Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones

Christopher B. Landon,s another best derection released on Friday, January 3, 2014.
In Movie Theaters: Friday, January 3, 2014  
Director: Christopher B. Landon
Cast:
more cast Richard Cabral- Arturo
Carlos Pratts - Oscar Hernandez
Eddie J. Fernandez - Carlos
Jorge Diaz . . . Hector
David Fernandez Jr- Cholo
Kimberly Ables Jindra - Coven Woman

Storyline

Described by sources as a “cousin” to the Paranormal Activity movies. The film will be Latino-themed. It will star a Latino cast and will tackle Catholic-based paranormal mythology. The novelty of "found footage" wore off almost immediately upon arrival, and yet the "style" persists, despite the fact (or maybe because of the fact) that it's tired and lazy. "Found footage" requires too much forgiveness on the part of the audience. If you find yourself thinking, as I did, during "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones", the fifth installment in the wildly popular series of films, "Why wouldn't he turn off the spotlight on his camera so as not to be detected by the hungry coven of witches looking to devour him?" then you're dead in the water. And so is the film. Thankfully, the entertaining chemistry between the two young leads in "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones" (Andrew Jacobs and Jorge Diaz), almost saves it.
Evil spirits are up to their old tricks in "The Marked Ones", and this time the action takes place in Oxnard, California, in a working-class Latino neighborhood, a welcome change in style and feel from the other more generic suburban installments. Jesse (Jacobs) and Hector (Diaz) live in a crowded apartment complex, with multigenerational family members crowded into small rooms. Both have just graduated from high school and seem to have no plans, no jobs, no goals. The only thing they have any interest in is fooling around with their new video camera. At first, they just film each other doing dumb stunts involving laundry baskets and staircases. Hector draws a penis on Jesse's face while he sleeps. Hilarity ensues. They do shots of tequila with Jesse's feisty grandmother (Renee Victor). The only reason this banal footage has any entertainment value is because of the two actors. Their energy together feels unselfconscious; it doesn't feel like acting. They seem like real boys, real friends.

Aaron Paul -Tobey Marshall
Imogen Poots
Dominic Cooper- Dino
Scott Mescudi
Ramon Rodriguez
Harrison Gilbertson

Story

The story chronicles a near-impossible cross-country race against time—one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of redemption. In a last attempt to save his struggling garage, blue-collar mechanic Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul)—who with his team skillfully builds and races muscle cars on the side—reluctantly partners with wealthy, arrogant ex-NASCAR driver Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper). Just as a major sale to car broker Julia Bonet (Imogen Poots) looks like it will save the business, a disastrous, unsanctioned race results in Dino framing Tobey for manslaughter.

 

Two years later and fresh out of prison, Tobey is set on revenge with plans to take down Dino in the high-stakes De Leon race—the Super Bowl of underground racing. To get there in time, Tobey must run a high-octane, action-packed gauntlet, dodging cops coast-to-coast and dealing with fallout from a dangerous bounty Dino put on his car. With his loyal crew and the surprisingly resourceful Julia as allies, Tobey defies odds at every turn and proves that even in the flashy world of exotic supercars, the underdog can still finish first.

The town's most hard-boiled citizens cross paths with some of its more reviled inhabitants. Directors: Frank Miller | Robert Rodriguez Stars:

Jessica Alba, Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt The sobering thing about Sin City 2 is to realize that pretty much every cast member's career has hit the skids. So let's hope the sequel is worth the staggering delay and that better roles are on the horizon for Clive Owen, et al. I'd push for special screenings of both films back-to-back.

Director:    Akiva Goldsman
Cast: Russell Crowe- Pearly Soames
Jessica Brown Findlay -Beverly Penn

Storyline

Set in a mythic New York City and spanning more than a century, Winter's Tale is a story of miracles, crossed destinies, and the age-old battle between good and evil.

Set in 1916 and present-day Manhattan, Winter's Tale follows the story of Peter Lake (Colin Farrell).

