Action Movie Genre Earns Must See Status

Well, over a month has passed since the Action Movie Genre Avatar came out and I made time to go and see it. The weekend that a movie opens is usually really crazy with all the people that go to the theaters to watch it, but, with Avatar, every showing is still pretty packed because of what a great movie it is.

Awesome Movie and The Fact About Movie

I chose tonight, Tuesday, to go and see it and was surprised that the theater was jam-packed for the 10:30 showing. Oh yeah, this Action Movie Genre is definitely the talk of the town. Based on what I have heard, I was looking forward to seeing it and was hoping to not be disappointed.
It always seems like if I am told that a Action Movie Genre is great, it turns out to be not so great. With Avatar, it was indeed an awesome movie and the fact that it was in 3-D made it even better. I have to say that when we are talking about visual effects, this movie is the best that I have ever watched. There are not a whole lot of those moments when you think that things in the movie are coming right at you, but the 3-D effects are surely what made this movie.
By putting together the story and action so well, Cameron was able to achieve having the plot and the 3-D technology fused together as one. You really feel like you are right there on the planet of Pandora and it is not just me who felt like that.
There is so much fantasy in the abstract world of this grim movie genre that it is not surprising why so many people are flocking to see it. Pan’s Labryinth is also remarkable, and if you saw it, then you are going to get something substantial from all of the unique creatures that come alive when you view Avatar. Finally, Avatar is a movie that all ages can enjoy. My recommendation is to definitely go see it in 3-D.
Watching this movie in the regular way will be a great time for you, but there is no way that I would want to miss out on what I just saw in 3-D. Get your plans made to go and check out this truly one-of-a-kind movie.…

Is 2010 the Year of the Captain Marvel Theaters Sound Bar?

Growing up I distinctly recall the size of speakers people would use with their televisions. The ones my family owned were about 4 feet high and helped to fill our livingroom with whatever show were would be watching Captain Marvel Theaters during the evening. Fast forward 20-something years and similar to other electronic devices, home theater speakers have shrunk dramatically. No longer do home allen theaters require much in the ways of space or wires. Even with the creation of micro home theaters, the issue would be the appearance of such systems as they took aware from the overall look of the television it was going to be paired with. Soundbars take a large step forward by putting everything in one small package.

Sound to Fill Up a Room

By looking at them you may not realize that they can create enough sound to fill up a room. It may not appear that it can simulate the sound of a 5.1 home theater setup. Some would argue that this is whole point. People often mistake the performance of things based on their size, but when you consider similar products from companies like Bose you realize it’s quite possible.
While soundbars started coming out from several brands in 2007, the biggest issue was price. With so few people taking the plunge on an HDTV, it was an even tougher sell to convince someone to spend another $750 to $1,000 on a soundbar. This is no longer the case. The number of people looking to hang their television on a wall or above a fireplace has increased. With many HDTVs with 20w speaker systems much is left to desire in the way of sound volume if you intent on watching sports or movies. A soundbar home Captain Marvel Theaters can fill the whole room, sit neatly on the wall under the HDTV, and are now available from retail outlets for as little as $150. Couple this with the falling prices of televisions and you start to see the ability to pair the two for well under $1,000.
One of the biggest choices to make if you’re going to consider purchasing a soundbar is if you want one with a subwoofer or not. By not having one, you’ll get the sleekest presentation available, but it doesn’t come without a tradeoff. Since there is no subwoofer, there are going to be sounds which you won’t be able to pick up as well on the low end of the sound spectrum.
Many people aren’t sure what the next trend is going to be when it comes to HDTVs, but soundbars are poised to grow in interest and adaption. This is especially true as people looking to upgrade their CRT televisions add HDTVs to their homes and look for an easy and sleek way to upgrade the quality of the sound Captain Marvel Theaters.…

Harry Potter Movie 2020 – A Must for Muggles?

Now that the last of the eight Harry Potter Movie 2020 films has been completed, legions of fans have no doubt been left despondent at the thought that this could be the end of the road for their world of wizarding adventures.
Fortunately, Warner Brothers have realised that they have at their fingertips an opportunity to let the magic continue. From Spring 2012 they will be opening up many of the film’s sets and studios for an official “Making of Harry Potter” studio tour, allowing fans to discover behind-the-scenes secrets of how the films were created and how many of their supernatural characters were brought to life.
Fans of the young wizard and his comrades are supposedly among the most die-hard followers you can get, so it’s no surprise that Muggles around the UK and indeed the world are jumping at the chance to see and even touch the actual sets and props used in the Harry Potter over the top movie.
The studios are based on the site of a former aircraft factory just outside of London, and preparations are currently underway to reassemble them into a walk-through exhibition featuring authentic sets, props and costumes from the films.

