To be released in Singapore on 10 February, this light-hearted comedy stars Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman and starlet Bailee Madison. It also features supermodel and tennis star Andy Roddick's wife Brooklyn Decker. To all the guys out there, catch this movie for Brooklyn Decker. She's one of the hottest (and one of my favourite) models and in this film you'll get to see her in plunging neckline tops and get this: BIKINI. She's so hot even I'd drool. It's not just about the figure, she has a pretty face to look at too. With her debut in Just Go With It, she may just launch her career in acting just like Milla Jovovich and Halle Berry did. Judging from the trailer, she has certainly got the potential and I'm sure she's gonna catch the eyes of various producers. Here's a sneak of the sexy vixen:
Plot Summary (from Yahoo!):
Danny (Adam Sandler) has a unique approach to picking up women - in order to break the ice and gain their sympathy, he pretends to be stuck in an unhappy marriage. The instant he brandishes his wedding ring, the deal is all but cinched. But when Danny finally meets a woman (Brooklyn Decker) that he really would want to marry, he abandons his usual approach for something more subtle. Incredibly, it works. But when she discovers the wedding band that he used to use as a pick-up prop, Danny attempts to cover his tracks by falling back on his tried-and-true divorce line. Unfortunately, the plan backfires when his new girlfriend asks to meet his future ex. Desperate, Danny recruits his office manager, Katherine (Jennifer Aniston), to validate his ruse by posing as his current wife. Before long, the lies are snowballing, and by the time Katherine's kids get involved and everyone comes together for a trip to Hawaii, it's not a matter of if Danny's plan will fall through, but when.
Oh yeah, you'll catch Heidi Montag (The Hills) in a cameo role. I can't imagine.
Also out on the same week, is Natalie Portman's Golden Globe winning work, Black Swan.
I'm pretty excited about this one, especially with Natalie's win for the Best Actress Golden Globe. The Psychology Harvard graduate put in so much hard work in preparation for this psychological thriller that she had to go through intensive ballet trainings till she mastered the art so perfectly. I'm not a fan of ballet as a form of dance (personal choice, really) but this movie is a must-watch for me. The trailer is really captivating. Natalie Portman stars across Mila Kunis in this one.
(Extracted from IMBd) Nina (Portman) is a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother Erica (Hershey) who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.
127 Hours is the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston's remarkable adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crashes on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah. Over the next five days Ralston examines his life and survives the elements to finally discover he has the courage and the wherewithal to extricate himself by any means necessary, scale a 65 foot wall and hike over eight miles before he is finally rescued. Throughout his journey, Ralston recalls friends, lovers, family, and the two hikers he met before his accident. Will they be the last two people he ever had the chance to meet? (Extracted from IMBd)
Danny Boyle, the Academy Award winning director for Slumdog Millionaire, re-tells the true, inspiring story of Aron Ralston who survives 127 hours crushed under a boulder deep in the Blue John canyon where he was climbing. The worse part was that no one knew where he was. This show is definitely a test for James Franco who has to give a sensory performance of the mountaineer's 127 hour-ordeal. For a better idea of what to expect, read this article on The Guardian, UK.
In Cinemas 17 February.
Starring Hayden Christensen (Jumper) and Thandie Newton (2012), Vanishing on 7th Street is a thriller in a modern-day setting. Here's the synopsis adapted from IMDb:
When a massive power outage plunges the city of Detroit into total darkness, a disparate group of individuals find themselves alone. The entire city's population has vanished into thin air, leaving behind heaps of empty clothing, abandoned cars and lengthening shadows. Soon the daylight begins to disappear completely, and as the survivors gather in an abandoned tavern, they realize the darkness is out to get them, and only their rapidly diminishing light sources can keep them safe.
The reviews on IMDb don't look so promising, it was a 6.4/10. I guess the plot is rather interesting but there isn't much development in the story since the bottom line is: everyone's disappearing and daylight is slipping away gradually. But instead of looking too much into the story, I believe viewers should give the actors credit for creating the suspense and adrenaline-rush for us since a script like this requires much skill in drawing us into the movie and allowing us to experience what the protagonists are going through. Thandie Newton has always been a very talented actress whom we seldom see much of, while Hayden Christensen, I must say, have improved a lot over the years in the various opportunities he has been showered with. I still remember the amateur actor he was when he took on the role of Anakin Skywalker in the prequel trilogy of the Star Wars saga, particularly in the second instalment, The Attack of the Clones. His acting then certainly didn't quite impress me.
This is definitely a flick that I will be catching, though I'd bare in mind not to give high expectations before entering the cinema.
Release date unknown.
Extraordinary teen John Smith (Pettyfer) is a fugitive on the run from ruthless enemies sent to destroy him. Changing his identity, moving from town to town with his guardian Henri (Olyphant), John is always the new kid with no ties to his past. In the small Ohio town he now calls home, John encounters unexpected, life-changing events-his first love (Agron), powerful new abilities and a connection to the others who share his incredible destiny. (Extracted from IMDb)
This action flick takes viewers through the action-packed scenes where John (emerging new Brit-actor Alex Pettyfer) escapes his hunters through working together with others like him. Once again, the plot stays simple with the "predator-prey" concept but it would be the action that holds movie-goes to their seats. Or, it could be Alex Pettyfer's cute looks that work on the ladies. I think he's pretty cute, and makes a pretty good couple with his co-star Dianna Agron (Glee) - they are dating off-screen too.
Some may find the plot a little cheesy, so may stay clear of this flick, but think again: Producer - Michael Bay. The action may be worth your dollars.
In Cinemas 24 February 2011.
Stay tuned for more movie release in 2011: Captain America, The Smurfs, Cars 2, Beastly, Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and more!
