Movies!

I love going to Wikipedia, Youtube, and Apple to do alittle "research" on not only the movies I want to watch, but the movies that are not yet screened.

I especially love Apple as it not only gives a little sypnosis of the new movies not yet in town, but also show the trailers! What's more is that it's really clear.

And here are the lists of Movies that I would love to catch!




1. InkHeart (January 2009)



Photobucket

A MUST WATCH!!! Great film, great storyline, great graphics and sound.


In the story of Inkheart, there is a story within a story: Mo originally brought 4 of Inkheart's characters to life while reading aloud from a novel which is also called Inkheart - Basta, Capricorn, Dustfinger, and Dustfinger's pet marten, Gwin. Dustfinger, a fire eater, desperately wants to return to the world of the fictional novel; Capricorn, the villain of both the "real" and "imaginary" stories, wants Mo (and later, Meggie, who shares her father's unusual gift) to summon an evil monster forged from the ashes of the murdered known as the Shadow, from the fictional novel; and Basta is Capricorn's right-hand man who loves his knife. There is a dramatic twist when one day, 9 years after the characters pop out, Dustfinger and Gwin show up on Meggie and Mo's doorstep begging Mo to send him back into the world of inkheart. He will do whatever it takes to get back to the land he loves, maybe even betray Mo and Meggie to Capricorn...


On more than one level, Inkheart is a book about books and the love of reading. Meggie and Mo are both avid readers; Meggie has carried a box (made by her father) of her favorite books with her all of her life. But also, Inkheart references many other works of literature. In addition to the characters from the fictional novel Inkheart, Mo also brings to life a boy (named Farid) who belongs in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, and makes gold appear from Treasure Island. Meggie's reading causes Tinker Bell from Peter Pan to appear, and she also conjures up the soldier from "The Steadfast Tin Soldier," a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, at the request of the Magpie, Capricorn's mother. Later, during an experiment for Fenoglio, she also solicits the soldier back.

2. Call + Response


Photobucket

A very true sotry, I suppose an eye-opener to all those who are oblivious about happenings all over the world.

A feature length documentary film that reveals the world’s 27 million dirtiest secrets: there are more slaves today than ever before in human history. CALL+RESPONSE takes viewers deep undercover where slavery is thriving - from the child brothels of Cambodia to the slave brick kilns of rural India - and reveals that in 2007, Slave Traders made more money than Google, Nike and Starbucks combined.

3. Bedtime Stories

Although it's a little like InkHeart, I still find it pretty nice.

Bedtime Stories is a 2008 family fantasy comedy film. The film will be directed by Adam Shankman and will star Adam Sandler. Sandler's production company Happy Madison and Andrew Gunn's company Gunn Films will produce the film, and Walt Disney Pictures will distribute the film.


Sandler plays Skeeter Bronson, a hotel handyman whose life is changed forever when the bedtime stories he tells his niece and nephew start to mysteriously come true. He attempts to take advantage of the phenomenon, incorporating his own aspirations into one outlandish tale after another, but it's the kids' unexpected contributions that turn Skeeter's life upside down.

4. Yes Man

Photobucket

Yes Man is an upcoming 2008 American comedy film directed by Peyton Reed and starring Jim Carrey. The film is based on the true story and 2005 biography 'Yes Man' by British humorist Danny Wallace. Production began in Los Angeles in October 2007.

Carl Allen(Jim Carrey) is challenged to say yes to everything that comes his way in his life (not only from his wife), leading to a series of comedic events.


"I, Danny Wallace, being of sound mind and body, do hereby write this manifesto for my life. I swear I will be more open to opportunity. I swear I will live my life taking every available chance. I will say Yes to every favour, request, suggestion and invitation. I will swear to say yes where once I would say no.'

Danny Wallace had been staying in. Far too much. Having been dumped by his girlfriend, he really wasn't doing the young, free and single thing very well. Instead, he was avoiding people. Texting them instead of calling them. Calling them instead of meeting them. That is until that one fateful date when a mystery man on a late-night bus told him to 'Say Yes more'. These three simple words changed Danny's life forever.

"Yes Man" is the story of what happened when Danny decided to say yes to everything, in order to make his life more interesting. And boy, did it get more interesting.
