Premiered at Sundance in January 2012 as the Colin Trevorrow's directional debut, "Safety Not Guaranteed" is a not-a-typical indie movie deserving wider audience than the common festival "beau monde" is capable to propose. The movie storyline begins with a mysterious advertisement in the local newspaper aimed to recruit a companion to travel in time. As the ad states, the candidate have to bring all his weapons and expect the journey on terms which would not guarantee any safety. Also intriguing is the fact that the ad's author claims that he traveled in time once. "And you have to stop here if you're expecting to watch some easy sci-fi comedy about time traveling, because this movie is not exactly what you think about. The time travel in its literally meaning takes very insignificant part of film's plot. The movie is more about traveling in our hearts and times of our lives rather than about comedic situations that fall in the unfortunate time travelers. "But not be too upset, the lack of time travel entertainment will be more than offset by the "near perfect" chemistry of the film's cast. And, of course, as it's an indie romcom you'll not find here a stellar "all-celebs-at-once" set, but a perfectly combined synergy of characters. afety Not Guaranteed features both efficient and charming cast that makes definitely most of the movie. Let's start with Aubrey Plaza (supporting roles as April Ludgate in Parks and Recreation and The Princess in Troopers) who plays a woman falling in love so flawless that it would be almost undoubtedly considered as her breakout role leading to "Big Hollywood Movies". Mark Duplass portrays Kenneth Calloway, the peculiar ad's owner and Jake M. Johnson (you may remember him as Jesus in A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas) plays as a smug writer Jeff Schwensen. Another leading role of Belinda St. Sing was achieved by Kristen Bell (you may know her as Chloe for Sceam 4 and Nikki from Burlesque). As well you will see beautiful Karan Soni and Mary Lynn Rajskub in this movie… and, you may be surprised that the Safety Not Guaranteed storyline was inspired by a real life ad placed by a real author, John Silveira,who have attended the Sundance Film Festival and distinctively did not look crazy.
Long title but somewhat short minded concept that seeks to show what might be best to do if, and when, the world comes to an end as we know it. Everyone knows the world will be coming to an abrupt end one of these days, probably sooner than later at the rate it's going now. But who's to say exactly how we should best spend our remaining days and hours? To each his own! Will romance be the goal and the ultimate end for dorky guys who salivate over cool chicks with whom they would otherwise never stand a snowballs chance with? Who would go to work and put in the best they can if the end is inevitably near? Why bother to even begin to try to impress others when it doesn't matter anyhow? Steve Carell (Crazy Stupid Love, The Office) is Dodge, a neighbor and friend of Penny (Keira Knightley from Atonement, Silk). The two of them team up after Dodge's wife runs off in a state of panic (who knows how we'll react?). They are in search of Dodge's high school sweetheart even though Penny severely cramps his style. Also starring are Patton Oswalt, Gillian Jacobs, and Connie Britton.
Total Recall of 2012 is the good news for those who read the "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale", the book written by the drug addicted writer Philip K. Dick and liked it. Why? Because it's much more close to the original than the same name movie released in 1990 which remake the new Total Recall is supposed to be. That is way it's more correct to call this Recall the new version, not the remake: we will not see any flights to Mars here. But more action packed scenes are guaranteed, thanks to the Len Wiseman who previously directed the Underworld trilogy and Live Free or Die Hard.

Very soon it becomes clear that she is a major part of rebel union teamed to change the political system in Euroamerica and aimed to destroy the main antagonist Vilos Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston) the President of the corrupted government of Euroamerica.

Soon the rumors began to fly surrounding our 16th President. Henry Surges penned the bio based on some of the writings found in Abe's diaries and the story came to life. Abe learned about vampires from his father, Thomas Lincoln back when he was eleven years old and so believed them to be real.
