Top movie review about “Snowpiercer (2014)”


  
Movie Information: 

In this sci-fi epic from director Bong Joon Ho (The Host, Mother), a failed global-warming experiment kills off most life on the planet. The final survivors board the SNOWPIERCER, a train that travels around the globe via a perpetual-motion engine. When cryptic messages incite the passengers to revolt, the train thrusts full-throttle towards disaster. (c) TWC-Radius

R, 2 hr. 6 min.
Science Fiction & Fantasy
Directed By: Joon-ho Bong
In Theaters: Jun 27, 2014 Limited
Box Office:$0.2M
Radius-TWC - Official Site 

  
Based on the French graphic novel "La Transperceneige," Bong Joon-ho's "Snowpiercer" begins in the extremely not-too-distant future as mankind launches a final attempt to halt the spread of global warming once and for all. Needless to say, the plan backfires spectacularly and plunges the world into a new ice age that causes the extinction of all life forms. Luckily, before all this happened, wealthy industrialist Wilford (an inspired bit of casting that I dare not reveal), taking several pages from Ayn Rand, constructed a high-speed luxury train that can circle the globe without stopping or suffering the effects of the weather outside. Now, humanity's last remnants reside on the train—the well-to-do people living in comfort in the head cars with the poor and downtrodden masses stuck in back in cramped quarters and forced to subsist on protein bars made from...well, don't ask what goes into the protein bars.

Cost/Performance: Everybody wants to gain more with less money. 

Application Stability: In order to make an appearance in our review, each product must be able to run smoothly throughout the ripping, converting and burning process. The best DVD ripper software should be reliable, stable and accessible immediately after you install it on your computer.

Ease of Use: This section refers to how intuitive and user-friendly the application is. The best DVD ripper software pays particular attention to navigation, design interface, cleanliness and overall simplicity. Applications that are instinctual, straightforward and uncomplicated scored highly in this category.

Ease of Installation: This criterion deals with how easy it is to put the DVD ripper software on your computer. We took several things into consideration, including time to install, simplicity of the install and compatibility with operating systems.

Quality of Copy: The best DVD rippers make an exact 1:1 copy of the movies on your disc. This means that the copy on your hard drive is indistinguishable from the movie on the original disc.

Feature Set: In order to be considered among the best DVD rippers, there are a few must-have features. Of course, applications must be able to transfer movies from the DVD to your hard drive. Applications on our list also need to have the ability to remove copy protections on commercial discs – this feature unlocks the content on your DVDs and makes them available for backup and conversion, and viewing on multiple devices. 
   
Let’s take a look at who are in the list now. 

TOP 1. Pavtube DVDAid 
   


A. Rip DVD to popular video and audio format

It makes 1:1 copy of original DVD Disc without quality loss with all audio streams, subtitle tracks, extras, etc. For the short time it takes to convert the movie with the help of CUDA/AMD GPU acceleration, and you will get hours of enjoyments. It's simple to use and well worth the investment.

C. Perfect the video with creative editing features
  
It can support latest DVD, features with adding *.srt and *.ass subtitle, also help you direct copy titles from DVDs. Below is two users' reviews:
Your profile works just great and the picture is clear, well as always you guys are fantastic with your products and please work on being able to burn to DVD once the user has made their conversation that is something that your competitors can not do directly and that would be awesome and I would love to be your beta tester. 
  
It is easy to use for editing and conversion and makes great quality copies of my DVDs. I really like that I can turn up the volume on my DVDs. It is a great feature! I also like that it gives me a lot of options when choosing how to copy and convert my DVDs. I tried some other DVD software and researched others and this seems to be the best! I am glad that I bought this software!

TOP 2. Handbrake
   

     
Handbrake is our favorite video encoder for its simple, easy-to-use, easy-to-install, and powerful tweaking options to get the best convert quality as a result. It’s a open source tool for converting video and DVD to nearly any format, available for Windows, Linux or Mac OS X. It’s perfect but only can read and transcode non-protected DVD. For it is illegal. So you need to use a 3rd-party software to remove the proctection first, then read and rip the DVD with Handbrake. 

TOP 3. AnyDVD
   
 
    
AnyDVD (which rips DVDs only) and AnyDVD HD (which supports Blu-rays and HD DVDs) both scored praise from readers for their solid feature set and frequent updates to get around the copy protection that many disc publishers include . The app can handle unwanted DRM, remove region restrictions, disables forced subtitles or delays, and even plays nice with DVD authoring tools if you’re backing up your movies. You can try AnyDVD for free, but its features will cost you: AnyDVD is 49EURand AnyDVD HD is 79EUR. 
   
