Movies I Have Seen - April 2014 (20 movies)

The Big Lebowski. 1998, Starring
Jeff Bridges as Jeff "the Dude" Lebowski, a single, unemployed slacker living in Venice, California. The film's protagonist, he enjoys marijuana, White Russians, and bowling. Bridges had heard or was told by the Coen brothers that they had written a screenplay for him.[6]:27 The Dude is mostly inspired by Jeff Dowd, a member of the anti-war radical group the Seattle Liberation Front (The Dude tells Maude Lebowski during the film that he was one of the Seattle Seven, who were members of the SLF). A friend of the Coen brothers, Vietnam War veteran Pete Exline, also inspired aspects of the character.

John Goodman as Walter Sobchak, a Vietnam veteran, the Dude's best friend, and bowling teammate. Walter places the rules of bowling second in reverence only to the rules of his adopted religion, Judaism, as evidenced by his strict stance against "rolling" on Shabbos. He has a violent temper, and is given to pulling out a handgun (or crowbar) in order to settle disputes. He says the Gulf War was all about oil and claims to have "dabbled" in pacifism. He constantly references Vietnam in conversations, much to the annoyance of the Dude. Walter was based, in part, on screenwriter John Milius.[7]:189

Steve Buscemi as Theodore Donald "Donny" Kerabatsos, a member of Walter and the Dude's bowling team. Naïve and good-natured, Donny is an avid bowler and frequently interrupts Walter's diatribes to inquire about the parts of the story he missed or did not understand, provoking Walter's frequently repeated response, "Shut the fuck up, Donny!" This line is also a reference to Fargo, the Coen brothers' previous film, in which Buscemi's character was constantly talking.[8]

David Huddleston as Jeffrey Lebowski, the "Big" Lebowski of the movie's title, is a wheelchair-bound (he lost the use of his legs in the Korean War) apparent multi-millionaire who is married to Bunny and is Maude's father by his late wife. The film's primary antagonist, he refers to the Dude dismissively as "a bum" and a "deadbeat", and is obsessed with "achievement". Although he characterizes himself as highly successful and accomplished, it is revealed by Maude that he is simply "allowed" to run some of the philanthropic efforts of her mother’s estate, and that he actually does not have money of his own.

Julianne Moore as Maude Lebowski, an an avant-garde artist and feminist, whose work "has been commended as being strongly vaginal". She may have introduced Bunny to Uli Kunkel. She beds the Dude solely to conceive a child, and wants nothing else to do with him. She is straightforward in manner, and has a very precise style of speaking.

Tara Reid as Bunny Lebowski, the Big Lebowski's young "trophy wife". Born Fawn Knutson (correctly pronounced "Kuh-nootson"), she ran away from the family farm outside Moorhead, Minnesota, and soon found herself making pornographic videos under the name "Bunny La Joya". According to Reid, Charlize Theron tried out for the role.[6]:72

Philip Seymour Hoffman as Brandt, the Big Lebowski's personal assistant, who plays mediator between the two Lebowskis.

Sam Elliott as The Stranger, an old-time cowboy, who is also the narrator, and who sees the story unfold from a third-party perspective. He has a thick, laid-back Texas accent. Towards the end of the film he is seen in the bar of the bowling alley, and converses directly with the Dude on two occasions. He expresses disapproval of The Dude's use of profanity and his laziness, and adds the qualifier "parts of it anyway" when speaking to the camera commenting that he enjoyed the film.

Ben Gazzara as Jackie Treehorn, a wealthy pornographer and loan shark, who lives in Malibu, and employs the two thugs who assault the Dude at the beginning of the film. Bunny owes him a large sum of money.

Peter Stormare, Torsten Voges, and Flea play a group of nihilists, (Uli Kunkel, Franz, and Dieter, respectively). They are German musicians (Kunkel, as "Karl Hungus", appeared in a porn film with Bunny), who, along with Kunkel's girlfriend (Aimee Mann), pretend to be the ones who kidnapped Bunny. The character of Uli originated on the set of Fargo between Ethan Coen and Stormare, who often spoke in a mock German accent.[6]:57

John Turturro as Jesus Quintana, an opponent of the Dude's team in the bowling league semifinals. A Latin American North Hollywood resident who speaks with a thick Cuban American accent, and often refers to himself in the third person as "the Jesus", using the English pronunciation of the name rather than the Spanish. According to Walter, he is a "pederast" who did six months in Chino for exposing himself to an 8-year old. Turturro originally thought he was going to have a bigger role in the film; when he read the script, he realized the part was quite small. However, the Coen brothers let him come up with a lot of his own ideas for the character, like shining the bowling ball and the scene where he dances backwards, which he says was inspired by Muhammad Ali.[6]:44

Minor characters:
Jon Polito as Da Fino, a private investigator hired by Bunny's parents, the Knutsens, to entice their daughter back home. He mistakes The Dude for a "brother shamus"; David Thewlis as Knox Harrington, a video artist; Mark Pellegrino as Treehorn's blond thug; Philip Moon as Woo, the rug-peeing "Chinaman"; Asia Carrera as the actress who co-starred with Bunny in the pornographic movie Logjammin'; Jimmie Dale Gilmore as Smokey; Jack Kehler as Marty, the Dude's landlord; Leon Russom as Kohl, Malibu police chief.

Storyline: "Dude" Lebowski, mistaken for a millionaire Lebowski, seeks restitution for his ruined rug and enlists his bowling buddies to help get it.
Trivia: It is a comedy film written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. The film is set during the early 1990s. Jeff Bridges stars as Jeff Lebowski, an unemployed Los Angeles slacker and avid bowler nicknamed "the Dude." After a case of mistaken identity the Dude is introduced to a millionaire also named Jeffrey Lebowski. When the millionaire Lebowski's trophy wife is later kidnapped he commissions the Dude to deliver the ransom to secure her release. The plan goes awry when the Dude's friend Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) schemes to keep the full ransom. Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, and John Turturro also star, with Philip Seymour Hoffman, David Huddleston, and Tara Reid appearing in supporting roles. There is some narration at the beginning and towards the end by a cowboy known only as "The Stranger," played by Sam Elliott.

The film is loosely inspired by the work of Raymond Chandler. Joel Coen stated: "We wanted to do a Chandler kind of story – how it moves episodically, and deals with the characters trying to unravel a mystery, as well as having a hopelessly complex plot that's ultimately unimportant."[3] The original score was composed by Carter Burwell, a longtime collaborator of the Coen Brothers.

The Big Lebowski was a disappointment at the U.S. box office and received mixed reviews at the time of its release. Reviews have tended towards the positive over time and the film has become a cult favorite,[4] noted for its idiosyncratic characters, dream sequences, unconventional dialogue, and eclectic soundtrack.
Actual filming took place over an eleven-week period with location shooting in and around Los Angeles, including all of the bowling sequences at the Hollywood Star Lanes (for three weeks)[15] and the Dude's Busby Berkeley-esque dream sequences in a converted airplane hangar. Julianne Moore was sent the script while working on The Lost World: Jurassic Park. She worked only two weeks on the film, early and late during the production that went from January to April 1997[16] while Sam Elliott was only on set for two days and did many takes of his final speech.

