Cut off from the rest of the world, only four individuals who strangely find themselves immune to zombification have the power to protect the remaining survivors from the horrors of the island, to discover what's really going on and find a way to escape before their own fatal ends.

Tue, 02 Aug 2011 05:37:00 -0700 Rio DVD http://flashwd.posterous.com/rio-dvd http://flashwd.posterous.com/rio-dvd

A classic tale of self-discovery, romance, and adventure, Rio is the story of Blu, a flightless macaw who was taken from the forests of Rio de Janeiro as a young bird and raised by a kind girl in a small Minnesota town. When an ornithologist comes to town and informs Blu's now-grown owner Linda that Blu is the last male of his species, Blu and Linda return to Rio so that Blu can mate with a feisty female named Jewel. Thus begins an adventure in which Blu encounters everything from the complexities of courtship and love, to thugs involved in an exotic animal theft ring, strange new friendships--including one with an overly friendly slobbering bulldog--and a crazy ride through a Carnaval parade. Blu and Linda both mature as a result of their journey in Rio, and love ensures that life will never be quite the same for either ever again. The animation in Rio is quite impressive, the characters are endearing, the Brazilian music is very appealing, and the star-studded voice cast includes Anne Hathaway, Jesse Eisenberg, Will  garmin nuvi 1350lmt i Am, Wanda Sykes, Jane Lynch, George Lopez, and Jamie Foxx. While the story doesn't really offer anything new--instead playing much like a rehashing of some of the major plot points from movies like Madagascar, Finding Nemo, and Babe--that doesn't mean the film isn't perfectly entertaining for both kids and adults.

Synopsis

This comedy-adventure centers on Blu, vizio e322vl a flightless macaw who acts more human than bird. When Blu, the last of his kind, discovers there’s another – and that she’s a she – he embarks on an adventure to magical Rio. There, he meets Jewel and a menagerie of vivid characters who help Blu fulfill his dream and learn to fly.

When I first heard of Rio my expectations were not high, never the less I wanted to watch it, mainly because of the Studio them self i loved Ice age so i though i would give Rio a chance.

How ever my mind was blown with in the first few moments of the movie actually starting, it was a stunning and vibrant welcoming in to the movie with a exhilarating song to go with it.

Now from the moment i fount out that Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) was the last of his kind and had to mate with Jewl (Anne Hathaway) I had figured out the story but that did not stop me from watching on, and thank god it didn't, though the story was predictable it was told in a magnificent way so much to make want to watch it again.

Moving on to the cast it self, it was not until I looked at the cast list did I see what great performers were playing in the movie, this was down to that i was so took in with the characters it totally slipped my mind to think who there voice actor was, and i was even more surprised when i saw that Jesse Eisenberg played Blue, he was great in the Social network so I was shocked I didn't pick up on him while watching the movie.

Before I conclude this review nikon d5100 review I would just like to say that the music in this movie was breath taking through out, and at no point did I feel the movie was out of place or was too in your face.

Overall this is a great movie, great for the entire family and if you are on the fence on if to watch this or not then let this be the final push to convince you to watch this as i promise you will not be let down.

Wed, 27 Jul 2011 21:27:00 -0700 Catherine on PS3 http://flashwd.posterous.com/catherine-on-ps3 http://flashwd.posterous.com/catherine-on-ps3

Catherine Falling for this girl might be hazardous to your health...As Vincent a man recently succumbed to the irresistible beauty of the game's titular diversion players find themselves swept into a treacherous love triangle. Catherine's core themes those of free will of the delicate nature of relationships and the choices we make within them marry perfectly with the intense terror-filled gameplay that serves to accurately reflect Vincent's growing sense of anxiety. It is an experience wholly unlike any to come before it and is certain to leave gamers talking and thinking about Vincent's tribulations long after the credits have rolled.Features: The Horrors of Love - Vincent's waking fears doubts pressures and growing guilt about commitment and fidelity now gleefully follow him into his dreams manifesting as horribly disfigured monsters and a ticking clock. Between a Rock and a Soft Place - The player must navigate Vincent through heavy moral decisions. As in real life hardly anything is black and white. What is the best memory cards value of honesty? What is the right thing to do? Either way someone's going to get hurt. Worse yet someone could die. The Nightmare of Your Dreams - Famed character artist Shigenori Soejima and master composer Shoji Meguro create sights and sounds unlike anything else. As unforgettable and original as the game's narrative Catherine's visual direction and musical score define and perfectly complement Vincent's terrifying ascent into the dizzying perils of love. Escape With or From a Friend - Local competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes in addition to leaderboards ensure that the many thrills and horrors of racing through twisted stages can be enjoyed by more than one player and add hours of extra gameplay to the overall experience.

