Review:

Imagine what life is like in one day. That is what this film does through the submissions of people from around the world, all on June 24th, 2010. Produced by Ridley Scott and directed by Kevin McDonald, this project, in cooperation with YouTube and National Geographic sets out to document 24 hours on our shining blue planet. 80,000 submissions were sent in from all areas of the globe. They even gave cameras to people who didn’t even have such technologies so that they could be included in this tribute. And in the end, they looked at 4,500 hours of video and selected 350 portions of those for just over 90 minutes of on screen film. It was quite a feat just narrowing it down. Read more…

Review:

The little blue guys (and a girl) with the white beanies are back in this “Enchanted” mixed with “Alvin and the Chipmunks”. The Smurfs are sent through a magical portal while trying to escape from Gargamel (Hank Azaria) and wind up in the real world, New York City to be exact, where they are completely lost, but know one thing. Their enemy and his cat Azrael are hot on their trail. Fortunately, they wind up in a box belonging to Patrick (Neil Patrick Harris) and his wife (Jayma Mays). Now they must get home before the blue moon when they can open a portal back to their world, a portal that Gargamel realizes comes from their blue magic. Read more…

Review:

In this classic western meets War of the Worlds, Jake Lonergan (Daniel Craig) wakes near an Arizona town in the late 19th century with a futuristic gadget around his wrist and no idea who he is or how he got there. His identity doesn’t escape him for long. His appearance in town reminds him that he is a wanted criminal, one that is on the run. And he’s already being hunted by Colonel Dolarhyde who is glad to find his bounty. But before the arrest can be made, an alien ship comes to destroy the town. The device on Lonergan’s arm is a weapon that they discover can stop these creatures, which soon flock to the area. Dolarhyde isn’t happy about it, not that you can tell, but works with his captive to save the Earth from the invasion, along with a few of the town’s folk. This includes Doc the Bartender (Sam Rockwell) who winds up being the superhero sidekick and comic relief, Ella (Olivia Wilde) who is the lovely companion, a preacher (Clancy Brown) and a lad (Noah Ringer).