Handbrake vs. AnyDVD vs. Pavtube DVDAID: Good & Bad

1. Pavtube DVDAID

As a professional and powerful all-in-one DVD disc handling tool, Pavtube integrates DVD Ripping, Conversion, and Backup.

The bad: Although the interface is easy to understant, it need to be improved.

2. Handbrake 

The good: A very great feature is Handbrake is designed with preset profiles for Apple iPhone, iPad, iPod and Apple TV. It also provides numerous video and audio parameter settings for advanced users to alter the file size and video quality.

The bad: This free DVD ripper only works well with personal DVDs that you have purchased. If you want to rip some encrypted commercial DVD movies

3. AnyDVD

The good: You can control the drive speed of your DVD drive, allowing you to reduce the noise level when watching movies on your PC. You can even adjust the display frequency of your monitor for both NTSC and PAL displays. Additionally, AnyDVD can remove unwanted movie features, including subtitles and prohibition messages such as copyright and FBI warnings. 
The bad: The bad: For Audio CD, only protection removing is available. There is no help file to properly explain all the options to less experienced users.

The bad: The AnyDVD is no time estimation for job completion when copying a DVD Video disc and too many updates, but have no one time fee with lifetime update and technical support. It does not support convert DVD to many kinds of formats and put to device. 

Conclusion:
  
All above the Features to best DVD ripping software, the Pavtube DVDAid is proved to be the best DVD ripper for Android tablet/phone. It ranks top on the DVD ripping application list for almost every aspect except for interface design. Next month, this software will have a special offer with 30% for summary holiday.

Share news for movie Fans: DVD films of this week - June 24 2014

There are many wonderful DVD movies last week. what kind of DVD will come out? Are you a movie fan like me,I have been searched online but not sure which is the best one. so, the following list are the movies that audiences will be able to enjoy this weekend. 
   
After a great movie “Endless Love” , here are list of three good evaluation movie you can have a see:   
   
1.300: Rise of an Empire    June 24 
 
 
   
"300: Rise of an Empire" - The Warner Bros sequel is the biggest release of the week. The movie tells the story of Greek general Themistokles who leads the charge against invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes and Artemisia. The film, which was directed by Noam Muro, scored mixed reviews and grossed $106 million at the box office. The sequel was not as successful as the 2006 actioner which made $210 million. The reason for a lackluster box office was the result of little buzz and no hype. However "Rise of an Empire" has a chance of gaining some traction on DVD and on demand as it is the perfect summer blockbuster that audiences are into at the moment. It also serves as an option for those moviegoers who are not in mood to go to the movies. 

2. Winter's Tale              June 24 
 
 
 
"Winter's Tale" - Warner Bros will also release the fantasy tale starring Colin Firth, Jessica Brown Findlay, Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly. Directed by Akiva Goldsman, the film tells the story of a burglar who falls in love with an heiress as she dies in his arms. When he learns that he has the gift of reincarnation, he sets out on a journey to save her.  The movie was released on Feb 14 in hopes that it would be the perfect date movie but the results were poor. The movie not only received negative reviews but only made $12 million after having opened to $7 million. Warner Bros will attempt to regain some of its losses on DVD and try to attract females who have been very active movie goers during the summer season. The release is good counter programming especially with the lack of female driven films and with none coming out in the next few weeks, "Winter's Tale" could easily recuperate some of the money it lost at the box office earlier this year.  

3. Repentence     June 24 

   
"Repentence" - This Lionsgate drama was one of the most ignored releases in February. The movie, starring Forest Whitaker and Anthony Mackie, tells the story of a successful author and spiritual advisor who takes on a troubled man as a client, completely unaware that the man's fixation on his mother's death will soon put his life in jeopardy. The movie opened in 152 theaters and ended its run making only $1.1 million. The drama is likely to attract Whitaker fans but at a time when movie goers are looking for a fun action film, this movie is unlikely to get any more fandom. 

Hope this guide help you choose your favorite one and enjoy it with your family. Do you agree with me? Movies make our life colorful!

Nice movie review: Maleficent- “do not miss it!”

 
Summary:
  
A fairy who was deceived by human in pursuit of his dream of living in a castle – to be a king. Soon the King and the Queen had their first baby. During the grand christening, everyone in the kingdom was invited including the pixies when except for Maleficent. Unknowingly Maleficent came to join with the celebration and gave her gift to the Princess – she’ll prick her finger in a spindle before the sun set at the age of 16 and she will fall asleep just like death. Nothing can ever awake her except for a true love’s kiss. This curse can never be retracted even by the strongest force on Earth. Princess Aurora was then was left by the King and Queen in the custody of the pixies confident that the curse will never happen.

As Princess Aurora grows, Maleficent became fond of Princess Aurora that she loved her as if her own daughter however; no matter how she tried to revert back the curse; she’s always a failure. True enough, no force can ever take it back.

