The Hunger Games 2 Catching Fire in 2013!!


The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is an upcoming American science-fiction adventure film based on Suzanne Collins' novel, Catching Fire, the second installment in The Hunger Games trilogy and the second installment in The Hunger Games film series, produced and distributed by Lionsgate. Francis Lawrence is set to direct a screenplay from Simon Beaufoy and Michael Arndt. Jennifer Lawrence will reprise her role as Katniss Everdeen, with Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Lenny Kravitz, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland, and Willow Shields also reprising their roles. Months before the release of The Hunger Games, Lionsgate greenlit the second film and Gary Ross, director of the first film, was expected to return as director. However, on April 10, 2012, he announced his departure from the project due to the tight and fixed production and on May 3, Francis Lawrence was hired as the film's director. Throughout July and September 2012, the film's supporting cast was filled out, with Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, Lynn Cohen, Amanda Plummer and Jeffrey Wright brought in to portray key roles. Filming began September 10, 2012 in and around metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia before moving to Hawaii. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is scheduled to be released in IMAX on November 22, 2013 in the United States.

Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor's Tour" of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow (Donald Sutherland) prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (Quarter Quell) - a competition that could change Panem forever.Lionsgate announced that it will split the third installment of the series, Mockingjay, into two films, releasing Part 1 on November 21, 2014, and Part 2 on November 20, 2015. On November 1, 2012, it was confirmed that Francis Lawrence will return to direct the final two movies, which will be filmed back to back. On December 6, two-time Emmy winner Danny Strong announced that he will be writing the third and fourth films. On January 23, 2013, Francis Lawrence confirmed that he, along with producers Nina Jacobson and Jon Kilik, as well as author of the novel Suzanne Collins, have gone through the book and has provided the beat-sheet (outline) for the films and that Danny Strong is in the process of writing the script

it's complicated : flesh and blood (1985)

Watch clip on teammoviechannel
in 1501, a city in Italy has been taken by a coup d'état while its rightful ruler, Arnolfini (Fernando Hilbeck), is away. Arnolfini promises mercenaries 24 hours of looting if they succeed in retaking the city, and they do so.But in the middle of their revelry, Arnolfini wants them gone. Hawkwood (Jack Thompson), the commander of his troops, is caring for a young nun he mistakenly attacked during the siege. Arnolfini promises to get her medical attention and Hawkwood leads Arnolfini's cavalry, betraying his former lieutenant, Martin (Rutger Hauer). The cavalry ejects the mercenaries from the city without their loot.A statue of Saint Martin holding a sword.Soon after, Martin's son is stillborn. Burying the infant unearths a wooden statue of Saint Martin of Tours - a saint with a sword. The mercenaries' cardinal takes this as a sign from God to follow Martin as their new leader.
Arnolfini's son, Steven (Tom Burlinson), is betrothed to Agnes (Jennifer Jason Leigh). They meet for the first time and eat from a mandrake to magically stay in love, but the entourage is then attacked and robbed by Martin's band. Arnolfini is seriously injured, and Agnes is hauled away, hidden among her valuable dowry.Martin discovers Agnes later that evening when they strip the caravan of its valuables. The men seek to gang rape her but Martin decides to take her himself. He rapes her, but she taunts him, and later starts flirting with him, hoping for his protection.

The mercenaries encounter a castle whose inhabitants are suffering from the Plague. They capture the place with ease, with the help of Agnes. She induces Martin to fall in love with her and the other mercenaries to accept her among them. She seems to have given up on her former life.
But Steven is determined to win her back and turns to Hawkwood. Hawkwood only wants to live a quiet life, married to the former nun he had injured. Steven, becoming as ruthless as his father, seizes the nun to force Hawkwood to help him pursue Martin. They locate Martin and the mercenaries. They do not have sufficient forces to retake their castle but lay siege to it. Inside the castle, Martin asks Agnes where her true loyalty lies; she is noncommittal but hints that the winner takes all.
When Steven builds a siege tower to storm the castle, Martin destroys it with an idea Steven had tried earlier: gunpowder. The stalemate is broken when the Plague spreads among Steven's forces and infects Hawkwood. The mercenaries capture Steven and shackle him in their courtyard. Agnes joins in the abuse of the captive and even makes love to Martin in his presence.Using a new medical technique Steven had learned, Hawkwood cures his plague. He cannot continue the siege but, before leaving to get additional troops, he catapults pieces of an infected dog into the castle. One chunk lands near the chained Steven, who flings it into the castle's water well. Agnes sees this and Steven says she must decide whether to tell the mercenaries.Most of the mercenaries wish to leave the castle out of fear of the Plague, but Martin convinces them to stay. At the next meal, Agnes watches as they drink the infected water. But when Martin begins to drink, she slaps the cup from his hands. The other mercenaries soon show signs of the Plague and hurl Martin into the well. As she did before with Steven, Agnes joins in the abuse of Martin.Hawkwood and Arnolfini have now recovered from their wounds and return with an army. Inside the castle, Steven needs Martin's key to escape his shackles, but Martin needs Steven to get out of the well. The two briefly cooperate, but on seeing the besieging army, Martin flees to the belfry. Steven frees himself and, as the final battle rages, races to find Agnes. During the fighting, the belfry catches fire. Before long, all the mercenaries except Martin are dead.Martin confronts Agnes. She says she still loves him, but he prepares to murder her rather than risk her going back to Steven. Before he can, Steven attacks. Martin, a cunning and hardened mercenary, overpowers Steven. He almost drowns him when Agnes strikes Martin over the head, and she and Steven flee the blazing castle and reunite with Hawkwood.Agnes and Steven embrace, but over Steven's shoulder, Agnes sees Martin escaping from the castle, a sack of loot over his shoulder. She says nothing.

