Sci-fi 2011 Movies | Source Code Directed By Duncan Jones

Storyline: Colter Stevens, a US Army helicopter pilot whose last memory is flying in Afghanistan, wakes up on a commuter train. However, he discovers that he has assumed the identity of another man. 8 minutes later, the train explodes and Stevens finds himself in some kind of pod. He then talks to someone named Goodwin, who tells him he has to go back and find out who the bomber is. He is sent back to go through the whole thing again and attempts to find who the bomber is but fails. The bomb goes off and Stevens finds himself in the pod again. He is sent back another time, yet still cannot find out anything. When he returns, he asks what is going on. Goodwin and Rutledge, the scientist in charge, tell him that he is part of a project that can put someone in another person's consciousness during the last 8 minutes of their life. Stevens then asks why he cannot just stop the bomb. He is told that...

Tagline: Make every second count
Trivia for "8 minutos antes de morir"

None of the sessions in the Source Code actually last 8 minutes of screentime. The third session is the longest, taking 7 minutes and 30 seconds.



Goofs
for "Code Source"

Continuity: The clocks on the train station show different times.

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The conductor always asks Colter for his ticket, but for some reason never asks Christina for hers.


Continuity:
During one of the first missions, Stevens gets in a fight and falls on the train track, the very same the the blown-up train rode on. Stevens is then hit by a train on the very same track, which wouldn't be possible.



Memorable Quotes for "Código Fuente"

[first lines]
Christina Warren: I took your advice. It was good advice, thank you.

Dr. Rutledge: This is not time travel. This is time re-assignment.

Colter Stevens: Tell me everything gonna be okay.
Christina Warren: Everything's gonna be okay.
[train explodes]

Colter Stevens: What would you do if you knew you only had one minute to live?
Christina Warren: I'd make those seconds count.
Colter Stevens: I'd kiss you again.
Christina Warren: Again?
[he kisses her]

Colter Stevens: Lily awoke in an evening dress and an opera cloak. In her hand were 5 playing cards. At some point today, you're gonna hear about a failed terrorist attack on a commuter train near Chicago. You and I kept that bomb from going off. If you're reading this e-mail, then Source Code works even better than you and Dr. Rutledge imagined. You thought you were creating 8 minutes of a past event, but you're not. You've created a whole new world. Goodwin, if I'm right, somewhere at the Source Code facility, you have a Capt. Colter Stevens waiting to send on a mission. Promise me you'll help him. And when you do, do me a favor: tell him everything is gonna be okay.

Mystery Movies | Limitless Directed By Neil Burger

Storyline: An action-thriller about a writer who takes an experimental drug that allows him to use 100 percent of his mind. As one man evolves into the perfect version of himself, forces more corrupt than he can imagine mark him for assassination. Out-of-work writer Eddie Morra's (Cooper) rejection by girlfriend Lindy (Abbie Cornish) confirms his belief that he has zero future. That all vanishes the day an old friend introduces Eddie to NZT, a designer pharmaceutical that makes him laser focused and more confident than any man alive. Now on an NZT-fueled odyssey, everything Eddie's read, heard or seen is instantly organized and available to him. As the former nobody rises to the top of the financial world, he draws the attention of business mogul Carl Van Loon (De Niro), who sees this enhanced version of Eddie as the tool to make billions. But brutal side effects jeopardize his meteoric ascent...

Runtime: 105 min
Taglines: What if a pill could make you rich and powerful?




Trivia for "Sin Límites"

Morra, Bradley Cooper's character's last name, is the imperative of "to die" in Brazilian Portuguese, which means the name of the character is something like "Edward Dies" or "Edward Die!".


Goofs for "Sem Limites"

Plot holes: During the realtor's presentation it is shown that the "vault grade door" has multiple bolts that go into the steel frame. The Russians only cut out the one lock at the door handle.



Memorable Quotes for "Sans limites"

Eddie Morra: A tablet a day and I was Limitless.

Eddie Morra: [to Carl Van Loon] No scenario? I see every scenario, I see 50 scenarios, that's what it does Carl - it puts me 50 moves ahead of you.


Eddie Morra: You see that guy? That was me not so long ago. What kind of guy without a drug or alcohol problem looks this way? Only a writer.

Eddie Morra: I don't have delusions of grandeur, I have an actual recipe for grandeur.

