The Best Event Video: Avatar vs The Hurt Locker

Posted on 13 March 2010

All night long directors of both films kept their breath waiting for the results. Somebody was satisfied, while others were definitely not. Avatar of James Cameron won in three categories, and The Hurt Locker took six of them. No doubt, The Hurt Locker is a good and quality film about war, but its victory seems a bit strange.
Some critics suggested their point of view about the issue. Here I have some general factors that might have influenced this year’s results:
•    Social message. People prefer dramas to sci-fi stories. The thing is life stories are closer and more familiar to them than an unknown and fictional world of Pandora. The Americans tend to cheer for the U.S. success war operations in The Hurt Locker rather than watch their defeat in Avatar.
•    Age. The majority of viewers are senior. They have got used to movies that are standard. How can they appreciate the miracle of 3D? Besides, not a single sci-fi film has resulted the best according to the Academy.
•    Completely New. Avatar was a shock for most people who have not seen anything like this in their life. There were several similar precedents in Academy history. Innovations, 3D, new technique – that is not for Oscar.
•    Personal Affection. We could see during the event that voters are inclined to obey blindly their feelings. They have an idol and follow his each step exclaiming how perfect he or she is. And no matter what in reality is. The same happened on the red carpet this year. Just remember the cases of Meryl Strip or George Clooney. And James Cameron, on the contrary, was creamed. What should we love him for?
Well, for this or that reason the best film of these days was beaten by a standard one. Is it fair?

Blockbuster Video New Release: Shutter Island

Posted on 22 February 2010

The industry of filmmaking does not stop surprising fans of good movie by a great number of new releases lately. One of the latest ones presented in Blockbuster rental stores is Shutter Island.
The film Shutter Island was released in February, 2010. The plot is based on the novel of the same name written by Dennis Lehane. The work on the film began in March, 2008 and finished at the end of 2009. At first, the movie was supposed to be released earlier, but the work took longer than expected. Shutter Island is directed by a world famous director Martin Scorsese.
The story goes about Chuck Aule and Teddy Daniels (played by Mark Ruffalo and Leonardo DiCaprio respectively) who team up to find a criminally insane patient who has escaped to an island off the coasts of Massachusetts where he was kept. During their investigation they face a web of lies and deceptions, and even nature happenings. In the end the things turn upside down when it becomes clear that Teddy is also a mental patient kept in the hospital for several years because of killing his wife. A so called investigation was nothing more than a role play invented by doctors so as to help him live out delusional fantasy and return to the reality.

The first night of the Shutter Island took place as a part of the 60th Berlin International Film Festival on 13th February, 2010. The film critics spot aesthetic taste and intellectual plot. The film appeals the audience by exciting puzzles but does not involve emotionally. Actually, there are diverse opinions on the Shutter Island, but anyway the overwhelming majority of them are positive.
About other novelties in the world of filmmaking you will find out in New Movie Rentals at BlockBuster Video. Have a good time!

But who knows at least five superheroines from TV series, movies, cartoons, comics and so on. Here I have the description of five superheroines whose presence in a movie or a cartoon was a sensation.

Alive is a security operative who works for the Umbrella Corp. She suffers from amnesia in the first part of Resident Evil. Then from series to series the situation around her is getting clear. Alice is portrayed as a tough and rugged girl.
•    The next character is Chun-Li presented in a popular Chinese video game Street Fighter. Her name can be translated as “beautiful spring”. Chun-Li is an undercover Interpol agent who fights for good.
•    The third finctional character was created for popular TV series Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. Her name is Faith Lehane. The girls sas supernatural abilities and fights with such evil beings as vampires. The superheroine Faith Lehane was portrayed by Eliza Dushku. The story became so popular that a new comic book started developing the plot.
•    And one more time the character performed by Milla Jovovich from The Fifth Element movie. I think no comments are necessary – the film is known to anyone. A bold ginger is definitely the best.
•    And the last but not the least superheroine is Niobe from the Matrix: Reloaded and The Matrix: Revolutions. The character of Niobe is played by Jada Pinkett Smith.
