Tony Scott (director said action movie holliwoodiani and brother of the famous Ridley Scott) directs a large cast of great actors in a film that does not seem ...
Walter Garber ( Denzel Washington), manager of the company that manages the New York metropolitan area, is demoted after an investigation into allegedly illicit kickbacks and finds himself engaged in directing traffic of the metropolitan rail: the wrong place , wrong day. A group of terrorists headed by a man who calls himself Ryder ( John Travolta), it takes possession of a train, threatening to kill one hostage per minute if they will not be delivered within one hour after a ransom of 10 million dollars. Since the beginning Garber becomes single point of Ryder, which seems to establish a sort of empathic connection. A skilled negotiator will act to give him support of the police ( John Turturro).
Although the film qualities of the excellent performance of two extraordinary actors such as Denzel Washington and John Travolta, and despite winning a series of dialogues, suspended between the spiritual and the psychopath, the story seems to lack substance. Initially directed adrenaline and then the size of the performers taking thickness, seem to promise interesting developments and surprises to remain at the end completely disillusioned. The research also shows Garbon of redemption of a nuisance and ultra-gooders spiattellatto made in the USA that sounds too self-celebration of American citizenship.
disturbingly timely and unusual, the television series English Survivors , tackles the story of a group of people who survived the spread of a flu that has killed more than 99% of the world.
Abby, Sarah, Al Sadiq, Tom, Greg, Najid and Anya, immune to the virus and who met by chance in a English town now desolate and scarred dall'immane silence, they face difficulties related to the unfolding of a life of "ordinary", such as lack of electricity and drinking water and safety issues associated with the presence of imbalances in a dangerous world, without more laws or rules. The group of survivors, diverse and multicultural, able to establish immediately, despite the social differences and character, strong emotional ties, physical and moral support in times of need.
The show is well done, the stories of the characters are very intertwined and especially the beautiful landscapes, immense and motionless, make it to perfection the sense of shock and anxiety of those who observe them and listen to them, looking for help, a response, or perhaps just a hope. remake of the homonymous famous British series of the '70s, Survivors is transmitted by Rai Tre in Italy every Thursday night at 22:35, from September 3, 2009.
With the Savior episode, returns in the U.S. Smallville. Now in its ninth season, the season premiere aired on September 25, registering an increase plays of 25% compared to last year.
The story finds Clark Kent just three weeks from the events of the eighth season. But it is a completely different character that comes to his audience: in fact, Clark is visibly marked by the disappearance of Jimmy, with whom he feels deeply responsible enough to choose to cut all ties with his patients to isolate themselves in the Fortress of Solitude and follow the teachings of Jor-El. The goal is to learn the unique skills that he is still lacking (compared to Kara), one of the flight, and, most importantly, achieving greater self-awareness and what its intended use. The episode also marks the return of Lois Lane who is catapulted into the future without retaining memory ...
According to spoilers, this ninth season should bring to the screen some old and new enemies Clark: Toyman (already appeared in the previous season), Roulette and even Darkseid ... For now, fans can definitely settle for what is certain: the presence (permanent member) of the young Zod and John Corben (aka Metal ), who, played by Brian Austin Green , and already appeared in the first episode will be Clark Kent's antagonist in several episodes of the series. Although
Smallville has already drawn plenty of Superman universe, so to create some inconsistencies with the original story, it seems that the writers and the same Tom Welling (meanwhile also become co-producer of the series) have been working on a script that marks a point definitive break with previous seasons, Clark will make that decisive step, especially in the interior, which led him to be (or so ... .. as the project of a tenth season seems already in the works!) the largest superhero of all time.
By the fifth volume, Redemption continues the saga of Heroes .
The new season got underway in the U.S. September 21, 2009 on the NBC network which transmitted the first two episodes: Orientation and Push, Jump, Fall .
The story finds the characters whit 6 weeks after the events that had the final distinguishing trait of the fourth volume.
As one intuits from the title, the redemption is the main theme of this season, with most of the characters that follow, whether consciously or unconsciously, the way to give direction to their lives, a sense of its power and size to their lives. E 'especially if Peter Petrelli , returned to his work as a paramedic, who is portrayed almost as a comic book hero, lonely and obsessed, the idea of \u200b\u200bremedying the mistakes of his family and to balance the evil committed, groped to convince him to save as many lives as possible. It 's the case of Noah who, abandoned by his wife, for the first time shows (at least apparently) the desire to restore and enhance his family affections, much to Angela Petrelli to refuse to help revitalize the organization. And it is the case of that Matt Parkman, found his son, feels the weight of his speech on the mind of Sylar and, hearing that he had gone too far with his powers, he decides to give it up, but something will try to stop him ...
addition to the inner journey of these (and other) characters, the first two episodes of this new volume and are facing new threats and old ...
Sylar's mind seems to awakening, along with his powers.
creeps And a new presence in history: Samuel, who heads a group of "special people" (defined Family ) and that seems to have a role in the development dele events that animate this book.
This bodes well that the fans (at least at first sight) is a return to the narrative style that had characterized the first season (surely the most successful) and then fail in the subsequent ones, a style of unpredictable twists between the characters, their stories and their destinies. Thus, already the first two episodes is a hopeful sign that the likes of Peter Petrelli , Hiro Nakamura, Claire Bennet and the same Sylar will play a decisive role and the impact that such efforts Family will respect the history.

