BATMAN BEGINS NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE BATMAN BEGINS FROM IMDB

In tone with the early "Batman: Year One" style comics. As a boy a young Bruce Wayne watched in horror as his millionaire parents were slain in front of his eyes, a trauma which led him to become obsessed with revenge but his chance is cruelly taken away from him by fate. After disappearing to the East where he seeks counsel with the dangerous but honorable ninja cult leader known as Ra's Al-Ghul, he returns to his now decaying Gotham City overrun by organized crime and dangerous individuals manipulating the system whilst the company he inherited is slowly being pulled out from under him. The discovery of a cave under his mansion, and a prototype armored suit leads him to take on a new persona, one which will strike fear into the hearts of men who do wrong - he becomes, Batman. In the new guise, and with the help of rising cop Jim Gordon, Batman sets out to take down the various nefarious schemes in motion by individuals such as mafia don Falcone, the twisted doctor/drug dealer Jonathan 'The Scarecrow' Crane, and a mysterious third party that is quite familiar with Wayne and waiting to strike when the time is right. Written by Dark Horizons

When fate prevents him from avenging the deaths of his parents, young Bruce Wayne (Bale) flees to Asia where he seeks counsel from a dangerous ninja cult leader known as Ra's al Ghul (Watanabe). When he returns, Bruce finds that Gotham City has become overrun with crime and corruption, and that there are forces at work trying to remove him from his inherited place as the owner of Wayne Industries. Discovering a cave under Wayne Manor, Bruce assumes a new identity as a secret detective and guardian of the people of Gotham City against the criminals that plague them... Written by Austin4577@aol.com

Batman Begins explores the origins of the Batman legend and the Dark Knight's emergence as a force for good in Gotham. In the wake of his parents' murder, disillusioned industrial heir Bruce Wayne travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. He returns to Gotham and unveils his alter-ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect and an array of high tech deceptions to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city.

The Movie
The first of the Batman films to truly explore what makes a man with everything risk it all to fight crime, Batman Begins is the only Batman film to try and base the superhero in reality. Because of that, it works better than all the rest, even Batman, which to this point had been the standard-bearer for the character. In many ways, it's a companion piece to Spider-Man, which is the lighter version of the "real" superhero film. (X-Men, though an excellent comic-book film, doesn't match these two in terms of pure filmmaking.)

This movie tells the story of how Bruce Wayne became Batman and how Batman became a hero. Along the way, he trains Jedi-style with the mysterious Ducard (Liam Neeson), finds himself an ally in a friend of his father's, Lucius (Morgan Freeman), battles for control of his family's company, and deals with a childhood friend (Katie Holmes) who doesn't agree with his life choices. But despite these sidebars, in the end, it's a story about the maturation of a man. Starting with the character's origin and moving forward into how he became the hero he is known as, the movie tells stories about Batman that haven't been given such time before, and as a result, the film tells a fuller tale of Batman, making him more than an icon or a cartoon. In this film, Batman is a man first.

The key to such films is not focusing on the costume, and instead on the man who wears it. It doesn't hurt when the man who wears it is an actor of Christian Bale's abilities. While I felt Val Kilmer was an excellent Bruce Wayne, and Keaton a fine Batman, Bale combines the two halves of the role, and instills them with a darkness that was here-to-fore missing. Seeing the one and only American Psycho don the cowl reveals about as perfect a casting choice as could have been made, as Bale is able to slide from charismatic playboy to snarling beast with incredible ease. Much of what ends up on-screen obviously emerged from Bale's own chameleon-like capabilities as an actor.

