RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN

Race to Witch Mountain is a re-imagining of the 1975 film Escape to Witch Mountain. Both versions of the film are based on the 1968 novel Escape to Witch Mountain by author Alexander Key. The film is directed by Andy Fickman and stars Dwayne Johnson, AnnaSophia Robb, Alexander Ludwig, and Carla Gugino.

Filming began in Los Angeles in March 2008. Race to Witch Mountain was released on March 13, 2009.

Jack Bruno (Dwayne Johnson) is a cab driver in Las Vegas, who is picking up and dropping off passengers to the UFO convention at the Planet Hollywood Casino and Hotel. One of his passengers is Dr. Alex Friedman (Carla Gugino), a failed scientist who is giving speeches about legitimate scientific theories of UFOs and outer space.

The next day Bruno is approached by two large men telling him that Wolff would like to see him. After fighting them, Bruno drives off, later noticing two children, Sara (AnnaSophia Robb) and Seth (Alexander Ludwig) sitting in the back seat of the cab. They tell him they need to go to a certain destination and are willing to pay all they have ($15,000) to get there. They lead him to a run down house in the middle of nowhere. Meanwhile, Major Henry Burke (Ciaran Hinds) is searching for information on the two aliens that landed some days earlier.

When they arrive at the house, the children tell Bruno that they will be re-united with their relatives soon. Before leaving Bruno hears a crash coming from the house. He is startled to find them hiding behind a couch. Though grateful for his concern, the children tell him they must continue their journey without him, as they can trust no one. Nevertheless, Bruno decides to follow them, which leads him to the basement of the house. There the kids are pursued and attacked by a strange creature as they retrieve an object in a plant. They manage to escape from this creature.

When leaving they are attacked by a "Siphon", a creature built to destroy a certain target. The Siphon pursues them until it causes a crash of his spaceship into a train, the creature survives, though wounded. The trio eventually find themselves in a small town, Stony Creek, where they encounter Tina the waitress (Tia from the original movie) and the sheriff (Tony from the original movie), now both grown and settled in the town to which they escaped in the original movie. The children explain to Bruno that they are aliens from a distant planet, who are sent to Earth by their parents because the government of their dying planet intends to attack and invade Earth so that their kind may live on there. They also explain that the object they obtained at the house contains the results of an experiment which their parents set up. The research from this experiment will save their planet without having to attack and invade Earth. However their planet's military prefer the idea of invading Earth and sent the Siphon assassin to stop them. They are next pursued by government agencies trying to retrieve the children for experiments.

They are joined by Dr. Friedman at the UFO Expo. With help of one of Dr. Friedman's friends they discover that the ship they are searching has been relocated to a government base at Witch Mountain. While preparing to leave the UFO Expo the Siphon arrives, it prepares to attack but Sara uses her powers to knock him through a wall. The group,now including Dr. Friedman, after evading the pursuing government agents eventually arrive at Witch Mountain. At first the children are captured along with Bruno and Friedman. Nevertheless the two humans escape and come to rescue the kids. The Siphon causes a distraction by attacking the base. They manage to free the children and reach their ship. By running the Siphon over they escape but the Siphon hangs on and gets on board. Bruno and Seth battle the Siphon in the lower sections of the ship, unmasking him in the fight. Finally, Bruno defeats the evil alien by knocking him into the ships engine. The kids drop Jack and Alex off and after a tearful goodbye, they head back to their ship, but give Bruno and Alex a device that will allow the kids to always find them. And Sara gives Jack the power to use his brain to the mind reading ability.

During the end credits, Bruno and Dr. Friedman (now a couple) are speaking at a UFO convention about their new successful book called "Race to Witch Mountain". The last scene shows them driving off in a car Bruno dreamed of getting honestly as he had mentioned to Friedman earlier—a Mustang similar to that driven by Steve McQueen in Bullitt. This mind-blowing event stuns the entire audience, causing them to comment aloud. As they are about to leave, the device the kids gave Bruno before they left goes off, indicating that they may be returning.