I played this tonight after I received the game in the mail. Overall it is very addicting to see the storyline progress and I like the way you can affect the outcomes. There are supposedly 8 endings. I am on the last part of Stage 7 (8 stages total), and I've played for about 9 hours 45 minutes. So the game is pretty short... I did not mess with the arcade game in the bar though. But if you go for the different endings and two different girls, you will obviously have a lot of replay value. Catherine has many funny moments and everyone can relate to the relationship issues in here. The puzzles are CHALLENGING which is what I like. There were times when I was very frustrated screaming at the TV, nba jerseys and a few had me redoing them for over half an hour because I couldn't solve them correctly. People who get frustrated easily will probably not enjoy this game. The stages actually require you to think and use your brain. I wish there were more games like this. If you get stuck, it's better to just restart from the checkpoint or do something differently because there aren't infinite ways to solve each puzzle. You're either doing it right or wrong. Bottom line Catherine is UNIQUE and one of the best PS3 games I've played in a while. I rarely buy a full price game freshly released but this was definitely worth my money.

Hands down, Catherine is one of the most original and visually appealing mature games released this Summer of 2011. The presentation is absolutely gorgeous and the serious theme of morality is a welcome and refreshing change compared to usual violent video games of this generation. Unfortunately, the gameplay is not for everyone and while the story is very entertaining, the overall unbalanced pacing of the game can turn some gamers off.

The main attraction of the game is its puzzles and while they gradually differ as you gain new techniques and fight different bosses, the sad reality is, your first puzzle is not very different from the final puzzle. To balance out the puzzles are what I call "social" parts of the game where casino bonus you can interact with other characters in the bar and further develop the excellent story. In order to further immerse players into the game, a mixture of anime and the unique cel-shaded graphics are used throughout to move the game along.

But is the game fun? For me, not really. I completed the Japanese version when it came out on February 2011 and just finished the US version a short while ago. I appreciate the fact that Atlus and the Persona team continue to evolve and develop such original games but this was not my cup of tea. For everyone else, play it for yourself and hopefully you understand why this is one of the most original and refreshing games to come out in garmin gps a very long time.

Fri, 01 Jul 2011 03:05:00 -0700 The King's Speech DVD http://flashwd.posterous.com/the-kings-speech-dvd http://flashwd.posterous.com/the-kings-speech-dvd

Candidates for president and prime minister choose to run, but kings rarely have a choice. Such was the case for Prince Albert, known by family members as Bertie (Colin Firth), whose stutter made public speaking difficult. Upon the death of his father, George V (Michael Gambon, making the most of a small part), the crown went to Bertie's brother, Edward VIII (Guy Pearce), who abdicated to marry divorcée Wallis Simpson. All the while, Bertie and his wife, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter, excellent), try to find a solution to his stammer. Nothing works until they meet Australian émigré Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), a failed actor operating out of a threadbare office. He believes Bertie's problem stems from emotional rather than physiological issues, leading to a clash of wills that allows the Oscar®-winning Rush (Shine) best hd tv to buy and the Oscar-nominated Firth (A Single Man) to do some of their best work (in a neat bit of casting, Firth's Pride and Prejudice costar, Jennifer Ehle, plays Logue's wife). All their efforts, from the tense to the comic--Bertie doesn't stutter when he swears--lead to the speech King George VI must make to the British public on the eve of World War II. At a time when his country needs him the most, he can't afford to fail. As Stephen Frears did in The Queen, Tom Hooper (HBO's Elizabeth I) lends vulnerability to a royal figure, showing how isolating that life can be--and how much difference a no-nonsense friend like Logue can make. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

