 In the year 1951, Eddie Mannix played by Josh Brolin is the head of physical production at Capitol Pictures and also helps to keep the scandalous behavior of its stars out of the press. After swimming actress Dee Anna played by Scarlett Johansson gets pregnant he advises her to give up the baby for foster care and later adopting the baby without revealing her identity. He often has to fend off inquiries from Thora and Thessaly Thacker (both played by Tilda Swinton), twin sisters and rival gossip columnists.

The studio is in to production of its major blockbuster Hail, Caesar!, an epic set in ancient Rome and starring Baird Whitlock played by George Clooney. During production Whitlock is abducted after taking a drink drugged by one of the extras cast. A ransom note soon arrives, written by a group calling itself "The Future" demanding $100,000. Mannix arranges to get the money from the studio's Accounting Department, as "petty cash." Whitlock awakens in a beach house and finds his way into a meeting of The Future. The members, who introduce themselves as mostly writers in the motion picture industry, explain their doctrine to him and begin to win him over to their cause. 

Meanwhile, the only person Mannix tells about this is film star Hobie Doyle played by Alden Ehrenreich.

 Doyle is at a night club when he spots the briefcase containing the ransom money across the room, recognizing it as he had lent Mannix his belt to keep it closed. It is being carried by Burt Gurney played by Channing Tatum who is also a star of a sailor comedy film depicted earlier in an elaborate dancing scene.

Doyle follows Gurney to the beach house in but, after walking in the front door, finds only Whitlock inside. The rest of The Future's members have rowed a boat containing Gurney offshore so that he can join a soviet submarine and defect to Russia. Doyle takes Whitlock back to the studio just before the police arrive at the beach house to arrest the group.

Whitlock tries to explain his new-found Communist leanings to Mannix but he orders him to finish his role in Hail, Caesar!
DeeAnna marries Joseph Silverman played by Jonah hill, a surety agent who had agreed to take her baby into foster care.

In one sentence I would say,it is not as interesting as it may seem to be. Doesn't live up to expectation at all. However if you still feel compelled to see it,you can download it from mp4hd movies  here .  You can see the trailer below. Thanks

Michelle Yeoh as Yu Shu

After the death of Li Mu Bai, Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) returns to safeguard his sword, the Green Destiny.  The villian Hades Dai(Jason Scott Lee), sends his soldier  Wei fang(Harry Shum jnr) to steal the sword , but he is confronted by another martial artist snow vase(Natasha Liu) and then apprehended by Yu Shen. The need for skilled guards arises and a notice is placed, that is when Silent Wolf and four other martial artistes trained in the iron way sign up for this course. Wei fang finds out Hades Dai killed his real mother and takes it upon himself to end him after snow vase helps him escape.

Donnie Yen as Silent Wolf

Definitely an interesting movie to watch. Although it doesn't meet up with standards of the prequel shot in 2000 it still does an excellent job. Don't worry if you have not seen the first part you would still understand this one very well and find it a whole lot more interesting. I also like the fact that it was shot in English , stunt coordination was okay especially the scene on an ice floor.  The stunt coordination is not as good as chinese movies Kung fu jungle or The raid ( I love these two movies so much) you can check them out too.
I also feel they could have added more flesh to the movie,not bad if it is a 2 hr movie.

Snow vase and Wei fang fight side by side

 Well guys,you can check out the movie and watch, to see it in mobile you can download it on coolmoviez here. If you are not motivated yet you can see the trailer below.

This is the latest sequel of the Bourne franchise set to be released in July,2016. For those of us that saw the previous one Matt Damon didn't star in it according to reports due to director issues.

OPERATOR (2015): TRAILER AND REVIEW

A 911 operator receives a call threatening to kill her daughter unless she does as she is told. She is then told to dispatch officers to scenes of crimes that are staged when they get there but one of the officers is her husband. Unknowingly to her it is all distraction while a bank robbery is going on in ten branches. It takes a while before she figures out who the caller is but by then it is too late and she is already looking like the guilty one.

While this sounds like a good plot the movie just came out all wrong With poor acting or casting,poor directing and poor editing.
During the period of the whole movie there is no way other call operators wouldn't know what was going on. Also, the plot tells the story like there is only one operator available because the banks could have called the other operators who were many in number. The probability that her husband would be the one on dispatch,even the probability that she would be the operator to pick up the call.
The car chase where Jeremy the officer was going after his wife he didn't put into consideration the safety of his wife and daughter in both scenarios which is just wrong. The shoot out was poorly directed amongst other issues.
The movie was not entirely bad but it was not just very good. So if you have access to this you could watch it. See the trailer below.

DAREDEVIL SEASON 2 TRAILER

Now I know many of us saw the season 1 of this series and it was not particularly outstanding.

