CHATA's Spacesmember of the RAIDER NATION July 04 DoomsdayThe year is 2008, and a pandemic threatens to wipe out the whole of the human race. For many in the United Kingdom--the epicenter of the outbreak--the end is nigh, so why bother to keep count? Within days of detection of the Reaper virus millions are infected in Scotland, the killer disease's home turf. Government has no choice but to declare the country a 'hot zone' and quarantine the populace in hopes of containing the Reaper's spread.
What was once Scotland is now a forgotten No Man's Land, with the Reaper given free reign to annihilate the population sealed inside. A quarter of a century later, with a new outbreak of the Reaper resurfacing in London, it becomes apparent that the government's best laid plans have gone completely, bloody awry. Department of Domestic Security (DDS) Chief Bill Nelson is summoned to meet with the prime minister and the true power behind his office, Michael Canaris, who reveal satellite photos of Reaper survivors in the hot zone. And survivors must mean there's a cure. Nelson quickly assembles a crack team of specialists to venture into the forsaken land and retrieve the counteragent to the virus.
 For the tough and efficient commanding officer, Major Eden Sinclair, the assignment represents a disquieting homecoming. Twenty-five years earlier, she had been shoved into one of the last evacuating military choppers and flown to safety--forced to leave her mother behind. Once on the other side of the immediately re-secured border, the squadron is on its own, venturing into a ghoulish terrain of corpse-strewn, forlorn cities. All too soon, however, the crew meets up with a pack of feral survivors, and finds itself unwittingly standing in for the callous government that turned its back years before.
This movie may try to be the Mad Max movies from the 80s but it isn't. Yet i liked watching this movie.  Donkey PunchThree hot girls, four guys, and one mega-swanky yacht collide for a serious night of drugs and sexual deviancy. One debaucherous act goes too far though, turning this teen joy ride into a weekend of bloody bedlam.
 I enjoyed watching this movie. Though it may look like a b-movie, this good. June 28 DefianceFour Jewish brothers living in Nazi occupied Poland escape into the forest where they join up with Russian resistance fighters in battling the Nazis.
 Throughout the war they built a village inside the forest and saved the lives of more than 1200 other Jews. Based on a true story.
Many stories still untold..... good movie this one! Definitely, MaybeA thirtysomething Manhattan dad is in the midst of a divorce when his 10-year-old daughter, Maya, starts to question him about his life before marriage. Maya wants to know absolutely everything about how her parents met and fell in love: Will's story begins in 1992, as a young, starry-eyed aspiring politician who moves to New York from Wisconsin in order to work on the presidential campaign. For Maya, Will relives his past as an idealistic young man learning the 'ins' and 'outs' of big city politics, and recounts the history of his romantic relationships with three very different women. Will hopelessly attempts a gentler version of his story for his daughter, and changes the names so Maya has to guess who is the woman her father finally married. Is her mother Will's college sweetheart, the dependable girl next door Emily? Is she his longtime best friend and confidante, the apolitical April?
 Or is she the free-spirited but ambitious journalist Summer? As Maya puts together the pieces of her dad's romantic puzzle, she begins to understand that love is not so simple or easy. And as Will tells her his tale, Maya helps him to understand that itâ¿¿s definitely never too late to go back--and maybe even possible to find a happy ending.
Not a full chick-flick because of Ryan Reynolds in it. But a movie both can enjoy! Crossing OverThe US offers hope--but that often comes at a price. Many can earn citizenship legally through a lengthy bureaucratic process, but others find themselves out of luck in a country where virtually anything can be bought. Sex, violence and betrayal become their currency. Some wait in line for permission to enter the U.S. while others take matters into their own hands. Working for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Los Angeles, Max Brogan is an agent sworn to protect our borders, he deals with the thousands that try to cross over into the US in search of a better life.
 The lives of Brogan, his ICE partner, Hamid, immigration defense attorney, Baraheri Denise Frankel, and her husband, Cole Frankel, intersect, by necessity, accident or fate, with Mexican factory worker Mireya Sanchez; Hamid Baraheri's sister Zahra; young Bangladeshi Taslima Jahangir; British musician Gavin Kossef; Australian actress Claire Shepard; and Korean teen Yong Kim.