Lake is saved from the insane gangster Pearly Soames (Russell Crowe) and his gang of thugs by Athansor, a mysterious white horse who becomes his guardian angel.

Belle (2013)

An illegitimate mixed race daughter of a Royal Navy Admiral is raised by her aristocratic great-uncle. Director: Amma Asante Stars: Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Matthew Goode, Emily Watson, Miranda Richardson We hear whispers about Amma Asante's historical biography, saying it could be destined for an awards push this year. We will see how this shapes up after the film's debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2013. Gugu Mbatha-Raw could find herself in a series of contemporary gowns if her first starring role is as well received as people are expecting.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

Peter Parker runs the gauntlet as the mysterious company Oscorp sends up a slew of

supervillains against him, impacting on his life. Director: Marc Webb Stars: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Paul Giamatti What's most interesting to us with this burgeoning franchise reboot isn't the amount of mystery and misdirection surrounding the events of its second installment, it is director Marc Webb's investment in future sequels. He's already teased the notion of The Gentleman and the Sinister Six antagonizing Peter Parker down the road. Besting that, screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci already have people thinking we will see Venom in The Amazing Spider-Man 4, which is currently set for a 2018 release. 2018. We can't even estimate if we'll be good or evil tomorrow.

Swerve (2011)

Colin happens upon a road accident where he finds a dead man, a beautiful woman, and

a suitcase full of money. After trying to do the right thing he soon finds himself caught up in a dangerous scheme. Director: Craig Lahiff Stars: Jason Clarke, Emma Booth, David Lyons, Travis McMahon This somewhat dusty Australian thriller has earned a limited theatrical release in conjunction with its VOD push now that Jason Clarke has an elevated Stateside profile thanks to his appearances in Zero Dark Thirty, The Great Gatsby, and a couple other high-profile projects.

The Hobbit The Desolation of Smaug (2013)

The dwarves, along with Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the Grey, continue their quest to reclaim Erebor, their homeland, from Smaug. Bilbo Baggins is in possession of a

mysterious and magical ring. Director: Peter Jackson Stars: Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Ken Stott The best ways to sum up our enthusiasm for the second installment of Peter Jackson's prequel trilogy are: We can't wait for Benedict Cumberbatch as the voice of Smaug as we inch a step closer to witnessing the brutal splendor of the Battle of Fives Armies in The Hobbit: There and Back Again (2014). And just made the Jedi theory will apply here and chapter two will be the best movie of the trilogy.

The Last Days on Mars (2013)

A group of astronaut explorers succumb one by one to a mysterious and terrifying

force while collecting specimens on Mars. Director: Ruairi Robinson Stars: Liev Schreiber, Elias Koteas, Romola Garai, Olivia Williams The indie sci-fi genre is having a banner year thanks to Europa Report (2013) and this offering from Ruairi Robinson, a former storyboard artist/title sequence designer who we think will be attached to a big studio project in the near future. Fans have pointed out its smart science, impressive smaller-budget special effects, and overall lean direction as reasons the film is worthy of your attention.

Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)

A week in the life of a young singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961. Directors: Ethan Coen | Joel Coen Stars: Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, John Goodman, Garrett Hedlund Seems like the Coen Bros. might have another mellow, acoustic cultural phenomenon on their hands with their portrait of Greenwich Village circa 1961. We're anticipating multiple Oscar nominations (and a win for its Screenplay?) and a career boost for the talented Oscar Issac that will surpass the one Michael Stuhlbarg received after A Serious Man (2009).

Out of the Furnace (2013)

When Rodney Baze mysteriously disappears and law enforcement doesn't follow through

fast enough, his older brother, Russell, takes matters into his own hands to find justice. Director: Scott Cooper Stars: Christian Bale, Casey Affleck, Zoe Saldana, Woody Harrelson It's a good time to be Scott Cooper. The Crazy Heart (2009) filmmaker seems to have a career in front of him that'll enable him to write and direct his own projects at his own speed, and attract top-tier actors whose choices always range from blockbusters to artier fare. Such a seemingly dark thriller as Furnace will always attract media/online attention, though we're curious to see how this one translates in terms of box-office performance.