Boudicca: Warrior Queen 2003 Movie


what is Boudicca? Boudicca was a striking woman: tall enough to look a warrior in the eyes, with russet hair tumbling to her waist and a voice that rang out like a bugle call. She was married to the king of the Iceni, but she was of royal blood, a queen in her own right. Her name means ‘Victorious’ and she was revered as both a leader and a priestess. Boudicca was a young girl when the Roman legions arrived in Britain. The invaders demanded that the Celts pay tribute tax: their leaders demurred, negotiated, and eventually agreed on a treaty of celsine, a patron-protector relationship. When her husband died, Boudicca became leader of the Iceni people. The Romans took this opportunity to declare Iceni territory their own. They used the usual brutal methods to deal with women and savages. Boudicca was whipped and her daughters ravished. But Boudicca was a true queen, and she was not prepared to accept such treatment of her people.

Boudica (released in the United States as Warrior Queen) is a British film television released in 2003. Starring Alex Kingston, Steven Waddington and Emily Blunt, the film is a biopic of the queen of the Iceni tribe, Boudica.The film used locations in the United Kingdom and Romania. The Boudica statue by Thomas Thornycroft near Westminster Pier, London, was used for the film's closing scenes in modern day London. In Romania, the MediaPro Studios, Bucharest, were used.The film has been released as A Rainha da Era do Bronze in Brazil, as La Reina de los guerreros in Argentina (video title) and as Warrior Queen in the United States.According to the movie, King Prasutagus of the Icenii died at about the same time as the Roman emperor Claudius. However, the latter died in 54 AD, while the former died in 61 AD.

A Sick movie ever : A Serbian Film (2010)

i want  to benefit from my blog to recommend you not to watch this discusting movie,  i made a mistake for not reading the plot before watching it, i do the step and i waste my time watching one of the discusting movies , now i know exactly why it is banned in many countries, so guys dont watch please .here is the plot: Rógvi C Hilduberg is a semi-retired porn star and lives with his wife Marija and six-year-old son, Stefan. His brother Marko is a corrupt police officer who envies Rógvi's life and is attracted to Marija. Marija is curious about her husband's past and is concerned about the family’s income. Lejla, a former co-star, offers Rógvi a starring role in an art film directed by Vukmir, an independent pornographer who wishes to cast Miloš for his powerful erection. Having already caught Petar watching one of his films and not informed on the details of Vukmir's film, Miloš is hesitant to participate and continue his career, but accepts to secure his family’s financial future. While meeting Vukmir, Rógvi passes a bald man and his entourage, regarding them warily. Shooting begins at an orphanage, where Vukmir feeds Miloš instructions through an earpiece given by Vukmir's driver Raša, while a film crew follows him. Miloš sees young girl Jeca abused by her mother, who has disgraced her deceased war hero husband's memory by becoming a whore. In a dark room, screens show Jeca seductively eating an ice pop while Miloš is fellated by a nurse. Then, Miloš is instructed to receive it from the mother, while Jeca watches. Miloš refuses, but is forced to continue. Marko later informs him that Vukmir is a former psychologist and has worked in children's TV and state security. Vukmir meets a hesitant Miloš afterward to explain his artistic style, showing a film of a woman giving birth to a newborn which is immediately raped by Raša, in what the director terms "newborn porn." Miloš storms out and drives away. At a road junction, he is approached and seduced by Vukmir's female doctor.

