Facebook, the most widely used social network in the world is hitting the big screen everyone. The true story of how Facebook became what it is now is about to be illustrated in movie theaters for everyone to enjoy. Here's the movie trailer.

After watching the trailer, I was memorized by the performances of the actors. These young actors seem to have the ability to capture a story and play it out. Another element I liked about the film was the background music, the song sounds familiar but it seems to be edited into a slower version which adds more drama to the trailer.

Overall, this trailer makes me want to see the movie. How about you? Did you like it? Be sure to check out my other reviews and if you like what you see, then you can go ahead and follow me, and I will be sure to check out your blog as well. See ya!

Resident Evil Afterlife Trailer Review

Well everyone, Alice is back. I love zombie apocolypse films but this one does not look as good as the sequel seems. The trailer is out so here it is

Resident Evil Afterlife Trailer

The one reason why I feel this movie is going to be not so great is for one simple reason 3D!!!!! I am sick of all these 3D films. All they want is to generate more profit from ticket sales since 3D film tickets  cost more than normal 2D films. Furthermore, these 3D films just revolve around popping objects and they loose focus on the actual story line and character developments. Soon enough the movie become trite and boring. I for one cannot stand to see a 3D film, technology is advancing in film in a way the demoralizes the actual plot within a flick.

Moreover, this film just seems to packed with bigger action. More zombie slayings of the same sort. Some huge giant blue thingy in downtown Los Angeles. All I know, is the producers are taking a bigger step in the production of these films. I just hope this next step makes the critics more satisfied.

Take My Soul (Trailer Review)

Well, Wes Craven has done it again. The creator Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream is off to the big screen again with his new horror film, "Take My Soul" Take a look.

The movie begins with a very gloomy scenery in a rural town, (always the typical place for a horror film.) The fact that the guy is Asian is a surprising to me (me thinking he is the main character) until I find out he is killed off by a guy in a party city costume. So definitely the first flaw I point out are the cheesy horror costumes. They look like they were designed at party city. Come on Hollywood, you can do better than this.

Moreover, the cast do not seem to entice me into the film. The narrator's voice is too "acted" for me. It seems like a repeat of the cast from Avatar: the last Airbender = TERRIBLE ACTING.

In addition, I am quite confused on how they are going to explain this film. They seem to present too much of the plot in this trailer. Already from this trailer, I can figure out that the main character (the blond kid) is the actual killer in some paranormal way.

Finally, this film does not really excite me, it does not give me the goose bumps what so ever. It just seems to be a teen killer where you just see teens getting slayed one by one (like that isn't uncommon in your typical horror film nowadays).

Salt Movie Review

I know I am a bit late into this movie review (because of extranious other work). SPOILER ALERT
In a few simple words, Salt was that "better than expected movie". Upon walking into Salt I knew I was going to get a lot of action scenes, and best to say, I got what I deserved. Salt is an action packed movie filled with suspense and loads of gunfights and fighting scenes in which every action craving fan would adore.
On the negative side, I found the character Salt a bit hard to define. In the movie, action sequences are ubiquitous. There is barely any space for character development in this movie. In a movie, I usually always look for character development, but in this movie I found none. Moreover, there is little provided about Salt's thoughts, personality, and background. I know I know, she is a secret agent, so were supposingly not suppose to learn about the character, but in every movie the audience should learn about the character. Ultimately, Salt is a loosely defined character along with the other characters in the film.
In Summation, Salt is an action packed summer blockbuster which I very much enjoyed. It keeps you guessing till the end and awes you with the action sequences. I highly recommend people to see this film and examine Angelina's performance.

Inception Movie Review

Last week I had the opportunity to view the awaited film "Inception". Inception stars the notable celebrities Leonardo Di Caprio and Ellen Paige. The movie was produced and direct by Christopher Nolan.
At first when I heard of this film, the first thought that came to mind was: "Hollywood finally came up with a good idea for a film, I hope they don't fail at this attempt." I was cautious about seeing this flick but the pure idea and logistics of the film just simply pushed me into the movie seat.
I was filled with excitement as I went to see the film and this film is not one to be reckoned with. Throughout the course of the film you will be at the edge of your seat. What made this film a success is how it makes the viewer ponder about the movie and venture into the dream world. I admire the planned and collaborated of the "dream worlds" and how each individual character contribute to the act of seizing or in this case, implanting an idea into that dreamer's dream.
The strong performances by Ellen Paige and Leo greatly attributed to the commercial success of this "rare summer blockbuster". The tranquil Ellen and edgy Leo combine to produce an imaginative thriller of epic proportions.
All in all, I advise many to view this film as it is that rare film to feel proud to see. After seeing the terribly failed attempt "Avatar: the last Airbender", "Inception" however began to change my opinions of hollywood of not an industry just trying to generate profits but to provide their viewers with a film long to be remembered.