Eddie Morra: Well, in order for a career to evolve, I'm gonna have to move on.
Carl Van Loon: And you would even think that, would only show me how unprepared you are to be on your own. I mean you do know you're a freak? Your deductive powers are a gift from God or chance or a straight shot of sperm or whatever or whoever wrote your life-script. A gift, not earned. You do not know what I know because you have not earned those powers. You're careless with those powers, you flaunt them and you throw them around like a brat with his trust-fund. You haven't had to climb up all the greasy little rungs. You haven't been bored blind at the fundraisers. You haven't done the time and that first marriage to the girl with the right father. You think you can leap over all in a single bound. You haven't had to bribe or charm or threat your way to a seat at that table. You don't know how to assess your competition because you haven't competed. Don't make me your competition.

Adventure Movies | Thor Directed By Kenneth Branagh



The powerful but arrogant warrior Thor is cast out of the fantastic realm of Asgard and sent to live amongst humans on Earth, where he soon becomes one of their finest defenders.

Loading the player ...

Runtime: 115 min

Taglines
Two worlds. One hero.
Courage is immortal
The god of thunder. The king of Asgard. The god of mischief. The guardian of worlds. The goddess of war. The woman of science.

The title of the film doesn't appear until the end credits.



Goofs: Factual errors: Tasers used as depicted cannot knock people out. They are an immobilizer used to gain compliance via pain.


Trivia: It's mentioned in passing that Thor's hammer was forged inside "a dying star". This actually makes a modicum of scientific sense. When a very large star dies in a supernova, sometimes its remains collapse to form a "neutron star". These objects cram the mass of the sun into the size of a city, forming a new kind of matter nicknamed neutronium. A single teaspoon of this material would weigh billions of tonnes. If Mjolnir was made of this material, it would certainly explain its incredible weight.



Quotes

Agent Coulson: [interrogating Thor] It's not easy to do what you did. You made my men, some of the most highly trained professionals in the world look like a bunch of minimum-wage mall cops. In my experience, it takes someone who's received similar training to do what you did to them. Why don't you tell me where you received that training? Afghanistan, Chechnya? No, you strike me more as the soldier of fortune type. Who are you?

Agent Cale: [staring at The Destroyer] Is that one of Stark's?
Agent Coulson: I don't know. Guy never tells me anything.

Thor: My friends, have you forgotten all that we have done together? Fandral, Hogun, who led you into the glorious of battles?
Hogun: You did.
Thor: And, Volstagg, who introduced you to delicacies so succulent you thought you'd died and gone to Valhalla?
Volstagg: [chuckles] You did.
Thor: And who proved wrong all who scoffed at the idea that a young maiden could be one of the fiercest warriors this realm has ever known?
Sif: I did!
Thor: True, but I supported you, Sif.

Thor: [walking into a pet shop] I need a horse!

Action Movies | I Am Number Four Directed By D.J. Caruso


PLOT: Aliens and their Guardians are hiding on Earth from intergalactic bounty hunters. They can only be killed in numerical order, and Number Four is next on the list. This is his story.

The studio tried to recreate the success of Twilight with this film by marketing it as a "Twilight for boys". Although a box office success, the movie did not create the hundreds of millions that the Twilight films grossed. Although, this movie won a Teen Choice Award in the category Choice Movie Breakout: Male for Alex Pettyfer.

I AM NUMBER 4 MISTAKES:
Plot holes: When Henri gives John his phone, he informs him that he'll be calling every hour John is on his own to make sure he's okay, and if John doesn't pick up, Henri will know something is wrong (implying he'll assume the Mogs have attacked John and will come looking for him). During dinner at Sarah's, John reluctantly surrenders his phone after noticing three missed calls from Henri. Despite the fact that John had not answered his phone for three hours, Henri did nothing about it, and does not even mention it at all afterward.


Continuity: During the scene where John throws the football back at Mark's friend, Sarah is just getting her camera out and doesn't take pictures of John until after he throws the football. However, when John is looking at her website later, there are a sequence of photos of him throwing the football.  

Continuity: When John and Nicole are making out in the water (about 5 feet deep) at the beginning of the movie they are far away from the other people at the beach party. When John's leg starts glowing she has to swim to shore and then run to the other people. But in the video from the website they are in shallow water (2-3 feet deep) and the person filming them is apparently quite close as the video is very clear and close up.

