The Rum Diary

Description

Hunter S. Thompson wrote the book The Rum Diary back in 1961 when he knew very well what the demon rum was all about. Even the screenplay writer/director, Bruce Robinson was familiar with boozing being had sworn off alcohol over six years before but went back to it just to finish the screenplay that writer's block was keeping him from completing. That's dedication! ohnny Depp (Ed Wood, Donnie Brasco) is freelance journalist Paul Kemp, himself one of those lost souls he writes about. Determined to self destruct it's obvious this rag tag bunch of humanities leftovers just seem to drink their lives away. But Kemp falls for a woman that brightens up his days. Chenault is played by Amber Heard (Pineapple Express, Zombieland) and is Kemp's obsession as he drinks his days away in Puerto Rico.hat makes a movie about drunks and their ability to consume volumes of fermented sugarcane (rum) interesting? It's about the lost souls that seem to have given up on life and what they leave behind, like lovers, families, and life they're afraid to face. And Thompson's writing makes it all seem to work perhaps because The Rum Diary is about his life...

Iron Man 3 is an American super-hero fantasy film scheduled to release in 2013. The movie is mostly based on the best of Marvel's Iron Man comics' series, "Extremis". In Iron Man 3, Tony Stark finds himself helpless before the menace that looms on him, his beloved ones and all the civilized humanity. His feels guilty for numerous deaths of his friends in the previous "Good vs. Evil" fights. He decides to change the world around himself, to make it less harmful both for personal guilt and happy and restful life of his folks. These attempts make world better break into pieces when powerful "Extremis" break loose in its turn. Referred as a virus, "Extremis" is not exactly what you think. It's a Super-Soldier Serum that consists of billions of programmable nano-robots. This army of robots invades the human brain and affects so called "Body's Repair Center". These nano-mediums totally erase all the original instructions that allows as to recover from wounds and replace these instructions with preprogrammed ones. The body fails to perform its basic functions and fails covered with serious injuries caused by "Extremis" action. Then the new program tells body's repair how to repair these wounds by replacing old tissues by new ones and even how to grow new organs. The better ones. The fact that this serum was produced at one of Stark factory's makes him feeling even guiltier. But there is no time to regrets, the Evil equipped with "Extremis" attacks a human world, and Iron Man is our last hope. Being defeated by virus-powered evil forces in the first round, Tony takes a frantic pace – he enchants his body with "Extremis" too. But his program for body's repair center makes quite big difference with the "bad guy's" one.

Captain America: The First Avenger

2011
Action & Adventure
Captain America: The First Avenger will not be just another one of those "ripped from the comics" movies that have become a 2011 Hollywood staple. No way. "Captain America himself looks remarkably fit for a super-hero who celebrated his seventieth birthday in 2011, and his box office prospects are remarkably sanguine, too. For all those years, Captain America consistently has ranked well-up the list of popular comic characters. Maybe not the sexiest man alive, but a perpetual contender, and always the consummate patriot. Therefore, producers, writers, directors, actors, cinematographers, all the grips, and even the craft services crew understand they have their hands full as they make Captain America: The First Avenger. Their main character is, after all, revered as the United States' bravest, noblest, most-selfless, and greatest hundred-and-one percent hero…ever. "Captain America: The First Avenger tells the story from the beginning. Our hero, Steve Rogers, is rejected for service in World War II—very highly motivated but sadly unfit physically. Determined to serve, Rogers volunteers for "Project: Rebirth," a super-secret project that gives him the ultimate make-over, making him a super-soldier. The brass dub him "Captain America" upon his completion of training. Teaming-up with intrepid sidekick Bucky Barnes, "The First Avenger" kicks some serious Nazi butt as he fights "Red Skull," director of advanced weaponry for the Reich. Well-funded, well cast, well-scripted, Captain America: The First Avenger promises to kick some serious box office butt in the summer of 2011, putting all those other comic movies to shame.
