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...

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...

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?

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.

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.

Thriller Movies | Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes Directed By Rupert Wyatt

Tagline: Evolution Becomes Revolution

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a 2011 American science fiction film directed by Rupert Wyatt. The film stars James Franco and Andy Serkis. It is a reboot of the Planet of the Apes series. It is intended to act as a foundation with its own origin story for a new film series. Its premise is similar to the fourth film in the original series, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972), but it is not a direct remake in that it does not fit into that series' continuity.



Storyline: During experiments to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease, a genetically-enhanced chimpanzee uses its greater intelligence to lead other apes to freedom.
Loading the player ...

Runtime: 105 min

Trivia

The name of Tom Felton's character Dodge Landon is a reference to the characters Dodge (Jeff Burton) and Landon (Robert Gunner), Colonel Taylor's (Charlton Heston) fellow astronauts in Planet of the Apes.

The orangutan character befriended by Caeser in prison is named Maurice after actor Maurice Evans, who played the orangutan Doctor Zaius in the original Planet Of the Apes (1968).

This is the second film in which Andy Serkis plays an ape, having previously portrayed 2005's version of King Kong. He was also the motion capture actor for Gollum in Lord of the Rings, where he bites off Frodo's finger. His ape character Caesar bites the neighbor's finger in this role, too.


The name given to Caesar's mother is "Bright Eyes" due to the coloration in her eyes caused by the ALZ-112 virus. "Bright Eyes" is the name given to Taylor (Charlton Heston) by Dr. Zira (Kim Hunter) in the original Planet of the Apes.

In one scene, Caesar is shown handling a 3D puzzle of the Statue of Liberty, in reference to the the ending of the original Planet of the Apes.

In one scene under the vault, Ceasar is taking the pose of The Thinker, by french sculptor August Rodin.

Caesar uses a bundle of sticks to explain to Maurice how an ape alone is weak but apes together are strong. The bundle of sticks, or fasces, was a symbol of authority in ancient Rome, the origin of Caesar's name. Caesar's charisma is also reminiscent of Benito Mussolini, who adopted the fasces as the symbol of his Italian Fascist party. The fasces or bundle of sticks concept is also used in several symbols in the architecture of the American White House and Captiol and is the subject of the Aesop fable "The Bundle of Sticks" about a father demonstrating to his sons how they should work together:

Caesar: [to Maurice in sign language] Ape alone... weak. Apes together strong.
Maurice: [to Caesar in sign language as they observe their fellow captive apes] Apes stupid. 

Goofs

Factual errors: Koba is a bonobo, this species of ape is not aggressive and the males don't lead the troop, females lead.
Factual errors: Primates' vocal cords are too low in the throat to make certain vowel sounds and thus, are unable to talk aside from guttural vocalizations.
Factual errors: When Caesar's mother is shown playing with a puzzle, it is referred to as the "Tower of Lucas." The puzzle is actually known as the "Tower of Hanoi," invented in 1883 by french mathematician Edouard Lucas.

Memorable Quotes

Steven Jacobs: You used an untested drug on your father. I could end your career with one phone call.
Will Rodman: Let me save you the trouble. I quit.

Dodge Landon: Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!
Caesar: NO!

Dodge Landon: It's a madhouse! A madhouse!

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941) Directed By Victor Fleming

Storyline: Dr. Jekyll believes good and evil exist in everyone. Experiments reveal his evil side, named Hyde. Experience teaches him how evil Hyde can be: he kills Ivy who earlier expressed interest in Jekyll and Sir Charles, Jekyll's faincee's father.

Genres: Drama | Horror | Sci-Fi





Taglines:
A Good Woman! A Bad Woman - who needed the love of both!
It CHILLS you! Half-MAN! Half-MONSTER!

Details
Country:USA
Release Date: September 1941 (USA)

Technical Specs
Runtime: 113 min | Germany: 90 min | Germany: 108 min (VHS version)


TRIVIA:

* Spencer Tracy's performance as Hyde was judged by the critics in 1941 to be inadequate, principally because he was not frightening enough. In addition, Tracy was considered "too American" and too "rough" to be believable as an upper-class doctor in Victorian London. He later received an amusing telegram from Fredric March, the star of the 1931 version, who said that his earlier performance as Hyde was always compared favorably with Tracy's. After watching the film, Tracy confided to a friend that he believed his acting career was over.

* The film was a notorious critical and commercial failure when released. Spencer Tracy later said it was by far the least favorite of the films he had starred in, and that his performance was "awful". The New York Times famously described it as "not so much evil incarnate as ham rampant ... more ludicrous than dreadful."

* Spencer Tracy's appearance as Mr Hyde was disguised in cinema trailers for fear that audiences would laugh at it.

* In the original theatrical version, once Dr. Jekyll is first transformed into Mr. Hyde, he walks up to a mirror in his laboratory. As he stares into it he questions his face saying such things as, "It's my face, yet it isn't" This is followed by him exclaiming, "Can this be evil?" In later TV prints, the earlier lines are missing. They're inexplicably missing to this day. Either the negative was damaged or the cuts were made on purpose.

* Dr. Henry Jekyll: [as Hyde] When you went to see the good doctor, before you left you said... I almost thought, well what did you think? Maybe that you saw a little bit of ME, Hyde in him?


GOOFS:

* Revealing mistakes: When Jekyll and Lanyon drop off Ivy at her home, a wire is visibly attached to Ivy. It evidently helps her as she falls out of the carriage, and again supports her weight as Jekyll "carries" her inside.

* Revealing mistakes: Spencer Tracy's stunt double is very obvious at various times in the movie.

* Continuity: In the fight with Sir Charles Emery, Hyde loses his hat. In the next instant it's back on.

* Continuity: In the scene where Hyde visits Ivy, he is sitting in a chair eating some grapes. In closeup he can be seen putting the last grape into his mouth with his right hand; but in the next medium shot, showing Hyde in the foreground and Ivy in the background, he is feeding himself with his left hand.

* Continuity: Ivy knocks Mr Hyde's bottle of champagne off the table, but later he lifts it from the table to smash over a man's head.

* Continuity: After attacking Ivy in her room Jekyll runs away from her house. As he approaches a carriage his hat flies off and he keeps running around a corner. In the next shot, from the other end of the corner, his hat is securely on his head.

* Boom mic visible: Right after Marcia and Ivy have been talking about a new theatre production and Hyde enters the room, the shadow of a boom mic is visible throughout much of the remaining scene with Hyde eating the grapes and playing the piano. The mic shadow, visible on the back wall, moves over to the doorway as Hyde enters, interrupting Ivy and Marcia, and follows him around the room. It's quite visible.