Each has a different struggle: a single mother deported without her child; a high school girl whose provocative essay draws FBI attention; an actress who willingly prostitutes herself to earn her green card; a struggling musician trying to build a career while working his day job; and finally, a Korean teen caught between two worlds, while his family is desperate to naturalize.
As i have told before. Put a lot of great actors in a movie doesn't mean it will be a big hit. Yet sometimes they put a movie out which doesn't get that bang it deserves. Why?! This is a great movie, great actors and loved watching it. Crips and Bloods: Made in AmericaA cluster of neighborhoods lies in the heart of Southern California, streets and boulevards forming a grid between concrete ribbons of freeway. Surrounded by the California Dream, this region has a legacy. It is heavily guarded, yet no one is protected. Nearly a quarter of its young men will end up in jail or prison. Many others will end up dead. These neighborhoods in South Los Angeles are home to two of America's most infamous African-American gangs, the Crips and the Bloods. On these streets over the past 30 years, more than 15,000 people have been murdered in an ongoing cycle of gang violence that continues unabated.
 It was here, just a few miles from the gated communities and sprawling mansions of Beverly Hills and Bel Air, where this nation’s most bloody and costly outbreaks of civil unrest erupted--not once, but twice, 27 years and just three miles apart.
Fasinating docu about the two biggest gangs in the US from which many other gangs copied. Many stories you may have heard but many important ones never told and seen. Must see! June 19 Hole HeartedLifes ambition occupies my time
Priorities confuse the mind Happiness one step behind This inner peace Ive yet to find Rivers flow into the sea Yet even the sea is not so full of me If Im not blind why cant I see That a circle cant fit Where a square should be Theres a hole in my heart That can only be filled by you And this hole in my heart Cant be filled with the things I do Hole hearted This heart of stone is where I hide These feet of clay kept warm inside Day by day less satisfied Not fade away before I die Rivers flow into the sea Yet even the sea is not so full of me If Im not blind why cant I see That a circle cant fit Where a square should be Theres a hole in my heart That can only be filled by you And this hole in my heart Cant be filled with the things I do Theres a hole in my heart That can only be filled by you And this hole in my heart Cant be filled with the things I do Hole hearted G.C.! June 16 Daniel's DaughterKatherine has it all: she's the most successful magazine editor in New York and engaged to an immensely wealthy businessman. But on the eve of their marriage, the most sought-after social event of the year, Katherine receives the devastating news of her father's death, along with his posthumous wishes for his ashes to be spread across Katherine's quaint hometown in Massachusetts.
 Along with her fearless assistant, Katherine reluctantly drops everything to take the trip back home, where a closer look at her roots just may teach her a thing or two she never knew about her father--or about life itself.
Laura Leighton stars in this movie. Nice made-for-tv.........  Death RaceTerminal Island, New York: 2020. Overcrowding in the U.S. penal system has reached a breaking point. Prisons have been turned over to a monolithic Weyland Corporation, which sees jails full of thugs as an opportunity for televised sport. Adrenalized inmates, a global audience hungry for violence and a spectacular, enclosed arena come together to form the 'Death Race', the world's biggest, most brutal sporting event. Five-time NASCAR champion Jensen Ames is a man who has become an expert at survival. After eight years of hard time, he has only six weeks before reuniting with his family.
 But when Weyland demands a driver to headline the big game, Ames is forced to submit. Donning the costume of mythical rider Frankenstein, the racer becomes an instant crowd favorite, an unequaled sporting superstar. His face hidden by a metallic black mask, one convict will be put through a brutal three day challenge, with the trophy being the ultimate prize: freedom. The only catch is that he must survive a gauntlet of the most vicious criminals in this post-industrial wasteland to claim it.
Driving a monster car outfitted with machine guns, flamethrowers and grenade launchers, Ames must now kill or be killed to win the most treacherous spectator sport on Earth: 'Death Race'.
