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…

Review:

In an age long ago, two brothers (Danny McBride, James Franco) lived in the castle of a kingdom on the verge of destruction. But even with the problems, Fabious (Franco) is going to wed the beautiful BellaDonna (Zooey Deschanel). But before their marriage can proceed, she is kidnapped by the evil and powerful wizard Leezar (Justin Thereox), which fancies her for himself, thus depriving the kingdom and her husband-to-be of the wedding. Fabious, who is brave and courageous, not to mention experienced at this sort of thing decides to take out after her, but the king realizes it’s really a job for two and tells the lazy, womanizing, beer swilling brother Thaddeus (McBride) that he must accompany his sibling on the quest or face the consequences of banishment. Given know choice, Thaddeus agrees and they start out, with servant in tow. Read more…

In the wake of the tragedy, instead of finding solace in her stepfather, he abuses her to the point where it comes to a vicious confrontation on both sides. He wants the inheritance that was supposed to be for her sister and her. So in order to get her out of the way, he decides to lock Baby Doll away in order to avoid any more entanglements. So without her knowledge, he has her committed to a mental institution run by three horrible captors (Oscar Isaac, Carla Gugino, and Jon Hamm). She wakes up to find the predicament she’s in and that she’s about to be lobotomized in five days time. Read more…

Review:

In a unique twist on a concept introduced in TV’s Quantum Leap, a special individual can actually jump into another person’s body through the use of a machine. But unlike Sam Beckett in the TV show, the bodies that are jumped into will die in eight minutes. But we are not aware of that at the start of the film, and neither is Colter Stevens, an army helicopter pilot, who suddenly finds himself on a commuter train in Boston. He has no clue why he is there. All he knows is that this beautiful woman sitting across from him apparently knows him and that his name is not Stevens, but Sean. Stevens (played by Jake Gyllenhaal of Brokeback Mountain fame) must figure out why he’s there, what is going on, and stop what is about to happen to the train that kills everyone aboard and has eight minutes to do it, sort of.