Legacy:
Since its original release, The Big Lebowski has become a cult classic.[5] Steve Palopoli wrote about the film's emerging cult status in July 2002.[39] He first realized that the film had a cult following when he attended a midnight screening in 2000 at the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles and witnessed people quoting dialogue from the film to each other.[6]:129 Soon after the article appeared, the programmer for a local midnight film series in Santa Cruz decided to screen The Big Lebowski, and on the first weekend they had to turn away several hundred people. The theater held the film over for six weeks, which had never happened before.
An annual festival, Lebowski Fest, began in Louisville, Kentucky, United States in 2002 with 150 fans showing up, and has since expanded to several other cities.[40] The Festival's main event each year is a night of unlimited bowling with various contests including costume, trivia, hardest- and farthest-traveled contests. Held over a weekend, events typically include a pre-fest party with bands the night before the bowling event as well as a day-long outdoor party with bands, vendor booths and games. Various celebrities from the film have even attended some of the events, including Jeff Bridges who attended the Los Angeles event.[40] The British equivalent, inspired by Lebowski Fest, is known as The Dude Abides and is held in London.[41]

Dudeism, an online religion devoted largely to spreading the philosophy and lifestyle of the movie's main character was founded in 2005. Also known as The Church of the Latter-Day Dude, the organization has ordained over 130,000 "Dudeist Priests" all over the world via its website.[42]

Entertainment Weekly ranked it 8th on their Funniest Movies of the Past 25 Years list.[43] The film was also ranked No. 34 on their list of "The Top 50 Cult Films"[44] and ranked No. 15 on the magazine's "The Cult 25: The Essential Left-Field Movie Hits Since '83" list.[45] In addition, the magazine also ranked The Dude No. 14 in their "The 100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years" poll.[46] The film was also nominated for the prestigious Grand Prix of the Belgian Film Critics Association.[47] The Big Lebowski was voted as the 10th best film set in Los Angeles in the last 25 years by a group of Los Angeles Times writers and editors with two criteria: "The movie had to communicate some inherent truth about the L.A. experience, and only one film per director was allowed on the list."[48] Empire magazine ranked Walter Sobchak No. 49 and the Dude No. 7 in their "The 100 Greatest Movie Characters" poll.[49] Roger Ebert added The Big Lebowski to his list of "Great Movies" in March 2010.
John Turturro has suggested a number of times that he would be interested in doing a spin-off movie using his character Jesus Quintana. If the project got off the ground, the Coens would not direct it, but may have a part in writing it.
Use as social and political analysis:
The movie has been used as a tool for analysis on a number of issues. In September 2008, Slate published an article which interpreted The Big Lebowski as a political critique. The centerpiece of this viewpoint was that Walter Sobchak is "a neocon", citing the movie's references to then President George H. W. Bush and the first Gulf War.
A journal article by Brian Wall, published in the feminist journal Camera Obscura uses the film to explain Karl Marx's commodity fetishism and the feminist consequences of sexual fetishism.
It has been used as a Carnivalesque critique of society,[54] as an analysis on war and ethics,[55] as a narrative on mass communication and US militarism,[56] and other issues.

The Dude is in every scene of the movie. Even in the scene where the Nihilists are ordering pancakes you can see the van in which the Dude and Walter are driving. This is in keeping with the traditional film-noir, in which the protagonist is the narrator and acts as the audience's guide throughout the film.

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, John Goodman stated that The Dude referring to The Big Lebowski as a "human paraquat" was one of the only improvised lines to make it into the final film. Virtually every other line, including every 'man' and 'dude,' was scripted.

The Dude's line, "The Dude abides," is a reference to Ecclesiastes 1:4, "One generation passes away, and another generation comes: but the earth abides forever." It is a reference to how the Dude, much like the Earth, can weather change and chaos around him, but still remain the same.

The Dude was based on independent film promoter Jeff Dowd (aka Jeff "The Dude" Dowd), who helped the Coen brothers secure distribution for their first feature, Blood Simple. (1984). Like his fictional counterpart, Dowd was a member of the Seattle Seven and takes a casual approach to grooming and dress. The Port Huron Statement that The Dude refers to himself as being one of the original authors of, is a real document/statement written by The Students for a Democratic Society at a national convention meeting in, Michigan, June 11-15, 1962. Jeff Dowd was not one of those students, being not quite 13 years old, as he was born on November 20, 1949.

One of the inspirations for the character of Walter is the Coen Brothers' friend, writer-director John Milius, an infamously bombastic right-winger with an obsession with all things militaristic and an enthusiasm for guns. His girth, beard, hair style, and shades are also all reflected in Walter's physical appearance. The Coens had tried to cast Milius in the film Barton Fink (1991) in the part eventually played by Michael Lerner.

Nearly all of the visible symbols in The Dude's second dream sequence are taken from earlier scenes: - the black and white tile is seen earlier in the Big Lebowski's entry way when The Dude walks with Brandt and again at the end - the tool belt and workman outfit The Dude is seen wearing is identical to the one worn by Karl Hungus in Logjammin' - Saddam Hussein is mentioned briefly by Walter in the car outside the bowling alley; in the opening credits, we see a man looking a bit similar to Saddam spraying the bowling shoes at the alley - Maude's gold bowling ball bra cups are taken from bowling balls seen on the rack behind Walter in an earlier scene at the bowling alley - the scissors wielded by the red-clad Nihilists are seen in a painting with a red background on Maude's wall - the red-on-black bowling ball is the same as the one in the earlier dream sequence and is also visible on the rack behind Walter and The Dude at the bowling alley. - The initial scene of The Dude's exaggerated walking in while casting a big shadow is similar to his landlord's shadow dance to "Pictures at an Exhibition." - Maude Lebowski's trident is from a statue at The Big Lebowski's home.

Almost all the music on the soundtrack is revealed to be playing on a radio at some point. Examples: "The Man in Me" in the first dream sequence fades out after The Dude wakes up, but we still hear it, tinny and distant on his Walkman. "Hotel California" plays through out the entire scene with Jesus at the bowling alley, and even during the brief flashback, apparently as a song playing on the alley's PA system. The big band music that plays as The Dude leaves his house fades and is heard playing on Da Fino's car radio as they talk. Additionally, at the beginning of the film, the opening song, "Tumblin' Tumbleweeds", fades into a muzak version of itself as the Dude shops for his creamer in the grocery store; when it cuts to the Dude outside the store, the song has faded back into its original version.

DaFino refers to himself as a "brother shamus," a term which confuses the Dude. This was a popular term for a private investigator during the inter-regnum years, when Raymond Chandler wrote the stories on which this film is loosely based.

The Dude writes a check for $0.69 to pay for the half-and-half he uses in his White Russian cocktails. On the TV news, as he is writing the check, President George Bush is making his famous, "this will not stand, this aggression against Kuwait" remarks on August 6, 1990. The Dude's check is dated September 11, 1991, effectively post-dated by more than a year and a month. This is also the minus-10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on several American locations, but the filmmakers could not have known that when this film was made, three years before those crimes.

T Bone Burnett acted as music consultant for the movie, and helped Joel Coen and Ethan Coen establish the Dude's taste in music. Burnett selected many of the existing songs in the movie, and also suggested the Dude's hatred towards The Eagles (Burnett himself is not a fan either). One of the band's member, Glenn Frey, was reportedly so dismayed about this that he once even angrily confronted Jeff Bridges when they met at a party.