Great action movie! Forget F1 or IndyCars....... Deception“Are you free tonight?” A simple enough question, but how Jonathan McQuarry answers it will change his life forever. A corporate auditor adrift in a sea of New York’s power elite, Jonathan’s work is his entire life. But a chance meeting with Wyatt Bose, a charismatic corporate lawyer, introduces Jonathan to a decadent playground for Manhattan’s executive upper crust. For these power brokers, whose eighteen-hour workdays leave no time for a personal life, there's The List--a sex club, of sorts, where the right cell-phone number and four simple words (Are you free tonight?) can lead to an evening's sexual fulfillment.
 It's a world of intimacy without intricacy, as Jonathan's first conquest (or vice versa) explains to him, and through The List Jonathan discovers a side of himself that he didn't know existed. But an affair with a ravishing and mysterious stranger known to Jonathan only by her first initial, will expose him to yet another world he never imagined--one of betrayal, treachery and murder.
Great cast first, yet this movie is a sample that movies can have a great cast yet can mis something very important to make it a good movie........ the screenplay! Deep WinterMaverick downhill racer, Tyler Crowe, reunites with best friend and renegade snowboarder, Mark Rider. It doesn't take long for the old friends to take on a new mission. Together they head to Alaska, where led by a veteran guide, the two attempt the most daring descent on snow ever caught on film.
 But with glory comes risk. And this challenge is no exception.
Nice little movie, with Michael Madsen. June 06 Che Part One / Che Part TwoOn November 26, 1956, Fidel Castro sails to Cuba with eighty rebels. One of those rebels is Ernesto "Che" Guevara, an Argentine doctor who shares a common goal with Fidel Castro - to overthrow the corrupt dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Che proves indispensable as a fighter, and quickly grasps the art of guerrilla warfare. As he throws himself into the struggle, Che is embraced by his comrades and the Cuban people.
 After the Cuban Revolution, Che is at the height of his fame and power. Then he disappears, re-emerging incognito in Bolivia, where he organizes a small group of Cuban comrades and Bolivian recruits to start the great Latin American Revolution. The story of the Bolivian campaign is a tale of tenacity, sacrifice, idealism, and of guerrilla warfare that ultimately fails, bringing Che to his death. Through this story, we come to understand how Che remains a symbol of idealism and heroism that lives in the hearts of people around the world.
 I very long movie about someone who is as big as a superstar. Many story's have been told and most of them concentrate on what you see in the first movie. Yet the most interesting things happen in the second. But just the last movie i found was not that good as the first.
Still the story in total was fasinating!
 The Butterfly Effect 3: RevelationsSam's ability to leap back and forth between time has been both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, he can use his abilities to help the police solve the most heinous crimes, but on the other, he can’t ever intervene in what he witnesses.
He knows doing so could altar the present in horrific ways. But when a woman, Elizabeth, from his childhood comes begging for his help in finding her sister's murderer, Sam's own demons make him break this golden rule. It's a rule for a reason.
Good movie, yet all the movie that followed the original didn't get that great effect the first one brought. June 03 Baby on BoardA happily married, career-oriented couple's life is turned upside down with an unplanned pregnancy.
 So i actually didn't want to watch this movie. But the trailer was good and with Heather Graham in it maybe it will be good. And that's what it was....... only good. Anacondas - Trail of BloodA genetically created Anaconda, cut in half, regenerates itself into two aggressive giant snakes, due to the Blood Orchid.
 Well, after watching this fourth movie about the Anaconda what can i say.......... i know there will be another one. Hopefully with some better actors in it....... The Young VictoriaThe early years of the monarch Queen Victoria's rule and her legendary romance and marriage to Prince Albert.
 Didn't know the story about Queen Victoria. It was a good movie. Nice. June 02 DuplicityCIA officer Claire Stenwick and MI6 agent Ray Koval have left the world of government intelligence to cash in on the highly profitable cold war raging between two rival multinational corporations. Their mission? Secure the formula for a product that will bring a fortune to the company that patents it first. For their employers--industry titan Howard Tully and buccaneer CEO Dick Garsik--nothing is out of bounds.
