step up all in
Sean and his crew the mob from the previous film are in Los Angeles trying to make a living off of dancing but, every audition they go to they are turned down. The mob decides to leave Los Angeles and return to Miami thinking there is nothing left for them. Sean together with the help of Moose form a crew consisting of all the previous Step Up Characters to win a dance battle in Las Vegas, called the Vortex, for a chance of a 3 Year dancing contract. later in the film it also told that Andie has broken up with her past relationship with Chase and Sean with Emily, and it will also focus how Andie and Sean fall to each other's arms, even though the pressure of the winning the competition and the rivalry of Sean's former Dance Crew the MOB arise through Sean's mind.
The film has been met with mixed reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 43% based on 40 reviews. and it says: "With slick choreography all too often interrupted by feeble attempts at plot, Step Up: All In would be more fun with all of its dialogue edited out". On Metacritic, the film has a score of 45 out of 100, based on 17 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews
Among these dancers is Sean (Ryan Guzman), one of the flash-mob leaders from Step Up 4: Miami Heat, now scraping a living in Los Angeles. Abandoned by his former associates, he decides to assemble a fresh crew composed of characters from previous Step Up films – though if you're wondering if original series star Channing Tatum might return for a cameo, don't hold your breath.
Sean and his new friends head for Las Vegas to compete in a TV dance competition hosted by pop starlet Alexxa Brava, played gratingly by Izabella Miko, who looks like Michelle Pfeiffer and acts like one of the villains from The Hunger Games.

Here again, worrying hints of satire and cynicism threaten to undercut the naively wholesome charm that has defined the series from the outset. On the other hand, there are still no openly gay characters in the Step Up universe, which in 2014 seems surprising if not outright gutless.
The dance routines themselves have their moments, particularly when they involve Adam Sevani, who has the moves of the young Michael Jackson and some of the impish softness as well. His character, Moose, remains the biggest drawcard of the series – though perhaps for contractual reasons, he's used in only a handful of scenes.
What is missing here, aside from a certain amount of youthful zest, is a specifically cinematic energy. In the best parts of the earlier Step Up films the camera was fully integrated with the action, especially when following dancers through everyday settings in the manner of an old-fashioned Hollywood musical.
Nothing here matches Sevani's dancing-in-the-street tribute to Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly in Step Up 3D – still the peak of the series – or the art gallery sequence in Step Up 4. Even outside the TV competition, most of the dancing takes place in strictly delimited spaces; at worst, Sie seems to be cutting almost at random between fixed vantage points, as if mechanically covering a sports event.

IDIOTS OR GENIUS?

They seems like three idiots to all the people, but who knows?
Indian movie <3 Idiots> is very thoughtful movie, it provide ideas of whether we should follow the existing rules. There are so many people who become No Face to the world, because they are not identical anymore. They live in the similar place, do the similar thing and perform similarly as well.
They lost particularlity of themselves and thinking the same way which the most people would do. They live like a robot, but do they want to? Have they tried to breaking the jail?
That is these 3 idiots did.

They are the people don't perform as same with most people, so they seems like a "idiots". They are thoughtful and smart, the most importantly, they lived real.
They have the brave most people would never have.
It encourage us to follow the dream we have, not the existing rules.
Become more brave, become more free.
It not a fault to do what you like, life only have once for everyone. Make it worth something, that is the movie wants to tell us.

Recommendation of Action thriller film (Taken 2008)
If you watch this film, you will probably
think about your father. This film is about love between father and daughter. I
do not think the Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) who is a main actor is a common
father in virtual life. However, I am pretty sure that every father would have
same feeling when he is in the same circumstance as Bryan has.

The film ‘Taken’ directed by Pierre Morel shows how much father loves his daughter. Neeson plays a former CIA agent named Bryan Mills who has a kidnapped daughter. Kim (Maggie Grace) who is daughter goes to travel in France and meets human trafficker who kidnaps Kim. Since Bryan knows that Kim gets kidnapped, he uses every possible ways to save his daughter even although he is in danger.


This film makes audiences to be sad because
Kim does not really like her father, Bryan. But Bryan still strives to save
her. Also, Bryan has divorced and Kim lives with her step-father. Before Kim is
kidnapped, her step-father seems like doing more than Bryan. However, when
actually Kim is in danger, step-father cannot do anything while Bryan fights
with the human traffickers. We can observe what real father can do.
This film is not only action thriller
genre, but also gives some lessons to us. Also, some movie dialogs help us to
focus on the film more. The film precisely expresses great love between father
and daughter. I bet every daughter wants this kind of father.

