Movie Buzz | Movies to watch on July 4th weekend.

While the movie industry has been in summer mode for a full two months, for many, the July 4th weekend marks the official start of summer. To celebrate, there are two saturation level releases coming out this week. Both could be major hits, but they could have real trouble topping Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen over the weekend. Compared to last year, I don't think anything will top Hancock's opening weekend, but combined they should help 2009 maintain its strong pace compared to last year.

Coming Soon | Johnny Depp is Public Enemies #1.

Synopsis:

"Public Enemies" is the story of legendary Depression-era outlaw John Dillinger-the charismatic bank robber whose lightning raids made him the number one target of J. Edgar Hoover's fledgling FBI and its top agent, Melvin Purvis, and a folk hero to much of the downtrodden public. No one could stop Dillinger and his gang. No jail could hold him. His charm and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost everyone-from his girlfriend Billie Frechette to an American public who had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged the country into the Depression. But while the adventures of Dillinger's gang-later including the sociopathic Baby Face Nelson and Alvin Karpis-thrilled many, Hoover hit on the idea of exploiting the outlaw's capture as a way to elevate his Bureau of Investigation into the national police force that became the FBI. He made Dillinger America's first Public Enemy Number One and sent in Purvis, the dashing "Clark Gable of the FBI.'' However, Dillinger and his gang outwitted and outgunned Purvis' men in wild chases and shootouts. Only after importing a crew of Western ex-lawmen (newly baptized as agents) and orchestrating epic betrayals-from the infamous "Lady in Red'' to the Chicago crime boss Frank Nitti-were Purvis, the FBI and their new crew of gunfighters able to close in on Dillinger.

Directed by Michael Mann and written by Ronan Bennett & Ann Biderman. Johnny Depp stars along with Channing Tatum, Christian Bale, Billy Crudup, Marion Cotilard, Giovanni Ribisi, Rory Cochrane, David Wenham, Lili Taylor & Stephen Dorff.

Few trivia about the movie:

1. While the film project was put in the development in 2004 Leonardo DiCaprio was initially attached to start in the leading role.
2. If anyone remember carefully Depp says to one of the bank customers in the trailer, "We're here for the bank's money, not yours" which the line was in same director's film Heat (1995) said by Robert De Niro.

While some identified goofs in the film:

1. Dillinger (Depp) was refers as the man who killed "Pretty Boy Floyd" but actual fact Charles Arthur "Pretty Boy" Floyd was killed by FBI & Ohio law enforcement officials back October 1934. John Dillinger was actually killed in Chicago by FBI agents outside the Biograph Theater exactly three month before Pretty Boy killed.
2. As Dillinger (Depp) died in 1934 but in the main trailer the grill of the Dillinger getaway car is 1936 Chevrolet. Obviously the model were not in production until late '35.

BTS | Twilight:The Cullen's House.

I bet by now of people or at least the teenagers seen a movie called Twilight. With >$380m gross world with on the movie plus >$150m sales on the DVD in US alone I think the next Twilight saga: New Moon will be much anticipate movie this summer too along with Transformers and Harry Potter franchises film. Much to say that the production cost of the 1st movie is just around $37m only and with gross more than 100% should be a good trip to the bank by Summit Entertainment as the film distributor.

As we know that the movies saga based on Book which carry the same title of the movie. What struck most of the movie goers is the Cullen's house which show a modern vampires which live in modern house. When I see the movie I do like the house a lot which bring back to my memories while working in Dublin, Ireland back 2001 to 2003. Hence due to the likeness I decided to post the pictures for viewing. Just a back ground on the house was design by architect Jeff Kovel and known as Hoke House slash Nike House located just outside of Forks, Wa. Why Hoke or Nike house coz designed for Nike exec John Hoke and his family.

So without further a do please enjoy below pics take from freshome website:

Movie DVD | June 24th

As usual few DVDs out this week me to review but only 1 film struck me worthy to buy or even rent i.e. Confessions of a Shopaholic available in Blu-ray.


Isla Fisher plays Rebecaca Bloomwood as young woman who obsessed with shopping which most of them spend on fashion. Fisher as all know that engaged to Sacha Boran Cohen @ Borat @ Ali G. For more details about movie please visit Yahoo movie website. Click here for full summary of the movie.

What I would like to share here the extra features in the disc. The disk offered a DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack which kind of audio we expected for this sort of film genre. Overall the audio was acceptable and not much to mention here.

Six features appear under the banner of Behind the Fashion which include the pieces look at stores, costumes, locations and other elements related to typical fashion movie.

4 deleted scenes and some bloopers of a shopaholic which consists of the usual goofs and silliness which average for this sort of collection. Also included in the disk 3 music videos by Jordyn Taylor, Shontelle featuring Akon & Trey Songz. What can conclude of the videos are mediocre.

Ads include some clips for The Proposal & Lost which also Sneak Peeks on Morning Light promo unfortunately none trailer on Shopaholic included.

Other DVDs out as the following:
