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.

Some people who read the novel does not like this film, because they thought the book is much better than the film. However, the plot is attracting. Hopefully you will interested in this movie.

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.

Best Love Story (Titanic)

I am pretty sure that you guy have watched this movie before. 
There may be no doubt if I say 'Titanic' is the best romance film as Box Office shows the movie is on top 2 among American movies. 

This film was based on the real tragic cruise crash with an iceberg. caused the deaths of more than 1,500 people in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in modern history. This movie contains the love story of Rose and Jack who are main actor and actress in the tragic accident.

Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) is low income person who wins the Titanic ticket in gambling. He boards the cruise in third class. He accidentally meets the Rose (Gloria Stuart) when Rose tries to commit suicide. Jack saves her live and they fall in love. However, Rose is first class passenger who already has a Beyonce. So, everyone from her people refuses this love with Jack. However, Jack and Rose fall in love more and more.

But the love will not last for long time because of the accident. Jack tries to spend Rose to a boat to escape the sinking cruise first but Rose keeps trying to be with Jack even if she knows she is in danger. In this scene, you can feel how Rose loves Jack and might be moved.

As the film successfully gets hit, ‘Titanic’ theme song, My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion, also becomes famous music and helps the audiences to be moved more. 

Those who have never tried this film before must watch it and I hope those who have watched before check this great movie again!!

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?