The private detective that's following Lebowski says that Bunny's family is from a farm "outside Moorhead, Minnesota". Moorhead is the home town of Jeff Bridges' wife and is located directly across the state line from Fargo. (Fargo (1996) was the title of the Coen brothers' previous film). Bunny's high school cheer-leading photo shows her wearing orange and black, the real school colors of Moorhead.

There are only two exchanges where the Dude speaks directly to Donny, as he largely ignores him. The first is in the bowling alley at the beginning, when Donny asks "What are we talking about?" twice, to which the Dude responds "My rug!" twice. The second is as the Dude is walking home from the bowling alley, Donny asks "Where you going, Dude?", to which he says "Home, Donny". Then Donny says, "Phone's ringin' Dude," and the Dude responds, "Thank you Donny."

The Dude tells Maude he was a roadie for Metallica on their (fictional) "Speed of Sound" tour and refers to the band members as a "bunch of assholes." Metallica themselves were flattered to be referred to in a Coen Brothers movie, with guitarist Kirk Hammett once noting in an interview that they'd tried to think of a way to incorporate that scene into their live shows.

The fictional German techno-pop band in the movie, Autobahn, is a parody of (or homage to) the legendary electronic band Kraftwerk. The Autobahn album cover is stylistically similar to the cover of the Kraftwerk album "The Man-Machine," and the group name Autobahn is the name of a Kraftwerk song. The title of Autobahn's album "Nagelbett" is German for nail bed. In Swedish, Peter Stormare's native tongue, it means nail bite.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the movie, when The Dude is drunk in the back of a Malibu police car, he sings the series's theme song.

Cameos: 1. Asia Carrera: the girl appearing opposite Bunny Lebowski and the nihilist in the porno movie that Maude shows The Dude is an actual porn star. 2. Charlie Kaufman: in the audience during the interpretive dance scene. Kaufman's own script, Being John Malkovich (1999), also contains an interpretive dance sequence. 3. Aimee Mann: The musician is the nine-toed Nihilist woman who we see briefly at the diner.
Everything Walter says to do with Bunny's kidnapping comes true: the fake kidnapping, the fake severed toe and the lack of ransom money.
These are also spoilers for Miller's Crossing (1990) and Fargo (1996):] After Steve Buscemi's character has died and is being remembered, all that remains of him are his ashes which blow all over The Dude when Walter scatters them at the ocean. This is part of a three-movie running gag where the visible remains of Buschemi's characters get smaller and smaller. In "Miller's Crossing", Buscemi is last seen as a whole dead body on the ground, and in "Fargo" all that remains of him is a severed leg being fed into a wood chipper by his killer (played by Peter Stormare who also portrays one of the Nihilists here.)
The only time Donny doesn't get a strike is before they fight the Nihilists at the end of the movie.

The Coen Brothers were inspired by several sources and stories. Possibly the leading source was their friend Peter Exline, who coined the phrase "It really tied the room together" to describe one of his own rugs. Pete and a friend of his "Big" Lew Abernathy (a private detective who the Coens didn't know) are considered to be the partial basis for the character Walter. Pete, a Vietnam veteran and college professor, once jokingly tried to scare his students by exclaiming "First Vietnam, now this?!" while hitting a chair, similar to the way Walter (non-jokingly) inappropriately compares everything to Vietnam. Pete also told the Coens about a story where his car was stolen and Abernathy helped him investigate. They found the homework of a 14-year-old and, instead of telling the police, they put the homework in a plastic bag and drove out to the kid's home to confront him (though unlike the movie, the kid did not actually steal the car and Abernathy did not end the confrontation by bashing a car outside the kid's house). Another story related by Pete was the time that Abernathy was arraigned by a Santa Monica sheriff who, as in the movie, insulted him and told him to "stay out of my beach community!"
Quotes: 1. The Dude: [repeated line by The Dude and others] "That rug really tied the room together." 2. The Dude: "Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing." 3. Maude Lebowski: "What do you do for recreation?" The Dude: "Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback." 4. The Dude: "Also, my rug was stolen." Younger Cop: "The rug was in the car?" The Dude: "No. It was here." Younger Cop: [eager] "Oh, separate incidents." Maude Lebowski: [on answering machine] "Jeffrey, this is Maude Lebowski. I need to see you. I'm the one who took your rug." Younger Cop: "Well. I guess we can close the file on that one." 5. Donny: "Are these the Nazis, Walter?" Walter Sobchak: "No, Donny, these men are nihilists. There's nothing to be afraid of." 6. Bunny Lebowski: "Uli doesn't care about anything. He's a Nihilist." The Dude: "Ah, that must be exhausting."
Anachronisms: 1. When Walter, The Dude and Donny are sitting at the bar in the bowling alley, discussing the kidnappers, Donny's can of Slice and a can of Pepsi are both newer, post-1991 designs. 2. The first sex offender laws, like those which would require Jesus Quintana to notify his neighbors of his paedophilic record, weren't implemented in California until 1996. 3. Post-1991 cars can be seen in the background where Walter and The Dude are sitting and having their coffee in the diner. Another, a black Nissan Maxima, drives past as The Dude is thrown from a taxicab in a later scene. 4. Smart Balance is on the grocery store shelf at Ralph's in the opening scene of the movie. This product didn't come onto the market until 1995, though the film is set four years earlier. 5. In the opening sequence, Jesus' bowling partner is bowling with teal Rhino Pro bowling ball which was not available until 1993. 6. The car Ulli drives in the adult movie "Logjammin'" is a BMW E36 convertible. Production of this car did not start before 1993. 7. Quite a few of the various bowling balls and shoes, both used and background props, were not commercially available until well after 1991. 8. Jesus Quintana's wrist brace wasn't made till 1996. 9. During the opening scene, in which the camera moves back to show several bowlers release at the foul line, one bowler rolls a translucent bowling ball. The ball, an Ebonite Clear Wolf, was not released until the mid 1990s.

Trivia: It is an American epic biblically-inspired fantasy film directed by Darren Aronofsky, written by Aronofsky and Ari Handel, and loosely based on the story of Noah's Ark.[4] The film stars Russell Crowe as Noah along with Jennifer Connelly, Ray Winstone, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, Anthony Hopkins, and Douglas Booth. It was released in North American theaters on March 28, 2014 in 2-D and IMAX while several countries will also release a version of the film converted to 3-D and IMAX 3D.
Principal photography began in July 2012, in Dyrhólaey, Fossvogur, Reynisfjara and other locations in Southern Iceland. Filming also took place in New York state. A set representing Noah's Ark was built at the Planting Fields Arboretum in Upper Brookville, New York. In September 2012, while on break from a location on Long Island, Russell Crowe and a friend, both of whom had been kayaking for several hours, were rescued by the Coast Guard near Cold Spring Harbor. Production was put on hold while Hurricane Sandy subjected New York to heavy rain and flooding during late October 2012. Regarding the film's extensive use of visual effects, Aronofsky said he and his crew "had to create an entire animal kingdom", using no real animals in the production but instead "slightly tweaked" versions of real creatures. Industrial Light and Magic said their work on the film represented "the most complicated rendering in the company's history".
Themes: The president of the National Religious Broadcasters stated that the Noah film includes "major biblical themes" including "sin, judgment, righteousness, and God as Creator." In addition, the film promotes the concept of evolutionary creation.
The film received generally positive reviews from critics.
Filming locations: Washington, Mississippi, USA; Fossvogur, Reykjavík, Iceland; Durango, Mexico; Reynisfjara, Iceland; New York City, New York, USA; New York, USA; Hollywood, California, USA.
Paramount Pictures were very worried about how Noah (2014) and its religious theme would be treated properly, so they screen tested three different rough cuts of the film, both without the approval and knowledge of Darren Aronofsky and all of the versions met with resounding criticism from Christian audiences. It has, since then, led to countless controversy and debacle on its correspondence to the biblical text found in the Book of Genesis. Aronofsky said that he was very unhappy with Paramount testing alternate versions of Noah that were not 'true to his vision': "I was upset - of course. No one has ever done that to me. I imagine if I made comedies and horror films, it would be helpful. In dramas, it's very, very hard to do. I've never been open to it. I don't believe that." After much discussion and compromise, the studio announced on February 12 that Darren Aronofsky's version, not any of the studio's alternate versions, will be the final cut of Noah. "They tried what they wanted to try, and eventually they came back. My version of the film hasn't been tested... It's what we wrote and what was greenlighted," Aronofsky said. It will not be test screened until post production is finished, as per Aronofsky's wishes.

