Smallville

Category: By Viraj
Also another T.V show that has been renewed is Smallville - the early years of superman. I am a massive fan of superman and also the show. Tom Welling i think is brilliant in his portrayal as superman and erica durance also does well as a young Lois lane. The show has reached its eight season which has been awesome so far and it definitly derserves its ninth. Bring it on!

 


Supernatural

Category: By Viraj
Supernatural was recently renewed for season 5. I Honestly think its one of the best shows to watch at the moment If your the type of person who likes horror or even abit of comedy you will like it, if you don't like none of these then i still think you should try to watch it because its these kind of shows that deserve to be watched.

Brad pitt plays Benjamin Button who weirdly is born old(86 years old) and as the days go by he grows younger. While at a nursing home, where his father abandoned him, he comes across a young Daisy(Blanchett), whose grandmother is at the nursing home. Later on they start to fall in love with each other, now you know what the problem is. This is a different kind of love story and an interesting one.

Taken

Category: , By Viraj
Director
Pierre Moral - also directing upcoming 'from paris with love' with John Travolta
Writers
Robert Mark Kamen - co-wrote transporter films
Luc Besson - also co-wrote transporter films

Starring
Liam Neeson - starring as Abraham Lincoln in his fourthcoming biopic
Katie Cassidy - supernatural, click
Famke Janssen - Xmen

Liam Neeson stars in this bourne type action film. This film was released in the EU way before it was released in American theatres. I haven't seen it but i like the sound of it. From what i have heard it has good action with Liam neeson at his best. When his daughter Amanda gets kidnapped he has to get her back like any father would but he has more skills because he is an ex CIA agent. the writers as you can see also wrote the transporter films which i liked hugely because of the action. if they wrote this film it must have good action, also the storyline doesn't look that bad, and it has a surprisingly good rating of 7.9 on imdb, which is wrong but i trust it enough to go watch it, dont listen to critics go watch it and my instinct tells me its a good movie.
 


Notorious

Category: , By Viraj
Director
George Tillman Jr - Men of Honour

Writers
Reggie Rock Blythewood - Biker Boyz
Cheo Hodari Coker - First Project

Starring
Jamal Woolard - Christopher 'Biggie' Wallace
Derek Luke - Sean Coombs
Angela Bassett - Voletta Wallace

Christopher 'Biggie' Wallace was one of the biggest newcomers in rap at one time. In 1997 he got shot in a drive by. This film chronicles his life, if you've seen films like coach carter or hardball you probably already know the kind of life in the 'ghetto'. I have never listened to any of his music but i like watching these kind of films because they show you that everything is possible, take the tagline - No dream is too big - if you want to do something do it, give it a try, you never know. If you are a fan of music or Biggie, or you need some inspiration then go watch this! it covers his Lovelife, friendships, feuds and his dream and how he became the person he was.
 


Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

Category: , By Viraj
Director
Patrick Tatopoulos

Writers
Danny Mcbride - also stuntman and actor
Dirk Blackman - cowriting the upcoming conan film

Underworld is back! this time with Rhona Mitra who stars as Sonja in this vampire vs werewolves flick. We find out how the battle between them began. Sonja joins her lover, a young lycan(a different type of werewolve) called Lucian played by michael sheen as he leads the werewolves - who were once enslaved by vampires - to fight against the evil vampire king(Bill Nighy) and his Vampire army.

Len wiseman the director of the first two evolution films didn't direct this or write it, instead Patrick Tatopoulos, who designed the creature effects in all three films will make his debut. However Len wiseman is an executive producer.

I thought the first two were good and just hope this one completes the trilogy on a high note. A movie worth watching even if you haven't watched the first two as this is an origin story.
 


Defiance

Director
Edward Zwick(Blood diamond, The Last samurai)

Writers
Edward Zwick

Nechama Tec(author)

From awesome director Edward Zwick who directed the awesome Blood Diamond (Buy it and watch it, you won't regret it) and The Last Samurai (Tom Cruise). Defiance starring Daniel Craig(Bond, James Bond), Leiv Schreiber(The Manchurian Candidate) and Jamie Bell(Billy Elliot).

About three jewish brothers who escape nazi infested poland into a Belurussian Forest, they join the soviet partisans to fight of the nazi's.

The movie does have some inaccuracies that most critics didn't like. But the film is directed by Edward Zwick who makes movies that will always teach you something. Dont listen to critics go watch it, it probably won't be the best movie but definetly worth watching.

Based on a true story and by one of the best directors around this Film will leave you emotional and will show plenty of courage, determination and heart that the three jewish brothers did and had for their people.
 


My Bloody Valentine

Category: , , By Viraj
Director
Patrick Lussier

Writers
Zane Smith - First movie
Todd Farmer - also Wrote Jason X

My Bloody Valentine 3D - A 3D remake of the 1981 film. It is the first film to be released in the digital Real D cinema format. Starring Jensen Ackles(of the cool show supernatural), Jaime King (cheaper by the dozen 2) and kerr smith(Road Kill).


Tom (Jensen Ackles) returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine's night massacre that claimed the lives of 22 people. And when another horrific event occurs soon after Tom's appearance, he finds himself suspected of the deadly acts.

Jensen Ackles is brilliant in supernatural -those of you who watch it will already know - i'm sure people who go watch this will find that true. This film is bringing in a whole new experience when it comes to watching slasher films. This film plot might not be good but its in 3D and has a decent cast. i recommend you watch this film to get a taste of 3D.