The legend of 1900
Actor's name is very long, so people call it "1900" because in the first day of 1900, on "Virginia," the one of the coal workers found him-abandoned baby in the banquet hall on the piano. Similar to the birth of the hero characters in the Chinese classical novel will be accompanied by his mother in his night dreaming about dragons or fairy plot, the film begins with an unusual started the "1900" legendary life. Born in the boat, grow in the boat, back and forth between Europe and the United States several times a year, but he has never been to shore. He was born without document, without an ID card, and he even dose know his own birthday, so to some extent, the world does not exist "1900" this man, he only exists in some people's memory, like in his good friend Max’s memory. The structure of the film was very clever. He does not use the hero's subjective narrative perspective as the starting point, but in the hero's friend Max - a deadbeat trumpeter for clues, to pull the different audience into the same charming story. This is indeed a very fascinating story. Because of poverty Max was forced to sell their trumpet named "kangpai" in music stores. Before leaving, he asked the owner to let him blow the last song again. The old owner promised his request. So, he blew the music “no name” by a friend of him-"1900" on the street. Old shopkeeper surprised and put a patchwork of broken record player. When the music played, it was the same melody. Therefore Max has the opportunity to start to tell the owner of this unknown musician legend. It is the beginning. We skip the childhood of “1900”. When the little boy sat in front of the piano at the first time, the beautiful notes refers to the next slowly. In the middle of the night the ship's people woke up from a dream, in my pajamas in unison towards the hall. No one knows where he get the inspiration, which others need ten years to reach the state. The director did not say, we also don't know. Perhaps it is the gift of god. Time fleeting, the little boy grew up and became awesome guy. He randomly on the "Virginia" plays the piano, can play ten kinds of styles. Once he began to play, he means that other musicians can stop working. Everyone is emerging in his unique style of performance in the dance. Max is the ship at this time a bugler, and "1900" forged a deep friendship, also witnessed the genius pianist's saga. In fact, the theme of the film from Max and "1900" after meeting becomes clear. Max (and others) all along constant persuasion "1900" left "Virginia", I believe that is all the audience's position. We all want to see such a genius once set foot on the land, how the world will be? How about his fame and fortune, and what about his life? But shrewd director never lets our desire to succeed. From head to head, the distance is just a springboard, but countless times was flatly rejected. Of course, there are close to the shore. Beautiful woman inadvertently inspire the pianist lurking inside the hazy feeling for many years, a tune "gentle" (that is, the Max in front of the "no name") played given, exquisite notes since he refers to as the Yangtze river source can be developed only under a congested QingJian leisurely. The engineer recorded this song, ready to take to printing. It's a pity that "1900" obviously are not interested in fame and wealth. He took the record, want as a gift to the female passenger. This song for her, of course, is the perfect. However, like many stories, a boat in the crowd separated his wish, what a pity. Left so he broke the world the only recorded his music album, and finally decided to towards the end of the ramp. He said to the Max, "I think in onshore guihai call..." Elaborate type after farewell, "1900" Max lent his coat, carrying case, high-spirited toward the shore. Of course he finally not ashore. When he was standing in the middle of the ramp, looking at what a smoky industrial age, people are busy, endless. He stood transfixed, suddenly turned and walked back. The answer, of course, only will be announced at the last. After some years, Max left the ship, also left the old friend. He passed a cloud of depression and war, but the ever-present miss "Virginia" on the day. He flashes back to and prompted the trumpeter in the shop owner found is about to blow up the old ship - "Virginia". The workers will be a case of one case of explosive into above the tank, after decades of years baptism, former luxury liners is about to die. But where is the pianist at the moment? Max with the legendary story persuaded the shipyard owners and search him into the boat, because he firmly believes that "1900" is in the boat. Again and again shouted, searched every corner of the cabin, finally, shipyard boss lost patience of the story. Max held the last glimmer of hope in the middle of the borrowed record player and that record back to the shop. He held the player to "gentle" melody flowing in the "Virginia" on every corner. Lens with swept the shabby hull, finally, the emergence of the "1900" no surprise in the shadows. In the end, Max last persuaded the pianist get out. The results of course still refused. Recall that "1900" standing in the middle of the springboard. "Not because I stopped to see, but because of what we do not see anything... endless city, in addition to an end... for the piano, the keyboard has a beginning, also has the end, is not infinite, but music is unlimited. When the music played on the keyboard, in front of millions of keys, infinite keyboard how to play the music on the shore and go to...? Love a woman, live in a house, buy a plot of land, looking a scene, walk a dead-end street. Many options I'm confused about what to do... I would rather give up my life." Similar to the Lao Tsu, the opposition of "have" is "nothing". The end of the story was a profound philosophy - from a special reflection of position of the industrial age. The pianist "Virginia" finally will leave. Slender hands in the air the symbolic play the last song, accompanied by a loud noise and the great ship sank in the sea together. One generation of ghost and sounds far alone. The pianist's story ended, with only a Max with the story drift. "As long as you have a good story to tell, someone willing to listen to, you haven't finished..." A movie most see director capability of local rather than the story itself more attractive and interesting details. The nearly two hours of film has a lot of fooling highlights. Such as Max and "1900" met the stormy night they sit on the piano "go with the flow", and such as "1900" stand in front of a diving board show a picture of a grand industrial age. And especially is the inventor of the jazz pianist and shelly to that part of the fight, is also a climax of the film. Shelly, the expressionless sitting in front of the piano with flowing fingering conquered all the audience present, every song played, all the applause. As everyone thinks, including Max, "1900" will lose the game, the pianist asked to him with a cigarette on the piano, and then under the full breath gaze, show a pen. Everyone was shocked. Old lady wig is waiter touch fall not self-knowledge, businessman of cigar drops on the pants also don't know, shelly glass slide on the ground, also slowly condensation of expression. Sweating when "1900" the end of the play, he will contact at the end of the string, cigarettes smoke burning up immediately. if he suddenly woke up from a dream, a long startled people broke into thunderous applause... No matter from macroscopic or microcosmic perspective this is a film into perfection. Genius, a sense of humor, love, philosophy, have unusual story, there are different people. But I think the end of the film a bit regret. When Max "Virginia" patrol the body play that no famous songs, if "1900" will never appear to the audience a larger space for imagination? More than ten years time is swift, experience and other war, perhaps the pianist already ashore, have families and live the life of the ordinary people, or he is still in the boat in a corner of his work to listen to, he already died because of disease or and so on. But when "1900" in the corner, was largely to the people in the most don't want to see the ending. The emergence of the "1900" final just in order to reveal the answer to the audience, in order to sublimate the theme, in order to express the idea that the director. But, for the purpose of this simple to abandon the story could have produced a variety of ending, is so bad. The most classic a dream of red mansions part is said before the death of Lin daiyu "treasure jade hi..." For what good, nature can derive an infinite number of answers. If the ending is no ending, will it be better?