Prior to the film being released in any country, Noah (2014) has been banned in Bahrain, Qatar, and UAE as the local government said it would contradict the teachings of Islam. The film has also been banned in Egypt for similar reasons, as it violates Islamic law and could "provoke the feelings of believers."

In this version, Noah's wife is named Naameh. This is a variation of Naamah, who is mentioned in Genesis 4:22 as the sister of Tubal-Cain and not further elaborated on, but is presumed by several Jewish and Christian traditions to be the wife of Noah, making Tubal-Cain be Noah's brother-in-law. Although Tubal-Cain is the main villain of this movie, no familial connection to Naameh is ever mentioned.
Besides the title of the movie, there are no opening credits.
Quote: Tubalcain: "I have men at my back, you stand alone and defy me?" Noah: "I'm not alone!"

Plot: Romance blooms between two thirty-somethings in arrested development: an avid toy collector who is the dark horse of his family and a depressed woman on the rebound.
Storyline: Abe (Jordan Gelber) is a man in his thirties who suffers from arrested development. He works for his father (Christopher Walken), collects toys for a hobby, and lives with his parents. Aware his family doesn't think much of him, Abe tries to spark a relationship with Miranda (Selma Blair), who recently moved back home after a failed literary/academic career and a divorce. Miranda agrees to marry Abe out of desperation and, almost immediately, the ex-boyfriend that she pines after returns, muddying the waters with Abe. During the course of events, Miranda says she has hepatitis B, and may have already put Abe at risk for catching it. Later comes the possibility that she is pregnant, and then that she is not. The film wavers between depicting scenes of fantasy and reality, particularly in the two scenes that culminate the film, such that the viewer isn't always sure whether the action is real or imagined. The final shot suggests uncertainty even regarding which character's perspective was represented throughout the film, or at various parts of it.
Trivia: It is a drama-comedy film written and directed by Todd Solondz. It was released June 8, 2012. Dark Horse received positive reviews; as of December 19, 2012, it held a 73% "fresh" rating on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes; the consensus states "Typically misanthropic yet curiously satisfying and incisive, Dark Horse is a movie that preaches to the cynical converted."

Estelle Harris, Jason Alexander and Jerry Stiller were hired to do voice overs for the scenes where Mia Farrow and Christopher Walken sit stone-faced watching an unseen TV sitcom. Todd Solondz felt the "Costanzas" on the TV series "Seinfeld" were a sitcom version of the family he was depicting, but he couldn't afford to use audio clips from "Seinfeld."

The toy store Abe tries to return a defective toy to is clearly a Toys "R" Us, despite the logo being digitally blurred.

Storyline: The leader of a drug cartel busts out of a courthouse and speeds to the Mexican border, where the only thing in his path is a sheriff and his inexperienced staff.
Trivia: It is an American action film directed by South Korean film director Kim Jee-woon in his American directorial debut. The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Forest Whitaker, Johnny Knoxville and Rodrigo Santoro. This was Arnold Schwarzenegger's first lead acting role since 2003's Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. The film was released in the United States on January 18, 2013. The film focuses on a tough small town sheriff and his deputies who must stop a dangerous drug lord from escaping to Mexico in a modified sports car.
In 2011 Lionsgate offered the project to Arnold Schwarzenegger, who had just ended his tenure as Governor of California.
Filming started on October 17, 2011 in Belen, New Mexico and Nevada.[12] Sommerton was required to be a border town, and Jee-woon also wanted a city that represented "Small Town America". Belen was eventually chosen for having an abandoned area that could be used by the production for as long as they needed. Two existing buildings became landmarks of Sommerton, the local hotel and a condemned building that became the diner. Six vacant lots were filled with façades, in which production designer Franco-Giacomo Carbone tried to put mixture of styles to heighten that it was a frontier city with much history. While the producers originally wanted to actually film in Downtown Las Vegas, they eventually found that downtown Albuquerque was visually similar and opted to film there instead and adding the Las Vegas Strip on the background in post-production. The town allowed filming from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., which did not interrupt local businesses.
During the initial scene of Cortez being broken out of the FBI convoy in Las Vegas, the camera sweeps by a blue street sign showing the action occurring on "5th St." There is no such street sign in Las Vegas, as 5th St. was renamed "Las Vegas Blvd." in 1959. Furthermore, street signs in the City of Las Vegas are green, not blue.
For Cortez' escape car, a Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 was picked for being advertised as "the fast car in a straight line ever made". Eventually a Camaro was provided for the car Owens used on the chase.[13] Seven cars of each model were provided by Chevrolet, with two being returned in pristine shape.[14] The others had varied changes: some had an automated driving system built atop them for the scenes shot from inside the car, others were reinforced for collisions, and a few ended up mounted on rigs - with the Camaro dragged atop the Corvette having all its insides removed to make it lighter. A 24 acre cornfield outside Albuquerque was purchased to serve as the scenery for the climactic chase at the end. Said field was later added to the background of the Sommerton scenes. The chase had the problem of a snowstorm shortly before filming, which made the ground muddy and hard to drive on.
The Last Stand has received generally favorable reviews.

