Kushal Reviews: Columbiana (2011)

Luc Besson's production team never disappoints. They don't necessarily excel but you definitely get what it says on the tin. The innaccurately titled Colombiana (Colombia is barely in the film 5 mins) should maybe have been named after it's main protagonist, Cataleya (Zoe Saldana). There is no hidden mystery, no twists and turns and the everything you predict happens as you envisage it. Don't worry - you're not a telepath, it's just a very very predictable story. It's Leon, with a girl. It's girl's family killed, girl gets revenge. It's been done and done and Colombiana does nothing in terms of story, style or direction. There is however, one saving grace. Zoe Saldana dives into this role so deeply that you find yourself almost fixated at her every move. She moves, climbs, crawls, kills and disappears with such grace that you believe everything you seen. Never too strong, never too soft. This Zaldana showreel is well worth buying a bag of popcorn for. Think "lovechild of Leon and Aeon Flux". 7/10

'I See You'(Theme song from Avatar) music video by Leona Lewis

I've been waiting for this for a while, and it's arrived. Behold, the music video for Leona Lewis' 'I See You' WARNING: Contains spoilers, watch at your own risk.

It's a headscratcher as to why they've included some of the film's main pivotal moments, spoiler alert or what?!

Good video though, if you've seen it, it'd obviously make more sense and you'd appreciate it more.

Avatar hits the $1BN mark in Box Office sales

Only four films in box office history have ever reached the £1 Billion mark(Titanic, LOTR: Return of The King, Pirated of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, and The Dark Knight, respectively), and now Avatar has joined the 'elite top 5', if you will. Currently in 4th place, and having been in theatres for only 17 days in theatres, one has to wonder how much more Avatar can make. I thought this was interesting. It deserved a place on Movieville. It got it. Kazed

Kazed Blogs #5 - Why I thought Avatar was the best film of 2009

Okay, so I did say ALMOST every week I'd blog. I sort of kept that promise. Watching it for a second time, Avatar immersed me into the world even more. People have asked me why I thought the film was one of the best films I've ever seen. It's hard to summarise points in one sentence, which is why I'm going to publish this. Solidify my thoughts on the Internet. These are just a few of the elements which make this film such a masterpiece. The CGI This is the most obvious reason, and quite possibly a reason why many people enjoyed the film. The CGI within Avatar was unlike anything I've ever witnessed before, sure, there have been films such as The Polar Express, and Beowulf which have used a similar visual style, but nothing come even close to Avatar. The characters, the lush, exotic environment were both created to an amazing degree, and watching both of these elements in action made me feel immersed within the action and I literally felt like I was within Pandora. The Environment Yeah, I sort of mentioned this above, but it was the environment which was incredible, and was so vivid and imaginative, and the bioluminescence that was present within the plant life and the Na'vi was nothing short of spectacular. The sheer beauty that emanated from the nature was breathtaking, a work of art, something which could never exist in the real world, but funnily enough, is where Cameron derived his inspiration from; from things that already exist. that's not to say a forest like that exists, but who knows. The soundtrack The sheer power that is contained within the soundtrack reflects so perfectly within the film. Every moment within the soundtrack could quite simply referred to as epic. In particular, is the opening piece, and the song used throughout the duration of the final battle.  What is shown in amazing visuals throughout this film, is most definitely reflected equally within the soundtrack of Avatar. An amazing soundtrack to accompany an amazing film. Like I said, these elements are but a few of several which made this film what it is. Sure, this may not entirely sum up why I thought it was such a great film, but I think they are a few of the one that affected the greatness of the spectacle that was Avatar.
