Drive
Drive tells the story of a man (Ryan Gosling) who is a stuntman during the day and the driver of the underworld by night. He lives his daily life in this duality, until one day he helps the husband of his beautiful neighbour (Carey Mulligan), which puts him and the woman in a lethal danger.
Refn shows us how much he can accomplish by using minimal dialogue, an exaggerated sound design, perfectly timed editing, and perfect shot compositions and camera movements to make us as tense as he possibly can. In addition to Gosling and Mulligan, the cast features Albert Brooks, Oscar Isaacs, Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks and Ron Perlman. Drive could have been a standard entertaining action movie in another director’s hands, but Refn’s direction elevates the film to an incredible degree and it’s easy to see why he won the directing prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

Warrior
Warrior is centering on the world of the raw and brutal form of competitive fighting known as mixed martial arts.
Tommy (Tom Hardy) and Brendan (Joel Edgerton) are brothers with emotional scars of a childhood raised by an abusive and alcoholic father (Nick Nolte). He coached them to compete in local high school wrestling matches, pushing the two brothers against each other, not only physically, but battling for attention and approval. Tommy escaped his toxic home with his mother while Brendan stayed behind.
When Tommy returns after a 14-year absence, he is bitter, resentful and secretive. He makes an uneasy truce with his now sober father to help him train for a winner-takes-all MMA event in Atlantic City. Brendan may seem to have it all together. He is a respected high school teacher with a happy family but is swamped in a burden of medical bills and a mortgage he can’t pay. He resorts to the former fighting glory of his past as a way to make ends meet. Neither brother realizes that they’re on a collision course as they enter the same event.
Writer and director Gavin O’Connor, whose credits include Pride and Glory and Miracle, triumphs in creating an unpredictable but extraordinarily realistic storyline and gritty, believable dialog from his players.

Contagion
Contagion is a sprawling movie that occurs in several locations around the world, and follows multiple plot lines that are related, but don’t necessarily intersect.
Returning to her family after a business trip in Hong Kong, Beth’s (Gwyneth Paltrow) supposed jet lag takes a turn for the worse and she dies in the hospital after severe seizures. When her disease quickly spreads, and researchers frantically search for the cause, Beth’s husband Mitch (Matt Damon) is quarantined before it is determined that he is inexplicably immune. The death count multiplies and so does the structure of the film as it introduces several governmental agencies, administrators (Laurence Fishburne, Kate Winslet), doctors (Marion Cotillard, Jennifer Erhe, Elliott Gould), and a blogger (Jude Law), all desperately searching for the cause and the cure of this pandemic outbreak.
Never mind the scares from the current horror films like Fright Night or Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, if you really want to be terrified, watch Contagion.

Apollo 18
The story is set in December 1973, a year after the eleventh and final known manned mission to the moon, Apollo 18 follows the U.S. government telling the public that further missions have been canceled, due to budget cuts. However, the Department of Defense sends three astronauts on a top secret mission to place spy equipment on the moon’s surface to deploy a series of transmitters designed to intercept Soviet signals.
With one left behind in the shuttle, the other two land their craft and quickly discover an abandoned USSR pod a short distance away. There’s blood everywhere, but the vehicle itself still seems to be mostly intact. The two become worried when they find their flag goes missing, and their communication equipment starts to cut out. While trying to get home, what makes matters worse is the fact that rocks that appear to turn into spiders find a way into one of the astronaut’s suits, and the possibility that aliens have landed on the moon.
Found-footage films has become a popular sub-genre in the horror category in the last years, but Apollo 18 unfortunately differs from what makes mockumentarys so enjoyable: an interesting reasoning on why the events are being filmed.