Trivia: It is an American erotic thriller film based on John Lutz's novel SWF Seeks Same. The film stars Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh and is directed by Barbet Schroeder.
The film debuted at No. 2 on its opening weekend behind Unforgiven, and grossed just over $48 million at the box office. The film received mixed reviews. It currently holds a 56% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 39 reviews (22 positive, 17 negative).
Jennifer Jason Leigh won an MTV Movie Award for Best Villain, and was also nominated for a Chicago Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress.
The film was followed by an unrelated direct to video sequel, Single White Female 2: The Psycho, released in 2005 starring Kristen Miller.
In popular culture:
The character of Hedy has been cited as an example of borderline personality disorder. She suffers from a markedly disturbed sense of identity, and tries to remedy it by adopting the wholesome attributes of her roommate. It is implied that she feels a deep-seated emptiness, while her fear of abandonment leads to drastic measures.[5] It should be noted that whilst Hedy is willing to harm and even kill those who stand in her way, violence towards others is not commonly seen in those presenting with borderline personality disorder.[6]
The 2010 Bollywood film Apartment, directed by Jagmohan Mundhra, is inspired by this film.
The 2011 film The Roommate was criticized for being a "cheap remake" of Single White Female.[7][8]
An episode called "Juliet Wears the Pantsuit" in the eighth season of the TV show Psych references this film.
Filming locations: Ansonia Hotel, New York City, New York, USA; New York City, New York, USA.
Whoopi Goldberg auditioned for the role of Allison Jones.
Bridget Fonda had the choice of playing either the Allie role or the Hedy role. She ended up choosing to play Allie, because she said it was a harder role.
For the scene where Jennifer Jason Leigh seduces Bridget Fonda's boyfriend, without him realizing at first that she isn't who he thinks she is, Leigh was still having her make-up applied so the scene was shot with Bridget Fonda playing her own double. It was only the first part of the scene where the woman gets into bed (shot from the back) which Fonda did, as Leigh's character, as Fonda's character. The rest is done by Leigh.
To prepare for their fight to the finish scenes, both Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh took several self-defense lessons.
The Ansonia on the Upper West Side of Manhattan was used for the apartment building. The interiors were shot on a sound stage but the scenes in the stairwells were shot at The Ansonia.
Like most old apartment buildings the building in this movie does not contain a floor 13. You can see the floor numbers on the elevator in a couple shots.
Quote: Allison Jones: "I know you weren't yourself when you did this, Hedy." Hedra Carlson: "I know. I was YOU."

Plot: The small Maritime island town of Wilby is preparing for its annual fair as a scandal threatens to rock its very foundation: the local newspaper is about to publish details and names of men caught during a police raid at Wilby Watch, a large undeveloped area on the island. Trivia: 1. It is a film by Daniel MacIvor. The film is a comedic drama about 24 hours in the life of the small town of Wilby, where the municipal festival is in preparation. It focuses on the changes occurring in the lives of several different inhabitants as development comes to the island and threatens to change the world around them. The title comes from a sign created to promote the town; comically, it has been painted wrong, and says "Wilby Wonderful," as opposed to "Wonderful Wilby." Wilby Wonderful received a 71% rating from Rotten Tomatoes (5 fresh and 2 rotten reviews). 2. Filming locations: Shelburne, Nova Scotia, Canada; Picton, Ontario, Canada. 3. Music Department: Richard Bell - musician: piano; Jeff Bird - musician: harmonica, mandolin; Jaro Czerwynec - musician: accordian; Peter Moore - music editor; Ron Proulx - music clearance; Jane Tattersall - music editor; Michael Timmins - music engineer/ music producer/ musician: guitar, percussion, xylophone. 4. Paul Gross' two children Hannah and Jack Gross appear in the background of the movie. At age 10, Jack Gross spent the summer of 2004 on the set of Wilby Wonderful (2004) with his dad. His nickname is "Dr Tongue." Hannah Gross was born on September 25, 1992 in West Bloomfield, Michigan, USA. She is an actress, known for I Used to Be Darker (2013), Valedictorian (2015) and Drei Mädchen (2005). 5.

Quote: Buddy French: "I like Mark Twain. You know what else he said? 'Faith is believing something you know isn't true.'"

Trivia: It is an American political action-thriller film directed by Roland Emmerich about an assault on the White House by a paramilitary group and the Capitol Police Officer who tries to stop them. The film's screenplay is by James Vanderbilt, and it stars Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx, with Maggie Gyllenhaal, James Woods, Jason Clarke and Richard Jenkins in supporting roles. The film was released on June 28, 2013 and has since grossed more than $205 million worldwide.[2] White House Down is one of two films released in 2013 that deals with a terrorist attack on the White House, the other being Olympus Has Fallen.
White House Down is directed by Roland Emmerich and based on a screenplay by James Vanderbilt, who is also one of the film's producers. Sony Pictures purchased Vanderbilt's spec script in March 2012 for $3 million, in what The Hollywood Reporter called "one of the biggest spec sales in quite a while". The journal said the script was similar "tonally and thematically" to the films Die Hard and Air Force One.[14] In the following April, Sony hired Roland Emmerich as director.[15] Emmerich began filming in July 2012 at the La Cité Du Cinéma in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[16] Cinematographer Anna Foerster shot the film with Arri Alexa Plus digital cameras. In 2012, Sony competed with Millennium Films, who were producing Olympus Has Fallen (also about a takeover of the White House) to complete casting and to begin filming.
White House Down has received mixed reviews from mainstream critics. Roth Cornet of IGN gives it a 6.5/10, concluding: "White House Down is a pretty silly rehashing of previously tread action movie territory, but if you're willing to laugh along with (or even at) it, it can be a highly entertaining experience."
Filming locations: Montreal, Quebec, Canada; Washington, District of Columbia, USA.
The White House Tour Guide mentions that they're in the part that was blown up in Independence Day. Roland Emmerich, this film's director, also directed Independence Day (1996).

Apart from a couple of second unit shots of Washington DC and one scene shot in a park, all filming took place on sound stages in Montreal, Canada, with extensive blue screen techniques used to create the "world" around each set where required.

Initially rated PG in the Canadian province of Ontario, but the Ontario Film Review Board decided to revise the rating upward to 14A on August 21st, 2013, even though the movie had been in release for almost two months by that point.
The airplane carrying the vice president is repeatedly referred to as Air Force One, both verbally and on displays. The airplane carrying the vice president would be referred to as Air Force Two prior to Vice President Hammond's swearing in as president.
Though it may be considered an error by some the patch on the Task Force 160's helicopter pilot's shoulder showing the symbol of the 82nd Airborne Division is correct. By military tradition any soldier is allowed to wear the insignia of a unit s/he had served in combat on the right shoulder of their uniform...their current assignment insignia would be on the left.

Matt Craven says the line at one point, "Well, there's something you don't see every day." That line was also spoken by Bill Murray in Ghostbusters (1984). Matt appeared in Bill's screen debut Meatballs (1979).

This is one of two movies released to cinemas in 2013 with the same premise: the garrisoning of the White House by criminals who hold the President hostage. The other is Olympus Has Fallen (2013).
The USS Albuquerque is a real submarine, but does not carry nuclear ballistic missiles as shown.
When Marine One does "the thing" at the beginning of the film, and does a fly-by of the Lincoln Memorial, a profile of Lincoln is shown with the helicopters flying past in the background. This is impossible as that wall is solid, and bears the Gettysburg address.
Quotes: 1. President Sawyer: [while fighting a terrorist] "Get your hands off my Jordans!" 2. Walker: "You just killed the Secretary of Defense." Stenz: "Well, he wasn't doing a very good job." 3. Cale: "Can you not hit me in the head with a rocket when I'm trying to drive?" 4. President Sawyer: "I lost the rocket launcher." Cale: "You lost... How do you lose a rocket launcher?"