Elements of The Films

Although some elements of the films were shot on location, the re-constructed sets that visitors can look forward to seeing will include the cupboard under the stairs at the Dursleys’ house, Dumbledore’s book-lined office, the Ministry of Magic and various rooms from Hogwarts School.
The magnificent Great Hall will be the centrepiece of the tour; originally filmed at Christ Church College, Oxford, where indeed many scenes in the film are located, the Great Hall has been replicated in the studios as a part of a bid to recreate the world that Harry Potter Movie 2020 fans will have grown to know and love.
As well as visiting the sets, fans will also get to view some of the hundreds of containers which are filled with articles and props from the films, created over the course of a decade. It is rumoured that even die-hard devotees will be amazed to realise just how much attention to detail went into bringing the sets to life.
Many of the props used in the films were, contrary to popular assumption, created as actual physical items rather than relying on computer-generated imagery, which goes some way to showing just how much behind-the-scenes skill was required to create the spectacle. Visitors will also receive the opportunity to discover first-hand how the various magical creatures of the films were created in the studios’ workshops.
Tickets for the studio tours are on sale now and the tour itself opens its doors in March 2012. It is hoped that, when development is completed, the power and detail of the settings will cause fans to feel that they have actually stepped inside the world of Harry Potter Movie 2020, and really experience the magic of this world for themselves.…

Nightwing Movie 2020 Review: Faster

Dwayne Johnson stars in this ultra-violent, stylish revenge thriller as a man looking for revenge after a long stay in prison. He (and his brother) were set up after a bank robbery and his brother was murdered. The Rock is out for revenge in this homage to the B-movie revenge Nightwing Movie 2020 of the 70s. Filled to the brim with film-noir cliches and characters with no names (Johnson is billed only as Driver), Faster is a lot of fun. It is grim and often pretentious but that just makes it even more amusing. Some of the hard-boiled dialogue is really funny and there’s an anti-revenge message and lots of talk of “darkness” and going down the wrong road. It’s hard to take any of this seriously as the over the top movie is one violent killing after the next.

Selective About His Victims

At least The Rock is selective about his victims, which might remind viewers of The Punisher. He only kills the bad guys and scum of the earth. I could only laugh when it turns out that one of the men responsible for his brother’s death also happens to be a nasty sex offender. The other over the top (and even novel) plot twist involves an ultra-rich and smarmy hitman (he was hired to kill the driver) and his sexy wife. They get married and he takes her to shoot bottles in her wedding dress, that’s what I call romance.
The cast is quite good and includes Billy Bob Thornton as a drug-addicted detective who is just billed as “cop” and Adebesi from HBO’s excellent men behind bars drama Oz pops up as a reformed criminal turned preacher/saint. The Rock may not be much of an actor, but he’s definitely a physical and engaging persona onscreen. This role of a violent man of few words is perfectly suited to a man who appears made of granite. As Faster heads towards its violent conclusion and final plot twist, I admired how well-made the Nightwing Movie 2020 was, while also basically thinking the entire thing was a bit ridiculous. Call it a guilty pleasure if you want, the low-rent jolts are welcome during the Oscar season of “important” Nightwing Movie 2020 no one has any interest in seeing.…

How to Dress Like Your Favorite Best Movie Characters

Are you one of those people that go to the Best Movie Characters and get more impressed in what the lead actress is wearing rather than the fancy special effects? Have you ever went “Wonder where I can get her jacket?” right smack in the middle of a dramatic scene? And then as soon as the credits roll, hit every store to find the same jacket?
If you said yes to all of these, don’t worry you are not alone. The fashion gods know I only went to see Sex in the City 2 for the clothes and the shoes. So I’ve lined up my favorite movie looks and how you can achieve them. It’s time to bring some movie magic in to your closet.

Kirsten Dunst in The Virgin Suicides

Everything about Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides was soft. The colors were pale, the clothes were flowy and the lead were innocent young girls. It takes you back to a time when there’s nothing that matters but being young. Kirsten Dunst was one of the girls in the Best Movie Characters and after wearing simple clothes in this movie, she moved on to work with Sofia Coppola again this time as the excessively lavish Mary Antoinette in the movie of the same title.

