Little Big Soldier 2010

"Little Big Soldier" is absolutely an odd-couple alley flick set during China's Warring States period. The war drama, spiced with the accepted Jackie Chan comedy, has been Jackie's abstraction for 20 years afore assuredly hitting the big screen. Chan had initially planned to ball the role of the adolescent accepted but accepting age-old since, he has to achieve for the role of the aged soldier.

Well, accepting apparent Jackie as the titular character, I accept no complaints. He provides the role with its requisite agreeableness and acquaintance that it is so accessible to basis for him. A auspicious change from cool comedies like "The Spy Next Door", I may add.

Jackie plays an bearding soldier from the Liang State who survives an ambuscade by Qin armament that decimates the 2000-strong Liang army. The average soldier, who feigns afterlife rather than fight, captures a adolescent Wei accepted (Wang Leehom) and affairs to 'trade' him for a artifice of acreage as reward.

Along the way, however, captor and bound face a host of mishaps, misadventures and artifice twists - and they accept to aggregation up in adjustment to survive.

As Jackie's own project, you can be abiding of the brand Jackie stunts and angel boosts. Playing a agriculturalist forcibly affected into war, Jackie's bulletin (or ego massage) is that war is bad for the people, birds and the environment. He throws in lots of ball and sometimes the ball borders on the ridiculous.

Still, these are forgivable because it is accessible to like Jackie's and LeeHom's characters. They accept a sparkling awning allure that helps us discount the plot-holes and lapses in logic. What's added important is that "Little Big Soldier" has a cornball feel, reminding us of Jackie's abstract like "Drunken Master" and "Snake In The Eagle's Shadow"

Enter The World Avatar

Avatar is a 2009 American science fiction epic film written and directed by James Cameron and starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez and Stephen Lang. The film is set in the year 2154, when humans are mining a precious mineral called unobtanium on the lush moon Pandora in the Alpha Centauri star system.[5] The expansion of the mining colony threatens the continued existence of a local tribe of Na'vi—a sentient humanoid species which is indigenous to Pandora. The film's title refers to the genetically engineered Na'vi bodies used by several human characters to interact with the natives of Pandora.[6]

Development on Avatar began in 1994, when Cameron wrote an 80-page scriptment for the film.[7] Filming was supposed to take place after the completion of Cameron's 1997 film Titanic, for a planned release in 1999,[8] but according to Cameron, the necessary technology was not yet available to portray his vision of the film.[9] Work on the language for the film's extraterrestrial beings began in summer 2005, and Cameron began developing the script and fictional universe in early 2006.[10][11]

Avatar was officially budgeted at $237 million.[2] Other estimates put the cost between $280 million and $310 million for production, and at $150 million for promotion.[12][13][14] The film was released for traditional two-dimensional projection, as well as in 3-D, using the RealD 3D, Dolby 3D, XpanD 3D and IMAX 3D formats. The film was touted as a breakthrough in filmmaking technology, for its development of 3D viewing and stereoscopic filmmaking with cameras that were specially designed for the film's production.[15]

Avatar premiered in London on December 10, 2009, and was released internationally on December 16, and in North America on December 18, to critical acclaim and commercial success.[16][17][18] The film broke several box office records during its release and became the highest-grossing film of all time worldwide, surpassing Titanic,[19] which had held the record for the previous 12 years. It also became the first film to gross more than $2 billion.[20] Following the film's success, Cameron stated that there will be a sequel.[21] Avatar has been nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.[22]

In 2154, the RDA corporation is mining Pandora, a lush, Earth-like moon of the planet Polyphemus[23] in the Alpha Centauri star system,[5] for its reserves of a valuable mineral called unobtanium. Pandora's atmosphere is toxic to humans, forcing them to use breathing masks. Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi) heads the mining operation, which employs private military contractors for security.

Pandora is inhabited by the Na'vi, a ten-foot-tall blue-skinned species of sapient humanoids,[24] who live in harmony with nature, worshiping a mother goddess called Eywa. To facilitate relations with the Na'vi and research of Pandora's biosphere, scientists grow Na'vi-human hybrids called avatars, controllable via mental link by genetically matching humans.[25] Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a paraplegic former Marine, replaces his twin brother, a scientist trained as an avatar operator but murdered in a robbery. Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver), head of the Avatar Program, considers Sully an inadequate replacement for his brother and assigns him as a bodyguard.