Sabotage (2014)

Members of an elite DEA task force find themselves being taken down one by one after

they rob a drug cartel safe house. Director: David Ayer Stars: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sam Worthington, Terrence Howard, Olivia Williams David Ayer usually directs from his own screenplays, but here he's a hired gun for a fledgling movie studio looking to score a hit with an action-heavy spin on the classic Agatha Christie story. The premise seamlessly fits with the ensemble formula that has served Arnold Schwarzenegger well in his return to movies.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and battles a new

threat from old history: the Soviet agent known as the Winter Soldier. Directors: Anthony Russo | Joe Russo Stars: Chris Evans, Frank Grillo, Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson If we can agree that Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) lacked humor - an element that has made the other Avengers movies fun to watch - then perhaps that was the impetus to hire Joe and Anthony Russo, best known for their work on "Arrested Development" and "Community", to co-direct the sequel, which picks up where the original left off, with Steve Rogers getting his bearings after being transported from WWII to the present day. Also being transported through time is Rogers's close friend, Bucky Barnes, whose surprise existence doesn't necessarily make for a happy reunion ... though it should help make for a more compelling and complex villain scenario.

Muppets Most Wanted (2014)

While on a grand world tour, The Muppets find themselves wrapped into an European

jewel-heist caper headed by a Kermit the Frog look-alike and his dastardly sidekick. Director: James Bobin Stars: Tom Hiddleston, Salma Hayek, Stanley Tucci, Christoph Waltz Look for the joy generated by the recent Muppet movie's success to increase worldwide

Grace of Monaco (2014)

The story of former Hollywood star Grace Kelly's crisis of marriage and identity,

during a political dispute between Monaco's Prince Rainier III and France's Charles De Gaulle, and a looming French invasion of Monaco in the early 1960s. Director: Olivier Dahan Stars: Nicole Kidman, Tim Roth, André Penvern, Frank Langella Respectful of Grace Kelly's memory is the decision to focus this story on an episodic moment in her life as Princess of Monaco. Better that than a larger-scale biography - no one could match such real-world elegance - so La Vie en Rose (2007) director Olivier Dahan has our respect and interest. And, to go back in time, if Tom Cruise can have a box-office comeback, Nicole Kidman can engineer the same feat.

Walk of Shame (2014)

A reporter's dream of becoming a news anchor is compromised after a one-night stand

leaves her stranded in downtown L.A. without a phone, car, ID or money - and only 8 hours to make it to the most important job interview of her life. Director: Steven Brill Stars: Elizabeth Banks, Tig Notaro, James Marsden, Gillian Jacobs Elizabeth Banks lands her first starring role in what should be a huge year for one of our favorite actresses; she of course will reappear as the uniquely styled Effie Trinket in next month's The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013). And while we like the sound of this premise, we can't help but wonder what it would have been like if a woman had been allowed to write the screenplay - and/or direct the project outright. The industry keeps talking about the Bridesmaids effect, but here the decision-makers went with the guy who directed a couple Adam Sandler movies.

Need for Speed (2014)

Fresh from prison, a street racer who was framed by a wealthy business associate

joins a cross country race with revenge in mind. His ex-partner, learning of the plan, places a massive bounty on his head as the race begins. Director: Scott Waugh Stars: Aaron Paul, Chillie Mo, Dominic Cooper, Dakota Johnson The movie-release calendar this winter feels a bit like summer with all the Legos, vampires, and Robocops vying for your patronage. Add this video-game adaptation and potential franchise-starter into the mix, with its enviable cast led by Aaron Paul, who will be available for more starring roles now that "Breaking Bad" is coming to an end.