There always seems to come a time in every British actors career where they must play the role of a historical British monarch. Riding on the success of his career defining performance in "A Single Man" and sampling the glory of Best Actor nominations across the award circuits, Colin Firth comes storming back with another film, determined, this time, to take the all the prizes with him too. But is "The King's Speech" worth its pre-Oscar hype? Set across the years between the First and Second World War, "The King's Speech" concentrates on the rise of King George VI (Firth) and his personal woes, including his infamous stammer and disdain for public speaking. Obviously being royalty, having an ability to engage the public in moving and inspirational speeches tends to be a necessity of the job. In attempting to overcome this disability, he's entrusted in the care of the eccentric and flamboyant speech therapist, book store Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). Over the course of the film, the two men of distinctly different social classes come to blows but ultimately forge a friendship which will last a lifetime. Colin Firth's portrayal of George VI (or simply Bertie to his family and friends) was a fascinating insight into the king's troubled personal life. His tragic inability to speak, both in public and to his family, was also tender and, in a way, heart-warmingly humbling. While Firth will deservedly get the plaudits for his regal starring role, it was Geoffrey Rush's witty, genuine, off-the-wall performance as Logue which personally blew me away, with immense comic timing and inability to be overwhelmed while in the presence of his most prestigious client. The supporting cast was littered with enough real quality to make any award body take notice, and make most audiences marvel in delight. The graceful and articulate Helen Bonham Carter gives a honest and loving performance as the late Queen Mother, Elizabeth. Michael Gambon is sharp and somewhat intimidating as Bertie's father, King George V. Guy Pearce is arrogantly brilliant as Firth's brother and predecessor, King Edward VIII. While the excellent Timothy Spall shone once again, in his second portrayal as the great Winston Churchill (his first was in October's god awful stop animation, Jackboots on Whitehall). It was also a pleasure to see the classy Jennifer Ehle - who starred opposite Firth in, perhaps, his most famous role as Mr Darcy in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice - as Lionel's wife. Hooper should also be credited for making a visually engaging period drama, which never once felt tired or dull on the eyes, as a lot of these quintessentially British affairs can so often become. The film's themes are also an uplifting and enjoyable treat for all; a story of friendship between essentially a prince and a pauper, a man's journey to overcome his own personal adversaries and become the king he was born to be. dvd movies Yes we won't lie, this isn't original by any means: these are classic tried and tested formulas that transcends cinema of the ages - but rarely to this level of detail and panache. Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush's performances make "The King's Speech" an enthralling journey which is heart-warming, humorous and genuinely sincere. Highly recommended.

Fri, 17 Jun 2011 23:30:00 -0700 True Grit dvd movie review http://flashwd.posterous.com/true-grit-dvd-movie-review http://flashwd.posterous.com/true-grit-dvd-movie-review

A 14-calendar year-aged woman desires a man with "genuine grit" to assist her deliver inside the fugitive who killed her father. That she settles on Rooster Cogburn--a 1-eyed, booze-soaked, potbellied U.S. marshal on the downward curve of his profession in regulation enforcement--may be the glorious springboard for all variations of Real Grit: the Charles Portis novel, the 1969 western that won an Oscar for John Wayne, and the 2010 Coen brothers adaptation. The Coens have some mighty footwear to fill in their version, and their selection for the eye-patch is Jeff Bridges, who growls his way through an understated require on Rooster.

Matt Damon plays LaBoeuf, the Texas Ranger who joins the hunt; Josh Brolin may be the scurvy killer; and Barry Pepper is the chief from the outlaw gang. Operating as usual with cinematographer Roger Deakins, the Coens exhibit their clear, crisp view of western areas, thrillingly creating new requires on recognizable vistas including the frontier city, the snowy forest, and also the isolated cabin at evening. The Coens revel inside incredibly ornate dialogue, which makes it possible for their sardonic perspective to bleed in to the fabric--vibrant actress Hailee Steinfeld isn't going to appear whatsoever fazed with the vocabulary, which may very well be a crucial purpose she got the employment as heroine Mattie Ross. Though True Grit would not hold the heft of the best films from the Coens' arsenal (there is a thing extremely formal and also a wee bit school about their stroll by means of this familiar textual content), they do develop a pleasant sense of a superb yarn, retold around the campfire for the umpteenth time. --Robert Horton This film is actually a quite ambitious undertaking because of the Coen bro's who are probably the best ambitious project writers && directors approximately. That this could well be compared to the orignal CORRECT GRIT && that Jeff Bridges would encounter comparision with John Wayne's Rooster Cogburn was inevitable. 