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE NOW AVAILABLE

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE FROM IMDB

Olive is a little girl with a dream: winning the Little Miss Sunshine contest. Her family wants her dream to come true, but they are so burdened with their own quirks, neuroses, and problems that they can barely make it through a day without some disaster befalling them. Olive's father Richard is a flop as a motivational speaker, and is barely on speaking terms with her mother. Olive's uncle Frank, a renowned Proust scholar, has attempted suicide following an unsuccessful romance with a male graduate student. Her brother Dwayne, a fanatical follower of Nietzsche, has taken a vow of silence, which allows him to escape somewhat from the family whose very presence torments him. And Olive's grandfather is a ne'er-do-well with a drug habit, but at least he enthusiastically coaches Olive in her contest talent routine. Circumstances conspire to put the entire family on the road together with the goal of getting Olive to the Little Miss Sunshine contest in far off California. Written by Jim Beaver {jumblejim@prodigy.net}

The Hoover family is the dictionary definition for the word "dysfunctional". The dad Richard is a man who gives lectures on winners and losers, the wife is Sheryl, a chain-smoking, frazzled wife and working mother whose idea of a home cooked meal frequently consists of a bucket of chicken. Her gay brother Frank recently attempted suicide. The grandpa is Edwin, a drug addict. The son is Dwayne a rebel who has vowed not to talk until he gets into the Air Force. And then there is Olive, a seven-year old girl who dreams of going to the Little Miss Sunshine pageant. So what happens when they do? Written by neo101

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE FROM DVDTALK

The Movie

It's the little movie that could -- focused on a supremely dysfunctional clan, yet limned with a dark comic spirit and palpable empathy for its fucked up, fucked over cast of characters, Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton's big-screen directorial debut Little Miss Sunshine is that rare blend of pathos and the in-vogue awkward comedy. Most refreshing is that Michael Arndt's subtly lacerating screenplay takes stock clich�s and infuses them with quirks that approach reality, albeit an extremely heightened sense of reality; you watch Little Miss Sunshine and see a splintered, spirited family unit grow closer and approach something resembling understanding.

To ruin the surprises of Little Miss Sunshine would rob those coming to the film for the first time: the endearingly combative Hoover family � led by self-help patriarch Richard (Greg Kinnear), daughter Olive (Abigail Breslin) is a budding beauty pageant contestant and her brother Dwayne (Paul Dano) is going on nine months as a mute, studying the nihilistic works of Nietzsche. Mom Sheryl (Toni Collette) has her hands full with her suicidal brother Frank (Steve Carell) and Richard's caustic, drugged out dad (Alan Arkin).

WILD HOGS NOW AVAILABLE

WILD HOGS NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE WILD HOGS FROM IMDB

Four middle-aged men decide to take a road trip from Cincinnati to the Pacific in order to get away from their lives which are leading them nowhere. Taking their motorcycles, these "Wild Hogs" tear up the road and eventually stop in New Mexico for a drink not knowing that the bar belongs to the "Del Fuegos", a mean biker gang. When the Del Fuegos steal a bike that belongs to the Wild Hogs, the four men form a plan to steal their bike back. Written by Glenn D. Harvey

In Cincinnati, the dentist Doug Madsen is in crisis, bored with his middle-class life and missing his reckless youth when he was known as the Golden Biker. The aspirant writer Bobby Davis feels pressed by his wife and hates his job. The shy geek computer analyst Dudley Frank is unsuccessful with women. The wealthy Woody Stevens is married with a top-model. Together, the four middle-aged friends in their motorcycles self-call the "Wild Hogs". When Woody loses his wife and is completely broken, he invites his friends to take a road trip to the Pacific, in a quest for freedom. After many incidents, they stop for a beer in a bar owned by the dangerous biker gang "Del Fuegos". Their tough leader Jack steals Dudley's motorcycle, and Woody decides to recover the bike back. Woody cuts the fuel pipes of the bikes and provokes an accident, exploding their bar, but he does not tell the truth to his friends. When they stop in the small town of Madrid without gas, Dudley falls in love for the waitress and owner of the local bar Maggie. However, the "Del Fuegos" traps them in the town and the "Wild Hogs" have to take an attitude. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE WILD HOGS FROM DVDTALK

I'm in a state of shock after watching "Wild Hogs." There was an assured recipe for disaster in this attempt to address the comedic edge to the Average Joe's mid-life crisis, especially considering some of the track records of the talent. Fortunately, "Hogs" appears to have one simple goal for itself: keep it silly.

