Hunter S. Thompson wrote the book The Rum Diary back in 1961 when he knew very well what the demon rum was all about. Even the screenplay writer/director, Bruce Robinson was familiar with boozing being had sworn off alcohol over six years before but went back to it just to finish the screenplay that writer's block was keeping him from completing. That's dedication! ohnny Depp (Ed Wood, Donnie Brasco) is freelance journalist Paul Kemp, himself one of those lost souls he writes about. Determined to self destruct it's obvious this rag tag bunch of humanities leftovers just seem to drink their lives away. But Kemp falls for a woman that brightens up his days. Chenault is played by Amber Heard (Pineapple Express, Zombieland) and is Kemp's obsession as he drinks his days away in Puerto Rico.hat makes a movie about drunks and their ability to consume volumes of fermented sugarcane (rum) interesting? It's about the lost souls that seem to have given up on life and what they leave behind, like lovers, families, and life they're afraid to face. And Thompson's writing makes it all seem to work perhaps because The Rum Diary is about his life...

I'll be back, he promised in a 1984 sci-fi action movie The Terminator , and we see how California ex-governor keeps his promise: "The Last Stand" features exactly that kind of Arnold Schwarzenegger as we have remembered since the times of The Terminator and Commando. His character Ray Owens is a sheriff in small peaceful town on the USA-Mexican border, reluctantly involved into the last stand of local policemen against the most wanted drug kingpin who just spectacularly escaped from FBI and now heading to the Mexican border in order to slide abroad as soon as possible speeding above 200 Mph on his Corvette ZR1 with a hostage in a tow. But Ray Owens is not just a sheriff, he is the former FBI anti-drug department officer recently retired after some bungled operation (and, what is more important, he is also ex-Terminator as we know). Of course, he could not stand aside, and this is where bloody massacre begins. We'll see Arnold Schwarzenegger with shotgun blowing out enemies brains; we'll see him with monstrous machine gun doing the same, etc. Furthermore, aside of these "special features" we will se definitely brilliant cast of actors: Rodrigo Santoro, Zach Gilford, Genesis Rodriguez, Forest Whitaker, Jaimie Alexander, Eduardo Noriega, Luis Guzmán, Johnny Knoxville – an exciting list, isn't it? However the most serious thing you need to know that this movie is the first American action film directed by Kim Ji-woon, a talented Korean cinematographer, worldwide known for his masterpieces: "The Good, the Bad, the Weird", "A Bittersweet Life" and "I Saw the Devil."

In a more sophisticated "golden age" when American public schools actually taught people to read, Hollywood made movies from literature—Grapes of Wrath, for example, or To Have and Have Not. According to Oliver Stone, in the 1990s, film became the literature of the age. In 2011, driven by a fetish for "CG integration," Hollywood adopted the comic book as its model of choice. Not "the graphic novel," which has a slightly more elevated ring to it. No. The comic book. "Comic book novices may have difficulty differentiating their Green super-heroes: The Green Lantern does not attract The Green Hornet as moth to flame. Green Lantern may, however, attract almost as many teen girls as teen geeks, because it features Ryan Reynolds, People Magazine's sexiest man, archetype of "obscenely cut" abs. Critics already have remarked and documented strong similarities between Green Lantern and the IronMan series. Given its comic book origins, you know how Green Lantern goes: Cocky gonna-be super-hero must grow into and take responsibility for his super-powers. He becomes part of an inter-galactic super-squadron charged to protect and serve the universe. Of course, hard-rockin' soundtrack and jaw-droppingly attractive women, both good and evil, accompany him wherever he goes. "After summer's spate of cartoon movies, literate viewers may wax nostalgic for Hemingway in collaboration with Bogart and Steinbeck inspiring Henry Fonda.

While this film retains the "Bourne" name it is not to be considered a prequel or even a reboot of the original Bourne movies. Neither Matt Damon or his character Jason Bourne will be part of it this time around and the only connection is Bourne in the title to give it continuity for the franchise. Script was capably written by Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton, the Bourne series) and some of the original cast members return including Albert Finney as Dr. Albert Hirsch and Scott Glenn as Ezra Kramer, the CIA Director. Starring Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker, The Town) as Kenneth Gidson/Aaron Cross Operation Outcome agent and Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener, The Lovely Bones) is one of the movie's two main protagonists Stephanie Snyder.he story in The Bourne Legacy is set after Ultimatum concludes and centers around new operative Kenneth Gidson. Also in Legacy are Stacy Keach, Edward Norton, and Joan Allen. Plenty of bullets flying along with the blast of explosions and action packed fighting to keep audiences happy.

Predators movie of the 2010 is better than you can describe that! Perhaps, after "Avatar" released in late 2009 is the first movie that you want to watch and not look the clock, even when it ends. This is absolutely amazing. So if there is still someone else who is able to film it again it is necessary to make it in 3D to collect at least some cash. Action is taken in the best traditions of the genre. History is absolutely competent, not far-fetched. All genre standards are met, and it does not seem secondary. This is absolutely original, beautiful movie, which you can watch without knowing the history of the first "Predator". Although, it features many references to the first "Predator": A Memoir of Guatemala, the skull "outsiders" are present in the parking lot of hunters of prey. Movie definitely made with love to its roots and to the genre as well.
