"The Final Destination" (3D) Opens To Theaters

What are hitting theaters this weekend to finish up the 2009 summer movie season? "The Final Destination" or called "Final Destination 4" is franchise’s fourth and reportedly final installment of the gloriously schlocky thriller/horror flick series, and the first of the series in fusion 3D, which was shot over 60 days in New Orleans last summer, and opens today, comes three years after “Final Destination 3” made $113.3m worldwide.
By making sure no one dies of natural causes, director David R. Ellis and screenwriter Eric Bress, who co-wrote "Final Destination 2," have clearly given plenty of ghoulish thought to the visceral thrill of the 3D format, which might give it an edge, and offers a new perspective on the horror franchise, and indeed on ideas of life, death and destiny. It's just as bloody and fun as the previous three films.
IF you have seen any of the previous three Final Destination movies, you probably already know how it all works, or at least you think you do. You won't need a sixth sense to know what is coming. As usual a group of teenagers dodge an early grave when one of them, Nick O'Bannon (Bobby Campo) can see the future and uses the power to help his friends cheat death. They try to escape their fates, but death always catches up, and then pursues them to their ultimate destination. The difference here is that those of you near a digital cinema will be able to see people being sliced in half in 3D, a format that should intensify the visceral experience.
Eat your heart out, this 4th installment brings no fresh ideas to the mix is not a problem; the added dimension is a hugely entertaining carnival ride of elaborate, and more than enough to reinvigorate interest in this enduringly and deservedly popular New Line's series.

“Duplicity” (DVD) Hits Store Shelves Today

Following up his acclaimed legal thriller "Michael Clayton" and "Bourne" movies, writer/director Tony Gilroy takes a vacation with the deceptively lightweight "Duplicity," is supposedly one of the smartest screenwriters we've got. The film was released on March 20, and it's DVD/Blu-ray with featuring commentary will be available today.
The allure of this romance caper, Oscar winner Julia Roberts and Clive Owen star as two sexy spies-turned-corporate operatives in the midst of a clandestine love affair. When they find themselves on either side of an all-out corporate war between rival manufacturers, they'll put everything on the line to remain one double-cross ahead in a high stakes game of cat-and-mouse.
Carol Hemphill & Kent Tentschert Merriam-Webster defines the word, "duplicity," as "contradictory doubleness of thought, speech, or action," and Gilroy must love these contradictions. The ways in which the paranoid pair interact are complicated, and any clear description would introduce spoilers. Suffice it to say that this witty thriller-cum-romance explores the seductive power of the almighty dollar. It’s that great Julia and Owen chemistry dancing through Gilroy’s clever dialogue that makes this a crowd-pleaser.
"Duplicity" is well-crafted, smart, and often funny, but it’s mostly more cerebral than visceral and features far too many plot twists. As silly as the convoluted plot turns out to be, the movie is about the journey, not the destination. All moves, countermoves and double crosses keep you guessing until the finale.

"Inception" | The Teaser Trailer Debuted Online

Yahoo! Movies has just officially premiered the teaser trailer online today for "The Dark Knight" and "Batman Begins" director Christopher Nolan's upcoming sci-fi thriller film, "Inception". Just a few days after an IMDB report which described it appeared online that it involves "A CEO-type involved in a blackmail scandal." and after playing before "Inglourious Basterds" in some theaters during the weekend, we now have the first look for ourselves!
It's just a teaser in every sense of the word running about one-minute long with only a few snippets of footage. You won't get much else from it, and certainly nothing that tells you anything about a plot. The tagline says "Your mind is the scene of the crime," and Nolan himself has called it "a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind." It all looks wild though, particularly the glimpses we get of a fight sequence in a hallway, a very Dark Knight, chilling and Matrix-style.
In fact, with Nolan on board as the driving force, an estimated budget of $200 million, and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy and Michael Caine. While we still don't really have much of an idea of what the film is about, the teaser is certainly intriguing. The movie is due for release on July 16, 2010 by Warner Bros Pictures, and could be the dark horse of summer 2010, so keep your excitement to a minimum for now.
