Movie 5 # Terminator Salvation
The highly anticipated new installment of "The Terminator" film franchise is set in post-apocalyptic 2018. John Connor is the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future that Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright, a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet's operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.
Movie 4 # The Mummy Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor
"The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" is the film in question. Like the previous "Mummy" sequel, the third film in the franchise jumps forward a decade plus, to the cozy year of 1946. After spinning their various previous adventures into a career as spies for the Allies during the war, the O'Connell's (a returning Brendan Fraser and Maria Bello stepping into replace Rachel Weisz) have given up their adventuring ways, turning the keys over to their now twenty-something son Alex (Luke Ford). But when Alex uncovers the long lost tomb of the immortal Dragon Emperor (Jet Li), the fractured family's got to solve its problems in order to stop another mummy.
A movie series called "The Mummy" is naturally going to have a fairly limited focus. Universal and Alphaville might have been better off resetting the series to focus on the various adventures of Rick and Evelyn to give them a wider range of material to use. But they haven't, so mummies it is. New director Rob Cohen ("XXX," "The Fast and the Furious"), stepping in to replace franchise originator Stephen Sommers, and his screenwriters Alfred Gough and Miles Millar ("Smallville") have wisely chosen to pass on bringing previous villain Imohtep back, opting instead to create a new villain for the series based on the famous Terracotta Army from China.
In practice though, the new mummy is all but indistinguishable from the old one. He spends most of the time stomping through the film as a computer creation that vaguely resembles Jet Li, speaking with a heavily modulated voice, but with none of Li's charisma. The idea of an unstoppable Terracotta Soldier come to life isn't a bad one. Maybe not unique, but not bad, but the filmmakers don't seem comfortable with that, imbuing him with extra superpowers (control over the five classical Chinese elements). The only thing he's interested in is conquering the world, he doesn't seem to have any other desires or facets even before he became a mummy, and all he needs to do that is an ancient Chinese artifact that will allow him to fully unlock his powers and become immortal. An artifact the O'Connell's happen to have. Hmmm. This is all sounding vaguely familiar.
That's potentially okay though. The series has always been as much about the heroes as it was the villains, mixing a light sense of humor and decent repartee with some well-conceived heroics. A lot of that comes from good casting. Fraser remains a criminally underused leading man, one of the few able to change gears so easily between comedy and action without shortchanging either. And Bello cuts a surprisingly dashing action heroine, whose Evey is a completely different person from the bookish intellectual of the previous films. All of the film's best moments belong to them, especially their introduction as they slowly go mad in retirement. It's possible Fraser and Bello have even better chemistry than Fraser and Weisz did.
Movie 3 # Cirque Du Freak The Vampire's Assistant
A story from the best-selling books comes this unstoppable fantasy adventure. Darren Shan is a normal teen living a suburban lifestyle. He has good parents, gets good grades, and is popular at school. He's best friends with Steve who is pretty much his opposite in every respect. Steve is the bad influence that always gets Darren in trouble, but they get along well.
One night, Steve convinces Darren to sneak out and attend the "Cirque Du Freak," a one night only freak show held in an abandoned theater. The boys go and end up seeing an astonishing variety of freaks with supernatural abilities. But the main attraction for them is Larten Crepsley and his exotic spider named Octa. Steve immediately identifies Crepsley as a vampire. Secretly, he hopes he can become a vampire, too.
Through a series of odd events, Darren steals Octa from Crepsley and the spider bites Steve, bringing him to the brink of death. Out of intense guilt, Darren reaches a deal with the 200-year-old vampire. In exchange for the spider antidote, Darren will become a half vampire and assistant for Crepsley. Unfortunately, this means abandoning his family, his friends, and his former life and entering a new and dangerous supernatural world.
"Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant" is rated PG-13 for sequences of intense supernatural violence and action, disturbing images, thematic elements and some language.
Movie 2 # Bridge To Terabithia
The beloved novel comes to life. This story is about two children, were study in the same school and live in the same village. Jesse Aarons trained all summer to become the fastest runner in school, so he's very upset when newcomer Leslie Burke outruns him an everyone else. Despite this and other differences, including that she's rich, he's poor, and she's a city girl, he's a country boy, the two become fast friends. Together, they creat Terabithia, a land of monsters, trolls, ogres, and giants and rule as king and queen. This friendship helps Jess cope with the tragedy when Aarons are put with his teacher to Museum and Leslie goes alone to Terabithia and she accidentanly fall into the river and drowning. After the tragedy, Aarons getting upset and start blaming his self because not telling Leslie that he was out with their music teacher to the museum. So, he's alone in Terabithia.
After watch the movie..
The movie a quite interesting because the land of Terabithia actually are not real. They just imagine the land live by monsters, troll, ogres and giants. They imagine that they rules the land and they are king and queen. But after the tragedy happen, Aarons are alone rules the Terabithia. His little sister try to go to Terabithia but Aarons are not allowed because he consider the place as his place an no other people can come. But thinking about the late of Leslie, he decided to bring his sister to Terabithia and become a princess.
Movie 1 # Ninja Assassin
The over view..
Rain (Korean Pop Star) as the heroic, deadly Raizo. Trained from childhood in the way of the Ozunu clan ninja, he is stalked by fellow warriors for breaking free of them and their iron-willed dojo patriarch which is the martial arts legend Sho Kosugi..and is on the run with a Europal agent who has proof the clan sells assassination services to government.
After watch it..
Wow!!it is great!from start until the end it is full of action and lots of blood too..haha. Well the ninja weapon is very sharp okay..Rain (the heroic) can kill more than 100 person by him self. That is cool!! The action makes you hard to breath..This movie is violent. It really show how they fight with those ninja weapon and the blood are spalshing out..Errr!And overall the movie is great!
The Moral Value From The Inspirtional Video "Life Like A Cup of Coffee"
"Life is like a cup of coffee"..after watch the video about it, there is some moral value that I get from the contant. When the person get into working life, they got complain about their job for instant like salary, working environment and so on. All they concern is just want they saw. But they never concern about what the reason to work. Working is a part of our life. It help us to live in is world and build our dream. Working help us to live more confirtable. Without any job, their is no confirtable in life just like in some part of Africa. they live in a very poor condition. No cell phone, television, houses, and so on and even some education. So, have to appreciate to what we have right now and dont just think or expect something more in working. Because job, money and position in working is just the cup. What we need to enjoy is the coffee insie the cup. So, think back. we just an ordinary people. Do not expect to much just want to be more to other people. Enjoy the life, be kind and be a respected people.