For years, often narrated around the place of the secret in the middle of the Nevada desert, with the phenomenon and mysterious scenery. The place was known by the name of Penyihir mountains (Witch Mountain), and during a person penegmudi the taxi (Dwayne Johnson) bertemua two adolescents with the supernatural strength, he realised that he was being in the adventure that could not he described. When they only had the opportunity to express the Witch Mountain secret, many sides tried to stop them...

THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS 4

Relations between Dominic Toretto (Vin the Diesel) and Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) quite unique. On the one hand Dom really hated Brian because he was police that menyamar became the racing driver to arrest the gang of the robber who was led by Dom, but on the other side, Brian could also rescue his life several times. After trying to move further away from Brian, finally fate brought Dom returned to Los Angeles where he must meet Brian again. However this time came back Dom was forced to have to establish the work was the same as the person who was hated by him this because the two of them faced the same enemy. There was no choice for Dom and Brian apart from trusting each other to complete their personal mission was their respective. Brian was assigned to infiltrate into the network of the distributor of narcotics named Antonio Braga (John Ortiz). Brian found the gap when Braga looked for an uncivilised racing driver to be made the courier. Unfortunately, Dominic also aimed at the same position although in fact Dominic's motivation was pure revenge. Dominic wanted to avenge the Letty death (Michelle Rodriguez) Because of the Braga conduct. A film had genre racing could remain until the fourth sequel might be still being an achievement. But could be also the launching of this fourth part as the redeemer from two episodes beforehand that failed. This was seen from the player's composition that was the same as the first part that threw the genre of the film racing last 2001. Acknowledged or not, 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS and THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: Tokyo DRIFT indeed failed to occupy the level that was the same as the first part. Two films appeared to lose taring when compared with the episode initially. The topic that began to be felt monotonous and the fight sequence that still did not pull could be made the failure scapegoat of this film in the market. But apparently the reality did not make Universal Studios surrendered and emerged the fourth part with original lineup this. But although being regarded as the correction by this fourth part, apparently same efforts too much were not successful. The menu that was served also still not far from three parts beforehand. Finally, the studio only could hope that the genre interested persons of the film racing still enough and was prepared to spend money to watch this film. The plot was not strong enough to make this film be something that was deserving to be recalled while acting of his players also was classified as the standard then. The visual matter indeed still quite interesting although in fact did not have something that was completely new. If you passed three parts beforehand, possibly did not have mistakenly you tried FAST & FURIOUS this was the reverse if you followed franchise this from the beginning, will not be unfortunate if you passed this one. Except, of course, if you want to recalled the past saw the appearance of Vin Diesel and Paul Walker.

Knowing controlled the United States Cinema

Los Angeles: Thriller-supernatural about doomsday, "Knowing", succeeded in becoming the most quick-selling film this week in the United States and Canada. The film that was starred in by Nicolas Cage this succeeded in eliminating two films that also were released last week namely the romantic "I Love You" comedy", Man" and Julia Roberts newest, "Duplicity". "Knowing" told a story about an astrophysics expert of John Koestler, that was played by Cage, that found the row of the figure that was written in 1959 by a kindergarten pupil. The row that originally dipikir random that, evidently showed big disasters, the location, and the number of his casualties during semicentenially following. In the list, Koestler found the railway collision will happen, and true that happened. In the list was latest, Koestler originally suspected the number of casualties of being "33". But evidently that the opposite from the "EE" letter that meant everyone (everyone else) alias doomsday. This film didanai by Summit Entertainment, the relatively small producer but succeeded in printing several hits. Before "Knowing", Summit has produced "Twilight" that in the week It was first that his income almost three times of the film fold that were starred in by Cage this. "Knowing" set aside "I Love You, Man" and "Duplicity", two other films that also were released widely in the United States. "Duplicity", that was in the third level, was starred in by Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. The two of them became second-hand the secret agent who tried to steal money from the company of the competitor's medicine.