The Debt
The Debt is a drama-thriller film directed by John Madden based on a screenplay written by Matthew Vaughn, Jane Goldman and Peter Straughan, it stars Helen Mirren, Sam Worthington, Ciarán Hinds and Tom Wilkinson. It is a remake of the 2007 Israeli film of the same title (Ha-Hov) by Assaf Bernstein.
The story shuttles back and forth between an East Berlin apartment in 1965 and Tel Aviv more than 30 years later. Three Mossad agents, two men and a young woman share an apartment in East Berlin in 1966. Their job is to identify and take captive a Nazi doctor who tortured Jews in a concentration camp and blended back into society after the war. Surrounding the young agents and their 60s operation is a much longer story involving the retired spies regrouping in 1997 to deal with the historical shockwave of the doctor’s capture.
This film feels like the mixture of mature spy films and political thrillers of many years ago, it is a great espionage flick. There is action, there is thought-provoking scenarios but most of all, there is unbelievable tension.

Shark Night
Shark Night is a 3D horror-thriller film directed by David R. Ellis. The creators hope that it will be Jawsfor the 3D generation. It stars Sara Paxton, Alyssa Diaz, Dustin Milligan, Katharine McPhee and Joel David Moore. The story focuses on seven male and female college friends who spend a weekend of fun in the sun at a lake house.
Sara (Sara Paxton) and her friends easily strip down to their bikinis, but when star football player Malik (Sinqua Walls) stumbles to the surface of the lake with his arm torn off, the party mood kinda gets ruined. They think the injury was caused by a freak wake-boarding accident and they want to take the guy to the hospital to the other side of the lake. As they set out in a tiny boat, they discover that they may have just stepped onto the playing-field of someone’s idea of entertainment, because the lake has been stocked with a massive amount of flesh-eating sharks.

Colombiana
The story starts in 1992 in Bogota, where crime boss Don Luis (Beto Benites) orders a hit against a former associate of his who he considers has betrayed him and his whole family. Still a little girl, Cataleya (Amandla Stenberg, later Zoe Saldana) witnesses the assassination of her family by Don Luis and his vicious right-hand man, Marco (Jordi Molla).
Cataleya grows up to be a stone-cold assassin. She works for her uncle as a hitman by day, but her personal time is spent remaining focused on her ultimate goal: to hunt down and get revenge on the mobster responsible for her parents’ deaths.
Colombiana i’s a straight-up action movie, nothing more, nothing less, very low on plot, high on action, that falls straight into the heap with the scores of other similar Luc Besson-produced films, although it does not possess the nuances of humour that most of his other productions have.

Don't be afraid of the dark
The mystical thriller Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is based on Guillermo del Toro’s screenplay and stars Sally (Bailee Madison), a lonely, introverted child who has just arrived to his father’s (Guy Pearce) and his girlfriend’s (Katie Holmes) home, to a castle from the 19th century, which is being renovated. While Sally is discovering things on the huge estate, she finds a hidden cellar, which is inhabited by evil creatures living in darkness. They want to banish Sally and her family to the endless depths of the castle for ever.
There’s a lot to like about this film, mostly because director Troy Nixey isn’t afraid to keep you in suspense. If there are faults to be found in it, one could easily be the formulaic approach to creature-based horror, allowing anyone who’s seen a fair share of films in this genre to have a good idea of what to expect and when to expect it. Too bad.

Our Idiot Brother
Ned (Paul Rudd) is a sweet guy but entirely too trusting. He sells pot to an on-duty uniformed cop, but gets out of jail early on good behavior, looking for a place to live. He comes home to his girlfriend, who has already moved on and is keeping his best friend, Willie Nelson, the dog. Ned is forced to go back home and live with his three sisters: Liz (Emily Mortimer), Miranda (Elizabeth Banks), and Nat (Zooey Deschanel).
Ned is not the only person in the family who has problems, because Liz’ marriage is in danger, Miranda is on the cusp of having a breakthrough article for Vanity Fair, and Nat is beginning to feel estranged from her girlfriend Cindy (Rashida Jones). Ned bounces from sister to sister, Jesse Peretz directs Ned’s misadventures as one eruption after another.
My Idiot Brother is a light film, there isn’t really that much of a plot as much as it’s seeing how Ned behaves and invariably messes things up in various situations.

