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!
Hysteria in the Victorian Era

Hysteria is a romantic comedy with an accomplished cast led by Maggie Gyllenhaal, Hugh Dancy, Jonathan Pryce, Felicity Jones and Rupert Everett, that tells an untold tale of discovery – the surprising story of the birth of the electro-mechanical vibrator at the very peak of Victorian prudishness. It has a intriguing story plot even some dialogues are quite bored, their language is really elegant. Some kind of mockumentary on the real history of the vibrator but reveals the real sexual liberation as well so the main question is what is the main responsibility about medicine, hysteria, sexuality with the first electric vibrating massager? Then the main subject is something rarely discusses in public especially in London, 1880. The comedic pacing is refreshing, tasteful and impressive with Dalrymple, mainly with her socialist ideas but a big heart for keeping a community project. Hysteria was really well played and developed in each character so Tanya Wexler made a fun movie.

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 "Bully" Movie Controversy
The movie “Bully” is a documentary that focuses on children bullying one another. It is a film to raise awareness on the issue and show the perspective of being the victim. The F-word is heard in the film and some movie critics say the film should be rated-R, because of use of the foul language. But, if the film is rated-R, then this would not allow kids to see the film. Especially it is made to target these middle school and high school students. The movie company wants to “bleep” out the F-words to make it rated-PG 13, allowing kids to go see the film without a parental guardian. However, the producers prefer to keep the F-words to make a stronger impact on the viewers. F-word or no F-word we can all agree that “Bullying” is not Fun.

GalaTView talked to Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss): “My career sees a pattern and I don’t know what else to do. My character was already in my mind and nobody has seen her before so most people already had created pictures and idea of what your character is. When I read and how understood her in my perception about my understanding what I’m preparing her in the movie. My defense is like Justin Timberlake sings, one girls was painted but it was never on me and the guys over signed me and I said in between and Liam and Josh started to say something in Australian accent because somebody passed out and where I was barely have a chance to pronounce my name. I had training in running, triathlon, art climb, combat and yoga. Mentally I had many dreams about 100% were involved and I like to stay in a good shape doing something mainly with cardio exercises. At the top on my characters’ dialog has been described in the book but even you read it is different. Our director was genius when we filmed in an open area because is harder doing in a studio. The adapters of this film were amazing and sometimes I had some complications in my emotions in the cameras but I could solve them because we always trusted on the director.”
Josh Hutcherson (Peeta):“I think that Peeta is more unspoken intention we had whipping and shoot each other and it was an awesome experience and technically and physically, I had to prepare myself in a good way with fiber, protein and the training of each other. For some dialogues in the book do not the same it has popular understand so the audience will notice some changes. In some scenes most of us took very serious some instructions about film. When you are hearing games you can make jokes but not we were more serious, especially when he becomes skillful in hiking and had love in the story so that was a good motivation. So I had to understand his kindness through his mother and find a way ho was going to work out in the movie in the exposition of the dialog.”