Grace, anthropologist Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore) and Jake leave the base in their avatar forms to collect biological samples and data in the forest. A thanator's attack separates Jake from the group. Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), a female Na'vi, rescues Jake lost in the forest and brings him to Hometree, the habitat for her clan, the Omaticaya. Neytiri's mother Mo'at (C. C. H. Pounder), the clan's spiritual leader, shows interest in the "warrior dreamwalker" and instructs her daughter to teach Jake their ways.

RDA's head of security colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) promises Jake treatment for his paraplegia in exchange for intelligence about the Na'vi that would enable RDA to vacate Hometree of the natives and get access to the unobtanium beneath it. As Jake starts delivering information to Quaritch, Grace becomes suspicious and relocates herself, Jake and Norm to a remote outpost with avatar link units. Over three months, Jake grows close to Neytiri and the Omaticaya, eventually rejecting RDA's agenda. After Jake is initiated into the Omaticaya, he and Neytiri choose each other as mates. Jake reveals his change of allegiance when he disables a bulldozer as it destroys the tribe's Tree of Voices. Quaritch presents Selfridge with Jake's video diary, in which Jake admits that the Omaticaya will never abandon Hometree. Selfridge orders Hometree destroyed.

Despite Grace's argument that the destruction of Hometree could affect the bio-botanical neural network that Pandoran organisms are connected to, Selfridge gives Jake and Grace one hour to convince the Na'vi to leave Hometree. Jake reveals his original mission to the Omaticaya, and Neytiri accuses him of betrayal. Jake and Grace's avatars are taken captive. Quaritch's forces destroy Hometree, killing Neytiri's father, the clan chief Eytucan (Wes Studi), and many others. Jake, Grace and Norm are imprisoned for betraying the RDA. Trudy Chacón (Michelle Rodriguez), a security force pilot disgusted with Quaritch's methods, breaks them out, flies them to the outpost and helps relocate it. During the escape Quaritch shoots Grace, seriously wounding her.

To regain the Omaticaya's trust, Jake tames a Toruk, a powerful flying beast that only five Na'vi have ever tamed. Jake finds the Omaticaya at the sacred Tree of Souls and pleads with Mo'at to heal Grace. The clan attempts to transfer Grace from her dying human body into her unconscious avatar with the aid of the Tree, but she succumbs to her injuries before the transfer is complete. Mo'at declares that "she is with Eywa now".

With the assistance of Neytiri and the new leader of the Omaticaya Tsu'Tey (Laz Alonso), Jake unites thousands of warriors from many Na'vi clans in a bid to repel the humans. Jake prays to Eywa, via neural connection to the Tree of Souls, to intercede on behalf of the Na'vi in the coming battle. Quaritch notes the mobilization of the Na'vi and convinces Selfridge to authorize a preemptive strike on the Tree of Souls, reckoning that the destruction of this hub of Na'vi religion and culture will demoralize them into submission.

As the security forces attack, the Na'vi retaliate but suffer heavy casualties, including Tsu'Tey and Trudy. Suddenly, the Pandoran wildlife joins the attack on the corporation's forces, overwhelming them, an event that Neytiri interprets as Eywa answering Jake's prayer. Jake destroys the bomber before it can reach the Tree of Souls. Quaritch finds the avatar link unit where Jake's human body is located and attacks it, exposing Jake to Pandora's atmosphere. Neytiri kills Quaritch and saves Jake. With the attack repelled, Neytiri and Jake reaffirm their love as she sees his human body for the first time.

Selfridge and the remaining corporate personnel are expelled from Pandora, while Jake, Norm, and other scientists are allowed to remain. Jake is seen wearing the insignia of the Omaticaya leader. The clan performs the ritual that permanently transfers Jake from his human body into his Na'vi avatar.

Alvin and the Chipmunks 2

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel is a 2009 American live-action/CGI comedy film and sequel to Alvin and the Chipmunks starring Jason Lee, Zachary Levi, David Cross, and Wendie Malick. The film also stars the voices of Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler, Jesse McCartney, Christina Applegate, Anna Faris, and Amy Poehler.

