Ariel Schulman is returning to direct the fourth sequel in line of Paranormal Activity movies. Filmed in 2012 for pennies (as always) Paranormal Activity 4 features the same actors in the same roles. Kathryn Newton portrays Alice while Katie Featherston plays Katie. A little boy named Robbie is played by Brady Allen (remember the kid from The Middle?) and Matt Shively (the voice of Sky from Winx Club franchise) stars as Alex. The story of Paranormal Activity 4 is quite predictable, and hinted from the previous movies. It follows the mystery of family disappeared in 2006 which, a story recorded by numerous of cameras installed all over the house, where, now, the other family must go thru their horror drama, and we have a chance to watch every frightening moment documented by both IP cameras and Skype videos. As it may be concluded the movie style and way of filming are not the subjects to change from one sequel to another, and there is a quite obvious and very pragmatic explanation of this fact; this is the one and only working business model the allows Paramount Pictures to keep churning out hundreds of millions dollars out of every low budget Paranormal Activity until the wheels fall off.

Brad Pitt plays Jackie Cogan in Andrew Dominik's crime thriller Killing Them Softly, a mobster whose task is to investigate an impudent murder which happened during the illegal poker game organized by mafia bosses. To have a holistic perception of the movie atmosphere just mix-up in your imagination The Sopranos, GoodFellas, Pulp Fiction and put them in a Bush/Obama post-crisis America of last half of 2008; ladle it with some thick layer of political dressing made of pragmatic thoughts and infallible Jackie Cogan's phrases about what happens with people when recession comes and who is responsible for all of this mess. Killing Them Softly is loosely based on George V. Higgins novel Cogan's Trade which he wrote in the period of time 1972 – 1974, when he worked as lawyer, specializing in crime processes involving mafia complicity. This fact leads us to believe that he knows a lot about the shady inside world of gangster's "paradise" which served as a perfectly sharpened background for Andrew Dominik's movie. Filmed for that point in post-Katrina New Orleans Killing Them Softly immerses us in the abyss of despair and hopelessness which enveloped everyone's minds and souls of in America, regardless of occupation – even for thorough-paced gangster – it's time to think about what's wrong with this world. The movie was nominated for the Palme d'Or at 65th Cannes Film Festival in 2012.

In a dark times of medieval China, when small feudal villages were faced the risk of plundering and burning to ashes by any band swindlers, a reckless blacksmith decides to defend his fellow villagers from attacking sons of gun. RZA, who is in charge of The Man with the Iron Fists, just for your interest – is a director, producer, writer and a leading role actor of the movie (like four in one), and of course he plays the Blacksmith, who is leading the villagers to the convincing and final victory of justice. The way he does it is an extraordinary one: he transforms the power of iron weapons, such as swords, spears and shields, in the power of living human body, his body, making him unbeatable. The authorship of this weird idea belongs to RZA (who may doubt?) and there are some rumors the nurtured this idea from 2005 year. Distributed by Universal Pictures, The Man with the Iron Fists despite its meager budget of $20 millions features quite a stellar cast: besides the abovementioned RZA, the movie starring: Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu, Jamie Chung, RZA, Dave Bautista, Pam Grier, Cung Le, Rick Yune, Osric Chau, Zhu Zhu, Chia Hui Liu, Daniel Wu, Celina Jade, Byron Mann, Dennis Chan (it's more likely that you know everyone from this list, may be exempt those who have Chinese surnames).

Man of Steel is the next one in a long row of reboots which shook the film industry in 2012-2013. Following the year after Marc Webb's The Amazing Spiderman - Zack Snyder's Man of Steel is the not just the next Superman franchise reboot – it is the great milestone in a history of entire world cinematograph. Produced by Christopher Nolan the creator of unparalleled Inception, Man of Steel tells the same story as his 25-years old predecessor but with enormous (even for 2013) budget around 200,000,000 USD. Filmed in Plano, Illinois the movie at the same time uses Chicago and Vancouver as backdrops. The huge budget mostly dictated by enchanting ensemble of the cast and incredible 3D which is reported to be much more sophisticated than everything you could watch before. In case of Man of Steel it's a venture without a risk: as the Superman is known to almost everyone on Earth, and there are three major target audiences that eager to watch it. First of all, it's new generation that heard of Superman a lot, and watched numerous TV series and spoofs. The second, there is the generation that remembers Ilya Salkind's Superman. And third one is the oldest audience, who have read DC comics itself and bring their children (second generation audience) to the cinema to show them first Superman movie. So we have there a winning marketing strategy combined with most advanced CGI as it is at 2013. What about the actors? Henry Cavill as Superman looks very hot, while his parents realistically depicted by Kevin Costner and Diane Lane (Jonathan and Martha Kent – Superman's Earthborn foster parents), Jor-El (a Superman's real father from Krypton) is portrayed by Russell Crowe. The epitome of the do-or-die female reporter, Lois Lane is played by Amy Adams, who may be familiar to you as Anna Brady form Leap Year and Charlene Fleming from The Fighter.

A Monsters, Inc prequel, Monsters University is the next Pixar's big thing in a world of animated movies. The story of Monsters University follows the footsteps of chummy Mike and Sulley (remember the adventures hairy blue monster and one-eyed Pokémon-like creature?) In the times when they both attended The University of Fear- they were not so friendly to each other. To say more – they can't stand each other, due to their impressive differences. Now we witness not only their misfortunate adventures, but the story of how they become best friends forever. The voices of Steve Buscemi, Rob Riggle, John Goodman, Jennifer Tilly, Ken Jeong, Kelsey Grammer, Joel Murray, John Ratzenberger and, of course, Billy Crystal are still unparalleled and perfectly match the appropriate monsters' personalities. Another thing we like in Monsters franchise is the unbeatable atmosphere of the monster's world pictured by superb Pixar's director Dan Scanlon. He depicts the world where monsters educate how to bring the fear to earthling children in unsurpassed laughable yet ridiculous manner that become a kind of his "brand" almost ten years before Monsters University release, when Monsters, Inc won the hearts of worldwide audience, leaving no one indifferent to Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan adventures and charming personalities.

The idea of The Master, which was filmed and released in 2012, could be traced back in 2000, when, as it was reported that Paul Thomas Anderson had the plans to create the movie about The Church of Scientology. However, the issues with the financing have blocked the implementation of conception until The Weinstein Company alongside with Megan Ellison, daughter of billionaire Larry Ellison (co-owner of Oracle Corporation), secured the financing of The Master in full. Likewise it has been some rumors that the movie was stalled because of too much of truth about The Church of Scientology has been revealed by Paul Thomas Anderson when he showcased The Cause sect (which was definitely prototyped from The Church of Scientology) in his movie. And because Hollywood has lots of influential and high-powered scientologists in his womb they have, allegedly, throw sand in the wheels of The Master filming and financing. In spite of the fact that The Church of Scientology Officials have rejected these rumors to be true and repeatedly insisted on their indifference concerning this movie, we have lots of doubts about it. The movie rather colorfully describes the sect and its leader Lancaster Dodd, whose personality was clearly copied from Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and very plausible displayed by talented performance of Philip Seymour Hoffman. You may be familiar with him by the roles in Moneyball, where he played Art Howe and in The Ides of March (Paul Zara). Dodd's apprentice, Freddie Sutton, who has climbed to the top of "The Cause" hierarchy suddenly starts to doubt about his teacher's belief, more and more being convinced the all he has to believe to is nothing more than fruits of his teacher's sick fantasies.

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.