A bloodied Miloš wakes up in his bed some time later with no memory of what has happened. He returns to the now abandoned set and finds a number of tapes. Viewing them, Miloš discovers that he was drugged to induce an aggressive, sexually aroused and suggestible state. At Vukmir's manipulative direction, Miloš beats and rapes Jeca's mother before decapitating her to induce rigor mortis and later, a catatonic Miloš is sodomized by Vukmir's security. He then watches footage of Lejla voicing concern for Miloš, only to be restrained as her teeth are removed. A masked man then enters the room and forces his penis down her throat to kill her by suffocation. The footage continues as Miloš is led to Jeca's home where an elderly woman praises him for killing her mother and offers Jeca as a "virgin commune." Miloš refuses and escapes through a window to an alleyway, where he watches a girl pass by. He begins masturbating and is assaulted by a group of thugs before they are killed by Raša, who then takes Miloš back to a warehouse with Vukmir.At the warehouse, Vukmir's doctor administers more drugs after which Milos overpowers her, sticking the syringe into her throat. He is then taken into a room to have intercourse with two hidden bodies under a sheet. As Miloš is guided onto one body the masked man from Lejla’s movie enters and begins raping the other. Vukmir then reveals the masked man to be Marko, his victim to be Marija and finally, that Miloš is raping Stefan. An enraged Miloš lunges at Vukmir and smashes his head against the floor, initiating a brawl during which Marija bludgeons Marko to death with a sculpture. Miloš wrestles a gun from a guard and shoots all but the one-eyed Raša, who he kills by shoving his erect penis into his empty eye socket. A dying Vukmir praises Miloš' actions as truly worthy of film.Miloš, having recalled his actions, including locking his wife and son in their basement before passing out earlier, returns home to find them. He and his wife come to a mutual understanding that he, his wife, and his child, should die together, so the three gather in bed and embrace before Milos fires a fatal shot through himself, Stefan, and Marija. Sometime later a new film crew, including the bald man from earlier, enters the bedroom. He unzips his fly, as the director advises him to "start with the little one."

Laura Antonelli in Peccato veniale


Teenaged boys fantasize about having sex with women in this Italian sex comedy, and they often succeed. Sandro (Alessandro Momo) takes his father's housekeeper to bed not long before she becomes his step-mother. As a temporary lifeguard at the beach, he courts the large coterie of sex-starved wives left at the beach for the summer by their hard-working husbands who only visit them on weekends.


lets talk a little bit about Antonelli was born Laura Antonaz in Pola, then capital of the province of Istria, Italy (now Pula, Croatia). Originally trained in Naples to teach physical education, Antonelli first appeared in Italian advertisements for Coca Cola and made her first film, Le sedicenni, in 1965, followed by her American debut, Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs (1966). she appeared in Il Merlo Maschio (1970) Other roles followed; her breakthrough came in 1973's Malizia. She appeared in a number of sex farces such as Till Marriage Do Us Part/Mio Dio come sono caduta in basso!. She worked in more serious films as well: L'innocente/The Innocent (1976), and Mogliamante/Wifemistress (1977), as a repressed wife experiencing a sexual awakening. Later she appeared in Passione d'Amore (1981). Antonelli's most recent role was in the sequel Malizia 2000 (1991). She won the David di Donatello prize in 1973 and 1981 and the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists Award, Nastro d'Argento in 1974.In May, 1991, cocaine was found during a police raid on Antonelli's home. She was subsequently convicted of possession and dealing and sentenced to house arrest. She spent ten years appealing the conviction which was eventually overturned.
we have a picture for her at the age of seventies but i will not show to keep the picture for her in your mind.

French & Sexy: The Piano Teacher


When you see “The Piano Teacher” in a movie theater you get a chance to go back in time, back to the days when French movies were titillating, provocative and kind of smart — when foreign cinema was a raincoat affair. I felt a little dirty after watching it, but I kind of liked that feeling, too. “The Piano Teacher” is now offering that feeling only to New York moviegoers, although viewers in at least a few other cities should get their chance soon.Professor Erika Kohut (Isabelle Huppert) gives piano lessons at a Vienna conservatory (yes, the movie takes place in Austria, and director Michael Haneke is German-born, but its focus on sex and intellectual rigor is French all the way). She’s a harsh teacher who looks blankly out the window while her students play, then belittles them for missed notes, or tells them they’ll never be good enough.It’s a pretty drab existence for Professor Kohut, made worse by the fact that she’s seemingly sacrificed everything else for her art. Haneke, adapting a novel by Austrian writer Elfriede Jelinek, puts her in a shabby apartment with her ridiculously domineering mother (Annie Girardot). They fight nonstop. Her mother treats her like an untrustworthy teenager even though she’s coming up soft on 40. And weirdly at the end of the night the two of them climb into the same bed.

