Film Review: “Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones”Blu-ray movie

 Summary:

Directed, written by Christopher Landon, based on the film “Paranormal Activity” by Oren Peli. Camera (color), Gonzalo Amat; editor, Gregory Plotkin; production designer, Nathan Amondson;  set decorators, Teresa Visinare, Julie Ochipinti; costume designer, Marylou Lim; sound (Dolby Digital/Datasat), Walter Anderson, Ed Novick, Steve Nelson; re-recording mixers, Joe Dzuban, Daniel J. Leahy; visual effects supervisor, Woei Hsi Lee; visual effects, Atomic Fiction; special effects coordinator, Mark Gullesserian; stunt coordinators, David Rowden, Charlie Croughwell; assistant directors, Mark Anthony Little, Dale Stern; casting, Carla Hool. 

 
  
Pleasantly disposable 'Paranormal Activity' spinoff invests the found-footage horror franchise with some welcome diversity and humor.

It would be a wild exaggeration to suggest that “Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones” breathes new life into the increasingly fumes-fueled found-footage horror subgenre, but it certainly represents a shot in the arm for this series after 2012’s poorly regarded “Paranormal Activity 4.” Functioning more as a mythology-expanding spinoff than a proper sequel, this fifth installment (the first directed by longtime series writer Christopher Landon) smartly moves the setting away from airy suburbs to overcrowded working-class apartments, and introduces a winning sense of humor that almost compensates for its relentless reliance on every terror trope in the book. A pleasantly disposable slice of off-season chiller product, this Paramount release should easily win the weekend’s box-office race.

“47 Ronin”: The Inside Story of Universal’s Samurai Disaster

 
Director: Carl Rinsch
  
Writers:Chris Morgan (screenplay), Hossein Amini(screenplay), 2 more credits 
  
Stars: Keanu Reeves, Hiroyuki Sanada, Ko Shibasaki |See full cast and crew

Summary:
  
If ever a film was in need of an honourable death and a respectful burial it would be 47 Ronin, a cursed samurai epic that features a somnambulistic performance from a shell-shocked Keanu Reeves. Carl Rinsch's $175m drama was shot back in 2011 then found itself sat on the shelf for over a year, beset by bad omens and the stench of decay. It limps into cinemas and falls on its sword with a sigh.
Reeves is Kai, a disreputable mixed-race killing machine who rides to the aid of a band of exiled ronin in a mystical feudal Japan. Before long, our hero is slicing ogres, wrestling witches and romancing his lordship's daughter with the selfsame air of irritated bemusement. Meanwhile, ranked alongside him, the ronin (represented by a group of estimable Japanese actors) have their work cut out tackling reams of expository English-language dialogue. This dialogue appears to have leapt, fully formed, off the nearest idiot board.
47 Ronin is murky, muddled and leaden, although it's not quite the unmitigated disaster it's been cracked up to be. Rinsch's lethargic fantasy plotline at least comes leavened by some vibrant visual flourishes. I enjoyed the drifting ground fog that takes on human shapes, while the sorceress's green dress is made to twist and writhe like the bedclothes in an MR James ghost story. In the thick of the battle, Kai eventually proves his mettle and impresses his betters. They used to revile him and now they realise they love him. Kai accepts their grovelling apologies with a pained little frown. His thoughts, as ever, appear to be directed elsewhere.

Why is this man smiling?- “The Unknown known”


In Movie Theaters:     Wednesday, April 2, 2014   Limited   
Coming Soon (7 days) Watch Trailer
On Demand (VOD):     Friday, April 4, 2014
Coming Soon (9 days) Pre-Order or Reserve

Storyline:
Academy Award-winning director Errol Morris (The Fog of War) offers a mesmerizing portrait of Donald Rumsfeld, one of the key architects of the Iraq War, and a larger-than-life character who provoked equal levels of fury and adulation from the American public. Rather than conducting a conventional interview, Morris has Rumsfeld perform and expound on his “snowflakes,” tens of thousands of memos (many never previously published) he composed as a congressman and as an advisor to four different presidents, twice as Secretary of Defense. These memos provide a window onto history—not history as it actually happened, but history as Rumsfeld wants us to see it. Morris makes plain that Rumsfeld’s “snowflakes”—whether intended to elucidate, rationalize, obfuscate, or control history—are contradicted by the facts.

Additional Notes:
According to Errol Morris: "The Unknown Known: The Life and Times of Donald Rumsfeld is the story of a remarkable man whose career spans nearly one third of our nation's history. I am delighted to partner with The History Channel, Participant and RADIUS in this extraordinary project."

Filmed on location in Glasgow and Yorkshire.
James "The Colossus" Thompson is an Ultimate Combat World Heavy Weight Champion and will play a character named "The Berserker" in the film.

With production imminent and our lead cast in place we are all set for the goriest and most violent fight fest seen in our Outpost movies yet!"
This may have just been a joke, but one of the producers said that we'll see "Nazi Zombies cage fighting with Russian Special Forces!"
