Tower Heist; bunch of comedy star

Film trends that combines several artists at once more numerous. Not for animation, but live action movies. Understandably they are often a potent recipe for scoring box office as well as restore the prestige of some members of the 'ensemble cast' is. This is what happens in the main role TOWER Heist with Ben Stiller. Followed by the next artist are Eddie Murphy, Matthew Broderick, Casey Affleck, Zachary Levi, and Michael Pena. In addition, there are still too Tea Leoni, Jon Voight, Gabourey Sidibe, Judd Hirsch, and Stephen Henderson

Surely not easy to combine some well-known artist in the film because the maximum duration of about two hours, they have to share time, in a sense, how many minutes each artist appears on the screen? For example, Ocean's Thirteen which in theory there are 13 important people in one group, so if you want 120 minutes divided equally, in theory each had less than ten minutes to appear on the screen. Obviously it is also not good, then it automatically at the end there should be one, two, or a maximum of three artists who stand out, while the rest remains as a complement to enliven the film. Look no Sylvester Stallone The Expendables, RED with Bruce Willis, and so on. Except in a film there are several pieces of new stories 'ensemble cast' could be more evenly distributed as in HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU.

Now Ben Stiller re-incorporate some of the artists off the star in a movie. Previously, he has also been 'an ensemble cast of' cross-generational series in MEET THE PARENTS. While in Tropic Thunder, Stiller invited some artist friends appear as a cameo. TOWER Heist filming has just finished in February 2011 which took the site entirely in New York. With big names and the cold hands of Ben Stiller, TOWER Heist will be one of the leading film ends of 2011. Although it is not easy considering the schedule of the adjacent circulation and also Puss IN BOOTS TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN: PART 1. But fortunately, TOWER Heist has a different genre so that the target market men and women are expected to be achieved.

Tower Heist film (reminiscent of the Oceans Eleven series), revolves around the figure of Josh Kovacs (Stiller) who manage one of the elite-rise buildings in the city of New York. Thanks to Josh supervision, residential buildings are always well groomed and orderly. One place at the top of the building occupied by prominent Wall Street brokerage; Arthur Shaw (Alda). Arthur was secretly taking money its investors which is then stored in his residence and soon will flee. Josh once traced the money also goes down in the investment game Arthur felt compelled to take the money right back. The trick to infiltrate into the residence and stole behind Arthur. Josh's main advantage is already feeling memorized the intricacies of this tower. The bad side of Josh and his group amateur in terms of theft. As a result, they were overwhelmed when stealing. Many new things are unexpected even though in theory they should already know the location.

It took five screenwriters to the story was initiated by Eddie Murphy is considered perfect. Meanwhile, director Brett Ratner himself would have experienced with the theme of having been a successful action comedy RUSH HOUR trilogy through. With a unique story line and cast and crew qualified, in theory TOWER Heist will achieve satisfactory box office.

In many Ben Stiller film, Owen Wilson's name was almost always there, whether as a partner willing to even just a cameo. There are at least 11 movies Owen Wilson worked with Stiller, ranging from THE CABLE GUY, PERMANENT MIDNIGHT, HEAT VISION AND JACK, Meet the Parents, Zoolander, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS, Starsky & Hutch, MEET THE FOCKERS, NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM, AT NIGHT THE MUSEUM: BATTLE OF THE Smithsonian, and LITTLE FOCKERS. Even Owen Wilson should also exist in Tropic Thunder, it's just been canceled because the case involved a suicide. In TOWER Heist, so far has not listed the name of Owen Wilson. But, it could be staged later he attended two or three minutes just to cameo as he often did. Its characteristics are similar to Rob Schneider in Adam Sandler movies that have a record of working together more. the differences, Owen Wilson often get a more weighty role

Something BORROWED

Sinopsis

Since in college Rachel White (Ginnifer Goodwin) does have a crush on Dex Thaler (Colin Egglesfield) but unfortunately she did not dare to reveal his love. Rachel tried to forgetting Dex, but fate seems to always bring them together, although sometimes must start with a bit of a problem.

Unbeknownst to Rachel, Dex was planning to marry Darcy Rhone (Kate Hudson ), a good friend of Rachel. At one point, Rachel had met Dex and since not take it anymore, she reveals her feelings. Totally unexpected, Dex also appeared to feel the same. Slowly the romantic atmosphere increasing and both could not control himself anymore.

This relationship is the start of new problems. No one knew of this relationship other than Dex, Rachel, and Ethan (John Krasinski), a Rachel good friend. Unexpectedly, Ethan was also kept secret while at the same time, Marcus (Steve Howey), a famous playboy eventually involved in this affair.

