A genuinely suspenseful thriller featuring accomplished actresses in uncharacteristic roles, Hanna combines the considerable talents of Saoirse Roana, notable for her compelling performance in The Lovely Bones, and Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett. No longer a long-suffering ingénue, Ms. Roana plays Hanna herself, "the perfect killing machine," and Ms. Blanchett plays a ruthless intelligence agent with clear family ties to Cruella DeVille, Ma Barker, Catherine Tramell, and other stellar sociopaths. "Please suspend disbelief for Hanna's fundamental premise: Hanna's father, formerly CIA and now resident of Finland's rugged frontier, has trained his daughter to become the consummate assassin. Whether or not you find it plausible, you must admit it's not a bad idea: Who ever would suspect the innocent abroad would be hell-bent on killing? Well, okay, who but Blanchett's character? As Hanna evades capture and approaches her ultimate target, she discovers a character attribute which feels and acts surprisingly like a conscience. Remember the time-honoured themes in modern literature—good versus evil, and character versus his or her own human nature? Hanna updates and intensifies those themes in a well-paced, white-knuckle post-modern, girl-power package.

Could you imagine that Oz: The Great and Powerful, which is loosely based in L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was planned to be filmed by Disney since 1937? The rights for this movie was sold and resold for many times before, finally, Walt Disney Production acquired them and signed a contract with Sam Raimi to direct the film. Disney's series of decisions to reduce the filming costs had lead to unsuccessful negotiations with Robert Downey, Jr. and Johnny Depp for the leading role of Oscar Diggs/Oz, till, finally, James Franco was chosen for the role. You may remember him as Will Rodman form Rise of the Planet of the Apes. As the movie is the prequel for the core story The Wizard of Oz, there are no lovely Dorothy Gale, instead we have three witches. The Wicked Witch of the West, Theodora is portrayed by Mila Kunis which recently has had leading roles in Hell & Back and Friends with Benefits). Evanora The Wicked Witch of the East and the Ruler of the Munchkin Country is played by Rachel Weisz (The Bourne Legacy, To the Wonder); she inferiors in power of magic with Glinda the Good Witch of the South which is most powerful sorceress of Oz and is the ruler of the Quadling Country. In Disney's version of Oz: The Great and Powerful, Glinda is portrayed by Michelle Williams, which was quite smart decision, taking in consideration the amazing performance of Michelle Williams in My Week with Marilyn as Marilyn Monroe.

Hughes brothers exploit a very specific niche of "commercial cinema for nerds" filmed The Book of Eli, a western about the Second Coming. You haven't even know that Eli is the God in Aramaic, and generally have at least a minimal understanding of sacred texts. Simplicity and clarity of massage of the movie makes us expecting some more complex content. Especially because the atmosphere and style of the film is beyond any praises. They succeeded to create really juicy and truthful post-apocalyptic world, which filled with the atmosphere of despair, echoing, resonating basses and shot with the cold spectrum filters. A character of Washington is so cool in his calm relaxed state that somehow you really begin to believe that good actually has fists.

The first part of the trilogy has been filmed and turned into a tetralogy about a former CIA officer, Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), who received two bullets in the back and then successfully lost his memory while carrying out his regular secret government operation.To some extent, The Bourne Identity can be considered as an alternative entertainment instead of James Bond. There are more authentic spy stories, that are so massively directed by motion. At the same time, the background of both series are different enough, because the characters of both movies are on opposite sides of the spy job. Finally Bourne looks obviously more serious, more intelligent, more severe and more consistent than Bond, instead of glossy, cine sophistication and indolence of the last one."

A comedy caper about bank robbery makes for good and entertaining summer fair at the movies. Thirty Minutes or Less is produced by Ben Stiller and stars Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) as a pizza delivery guy named Nick. Seems Nick is kidnapped while out delivering pizzas, and with a bomb strapped to his chest, forced to rob a bank in a short amount of time. The bumbling duo of bank robbers to be are played by Danny McBride (Due Date, Up In The Air) as Dwayne and Nick Swardson (Bedtime Stories, You Don't Mess With the Zohan) as Travis. Dwayne puts a contract out on his own father, known as The Major (played by Fred Ward) for his insurance policy. And to pay for the murder for hire, he must come up with a big amount of cash quickly, thus the bank robbery. elivering pizzas (and robbing banks) can be dangerous work and this story idea is loosely based on an actual Erie, PA bank robbery back in 2003. 30 minutes or less was filmed in Grand Rapids, Michigan and the site of the bank robbery was a vacant bank in Ludington, Michigan.

I'll be back, he promised in a 1984 sci-fi action movie The Terminator , and we see how California ex-governor keeps his promise: "The Last Stand" features exactly that kind of Arnold Schwarzenegger as we have remembered since the times of The Terminator and Commando. His character Ray Owens is a sheriff in small peaceful town on the USA-Mexican border, reluctantly involved into the last stand of local policemen against the most wanted drug kingpin who just spectacularly escaped from FBI and now heading to the Mexican border in order to slide abroad as soon as possible speeding above 200 Mph on his Corvette ZR1 with a hostage in a tow. But Ray Owens is not just a sheriff, he is the former FBI anti-drug department officer recently retired after some bungled operation (and, what is more important, he is also ex-Terminator as we know). Of course, he could not stand aside, and this is where bloody massacre begins. We'll see Arnold Schwarzenegger with shotgun blowing out enemies brains; we'll see him with monstrous machine gun doing the same, etc. Furthermore, aside of these "special features" we will se definitely brilliant cast of actors: Rodrigo Santoro, Zach Gilford, Genesis Rodriguez, Forest Whitaker, Jaimie Alexander, Eduardo Noriega, Luis Guzmán, Johnny Knoxville – an exciting list, isn't it? However the most serious thing you need to know that this movie is the first American action film directed by Kim Ji-woon, a talented Korean cinematographer, worldwide known for his masterpieces: "The Good, the Bad, the Weird", "A Bittersweet Life" and "I Saw the Devil."
