Sucker Punch

Looks are not everything. Example: Sucker Punch, a dazzling visual design that will not have the ear every time he opens his mouth dumb or makes the claims of depth. Zack Snyder, who led the guardians, 300, the legend of animation of the guardians: the OWL Ga'Hoole and a better decent restart of Dawn of the Dead, flounder evil in this action-fantasy on babes in bondage. Script Snyder, written with Steve Shibuya, is a recipe for a torrid hellzapoppin rated R' that pussies in this PG-13 security zone.
Peter Travers reviews Sucker Punch in his weekly video series, "at the movies with Peter Travers"
The film, original first Snyder, comes offshore a tease that police on its premise of poor quality but kinky. Take Babydoll, protagonist put-upon film, played with a perpetual pout and undies black by Emily Browning. Snyder Babydoll outfits in gear fetish, but supplies no Browning character to play. Just surface. The time is the 1960s. The place is insane asylum of Lennox House, where Babydoll - shaken by the death of his mother - is sent by her stepfather when she rebuffs his advances slobbering. Did I mention that Eurythmics "sweet dreams (Are made of This)" plays with poor sledgehammer Babydoll irony is used and abused? He did so.

In the loony bin, Babydoll is tortured by blue (Oscar Isaac him portrayed as a personified rictus) with the help of Mrs. Gorski (Carla Gugino), a Professor of dance with a scandalous focus and stilettos to mark his personality. At night, blue contributes to the High Roller (Jon Hamm, fire your agent) transform Lennox in a brothel where Babydoll may sale-dance for the delight of male creeps.

What is Babydoll do? Liaison with other girls like her, of course. There is brunette Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens miles of High School Musical), sassy Rocket (Jena Malone), reliable Amber (Jamie Chung) protection and Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish, a fine actress he touches). Real girls or unbridled imagination of Babydoll? Believe me, you keep. After they make Rockette unnecessary dance numbers and natter as releases of Sex and the City.

The five fantastic defeating their male exploiters? No, but they fantasize about it. At the first sign of nudity, easy censor the camera cuts to dream scenes of girls in Warrior made drag goes medieval on the donkeys of giant snakes, Samurai with Gatling guns and the orcs that serve as dragons ("" not awake mother""). Scott Glenn plays the wise to help turned to the battle. I'm not this. Snyder was leaving shy inconsistency of the ravages of the head to ours. Talk about a film derived from punch. Only a sucker would buy it.

Take Me Home Tonight

What you say about a film coming of age established in 1988, shot in 2007 and released just now? I mean, besides the WTF? To begin, I would like to say that Take Me Home Tonight just enough heart and mind of retro party to hold the line before the familiarity breeds contempt.

Peter Travers reviews Take Me Home Tonight in his weekly video series, "At the Movies with Peter Travers."

Producer-star Topher Grace, moving from a decade of this show of the 1970s, plays Matt Franklin, a grad MIT working at Suncoast video all decide what to do with his life. The decision? Party hearty. In a Mercedes stolen by his pal Barry (Dan Fogler), Matt hits a blowout of the labour day filled with blow (drug use delayed the release of the r-rated film). He was invited by school secondary unrequited crush Tori Frederking (Teresa Palmer), now an investment banker, who is impressed when Matt is that it is rising stars at Goldman Sachs.

The film, directed by Michael Dowse, is a night noisy, a torrid, American Graffiti filtered by Dazed and Confused and films Shermer high part of John Hughes. For spices, add Anna Faris as Matt binoculars in a relationship with Chris Pratt as the tonnage of jock ready to put on a ring. Matt finally boinks "The Frederking," Barry slobbers on ta-tas of a redhead with his date to watch, coke is snorted, property is damaged, and the soundtrack of the movie explosions Eighties covers ("Don ' T You Want Me"). Take Me Home Tonight captures a moment in time with sly affection. You keep waiting for the engine to rev up, but is not blocked on the idle.

The adjustment Bureau

Beware of men in hats, including John Slattery in a fedora Mad Men. They may be the personification of fate. Hats gives them the hoodoo you prevent from running with your babe of choice. At least this is what is happening to David Norris (Matt Damon), the Member of the Congress of bad boy who met the Ballerina Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt) at night it concedes defeat in her New York Senate run. His love, but fate conspires to keep them apart until David is his own hat and begins to allegorical kicked ass.
Peter Travers reviews the adjustment Bureau in his weekly video series, "At the Movies with Peter Travers."
Welcome to the Office of the adjustment, freely and loosely adapted from 1954 short story Philip k. Dick fit team by screenwriter George Nolfi (The Bourne Ultimatum, twelve Ocean) in his directing debut. Writing science fiction by Dick has led to several fine films, including Blade Runner and Minority Report. But the adjustment Bureau misses by a mile. Despite heroic efforts by Damon and beautiful Blunt to construct a plausible love story, the film dissolves in stupidity. That Dick has made powerful, Nolfi makes it absurd.