The film features Alvin and the Chipmunks and their female counterparts, The Chipettes. It was directed by Betty Thomas, written by Jon Vitti and Jonathan Aibel & Glenn Berger, and distributed by 20th Century Fox, and produced by Regency Enterprises and Bagdasarian Productions. It was originally scheduled to open on March 19, 2010, but it was moved up to a December 23, 2009, release instead. In Australia, it was released on December 26.

During the Chipmunks' benefit concert in Paris, France, David Seville (Jason Lee) is badly injured after a falling billboard sends him flying across the stage into electric devices. After the accident, he is rushed to the hospital. Although he survives, he must stay to recuperate. He tells Alvin (voiced by Justin Long), Simon (voiced by Matthew Gray Gubler), and Theodore (voiced by Jesse McCartney) that while he is away, he has asked his Aunt Jackie to look after the Chipmunks, and that he has also made arrangements for them to go to school. They head to the airport, where the Chipmunks meet up with Jackie, who introduces her grandson Toby (Zachary Levi). After Jackie falls down a staircase and a luggage trolley crashes into her, she too is sent to a hospital, leaving Toby in charge.

Meanwhile, Ian Hawke (David Cross), former manager, now lives in the basement of Jett Records. Three singing female chipmunks, Brittany (voiced by Christina Applegate), Jeanette (voiced by Anna Faris), and Eleanor (voiced by Amy Poehler),who call themselves the Chipettes, emerge from a package and introduce themselves to Ian. Brittany says that since Ian made the Chipmunks stars, they want to be stars too. To prove their talent, they sing "Put Your Records On" and Ian hires them.

The tension between Alvin and Simon builds as Alvin hangs out with the jocks of the school, but the one who is most affected is Theodore who believes he is losing his brothers because they are fighting all the time.

The Chipmunks meet the Chipettes and gains crushes for their counterparts, but are soon forced to have a rivalry after discovering that they are with Ian. The Chipmunks and the Chipettes compete against each other in a Battle of the Bands. During lunchtime, Alvin meets up with Brittany, sharing a slightly romantic moment with her until he warns her about what Ian did to him and his brothers, but Brittany does not believe him. At the concert, the Chipettes sing "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)". Ian videotapes the Chipettes performance and posts it on YouTube, along with his phone number. The Chipettes win the competition and Ian became rich and famous again after Simon and Theodore forfeit the competition because Alvin failed to show up. Alvin later shows up only to see that everyone's gone. When Alvin returns home, Simon and Theodore pretend they're sleeping and ignore him. The embarrassment is too much for Theodore to take so he runs away to the zoo. When Toby and the boys find him and save him from an eagle, it brings out the best in all four of them and the Chipmunks all forgive each other and go back to "One for all, and three for one," as Theodore had said.

Soon, the Chipettes are hired as the opening act at a Britney Spears concert at the Staples Center. Unfortunately, the concert is on the same night as the school concert, so Ian decides to blow off the battle and make the Chipettes perform at the concert. However, since he focuses on Brittany the most, he wants her to perform onstage alone while Jeanette and Eleanor sing backup. Brittany refuses to sing without her sisters, so Ian threatens to send them to a barbecue restaurant if they refuse and was kidnapped by Ian after they realized that Ian just use them to become rich.

At the school, Toby gets a phone call from Ian, and Alvin answers it, but he learns that it's from Brittany, saying that she and her sisters have been locked in a cage. Alvin is able to free the girls from Ian and are able to get away and head back top the school. Simon and Theodore are about to forfeit the concert again, but Toby tries to stall the crowd. Alvin and the Chipettes fly into the hall on the helicopter and they all sing "We Are Family". Dave then arrives and watches them perform.

The Chipettes are taken in at the boys' request and sleep at the Chipmunks' house where Dave wishes them good night, but Alvin refuses to go to sleep. So, while Dave turns off the lights, Alvin turns them back on. Dave eventually gets irritated, and goes over to Alvin, who turns off the lights, causing Dave to trip over a skateboard. Exhausted, Alvin turns on the lights, and wishes Dave good-night, turns off the lights, and the movie ends with Dave yelling "ALVIN!"

In an epilogue, the jocks are shown scraping gum off the bleachers while Dr. Rubin watches over them.

In the post-credits, Ian is shown being thrown into a dumpster backstage by the guards.