Boyka Undisputed IV(2016): TRAILER

Boyka is back

Boyka returns in the Undisputed sequel, the franchise has proven to be awesome over the years. The movie is set to be released later in 2016. From the trailer we see that its not the normal prison fights as we saw he gained his freedom in part 3 of the movie. He seems to be fighting because of a lady this time. I hope this one delivers on our expectations. See the trailer below

JARHEAD 3 THE SIEGE(2016): TRAILER AND REVIEW

Jarhead 3 cover photo

Jarhead 3: the seige directed by William Kaufman is a serious improvement from the previous sequel. This is entertaining and engaging.
Corporal Albright (Charlie Weber) is posted to duty at the American embassy in an unknown middle eastern city. His attitude
leads to friction with his boss Raines (Scott Adkins). Albright notices a suspicious camera crew outside the gates and suspects the embassy may be under surveillance but he is shut down by other offices because he is a rookie. A terrorist group attacks the embassy  beginning a siege on the civilians
and marines.
Among the civillians is a documentarian (Dante
Basco),a female staff and the ambassador. They call for back up and a team of special forces commandos depart to their rescue led by Major Lincoln (Dennis Haybert). But they can only get there within the hour so until then they have to hold and fight back. Sergeant Raines gets killed in the cross fire leaving Corporal Albright in charge of the team.
Jarhead 3 is a must watch action movie with a sense of humour from Dante Bosco which keeps it entertaining. Gunnery Raines played by Scott Adkins popular for his role as Boyka in Undisputed also did a good job as we see a different side of him that exists. Charlie Webber who took the lead role did an amazing job with his character and delivered as he should. Nice story,nice casting,nice acting and nice editing. Check out the trailer below.

GODS of EGYPT (2016) : Trailer and Review

 

Gerard Butler seems to be loving movies that are ancient with swords as he features in this movie GODS of EGYPT alongside Nikolaj Coster Waldau from Game of Thrones. God of the air Horus is about to be coronated king of Egypt when his uncle Set(Gerard Butler) comes and presents a horn as a gift and tells him to blow it. Little did he know it was a signal for his Uncle's army to come in. Set kills his brother the current King and challenges Horus to a fight and after a while of hand combat they both transfrom to some Marvel robot-like creatures which i wonder why they didn't do from the start. Set over-powers him with a little cheating and plucks out his eye which seems to possess power. Just as he is about to kill him Hathor the god of love pleads on his behalf to show mercy and spare his life. He is then cast away to a crypt and his eye is kept in a location with security mechanism worse than laser beams. Then Bek a mortal boy whose girlfriend believes so much in Horus goes on a quest to retrieve his eyes and return it to Horus but he unfortunately finds only one eye. In the process of his escape with his girlfriend she is shot by an arrow and she dies. Horus promises to bring her back if he helps him locate the other eye so he can save all of Egypt. Horus is quite aware that there is nothing he can do to bring her back but he says that to motivate Bek in having an alliance with him. They also get help from Hathor and Thoth the god of wisdom. In the end they defeat Set but Bek dies in the process. When Horus takes his body so he can lay it beside his girlfriend his father appears to him to ask for a wish. He asks that both Bek and his girlfriend be restored back to life and it is granted. Horus becomes the king of Egypt with Bek being his special adviser. 

While this may be an interesting plot some things are wrong with this movie, starting from the part where the casts do not look like Egyptians  with a lot of white faces as opposed to what ancient Egypt should look like.Although the director has apologized publicly.

Then the area of poor graphics which does not make the movie very real in an era where CGI graphics has taken over, the movie looks like it was shot years ago.

Also the god of wisdom didn't seem very wise to me as I can't exactly pin point one wise thing he did. Horus played by Nikolaj Coster Waldau didn't portray his role with so much energy as if to say he was bored by it and Bek did most of the work seeming like a god himself and being the main attraction of the movie. I also did not quite grasp the concept of "immortals" dying. I mean immortals don't die right?
However,the movie did deliver on being engaging for most of the run time and displays the love side as well as the action with a nice plot.

If you enjoyed movies like clash of the titans then you would probably find this movie fun. Here is the trailer below. Enjoy.

50 SHADES OF BLACK(2016): TRAILER AND REVIEW

 

This movie is a complete mockery of fifty shades of grey,not that I am a fan of that either. 50 shades of black which is supposed to be comedy and a spoof of the original movie turns out to be absolute stupidity. The plot follows same as 50 shades of grey but in this case Christian Black. Most of the scenes were repeated in a way that's just annoying and so many offensive conversations, from racist talk to sexist and so on. The movie fails to deliver on both comedy or romance. It's just an epic failure,its so bad they have a rating of 7% on rotten tomatoes. I guess Malon Wayans days are long gone because his role in haunted house was nothing to write home about also. I beg you,do not for any reason see this movie.If they had taken it a little bit more serious perhaps it would have been a nice movie. If you disagree with me share your thoughts in the comments section. Thank you. Well see the trailer below.