Finding their lives have been swallowed by routine and disappointment, buddies Woody (John Travolta), Doug (Tim Allen), Bobby (Martin Lawrence), and Dudley (William H. Macy) decide to take their weekend hobby of riding motorcycles to the next level: a week-long road trip. Heading off to see America, the boys find only mishaps and accidents as they snake their way across the land. Their biggest offense is irritating the leader of a Hells Angels-like gang (Ray Liotta, in scenery-chewing Ray Liotta mode), forcing them to take refuge in a tiny New Mexico town, where they find love (Marisa Tomei), friendship, and the motorcycle gang right on their tail.

STARDUST NOW AVAILABLE

STARDUST NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE STARDUST FROM IMDB

In a countryside town bordering on a magical land, a young man makes a promise to his beloved that he'll retrieve a fallen star by venturing into the magical realm.

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE STARDUST FROM DVDTALK

"Stardust" might be the "Princess Bride" of its generation: a darkly comedic and imaginative fairy tale full of witches, princes, and magic spells, not to mention a happily-ever-after ending. The story (based on a book by Neil Gaiman) is bursting with memorable characters and sly wisdom, with heroes you can love and villains you can love hating. A couple of small missteps aside, it's one of the most purely delightful movies of the year. Our hero is 18-year-old Tristan Thorn (Charlie Cox), an unremarkable but good-hearted lad in the 19th-century English village of Wall. He is in love with the vain Victoria (Sienna Miller), and when they see a falling star one night, he vows to bring the star to her as a token of his love. In exchange for this, she says she will marry him. The star has fallen on the other side of Wall's wall, in an enchanted land called Stormhold, and Tristan is surprised to learn that stars have a human shape. This one, named Yvaine, has the shape of Claire Danes. She finds Tristan rude at first, and Tristan has eyes only for Victoria, but they can help one another here: Tristan has a magic candle (bequeathed by his long-lost mother) that can get Yvaine back to the heavens where she belongs, and he agrees to let her use it if she'll accompany him back to Wall and let him show her to Victoria. Other people want Yvaine, too, though. The king of Stormhold (Peter O'Toole) is dying, and the throne will go to whichever of his sons can 1) get the ruby that is now in Yvaine's possession, and 2) avoid being killed by his brothers. The Stormhold princes have a tendency to murder one another, you see. Their ghosts, still bearing the marks of the way they were killed, are doomed to hang around, observing and commenting and continuing to quarrel, until the matter of heirship is settled.

HOT ROD NOW AVAILABLE

HOT ROD NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE HOT ROD FROM IMDB

Self-proclaimed stuntman Rod Kimble (Samberg) is preparing for the jump of his life. Rod plans to clear fifteen buses in an attempt to raise money for his abusive stepfather Frank’s life-saving heart operation. He’ll land the jump, get Frank better, and then fight him, hard.

HERE IS A REVIEW OF THE MOVIE HOT ROD FROM DVDTALK

"Hot Rod" isn't so much a comedy as it is an exclusive clubhouse for those who define their existence by the articulation of their zany. It's a wild one, but not without its charms. And yes, I do write that with the full knowledge that Will Arnett appears in the film.

Rod (Andy Samberg) is a wannabe stuntman, spending his time hanging with his group of friends (including Bill Hader and Jorma Taccone), executing daredevil spectacles poorly, and trying to win the heart of his neighbor (Isla Fisher). When his stepfather (Ian McShane) needs $50,000 for heart surgery, Rod hopes to cash in on his talents and raise the money by clearing 15 school buses on a motorcycle. Conjuring the spirits of the animal kingdom and harvesting the power of a fake mustache, Rod begins a laborious training period to achieve his goal.

"Hot Rod" is the starring debut for Andy Samberg, an SNL player who always seems to struggle on the show expanding his irreverence past the three-minute mark. The pop culture icon behind the "Lazy Sunday" and "Dick in a Box" digital shorts (sadly, my heart belongs to the laser cats), Samberg is a performer of sizeable energy, but his range of laugh impact is a limited one. He's born from the Sandler School of the Absurd, stitching together a haphazard series of jokes and non-sequiturs to make "Hot Rod" the new king of the dorm room DVD collection.
