Fred (Colm Meaney) lives a quiet and isolated life in his car, having lost all hope of improving his situation and re-entering the ranks of society. That all changes when he forms an unlikely friendship with Cathal (Colin Morgan), a dope-smoking 21-year-old with a positive attitude, who becomes his parking lot neighbor. Sharing laughs, and the hard times too, Fred and Cathal find the simple, free pleasures of life.
The screenplay merely hints at everyone’s backstory, but instead of coming off as mysteriously ambiguous but has comedy, melodrama and crime-thriller. Living on the margins is tough but Fred manages to retain its characters’ humanity. The only thing that missed in this movie is a bit of details about both the character’s past life. However, it is a genuinely touching film, both funny and sad moments.

ATM will be your last transaction

It’s release on April 6, 2012 (Limited U.S. Theatrical) and the Screenwriter Chris Sparling (who wrote the screenplay of Buried) is back with a new thriller titled ATM. Much like the Buried concept, the movie ATM will primarily take place in one location, you nail it, in the vestibule of an Automated Teller Machine. The story centers on three co-workers who, on a routine stop at an ATM, unexpectedly end up in a desperate fight for their lives. Director David Brooks will helm the project. The cast includes Brian Geraghty, Josh Peck and Margarita Levieva.
The beginning is good and full of desperation with a splash of “Panic Room”. The performances were generally solid, the atmosphere was tense and the killer was relatively menacing. The characters are likable enough, some moments are pretty tense, and overall it’s decently constructed. However, you can be a little bit disappointed and frustrating at first, before it is remembered that most people are really like this. Hints of reality are much more horrifying than pure fiction. At the end, it has a psychological point of view and the main message is if you want to make any transaction in an Automated Teller Machine never park a mile away from the ATM despite it being the middle of the night in an empty parking lot because you will be in risk!

The friendship between a boy and a horse who are separated but whose fates continue to be intertwined over the course of World War I. Starring: Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson, David Thewlis, Tom Hiddleston and the Director was Steven Spielberg. This movie has the most beautiful landscapes and natural places and comes in 4 Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, Digital and On Demand, April 3rd. It has a good message about friendship, loyalty among all children and animals. All the camera shootings have good rhythm and photography, especially when Joey (a smart horse) has a miracle journey but is a sad and dark when all animals are involved in wars suffer a lot. There is also abuse and pain that suffer each of these horses during their battles. It is an awesome movie full of drama with deep sense of love and friendship. “War Horse” definitely will make you shake with emotion.
Mirror Mirror, steals the spotlight away from the hero

One of the most beloved stories of all time is coming on March 30th for the whole family, Mirror Mirror. A fresh and funny retelling of the Snow White legend, Mirror Mirror features breakout star Lily Collins (The Blind Side) as Snow White, a princess in exile, and Oscar®-winner Julia Roberts as the evil Queen who ruthlessly rules her captured kingdom. Seven courageous rebel dwarfs join forces with Snow White as she fights to reclaim her birthright and win her Prince in this magical comedy filled with jealousy, romance, and betrayal that will capture the hearts and imaginations of audiences the world over. The film also stars Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as the Prince, and Nathan Lane (The Birdcage) as the hapless and bungling servant to the Queen.
The Queen in this new version of the classic Snow White story. The script -credited to Marc Klein and Jason Keller -delivers a merry kid-level corrective to Disney, and while parents will have been there and done that, the verbal wit and Tarsem’s visual invention make “Mirror Mirror” entirely tolerable. Even so, if you are willing to overcome your disbelief in the end, the greater part of this movie is not half as bad. Especially because the story appears to have been scripted with a lot of focus on Julia’s character. It’s almost as if this version was written by the evil queen herself.
The new gossip girl in Damsels in Distress

Whit Stillman’s Damsels in Distress is a comedy about a trio of beautiful girls as they set out to revolutionize life at a grungy American university – the dynamic leader Violet Wister (Greta Gerwig), principled Rose (Megalyn Echikunwoke) and sexy Heather (Carrie MacLemore) and is open to the theaters in April 6th. They welcome transfer student Lily (Analeigh Tipton) into their group which seeks to help severely depressed students. Although is a hilarious and bizarre movie it has some break out actors Charlie (Adam Brody), dreamboat Xavier (Hugo Becker) and the mad frat pack of Frank (Ryan Metcalf) and Thor (Billy Magnussen). In some parts of the plot some actors look bored out of their minds and is a little bit disappointing that these people do not exist in real life and I really wish it. They pass the time engaged in empathetic student outreach activity which seems only to serve their own inflated sense of moral superiority. For example, the girls are seen alternating shifts at the campus Suicide Prevention Center where they expend more energies looking down their navels and policing the centre’s free donuts than, you know, preventing suicide.
It’s easy to forgive a movie its flaws when it makes the argument that trying to be an individual and unique is just a monstrous pain when the main character distinctions here are that of naïveté and conscious hypocrisy rather than the self-serving venom of Stillman’s earlier works, which suggests that his perception of modern superficiality is masked by liberal pretence and genuine ignorance. Honestly, I guess as a viewer, I would like to see another movie in which I don’t have to waste my time in fake aristocratic females but for some it reflects the innocence deserted in a teen movie like this.
The Hunger Games are addictive

The Hunger Games tells the dark tale of a 16-year-old girl named Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), who is selected to compete in a vicious televised tournament in which 24 teenagers from a post-apocalyptic society fight to the death for the entertainment of the masses. In the future, North America is no more. In its place has risen Panem, a divided nation split into 12 districts. Every year, each district selects a teen of each gender (called “Tributes”) to test their worth in a competition known as the Hunger Games, which are broadcast across the nation as entertainment, and to reinforce the government’s total power. When her younger sister is selected as District 12’s latest “Tribute,” Katniss volunteers to take her place, and trains under hard-drinking former Hunger Games champion Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson) to sharpen her killer instincts. Now in order to survive the game and emerge the victor, this young combatant must put all of her skills to the ultimate test.
GalaTView talked to Amanda Stenberg (Rue) and said: “Jennifer is extremely funny, in every time that we take together laughing, Jen and I were doing the same things acting. Sometimes, I had to play on some scenes and these ones had to be explained them to me mainly in some scenes were I was extremely scared because I was involved in a kind of games so It become something that I really got each scene after all.”
Alexander Ludwig (Cato): “I jumped up to my opportunity just because I had this chance to play this guy. It was really wanted to experience the dark side so I had to twist individually. I wanted cared about physical presents in a mental movie and there was a lot fight training where you can go through so I have been working with a navy seal and tons of hang calls back like a club.”
Lenny Kravitz (Cinna):”I have been in rock actually but I didn’t know about the book so I had to read it but the crew call me back very quickly after see this classic epic story, I hated at the beginning for the classic way but I loved for the costumes and messages at the same time. I’m so satisfied to do a great project with everybody who was cool and nice, no divas no drama, real actors and everyday was hugging and saying hi to each other and we had so much fun. So is not a goodbye in a certain point.”