Knowing

WHAT IT IS LIKE when you could see what was not printed in the eyes of the other person, heard that was not heard by the other person and felt what was not felt to be other by the person? You felt something will happen, but you did not know that what. That sixth sense or the hallucination completely? The primary school girl in Massachusetts, during 1959, was named Lucinda Embry, blind about the future. However he the key to the prediction of destruction of the earth alias doomsday. Lucinda was known as the mysterious pupil, tampang him sad, gloomy and often did not speak. The most foreign noose in the class. However, he had the secret that made all his life be full of the question mark. One day, Lucinda's school held the agenda buried a time capsule. The capsule that will be opened came back 50 years afterwards that was full of the envelope. In the envelopes contained the picture of era children in the 50 's about the future. Strangely, not the picture that dicoretkan Lucinda in paper, but the random figure. He wrote figures with very fast, and so his teacher, Ms Taylor,Seized the paper. Don't wrong! Not Lucinda the figure maniac, he only wrote followed whisperings on his ears that did not can be heard the other person. During the burial of the time capsule, Lucinda suddenly vanished. He disappeared. Everyone looked for him. The official of the school was then mobilised. Ms Taylor had finally found Lucinda. The small girl was in the cupboard in the saddening condition, his finger was smeared with blood. In 2009, during him the time capsule was lifted from the grave. All the pupils fought for mutual envelopes. Caleb, one of the pupils, got the envelope belonging to Lucinda. Initially, the father Caleb, John Koestler considered the envelope of only fads of past children. However, Caleb tried convincing, the envelope possibly useful. It was curious, John that was professional as a professor afterwards studied each random digit that was sealed in this old paper. Relied googling, John realised the figures not the normal figure. The figures exact referred in several tragedies that claimed extraordinary casualties, including the unlucky incident that claimed his wife, your mother of Caleb, until making John did not believe the Lord.After the day, the life father-child this changed. Remain at three disasters that did not yet happen in 2009. How did John overcome this situation? Now Caleb that tuna rungu since being born must hear whisperings, as that was heard by Lucinda. John worried at the same time the fear, Caleb will be following figure casualties. But he was not possible to run away from this fate. After fighting as hard as possible, to investigate the disaster as well as to follow again the tracks of Lucinda Embry, John got the answer. Knowing was a work novel of Ryne Douglas Pearson, that afterwards was translated in the form of the film under the direction of the director Alex Proyas. The film that was released by the first time on March 20 2009, this was close with nuances thriller that was gloomy enough. Might be counted, almost all the characterisations in the story drained emotions and the nervousness. The core from the message that wanted to be sent by the writer apparently was not far the difference from the The Eye film. However, the film that was starred in by Nicolas Cage this was superior in the level the depth narrated. Why not, Pearson dared to lift the side of spirituality that Uptil now was identical to the East world. He united him with the scientific level, technology, and the pattern thought realistic in the style of the Western World. But, Knowing not the ghost's film. Pearson the success smuggled the idea at the same time mendekonstruksi by chance about the history of the universe creation. Aesthetics thought the writer as though forcing open the understanding of the individual of reality and the truth of the history of civilisation. That all that happened in the world has been written, was recorded neat: that was born, that died, that came and that went. And only 'that was chosen' that will create the new generation after ate Khuldi. You might believe, might also not. Because this only the film, only related: the reconstruction from the construction on reality, that could be still being believed in by you, could also not.