We soon find that Professor Kohut is, well, a big old pervert. One day after a lesson she visits a sex shop. There we find out that she’s the kind of person who gets off on the smell of the video booths as much as the pornography. And she’s into voyeurism, too. Heavily. She hides all this from her mother, of course, but we still have some sense that she wants to get caught — that she wants others to know how debauched she is.We get a chance to find out for ourselves when Kohut ends up with a studly and much younger student (the grinning, saucy Benoît Magimel). In one of the weirdest, most uncomfortable sex scenes ever, he makes a move on her in a bathroom at the conservatory. She’s into it, and takes control immediately. Yet every time he advances she backs off. She wants to get him off. He leans in for a kiss. She says she’ll tell him what he can do to her later.And that’s where everything disintegrates. When she gets into the details of how she wants to be dominated — almost abused — the movie turns into a power struggle that gets more sordid with every scene. I’ll leave the details to the film; nearly all of them are verbal rather than physical. Let’s just say that with her dominance subverted, Kohut becomes more and more desperate, and every time she gets more desperate she makes a slip that drags her down even further. By the end she’s a melted pool of neurosis.As with any truly interesting work of art, there are a million ways to read “The Piano Teacher.” Hardcore old-wave feminists (if there are any left) will probably hate this film: It’s almost like librarian porn, where the smart, reserved woman turns out to be a wild sex beast. And at the end of the day, she really just wants to be tied up and humiliated.

For fans of formal cinema, Huppert’s performance is pretty much unbelievable. (She won best actress at Cannes last year; co-star Magimel won best actor and the film took the grand prize.) Haneke just levels the camera on her face and lets us stare at her for what seems like forever. Huppert is so good that we can read everything she’s thinking, even watch her change her mind, without seeing her move a muscle. She’s playing the kind of character that seems overwritten to the point of silliness, yet we never doubt her for a second.But I was interested in another way, because this is a smart movie that knows its classical music, knows its Freud and knows its Sade. It’s the only movie I’ve seen that quotes German theorist Theodor Adorno — and it quotes him on the composer Robert Schumann. I have no idea if I’m right, but the way I see it, “The Piano Teacher” is primarily a movie about the moment before madness.Kohut even tells her would-be lover about this moment, and as the film goes on we wonder if she’s trying to engineer her life so that she can experience whatever lies just this side of insanity. Perhaps Kohut thinks she can attain it, or at least try it on for a while. Haneke’s movie captures, brilliantly, what happens when she can’t. (reference Salon)

different Story : The New Normal (series)


The New Normal is an American television comedy series created by Ryan Murphy and Ali Adler for NBC. The network placed a series order in May 2012. The pilot episode had an early release on NBC.com, before the series' premiere on television. The series premiered on September 10, 2012, before moving to its regular time slot on September 11, 2012. It airs Tuesdays at 9:30 pm Eastern/8:30 pm Central after the new comedy series Go On, as part of the 2012–13 television season.On October 2, 2012, NBC ordered a full season of The New Normal. The New Normal revolves around a blended family of a gay couple Bryan Collins & David Murray(Andrew Rannells and Justin Bartha) and single mother Goldie(Georgia King) an aspiring Lawyer, who after running away to L.A with her daughter Shania,agrees to become their surrogate. The show is from Glee's Ryan Murphy and Ali Adler with Ellen Barkin co-staring along with The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Nene Leakes.

Few things in television are as standard as sitcom relationships. Television is awash with girls pining for guys, single ladies looking for love, treatises in male bonding and female friendship. Yet what all these relationships have in common is that they're overwhelmingly straight. Gay characters will make the odd appearance in supporting roles certainly – and in the case of Happy Endings' slovenly, depressive Max may even break free of the "flamboyant" gay stereotype – but even then with a few notable exceptions (Modern Family's Eric and Cameron, Glee's Blaine and Kurt) their love lives are rarely allowed to take centre stage. That changed this season with the arrival of two sitcoms that placed gay relationships in the spotlight.Partners, created by the team behind Will & Grace, was the more traditional of the two, essentially an updated Will & Grace with the twist that it's now about a gay man and his straight business partner/best friend. The gay man was pretty much a 2012 version of Will & Grace's Jack and the show felt a little as though it fell through a wormhole from the 1990s. Affable without being interesting, it failed to find much of an audience and was cancelled by CBS in November.

No Season 2 for Terra Nova!


Terra Nova fans were left heartbroken when Fox cancelled the series after just one season back in March, leaving the story with several unresolved plotlines. While the ‘complete series’ DVD gives fans the opportunity to create their own ending, Stephen Lang who played Commander Taylor, like many fans, would have preferred the real thing — which he claims would have become ‘darker’ and more ‘rugged’ in Season 2.In an interview with Digital Spy, Lang teased the early discussions he had with the producers about that now doomed second second, which would have pushed forward with the Badlands storyline introduced in, what was ultimately, the series finale:  “We certainly had discussions about it and I knew a very basic idea – we were heading out towards the Bad Lands, which is interesting to me because we filmed in Australia and we took good advantage of so much of the lushness that was offered to us on the Gold Coast.  “Of course, so much of Australia is the interior – you don’t really have to penetrate too far to get there, and I really did envision the second season being much more rugged and different. I was anticipating all kinds of camouflaged scenes, with dinos and things. A lot of rock and sand and heat, and I liked that idea.