Captain America: The Winter Soldier. 2014, Starring
Chris Evans as Steve Rogers / Captain America:

A World War II veteran who was enhanced to the peak of human physicality by an experimental serum, frozen in suspended animation, and is now struggling to adjust to the modern world.[5] Describing his character's adjustment to the modern world, Evans said, "It's not so much about his shock with [technology]... It's more about the societal differences. He's gone from the '40s to today; he comes from a world where people were a little more trusting, the threats not as deep. Now, it's harder to tell who's right and wrong. Actions you take to protect people from threats could compromise liberties and privacy. That's tough for Steve to swallow."[6] Evans received training in parkour, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, karate, boxing, and gymnastics, as the Russo brothers believed that bringing Rogers into the modern day also meant that he had studied and mastered modern fighting styles and techniques. The filmmakers also looked to make the character's shield, which has traditionally been used for defense, a more offensive weapon.[7]

Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow:

A highly trained spy working for S.H.I.E.L.D., who partners with Rogers.[8] Screenwriter Christopher Markus said that Black Widow was a "great contrast" to Captain America, describing her as "incredibly modern, not very reverent, and just very straightforward whereas Steve is, you know a man from the 40s. He's not a boy scout, but he is reserved and has a moral center, whereas her moral center moves."[9] The Russos added, "She's a character who lies for a living. That's what she does. He's a character who tells the truth. Give them a problem and they'll have different ways of approaching it. She's pushing him to modernize, and he's pushing her to add a certain level of integrity to her life."[10] When asked about Natasha's relationship with Steve, Johansson said, "By a series of unfortunate encounters, they will be in a situation in which their friendship becomes more intimate. They share many similarities because they live on the defensive without relying on anyone. Also, the two have been working for the government throughout their professional careers. With their friendship they begin to question what they want and what is their true identity."[11]

Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier:

Steve Rogers' best friend, who has reemerged as an enhanced brainwashed assassin after being thought killed in action during World War II.[7][12] About the character, Feige said, "Winter Soldier has been methodically, almost robotically, following orders for 70 years."[13] Stan, who has a nine-picture deal with Marvel Studios including his appearance in The First Avenger,[14] endured five months of physical training to prepare for the role and did historical research stating, "I dove into the whole Cold War thing. I looked at the KGB. I looked at all kinds of spy movies, and all kinds of documentaries about that time, and what it was about. I grabbed anything from that time period. Anything about brainwashing."[15] Regarding Bucky's transition into the Winter Soldier, Stan said, "You know, the truth of the situation is although he looks very different and there's different things about him, it still comes from the same person. I think you'll get to see that no matter what. I think part of my goal here was to make sure that you see an extension of that version but just a different color of that same version in a way. I think he's still the same guy; he's cut from the same cloth."[16]

Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson / Falcon:

A Pararescueman trained by the military in aerial combat using a specially designed wing pack.[7] About the role, Mackie said "[Wilson is] a really smart guy who went through major military training and becomes a tactical leader."[17] Remarking, "He's the first African-American superhero. It makes me feel all the work I've done has been paying off. I have a son, nephews and nieces, and I love the idea that they can dress up as the Falcon on Halloween. They now have someone they can idolize. That's a huge honor for me."[18] Marvel, who cast Mackie because of his "energy and sense of fun,"[10] did not let him read a script before signing on.[19] Mackie spent five months doing two-a-day workouts and eating an 11,000 calorie per day diet to get into shape for the role.[20] Commenting on Rogers' relationship with Wilson, Evans said, "Meeting Mackie's character, he used to serve, now he works at the VA counseling guys who come home with PTSD — they connect on that level. I think they're both wounded warriors who don't bleed on other people. Cap has no one to bleed on. I think Mackie knows how to handle people like that. … Sometimes when things are bad, trusting a stranger is the way to go."[2]

Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill:

A high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who works closely with Nick Fury.[21] Smulder's said she did some of her own stunts in the film explaining, "I try to do my own stunts whenever I can. You're only allowed to do certain stunts. There is an amazing team of stunt people that do most of the work in this film. But, I studied a lot of tae kwon do. I also did a lot of training just with weapons because I'm not very comfortable around guns. I had to get comfortable because that's my character's thing... I like to get really physical so I feel empowered when I am on set and even though you don't see it on screen, maybe I am taking people out that you don't see off camera."[22]

Frank Grillo as Brock Rumlow:

An operative in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s counter-terrorism S.T.R.I.K.E. team.[7][23] About the character, Grillo said, "He is a bad-ass guy. [He] pretty much beats the shit out of everyone in the movie and that's really it."[24]

Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter / Agent 13:

A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent assigned to guard Rogers without his knowledge.[7][25] About the character, VanCamp said, "I play Agent 13 / Sharon Carter which everyone knows but we don't really touch on that in this film. We're just sort of introducing her. When we first see her we realize she's living next to Captain America... they sort of have a little thing going on and as we all know in the comic books they had a love affair off and on for years. They had a very complicated relationship. It's almost as if they are planting the seeds now. Sort of leaving room to go wherever they want to go with it."[24] Regarding her casting, Joe Russo said, "We wanted someone that Cap would have an immediate interest in. It had to be a strong-willed person, and we felt that Emily's work on Revenge was a great test tube for what this character could be. She's obviously very credible with physicality, she holds the screen really well, and she even looks like the character from the books."[26]

Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter:

A retired officer with the Strategic Scientific Reserve and former love interest of Captain America.[27]

Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce:

A senior leader within S.H.I.E.L.D.,[27] a member of the World Security Council and an old comrade of Nick Fury.[28] Redford was cast in part as an homage to his roles in 1970s thrillers such as Three Days of the Condor.[29] As to what attracted him to the film, Redford said, "I wanted to experience this new form of filmmaking that's taken over where you have kind of cartoon characters brought to life through high technology."[30]

Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury:

The director of S.H.I.E.L.D.[31] Regarding Fury's questionable code of ethics, Jackson said, "Almost everything that comes out of Nick Fury's mouth is a lie in some sense. He has to ask, is he even lying to himself, too? He has a very good idea of what's going on but his paranoia keeps him from believing some of it."[6] Jackson added, "You see Nick Fury the office guy, him going about the day-to-day work of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the politics as opposed to that other stuff. It's great to have him dealing with Captain America in terms of being able to speak to him soldier to soldier and try to explain to him how the world has changed in another way while he was frozen in time. Some of the people who used to be our enemies are now our allies – him trying to figure out, 'Well, how do we trust those guys?' or 'How do we trust the guys that you didn't trust who don't trust you?' And explaining to him that the black and white of good guys/bad guys has now turned into this gray area."[28] McFeely said, "Fury represents an obstacle for Steve in some ways. They don't always agree on how S.H.I.E.L.D. ought to be used."[10]

Additionally, Toby Jones,[32] Maximiliano Hernández,[33] and Garry Shandling[34] reprise their roles from previous Marvel Studios films as Arnim Zola, Jasper Sitwell, and Senator Stern, respectively. Georges St-Pierre plays Georges Batroc, a mercenary and a master of the French form of kickboxing known as savate.[35][36] Callan Mulvey plays Jack Rollins, a member of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s S.T.R.I.K.E. unit.[37][38] Chin Han, Jenny Agutter (who previously appeared in The Avengers), Alan Dale, and Bernard White appear as members of the World Security Council,[39][40] Comedic actors Danny Pudi[40] and DC Pierson[41] have small roles as a S.H.I.E.L.D. technician and an Apple Store employee, respectively. Gary Sinise voices the narrator of a Captain America-themed Smithsonian Institution exhibit and Stan Lee cameos as a security guard there.[40] Winter Soldier creator Ed Brubaker makes a cameo as a scientist working on the Winter Soldier.[42][43] Co-director Joe Russo cameos as a doctor,[41] and Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely cameo as two S.H.I.E.L.D. interrogators. Thomas Kretschmann, Elizabeth Olsen, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson appear, uncredited, as Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, the Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver, respectively, in the mid-credits scene.

