Kevin Smith, who directed the Cop Out movie, twists the detective intrigue, involving a familiar narrative, highlighted the stereotypical figures of the influential mobsters, petty criminal "fry", an innocent victim-emigrant from Latin America, etc. You can fell that the filming was a great pleasure for Kevin and watching was not less entertainment for audience! Still, Kevin Smith would not have been himself, if even in this "compromise" movie, sarcastically failed for philistine myths and newfangled trends. In particular, everybody will be kick-assed: even the modern samurai "Yamakasi", surprising you by the difficult and dangerous art of parkour, which in the case of the hapless Dave played by Sean William Scott, leads to, say, tragic consequences…
Atom Egoyan, the director of Chloe is well aware that the strength of any such stories is in the nuances at first hand and "Chloe" is all built on them. It is not important what exactly happens, but how it is reflected on the people. Egoyan clearly shows how the complexes, fears, worries and speculations destroy subjective reality. Main power "Chloe" is in this reticence not even in focus on the main character: the movie switches from one character to another for several times. That is not an accident that the film has a woman's name - the final impression of it is about the same as that from a meeting with a pretty mysterious stranger. Perhaps, as a result it is not turned into something much bigger and important than the conversation of exquisite sexually charged flirtation - but that's a little dangerous feeling of rocking intoxication, mild viciousness and willingness to lose all control is stored, perhaps are even the better things.
Antoine Fuqua's new movie Brooklyn's Finest represents lots of similarities with his own previous creations. This is quite understandable. It's pointless to deviate from things were used to achieve a fairly good success. And now, after 3 years after the last work there, meet Brooklyn's Finest. The film tells the stories of three very different policemen, exposing the problems of each of them, and then moving from the private narrative to a more mass perception.
The Back-Up Plan is not so much a romantic comedy at background of pregnancy as a comedy about pregnancy, burdened by violent romanticism of the early phase of love: you become stupid get fat and jump in panic skiping around a handsome prince on a white horse. An advantage of movie probably is something that is not here: not a single moment when the viewer a shame that it looks something like this. After the expected, but still funny finale you can get a kinder look at the world.
Oceans movie has come a long way from the global idea of the Jacques Perrin to the big screens around the world. Perrin commented the idea of the project: "We did not write any script, we are going to ask the Ocean. It tells us, it showed us. Thus was born our picture with many conflicts and drama. So we turned the ballet elements, or even opera elements". Initially, this position may seem weak and unpromising. But after watching the Oceans movie you seem weak and unsound to yourself, so shocking this ballet and the opera of the most powerful element on our planet is.
Hughes brothers exploit a very specific niche of "commercial cinema for nerds" filmed The Book of Eli, a western about the Second Coming. You haven't even know that Eli is the God in Aramaic, and generally have at least a minimal understanding of sacred texts. Simplicity and clarity of massage of the movie makes us expecting some more complex content. Especially because the atmosphere and style of the film is beyond any praises. They succeeded to create really juicy and truthful post-apocalyptic world, which filled with the atmosphere of despair, echoing, resonating basses and shot with the cold spectrum filters. A character of Washington is so cool in his calm relaxed state that somehow you really begin to believe that good actually has fists.

Tom Vaughn's Extraordinary Measures should be considered as noteworthy movie primarily because the fact that it is based on the true story of the family of Dr. Crowley and Stonehill. This drama, about a struggle for the lives of children affected by Pompe disease, where the parents are going through the overflowing emotions, and children calls for sympathy and empathy. But you would not say the same about the film which looks like its filmed clumsy and simple, though Tom Vaughan shoots another comedy with Ashton Kutcher in the lead role, which consists of a set of fragments. If Nicolas Cage was invited, there would be a lump in coming to throat may be in one episode. But here even Fraser is not smiling and still seems to be something to rejoice. Eileen Crowley (Keri Russell) is feeling like it's not her children are sick, even when she worries about them, it all looks like so unnatural. As for Dr. Stonehill (played by Harrison Ford), the acting here is on the high altitude…
A Nightmare on Elm Street is intended not so much for the original fans of the franchise, but rather for a new generation of viewers. In this sense, Bauer worked for him delivered the order. Clear and in full accordance with the original estimates: simplified to the limit high art of the nightmares, which was so inventively scarecrow in earlier films. He made a glossy remake of the scenario without holes and superfluous digressions, unoriginal, but well-functioning without the bugs. Indeed, it is watchable. Importantly, you should not even try ti remember that's this very religious chubby friend of Nancy used to play by Johnny Depp in the top 'til the middle of the belly.