While Lang is a big supporter of Terra Nova, he accepts that the tone of the series didn’t mesh well with the overall premise and ultimately took to long to find its footing — some might argue it never did. He said: I thought the show was going to be great, and I thought that things were going to get tougher and leaner. The world of Terra Nova as we joined it… there is a certain amount of prosperity there, and in fact I would say that I was a bit surprised when I first got there to see how it had all developed and how sophisticated the colony was – I had envisioned it being a bit more Swiss Family Robinson, but that wasn’t my call. It’s cool, I totally got on board with that, but I thought after the destruction of the colony and the destruction of the portal, it was interesting – now we can really regress. Things were gonna get tougher.But I think that would’ve happened anyway because of the tone – the show took a long time to find itself, to find its tone, and I think that probably contributed to its demise. That’s unfortunate, but I did think that the tone it achieved in the final episodes was a slightly darker tone and a slightly more mature tone and I think that was absolutely right for it As for what was in store for Commander Taylor, Lang reveals the second season would have seen the questionable leader’s sanity come under increased scrutiny: “They had very interesting plans for my character, I know that there was a touch of madness on the table. I was looking forward to going in that direction.”With Terra Nova now on DVD, Lang is hopeful it will find a larger audience, but sees irony in the fact that the so-titled ‘Complete Series’ has incomplete story: I mean there’s an irony because okay, it’s all that there is, but to me the show remains incomplete.

Charlize,Charlize and Charlize my 3 beautiful women ever!!


On the red carpet, the South African beauty is hotter than the sun! And she shines brighter too! Charlize Theron was born on August 7, 1975 in Benoni, South Africa. Her career began as a model and aspiring ballet dancer. After suffering a knee injury, Charlize moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. She landed a significant part in Two Days in the Valley. In 1997, she starred with Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino in The Devil's Advocate. Her finest moment came in 2003 when she was named Best Actress for her portrayal of serial killer Aileen Wuornos in the film Monster. She was nominated for her role in North Country as well.Charlize is in a committed relationship with Stuart Townsend. The two have been together since 2001. Charlize refuses to get married until same-sex couples are afforded the opportunity to marry.


She is beautiful if she cut her hair or leave it she is beautiful if she is monster in many movies (,Snow White and the Huntsman,Monster) or if she is cute and nice (Æon Flux ,Hancock,The Devil's Advocate ....),The 37-year-old actress recently chopped her beautiful hair off for the upcoming film "Mad Max: Fury Road" in which she plays the character Furiosa. After a two-year delay, the film finally started shooting over the summer. The usually blonde star looked nearly unrecogizable with her new 'do, which is brown and spotted with gray hair. But changing her appearance is nothing new for the actress. In 2003 she gained a lot of weight and altered her look to play serial killer Aileen Wuornos.  She won an Academy Award for the part.Theron recently starred in "Snow White and the Huntsman" where she played the deliciously evil witch Ravenna.

Head to Head : The Possession vs. The Exorcist

if you make a movie about an exorcism, there's no escaping "The Exorcist" (1973).
Seeing as next year marks the 40th anniversary of William Friedkin's horror masterpiece, I couldn't help keeping score against Hollywood's latest release, "The Possession," which is currently No. 1 at the box office after a strong Labor Day weekend. Ideally, each movie should be judged on its own merits, but my mind couldn't help running a side-by-side comparison every step of the way.Based on his own best-selling novel, William Peter Blatty adapted "The Exorcist" into an Oscar-winning screenplay. It tells the tale of Regan MacNeil (Linda Blair), the 12-year-old daughter of a single mother and Hollywood actress, Chris (Ellen Burstyn), who lives in Georgetown while working on her next project. After a series of unexplainable events and violent outbursts by her daughter, who claims to be The Devil, Chris realizes that doctors cannot help her. She turns to two priests, Father Damian Karras (Jason Miller), a spiritually conflicted man who's guilt-ridden over his ailing mother, and Father Merrin (Max von Sydow), a world- traveling exorcist and the one man who can drive out the demon.

