The affair between a politician and a ballerina is affected by mysterious forces keeping the lovers apart.

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU FROM DVDTALK
The struggle to retain free will takes a strangely spiritual turn in "The Adjustment Bureau," a generally lively film that plays with questions of self while sprinting through a Philip K. Dick theme park of the unreal and the intimidating. Think of it as "Love Story" meets "Total Recall" and "Dark City," which doesn't quite do justice to the moviegoing experience at hand, but comes close to describing the idiosyncratic, highly cinematic world writer/director George Nolfi generates here for his filmmaking debut.
David Norris (Matt Damon) is an aspiring politician looking to climb his way up the Washington ladder and make a difference in the world, despite his occasionally reckless personality. On the eve of his greatest public failure, David meets Elise (Emily Blunt), a spirited dancer who sparks immediate chemistry with the fallen man, only to scurry away after making a profound impression. When they meet again by chance, David seizes the opportunity, attempting to woo Elise for good. Unfortunately, this pairing interferes with a plan of fate set by The Chairman, who oversees humanity via assistants known as The Adjustment Bureau -- a group of formally dressed men out to correct deviations in the master plan of life, sent out to stop David and Elise from falling in love. Made aware of their presence by a sympathetic employee (Anthony Mackie), David sets out to protect his future by challenging the mysterious system.
"Adjustment Bureau" is an odd film, but Dick was an ingenious writer, penning this short story in 1954, which has been exhaustively reimagined for its big screen debut. Nolfi (who previously co-scripted "Ocean's Twelve" and "The Bourne Ultimatum") pushes for a more emotional connection, softening the chilly nature of the tale with a pronounced sense of humor, while encouraging his gorgeous stars to make blissful music together as David and Elise fiddle around with their highly unusual courtship. It's a story of love and paranoia, wonder and choice, asking provocative questions of humanity while sustaining a rousing sci-fi edge. Nolfi deserves plenty of credit for keeping "Adjustment Bureau" as tight and endearing as it is for the first two acts, creating a needed reminder of humankind to balance out the mystery of the antagonists and their cryptic guide to life.
"Adjustment Bureau" is a stylish picture with terrific costuming ideas that place the perhaps heavenly agents in garb associated with a 1950's insurance salesman, giving the growing menace a deliberate feel of an outdated corporation -- an angelic "Mad Men" gathering of snappily dressed hunters who study leather-bound books of fate, imagined here as electronic subway maps of destiny. The look of the film is elegant, wise with NYC locations, and rich with glamour, making the actors look good as the script requests increasingly feverish reactions. Thankfully, there's a fantastic ensemble gathered here to fill out the fantasy, with Damon and Blunt generously sexy and playful as the targeted couple, madly dashing to avoid a cruel separation as the Bureau plays a few dirty tricks to keep the obsessed candidate in line. Also winning are the men in blue, with Mackie unexpectedly sensitive as the true believer of the Bureau, while John Slattery is effectively comical and stymied as the senior agent sent in to clean up David's interaction with the relentless spoiler known as chance.
Also pleasurable is Terence Stamp, who doesn't need much in the way of dialogue to slip into his commanding role as the Bureau's hitman, a ruthless agent sent to hurt David where it counts the most. Stamp brings precise regality and iciness to the supporting role, permitting the film an extra layer of authority.
Nolfi handles exposition wonderfully, teasing the audience with bits of godly reveal, keeping the origin of the Bureau playfully ambiguous, opening the group's true purpose to interpretation. Unfortunately, once the film fully takes to the art of the chase, it runs out of gas, looking to mount a dazzling, portal-leaping conclusion at the very moment the end credits should be rolling. Nolfi doesn't know where to end the feature, which elongates an otherwise spry thriller. Still, there's enough substance and suspense to devour, making the picture an entertaining puzzle with a satisfying command of human need.

HALL PASS NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE HALL PASS FROM IMDB.
 
A married man is granted the opportunity to have an affair by his wife. Joined in the fun by his best pal, things get a little out of control when both wives start engaging in extramarital activities as well.