All "warnings" appears to be accurate, regularly occurred over the past 50 years, and to supplement that message there are three prophecies about disasters not yet taken place ...
Knowing is a film that runs somewhere between science fiction and mysticism.
The first part of the film has the feel of horror and then assume, with the development of events, the appearance of a science fiction story properly conceived and structured, with an unexpected end ... The photography, especially in some sequences, turns out to be a valuable added value thanks to the choice of tones and dark colors tend to, that can easily fit the narrative and the viewer that trigger the omen of the apocalypse. The limit of the film probably lies in the speed with which events follow each end, the decisive and more important for an assessment of the whole story. For fans of the genre, Knowing film is still a good idea.

The film moves between situations, sometimes comic, sometimes by action movie and has the merit of trying to represent through simbolisimi simple but effective, some ideals and concepts such as heroism, love and immortality. The entire film to a certain point it seems to be a fairy tale with some very clear references to the mythological Greek gods. And the very concept of heroism is well dealt with: a hero can hide behind a Superman costume as well as an alcoholic with no aspiration, and above all can hide behind any individual who, as Ray does not have any special ability, but is animated by the firm conviction that we can help change the world. Subtle and very successful the metaphor of love, portrayed as the most powerful force in existence, even the strongest of immortality ...

all lovers of the "bloody thriller" Harper's Island is a pleasant surprise: an intriguing, engaging and well built, despite some imperfections in the structure of plot, as the real shortage of clues to reveal the hidden mystery, or as the sudden and incomprehensible absence of the islanders, once we start the long trail of murders.

Some of them follow the course of events, its own path of moral growth, while others consolidate their position at times bizarre and grotesque, and more drag to the end of a veil of shadow and unrest.

With The Big Dream , Michele Placido proposes the split of Italy in a student revolution. The film tells of the encounter between Nicholas and the intertwining of stories ( Riccardo Scamarcio ), Liberia (Luke Argentero ) and Laura (Jasmine Trinca ).
Three guys, three different worlds: Nicholas is a young province of Puglia, arrived in Rome to pursue his dream of becoming an actor and ritrovatosi policeman for a real need for suction, Laura is a student of the Roman upper classes, who has a strong pulse of independence in the revolution and family who discovers the spark to ignite the student's need for freedom; Free is a student, the son of a worker from Turin, with a clear ideological and political beliefs that will project from the outset between leaders of the student revolt.
The intent of the director to represent Italy sessantottino appears successful only partially: the film seems to be more attentive to the events and aspirations of individual actors than the "big dream" of a generation. And in the end that dream seems to really identify only Free. Nicola lives in fact the student revolt on the other side of the fence, undercover police, and the passion and fervor that animate it at some point and urge him to pursue his dream with all his might, or appear to be dictated more invigorated His love for Laura from any socio-cultural implications. The same Laura, while adhering to employment from the beginning student, it seems more an excuse really look that departs from the conventions of his bourgeois life.
If you follow the story while remaining attentive to the vicissitudes of the protagonists and their development within, the film is a beautiful story and sometimes even intense, enhanced inter alia by the apparitions of Laura Morante and the brief but remarkable Silvio Orlando .
If the eye and the attention of the viewer does not deviate from the social, cultural and political issues that accompany the period as a backdrop to the story, then the film seems to lack something to be able to enjoy a great movie.

