The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn : Part 1

Harry Potter has done it, now the Twilight Saga is following suit. This is the first part of a 2-parter which will see the end of the Twilight Saga franchise.

Edward and Bella, played Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, have decided to get married. Bella has made her decision. She will go into the bridal ceremony, one that she has kept off for so long.

The wedding reaches a fever pitch of romance when Jacob (Taylor Lautner) shows up secretly at the ceremony and he and Edward have one of their burning-eyed confrontations on the subject of Bella's wellbeing. But the bride and groom head off happily enough for their honeymoon, in what appears to be a luxury hotel bungalow near Rio. Then, incredibly, the angstiness continues. The couple appear not to have considered the matters of condoms and birth control. Soon Bella is pregnant with a baby girl, and inevitably this brings Jacob and Edward closer together. Bella sweetly says she'll mix their moms' names to call her Renesmee. But Jacobward is the real story here.

Jacobward gets more and more stressed as the demi-vampire inside Bella grows at an alarming rate. Bella gets thin and gaunt. Then the wolf pack decide this vampire child is an intolerable future threat.

Fundamentally, this Twilight movie is yet another fantastically trying drama on the now very boring subject of wolves versus vampires and the consequent crisis of identity.

The Immortals

There are many great battles scenes in this movie. King Hyperion (Mickey Rouke) is on a vengeance trail to destroy the Gods of Olympus and the mortals. This he aims to achieve by freeing the Titans so as to unleash their power and destroy those mighty Gods. So on his quest to do that, he and his army battles villages after villages.

It seems like nobody can stop them until a stone mason named Theseus (Henry Cavill) stands up to the King for having killed his mother. Thesus has actually been chosen by Zeus to stop King Hyperion and at the same time prevent the battle of the Titans again.

Jack and Jill

Adam Sandler plays Jack Sadelstein and Jill Sadelstein in this comedy. Adam is a well-known comedian and he has given us much laughter. However, to act as his own sister and to fake his voice 2 pitches higher will make watching this movie a bit annoying. Just like how annoying his sister is who decides to visit him during the Thanksgiving holidays. Adam tries to entertain his sister as best as he could. Some witty remarks, sexist as well as racist jokes thrown in to make this show funny. And later who tries to court Jill, none other than Al Pacino who plays himself!

11.11.11

11.11.11 gets all the hype because this date happens once in a century and the producer must have concocted the story based on the catching date itself. It started with famous US author Joseph Crone (Timothy Gibbs) losing his wife and child. Soon he discovers that strange events always occur at 11:11 a.m./ p.m. Later he receives a call from his pastor brother Samuel (Michael Landes) that their father is dying. and he flies to Barcelona, Spain to be reunited with his brother and father.

As the day of 11-11-11 approaches, events get weirder and weirder until the finale where a huge revealing twist is attempted but comes off looking incredibly incredulous.

See this show just to say you have watched 11.11.11 on 11.11.11.

The Adventures of Tintin

Oscar winning producer, Peter Jackson, grew up with Tintin. He reads all its comic books. Enter Steven Spielberg another Oscar winning producer and together they directed and produced this French origin comic into a 3D movie.

Tintin (voice by Jamie Bell) buys a handmade ship in the market. As soon as he buys it he gets a number of offers from people willing to buy it from him, which Tintin rejects. When he gets home his dog, Snowy, breaks the ship and a hidden clue rolls out, which prompts Tintin to work out what it means. Tintin then gets kidnapped by the evil Ivanovich Sakharine (Daniel Craig), who is after the clue. This is where Tintin meets up with Captain Haddock as they try to work out the meaning of the clue.

This movie is a must for die-hard Tintin fans!

The Son of No One

Jonathan (Channing Tatum) is assigned to 118 Precinct where he grew up. Soon, mysterious messages is received by the local daily taunting the police to reopen a double homicide case back in 1986. As Jonathan investigates, it points to a former lead detective (Al Pacino) covering up some of the evidences. Who was the detective trying to protect? Jonathan soon realises that he has to face his dark past as his captain is looking over his back.

Tower Heist

When watching The Other Guys, if you have the idea to get back on the schemers yourself, this is a movie on how. Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda) is a very wealthy owner of The Tower assisted by manager Kosh Kovacs (Ben Stiller). Unfortunately, like Bernard Madoff, Arthur absconded with all the Tower's pension money leaving all of them in the lurch. So, Kosh got all of the workers together and plot to get back their money. Of course, the rookies are not all alone as they bring in criminal Slide to train them. The bunch of victims from the Tower are the slow-witted Charlie (Casey Affleck), the jumpy Fitzhugh (Matthew Broderick), sexy Odessa and the naïve Enrique (Michael Pena).

You will be laughing at your wits end due to their antics and also intrigued by the plans they launch.

Enjoy!
