Cloverfield Movie on DVD

Cloverfield MovieCloverfield Movie

Cloverfield is a 2008 monster/horror film produced by J. J. Abrams, directed by Matt Reeves, and written by Drew Goddard. Prior to the film's release, Paramount Pictures carried out a viral marketing campaign to promote the film. The campaign included viral tie-ins similar to the Lost Experience. The film follows five young New Yorkers who throw their friend a going-away party on the same night that a gigantic monster attacks the city.

Synopsis:

Director Matt Reeves and producer J. J. Abrams turn a mysterious monster loose in Manhattan in the disaster flick CLOVERFIELD. The movie begins at a party for Rob, who has accepted a promotion that will send him to Japan. Hud is entrusted with the responsibility of videotaping the party--and as the trouble grows, he holds on to the camera, recording everything that happens. In fact, the entire movie is seen through the lens of his camera, reminiscent of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT.


As terrified people in a post-9/11 New York City take to the streets, Rob decides to head uptown to try to save Beth, the woman he loves, though he's afraid to tell her so. Rob is joined by his brother Jason, Jason's girlfriend Lily, Lily's friend Marlena, and Hud, who has a thing for Marlena. Rob is determined not to give up, even after almost being crushed by the Statue of Liberty's head and as the military shows up to force evacuation of the city.


Reeves and first-time screenwriter Drew Goddard, who previously has written television episodes of such series as BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, ANGEL, ALIAS, and LOST, focus in on the central aspect of the story: people trying to survive the monster attack. Very little else is explained, since the story is told completely through the video camera. And there is no additional score to heighten the drama; the only music is that which is picked up by Hud and the camera's microphone, including snippets of songs by Kings of Leon, Parliament Funkadelic, Of Montreal, and others. The anticipation of CLOVERFIELD's release was enhanced by a viral marketing campaign that included Web sites built around the main characters and even the fictional drink Slusho.

I Am Legend

I Am Legend

I Am Legend is a 2007 post-apocalyptic science fiction horror film directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Will Smith. Smith plays virologist Robert Neville, who thinks he may be Earth's only human not affected by a man-made virus. He works to create a cure while living in a city inhabited by mutant victims of the plague. It is the third feature film adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 novel I Am Legend, following 1964's The Last Man on Earth and 1971's The Omega Man.via


Synopsis:

A virus is harnessed and used as a cure for cancer. Months later the recipients of the cure start to develop rabies-like symptoms as the virus mutates. Will Smith's character Robert Neville, and his dog Sam are survivors. Neville survives due to his immunity to both airborne and contact strains of the virus. As far as Neville knows, he is the only uninfected person in New York, and possibly the world.


He spends his time trying to make contact with other survivors, working on a cure to the virus using his blood. He kidnaps an infected Alpha female to try an antidote on. It fails, but he keeps her to continue his experiments. His dog is infected (dogs can only be infected by the contact strain) when Neville gets caught in a trap. He wants revenge but two survivors save him. The woman, Anna (Alice Braga) and the boy Ethan (Charlie Tahan) tell him about other survivors and a colony in Vermont. He doesn't believe them and starts to yell at her but he is interrupted by an attack by the Alphas.


Neville, Anna and Ethan make it to the basement laboratory where they see that the final experiment on the Alpha female was successful. He draws a vile of blood from the Alpha and gives it to Anna. The other Alphas have broken down the door and are smashing their way into the alcove to get at them. There is a small door at the back and Neville helps Anna and Ethan into the safe space. He pulls a grenade from the desk and pulls the pin. The Alphas break through to him just as the explosion rocks the building.


The final scene is Anna and Ethan driving through Vermont and arriving at the colony with the antidote. There is a narration that explains the Legend of Robert Neville and his hope for humanity.via

Another Night at the Museum now on DVD



Night at the Museum was a crappy movie but after making over $500 million worldwide, a sequel was always going to be on the cards. It looks like it might be sooner rather than later too as Dark Horizons are reporting that writers Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant are about to begin work on writing another ‘museum coming to life at night’ adventure.


The duo also wrote the original movie and since then they’ve seen their scripts Reno 911: Miami (they created the cable show too) and the upcoming Balls of Fury turned into feature films.


Both Ben Stiller and Robin Williams are both said to be signed up for a return also but not director Shawn Levy at this point.


Levy and the screenwriters struggled to flesh out enough idea’s to keep one Night at the Museum interesting (actually the script was so dumb they made the whole story develop over a couple of days rather than one night!) so a sequel seems like a mountain they might struggle to climb without re-doing the first movie all over again. Take your money from the first movie and run is what I say.

This movie was earned $560 million at the cinema during their first release.

Resident Evil: Extinction


Resident Evil: Extinction is a 2007 science fiction action horror film. It is a sequel to the 2004 film Resident Evil: Apocalypse and is the third installment of the series of film adaptations based on the popular Capcom survival horror game series Resident Evil. The film was directed by Russell Mulcahy and produced by Paul Anderson, and adapts several plot elements from Resident Evil: Code Veronica as well as features various characters and creatures from the game series. The film is a departure from the usually dark and drab locations of other zombie films as it takes place in a desert wilderness.


Synopsis:

Years after the Raccoon City disaster, Alice (MILLA JOVOVICH) is on her own; aware that she has become a liability and could endanger those around her, she is struggling to survive and bring down the Umbrella Corporation led by the sinister Albert Wesker (JASON O'MARA) and head researcher Dr. Isaacs (IAN GLEN).


Meanwhile, traveling through the Nevada Desert and the ruins of Las Vegas, Carlos Olivera (ODED FEHR), L.J. (MIKE EPPS), and new survivors K-Mart (SPENCER LOCKE), Claire Redfield(ALI LARTER), and Nurse Betty (ASHANTI) must fight to survive extinction against hordes of zombies, killer crows and the most terrifying creatures created as a result of the deadly T-Virus that has killed millions.