W.E
The England romantic drama W.E was released on 1 September 2011 and co-written and directed by Madonna. This movie tells a famous story from a very unique perspective. It received many negative review since it's pre-released period. Colin Kennedy called the movie 'disaster', noting the film's 'judicious casting and handsome design were marred by a callow director's shaky shot selection.'
In my opinion, however, this movie is a significance movie based on three elements.
The first attracting point is the name of the movie--W.E. When most people see the name, they will feel curious about the story--what is this two letter stand for? This is an entry point to be a good movie. In it's official explanation, letter W stands for Wallis and E stands for Edwards who were the two main characters in the story. To understand it in a deeper way, love always need to be combination by two people--that is 'we'.
Another perspective the movie talks about is courage. The world is full of unknown and change and doubt. People are easy to be hurt. However,if we have courage, we can also be strong. Wallis is an American lady who have divorced twice.When she fall in love with Edward, it is very clear that it will be a long and difficult way to go. But Wallis dare to face all the barrier and difficulties.As a woman, she made all the attempting and sacrifice she can do to continue this relationship with the man she loved. That is all the thing she can do and shows rare courage in that age.
Moreover, this courage can pass through time and space. Wally, a lonely housewife, who has been neglected by her doctor husband and a big fan of the love story of Wallis and Edwards find the courage to be back in the life again. All the positive energy can pass on forever and influence the human society.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014






The turtles were a plus. They looked cool and were the most entertaining characters by far. Mikey was funnier than he was obnoxious and Alan Ritchson(?) pulled off a suiting Raphael. The low part of the turtles I thought was Johnny Knoxville's voice for Leonardo. I felt it didn't fit. The fact that the turtles were teenagers if today resonated well also. I was impressed their was a WuTang reference. More pluses include the action sequence and fx. They were both well planned out and on point, but the plot, oh the plot.


This brings me to the minuses. The plot seemed quite stretched to make Megan Fox's April character carry more value in the storyline of the turtles. Also I know the demographic for these films is always a young one but the dialogue concerning the story was far too simple and laid out for the viewer. A lot was conveyed by means of telling instead of showing. Especially when Splinter was around. Jesus Splinter needed something different going for him in this movie I found he was a weak point in voice acting and his place in the movie in general.

Guardians Of The Galaxy
Guardians Of The Galaxy
Light years from Earth, 26 years after being abducted, Peter Quill finds himself the prime target of a manhunt after discovering an orb wanted by Ronan the Accuser.
After stealing a mysterious orb in the far reaches of outer space, Peter Quill is now the main target of a manhunt led by the villain known as Ronan the Accuser. To help fight Ronan and his team and save the galaxy from his power, Quill creates a team known as the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' to save the world.

This film will blow your mind. Quite literally, it is jam-packed with edge-of-your-seat action thrills and pure comedic gold. Don't be expecting a moody companion piece like that of Nolan's trilogy, or Man of Steel. It keeps more in touch with Avengers, although it's a lot funnier and really builds upon the upcoming Infinity Gauntlet arc.

