Story evolves around aliens. Aliens who visited our blue planet. For a change they did not land on the American soil. Although first contact was forced on them they did not retaliate and obliterate the Earth. And for a change we were asked to help them.Intriguing plot and so I decided to watch it.

Egoistic nations of the Earth will help poor starving refugee aliens. Sure we will. Lock them in a slum in the middle of South Africa and act like you try to help them. Eventually gain their trust and win over their superior technology. Obliterate them as a thank you and as a notice to other aliens who might be passing by. Keep them in District 9, a slum near Johannesburg. If local population becomes tired of visitors reallocate them to District 10. There we will have total authority to do all the necessary expe…

And so it begins. MNU Agents storm the District 9 and start the relocation process. Lead by Wicus Van De Mere who is played by Sharlto Copley. He is really an unknown actor but from my perspective a rising star.  Movie will surely bring some fame to director Niel Blomkamp who was, with Terri Tatchell a screenplay writer. It was produced by Peter Jackson, you know the “Lord of the Rings” guy? Good part of the movie is shot as a documentary, the other part can be described as a sci-fi thriller full of action sequences and drama. Superb acting, good CGI, interesting setting.

Simple 8 of 10((what can I say I like sci-fi with good CGI)).

Movie depicts a lot of violence, blood, body parts, aliens and human scum. R Rated so I don’t recommend that you allow your kids to watch it. Unless they have good stomach. As always here is the trailer.

Lets check some movie facts. It was directed by the same guy that directed Starsky & Hutch; Todd Phillips that is, and I must say he visualized the script; written by John Lucas and Scott Moore  in a funny and mysterious way so that the movie keeps the viewer in suspense till the end. But for your movie ticket you will also get 100 minutes of comedy. Actors Bradley Cooper portraying Phil, Ed Helms as Stu, Justin Bartha as the groom to be Dough and Zach Galifianakis as a brother in law to be – the bearded Alen start their four Musketeer last night in Sin City.

Movie starts 5 hours before the wedding with a call to worried bride to be? Phil is calling to tell her information about Dough, and then the roller coaster of memories starts…

I can easily rate the movie 7 of 10.

Through memories we discover what the Musketeers did on the last night. All the funny, gambling, nut and strip-tease memories are compacted into simple, yet unpredictable story.  Some of the movie scenes are obscene and the movie is rated R so you might think twice about viewing the movie with children. Otherwise I can recommend it if you are looking for a relaxing and thought free evening.

Here is a trailer; a sample of what you will be getting.

In the past maps were used to seek a treasure. Wooden chest full of gold coins and necklaces or rubies and crowns with gold chalices and guns filled with gun powder and don’t forget grog. Yes grog, with a feistful lass by your pirate alter ego and one eyed Poly with a cracker in her beak.

But alas, modern age brings complicated technology to seek different kind of treasure. You the new age pirate have to use your wits and your stamina for this outdoor activity, called Geocaching. It requires Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or some other navigational method to hide and seek a case or a container with a treasure anywhere in the world.

A waterproof container obligatory contains a logbook and a pen. If large enough it may also contain items for trading (toys, books, geocoins, travel-bugs…). As a geocacher bury a waterproof container with or without trade items somewhere on the globe and with the help of your GPS record the cache’s coordinates. Post the coordinates on a listing site, located for example here.

Other geocachers seeking the treasure, will obtain the coordinates from a listing site. They seek out the cache using their GPS handheld receivers. The seeking geocachers record their achievement in the logbook within the container and online. Trade objects are free to take (except the logbook and pen) from the cache, but something of similar or higher value should be left in exchange. In that way there is always a treasure for the next person to find.

Image via Wikipedia

The first documented geocache took place on May 2000 in Oregon. Since than geocaches are currently hidden in over 100 countries around the world on all seven continents, including Antarctica.

Most of the participants of GPS ”hide and seek” activity are adults, but even children find this modern treasure hunt very amusing. Some geocaching communities organize competitions with reward for your effort. But the main purpose of these competitions is getting people in contact with each other, kind of like Facebook but healthier. Why don’t you try it your self? There’s a treasure waiting for you too!

Anyway Sacha Baron Choen which was accidentally also Borat has transformed into this fashion god called Brüno. Always looking to be in the center of attention. Until the fashion accident which transforms him into rear entering still want to be famous, gay guy. Friends leave him, only his faithful dog Lutz played by Gustaf Hammarsten, escorts him as his ass-istent to the Los Angeles. And the rollercoaster of gayness begins …

I can’t say that movie is CRAP. Because it is not. I also can’t say that the movie should be XXX rated. Because it is not. In weird way it is FUNNY. If you are open minded than you will laugh your ass off. But the movie struck me as superficial. The problems of the gay movement can be better explained with a well thought drama.

That is why I will rate it 4 out of 10.

I would not recommend it for minors, due to some penile scenes , some violent sex and just plain dumb shooting. Anyway movie is R rated so watch the trailer and decide if it’s for you. If embedding does not work look for it on youtube.

Will the upcoming movie, which is expected to be aired in November, answer those questions? Some of them perhaps, I doubt that we will get to know what was going on with Starbuck.