Review

There's a strange story that offered by Jennie Snyder Urman (scriptwriter) and Luke Greenfield (director) through Something BORROWED. Consequently, visualization of the Emily Giffin novel failed to 'touch' the audience. Yet this is actually going to be very helpful in this kind of film.

Something BORROWED is still struggling with the grip pattern of romantic comedy. There may be an attempt to be different though ultimately these efforts failed. What is clear, the characters in this film actually make the plot so absurd. Then the questions began to emerge. If Darcy's character is described as an antagonist character, then why Rachel and Dex so think of Darcy? Actually, the reason for it is not strong enough. Then if Dex is not the kind of guy who has a firm stance, why not just let Dex Rachel is married to Darcy?

And constraints are difficult to answer is what makes this film so it feels awkward. Its feels different with the character in the movie of Tom and Summer (500) DAYS OF SUMMER. Both are seen as fully human, complete with all the advantages and drawbacks. If only the three main characters in Something BORROWED intact portrayed as a man, perhaps this film will be an interesting spectacle.

Who was this serial killer? What are his motives? And more importantly, can the Brant arrest serial killer terrorizing this?

Review
Jason Statham name is synonymous with action movies. After try out other film genres through GNOMEO and Juliet, now Statham back with BLITZ. Actually nothing really special about this film except that Jason Statham the main actor is. The rest was not different from other similar films.

After all this time playing as a criminal, this time Jason Statham finally gets a role as a cop. There was no change in anything in terms of acting. Statham still gets a two-dimensional role that was not too brain drain. Regardless, this role is right for Statham. It was the actor need not do much to prepare for a role in this film.

For an action movie, this one is quite a hodgepodge. In addition to live action show, there is also a thriller, there is a buddy-cop drama, and of course the depiction of life in the police. Consequently, there are nuances that transition sometimes feels a bit stiff. BLITZ does not promise more than can be offered mostly action movies, but not a lot of promise, at least BLITZ could be an entertaining.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel

box office review in movie-weekly.blogspot.com

For those just wanting to know if their youngsters will like the atrociously named ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: THE SQUEAKUEL, the answer is simple. If they liked the first one, they’ll like this. It is more of the same with the added “attraction” of The Chipettes, a female trio who mirror Alvin, Simon and Theodore. Jason Lee apparently didn’t want to repeat his role as Dave – their human keeper – and spends much of his limited screen time in a hospital bed. David Cross returns as the evil agent Ian, now planning his comeback via the Chipettes. There’s lots of slapstick, only one joke involving flatulence, and a not-so-subtle message about cooperation and respect.

However, watching this movie brings several questions to mind, and not only “Why are children’s movies are so bad?” It seems that only Pixar (“Up,” “Ratatouille”) remembers what everyone else in Hollywood used to know, that a good children’s movie is one that can be enjoyed by the whole family. It’s not just about keeping the 6-year-olds in their seats.

First, why do filmmakers think people climbing walls and fences at zoos and confronting dangerous animals is funny? Following the horrendous “Old Dogs,” this has just such a scene. Given that it’s being pitched to kids, this is some truly bad role modeling. We don’t need Hollywood to be a nanny, but there is such a thing as being responsible. Was this truly the only way to work out the story?

Second, why do the computer-animated chipmunks and the aliens in “Avatar” seem “real,” while the animated actors in “A Christmas Carol” do not? It’s not that you will believe chipmunks can sing, but that you can easily suspend your disbelief watching “Alvin” in the way you can’t with “A Christmas Carol” or the earlier “The Polar Express.” People have noted that it’s the eyes that make such characters work, but that doesn’t explain why chipmunks and aliens can have expressive eyes but human characters seem like the walking dead.

Third, the plot of “Alvin” involves them going to high school and being recruited by the principal (Wendie Malick) to appear in a competitive talent show. Budget cuts have put music programs on the chopping block but the winning school will receive $20,000 to save their program. You can guess which school’s winning ensures a happy ending, but are we not supposed to notice that that means that the other schools will have to shut their programs down?

Finally, Amy Poehler, Anna Faris and Christina Applegate provide the voices of the Chipettes. However, their voices are speeded up (as are Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler, and Jesse McCartney as the Chipmunks). That’s fitting for the characters but why bother to cast celebrity voices if they’re going to be so distorted as to be unrecognizable?

No one expects answers to these questions, but pondering them will help you pass the time if you’re unfortunate enough to have to sit through “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” with your kids.•••