Trivia: It is an American superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Captain America, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is the sequel to 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger and the ninth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, with a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and stars Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Cobie Smulders, Frank Grillo, Emily VanCamp, Hayley Atwell, Robert Redford, and Samuel L. Jackson. In the film, Captain America, the Black Widow and Sam Wilson join forces to uncover a conspiracy within S.H.I.E.L.D., while facing a mysterious assassin known as the Winter Soldier.

Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who wrote Captain America: The First Avenger, stated before that film's release that they were working on a sequel, and in June 2012, Anthony and Joe Russo entered negotiations to direct. The following month, casting of the supporting roles began with the additions of Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan. Principal photography commenced in April 2013 in Los Angeles, California before moving to Washington, D.C. and Cleveland, Ohio. Captain America: The Winter Soldier premiered in Los Angeles on March 13, 2014. It was released internationally on March 26, 2014 and in North America on April 4, 2014, in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D. The film became a critical and financial success, having grossed over $500 million worldwide. A sequel set to be directed by the Russo brothers is scheduled for release on May 6, 2016.

Unlike the other films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, "The Winter Soldier" minimizes the use of visual effects as much as possible. Anthony Mackie, elaborated: "The Russos, what they did that was so great was, they wanted to stay with live action, which is a dying art form...If they could build it, they built it. If we could do it, we did it. They wanted to do as little CGI as possible. That's why the movie looks so great."

When the Helicarriers are revealed for the first time, Fury mentions to Captain America that Stark insisted on making changes to the propulsion systems. In The Avengers (2012), Iron Man struggled to restart the damaged propeller-based engines of an earlier generation Helicarrier. The new Helicarriers seem to use jet or repulsor technology instead of propellers to create lift.

Steve's "To-Do" list of cultural events and items since World War II that he wants to catch up on reads: I Love Lucy; Moon Landing; Berlin Wall (Up + Down) Steve Jobs (Apple); Disco; Thai Food; Star Wars/Trek (with Star Wars crossed out, indicating that he had seen it); Nirvana (Band); Rocky (Rocky II?); Troubleman (Soundtrack). This list varies slightly in the UK: instead of I Love Lucy, the TV show at the top is Sherlock, and the Berlin Wall, Steve Jobs, and Disco are replaced by The Beatles, World Cup Final (1966), and Sean Connery. The Luc Besson movie The Fifth Element is on the list in France. In the Australian release it includes the popular chocolate biscuits, Tim Tams. In the German release it includes the Oktoberfest.

According to Chris Evans Steve Rogers continues his adjustment to the modern world, which began in The Avengers (2012): "It's not so much about his shock with technology... It's more about the societal differences. He's gone from the 1940s to today; he comes from a world where people were a little more trusting, the threats not as deep. Now, it's harder to tell who's right and wrong. Actions you take to protect people from threats could compromise liberties and privacy. That's tough for Steve to swallow."

Anthony Mackie to the role of the Falcon partly to give African-American kids another Black superhero to enjoy in the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise, apart from War Machine in the Iron Man series. However, he was unhappy with the modern take on his costume as Falcon since he wanted the red spandex look from the comics. Instead, this film adapts the Falcon from Marvel Comics' Ultimate Marvel imprint, which has him as a special operations soldier who happens to be equipped with a costume, goggles and unique winged flying harness with much more subdued dark colors.

In battling the Winter Soldier, Captain America needs all the resources he can get, including his iconic shield, which has a lot more uses in the film. The shield is traditionally used mostly as a defensive weapon, but in Captain America: The Winter Soldier the filmmakers wanted to explore using it more as an offensive weapon. There are two handles on the shield and Steve Rogers can hold onto the handles in order to utilize it in an eastern style of fighting.

When Black Widow and Captain American arrive to the subterranean bunker, where they find the first S.H.I.E.L.D.'s offices, they see three photographs in a wall. In the photos can be seen Colonel Chester Phillips, Howard Stark and Peggy Carter as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s founders. They was played respectively by Tommy Lee Jones, Dominic Cooper and Hayley Atwell in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011).
When Dr. Zola (voiced by Toby Jones) explains HYDRA's history and its infiltration in S.H.I.E.L.D., he mentions Red Skull. Skull, alias Johann Schmidt, was a Nazi scientist and the founder of HYDRA in the 40's, and was played by Hugo Weaving in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011).

Trivia: It is an American 3D family comedy film and a sequel to the 2011 film The Smurfs. It is loosely based on The Smurfs comic-book series created by the Belgian comics artist Peyo. It is the second installment of a projected trilogy, produced by Sony Pictures Animation and distributed by Columbia Pictures. The film is directed by Raja Gosnell, who helmed the first, with all the main cast returning. New cast members include Christina Ricci and J. B. Smoove as members of the Naughties, and Brendan Gleeson as Patrick Winslow's stepfather. The film was released on July 31, 2013 and is dedicated to Jonathan Winters, who voiced Papa Smurf and died on April 11, 2013. A third installment, The Smurfs 3, is in the works and is scheduled to be released on August 14, 2015.
Filming took place in Montreal, Canada.[14] The film also marked the last appearance of Jonathan Winters, he did the voice of Grandpa Smurf on the 1980s TV series and Papa Smurf in both the first Smurf film and the sequel. Winters died on April 11, 2013 (by then, work had already ended on this film). Several scenes were filmed in the new film studios Cité du Cinéma founded by Luc Besson in Saint-Denis in France. The Smurfs 2 received negative reviews from critics.
Filming locations: Montréal, Québec, Canada; Paris, France; Studios de Paris, La Cité du Cinéma, Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis, France.

Jonathan Winters' final performance. Sofía Vergara filmed a cameo reprising her role of Odile Anjelou from the previous installment but the scene was ultimately deleted. Brainy Smurf and Gutsy Smurf were reduced to recurring characters for the film, staying behind to watch the village, and ultimately giving Vanity the spotlight.
Quotes: 1. Papa: "Listen up, smurfs. I saved water form the last blue moon for just such an occasion. I was able to smurf it into these smurf-portation crystals." Brainy Smurf: "Oh, so you don't need a portal. Very clever, Papa." Papa: "Smurf-xactly". 2. Papa: "It doesn't matter where you came from. What matters is who you choose to be." 3. Papa: [referring to Smurfette] "We didn't love her because she changed... She changed because we loved her."