The Plan will be all about Cylons’ plan and the masterminds behind it. The Cylon perspective of the whole story. James ‘Adama‘ Olmos told that after you see The Plane, you will want to see the whole series again. I hope that this is true.

For now, we’re keeping our fingers crossed for Tricia Helfer‘s re-appearance in some new, previously unseen,  ‘they-ran-out-of-fabric’ dress.

Check the trailer below.

All I can say … shame. Because the movie is quite good. Drama describing a relationship between ‘The Ram’, his daughter Stephany played by Evan Rachel Wood, and wrestling. He is constantly hunted by choices he has made in his life, and Cassidy always has the cure for them. All is fine until one day, when he least expected falls down and ends in a hospital bed.

Movie was produced and directed by Darren Aronofsky whom we had the pleasure of meeting in the science fiction drama The Fountain. Movie is a constant flow of unknown feelings which tear The Ram apart. Constantly falling and trying to stand up until a supporting hand picks him up and helps him find his way.

It can easily be rated 9 of 10.

Bear in mind that this is a drama, a sport drama. Where people get hurt. Some blood, acted violence, 1 or 2 sex screens, drugs, harsh language, probably not suited for younger audience.  Have a peek at the trailer if you have not seen it and remember “The only place I get hurt is out there.”.

Story is set in post nuclear future. It is the year 2018. Skynet, a sentient and self-aware artificial intelligence, nuked human race to save itself from possible destruction and it almost succeed. But humans are resilient. Resistance fighters pop up everywhere around the globe. People of Earth are united against a common enemy – machines. And they just started to mount resistance, which has a good chance of succeeding, if …

Movie was directed by Joseph McGinty Nichol better known as McG . It has all the elements of a good action flick and some tender moments, good sci-fi background with interesting CGI effects. Movie fits well in Terminator storyline.

Pure 6 of 10. Can’t give it much more than that.

Good movie to spend the night with friends if you don’t have anything better to do. What the movie lacks is a good cameo appearance of Governator, more story details, some more feelings and a foreseeable end of the saga which might happen in Terminator 5. Or will it? Anyway trailer just for you.

Movie was directed by Will Gluck?!? Story is simple. Two high school jocks Shawn Colfax, played by Nicholas D’Agosto and Nick Brady played By Eric Christian Olsen decide to ditch their football summer camp for cheer leaders summer camp. Now this should be funny, right?!? The plan was simple. Just bribe baby sister to convince her cheer team captain Carly played by Sarah Roemer and we are on board. Guys actually pull it off and they cheer away to the camp. Will they succeed and find their way ?

Well if you have not figured it out yet, the rest of the film is full of chliches with predictable story, emerging actors and director. Don’t expect too much only a light entertainment, some interesting jokes which are less than funny.

I give this movie 3 of 10.

Mainly because I am a guy and there were some interesting  shoots in the unrated version of the movie, which are basically all the highlights I got from it. If you still want to see the movie, watch the trailer and well envision the rest.

For all who might not know, Caprica is a spin-off from the reimagined Galactica TV series. Like its predecesor it was created by a long time Star Trek writer, producer, etc,… Ronald D. Moore and again he did an excelent job. The pilot was released on April 21st on a DVD and via digital download.

It looks very promising, a series that combines elements of a sci fi, soap or space operas and cyberpunk. In my own words I like to call it a “modern cyberpunk”, it is still far from Ghost in the Shell but is a lot closer to Blade Runner.

Since this is the decade of prequels we find ourself with yet another one. But what is so good about this one is the fact that you don’t have to be fan of the “original” Galactica series, you don’t have to even know that it exists or what it is.

I’d give it 4 out of 5, but that’s just because I knew (guessed) where they were going with the story in the first 30 minutes. For the complete review we will have to wait for the series release which will be in 2010.

Story starts with a conflict between strange renegade Romulan faction and a Federation star ship, which is by some unusual coincidence captained by James T. Kirks fother and is destroyed. Kirk – wild as he always was – is brought up on Earth. He is portrayed by Chris Pine, and he can shake Wiliam Shatners hand. The story progresses slowly, but with enough action and drama that keeps even non-trekkies up and watching for next kick. Crew of Enterprise slowly gets together. Joung Vulcan Spock is portrayed by Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban stars as Kirks friend Bones, seductive Zoe Saldana portrais Uhura, John Cho samurai Hikaru Sulu and Anton Yelchin comical Pavel Chekov. One of the last characters Scotty is portrayed by Simon Peg. Movie was directed by J. J. Abrams and in my opinion he did the franchise a favour. With a single expert director move he made it possible to reboot all of the series once again.

Now I could tell you much more regarding the story, but you should really go to the movies and see it.

I will rate this movie 9 out of 10.

The story is believable, not too fast, and not too slow. Character are well portrayed and perfect replacement for now older players from series. Movie has action, drama, intrigue. The story is complete without a need for another movie, but still open enough for the writers to make one. Now the effects … ;) well we have advanced from the Enterprise series. They are superb. What else … Oh yes … Nokia will rule the world ;)

So go to the movies and check it out by your self. If you are not convinced by this review than maybe check the trailer and maybe it will convince you.
