After.Life-Christina Ricci-rosy dead lips
I just look dead!!

After.Life-Christina Ricci-looking good for her funeral
Don't bury me! I'm not dead!
Maybe it’s her looks, maybe it’s the way she acts; Christina Ricci has always been associated with things dead. She’s been in movies like The Addams Family, Casper, and Sleepy Hollow. More often than not, she’d be made up to look Goth, with pale skin, raven-hair, and eyes with dark circles. Her physical qualities are likely the reason why director Tim Burton picked her for a role with Johnny Depp in Sleepy Hollow. If you have seen the sketches of Burton, you will see the resemblance of Ricci with some of them.

After.Life-Christina Ricci-I'm not dead!
I can't be dead!
Anyway, here is Ricci again in another movie with a story that moves around death. It stars Liam Neeson as an evil funeral director, Eliot Deacon, who uses his powers of suggestion to make Ricci’s character, Anna, believe that she’s dead after having been in a vehicular accident, even when all her sense tells her that she’s alive. Deacon tells her that he’s the only one who can hear her as a ghost, but of course, Anna challenges his insinuations and tries to break loose from his influence, only to discover that she’s trapped inside a cavernous funeral home that might as well be Deacon’s demented mind.

It's just me.
All the while, her boyfriend, Paul, played by Justin Long, tries to find the truth, convinced that she’s being kept a prisoner at the funeral parlor. But, determined as he is, rescuing a “dead’ girlfriend is not a simple matter as he also has to deal with Deacon. He confronts the funeral director, but of course, the only answer he gets is a lie. He tries to force his way into the parlor only to find a deadly world.

After.Life-Christina Ricci-So I'm dead, eh
Better you, than me!
As expected in the movie, Deacon is able to “prepare” Anna for her funeral after a game of cat and mouse in the “parlor.” Deacon succeeds, even when she protests with all her mind and will. For the most part, her body simply does not obey and she unwillingly submits to all the things that Deacon does to her while in his care as the mortician. “You have to look beautiful for your funeral,” Deacon says.

After.Life-Christina Ricci-body-morgue
It's alive!
After.Life is a movie not for everyone. It will make audiences’ hearts beat a little faster with terror. Some scenes can be troubling and for those who are sensitive to topic and visuals about dead bodies being violated, it's best to look the other way, or you might end up deeply disturbed. But remember that in this movie, Anna isn't really dead. As Anna is forced to face her own fears, so will the audience.

The Joneses-movie
We're the Joneses!

The Joneses-only to sell
You'll get over it!
The Joneses aren’t your typical family. They’re so perfect in every way their neighbors want to be like them in every way possible. They buy into their lifestyle and buy everything they show off—from jogging shoes to golf clubs. But the Joneses aren’t what they appear to be. Behind the façade of the family and house is a secret, that, when revealed, threatens to destroy relationships and trust not only between themselves, but also among the others who have learned to look up to them when it comes to living the dream life.

The Joneses-Amber Heard
We live to sell!
So, who are The Joneses? As far as the trailer of the movie reveals, they are sales people pretending to be an ideal family that has it all. The idea behind the charade is the fact that people will buy anything that appears popular and used by the cream of the crop. When the Joneses move into a new neighborhood, everyone suddenly admires them for their tastes and buy into their lifestyle!.

The Joneses-David Duchovny-gesturing
Look at what we have.
Yep, there’s a new sales force in town and it's the The Joneses! With the Joneses, selling takes on a whole new level by fooling people into believing in a bogus lifestyle that moves around products. In a way, the premise is based on a bit of truth. Families do perpetuate product popularity and use when they prove among their neighborhood circle what’s good and what’s not. It’s this word-of-mouth marketing that really works every time. The movie only took it a bit further by asking? “What if there’s a company that hire’s sales people to play a family in order to use and talk about products in a way that will encourage people to buy them?

The Joneses-sales graph
Average performance?
So, The Joneses is not a real family and is simply a team of sales persons out to promote products. Many ethical questions will be talked in the movie in the light of the modern consumerist society. How far should people go just to sell products? What is really important in life?

The Joneses-David Duchovny and Demi Moore
We're still a couple, you know.
Well, those are questions, but the movie is really more about entertainment than driving in a social message to capitalists. In the end, we all know that the pseudo world of the Joneses is going to crumble and that lessons will be learned by the characters. After a false success in doing what they're good at, they will be moving on to new things and finding a new, but real, life. This stars David Duchovny, Demi Moore, Amber Heard, and Ben Hollingsworth.

Chloe-Amanda Seyfried-lips
I'm in.

Chloe-Amanda Seyfried-red nails-fence
I'm out there.
Chloe is an erotic movie by Atom Egoyan, the same director who brought us Exotica (1994), a movie that’s about a lap dancer that sows intrigue and danger in the life of a frequent customer. Now here’s Chloe (2010), and it’s about an escort who turns the life of a husband and wife (Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore) upside down through seduction and desire.

Chloe-Julianne Moore-talking
I want you to seduce him.
As a professional escort, Chloe is hired by Moore’s character, Catherine, a doctor, to seduce her husband David who she suspects of cheating. Chloe agrees to the contract and does her job well—too well in fact, and as she recounts her amorous trysts with David in detail with Catherine, her escort talents kick in and she ends up seducing the wife as well. Catherine submits to hidden desires and ends up being the cheater.

