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

Whip It review

Synopsis: In Bodeen, Texas, an indie-rock loving misfit finds a way of dealing with her small-town misery after she discovers a roller derby league in nearby Austin Being Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, I wasn't sure what to expect. Seeing the cast that was involved with this film, I was slightly impressed. Ellen Page (Juno, The Tracey Fragments), Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development), Kristen Wiig (Knocked Up, SNL) to name a few. Whip It was a great film. That's putting it real bluntly. There were so many elements to this film I thoroughly enjoyed, but one of the main elements which really impressed me was the performance by Page. Although she had already impressed me with her past work, I felt as though her character in Whip It was perfectly suited for her. Drew Barrymore, playing the brilliantly named 'Smashley Simpson' had a semi-prominent role in the film, playing one of the 'Hurl Scouts' more experienced roller-girl. I have to address the scene with Bliss/Babe Ruthless and the boy from the band; I wasn't a fan. There were shots during this scene I admired, but ultimately really thought they should have been left out of the final cut, simply because I didn't think they belonged. Overall though, Whip It had a good mix of humour, emotion, a little action (In the form of Roller-Derby-ing), and of course, sex appeal. With an admirable story and a mix-bag of talent, Whip It definitely delivers and definitely an excellent directorial debut by Smashley Simpson. 8/10 Kazed

'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