White dress. They wore a lot of summer dresses here in the movie, but the general theme was something light, flowy and lace-y.

Brogue shoes. There were a lot scenes that they were in Catholic school girl uniforms and this would go really well with those.

Kate Hudson in Almost Famous

This coming of age Best Movie Characters by Cameron Crowe is set in the free-spirited 70s where rock and roll is both music and a way of life. Kate Hudson plays “band aide” Penny Lane in the movie, who captured the heart of a fifteen year-old kid given the chance to write for Rolling Stone magazine. Although Kate had on lots of fun clothes in the movie but this the most memorable one of them all:

Shearling coat. She had on this amazing knee-length coat with a lush collar that makes you just want to snuggle.

Bell bottoms. This was like the staple for cut of jeans during the 70s, but you can find the updated version in wide-legged trousers.

Wedge sandals. To keep you from tripping on your floor-sweeping bell bottoms, wedge sandals are a must.

Vintage sunglasses. A round-frame sunglasses much like what Kate Hudson was wearing on the poster of the movie.

Catherine Zeta-Jones in Chicago

Directed by Rob Marshall who also was at the helm of such movies as Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Memoirs of a Geisha, he knows how to make a personal best movie visually stunning. Chicago was the story of showgirls who want to make it big time with their talent and the scandals that surround them. Catherine Zeta-Jones played the feisty Velma Kelly and here’s her dressed to kill outfit.

Sequined dress. To match the glitz and glamour of show business in the 1920s you have to wear the shiniest most lavish outfits out there. A sequined dress is just one way for you to outshine the competition, so to speak.

Killer heels. There was a certain sex appeal in the 1920s because everything was all about glamour. A pair of killer heels is an easy way to achieve that long silhouette.

Red lipstick. In the movie, Catherine Zeta-Jones was a singer and what better way to accentuate her mouth than with matte red lipstick.…

Spawn Movie 2020 Action Figures

Ooey, Gooey, Weird, Evil, Gruesome Creatures! Wild out-of-control monsters! Fearful adventures!
If you’ve been tuned into the spawn movie 2020 comics (and various spin-offs), film, TV series, and video game, then you know about the fascinating creatures and intriguing plots.

Background

spawn movie 2020 debuted as an undead superhero named Albert Francis “Al” Simmons, alias Hellspawn or The One, in the comic Spawn #1 in May 1992. He and was created by Todd McFarlane. The original comics series was followed by several spin-off comics, a 1997 feature film, and an HBO animated series lasting from 1997 until 1999. The series of action figures produced by McFarlane Toys is known for high quality and fine detail.
Single or Multiple Figures
Besides single figures, McFarlane Toys offers bundles. For example, their Spawn: ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction bundles three highly detailed figures, and their Spawn Series 34 is a set of four figures. You can also find Boxed Sets.

Prices

Prices for spawn movie 2020 action figures varies from three to two hundred thirty dollars or more, for a single figure. Various factors can drive up the prices, including being out of production, rare, or being highly detailed. That said, a lot of great Spawn figures are available for around the five to forty dollar range, for each figure.

Sizes

Many of the Spawn action figures are in the range of six to twelve inches tall, though smaller ones are also available. Some online sources provide little information about size, and you may need to inquire to get full data before you buy.

Sources

Sources or manufacturers of the figures include TMP International, Urban-Collector, and Amazon. It’s easy to find lots of Spawn action figures using the online search engines.

What to Watch Out For

While many of the figures are quite durable, some are not made to be toys. Some are fragile. Although some of the figures are capable of being bent into poses, they are not designed to be twisted and pulled a lot. So how do you tell which of the figures meets your intended use? Read available reviews and documentation before you buy! Alternatively, assume a figure is fragile and should not be used as a toy, unless you learn otherwise. These tips will help you avoid disappointment when collecting Spawn action figures.

Enjoy the Diversity

You will be delighted by the incredible diversity of Spawn action figures available on the market. Although they differ in size, detail, and fragility, most are colorful and pleasing. My favorite is the Malebolgia Action Figure from McFarlane Toys in their Spawn over the top movie Series 23 Mutations line. Of course its form is grotesque and evil-looking. That’s what makes it so cool.…

Harry Potter and The Cursed Child Movie 2020 World At Universal Studios, Florida

Have you seen the new Harry Potter world at Universal Studios yet?