The time has come and the oath has happened. A prince charming came and kissed Princess Aurora but she never woke up. With all regret and sorrow, Maleficent kissed the Princess and she awoke – the kiss of a true love.

‘Jump Street’, ‘How to Train Your Dragon 2’ at top 2 spots


Sequels ruled the cineplex this weekend as young cops and a young dragon duked it out at the box office. 

"22 Jump Street”,  the follow-up to the 2012 comedy, scored a surprise win at theaters with $60 million, according to studio estimates from box office crunchers Rentrak. 

The debut exceeded the projections of analysts, who expected a neck-and-neck race between "Street"and the animated comedy "How to Train Your Dragon 2."Both were expected to collect about $50 million. 

But audiences were in the mood for a laugh. "Neighbors"marked the last broad comedy of summer, and that came out more than a month ago. Since then, moviegoers got a steady diet of action and drama. 

"Street"hit the funny bone of critics and fans, earning an 83 percent approval rating from critics, says Rotten Tomatoes. According to Cinemascore, audiences gave it a collective A-minus. 

"Dragon"was no slouch, taking second place. And it could have legs, thanks to reviews and word of mouth. About 92 percent of critics gave that movie a thumbs-up, while audiences gave it a straight A. 

 
Both films also ended the two-week run of original films ruling the box office. Along with "Maleficent,"the teen drama "Fault in Our Stars"topped theaters. Still, analysts say, studios did sequels right this time. 

"Hollywood may be mostly out of ideas,"says Reagan Sulewski, analyst for Box Office Prophets. "But the ideas they’re reusing, at least this weekend, are pretty strong.” 

"Maleficent"was third with $19 million, followed by the Tom Cruise action film "Edge of Tomorrow"with $16.2 million. "Stars"rounded out the top five with $15.7 million.

The Rover review – an Australian road movie that runs out of road

Robert Pattinson proves his acting chops in David Michod's mysterious follow-up to Animal Kingdom – it's just a shame it squanders its early promise. 
 

 
It’s time to put away those Robert Pattinson jokes – the kid can act. He showed more attachment to the elephant in Water for Elephants than co-star Reese Witherspoon, but then he probably knew better how it felt:Twilight turned him into the most gawped at mammal on the planet. He cut like a blade through the first film, cheekbones set to stun, as pale as a rock star in recovery, summoning a palpable sense of threat. 

The series emasculated Edward as it wore on, shoving him to the side of the action, while Bella grew increasingly impatient – it was the only vampire series in which the vampires were afraid of the virgins, and exploited Pattinson’s greatest flaw as an actor: his passivity. He was coolly dissipated in David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis, as a megastar essaying the end of the world in blacked-out limo shades, but the film, and the role, both stayed well within the confines of the comfortably numb. In his new film, The Rover, Pattinson tries a different tack in his pursuit of a world seen without yellow contact lenses: he acts his socks off. 

When we first see him, he is face down in the Australian outback, bleeding out into the dirt. He’s been abandoned by his brother (Scoot McNairy), who heads up a gang of thugs making their getaway in a truck, with another member bleeding in the back. What they have done, or even who they are, is never made clear. The film, directed by David Michod, is set “10 years after the collapse”, in a future where resources like petrol and water have gone much the same place as the world’s reserves of narrative exposition. 

The whole thing is told in the mythic-elliptic style first pioneered in the spaghetti westerns of Sergio Leone and later retrofitted as pulp by George Miller in the Mad Max films, where the post-apocalypse means never having to explain yourself. This movie gives nothing up. 

So we never find out the exact circumstances that led to Pattinson being left for dead, or why he is speaking in a southern white trash accent, while everyone else speaks Australian, or why he is being hunted by squadron of American soldiers. Did he desert? What is important is that he crosses paths with Guy Pearce, about whom we know even less, except that a) he never cracks a smile, b) he looks pissed even before the gang make off with his car, and c) he wants it back. That’s how mythic he is: his character is carved out in the dust cloud left by his actions. He’s the Man With No Ride Home.

Film Review: ‘Burning Blue’

 
Top guns in love struggle against institutional homophobia in a tone-deaf melodrama well past its sell-by date. 

When Quentin Tarantino riffed on the homoeroticism of “Top Gun” in his famous cameo from the otherwise forgotten 1994 indie “Sleep With Me,” little could he have known that, two decades later, the LGBT community would get a fighter-jock opus to call its very own. Optimistically dubbed “Brokeback Top Gun” in some quarters of the Internet, writer-director DMW Greer’s “Burning Blue” certainly harbors such outsized ambitions, but they’re poorly matched by Greer’s leaden direction and a didactic screenplay about the tortured lives of military personnel living in the shadow of President Clinton’s “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. Bearing a distinctly musty odor confirmed by its 2011 copyright date, this day-and-date Lionsgate pickup never achieves dramatic liftoff.