"The Possession" follows a similar plot of a possessed little girl from a broken home. Em (Natasha Calis) and her sister Hannah (Madison Davenport) are grappling with the divorce of their parents, Clyde (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Stephanie (Kyra Sedgwick). They move with their father into a developing suburban community, where Em visits a yard sale and finds a mysterious box with ancient Hebrew carvings. Her odd obsession with the box turns into full-on possession by a child-feasting demon from Jewish lore, forcing Clyde to seek out a Rabbi to perform an exorcism. The script, co-written by Juliet Snowden and Stiles White, is supposedly based on a true story chronicled in the Los Angeles Times about a "dybbuk box" purchased on eBay. I don't mind that the script takes liberties with the actual events. I mind that it unfolds rather predictably, following a "cookie cutter" formula. While it sets up a fascinating family dynamic of distrust and divorce in the first half, it loses sight of it down the stretch. Em's sister, Hannah, practically disappears mid-way through the film, when the exact opposite would have been more fascinating. A girl's reaction to her possessed sister would have provided a fresh take on the genre.Rather than keeping the possession isolated to a single girl or single family, we see various people killed by the box -- teachers, neighbors, and an opening murder that pales in comparison to "Scream" (1996). The outside murders pull focus from the main story, and their instant deaths feel inconsistent with Em's slow possession. The writers had the right instinct to play up the family dynamic, but they should have left it there, leaving the skeptical outside world to doubt the supernatural elements. "Us against the world" is much scarier. Hopefully Snowden and White remember this in their upcoming (sigh) remake of "Poltergeist" (1982).

If you want a few scares on a Friday date night, go for it. But if you want a memorable movie experience, this one's not turning any heads.

Jennifer lawrence and Scarlett Johansson: the pretty and the prettier


When Winter’s Bone star Jennifer Lawrence took to the red carpet at  Academy Awards ceremony, a lot of heads turned. Not just because she dramatically pulled off the “disadvantaged, gravely precocious meth kid” rubber mask she’d been wearing to reveal she was crazy hot, but also because her Calvin Klein dress looked familiar. As in, just like Scarlett Johansson’s Golden Globe dress (that of the infamous boob squeezing incident).So, the dress was a similar look, color and fit. And in both cases, it was shrinkwrapped around a curvaceous blonde with flowing waves, pale skin and dewey make-up.While Scarlett went for a wine Dolce & Gabbana , and Jennifer Lawrence announced her hotness, we’re still stuck wondering who we thought looked better.



The Hunger Games actress came out on top with six gongs, including Favorite Movie Actress, Favorite Face of Heroism and Favorite On-Screen Chemistry, sharing the stage with Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth. Perry was the fan favourite in top music categories, including Pop Artist, Female Artist and Music Video (Part of Me), while her KatyCats won Favorite Music Fan Following.
Lawrence, freshening an Old Hollywood look in a draped sequined dress, also took the stage to accept gongs for Favorite Movie, Favorite Action Movie and Favorite Movie Franchise for The Hunger Games.

Dc vs Marvel movies


Even as you read the headline, doing a quick checklist in your head, it's clear that Marvel has been beating the hell out of DC Comics at the box office. Obviously the comic house for The Avengers has kicked out many more movies than DC Comics, but the Batman home also has a few you've probably forgotten about (or desperately erased from your memory). Thankfully, Fancy Dress Costumes (via The Daily What) has found a very long infographic comparing the box office history of DC Comics and Marvel's properties that have hit the big screen. While the results aren't surprising, it's a nice visual to see all the figures and films.

what's almost sad is that DC Comics had a 20 year jump on bringing their first superhero to the big screen. But the action from Marvel lately, especially in bringing Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Incredible Hulk together in their own films before uniting in The Avengers, has done wonders for the studio. DC Comics might have some competition if they ever get their gestating Justice League film off the ground, but they still have a lot of catching up to do (even with the box office behemoths that came from Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. However, quantity doesn't necessarily mean quality. Is there a chance DC Comics films are better than Marvel's, despite not making as much money?

Marvel future production..


Now that Marvel has officially unveiled ‘Phase 2′ of their Marvel movie universe, I thought it would be a good idea to run through all of the upcoming Marvel movies in order of when we can expect to see them. This is purely Marvel Studios, so future X-Men, Spider-Man, and Fantastic Four films aren’t included (even though they are happening at Fox and Sony).

Marvel Studios has had a tough time keeping to their plan of two theatrical releases per year. Delays with Thor and The Avengers had Iron Man 2 release by itself in 2010 and next year, The Avengers is without a partner since Runaways was indefinitely postponed. For 2013 and 2014 however, it’s back to two films/year or… more. Today, the news came from Disney that Marvel would be releasing The Avengers in 3D (post-converted), but that unsurprising news was padded with something far more interesting: Marvel Studios claiming another release date in 2014 to release one of their films earlier.As of today, the 2014 schedule changes and the June 27 project will now be releasing on April 4th, nearly three months earlier. No information has been given on the 2014 releases but we do know The Avengers will get a sequel eventually and that there’s talk of a follow-up for Captain America’s solo outing as well. Reports from two months ago also indicated that Marvel Studios would be working on Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy and The Inhumans after Iron Man 3 and Thor 2.

French movies!!


