DVD World Report

2011 opens with the remains of films that did not find any screens during the Christmas period. Already expired, “Season of the Witch” can only have a funny taste. And that movie lovers thought that Nicolas Cage was back on track in 2010 after all his turnips.

During the Crusades, Holy War in full swing. Having lost faith after so many unnecessary killings, the old man of God Behmen (Nicolas Cage) and his sidekick Felson (Ron Perlman) decide to disappear from the wild. The two companions are brought to reality by the bodies that populate their way. Forced to escort a girl (Claire Foy) suspected of witchcraft, they discover that if the good exists, evil must not be far away…

Nicolas Cage has the continuity of ideas. After almost rejuvenated his career by participating in the delusional “Kick-Ass, he played a mage considerate in” The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” Here he is on the other side of the fence, in pursuit of a wicked witch who may be responsible for many disasters. This interesting original idea (that the plague that took place during the Middle Ages is of supernatural origin) is not intended, however, not treated as historical mode, Bragi Schut Jr. screenwriter preferring the intricacies of the action.

A bitter disappointment for this story that begins in the manner of “The Crucible” and ends doubtfully as “Legion”. Not satisfied with having missed his subject n’explorant not the multiple challenges available to him, director Dominic Sena (“Gone in 60 Seconds,” “Swordfish” and “Whiteout”) undermines the entertainment factor . The feature totally indifferent, with its long and repetitive combat clashes dull, that does not just brighten uneven special effects and a beautiful photograph that serves absolutely no purpose here. In fact it is a banal series B which does not assume simply not serious when residing ridicule tends to take all the space.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

The most beautiful movie that I have ever had the pleasure to see..

Comes to an end one of the longest and creative franchises in the world cinema. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 intend to open all avenues for that next year the series close with a golden key. The studios also promise the latest chapter in 3D (almost the first part was not), which should generate even greater attendance records. Incidentally, this Warner can not complain. Harry Potter has always been efficient in time to fatten their coffers. What had the lowest box office, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban grossed almost $ 800 million worldwide. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the latest release by then, reached nearly 1 billion. The two sides intent on beating this end all those numbers, and are well capable of achieving.

The news of the day in the film industry, is undoubtedly, the 36 minutes that have been leaked on the internet for the latest sequel of Harry Potter, whose world premiere will be this Friday November 19th.

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole (2010)

The popular novels by Kathryn Lasky films come to life in a brilliant way through Zack Snyder (Watchmen). As pretty intelligent, “Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole” surely captivate anyone interested in complex stories told simply.

Soren (voice of Jim Sturgess) and his older brother Kludde (Ryan Kwanten) were kidnapped and their captors forced them to join an order of elected officials who are willing to fight the guardians Ga’Hoole. Kludde joined the movement, but not Soren taking to their heels in the company of Gylfi (Emily Barclay). Seeing that a war is being prepared, the two new friends can not remain neutral, and in company with some companions they will act to avoid the fate of humanity falls into the wrong wings.

From 2002 to 2008, the American author Kathryn Lasky has published no fewer than 15 books about the legendary exploits of the “Guardians of Ga’Hoole,” winning more than considerable success. When people are waiting for you, Hollywood is never far to suggest a film version. The project to adapt the first three stories were told Zack Snyder, who has managed the feat to translate brilliantly unadaptable comic “Watchmen”. perspex

His first challenge was to get rid of what has been done before. It does not take long to see that feature drink at “Dark Crystal”, “Labyrinth”, “X-Men” and especially “Star Wars” original drawing heavily on a few notable passages. While it is increasingly difficult to lay a completely original screenplay, the director is doing a nice way of mixing old with new to create a new mythology for the whole family, but probably a little too dark and violent for young souls. Even if conflicts, characters and alliances are numerous, it is easy to navigate easily.

The story could have been very wordy and it is in places. This is quite normal at the information needed to convey, some passages more “educational” can make a viewer more cynical sigh. For once, the votes selected (the Jim Sturgess, Helen Mirren, Geoffrey Rush, Hugo Weaving and Anthony LaPaglia others) serve the story and not the other, which may explain the depth given to characters who are often torn dilemmas moral.

Yet the pace is never sacrificed for the benefit of conversations, and when the action breaks, it is hard not be impressed. The beauty of the choreography and plans offered dare propose something new instead of always reheat the soup. The set pieces are numerous, and several easily capture the retina, especially when the hero faces vortex of rain. Especially since the three-dimensional technology is intended spectacular, bringing a degree of tension to the vicissitudes. Although enjoyable, the music is still sometimes a little too sluggish, especially when a cutesy song is heard. As if the young customer he needed this to stay hooked until the end.

Breathtaking in its scope and execution, “Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole” is one of the best events of the year. It’s beautiful, good, upbeat and very entertaining. Hoping a sequel arrives on screens as soon as possible.

Where The Wild Things Are – IMDB

The monsters are perfect for adults, but not as fantastic beings may recall that the beautiful fantasy story without end, because they are furry creatures with bulging eyes but look wise, precisely because they are mere puppets, the correct direction of Spike Jonze of this strange fairy tale turns what should be a pleasant fable in a dreamlike story but totally chaotic and adults.

A boy named Max, either an outcast or a child lost and scared is the engine of this story without a story, is about 10 years, has no friends, they turn away, his mom is his all, his best friend but now has a new boyfriend, which confuses what wakes you up better than wild jealousy and feels like any self-respecting human person has ever felt, a nonentity, a voice or vote, a one who is out there.

Lost has to go, feels that nobody wants, nobody would miss him and does what an adult would not be suicide, is rather escape, not Italy as Julia Roberts or Diane Lane, goes by boat to a desert island monster looking for a leader to order them, a god who avoid the sun is extinguished, a being capable enough to control what is uncontrollable in a monster, the savagery.

The orders are given arm disorder, building forts, castles, straw, play shit, wasting time, but beware, between disturbed and disturbed internal conflicts began to see brightly marked and we realize that this is not a movie for children, has become something dangerously aggressive, has begun to tell the truth, to show that we are a desert island, we have people who cares and who they affect our actions. Then we will have spent just 15 minutes and this story ends appeared to be as simple as material developed psychiatric hospital and ends up becoming a savage monster, hard to see, chaotic, there to give her patience and called Carl to create Max is the king, that that becomes the best friend of a primitive society, without law and undeniable desire for a leader, whether a child.

This movie is very sensitive that I would see my son, especially because beyond their disorder is a life lesson, friendship, maturity and responsibility and must be seen with the eyes of a monster, one like the dolls movie, these furry creatures so close to adults, those who have to believe in anything to feel part of this world.
