Struck by Lightning

Description

Filmed in 2011 during Glee hiatus; premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in 2012 then released worldwide in January 2013, Struck by Lightning is the second film produced by the Glee idol, Chris Colfer after his directorial debut The Little Leftover Witch made under the contract with Disney. Chris has written a screenplay for Struck by Lightning and played the leading role. The movie revolves around the flashbacks of main character, Carson Phillips who was stricken by the deathly lightning bolt. Before he dies he experiences the colorful memories about the last years of his life. He ran a literary magazine at Clover High School and in order to get a material constantly blackmailed his classmates – in most cases very successfully. Besides the genuine Chris Colfer's play we enjoy the performances of Sarah Hyland (April Apocalypse, Conception, Gay Dude) and Christina Hendricks (Seconds of Pleasure, How to Catch a Monster, Ginger & Rosa) accompanied by spontaneous Bachelorette star Rebel Wilson (Pitch Perfect, Pain & Gain, What to Expect When You're Expecting). Carson's parents are portrayed by Allison Janney (Lucky Them, Bad Words, Trust Me) and Dermot Mulroney (Space Warriors, Jobs, Stoker).

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

Previously known as Tyler Perry Presents Peeples, this movie represents best practice of the genre. The product of Tyler Perry's genius combined with fresh look of debuting director Tina Gordon Chism worth two hours of your attention for sure. It's not exactly Medea's-like comedy with Tyler Perry dressed as big and monstrous Afro-American woman, Peeples (2013) is more like Our Family Wedding filmed a year ago in 2012. It's funny, spontaneous, lively yet ironic. The action of Peeples revolves around the events at the reunion. A wealthy big family gathers in small town to enjoy each other company. The situation is heating up when Wade Walker, a young infamous "looser", decides to ask a hand of Peeples' lovely daughter Grace' at the pivotal point this rejoicing . This out of the blue surprise causes the effect of chain reaction, which ignites an extraordinary comic turmoil in Hamptons. Nevertheless, Wade Walker has to learn that there are different kinds of Peeples and even the "worst" of them could not be a serious obstacle for true love. Although, Peeples is a directorial debut of Tina Gordon Chism, who was previously known mostly as writer (ATL, Drumline), she managed to gather some brilliant cast: Kerry Washington (Olivia Pope from Scandal, Broomhilda von Schaft from Django Unchained) plays as Grace Peeples, while Craig Robinson (Hot Tub Time Machine, Eastbound & Down) plays as Wade Walker.
Zookeeper

Zookeeper

2011
Comedy & Humor
Zookeeper immediately deserves nomination for the "Cute" Hall of Fame. Or "precious" or "adorable" or one of those ever so warm and friendly adjectives that describe both people and animals you just want to hug with all your might. You must understand that the animals star in Zookeeper, and the people are the supporting cast. Naturally teddy-bearish Kevin James stars as Griffin Keyes, long-time zookeeper who doesn't get out much. More at home with his critters than members of his own species, the zookeeper bravely resolves to leave the zoo and venture out into the bigger world, where he hopes, naturally enough, he can get a life and get a girl. When the animals ferret-out Griffin's plan, they feel so desperately heart-broken they elect to break their "code of silence," revealing not only that they can talk but also that they have quite a bit to say on questions of love, romance, and mating. Rosario Dawson plays Kate, "the girl." The animals, of course, conspire to help their boy win the girl and to keep their happy family together. Seriously, how cute is that!"Zookeeper features an exceptionally high-powered collection of voice talents: Adam Sandler plays a Capuchin monkey, Cher appropriately plays a lioness opposite Sylvester Stallone's lion, Billy Crystal plays a llama, and the venerable Don Rickles gives us his very best frog. And that's just the headliners. Zookeeper also has the strange distinction of going into the film history books as the last movie MGM studios wrapped before it went into bankruptcy. That part isn't cute—just quirky.
