The Damned is a movie with certain possessive haunter. The story begins with an American (Facinelli), widowed from his Colombia-born wife, who flies to Bogota with his new fiancée (Myles) to retrieve his rebellious teenage daughter Jill (Ramos). After a car accident leaves them stranded in a rundown isolated inn, they discover the old innkeeper has locked a young girl in the basement and their decision to set her free has unintended consequences. Even the plot and sequences of each scene is very predictable, it has many elements so visually is sickening and scared and the characters can’t go anywhere without being haunted, kidnapped, lost, or attacked. The purpose of scares is very well structured with some dialogues that are helped with an old spooky house. Definitely the cast is really talented where Nathalia Ramos is a part of it. She’s an amazing actress and Peter Facinelli is a great actor as well and the spectator will enjoy it during August in many movie theaters in USA.

A well structure film comes with special needs actors with the other cast members and music is part of the story. It is a simple love story: girl meets boy, girl likes boy, girl kisses boy but this girl has some disabilities. Like all young women, Gabrielle wants her independence, but of course her situation is exceptional. When she falls in love with a similarly challenged young man in her choir, she discovers that both the families and the social workers are alarmed. What would be her destination and how would you solve it in a situation like this? Definitely is a high quality French-Canadian film which makes it original, with great actors and script of a reality as society cannot deny and Gabrielle must still confront other people’s prejudices as well as her own limitations in the hope of experiencing a love far from the “ordinary”. From the Director Louise Archambault and a great cast Gabrielle Marion-Rivard, Alexandre Landry, Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin. This movie makes you to think and appreciate the important things you have in life. It’s highly recommended and you can see it in your favorite movie theaters from July 4th in LA.

Written & Directed by Gareth Evans, The Raid 2 with a great cast Iko Uwais, Arifin Putra, Tio Pakusadewo, Oka Antara, Julie Estelle, Ryuhei Matsuda, Kenichi Endo, Kazuki Kitamura involves a fury fighting with Rama and his way out of a building filled with gangsters and madmen – a fight that left the bodies of police and gangsters alike piled in the halls – rookie Jakarta cop Rama thought it was done and he could resume a normal life. He couldn’t have been more wrong.
A great sequel of action and a new odyssey of violence, bone-crunching force him to set aside his own life and history and take on a new identity as the violent offender “Yuda.” In prison he must gain the confidence of Uco – the son of a prominent gang kingpin – to join the gang himself, laying his own life on the line in a desperate all-or-nothing gambit to bring the whole rotten enterprise to an end. For all fight fans should brace themselves for a bruising, blistering ride even the plot is not the best the main characters show their best fighting skills faster, and more lethal than ever. The most curious characters were the Hammer Girl and Baseball Bat Man deserve a spin-off especially with their fights that are full of dynamite but at the end this movie has to contrasts: a beauty in a modern martial-arts epic and brutality, capturing the art of violence with a great style in all the characters involved. Definitely is an awesome movie full of entertainment and fun which suffers from too much potential. Now is available July 8th on Blu-ray, DVD and digital HD in 150 minutes full of action, bloody sequences with tons of deleted scenes with the original version with the best choreography scenes of some of the violent scenes. Even is rated R , this movie has intensive English Language Dolby Digital, Spanish Dolby surround and subtitles in English and Spanish.

This is Not a Ball is a documentary that follows the creative process of acclaimed Brazilian artist Vik Muniz in the months leading up to the 2014 World Cup as he plans and creates a major new artwork made of 10,000 soccer balls.
The documentary follows Muniz as he explores the global passion for soccer and the game’s central object, the ball. In his journey, Muniz interacts with some of the most playful minds in science, like astrophysicist Neil deGrass Tyson and some of the most extraordinary soccer players in the world, like the Sierra Leone Amputee Soccer League. While the beginning of the film is promising enough, it seems that problems arise when Muniz forcefully attempts to inject himself as a key player. The journey, an exploration of the passion for soccer that evolves into a history of the ball (a sort of film version of the anthropologist John Fox’s 2012 book, “The Ball”) but in general is stronger than ever even you will see poverty, the oppression, and the daily life difficulties, at the end of the day the passion for the soccer is a tradition handed down over generations. Definitely you will distinguish a story full of adventures in organization and production that involves a Soccer ball, team and soccer aficionados.

A typical romantic comedy comes with About Last Night and its contemporary version closely follows new love for two couples as they journey from the bar to the bedroom and are eventually put to the test in the real world. From the director Steve Pink his movie does an awesome job depicting the realities of relationships. Kenvin Hart is so funny and talented. However the crux of the movie centers on the relationship between Michael Ealy and Joy Bryant and it will get you thinking and talking about your relationship if you are in one (the stages you have been in and will go through). The plot is really entertaining and the director did a nice job directing.
Now you can have this great movie in Blu-ray and DVD enjoying hookups and breakups in a funniest manner with special features such as high definition, audio in English, French, Spanish and subtitles with the same languages.

Pompe II has passion for history and was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, an adept handler of eye-popping 3D spectacle now is available in Blu-ray, DVD including a talented cast and characters and “The Volcanic Eruption-Special Effects.” The film travels back in time to 79 AD. It revolves around Pompeii, an outlying Roman metropolis that is found at the bottom of Mt Vesuvius — a volcanic mountain.
A young boy called Milo (Kit Harington of Game of Thrones) witnesses the slaughter of his tribe at the hands of Roman soldiers, led by Roman commander Corvus (Kiefer Sutherland). Thus, Milo becomes the sole survivor of a Celtic horse tribe. He is then raised as a slave, and 17 years later, becomes a gladiator who is taken to Pompeii to battle Atticus (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), an African gladiator who is one fight away from earning his freedom.
A movie full of violence and tragedy bit this makes it more realistic and highly entertaining, never boring. Milo and Atticus take on a battalion of Roman soldiers and both are involved in destruction of the place. Interaction between the characters was fine given the length of time between the start of the movie and the eruption of Pompeii. The acting of the cast was well done. The 3-D effect had you brushing volcanic ash out of your hair and the film, it is definitely worth the watch.

He couldn’t have been more wrong.
Rama’s opponents in that fateful building were nothing more than small fish swimming in a pond much larger than he ever dreamed possible. And his triumph over the small fry has attracted the attention of the predators farther up the food chain. His family at risk, Rama has only one choice to protect his infant son and wife: He must go undercover to enter the criminal underworld himself and climb through the hierarchy of competing forces until it leads him to the corrupt politicians and police pulling the strings at the top of the heap.