Lie to me debuted in Italy on September 7, 2009 FOX channel (the series is then available for viewing in High Definition ) which offers two shows every Monday starting at 21:00.
In view of the already rich American TV series, Lie to me seems to offer some added values: first the subject, which shows the original as well as very charming and attractive, more detail (not little!) is definitely the choice of the protagonist, Tim Roth , which is very persuasive.
Although at times (and perhaps deliberately) the actor to propose an almost manic and infuriating his skills as an observer, he also manages to feature the character so much to give the earliest one of his characters depth and an undeniable credibility.
Rounding out the team of Dr. Lightman and enrich the texture of Seiei TV, his assistants: Dr. Gillian Foster , Eli Locker, who has a hilarious "radical honesty" and Ria Tores .
Basically for fans of the detective genre, Lie to me promises to be a TV series original, exciting and successful. Murderers, criminals and thieves be warned ... .. " the truth is written on our face "
If seen as a journey, a journey of life, The Millionaire is an extraordinary tale. Set in a Bombay / Mumbai beautiful at times but mostly portrayed in its suburbs and slums, the film tells the story of Jamal , his life, his love and his attempt to become a millionaire by participating in a quiz.
The story moves on sequences between present, past, recent and old memories, indelible in the mind of the protagonist. " What the hell knows who is a beggar from the slums? . From the start it is clear that the answers, seemingly impossible, Jamal did not provide nor its culture, or its preparation, but life itself, through a series of key episodes (sometimes dramatic, sometimes violent and sometimes funny and surreal) that remain etched in his memory and in a few details that make a difference in his life.
The Millionaire turns out to be an overview of all the emotions, especially love, that take shape in Jamal young boy, when he and his brother Salim , assists the death of his mother and the destruction of shanty towns in which they live. E 'at this point that the two embark on their journey. And it is here that they met Latika .
The contrast between the two brothers in the way of approaching a condition of their lives seems a perfect expression, a metaphor about the different ways that exist in understanding life and the different ability to seize the opportunity and the signs of destiny.
Jamal is a young boy immediately lively and creative, able to gain a form of human knowledge The distinctive (which is very well made by his confrontation with the presenter of the quiz), but what is most striking the protagonist, is his perception of his love for Latika, who will support him to chase and search for life: first the naive and tender love of a child, then that becomes intense and compelling force, energy and determination , so as to bring it to become a millionaire groped through the quiz, even if the money and fame are not what he aspires to.
In perfect contrast is the figure of Salim, which directly or indirectly, will be increasingly crucial part of the fate of his brother. Since small Salim seems more ready to "grow up quickly" in a reality to the limit, but its sometimes be more mischievous, sometimes more a childhood marked by difficult, will lead to a feeling of anger against life and violence as a manifestation of a desire for wealth and power.
Within this juxtaposition of roles and destinies, is beautiful encounter between the protagonist and a young man, blinded and forced to beg, that Jamal had met as a child along the path of life: "You Jamal grown. Well, I'm happy for you. You are able to escape. Have you saved. Instead I have had no luck. This is the difference .
and beautiful traits of love appear in the film, painting, fairy tales and perceived intensity expressed in the dialogues between Jamal and Latika in He promises, in its constant and relentless search for her and the sacrifice of Latika.
" was written."
With The Millionaire ( winner of 4 Golden Globes and Oscars 8, including Best Picture and best director), Danny Boyle (made famous by the film Trainspotting) shows a great versatility and a remarkable ability to engage in very diverse cinematic experiences, discussing (albeit with mixed results) with genres, textures and subjects are completely different. Is very suitable for the style of its director, through a series of flashbacks that make it enjoyable and smooth vision of the film, as much guessed is the choice of music and fine photography, especially when applied to the joints and raids between poverty and the misery of the slums of Bombay / Mumbai.
The impression one gets looking The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a film that does not intend to cross the viewer with a strong warning against 's holocaust, or at least not this is the fundamental element of the film. Rather, there is shown in the story through the eyes of a child of 8 years and through factors such as its simplicity, its imagination and curiosity, which soon becomes a craving to explore something completely unknown and incomprehensible to him.
Bruno, the protagonist, a German boy, the son of the commander of a concentration camp, was initially thrown into a situation that can only be explained by both paradox of justification to provoke a smile in the viewer (bitter): the field Concentration is a farm ... The deportees are strange farmers perpetually wearing pajamas ... And those numbers on their pajamas must inevitably be part of a game ... E 'in this emotional context that they met Shmu , a jew boy his own age, who lives inside the camp. Their friendship takes shape in an almost surreal, and perhaps because of it more credible (and certainly most touching), if one considers the almost fairy-tale vision that Bruno has the world around him. The meeting does not prove decisive to the understanding of reality (which in fact never occurs at all) by the protagonist. However, it reveals an element that can turn him in doubt about what the real nature of his father and the lessons that are taught. 's just at this point that makes his real pop element that violence, if you take in small doses even the appearance of a verbal and physical violence, is certainly its most successful expression in looks and tone of a terrifying Nazi lieutenant. Bruno This triggers a further element in emotional fear. And it was through fear or because of this that the child feels compelled to seek the friendship of Shmu and the way to "redeem himself" in his eyes.
The film moves initially at a very slow pace and the sin of wanting to somehow take back some ideas already present (and presumably more developed) in Life is beautiful. remains, however, a film that deserves to be seen. And be seen for what is: the exploration of a horrible and cruel world by a boy armed only with his imagination and his naivete.
A cross between a film and a documentary, of Gomorrah Matteo Garrone represents a journey through the maze of dark Camorra. Based on five episodes, different but similar in substance, the film offers a real picture of the dying in Campania where there is no room for lights and colors, hopes and ambitions, a painting made of absolute dullness and that releases strong a feeling of utter helplessness.
The characters portrayed living a reality that appears as a final conviction, a doomed since birth and that will lead to the inevitable. For none of them is no redemption, or the illusion that there can be, and also the only one of the protagonists who opposed his conscience in such squalor, not with the research or the hope of a better future or a different fate but only the awareness of not being able to change the system.
Unlike so many films on offer on the subject, Gomorrah seems, at times, completely giving up the action even to history and to focus more the message that goes through the whole movie: the Camorra not only in armed conflicts and its countless victims, not just in brutality and violence but also and especially in culture deeply rooted in the territory, in that culture which offers children and young people that as the only possible choice, the same culture that wants all slaves to a single system that considers all types of goods as a source of income and every individual, conscious or not, as a cog in the mechanism. In this context it is the interpretation of the highest level of all players, credibilissimi and always engaged in dialogues of raw realism that, to great effect, allow an almost constant empathic projection of the viewer.