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE HALL PASS FROM DVDTALK.
I used to believe the 1998 smash, "There's Something About Mary," was the best thing that could've happened to the filmmaking duo, Peter and Bobby Farrelly. I now realize I was wrong. The boys have been chasing that success for over a decade, deploying the once enchantingly comfy Farrelly Formula time and again, looking for that elusive box office champion that could restore luster to their tarnished brand name. "Hall Pass" is quite possibly their least organic offering to date, coldly calculating shock value and emotional connection to piece together yet another feature film that'll make the audience shift from uncomfortable laughter to tender appreciation.
As two married schlubs with sex constantly on the brain, Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) are faced with fading unions, losing wives Maggie (Jenna Fischer) and Grace (Christina Applegate) to the demands of motherhood and age. When their childish antics finally step over the line, the ladies decide to give the guys a "hall pass," allowing them one week to act like ravenous single men without fear of judgment or reprisal. Confronted with their wildest dream come true, Rick and Fred embark on a weeklong series of misadventures, desperate to find willing women, but mostly encouraging trouble, making them reconsider what's truly important in their lives.
On paper, the merging of the Farrellys and a boisterous sex comedy likely registered as a can't-miss proposition. After all, the duo has strutted down this road before, leaving them highly skilled in the art of the guffaw with an emotional chaser. Unfortunately, "Hall Pass" is a robotic effort, guided by the brothers in an insincere manner that suggests career panic over true comedic bravery. It's a gross-out enterprise that's largely miscast, overly schticky, and morally disoriented, assuming it's dishing up universal truths on the routine of marriage when it actually feels like a tepid basic cable sitcom, down to the hideously bright cinematography from Matthew Leonetti.
The screenplay offers the Farrellys a playground of opportunity, supplying a plot that follows two idiots as they descend into the wasteland of the single scene, populated with untouchable young things, feisty cougars, and fellow geezers looking to score easy sex. Expecting something charmingly deranged from the directors, "Hall Pass" instead plays it all with crushing familiarity, capturing Rick and Fred as they devour pot brownies, strike out with rancid pick-up lines, and come face to face with male nudity. I wasn't expecting a semi-sequel to "The King's Speech," but surely the Farrellys could be more imaginative than having one of Fred's conquests spray diarrhea all over his bathroom or include a shot in which a close friend enjoys a bowel movement on a sand trap. And don't even ask about the oral sex term "fake chow," which seems pulled from a particularly lame Google search adventure.
"Hall Pass" is uninspired, but it's not without laughs. In fact, when the picture settles down to survey the leads navigating the single scene as old men, the Farrellys land a few silly punches, with Wilson and Sudeikis effectively registering comic frustration as married men incapable of growing up. The infantile behavior works in small fragments, but it's often pushed aside for the shock value bits, many of which feel old hat to a filmmaking team that once drizzled semen on Ben Stiller's ear. "Hall Pass" pushes too hard to stun, making its excesses irksome, smothering the clear potential of the premise.
In keeping with the Farrelly Formula, the screenplay eventually demands the audience feel for these characters, softening Rick and Fred while giving their spouses their own hall pass subplot, as the ladies face temptation with minor league baseball professionals. The directors adore their warmth, but there's no place for it here, creating blunt edges as "Hall Pass" jerks from fecal jokes to refreshed declarations of love. The effort is worthless, futilely attempting to nurture a conscience from the wreckage of a dirty movie, perhaps proving the Farrelly Brother moviemaking template is now officially beyond repair.

I AM NUMBER FOUR NOW AVAILABLE




HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE I AM NUMBER FOUR FROM IMDB

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE I AM NUMBER FOUR FROM DVDTALK



It was bound to happen sooner or later. With "I Am Number Four," Hollywood attempts to branch out to other genres to find a new "Twilight" -- something with heavy romantic and superhuman overtones that could be massaged into a brand new franchise to take over the hearts and wallets of teens when the sparkly vampires take a bow in 2012. Though dealing with intergalactic invasion, corporeal powers, and laser guns, "I Am Number Four" is a relatively tame creation, lacking a thunderous, textured cinematic quality that would separate it from the average ABC Family movie.
An alien from the planet Lorien, Number Four (Alex Pettyfer) has come to Earth to hide from a vicious enemy known as the Mogadorians. Guided by protector Henri (Timothy Olyphant), Four is working his way through adolescence, finding himself in possession of several "Legacies" that offer him exceptional powers. Settling into a quiet life in the suburb of Paradise, Ohio, Four comes across fellow teen Sarah (Dianna Agron) at school, enchanted with her sense of kindness and photographic poetry. Unfortunately, there's little time for love, as the Mogadorians, with their fearless leader Commander (Kevin Durand), draw near, forcing Four, human pal Sam (Callan McAuliffe), and huntress Number Six (Teresa Palmer) to fight back, working to gain full control over their Legacies.
Based on the best seller from author Pittacus Lore (a pen name for writers Jobie Hughes and James Frey), "I Am Number Four" has all the required ingredients for a modern teen movie. There's a mysterious, hunky lead character of limited sexual threat and startling powers; huge amounts of knotted backstory with puzzling names and purposes to sort out (often unsuccessfully) during the course of the movie; and there's a heavy fantasy angle that bleeds into swoony romantic yearn between two teens unable to consummate their love due to villainous interference. Certainly director D.J. Caruso ("Eagle Eye") isn't going to pooh-pooh any similarities made between "Twilight" and his film. Why throw away such amazing box office potential?
"I Am Number Four" is a children's film, too frail to find an awesome voltage that would lend it a truly epic stance. Instead, it's a surprisingly drab creation, following Four as he feels out the limits of his Legacies (interpreted here as glowing hands and telekinesis), deflects trouble from school bullies, goes all angsty on guardian Henri, and struggles to maintain a love connection with Sarah. It's ultimately a protracted and uneventful origin tale, but that's not made immediately clear, as Caruso seems to be building toward a colossal showdown between Four and the Mogadorians (goofy creatures who have gills located right next to their noses) for the future of Earth. The clash does finally arrive in the final act, but it's an absolute snoozer set inside a high school, showcasing limp stunt choreography, unimpressive special effects, and truly random acts of CGI-laden heroism. "I Am Number Four" is a tease, promising muscular genre goods it never delivers, led by a painfully robotic performance from English actor Pettyfer, who spends the entirety of his screentime fussing with his unconvincing American accent.
With comatose cinematography, Durand cringingly overacting like a lunatic in the one-note villain role (he gives the same garish performance in every movie), and a script that's sculpted solely for hardcore fans, "I Am Number Four" is often more irritating than involving. The kicker comes at the end, which really isn't a satisfying conclusion, but a ballsy, shameless cliffhanger for a sequel. Caruso could've at least attempted a vague sense of finality to show some genuine respect to his audience, but closure won't encourage people to follow Four again in a few years. Considering how uneventful the first installment is, I'd be shocked if we ever hear from these characters on the big screen again.