Trivia: It is a German-Canadian action-adventure science fantasy film based on the first book of The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. The story takes place in an urban and contemporary New York City. Directed by Harald Zwart, the film stars an international cast, including Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower, Robert Sheehan, Kevin Zegers, Jemima West, Godfrey Gao, Lena Headey, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Aidan Turner, Kevin Durand, and Jared Harris. It was released in theaters on August 21, 2013. While shopping the film prospect around, author Cassandra Clare had difficulty finding a studio interested in making a film with a female in the lead role. Studios asked her to switch the lead to a male character, which she refused. On December 9, 2010, it was announced that Lily Collins had been cast in the role of Clary Fray. Alex Pettyfer was originally offered the role of Jace Wayland, but turned it down. Alexander Ludwig, Ed Speleers and Leebo Freeman tested for the role[10] but it went to Jamie Campbell Bower. Xavier Samuel, Nico Tortorella, Max Irons, Douglas Booth, were also in consideration.
Filming: Principal photography took place between August 20 – November 7, 2012 on location in Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario, and New York City. Filming locations: Allan Gardens Conservatory, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Botanical greenhouse scene); Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (hotel); New York City, New York, USA; Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Lily Collins was previously a fan of the books, when she found out that a film was being made, she made numerous phone calls to ensure her role as Clary.
Alex Pettyfer was first choice for the role of Jace Wayland, but turned it down. Alexander Ludwig, Xavier Samuel, Nico Tortorella, Leebo Freeman, Max Irons, Ed Speleers, Douglas Booth and Lucas Till, all auditioned for the role but lost to Jamie Campbell Bower.
At around 52 minutes a banner of Harald Zwarts favorite soccer team appears, Fredrikstad Fotball Klubb.
Kirby Bliss Blanton auditioned for the role of Isabelle Lightwood. Chris Riggi auditioned for a role.
Quote: 1. Clary Fray: "I just don't know how to look at the world anymore. I don't see street and traffic lights and cars. I see demons and angels. Everything's different." Jace Wayland: "The world's the same. You're the one who's different." 2. Jace Wayland: "For the record, my hair is naturally blonde."

Storyline: A DEA agent and a naval intelligence officer find themselves on the run after a botched attempt to infiltrate a drug cartel. While fleeing, they learn the secret of their shaky alliance: Neither knew that the other was an undercover agent.
Trivia: It is an American action film directed by Icelandic director Baltasar Kormákur and starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg. Based on a graphic novel series of the same name published by Boom! Studios, the film was released on August 2, 2013.
Production: The film is an adaption of the comic series of the same name by Steven Grant. However, it has been noted by the Observer that it can also be seen as evocative of the 1973 thriller Charley Varrick. The pictures have similar plots and in both cases the bank being robbed is in Tres Cruces, New Mexico.
2 Guns marked the second collaboration for Wahlberg and Kormákur: they first worked together on the film Contraband. It also marks the second collaboration between Washington and Patton after having starred together in Déjà Vu. 2 Guns received mixed to positive reviews from critics.
Filming took place in New Orleans, Louisiana and areas throughout New Mexico. Filming locations: Kenner, Louisiana, USA;

When Bobby and Stig cross into Texas from Mexico, they walk through the Rio Grande which flows from their right to their left. But the Rio Grande flows east along that border, so it should be left to right when they walk north. As depicted, they're going the wrong way.

Trivia: It is an American action comedy film and sequel to the 2010 film Red. It was inspired by the limited comic book series of the same name, created by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner, and published by the DC Comics imprint Homage. The film stars Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Lee Byung-hun, Anthony Hopkins, and Helen Mirren, with Dean Parisot directing a screenplay by Jon and Erich Hoeber. Red 2 was released on July 19, 2013.
Production: In January 2011, Summit Entertainment rehired writers Jon and Erich Hoeber to write a second installment of Red due to the film's financial success, which even surpassed producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura's expectations.[3][4] Helen Mirren stated in March 2011 that she is ready for Red 2.[5] In October 2011, Summit announced that Red 2 would be released on August 2, 2013 and the film would "reunite the team of retired CIA operatives with some new friends as they use their 'old-school style' to take on new enemies in Europe."[6] In February 2012, Dean Parisot, best known for directing Galaxy Quest and Fun With Dick and Jane, entered final negotiations to direct the sequel.[7]

In May 2012, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Lee Byung-hun signed on to join the cast of Red 2.[8] Also in May, it was reported that Anthony Hopkins was up to appear in the film as the villain, Edward Bailey, if a scheduling conflict could be worked out with Thor: The Dark World.[9] In July 2012, Neal McDonough entered negotiations to join the cast of Red 2.[10]

In August 2012, it was announced that Red 2 would film in Montreal beginning in September. The city was selected because of a 25 percent tax credit offered by the province of Quebec and because of its resemblance to European cities (the film's settings include London, Paris and Moscow). It was also reported that following the Montreal shoot, the production would film in London even though Montreal doubled for London in some scenes.[11] In September 2012, David Thewlis joined the cast as a character called The Frog, an information dealer who got his name by poisoning the water supply at the Kremlin using a poisonous Amazonian frog.[12] Principal photography began in late September in Montreal.[13] Production moved to Paris in mid-October then to London by the end of the month.[14][15] In March 2013, Summit moved the film's release date from August 2, 2013 to July 19, 2013.[16]

The childhood photo of Han Cho-bai (Lee Byung-hun) and his father that appears in the film are actually photos of Lee with his late father, who died in 2000.[17][18] Lee's father was a fan of Hollywood films and dreamed of being an actor himself. When Lee shared this story with Dean Parisot, the director, he was so touched that he decided to include Lee's father at the end credits as one of the main cast, even though the photos appear only briefly in the film.
Red 2 has received mixed reviews from film critics.

After the success of the earlier film in 2010, Ernest Borgnine always held out hope he'd be around to reprise his role as Henry the records keeper in the 2013 sequel. When interviewed in April 2012, he mentioned there was talk about it over the years and made one request to the producers - "I told them if they do it, I want to carry a gun this time" He kept in touch with screenwriters Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber and in the end would have had a major role in a sequence at the start of the movie. When Ernest passed away in July 2012, three months prior to the start of production, his scenes were reconfigured and would feature an uncredited Titus Welliver
The father in the childhood photo of Byung-hun Lee's character, Han Cho-bai, is Lee's real father.
This is the second movie released in 2013 to feature both Bruce Willis and Byung-Hun Lee. The first was G.I Joe Retaliation.
Helen Mirren's character says she's the queen of England. Mirren played different queens of England in The Queen (2006), Elizabeth I (2005), The Madness of King George (1994) and in the play "The Audience" (2013).
Anthony Hopkins and Brian Cox have both played Hannibal Lecter. Cox originated the part in Manhunter (1986) while Hopkins played the part in The Silence of the Lambs (1991), Hannibal (2001) and the Manhunter remake, Red Dragon (2002), also starring Mary-Louise Parker.
In the United States and some other countries, this film was released on the same day as R.I.P.D. (2013), the new film from RED (2010) director Robert Schwentke, also starring Mary-Louise Parker.
The film marks the second time that Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren work together. The previous film was Hitchcock (2012).
Although he is listed in the opening credits, Steven Berkoff's total screen time is less than one minute.
Reunites Anthony Hopkins with Catherine Zeta-Jones after The Mask of Zorro (1998).
The main poster for "Red 2", with the cast walking towards the camera from out of the shadows, may have been indirectly inspired by the poster for The Wild Bunch (1969), the cast in this poster walking into the shadows, among them, Ernest Borgnine
Neal McDonough and David Thewlis appeared together previously in Timeline (2003).
Due to strict UK gun laws producers couldn't import the higher caliber guns they desired.

It is not." 4. Sarah: "I didn't know what to do, I didn't want to kill him!" Frank: "So you chose to kiss him?"