Griff the Invisible
The film centers on a man who yearns to be a superhero. Griff (Ryan Kwanten) fights crime at night by monitoring his neighborhood for criminal activity from his high-tech equipment at his apartment. During the day he is a socially awkward office worker who spends his days being bullied by his workmates. Griff has his world turned upside down when he meets Melody (Maeve Dermody) a beautiful young scientist who shares his passion for the impossible.
Melody has a bruised forehead most of the time, she spends her time trying to walk through walls. Although she is dating Griff’s brother Tim (Patrick Brammall), he’s too normal for Melody. Melody and Griff attempt to achieve Griff’s ultimate goal of actual invisibility. Both of their lives are irreversible changed and they set off on a path of self-discovery that leads them in an exciting direction.
One of the best tricks that the director utilizes is twisting our own perceptions. We feel nothing is wrong with these people until we are told otherwise. Unfortunately, the film has a tendency to wear out quite often. Retreading plot points already played out 30 minutes before doesn’t help, and the film needs an arc that actually goes somewhere.

Spy Kids: All the Time in the World
Marissa Cortez Wilson (Jessica Alba) is a spy who is about to retire because of her pregnancy. She puts aside her secret identity (her family thinks that she is an interior decorator), goes home to her husband Wilbur (Joel McHale), a famous spy hunting television reporter, and two annoying stepchildren, Rebecca (Rowan Blanchard) and Cecil (Mason Cook), who clearly do not want her around.
Marissa’s quiet life is interrupted when the demented Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven), a villain who wears a clock mask and has found a way to speed things up, threatens to take over the whole planet. She is called back into action by the boss of OSS, home of the greatest spies. Rebecca and Cecil are also thrown into action when they learn that their seemingly boring stepmother was once a top agent. This way they might have a change to save the world as a family.

One Day
One day is the story of two friends, Emma Morley (Anne Hathaway) and Dexter Mayhew (Jim Sturgess), who spend a special day together (on July 15th, 1988) in college and then continue to meet every year until they fall in love. She is a hard working girl with ambition who would like to make a better place out of this world. He is a rich charmer who would like to make the world to be his playground.
As the story begins on July 15th, it continues through the calendar years on the very same day, so we can be witnesses to their development, we see their friendship and fights, missed opportunities and hopes. As years pass, Emma and Dexter realizes that they actually have everything they are searching for, it has been there for them all along: love. The story is filled with love and loss and all the clichés associated with them, also a well-deserved happy ending.

Teen survivors of a suspension-bridge collapse soon begin to fear that there’s no way you can cheat Death.
Emma Bell’s TV work on “The Walking Dead” ramps up the cool factor for the reportedly last installment (wheeze) of the horror genre’s Franchise with the Best Sense of Humor. And a Tony Todd appearance is always welcome (hmm, one of the producers here must’ve really loved Hatchet II?). No disrespect to the inventiveness of its predecessors, but the idea of watching a suspension bridge undo itself in 3D is the first time we’ve felt legitimately scared by an FD premise.

30 Minutes or Less
Two fledgling criminals (McBride and Swardson) kidnap pizza delivery guy Nick (Eisenberg), strap a bomb to his chest, and inform him that he has mere hours to rob a bank. As the clock ticks, Nick, with the help of his ex-best friend, Chet (Ansari), deal with the police, hired assassins, flamethrowers, and their own tumultuous relationship.
We’re expecting another R-rated, nerd-as-hero adventure from Jesse Eisenberg and director Ruben Fleischer, an outing heavier on the profanity (hello, Danny McBride) and perhaps less sentimental than the surprisingly tender Zombieland. We’ll see if Jesse has any rules of survival this time around. Curious to see what writing duo Michael Diliberti and Matthew Sullivan have to say in their first big-screen venture; if this comedy is a hit, they might become as ubiquitous behind the scenes as Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (who, like Fleischer) were virtually unknown before the arrival of Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita, and Little Rock.

Hmm, does this mean Ryan Reynolds gets to play the amoral and profane Vince Vaughn character, Jason Bateman = straight man, and we will ultimately be left wishing that Leslie Mann received more screen time?