KNOWING

An excavation that was carried out in a school found things from the quite deliberate past was buried to be found by people in the period that will come. One of the results of the findings were the row of the figure that was made by a child fifty years that set. Originally the row of the figure was seen like the row of the random figure but evidently over the row of the figure was kept by a mystery. Caleb Koestler (Chandler Canterbury), Putra John Koestler (Nicolas Cage) brought the findings and showed to his father who indeed was an astrophysics expert. After researching the row of this figure, John realised had a message that wanted to be sent by the writer and evidently in the row of the same figure was kept by a frightening fact. In the row of the figure was kept several incident notes for fifty last years. Meaning that, when the row of the figure was written, the writer knew what will happen in the period that will come. Although originally did not believe, but John finally Want to not want to feel worried that the prediction that was written in the row of the figure really will happen. And that was most frightening was the prediction that mentioned that before long the human race will be extinct. Currently John has two choices: allowed all that to happen appropriately or tried to oppose fate and to rescue all humankind from the extinction like that was depicted in the prediction from the past. The problem is, is there the person that believed in John's words or John must undertake this noble mission alone. The idea of the world of the end indeed was classified as the classic idea. When you could see ARMAGEDDON that was starred in by Bruce Willis last 1998, approximately the same idea that tried to be promoted through this film. His difference possibly was the existence of diffusion between the science approach and the religious approach that were united in the film had a duration of 121 this minute. Possibly Alex Proyas, the director, tried to embrace the religious group to be able to enjoy this film from the side of their look They also. In fact Alex's idea was not wrong. Unfortunately in his casting was still being felt seldom prop up. Alex tried play safe by not trying to mention the religion frankly but continue to the spectator will be brought to this one connotation because of Alex put several clue that headed there. The matter special effect, in fact not there is one that is new but Alex used him by means of that was quite effective so as to not make an impression basi now from the matter of acting, apparently too much did not have the quite serious problem. One that ought to be regretted precisely was Nicolas Cage that later was still often being trapped playing in films that even damaged the image that he got up since him playing in VAMPIRE 'S KISS.

Shinjuku Incident

For the lovers Jackie Chan, now had the happy news. There was the new film, his title was Shinjuku Incident.Film this was starred in by Jackie Chan and was directed by Derek Yee. His production time was quite long, that is begun in November 2007. Usually films that were starred in by Jackie Chan, the draught would fight scenes, was come between with the humour. However this time, this Shinjuku Incident film was a drama film. The director Derek Yee said that :”mungkin uptil now people really familiar with the image of Jackie Chan as the fight actor, and now the time to change to the drama. In several interviews, Jackie Chan personally said that possibly for the scene eksyen him only 1 percent then. There were rumours that said that Jaycee Chan, the child Jackie will also join in playing in the film ini.Namun still could not be ascertained. This film will initially be released on September 25 2008 but was postponed to the first quarter in 2009. At this time was in post-production. The short synopsis: In the beginning of the 1990 's,a tractor mechanic by the name of the Steelhead call (Jackie Chan) came to Japan illegally, because of looking for his sweetheart who was named Xiu Xiu (Xu Jinglei). Steelhead and his friend Jie (Daniel Wu) met in the territory that was full of the activity, Shinjuku in Tokyo and tried to look for the work of getting money. When Steelhead knew that Xiu Xiu married headed by Yakuza (was the same as the mafia) Japan that was named Eguchi (Ken Watanabe), he decided to continue to live in Japan. He agreed to work to Eguchi as the killer in order to be able to become the Japanese citizen. In short time, he has been involved too far that resulted in him could not run away from Yakuza to again became the normal person.

