Description

"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is a 2002 epic fantasy film directed by Peter Jackson, based on the second volume of J.R.R. Tolkien's novel "The Lord of the Rings." The story follows the divided fellowship's journey, with Frodo and Sam's attempt to destroy the One Ring, and Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli's efforts to rescue the hobbits Merry and Pippin from the clutches of the evil wizard Saruman. The film's ensemble cast includes Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Viggo Mortensen, and Sean Astin.

The Two Towers picks up where "The Fellowship of the Ring" left off, as Frodo, Sam, and Gollum continue their journey to Mordor to destroy the One Ring. Meanwhile, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli track Merry and Pippin's trail into the Fangorn Forest, where they meet the Ent Treebeard, who convinces them to fight against Saruman's forces. The forces of the wizard Saruman and the Dark Lord Sauron are on the rise, and the battle between good and evil is escalating.

The film received critical acclaim and was a box-office success, grossing over $950 million worldwide. It was praised for its direction, cinematography, performances, special effects, and music. The Two Towers was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and won two for Best Sound Editing and Best Visual Effects. It remains one of the most iconic and influential fantasy films of all time and helped establish Peter Jackson as a visionary filmmaker in the genre.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie was released in 2010, the year of "Ironman 2," "Harry Potter 7", and "Tron: Legacy". So, the producers and director of "Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader" clearly felt the pressure to deliver a visual masterpiece. Capitalizing on the special alchemy of 3D, they succeeded. "A painting engulfs Lucy and Edmund Pevensie and their cousin Eustace, taking them back to Narnia and stowing them away on sailing ship The Dawn Treader. The brave and somewhat precocious warriors battle a fierce collection of monsters and villains, resisting their own powerful temptations, as they join forces with Reepicheep, a warrior mouse, to save Narnia. The computer animators do so well with the Lion, the Mouse, and the fairy princess, viewers willingly suspend disbelief. Of course, a mouse can out-maneuver a chimera."The producers and director paid proper respect to C.S. Lewis, early twentieth century author and scholar, who penned the novel The Voyage of the Dawn Treader as one among his Chronicles of Narnia. Lewis, a leading authority on medieval quest romance, crafted his story according to the traditions and conventions of the hero's quest, and the movie wisely recreates his craftsmanship. The film-makers achieve an unlikely hybrid of medieval story and twenty-first century imagery. They left open the question, however: Would audiences overdosed on 3D graphics and epic adventures fill the seats for another one?
Looper

Looper

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you travel back in time and kill your grandmother before she will give you the birth? Right, you will never be born. That means you will never travel back in time and never will kill you grandmother. That's called "Time Paradox" or "Grandfather Paradox". There are lots of theories explicating why the paradox can be avoided. By the way there is quite exotic one: "Can-Not Because Has-Not" that presumes that no one has invented the time machine in the future, because if it'll happen we have had already knew this due to existence of arriving time travelers from the future. But how it is connected with Looper, the movie filmed by Rian Johnson in 2012? The answer is: very straight. In not-so-near future, in the year 2042, a mob hitman makes money by successfully assassinating human targets arriving from more distant future. Everything goes smoothly before he receives the new target: himself arriving from 2072… Now you understand why we had to begin with "Time Paradox". However, such a twisted storyline is only one crucial driving force of Looper. The brilliant cast is the second. A mob killer, Joe, is portrayed by two actors, and each of them is a big name in Hollywood scoreboard. The younger version of Joe is represented by Joseph Gordon-Levitt while the older one is played by Bruce Willis. If such a star cast, picturing one only character is not enough for you, we are glad to let you know about other names: Emily Blunt (The Adjustment Bureau, Young Victoria) Piper Perabo (Covert Affairs , Ashes, Carriers ) and Paul Dano (Being Flynn, Cowboys & Aliens). And after all of that, have any doubts if this film worth your time?
