Director David Finch and writer Aaron Sorkin has been working on the movie about Facebook creator, Marc Zuckerburg for a while now and a very short teaser of this film has just been released. It doesn’t say much except to say how one young man has able to make millions introducing this social networking site without making a few enemies a long the way. The film open is October and stars Jesse Eisenberg who plays Facebook’s CEO and resembles him closely well. Also in this film are Justin Timberlake, who is Sean Parker, from Napster who later became the founding President of Facebook, and Andrew Garfield who plays Eduardo Saverin, one fo Facebook’s pioneers who had a falling out with its creator over money matters.

Here is the very short teaser:

Miley Cyrus To Film Wake

June 18, 2010 - 9:11 am No Comments

miley-cyrus-pictureTeen star Miley Cyrus is prepared to go a different direction for her career. She is ready to leave her clean-cut Disney image for a darker, more mature image, as she has signed to do the movie, “Wake”. The film is a paranormal thriller, and one of the first few projects the teen star has taken since announcing that she will be concentrating on making movies until next year.

Wake is based on a novel written by Lisa McMann, which is about a teenager who gets into dreams by other people and relives their nightmares.

The book is actually a trilogy, and the film producers are interested in getting the film rights for the rest of it, with Miley in the project.

Can the Disney Princess shake her Hanna Montana image?

2012- Instant blockbuster

The end of the world is at hand. This is the main theme insinuated in the film 2012. The movie became an instant blockbuster pocketing more than 64 million dollars just this past weekend. The special effects were superb, giving a realistic depiction of the ultimate earthquake, the ultimate volcanic eruption, and the ultimate tsunami – making it the ultimate disaster movie!

All hell breaks loose as Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) tries to get his family to survive as California begins to fall into utter chaos. A whole city falls apart as they try to outrun a quake that literally tears the earth asunder. They soon found out that “…it’s not just California, the whole goddamn world is falling apart.” Other story lines branch out apart from Jackson’s. This is where the movie failed, methinks. Aside from the realistic effects and admirable cinematography, the script is filled with clutters. I’d even call some scenes to be inappropriate. But you can actually do away with the negative stuff because of the overwhelming portrayal of mother nature’s rage.

By segments, especially the CGI ones, the film kept me on the edge of my seat. I had goosebumps on almost every suspense part. This is why the movie was a great success. Yeah, it’s special effects driven, not fueled by a superstar or a superscript. I found myself being a member of club composed of millions of people who are anxious on what’s going to happen in the real year 2012. NASA will be doing a lot of explaining because of this one.

Law Abiding Citizen

November 10, 2009 - 2:49 pm No Comments

I’ve recently watched the Law Abiding Citizen and all I could say is hands down to Gerard Butler. From a fearless Spartan King, to a jerk-y date doctor, and now a vengeful tactical murderer, I’d say Gerard pulled it off. Even with all the impossibilities implicated on the film, it’s a one of a kind charade of how one man can take matters in his own hands.
By far, all the reviews I’ve read on the film are filled with negativity. I say TO HELL WITH THEM! I mean, yeah, most of the scenarios were almost humanly impossible to do, but that’s not the point! It’s the aura that Gerard puts on the film’s antagonist, or protagonist ,rather. No, wait…Whoa! I’m still confused. Mainly because every successful murder that he did just made you want to side with him more. Here’s a guy whose family was murdered, and the cons responsible didn’t get the punishment they deserved, all because of the f***ed up justice system. This makes Clyde Shelton’s (Gerard Butler) mission more than just an act of vengeance. He declares war on the city’s judiciary itself.
The movie was filled with surprises, and it went beyond the boundaries of what a normal film would do. It was a mix of movie genres as well. A few minutes in to the film, I thought for a moment I was watching a scene from the Saw series. Trying to be unbiased, since I became a fan of Gerard ‘coz of 300, I’d give the movie a 4 out of 5.