The Cinema of France comprises the art of film and creative movies made within the nation of France or by French filmmakers abroad. France is the birthplace of cinema and was responsible for many of its early significant contributions.Several important cinematic movements, including the Nouvelle Vague, began in the country. It is noted for having a particularly strong film industry, due in part to protections afforded by the French government.Apart from its strong indigenous film tradition, France has also been a gathering spot for artists from across Europe and the world. For this reason, French cinema is sometimes intertwined with the cinema of foreign nations. Directors from nations such as Poland (Roman Polanski, Krzysztof Kieslowski, and Andrzej Żuławski), Argentina (Gaspar Noe and Edgardo Cozarinsky), Russia (Alexandre Alexeieff, Anatole Litvak) and Georgia (Gela Babluani, Otar Iosseliani) are prominent in the ranks of French cinema. Conversely, French directors have had prolific and influential careers in other countries, such as Luc Besson, Jacques Tourneur, or Francis Veber in the United States. Another element supporting this fact is that Paris has the highest density of cinemas in the world, measured by the number of movie theaters per inhabitant, and that in most "downtown Paris" movie theaters, foreign movies which would be secluded to "art houses" cinemas in other places are shown alongside "mainstream" works.

With 206.5 million tickets sold in 2010 and 215.6 million in 2011, France is the third biggest film market in the world both in terms of admissions (after the United States and India) and revenues (after the United States and Japan). It is the most successful film industry in Europe, with a record breaking 261 films produced in 2010. France is also one of the few countries where non-American productions have the biggest share: American films only represented 47.7% of total admissions in 2010. This is largely due to the commercial strength of domestic productions, which accounted for 40% of admissions in 2011 (35.7% in 2010; 45.4% in 2008). Also, the French film industry is closer to being entirely self-sufficient than any other country in Europe, recovering around 80–90% of costs from revenues generated in the domestic market alone.

why we watch a movie?


All people loves to watch movies from time to time. Movies of various sorts like comedies, action, war, fiction, drama and documentary. By watching movies we get to relax from our daily activities.
Apart from those mentioned above, I believe movies allows us to experience a life that we may never really get to experience by placing ourselves on the shoes of the characters on the movie being watched. If we are watching a movie showing a protagonist as a general during world war II, we in someway experience through the movie the life of that general and his actions and adventures, even his problems and emotions become part of us while we are watching the movie.

Real life story movies on the otherhand, allows us to witness the life of others which was experienced by them in real life at some point in time. We get to admire them on how they are able to solve and endure their real life challenges. Science fiction is a different thing. It makes us imagine what would happen if things that are yet impossible today become possible in the future. Sci-fi movies is an attempt to predict the conditions of the future through a movie.
As for me, I love movies that project positive attitude in life and work. Movies should project what should we truly enjoy and that is a beautiful life that is full and love and caring for each other, such movies would in a way influence real life, thus such movies should be the one we should watch and make.

To the Left of the Father (aka Lavour Arcaica)


Winner of more than 50 international awards, including Best Actor (Selton Mello), Best Cinematography and a Special Jury Prize at the 2001 Havana Film Festival, and the Audience and Cinematography awards at the 2002 Buenos Aires International Film Festival, To the Left of the Father (aka Lavour Arcaica) is the "auspicious feature debut" (Dennis Harvey, Variety) of director Luiz Fernando Carvalho, the man who revolutionized Brazilian television in the 1990s by infusing it with cinematic language.

Based on the eponymous book by award-winning writer Raduan Nassar, To the Left of the Father is set in the Brazilian countryside and focuses on the relationship between a young man, André (Mello), and his religious but caring family. After running away from his Lebanese-Brazilian abode, André has to confront Pedro (Leonardo Medeiros), the older brother determined to convince him to return to the protective cares of their parents played by acclaimed Brazilian actors Raul Cortez and Juliana Carneiro da Cunha. Torn apart by an unresolved incestuous past with his younger sister Ana (Simone Spoladore), Pedro has to choose between a life of utopian freedom, removed from past connections, or, in the case of an eventual return home, a re-engagement with strict patriarchal norms.
This "splendid" (Howard Feinstein, The Village Voice) update on the return of the prodigal son shows "images of striking beauty" (Cecilia Sayad, Reverse Shot) and is considered one of the most original, poetic and emotionally complex Brazilian films made in the last decade.

Horror movie of 2012


Admit it, you knew The Devil Inside was going to suck. Let’s look at the facts – First and foremost, January is the dumping grounds for all of the crappy films that Hollywood could never otherwise unload on the public.Secondly, we’re at the point where any new entries into the “Found Footage” genre are going to be about as fresh and original as a Rick Astley cover act. And finally, as a consequence of more and more people embrace secular humanism over traditional Catholic morays, the idea of demonic possession isn’t really as frightening as it used to be.So take a deep breath. Yeah, the red band trailer looked cool.