Chloe-Liam Neeson-curious
Is she for real?
Catherine then seeks to end the business with Chloe, but her transgressions haunt her with pictures that ended up visible online. Now the tables have turned and she’s now the one who has something to hide from David. What’s a wife to do? David role doesn't seem to have much weight once something happens between Catherine and Chloe. But the story doesn't end there, you know.

Nathalie-Emmanuelle Beart-in original Chloe movie
I'm the original Chloe. -Emmanuelle Beart
Chloe is really a different film take of another film that came out in 2003. It was titled Nathalie and starred Gerard Depardieu and Emmanuelle Beart. Directed by Anne Fontaine, the movie is basically Chloe made for the French. Instead of an escort, the seductress (Beart) is a strip dancer in a club. The two movies essentially follow the same plot and even the scenes and circumstances are the same.

Chloe-Julianne Moore-compromising position
Stop! No, don't stop!
Chloe is basically your erotic thriller that builds sexual tension as the story progresses. That’s really the juicy part and having Chloe played by Samantha Seyfried is one thing that audiences would pay to watch. Of course, her intimate scenes with Moore are also one part of the film that some people would line up to catch, never mind the rest of the movie. But audiences have come a long way since Madonna kissed Britney Spears on MTV. It may take more than a mature and a younger woman kissing to haul an audience and make Chloe a blockbuster.

Chloe-Amanda Seyfried-confused
What have I done?
Seyfried, who also stars in a tamer role in Letters to Juliet, also has a kissing scene with the star of Jennifer’s Body. You already know who that actress is. If you dig the kind of movies that make bad girls out of good ones, then Chloe is for you. It’s made for men and director Egoyan certainly knows what strings to pull. Then again, women may also like it.

TRIVIA: How are the movies "Chloe" and "Letters to Juliet", which both star Amanda Seyfried, connected? Well, the late Natasha Richardson, who was the daughter of Vanessa Redgrave, star of Letters to Juliet, was also the wife of Nesson, who stars in Chloe. Richardson died in a skiing accident at the time when Chloe was filming.

Killers-Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher
Oh, goody! He's following me.

Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl play a new couple who are targeted by killers in the movie "Killers." It's like another version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It's also a comedy and full of action; only this time, the couple are together in keeping themselves from getting killed, unlike in "Smith" where the couple try to kill each other as assassins, after they both discover that their partner's secret profession.

The Last Airbender-Aang-shaved head-this side up arrow
Do not bend. This side up.

The Last Airbender-Aang-bald head-rear
My head looks good, eh?
There’s a Nickelodeon animated series based on Eastern oriental lore created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. It’s called Avatar: The Legend of Aang and is a fantasy revolving around Aang, a bald (shaved, actually) boy who can do wonders with the elements. He's played by young Noah Ringer. Aang’s head has a tattooed arrow that points down, similar to what you see in boxes that say “This side up.” The setting is a world where people called benders (no relation to Bender the robot in Futurama) can control the elements. In a battle for dominance, our bald airbender kid must go out of his way to save his world for the evil that plagues it coming from the Fire Nation.

MacGruber-Will Forte-sly grin
Is there anything wrong with the whole picture?

MacGruber-Will Forte-dapper
The name is Gruber, MacGruber.
Ever heard of MacGruber? No? Well, it’s really a character from a Saturday Night Live (SNL) series played by Will Forte. It’s supposed to be a spoof of the eighties MacGyver, which is why Forte sports mullet hair and classic Ray-Ban shades. Now, coming from the small screen at home, MacGruber, multi-awarded a Navy Seal, Green Beret, and Army Ranger all rolled into one, has now taken off to conquer the big screen! And as you may already have surmised, the story of the movie is about a seemingly misfit soldier leading other misfit heroes in a mission that could save the world.

Cop Out-Bruce Willis-funny face
Can you beat this?

Cop Out-Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan-thinking what I'm thinking
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
We all have gotten used to Bruce Willis being the action guy since his appearance in the first Die Hard film. Its hard-hitting action was a surprise complement to Willis’s portrayal of character—policeman John McClane. The story of Die Hard is serious but McClane wasn’t your typical stereotypical brooding action star. Willis made him someone who had attitude and with a bit of a swashbuckling and recklessly amusing disposition. In other words, he made the audience’s hearts leap while making them chuckle or even laugh at times. But that's old Hollywood celebrity news.

The A-Team-2010-sans Templeton Peck
The A-Team is back in business!

The A-Team-B.A. Baracus-Quinton Kackson
This head is familiar, but it's new.
The A-Team is back in a movie, but it’s not the same old team from the 1980s Stephen J. Cannell and Frank Lupo television series. When there used to be George Peppard for leader, Hannibal Smith, now there’s Liam Neeson, and he’s leading a bunch of new faces that look like the actors who played the characters originally. For Bosco B.A. Baracus, there’s now Quinton “Rampage” Jackson; for Templeton Peck, there’s now Bradley Cooper; for Howling Mad Murdock, there’s now Sharlto Copley.

Repo Men-Jude Lawy-Remy-artificial heart transplant-fiction
Remy the repo man will get repoed.

Repo Men-artificial liver-on credit
Buy now and pay later, or be killed.
In the near future, supposedly, there's a company that sells artificial organs on credit. These organs are so expensive that recipients, except those who are rich enough, are unable to pay. If this is the case, the recipients are as good as dead because they become targets of the Repo Men, whose job is to repossess the organ for the company, leaving the implantee dead.