Nevertheless this is a unique TRUE GRIT. Not in important story line but instead within the personalties as displayed within the e book. Truth be told the unique, which I love,  was way more John Wayne does John Wayne in CORRECT GRIT than it was John Wayne becomes Rooster Cogburn in CORRECT GRIT. The Coen's arranged out to produce a motion picture truer to it's literary foundation && in that they've succeeded.  I heard a single grievance that Jeff Bridges would hardly ever be nearly anything but Lloyd Bridges son to a reviewer. How prejudicially blind. For a single factor Jeff Bridges can be a far far better actor (capable of adjust personality to suit a role) than his father && most definitely exceeds John Wayne who was a TOWERING display screen presence but received to generally be cast as John Wayne or glance && sound poorly. Wayne's phone was significantly past his control. Bridges will certainly not equal that presence but who can?  I heard that there have been situations when Bridges talk was challenging to understand. Are we to deliver him on the alcoholic university for elocution? Certainly he was tricky to know, he was a raging drunk as in the guide, not the grinning drinker Wayne played. Really frankly it reminded me in the time I learn a review that stated a sure female walked around && appeared vacant which made the indicate inadequate. She was enjoying a withdrawn lady with deep emotional issues, duh! 

This movie is often a marvelously period perfect movie && the outdoor pictures would be the equal of any beneficial western approximately. Matt Damon offers his ideal efficiency executing the Texas Ranger in accordance to the guide, and he grew to become a greater actor in accomplishing so. Josh Brolin && Hailee Steinfeld, who is a fantastic foil for Bridge's Cogburn, make no blunders in their portrayals both.  This is a master piece of literary translation && a tremendous work of casting, acting && images. I see a lot of exhibits now which have far too several near-ups without any facial expression to find out. Not so here. They manufactured great use of near ups.

Fri, 17 Jun 2011 15:12:00 -0700 Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides DVD Review http://flashwd.posterous.com/pirates-of-the-caribbean-on-stranger-tides-dv http://flashwd.posterous.com/pirates-of-the-caribbean-on-stranger-tides-dv

Can anything at all maintain Captain Jack Sparrow lower? Very well, as lengthy as Johnny Depp plays the offbeat pirate of the substantial seas, as he does inPirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, the solution is "Not bloody probably, mate!" This fourth installment of the Pirates franchise is jolly great fun--practically as good because the very first a single, the truth is.

The creating is crisp, the actions wonderful--and there's the addition of the foe finally the match of Captain Jack: Ian McShane as the dreaded, and dreadful, Blackbeard. McShane appears to be for being having as a lot exciting as Depp, and that is declaring a thing--channeling his dastardly character on Deadwood but retaining his epithets rated PG-13. Including for the festivities is the winsome Penélope Cruz, as Angelica, a woman with a past entwined with Jack Sparrow's. Angelica now may very well be a fearsome pirate herself--or maybe only a cunning con artist tugging at Sparrow's heartstrings.

The motion in On Stranger Tides centers within the quest to seek out the legendary Fountain of Youth from the Americas. However the plot, not surprisingly, is incidental inside Pirates films. Through the earliest scenes, it can be clear the actions, and Depp's winking on the video camera, will be the stars. Captain Jack stages a giant foods battle in entrance in the King of England, culminating in a very chandelier scene worthy of The Phantom in the Opera, and he is away at a gallop. Along with the ride are preceding cast users Geoffrey Rush (who's marketed out and is now an unctuous representative of His Majesty's Navy); loyal sidekick Kevin McNally, who narrowly escapes a demise sentence, after which celebrates by leaping on board Captain Jack's fraught mission; and Keith Richards as Jacky's dad, who speaks number of phrases, but wise kinds. You will find even zombie pirates, along with a mysterious mermaid.

Pirates of your Caribbean isn't appropriate for viewers underneath 8 or so, simply because it is really dark and intense in spots, but in any other case, it's a rollicking good popcorn video. --A.T. Hurley From Disney and Producer Jerry Bruckheimer can come all of the pleasurable, epic adventure and humor that ignited the unique.
