Cloud Atlas Director: The Wachowski Siblings Cast: Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Doona Bae, Susan Sarandon, Hugh Grant I’m excited for this film because it’s one of the very few films that somehow flew under my radar. 9.) Director: Roger Michell Cast: Bill Murray, Laura Linney I went to college a few miles away from Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Hyde Park Estate so this film has an inside track on my rankings.

I’m excited for a few reasons. 8.) Director: Ben Affleck Cast: Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, John Goodman Pretty damn cool, huh? 7.) Director: Martin McDonagh Great, wasn’t it? 6.)

To celebrate the release of THE PURGE, out on Blu-ray and DVD now, we take a look at the Top 5 Plot Twists we just didn’t see coming… Back in 1999, Hollywood Pictures brought us the physiological horror THE SIXTH SENSE. Starring Haley Joel Osment, Bruce Willis and Toni Collette, the film centres around a troubled, isolated boy, Cole, (Osment) who is able to see and talk to the dead, and an equally troubled child psychologist, Malcolm, (Willis) who tries to help him.

Being surprised by a movie is one of the unique joys that cinema can offer, a feeling that is nearly impossible to replicate elsewhere.

Every time we watch a movie we’re investing something, usually a healthy (or unhealthy) portion of time and money, and the hope is that we’ll have a return on this investment in the form of being entertained, feeling feelings, and receiving inspiration. With this comes expectations that we tend to wish will be fulfilled, which is often where genre comes into play: the anticipation that because we’re seeing a science fiction or western or horror movie (or the surprise of an animated movie, like Up, featuring possibly the most elegant tear-jerker sequences ever conceived), a certain set of familiar concepts and sensibilities will come across. There is pleasure in having these desires fulfilled, but also in having them be upended or subverted without warning.

The 10 Best Recent Releases on Netflix Watch Instantly (2013) By Dustin Rowles | Guides | April 19, 2014 | Comments (0 View If you want to catch up on great television, Netflix is a fantastic service. It has a ton of great options (here's the 25 best series on Netflix Instant, ranked) that will keep you occupied for months, if not years. The movie selection, however, often leaves something to be desired, particularly when it comes to more recent films. Netflix will often land three or four big movie titles each year, but the rest of their movie selection tends to be a lot of filler, and it's difficult to wade through it to find the best gems.

But, sometimes dense, complicated movies leave us wondering,“What the heck did we just watch?” Warner Bros. Today, Stanley Kubrick's big screen adaptation of Arthur C.

8 Famous Movie Plot Holes With Shockingly Simple Solutions » Page 3 of 9. The “Plot Hole”: The “Basterds” in Quentin Tarantino’s giddy war time exploitation homage are a rag tag bunch if you ever saw one: Lt.

Hugo Stiglitz, originally a German-enlisted man, turned on his allies and joined the Basterds after offing members of the Nazi High Command. The Simple Solution: I suppose that simple logic would dictate that Major Hellstrom, the extemporary soldier that he is supposedly is, would know exactly what a notorious traitor such as Hugo Stiglitz looked like, given the circumstances.

One might also consider that, given the situation, Hellstrom has no real reason to believe that Stiglitz would actually be sitting next to him – without that suspicion anywhere in his brain, isn’t it more likely that he just believe him to be another soldier?

Solaris (2002); Steven Soderbergh, director.

Cool Posts From Around the Web: The 30 Most Rewatchable Movies of the Modern Era (Page 2) | Pajiba. There are great films — classics and Oscar winners — and then there are the movies you watch the most, and the two don’t necessarily mix. Great award-winning films have complex themes, dense plots, fully-realized characters, and stellar performances. The best rewatchable movies tend to be simple comedies or action films, light on message and heavy on satisfaction. Subversion and originality is generally eschewed in favor of formula and comfort.

You don’t start your career with a mega-hit but work up to it. Despite having some big name films to their credit, these famous directors were still nobody when they made the short films presented here.

Some short films here are even precursors to their first feature films.