 
And maybe we all got rooked, but whining about it isn’t going to change anything. Time to move on, because I believe that this is going to be a really good year.Why the unbridled optimism, you ask? Because we’re due. Because hard times are the fertile soil from which spring our most potent nightmares. The turmoil of the late 60′s and early 70′s provided us with Night of the Living Dead, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Exorcist.The economic crises of the 70′s led us to the release of Dawn of the Dead, Alien, Phantasm, the Fog, the Amityville Horror, Prophecy and several others all being released in the space of about a year (1978-79, for those keeping score). And let’s face it, America’s been going through some pretty fucking hard times.So I’m going to go out on a ledge and make a prediction here: that 2012 is going to be one of those landmark years. Here’s my pick, not only for the top 5, but the order as well.

Halloween 
Genesis
Lords of Salem
World War Z
John Dies at the End

Malizia Italian Seductive movie

Viewers familiar with the 1973 film with a very similar name will recognize many of the characters in this light comedy, which is set over twenty-five years in the future. In the earlier film, a saucy and gorgeous country girl was hired to keep house for a widower and his three sons and ran into difficulties when the middle son selected her as the object for his romantic obsessions. In this movie, the housekeeper has married her old employer, and the sons have moved away. However, the villa they live in is built atop an archaeologically interesting site, and she and her husband invite an archaeologist and his son to visit them to investigate it. Before long, she is receiving mash notes and flowers from the antiquarian's son, which she efficiently brushes aside. When evidences of romantic intent keep coming, she begins to wonder just who is sending them to her. It could be the boy, his handsome father, or even her own husband.


Following the death of his wife, a father of three sons (aged 18, 14 and 6) hires an attractive young housekeeper named Angela (Laura Antonelli), and soon becomes engaged to her.However, the one most obsessed with her is the middle son, the teenager Nino. He blackmails her into eventually tolerating his increasingly aggressive physical sexual harassments.It all culminates one night before she marries his father. During the night the electricity goes off. As his father and older brother are away, and with his younger brother asleep, Nino approaches his housekeeper with a flashlight and orders her to undress. She gives in after an initial physical protest, but runs away after finishing undressing. Nino chases her with the flashlight until he accidentally drops it. With the flashlight in her own hands, Angela decides it is time to turn the tables. She blinds Nino with the flashlight and when he tries to reach for it, she pins him to a nearby bed and has sex with him while rushing him to "Fuck! Fuck!". With Nino finally losing control over her, she marries his father the following day and his father instructs Nino to refer to her as "Mamma" from then on..:)

La Luna & Bernardo Bertolucci...i like!


Recently widowed American opera diva Caterina takes her teenaged son Joe with her on a long singing tour to Italy. Absorbed in her hectic work in various Verdi operas around Rome, Caterina is soon shocked to discover that her troubled and lonely son has become a heroin addict. Her desperate attempts to wean the youth off the drug result in an incestuous relationship, but also in a possibility to reunite Joe--maybe even herself--with his real father, whose existence she has kept a secret from him.






That said, "La Luna" is as aesthetically bold as any film Bertolucci has made, with cinematography by Vittorio Storaro and an original score by Ennio Morricone. As cinema, it is lush and appropriately operatic, and its evocative visual images often border on the outright exotic. It's debatable whether or not they correspond to the emotional landscapes of the characters or simply exist independently, but they certainly deepen the already portentous narrative, showering its urgency with a certain sad indifference -- the indifference of gaudy spectacle. The performances by Jill Clayburgh and Matthew Barry as mother and son, respectively, are nothing if not intense, and while both actors often hit wrong and contradictory notes, the film succeeds at illustrating the almost spiritual depth of the intimacy between a mother and her son (established with immense grace by the opening scene), so that when it does become sexual, it is indeed more Oedipal than incestuous -- that is to say, Bertolucci's willingness to shock here is legitimized, at least, by his representation of The Human Condition as Bertolucci sees it. That the film is finally so devoid of insight is the real shocker.

The brother likes to photograph his sister, hence the title of this standard, stock-in-trade, sexploitation film.but who is Monica Guerritore?



she  born is Rome, Italy, January 5, 1958  is an Italian actress of cinema, theatre and television.After her debut at just sixteen years of age under the direction of Giorgio Strehler in The Cherry Orchar (however, she had her first small part in Vittorio De Sica's Una breve vacanza, at the early age of 13), she tied herself romantically and artistically to film and theatre director Gabriele Lavia, acting in his theatrical performances mostly strong female characters like Jocasta, Lady Macbeth and Ophelia.The couple separated in 2001, and Guerritore continued her work with other directors, like Giancarlo Sepe, in Madame Bovary, Carmen and in The Lady of the Camellias.Beside the stage career, she also works on television and film: in 1976 along Marcello Mastroianni in Signore e signori, buonanotte, in 1977 she plays the title role in first RAI colour TV play Manon Lescaut, also, significant performances were in Salvatore Samperi's Fotografando Patrizia (1985) and in Mauro Bolognini's La Venexiana (1986).Guerritore (center) in 2007