USA Movies | Battle Los Angeles Directed By Jonathan Liebesman


Los Angeles and other cities around the world are being bombarded by meteors that seem to be slowing down once they hit the earth's atmosphere. The earth is suddenly being invaded by space aliens that have landed off the shore of LA, and who begin killing everybody along the beach. The military is ordered into action. Marine Staff Sergeant Nantz (Aaron Eckhart), who was about to retire, is reassigned to a new platoon. The platoon, flown by chopper to the forward operating base at Santa Monica Airport, is being led by a new 2nd Lt. Martinez (Ramon Rodriguez). They are sent on a mission to rescue some civilians who are trapped at the police station within alien territory. They only have 3 hours to complete their mission and get out before the Air Force bombs that zone. 1 win and 1 nomination


The film is inspired by the real life incident known as the Battle of Los Angeles, during World War II. On the night of 24-25 February 1942, unidentified aircraft were allegedly spotted in the airspace above Los Angeles. Suspecting it to be the Japanese, a blackout of the city was ordered and over 1,440 rounds of anti-aircraft ammunition was fired. Upon finding no evidence of the existence of any enemy aircraft, the incident was declared to be a "false alarm". The event has since been chalked up to as being a result of "war nerves", likely triggered by a lost weather balloon and exacerbated by stray flares and shell bursts from adjoining anti-aircraft batteries.

Runtime: 116 min

Very little of the film was actually shot in Los Angeles. Tax incentives brought the production to Louisiana where sets of Los Angeles streets were constructed.

Aaron Eckhart broke his arm while filming a stunt. He never missed a day of work because of it.

Due to script changes, 'Michelle Rodriguez''s character wasn't added until a month before filming began.


The officer referred to by Sgt. Nantz on the bus in reference to the line "Retreat Hell" is Capt. Lloyd W. Williams of the 2nd Battalion 5th Marines.When advised to withdraw by a French officer at the defensive line just north of the village of Lucy-le-Bocage on June 1st, 1918, he is said to have replied: "Retreat? Hell, we just got here!". Captain Williams died 11 days later near Chateau-Thierry.

Goofs 

Factual errors: Public transit buses don't require a key to start, so there is no need to "hot wire" one.
Factual errors: The laser used to "paint" the target is depicted as a red laser. Lasers used for this purpose are not in the visible spectrum.

Drama Movies | That's What I Am Directed By Michael Pavone


 Tagline:I'm a Teacher. I'm a Singer. I'm a Writer.

That's What I Am is a drama film starring Ed Harris and Chase Ellison. The film is directed by Michael Pavone. Its release date was April 29, 2011 in limited release, having been released on DVD about four weeks later.


Storyline

Set in California against the backdrop of the mid-sixties, That's What I Am is a coming-of-age story that follows 12-year-old Andy Nichol (Chase Ellison), a bright student who, like most kids his age, will do anything to avoid conflict for fear of suffering overwhelming ridicule and punishment from his junior high school peers. Everyone's favorite teacher, Mr. Simon (Ed Harris), pairs Andy with the school's biggest outcast and social pariah, Stanley aka "Big G" (Alexander Walters), on a critical school project. Sporting thick orange hair, a head too big for his body and ears too big for his head, "Big G" has been the object of ridicule since grade school. Before long, Andy will learn that there was truly a method behind Mr. Simon's madness as to why he teamed these two up. After a dramatic incident in the schoolyard, teachers and parents rethink their roles in school and society. Principal Kelner (Amy Madigan) suspends a school bully for brutally beating up a female classmate. The vindictive father of the bully makes Mr. Simon the target of a malicious rumor about his sexuality, causing Mr. Simon to question his calling as an educator and mentor to his students. When Andy watches "Big G" fearlessly confront the school bully about the incident, a series of events are triggered. Much to Andy's surprise, he learns that "Big G" is a brilliant, kind, tolerant human being, who has more dignity than anyone Andy has ever encountered. Big G personifies Mr. Simon's four word answer on how to obtain world peace.

Loading the player ...

Runtime: 101 min



Anachronisms: (At 1:31:45) When Andy is headed to Mr. Simon's house, a white 90s Lincoln Town Car can been seen in the background.



Anachronisms: The drum kit cymbals used during the talent show had Sabian cymbals. The company was founded in 1981 and never existed back in 1960's.



Andy Nichol: Why would God do that, mom? Make someone look like Big G? So that everyone makes fun of him?
Sherri Nichol: Maybe because God didn't see anything wrong with him in the first place. And Andy... His name is Stanley.



Our rating: 7/10