The actors are incredible, matching the character developments, the dialogue and action sequences are spectacular and the visual effects should surely earn a nod come Oscar time, as I'd personally put them on par with those seen in the recent Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. The run length compliments the well-scripted pacing of the movie itself, whilst plenty of interesting secondary characters litter Guardians with an ensemble cast that has exceeded anything yet seen in the Marvel/DC movie worlds. I don't pertain to the DC versus Marvel argument, but this masterpiece alone has certainly put Marvel on the front foot in terms of cinema outings, far surpassing the very enjoyable Man of Steel and, I believe, edging out Nolan's trilogy and then some.

A comforting nurse (Aisha Hinds) tells Mia that it is up to her whether or not she wants to stay.
The story flashes-back once again to Mia attending one of Adam's concerts with his band Willamette Stone, where she doesn't seem to fit in with anyone. Adam's band is steadily gaining more recognition and gets signed to a label, which starts to put a strain on their relationship due to the travel schedule. While at dinner Grandpa suggests that Mia should apply to Juilliard, an idea which she initially rebuffs, but ends up further researching. She eventually lands an audition in San Francisco.

Guy Lodge of Variety said, "An altogether smashing sequel to 2011's better-than-expected Rise of the Planet of the Apes, this vivid, violent extension of humanoid ape Caesar's troubled quest for independence bests its predecessor in nearly every technical and conceptual department, with incoming helmer Matt Reeves conducting the proceedings with more assertive genre elan than Rise journeyman Rupert Wyatt.
Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter stated that the film "manages to do at least three things exceptionally well that are hard enough to pull off individually: Maintain a simmering level of tension without let-up for two hours, seriously improve on a very good first entry in a franchise and produce a powerful humanistic statement using a significantly simian cast of characters. In the annals of sequels, Dawn is to Rise of the Planet of the Apes what The Empire Strikes Back was to Star Wars—it's that much better." Tim Robey of The Telegraph said, "There's evident patience and intelligence to the filmmaking all over, as well as an engagement with genuine ideas about diplomacy, deterrence, law and leadership. However often it risks monkey-mad silliness, it's impressively un-stupid." Drew McWeeny of HitFix awarded the film "A+" and said "Dawn is not just a good genre movie or a good summer movie. It's a great science-fiction film, full-stop, and one of the year's very best movies so far." Ty Burr of the Boston Globe wrote that "in bearing, speech, and agonized expressiveness, Serkis’s Caesar conveys the conflicts of a king with almost Shakespearean grandeur." A.O. Scott of The New York Times praised the film for being able to balance out the action sequences and special effects with strong storytelling, writing that "Dawn is more than a bunch of occasionally thrilling action sequences, emotional gut punches and throwaway jokes arranged in predictable sequence. It is technically impressive and viscerally exciting, for sure, but it also gives you a lot to think, and even to care, about.
It is the eighth theatrical film in the franchise. The film was released in United States and Canada on July 11, 2014, and was met with critical acclaim, with critics praising its visual effects, story, direction, acting, and emotional depth. It was also a box office success, having grossed over $624 million.

The Adventure with Spirited Away
Everyone has a dream of adventure when we are young. Chihiro Ogino have the most beautiful and exciting adventure surprise all of us in the year when she was 10 years old. She grow up with this adventure, become a hero to save the life of her parents and herself, know lots of nice person, have a good friend, and remember all of the memories in her life.
I think this movie it about grow up, friendship, and how to find a real you in different life. I admire her brave, and she becomes the most desirable idle in my childhood, maybe in lots of children’s dream as well.
Haku is one of the important person in this movie. Though there are many characters like bathhouse's boiler-man---- Kamaji, the worker---- Lin, the witch----Yubaba, a silent masked creature named No-Face, Yubaba's baby son Boh, I think Haku plays the most important role in Chihiro Ogino’s life who in called Sen in the adventure. He gives help to a helpless her, give love to a little girl and create the most beautiful dream.
Friends make the happiest us in both dreamed and real life. They give us brave, company, love, help, when we are scared, lonely, confused and helpless. The life is getting bigger and better when surrounded by friends. In Spirited Away, I think one of the ideas Hayao Miyazaki wants to express to all children and adults.
Spirited Away teach me how to become a better person, find different ourselves in difficulties. This also is a dream to many kids, encourage them to be brave and enjoy every minutes in the life. To adults, I think it is more about make the heart feel warm by watch Chihiro Ogino’s adventure. Maybe everyone need a adventure, maybe we all want an adventure, maybe there must be an adventure to make us grow. But I will never forget Chihiro Ogino and her friends give me a dream in that summer, bring all the expectation to the future and a warm heart to this world.
Thanks, my dear Chihiro Ogino.