Poorly concealing its origins as a stage play (first produced in London in 1995), “Burning Blue” unfolds mostly as a series of stilted, talky scenes set in and around a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier where a couple of hotshot pilots find themselves getting too close for Uncle Sam’s comfort, in and out of the cockpit. To all outward appearances, Lts. Daniel Lynch (Trent Ford) and Matthew Blackwood (Rob Mayes) are a couple of straightlaced — and straight — young recruits with loyal wives/girlfriends waiting for them at home and, if they play their cards right, a couple of highly competitive slots at the Navy’s Test Pilot School. But all those smoldering glances Lynch keeps trading with the guitar-strumming Blackwood in their shared barracks come to a head during a night of shore leave in New York that begins like “On the Town” and ends up somewhere close to “Cruising.”

Greer, who was a Navy chopper pilot himself, certainly deserves credit for wanting to shine a light on the difficult lives of LGBT servicemen working in a climate of thinly veiled persecution — a situation, an end title card informs, that has only marginally improved since the repeal of “Don’t ask, don’t tell” in 2011. But good intentions don’t count for much in art, especially when Greer muddies his own with a fairly ludicrous subplot involving a dogged NCIS investigator who suspects that a “gay cult” may be responsible for three seemingly unrelated fatal flight accidents (the implication being that a gay soldier would rather crash and burn than risk being outed).

It doesn’t help matters that Ford and Mayes both seem to have been chiseled from the same block of wood, with no fairy godmother around to turn them into real live boys. Even if they did, they’d still have to speak or react to dialogue like “Taxpayers get nervous if they start hearing their warriors sniveling” and “We are warriors paid to defend the country, not spill our guts and frolic in the daisies” — a mission that might have stymied even Laurence Olivier.

Given its subject matter, “Burning Blue” turns out to be a surprisingly chaste affair, though nearly all of the actors — even those playing allegedly straight characters — seem to have been directed by Greer to leer at one another with the intensity of sex-starved Victorian maidens. Of the principals, only William Lee Scott shows signs of a real personality as a coy Southern pilot who doesn’t ask or tell, but always seems to be one step ahead of the game. Staged with a complete lack of visual energy, the pic manages to make even its occasional shots of fighter jets in flight about as exciting as a minivan rounding a corner.

Movie review: ‘Fault’ moving, not mawkish

  
Last summer, “The Spectacular Now” was the teen-trauma film of note, being based on a well-regarded bestseller and starring an up-and-coming Shailine Woodley. 

This year, it's “The Fault in Our Stars,” which shares many attributes with its predecessor including having roots in a popular young-adult novel, screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, and a much-better known Woodley, who moved up to star status with “Divergent” earlier this year. 

Like “Spectacular,” it walks that fine line between moving and mawkish without falling too far over to the latter side. Unlike that earlier film, though, which didn't make a huge splash in the mainstream, “Fault” looks to become the teary alternative to all the boom and bang of the summer superheroes. 

Woodley plays Hazel, the typical outgoing teen-next-door living the middle-class life in suburban Indiana: Except she has cancer, and has to travel with an oxygen tank wherever she goes. One of those places is a youth support group where she meets newcomer Gus (Ansel Elgort, also from “Divergent”), who has lost a leg to his disease. 

They strike up a friendship that quickly escalates into something more as they wrestle with issues of fate and mortality. As with “The Spectacular Now,” it's refreshing to see teenage relationships handled with grace and depth instead of the usual snark and cynicism. Director Josh Boone (“Stuck in Love”) stays out of the way stylistically and lets the considerable naturalistic chemistry between Elgort and Woodley be the draw. 

Their conversations, wavering between youthful bravado and grim determinism, feel authentic as does their budding romance. That's no doubt due in some part to John Green's book on which the film is based. 

Nat Wolff (“Palo Alto,” “Admission”) as mutual friend Isaac, a support-group member who is losing his sight because of cancer, seems at first an awkward attempt at comic relief, but his role deepens as events become more serious. 

That doesn't mean there aren't moments that ring false. Laura Dern, as Hazel's concerned mom, is one-dimensional while Willem Dafoe as Van Houten, an author who has been inspirational to Hazel, is painted in such cartoonish strokes that he seems more like a convenient plot point than a real person. Also, at just over two hours, “Fault” sometimes moves slowly and veers frustratingly close to TV-movie-of-the-week territory. 

Still, that doesn't dim the bright light at the heart of the story. That's really the only special effect that this film requires.
