Review:

In the same spirit, pardon the pun, of Poltergeist and Amityville, comes the story of a family of five who moves into their new residence, eager to start their new life, but the house isn’t all that welcoming towards one particular member of their family. Their eldest son Dalton is being stalked by the residence and the old spirit that lives there. At first, it’s just little things like books falling off shelves and strange noises, but when Dalton goes up to the attic to investigate, he slips off a broken ladder and falls. But starts screaming at something he sees. But after calming him down and tucking him in, his parents Josh and Renai (Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne) believe he is fine. But the next day, they find him comatose in a state that doctors can’t explain, even after spending three months in the hospital. Believing that home would be a much better place for him, they bring him back to the house, but the spirit has just begun to use him for it’s own agenda. Even moving doesn’t free them from the terror that has become their boy. Read more…

Review:

Rio tells the story of a Blu (Jesse Eisenberg), a blue macaw that believes he is the last of his kind. Having led a cooped up life, but one that he loves, with his owner Linda (Leslie Mann), his only regret is that he can’t find love. But when they hear about a female macaw that lives in Brazil at a shelter, Blu has hope that they will one day meet and fall in love. Well, as luck would have it, a bird researcher Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro), would like to see the bird for himself, and they all go to the South American country to find her. Soon after Blu meets Jewel (Anne Hathaway) and they really start get along, tragedy strikes when both birds, thought to be very rare and expensive, are kidnapped by smugglers. They escape, but aren’t safe as they wind up being chased all through the film by the bad guys and tracked by Nigel (Jemaine Clement), a cockatoo that belongs to the smugglers. With the help of some wise cracking city birds that they meet along the way, Jewel and Blu must stop their captors and return to live their lives happily ever after. Read more…

Ex-CIA, her dad (Erik Bana) is bent on making sure she reaches her goal. But there are those in the intelligence agency that wish to see her stopped at all cost, led by Marissa (Cate Blanchett), who has a goal of her own.

Review:

Soul Surfer tells the amazing true story of a brave young lady who overcame incredible odds to continue her dream of being a championship surfer.

Bethany Hamilton was quite a child prodigy of the waves. By 13, she’d already won championships in the sport, gained a sponsor (Rip Curl) and began competing on the professional circuit. It seemed that she was headed for a fantastic career. But tragedy struck when a tiger shark attacked her during a morning surf, ripping off her left arm. The injury left her having to relearn just about everything she did and in most people, it would have spelled the end of her watery goal and lifestyle. But encouraged by her father, a surfer dude himself, she learned not only to live with a single upper appendage, but to reclaim her place on the board. Read more…