Rise of the Planet of the Apes
In present day San Francisco, a scientist (Franco) looks for a cure for Alzheimer’s disease by experimenting on a chimpanzee named Caesar. The development of animal intelligence brings about a war for supremacy between humans and apes.
Really we’re looking forward to James Franco’s sleepy-eyed justifications for the origins story, Andy Serkis’s motion-capture work as Caesar, and the reunion of director Rupert Wyatt and Brian Cox, who starred in Wyatt’s excellent debut, The Escapist. We’ll give this one a chance, but the number of writers who have experimented on this script is worth noting, as is the release-date juggling — first early summer, then winter, now late summer. Could be a case of fans vs. Fox — a familiar battle. For Franco, who has the longest To Do List in history, this is the kind of serious-minded entertainment that’s perfectly fits his actorly qualities. (That could be construed as a polite way of saying he’s best suited for thinky drama.) He’s also wonderfully malleable in the right director’s hands, though with Serkis, Cox, and pretty young things Freida Pinto and Tom Felton in the mix, we’re realizing this is the first big-time leading man challenge for Franco, and, yes, we hope he’s more engaging than he was as Oscar co-host …

Cowboys & Aliens
Arizona, 1873: Jake Lonergan (Daniel Craig) wakes up with his memory wiped and a curious metal shackle on his wrist. As an unwelcome new arrival in a small settlement town, the mystery device engages as alien spaceships appear and begin to lasso up local residents.
No offense to anything in the Tony Stark world, but we became most interested in this sci-fi/western when Robert Downey Jr. stepped away from the project and Good Ol’ Daniel Craig came aboard for Sheriff Jon Favreau. Surrounding Craig with Sam Rockwell, Harrison Ford, Paul Dano, Clancy Brown, and Keith Carradine? Such a cast could start a neo-Western revolution. Also, with a screenplay by “Lost”‘s Damon Lindelof and the Roberto Orci/Alex Kurtzman enterprise, this could be the first time a blockbuster earns an Oscar nomination for writing. Scratch that: we just saw the film at Comic-Con, and while the acting and directing is great, the story is beyond simple and nowhere near the genre reinvention we expected.

Both performers are effortlessly funny, and all that ho-hum talk about how 2011 is the year of the friends-with-benefits comedy is just frustrated blogger runoff. If the entire film is half as enjoyable as the trailer, this could be the yet another hugely successful R-rated comedy of the season — even if you can telegraph the ending from the concession stand. Looking forward to the photos from their Marine double date.

Winnie the Pooh
Walt Disney Animation Studios returns to the Hundred Acre Wood with Winnie the Pooh, so after thirty-five years we can watch the most popular bear of the world in wide-screen. This new creation is spiced with the old charm, it is whimsy and snappy, and gives a special opportunity for a fancy meeting with the philosophical old bear and his friends, Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga, Roo and of course Eeyore who once again lost his tail.
Owl involves the whole company in a very wild adventure, which aims to save Chrostopher Robin from an imaginary blame. It seems that it’s going to be a very messy day for a bear who only wanted some honey.
This animated feature-length film was inspired by five stories of A. A. Milne and it’s realised in a wonderful hand-drawn, classic art style. It’s not a question that this year’s Winnie the Pooh will enchant the young and old alike.

Harry Potter and the deathly Hollows
Harry, Ron and Hermione cannot avoid the ultimate confrontation. They all know that this is their last chance. The three good friend return to Hogwarts to discover and destroy the last horcrux. Voldemort, who is getting stronger and already dominates the Ministry of Magic and has a growing power over Hogwarts as well, becomes aware of their plan. The stakes are huge so no wonder that he uses all his forces in order to succeed.
The tension and the excitement is perhaps the strongest ever in the Harry Potter series, maybe because there is no need for humanity, the characters don’t need to be retained for an other episode, since this is the last part. This second part is much more dynamic than the previous one, and although the film is not a sob-stuff, sentimental viewers should prepare some handkerchiefs next to their popcorn sachets.