6 Ways to Die(2015): Trailer and Review

There are so many reasons why this movie is a failure. From weak acting to weak script to poor casting. This movie just falls short of expectations.
The movie tells a story about John doe(used to describe one who is anonymous or unknown) played by Vinnie Jones who wants to take revenge on Sonny Garcia who according to him took everything from him. He hires six people to take away his love,freedom,money,reputation and eventually his life. It turns out John Doe is actually Sonny Garcia disguised. Unfortunately this twist leaves viewers more of confused than thrilled. The issue of disorganized timeline of continuous 1 week earlier leaves viewers with the thought of when exactly is this happening. There were some certain dumb actions in this movie that leaves you thinking who is the director (Nadeem Soumah). Imagine an assassin with a big rifle instead something more concealable like a pistol in broad day light and as if that's not bad enough he cocks it after he leaves the car. Then a police officer sees him and tries to stop him but the victim shoots the police officer first instead of the assassin,who does that? The security detail of Sonny acted as though they have no experience what so ever,making the assassination look stupid. We see a crowd in a club watch as he is shot three times and they still stand there. Well it was supposed to be a good revenge story but poorly executed. See pictures and trailer after the cut.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle 2(2016): Trailer

This second part of the teenage mutant ninja turtle is titled out of the shadows, like the name implies they are no longer in hiding. This movie is set to be released in June,2016. Many of us enjoyed the part one,at least I personally did,let's hope this one delivers much more. See the trailer below.

X-MEN APOCALYPSE(2016) :TRAILER

X-men has no doubt been one of the sucesfull movie franchise. This latest sequel is titled apocalypse and to be released May,2016. Now I don't know about you but I am very sure i don't want to miss this when it comes out. There are a lot of things we can see from the trailer, we see professor Xavier is now bald,I have always wondered the correlation from his looks in first class and days of future past. The apocalypse who is the first mutant ever from ancient Egypt can control all mutants,the X-men seem to be in a lot of trouble with that. Jean Grey seems to be having sleepless nights as she sees visions of the apocalypse before his arrival but Xavier tries to calm her down . Our lovely storm will not be played by the sexy Halle Berry,well this is because they are still in the 80's according to the story. We can also see mystique fighting on the Xavier side. We are not exactly sure if wolverine will be in this movie. Enough of my talk,see the trailer below. Enjoy!!!

JUNGLE BOOK(2016): TRAILER

So here is another 2016 movie we are expecting to see this year,Jungle Book. This is set to be released in April,2016. This motion picture was postponed from last year to this year by Walt Disney pictures. Many of us are familiar with this story as kids,seems the jungle thing is working, reminds me of George of the jungle. Take a look at the trailer below.

LEGEND OF TARZAN(2016): TRAILER

Legend of Tarzan coming soon

The movie which is set to be released in July, 2016 and directed by David Yates also starring some big Hollywood faces which includes Samuel L Jackson,Djimon Hounsou,Christoph Waltz and Margot Robbie. The movie looks like fun to watch and with this much faces in the movie it should be able to deliver. Here is the trailer below as I will also be bringing you more 2016 movies to be released later this year in coming posts. Stay tuned!!

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (Trailer)

 

This movie was released January,2016 and directed by Micheal Bay. This real life war film told the story of six soldiers who fought in Benghazi,Libya to protect the American diplomatic house trying to save 36 American citizens. Despite the clear orders from the local CIA chief to stand down these men fought for what they believed was right. Reminds me of Lone survivor by Mark Wahlberg. I wonder if American Soldiers don't get charged for mutiny, the rate at which their movies portray the Soldiers making their own call. Well its in a positive way. There is nothing really to criticize since survivors of the incident claim the movie actually portrays the events that happened. So sit back and enjoy the trailer

HEIST (2015): Trailer and Review

This is an interesting heist thriller, but the more interesting part is the twists towards the end. A man requires 300,000 dollars for his daughter's medical fee unless they remove her from support and she could die. He meets his boss pope played by Robert de niro but he doesn't give him the money. He meets a bouncer in the same casino they work in who suggests they rob the casino instead. This bouncer cox played by David Bautisita brings in two of his friends in on the heist. But the heist goes south as the boss pope is on their tail and also the FBI. Vaughn needs to get the money to his daughter by 6 pm or else she doesn't make it for the surgery but he is still on the run. 

Other than the variables involved such as Vaughn knowing the bus would pass at  that particular time or that the get away driver would abandon them. Or that they would let the pregnant woman go or that the snipers didn't shoot or that they were able to over power the SWAT team, the movie was nice. 

The expression when Vaughn found out the FBI agent was in pope's pocket was rather stupid, the fact that you received a phone call from pope through his phone says it all. Well, i think i have provided enough spoilers for those who haven't seen the movie. Check out the trailer below.

The Shannara Chronicles(Series): Trailer

 

So last week i mentioned the series Lucifer, you can check here to read on that and watch the trailer. This week I am introducing The Shannara Chronicles. I have heard how interesting the series is but didn't want to mention until i saw it for myself. If you are the kind that loves magic, and magical creatures like the troll, gnomes etc. then this is the movie for you. The movie features Crixus (Manu Bennet) from Spartacus, I must say i love his action. Would love to sit back and narrate this lovely movie to you but i think the trailer covers that pretty much. Continue below to see the trailer. Tell us what you think
