Description

Dragonball Evolution is a 2009 American action-adventure film based on the Dragon Ball franchise. The film's story centers on the adventures of Goku, a young martial artist who discovers his destiny as a "Saiyan" and sets out to find the seven mystical orbs known as the Dragon Balls. Along the way, he must battle various villains who also seek the Dragon Balls for their own evil purposes.

The film received generally negative reviews from critics and fans of the Dragon Ball franchise alike. Many criticized the film's storyline, acting, and special effects, as well as the portrayal of the characters. The film's director, James Wong, later expressed his own dissatisfaction with the final product, citing studio interference and a rushed production schedule as factors that hindered the film's quality.

Despite its negative reception, Dragonball Evolution has gained a cult following among some fans of the franchise, who appreciate its campy, over-the-top nature. The film's legacy has also been felt in the broader anime and manga community, where it is often cited as an example of Hollywood's struggles to adapt Japanese properties to Western audiences. Nevertheless, the film remains a controversial and divisive entry in the Dragon Ball canon, and is generally regarded as a low point for the franchise's live-action adaptations.

Insidious

Insidious

Sci-Fi & Fantasy

If Insidious is anything like their previous effort (the SAW series) it will be a tremendous hit at the box office. The writer/director team of James Wan and Leigh Whannell definitely know how to scare the "bejesus" out of us. A happy couple Josh and Renai, played by Patrick Wilson (Watchmen) and Rose Byrne (Get Him to the Greek) think their lives are just about perfect. Three kids and a nice home make for a serene lifestyle until some unruly dark spirited ghosts begin tormenting them. Dalton, their son, is knocked out and ends up in a coma. Is his weak state drawing the scary entities or is it the house? After moving they find that the house may not have been the culprit of their fears."Excellent timing and the addition of some wry humor make this movie a cut above the normal "horror" flick and the actors are really good. For a small (one million dollar) budget, this movie stands a cut above the rest and will thoroughly entertain."

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Percy Jackson came to replace the "aging" Harry Potter. There are five books already written about the boy's adventures, so you will not be missing Potter for the long time. Rick Reordan, the author of Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief before becoming a writer, taught at the American school the ancient Greek literature and was a leader in summer camp, where he conceived the idea about the Half Blood. So kids, watching a movie will feel themselves like at the lesson of history in junior high, where it is very lucidly explained that children born from gods and humans, are called demigods, and that Athena has long feud with Poseidon. Of course, the situation that the Greek gods live in America, but still continue to enter into relations with ordinary citizens, looks more than a comic. But in the movie there is no explanation for this divine movement. If you forgive this fact, you will definitely consider Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief as a good adventure movie for the teenagers.
