This is a film that follows the trend of telling the story from the perspective of a camera (or cellphone cameras). It is also a film that tries to answer the question of what really happens when someone (in this case a group of three late teens) acquire powers beyond human standards, the decisions they could really make and their motivations. It also offers insight on family matters and how what happens inside a family shapes forever the minds and spirits of children sometimes positively, sometimes negatively. Three seniors Andrew (Dane Dehaan), an impopular student, Matt (Alex Rusell), his cousin and Steve (Michael B. Jordan) acquire telekinetic powers from an unidentified object plus a special connection which is apparent when one of them overuses the power and the other two feel the surge causing to have nosebleeds. At first they just do not know what to do and keep it a secret but little by little the power grows stronger and they are even able to fly. The ecstasis they fe

Well, if it were not called Oblivion already then calling it True Alien Lies would not be such a bad title, not for this movie at least. The story begins in the year 2077 a future where mankind has mostly abandoned Earth and is moving to Titan, a moon around Jupiter. The reason is that our own Moon had been destroyed by an alien race called The Scavs (Scavengers). such event caused in response a series of catastrophes that decimated Earth poputation drastically. Later on the survivors faced the aliens who in great number descended on the surface. In a desperate attempt not to lose this war Earth remaining forces had fought back and used atomic weapons apparently ending the alien threat but at the cost of destroying most of the planet surface in the process. That had happened sixty years earlier. Now there was only an immense space station orbiting the Earth called the Tet. The station had as sole purpose to coordinate the final efforts to absorb the remaining resources that the p

Rurouni Kenshin is known as Samurai X in Latin America (or at least in Ecuador) and has garnered a respectable amount of fans eventhough Kenshin himself does not really fit the description of your average samurai. I have to confess I do not know much about what makes someone a samurai but Kenshin does not ever reers to himself as a samurai. He is a warrior who in the past was a perfect killing machine.  That is the irony that Kenshin represents: he was trained to kill yet he loves peace and despises killing people. If he did in the past it was only to make sure his country and his people could enter an age of order and peace which apparently happened. But peace and order are hard to gain and easy to lose. There are enemies constantly appearing, people who want go back to the previous system or just become the masters of the present one. Kenshin fights against these new enemies in his own way living in a peaceful village with new friends who are now his family and fighting when

For all those who cannot have enough Iron Man here is one of those Anime-styled productions that Marvel has been releasing in the last few years and that have also received great reviews for both the quality of animation and the story that aims at a somewhat older audience than your regular kid. This production is a follow to the twelve-episode story that finds Stark visiting Japan where he leads a project to help mankind with the help of his Japanese associates; but before he can finish it he faces the fiercest opposition of a criminal and powerful society called The Zodiac.  After his visit to Japan, Stark wants to send to space a satellite called Howard (like his father) that will help control crime all over the world. Supervising that everything is in order along his friend Jim Rhodes a.k.a. The War Machine the launch site of the satellite suffers a terrorist attack and a lot of innocents die. Even the War Machine is presumed dead and his body nowhere to be found after th

If you can´t recognize him then you have been living under a stone for like forever, This is Charles Chaplin (1889-1977) impersonating  The Tramp, a character he created which he used in most of his movies.  Chaplin, born in London at the end of the 19th century, had a hard life from the beginning. His father was never there for him and his mother had mental problems. Chaplin struggled to become the man he eventually became. His greatest stroke of genius was precisely the creation of The Tramp, a poor man who always had to fight the odds, had a heart of pure gold but in the end was always left empty handed. His best productions belong to the time when movies were silent and  black and white so the action and the gestures were extremely important to convey the attention of the audiences. Chaplin relied heavily on Slapstick (comedy based on physical sequences). When films made the jump to include sounds Chaplin resisted the new trend and insisted in making movies the old fashioned

There is a mountain with human faces, four of them in fact and it is called Mount Rushmore in the United States. It is perhaps the most well-known natural elevation in the States without being the highest, and that is surely for those four heads which were modeled after four oif the most cherished preseidents in the history of the U.S. and they are from left to right George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Thedore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. One of the most surprising facts about this monument is that it was carved in rock but not with simple chisels. Controlled dynamite explosions were used in its creation which says a lot about the commitment to this project by its creators. If you want to visit this monumental marvel you have to travel to Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota, right in the Midwest of the U.S.

It depends on where you live. If you live in the United States of America then May 1st is Loyalty Day. It is a holiday created around 1958 when Americans reaffirm loyalty to the American way. Curiously many people in the U.S. do not know anything about this holiday that is though observed in certain places but not everywhere. In other words, May 1st is not observed in the U.S. May 1st is Labor Day in most countries, not the U.S., though curiously enough it all began with events happening in Chicago at the end of the nineteen century when workers claimed for eight-hour workdays which did not exist at the time. The protesters were shot by the  Police sent to control the situation. As a way to pay homage to all those workers Labor Day was instituttionalized  only not in the States. There is a Labor Day in the U.S. calendar though and it is celebrated on the first Monday in September. It is believed that the idea to separate that day and celebrate it as Labor Day was done so as not
