Tagline: If Someone Took Everything You Live For… How Far Would You Go To Get It Back?

Plot Outline: A claustrophobic, Hitchcockian thriller. A bereaved woman and her daughter are flying home from Berlin to America. At 30,000 feet the child vanishes and nobody admits she was ever on that plane.

My Rating: 7.0 [rate 3.5]

Cast: Jodie Foster, Peter Sarsgaard, Kate Beahan, Erika Christensen, Jana Kolesarova, Marlene Lawston, Sean Bean, Greta Scacchi, Michael Irby, Assaf Cohen, Christian Berkel, Shane Edelman, Mary Gallagher, Haley Ramm, Forrest Landis

A nice film with enough suspense to keep you to your chair until the end. I am not saying that it’s perfect, but I am not going to say that it’s not. Imagine flying home with your children, relatives, friends and suddenly you realize that someone is missing. I personally wouldn’t want to go through it. I think the one thing that made this hole movie even more interesting is that she knew the plane inside and out.

The moral story of the movie? Personally I would say that don’t mess with people on a plane since you never know what they do for a living.

I think that this version of King Kong was one that the digital effects really payed off. If you’ve seen previous versions of King Kong then you should see this one. If you didn’t then, what are you waiting for?

Write about Underworld Evolution here.

If you’ve seen Underworld, then you need to see Underworld: Evolution. This movie picks up right where Underworld left at the very same scene. Underworld Evolution is indeed an evolution, an evolution of the first film.

There isn’t much to talk about evolution without disclosing information about it. If you are the person who has seen Underworld and after the movie was finished there were many questions in my mind. This film answers that giving background information about the everlasting battle between the Vampires and the Werwolves.