THE INTERNATIONAL

The death of his workmate when undertaking the task of making Louis Salinger (Clive Owen), a Interpol official, to terobsesi settled a big case that involved a biggest financial institution in the world. Louis in fact not realise that what he did often will not mean because of the big institution to have had the network that was firm all over the world. THE INTERNATIONAL Louis be sure that International Bank of Business and Credit (IBBC) had the connection with a series of crime that happened all over the world. He expected the bank that was based in Luxembourg this was involved in the arms trade, money laundering, and had the power to determine whoever will become the leader in a country. With help of a New York public prosecutor named Eleanor Whitman (Naomi Watts), Louis began to investigate the tracks of this IBBC crime. This adventure brought Louis travelled around the world from New York, Germany, France to Italia only to pursue Wilhelm Wexler (Armin Mueller-Stahl), CEO IBBC, that was responsible for all the illegal operation this bank at the same time that To the cause of the death of the workmate Louis. Well-off, two officials of this law demolished an organisation that has been rooted strong all over the world? THE INTERNATIONAL THE INTERNATIONAL this could be acknowledged as the 'other side' from thriller from Bourne or Bond. Many exchange of fire scenes and the chase with backdrop famous cities all over the world but with the hero's noose that more 'humankind'. Meaning that, Tom Tykwer, the director, did not make this main leading figure become a 'humankind super' that could do any but more as a humankind that tried hard to bring about what was believed in by him. The taking of the picture could be considered to be perfect because of having the 'tiring' impression that was representative from the camera trick to depict the hunting over this world. The performance backdrop several important locations like Guggenheim Museum in New York also were used effectively and did not have the impression seemed like these locations only one tempelan in the whole the tie related. THE INTERNATIONAL Unfortunately the beautiful story must end here because of having several The gap from the side of the writing of the text. The character of several main leading figures appeared to be not enough to receive the development so as to be able to not attract the sympathy of the spectators. Finally the impression that emerged was: they were and moved in accordance with the requirement for the text and not became one in the text. Possibly the idea this story was too big to be packed in the format of the film had a duration of less than two the hour. Because of the text that did not satisfy, then wanted did not want indeed that was casualties was Clive Owen and Naomi Watts. They could not do many to make the leading figure who was played by them to the real noose. However with all the limitations, the actor and this actress still could act with quite good.

THE SHINJUKU INCIDENT

The love brought a tractor technician from China named Steelhead (Jackie Chan) departed for Japan. Steelhead meant looked for Xiu Xiu (Jinglei Xu), his sweetheart that suddenly disappeared without having the news. An arrival in Japan, Steelhead must bear the disappointed feeling because that he found not like that he hope for. When arriving there, Steelhead just realise that the dark immigrants from China available in the country the life is isolated from the Japanese community generally. They lived in the hiding because of being frightened was caught and returned back to China. Because of not having the alternative, Steelhead was forced to have to survive in Shinjuku by working to the blue-collar worker. Not old at intervals of, Steelhead succeeded in finding Xiu Xiu but unfortunately not like that he hope for. Xiu Xiu evidently has changed the names and will immediately marry Eguichi (Masaya Kato) that immediately will become the Yakuza leader in the area. This reality did not make the Steelhead intention subside. He afterwards tried to approach Eguichi And straightaway got the belief from this Japanese man. And because of Steelhead help also, Eguichi had finally succeeded in eliminating the weight rival and holding the authority as the leader Yakuza. As the feeling statement thank you, Eguichi bestowed the Shinjuku territory for Steelhead. Evidently increasingly old Steelhead with Eguichi, increasingly was difficult also for Steelhead to leave the world of the crime. Various ease that he could since him with Eguichi increasingly made him fall to the world of the Japanese crime. Apparently in the film was entitled SHINJUKU INCIDENT this Jackie Chan tried to run away from trademark the champion kung fu that since 1976. The proof is, although still had several scenes that involved Jackie in the struggle, but his impression he was a person petarung the street and not the champion kung fu. In fact this was just very legal but the image that has been strong that in fact could not be eliminated just like that only with a film, except if this film had the strength that could change the image that has adhered on the marrow fans. From the side Acting, Jackie Chan indeed not the newcomer in front of the camera. With track record for almost 40 years, explained he did not have the problem with the interpretation of the text in the form of the movement, the face and the intonation. Moreover with the idea related that really Asia like this, clear did not have the quite serious problem. Unfortunately, hard efforts of Jackie Chan this was not matched by the idea related that original. As a result, none made this film be recalled by the person and become the turning-point for Jackie Chan. Saw this film, appeared to not have his difference by seeing the Hong Kongese film in the 80 's that was dominated by the idea the story croaked the life of the world of the crime in Hong Kong. To just recalled the glory of the Hong Kongese film in Indonesia, this film might be made one of the choices, but not if you hoped for something that was spectacular from the noose of Jackie Chan.