 But as the stakes rise, the mystery deepens and the tactics get dirtier, the trickiest secret for Claire and Ray is their growing attraction. And as they each try to stay one double-cross ahead, two career loners find their schemes endangered by the only thing they can't cheat their way out of: love.
Shame that some movie makers try to make a movie just with a little twist different. So when wacthing this movie i thought of Mr.and Mrs. Smit. Only without the extra action. So this movie just see it over a year than you've forgotten about the other movie........... Confessions of a ShopaholicRebecca Bloomwood is a sweet and charming New York City girl who has a tiny, little problem that is rapidly turning into a big problem: she's hopelessly addicted to shopping and drowning in a sea of debt. While Rebecca has dreams of working for a top fashion magazine, she can't quite get her foot in the door -- that is, until she snags a job as an advice columnist for a new financial magazine published by the same company.
 Overnight, her column becomes hugely popular, turning her into an overnight celebrity, but when her compulsive shopping and growing debt issues threaten to destroy her love life and derail her career, she struggles to keep it all from spiraling out of control--and is ultimately forced to reevaluate what's really important in life.
Yes, after watching John Cena, i went and saw a chick-flick. And it was a nice movie. Nothing more.......... 12 RoundsWhen New Orleans Police Detective Danny Fisher stops a brilliant thief, Miles, from getting away with a multi-million-dollar heist, the thief's girlfriend is accidentally killed. After escaping from prison, the criminal mastermind enacts his revenge, taunting Danny with a series of near-impossible puzzles and tasks... 12 rounds... that Danny must somehow complete to save the life of his fiancee.
 John Cena knows what movies his followers like. Just some hard action movies. So some movies may look a like. This one isn't. So i enjoyed watching it.
May 08 State of PlayHandsome, unflappable U.S. Congressman Stephen Collins is the future of his political party: an honorable appointee who serves as the chairman of a committee overseeing defense spending. All eyes are upon the rising star to be his party's contender for the upcoming presidential race. Until his research assistant/mistress is brutally murdered and buried secrets come tumbling out.
 D.C. reporter Cal McCaffrey has the dubious fortune of both an old friendship with Collins and a ruthless editor, Cameron, who has assigned him to investigate. As he and partner Della try to uncover the killer's identity, McCaffrey steps into a cover-up that threatens to shake the nation's power structures. And in a town of spin-doctors and wealthy politicos, he will discover one truth: when billions are at stake, no one's integrity, love or life is ever safe. Good movie, but and that's a very big but, you can make movies just to diffucult to follow. This movie balances on a very tight rope. Yet with a star cast this movie makes it good to watch. April 26 He's Just Not That Into YouA group of interconnected, Baltimore-based twenty- and thirtysomethings navigate their various relationships from the shallow end of the dating pool through the deep, murky waters of married life, trying to read the signs of the opposite sex--and hoping to be the exceptions to the "no-exceptions"; rule.
Gigi just wants a man who says he'll call--and does--while Alex advises her to stop sitting by the phone. Beth wonders if she should call it off after years of committed singlehood with her boyfriend, Neil, but he doesn't think there's a single thing wrong with their unmarried life. Janine's not sure if she can trust her husband, Ben, who can't quite trust himself around Anna. Anna can't decide between the sexy married guy, or her straightforward, no-sparks standby, Conor, who can't get over the fact that he can't have her.
 And Mary, who's found an entire network of loving, supportive men, just needs to find one who's straight.
Nice movie yet for people who think this is more like a classic comedy about relationships............. it isn't! But still a good movie.  April 19 Winged CreaturesSurvivors of a restaurant murder are left to divine their own paths to understanding their connection to society.
 Nice little movie with some great actors in it. Fast & FuriousWhen a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto reignites his feud with agent Brian O'Conner. But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmanuever him.
 And from convoy heists to precision tunnel crawls across international lines, two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what's possible behind the wheel.
Great stuff. Finally Vin Diesel back in a Fast and Furious movie. This one i found i super great. A real classic! |