It is simply fantastic! It’s well worth the wait and the price. If you are a fan of Harry Potter and The Cursed Child Movie 2020, or even if you have just seen one movie or read just one of the seven books, you have to see the new Harry Potter world.
The ride through the Hogwarts Castle is by far the highlight of the entire theme park. In a single word, it’s “Awesome!”. Once you step through the castle doors, the adventure begins. It’s like stepping into the world of Harry Potter itself.
Even though you still have a half hour of waiting in line, once you step inside the doors, the entire maze is set up with fascinating sights, scenes, and presentations all the way up to the actual ride itself. My daughter (who turned 19 while we were there) and I both wished the line would actually move slower through the castle so we have more time to fully absorb all the sights.
As you step through the very realistic castle, you will encounter intriguing specimen jars, clips and holograms on screens that look like real characters from the movies, statues, passageways, the potions room, the mirror that shows you what you want most… it’s all there.
The moving and talking paintings talk about you between themselves as you process through the hallway, and the “fat lady” responsible for opening the doors actually talks to you. The Sorting Hat that decides which house you will join (i.e., Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin) actually moves, talks, and looks just like the one in the movie.
The Hogwarts Castle is located at the very back of the Universal Studios Islands of Adventure theme park. Before you get to the castle, you have to walk through the entire town of Hogsmead which is like taking a step right into the movies themselves.

Harry Potter World

Immediately after passing through the entry gate to the Harry Potter and The Cursed Child Movie 2020 World, you will see the Hogwarts Express train on the right. Then you will pass by the Honeydukes candy store, Zonkos magic tricks shop, the wand shop, the “3 Broomsticks” and the “Hogshead Pub”. And don’t miss the huge, orange Butter Beer tanker in the middle of the street; the butter beer has a wonderful sweet, buttery flavor with a delectable white head added to it.
Honeydukes has hundreds of types of unique candy including the chocolate frogs… although I didn’t see any of them jump out the box and crawl out the window as it did in the first Harry Potter and The Cursed Child Movie 2020. They also have the “every flavor beans” for the brave jelly bean lover. And you should look for the “ear” phones hanging from the ceiling in Zonkos.
Of course, the castle is located past the town on top a huge mountainous rock… just like in the over the top movie… and it’s fascinating just to stand there and observe all the detail in architecture of the castle itself. A great place to see it and take pictures is on the exit ramp from the Dueling Dragons roller coaster. When you see the castle, notice the turret, that has 3-tiered turret coming out of the side of it. Don’t you just wonder what such an architecture would look like from the inside… or how it would be used… in real life?
It’s truly a fascinating twist on theme parks. Every Harry Potter fan should see it!…

A List of Some of My Favorite Best Movie Trilogies of All Time

If you are looking for a solid list of Best Movie Trilogies, you have come to the right place. Movie threequels have become commonplace in recent years, partly due to the rise in superhero films as well as the lack of confidence in Hollywood of original scripts. Movie studios often would rather go with an established brand, a sure thing.
But that is not to say there have not been some fantastic trilogies over the years. Here are some of the greatest ones.
Any list of personal best movie trilogies would have to include Indiana Jones. My personal favorite is The Temple Of Doom, but many people swear by Raiders Of The Lost Ark as their favorite film from this franchise. Even twenty years after it was completed, this film was able to release a fourth installment, which made serious money.

Another Set of Films

Another set of films that certainly makes my list is J.R.R Tolkien’s Lord Of The Rings Best Movie Trilogies. The great Viggo Mortenson did as good a job as possible, playing the part of King Aragorn, and Elijah Wood played an incredibly memorable Frodo Baggins.
Of course, Luke Skywalker and crew have to be mentioned. Even over 30 years after their initial release, The Star Wars films are still celebrated the world over. George Lucas was even able to release a prequel Best Movie Trilogies.
The Godfather films are worth seeing for anyone who is a fan of mafia films, or great American cinema in general. No other films have Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino cast together unless it is awesome.
Even though the last film did everything in its power to ruin the series, I feel an unexplainable loyalty to the Matrix films. I can’t argue that they do not touch any other set of films on this list, but nonetheless, I love them!
As it stands, this is my list. Let us reanalyze five years down the road, however, once we have three Avatar films to judge.…
