Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

Description

"Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" is a 1987 superhero film directed by Sidney J. Furie and starring Christopher Reeve as Superman. It is the fourth and final film in the original Superman film series, and follows Superman as he attempts to rid the world of nuclear weapons and prevent a global catastrophe. The film also stars Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor, Margot Kidder as Lois Lane, and Jon Cryer as Lenny Luthor.

The film received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and audiences alike, who criticized the film's poor special effects, weak script, and lack of originality. It was also a box office failure, grossing only $15.6 million against a budget of $17 million. The negative reception of "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" effectively ended the original Superman film series, and the character would not appear in another live-action film until "Superman Returns" in 2006.

Despite its poor reception, "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" has since gained a cult following among fans of the character and the film series. Some have praised its message of peace and nuclear disarmament, while others appreciate its campy, B-movie charm. However, the film is still generally regarded as a low point in the Superman film franchise and a cautionary tale for filmmakers looking to adapt comic book characters to the big screen.

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.

Hit and Run

At the first glance Hit and Run (2012) looks like Knockin' on Heaven's Door (1997) combined with Drive (2011), which is causing some negative expectations, taking into consideration the fact of how many times Knockin' on Heaven's Door was cloned, mostly in disastrous manner. But, it only at the first look, the second one will be stopped in state of total quandary by ill-fitting Bradley Cooper dreads. Bradley is hardly recognizable in Hit and Run, but it's still him playing the partner of former motorcyclist Charlie Bronson with a kind of "shady" past. The movie plot is based on quite untwisted screenplay written by Dax Shepard (who has directed film, too, and played the main protagonist), the story about mad driver who risked everything busting Witness Protection Program, for the sake of one single aim: to bring his beautiful fiancée to Los Angeles where she gets her dream job. If you are about to say something like: "what a stupid idea: to risk your life for girlfriend job?" you better just stop, take a deep breath and rethink it, maybe you'll do the same if gorgeous Kristen Bell was your girlfriend. Changed your mind, duh? Oh, yes, the Kristen and Bradley duo will definitely make you wishing to watch this movie. But let's go back to the plot: while driving to LA, the couple will encounter lots of awkward adventurous including: ex-gang mobs chasing Charlie, his partner seeking buried treasures from criminal past, and, of course cops sitting on their tails.

Each story has a beginning and an ending. Apparently, in order to prolong the fans' pleasure of this long-awaited saga's finale about the young wizard, Warner Bros. Pictures have decided to split into two parts Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movie. The first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movie tells of the adventures of three young wizards: Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) without support and patronage of his mentors and senior friends. Now they can count only on themselves and have to find and destroy all the mysterious Horcruxes, objects containing a piece of Voldemort's soul - the sworn enemy of Harry Potter, and yes, in general, of the whole world too. It is desirable to do so as quickly as possible – because as long as friends are seeking for Horcruxes, Voldemort takes over at Hogwarts, subordinates the Ministry Magic , and going to subjugate the entire world. Harry, Ron and Hermione receive three items as a Dumbledore's testament , which in a strange way connected with the objects of their search, but which way?... only captured the forces of Evil and almost get killed, they managed to understand the true purpose of objects bequeathed by Dumbledore . At this point, Voldemort makes his first step to getting the three powerful artifacts. In case he owns them he could become the most powerful magician in the universe.
Gulliver's Travels

Gulliver's Travels

2010
Action & Adventure
Irish author Jonathan Swift first published Gulliver's Travels in 1726, and it became an immediate sensation. Since then, Gulliver's Travels never has gone out-of-print, and its twenty-first century sales remain nearly as robust as they were in the sixteenth. Universally acknowledged as a classic of British literature, Swift's wonderwork scathingly satirizes human nature and parodies "travellers' tales." Not surprising, then, Hollywood has attempted to bring Gulliver's story to life on film in every decade since the medium was invented. Typically, the special effects have failed to keep pace with Swift's imagination. In the story's latest reprise, a slightly modernized version, the special effects are up to the challenge, but the question emerges, "Is Jack Black up to it?" Black has disappointed fans with his last couple of ventures, but critics say he looks "at ease" as he goes for "big" laughs in the land of the Lilliputians. The producers and director have built-in a few features to give Black a healthy bounce: Updating the story, they show Gulliver as a contemporary mailroom guy who finally catches a break, winning a travel-writing assignment in the Bermuda Triangle. 3D has gotta help the contrast between big Gulliver and little Lilliputians, and an all-star supporting cast is expected to bring out the best of Black's comic gifts.
