huh?