The Ward
The Ward is a typical horror with a Twist in the end. When you are watching it is good but when it’s over it is forgettable immediately. Amber Heard leads the cast and she does it good. All actresses Danielle Panabaker, Lyndsy Fonseca, Mamie Gummer, Laura-Leigh and Mika Boorem did a decent job.
Overall, there is nothing exciting or memorable about it. Watch it in spare time, if you have time. Like really spare time.

The Perfect Host
Two men with common interests in the proceeds from an earlier bank robbery are brought together in this dark thriller. The problem is that they are competing with each other and use both power and “zingers” to shift the advantage from one another.

The entire plot twists and setup is absurd; you will have a great time watching two talented actors for a fast paced 90 minutes.

Project Nim
From the Academy Award winning team behind Man on Wire comes the story of Nim, a chimpanzee who in the 1970s became the focus of a landmark experiment which aimed to show that an ape could learn to communicate with language if raised and nurtured like a human child. What was learned about his true nature – and indeed our own – is comic, revealing and profoundly unsettling. (Roadside Attractions)

Ironclad
One of the most obscure corners of English history gets a cheerfully over-the-top treatment in this likeable, yet flawed siege picture.
Back in the 13th century, after the signing of the Magna Carta treaty, a group of Knith Templars hold out in the hard-fought siege of Rochester Castle for months against King John’s troops to defend the freedom of their country.
This cinematic history lesson scores for unflinching brutality and ruthless realism of the past.

Horrible Bosses
A nymphomaniac dentist (Jennifer Aniston), a dictatorial salesman (Kevin Spacey) and a man who has just inherited the company but destroys everything around himself (Colin Farrell) – they undisputedly are the world’s most insupportable and most detestable bosses. Their threee employees (Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day) try to support their tyranny for a while, but one day they decide to gather confidence and revolt on the quiet.
The result of the secret association is a cunning murder plan, which would finally put an end to the evil chiefs’ viciousness and would serve as a warning for other evil superiors as well. The subordinates’ plot sounds good but their plans never really succeed… Not just their bosses, but even fate tyrannizes over them all the time.

Crime After Crime
In telling the story of Deborah Peagler, a battered woman who spent 26 years in prison, filmmaker Yoav Potash has not dug up an obscure case of injustice. Thanks in part to his years-in-the-making documentary, the California inmate’s struggles were well documented in the news media, and the legal crusade to overturn her first-degree murder conviction received ardent support.
Crime After Crime brings nothing particularly cinematic to that story – one of horrendous personal abuse, prosecutorial misconduct and seesawing hope and despair.
For her indirect involvement in the killing of the man who forced her into prostitution and sexually abused her daughter, Peagler had already spent two decades behind bars when two Bay Area lawyers took up her case. California had just enacted the nation’s first law permitting evidence of domestic violence in such cases, and the yin-yang legal duo expected to secure release for Peagler within a few months.

Beats, Rhymes and Life
This authorized documentary is more of a celebration of the legendary Queens quartet than a serious exploration of their art. But considering how brilliant they were at their peak (and how their innovative sampling of jazz and obscure soul continues to be a major influence on hip-hop), it is hard to disagree with the general sentiment. In his first feature as director, Michael Rapaport keeps things lively with a hip-hop-tinged aesthetic, shuffling rhythmically between old and new footage.
The director vibrantly illustrates the cultural continuity between jazz and hip-hop espoused by the movie’s interviewees. The talking heads, several of them clearly stoned, include De La Soul, Pharrell Williams, and the Beastie Boys.

Captain America
It’s 1942 when Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) wants to sign up for military service. He is desperate and wants to fight for his country against the Nazis. His application is rejected on the ground that he is phisically inadequate, but his life radically changes when he volunteers for a super secret military task called Rebirth, where he is admitted after all. Thanks to this program, Roger is reborn as Captain America and he can fight the enemy as a superhero. He joins forces with Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) and Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) to fight the evil organization called HIDRA, which is lead by the compulsive Red Skull (Hugo Weaving).
Of course the good ol’ Stan Lee also appears in the film for a few seconds, after all he is the father of all the Marvel comics, he has every right to be on the screen – it’s a MUST watch for Marvel fans
