Let's start with the fact that the "Survival of the Dead" was shot by not just a master of horror, but practically the first creator of the mythical creature known as "zombies" in a movie. Undoubtedly the first work of George Romero's masterpiece, and were simply "Survival of the Dead" became the sixth film with the theme of "zombies" in the collection of Romero. The script was itself written by Romero, and frankly, it is bad … movie features as the sequel to "Diary of the Dead", but the lack of "documentary" in the story left no chances to get it. In addition there is no sharp plot twists. And if in the earlier parts "Survival of the Dead" hided some philosophical sense, in that part of everythig lies just on the surface…
Letters to Juliet is an unbeatable summer melodrama about the simple fact: love is not a sausage – it has not expiry date. It is a kind of conceptual sequel to "From 13 to 30" of the same Gary Winick. In the film, 13-year-old girl trapped in the body of the Thirty Years' coquette, but here in "Letters to Juliet" it seems, there has been movement in the opposite direction - from 70 to 13. Mature sagacity lady returned to the age of the great dreams of stainless love, which has no expiration date and is happy to wait at least half a century, only to flare up with a new, triple the force. On the other hand, it is nice that the boundaries are shifted. Previously, it was necessary to have the certain courage to say: in 40 years, life has just begun. "Letters to Juliet" cheerfully join it: even in 70 it not ends there… neither directly nor figuratively.
Mother and Child movie features some mystical idea that everything in our life is connected just too poorly compatible with the prosaic realities of our atomized society. Its more easy to explain the desire of screenplay writer to complete its puzzle plot that analyze the behavior of the characters as the normal human motivations. The presence of stars is only partially redeems shoals of unfinished script, but Watts, who got completely unemotional role of women who throw themselves on every man in sight, once again confirms her rare talent to play a strong blonde in distress. It is thanks to her play, the movie which strives to fly into space on the wings of its own pathos, continues to rely on the land… at least with the little finger of one leg.
Grown Ups movie looks quite rough. Just think about it two writers, lots of advisers (certainly it could not be done without Rob Schneider). And all these people are professional jokers, who seem to believe that any phrase without a drop of laughter, is useless and meaningless, forgetting that sometimes the perception of what else needs a neutral background. This comedy is not just saturated with jokes; it is completely out of them and the concentration is so high that long to earn poisoning. The fact that the bulk of duty and unfunny jokes, on the one hand, is almost the most neutral background for the really good finds, but on the other only enhances intoxication. Although, admittedly, meeting old friends at the funeral was still as cheerful as the history of a dying comic. And for the sake of only one of Steve Buscemi as the letter "y" worth the risk and suffer a sad sense of humor about the difficulties in urination.
The new comic book adaptation titled "Jonah Hex" has a chance to become a new subspecies of a Hollywood blockbuster movie. Which, unlike similar to it, "Van Helsing" and "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", boasts at least that there is no monstrous budget spent only on the CGI and still do not understand that. All are attached to ordinary story about an unusual hero against the forces of evil money not spent in vain - despite the feeble mind of local writers, the picture and dynamics in this are pretty good. But the lack of a coherent plot and its quality does not allow "Jonah Hex" to become something more than fantasy gunman at a time. "Professional and extremely steep mercenary in the best tradition of Western fighters dealt with the bad guys, that everything else resorted to the resurrection of the dead. Well, just as some representatives of the genre on occult themes. Unlike "John Hex" is that the hero was a little maimed and disfigured on one side of the face attached to the character of Josh Brolin sort of grim fascination. Besides, he enjoys exotic weapons such as crossbows and slaughter that was particularly funny - two miniguns pinned to ride a horse! On the part of any claims, action games - very bright and juicy, while gunfire and explosions in no way spoiled special effects, just the opposite. "For the rest, "Jonah Hex" just a collection of beautiful pictures without any good sense. Again, good vs. evil, it's pretty primitive, but effective. In true, everybody will be very pleased with the lack of oak dialogues and unnecessary pathos. Fortunately, the creators focused on the rigidity of action scenes and even the history of the protagonist, which is interesting main story. In addition, there is John Malkovich and even Megan Fox, which, apparently, after her disagreement with Michael Bay, is now doomed to get stuck in the semi-thrash movies for a long time. Generally "Jonah Hex" is worth watching, but only because of pretty pictures and good overall performances.
Despite the fact that the Ondine film is about our time, you seem to plunge into the mysterious and enigmatic place where time stands still and nothing changes, where legends live side by side with modern humans, it does not distinguish myth from reality - you are submerged. Underwater has its own rules and laws, and they differ from the earth. Only by following all the rules, you can communicate with the underwater world, and maybe even find happiness. If we talk about the story or the game actors, then, frankly, not really pay attention to this: under water all the changes the form and essence. In this film needed to immerse a whole, not dismantle it by the constituent parts. In this case, I can not say that it's for a wide audience.

The couple assassins - it really is capacious and kind of a metaphor for family life that has not been developed so far to the bottom, but Robert Luketic in Killers movie chose another ways to express the idea. First of all, apparently, Cameron's "True Lies", where the governor of California and Jamie Lee Curtis also played a secret superhero and his wife had received his sight. Compared with the current duo, Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl, of course, pointed that Hollywood shallows. But it is generally associated only with a picture of a nuisance. It's funny that Luketic dealt also with the great American paranoia, literally showcases fears that your neighbor can become a high-class hitman overnight start hunt on you. However, this idea is a nice addition to the culminating phrase, from which few dare to argue: "All married do so." In general, just this would be a "Sex and the City", whether it was a film for people, not the nightmare of Manhattan's neurotic.

They are talking, some wear costumes or special clothing, treated with tricky mechanisms perform breathtaking tricks and pretending all sorts of faces thanks to the modern special effects.

But it portrays funny characters and situations, charming animals, exciting adventures and there is not a single joke on a sexual topic: just an ideal movie to watch with whole family.
