The Rum Diary

Rambo: First Blood Part II is an action movie that was released in 1985. The movie is the second installment in the Rambo franchise and follows John Rambo, a former Green Beret, as he is sent back to Vietnam to locate and rescue American prisoners of war. Along the way, Rambo faces danger and betrayal, and must rely on his combat skills to survive.

Ninja Assassin stands in the same discipline as the "300" and does not exclude the possibility that even gets to windward it by part of naturalistic massacre. The blood and meat, at least is not worse, than at the best slaughterhouses, and a number of overly dark scenes fully offset by a crazy drive in all other battles with the stabbing. The plot about love, revenge, betrayal is not limit of perfection, of course, but looks as a necessary evil. However, there are no too overextended pauses between the massacre, massacre and massacre again…

Seems the prison, which is located deep in space, has been taken over by prisoners and there is a Lock-Out in progress.iolent inmates seem to have the upper edge but Snow is determined to free the young woman and gain his freedom at the same time. Snow is portrayed by Guy Pearce from Rules of Engagement and The Hurt Locker is one mean "good guy" who knows all about breaking the rules. He goes after Emillie Warnock (Maggie Grace from Malice in Wonderland and TV series Lost) who is the captured daughter of the U.S. President. What happens next is violence and mayhem at its best and film maker Luc Besson seems to have successfully graduated from "epic" films to action packed adventure.

Could you imagine that Oz: The Great and Powerful, which is loosely based in L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was planned to be filmed by Disney since 1937? The rights for this movie was sold and resold for many times before, finally, Walt Disney Production acquired them and signed a contract with Sam Raimi to direct the film. Disney's series of decisions to reduce the filming costs had lead to unsuccessful negotiations with Robert Downey, Jr. and Johnny Depp for the leading role of Oscar Diggs/Oz, till, finally, James Franco was chosen for the role. You may remember him as Will Rodman form Rise of the Planet of the Apes. As the movie is the prequel for the core story The Wizard of Oz, there are no lovely Dorothy Gale, instead we have three witches. The Wicked Witch of the West, Theodora is portrayed by Mila Kunis which recently has had leading roles in Hell & Back and Friends with Benefits). Evanora The Wicked Witch of the East and the Ruler of the Munchkin Country is played by Rachel Weisz (The Bourne Legacy, To the Wonder); she inferiors in power of magic with Glinda the Good Witch of the South which is most powerful sorceress of Oz and is the ruler of the Quadling Country. In Disney's version of Oz: The Great and Powerful, Glinda is portrayed by Michelle Williams, which was quite smart decision, taking in consideration the amazing performance of Michelle Williams in My Week with Marilyn as Marilyn Monroe.

In a more sophisticated "golden age" when American public schools actually taught people to read, Hollywood made movies from literature—Grapes of Wrath, for example, or To Have and Have Not. According to Oliver Stone, in the 1990s, film became the literature of the age. In 2011, driven by a fetish for "CG integration," Hollywood adopted the comic book as its model of choice. Not "the graphic novel," which has a slightly more elevated ring to it. No. The comic book. "Comic book novices may have difficulty differentiating their Green super-heroes: The Green Lantern does not attract The Green Hornet as moth to flame. Green Lantern may, however, attract almost as many teen girls as teen geeks, because it features Ryan Reynolds, People Magazine's sexiest man, archetype of "obscenely cut" abs. Critics already have remarked and documented strong similarities between Green Lantern and the IronMan series. Given its comic book origins, you know how Green Lantern goes: Cocky gonna-be super-hero must grow into and take responsibility for his super-powers. He becomes part of an inter-galactic super-squadron charged to protect and serve the universe. Of course, hard-rockin' soundtrack and jaw-droppingly attractive women, both good and evil, accompany him wherever he goes. "After summer's spate of cartoon movies, literate viewers may wax nostalgic for Hemingway in collaboration with Bogart and Steinbeck inspiring Henry Fonda.
