Every Hero Has a Story

  Hank Palmer (Downey), a prominent Chicago defence attorney, receives a call while in court notifying him that his mother has died. He hurries to his hometown for the burial, then stays longer when his father is charged with murder. The Judge is an excellent example of painstakingly developed character representations and a film that develops up each of the key characters over the course of the film.   Hank's mother's death reopens longstanding scars in his family. While still standing behind his mother's coffin, older brother Glen (D'Onofrio) hurls nasty, cruel insults at Hank. Strong, the youngest brother, is a simpleton with a childish naivety who spends much of his time shooting home films. Joseph Palmer, his father, is a difficult nut to crack but a fascinating figure nevertheless. He is a traditional father and a straight-forward judge. He believes Hank abandoned his family in order to concentrate on his job. With his harsh, obnoxious tone, Joseph makes this...

The year is 2154. The US army lands on Pandora, a moon the size of Earth orbiting in space. Their goal was to harvest minerals from Pandora's soil, which were desperately needed. But, first, they must attack the alien world's peace-loving indigenous population, relocating or destroying them with their spies and bombs.   We thought sinking the Titanic was a massive task! This time, James Cameron opts to play god and constructs an entirely new world with such exquisite elegance, aesthete, and attention to detail that he practically takes your breath away. With its art house special effects and shock and awe treatment, Avatar symbolises the coming of age of both CGI and 3-D cinema in terms of pure technology.   On the one hand, the iridescence of the canvas and the never-before contours of the creatures, flora, and fauna flying across the screen makes you marvel at how computers can augment creativity; on the other hand, the umpteen times you jump back to avoid the arrow...

  James Bond, who has retired and lives as a loner, has been charged with solving the mystery of Project Heracles. He has more to lose the deeper he goes into the case. Will he put everything on the line for this mission?    Fans of the James Bond franchise will have high hopes for this movie. After all, this is Daniel Craig's final Bond movie, even though he had to be convinced to participate in this one as well. Due to the pandemic, the release of this movie has been postponed. No Time To Die is a terrific movie. Instead, it exceeds all expectations and even goes above and beyond.   With a heady mix of romance, action, explosions, and betrayal, the film's opening sequence sets the tone. The story that follows is a dramatic thriller that keeps you glued to the screen. The fact that the film is 2 hours and 43 minutes long, making it the longest Bond film to date, appears insignificant. As the film progresses, the audience is left wanting more.   ...

  Ray Breslin has literally written the book on structural security. His mission is to impersonate a prisoner and then flee the facility in order to alert authorities to security weaknesses. His last assignment is to break out of a highly secure facility whose location is unknown. Once inside, Breslin understands that escaping will require collaboration with fellow convict Emil Rottmayer. Following a successful escape from a high-security prison, Breslin's business associate Lester Clark (D'Onofrio) persuades him to accept a final task provided by the CIA because of the hefty payoff. As a result, Breslin and his coworkers Hush (50 Cent) and Abigail (Ryan) travel to New Orleans to meet up. Things swiftly take a turn for the worst. Breslin (Stallone) and Rottmayer (Schwarzenegger) harness some considerable brain-muscle to go with the testosterone-fueled brawn, much like ponderous man-mountains. Hfström (well renowned for filmmaker horror films) gives each of the key character...
