Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is
an upcoming science fiction action film due for release on
June 19, 2009 in the United Kingdom, and June 24, 2009 in
North America. It is the sequel to 2007's Transformers,
which was the first live action Transformers film. Michael
Bay and Steven Spielberg return respectively as director and
executive producer, while Shia LaBeouf reprises the role of
Sam Witwicky, the human caught in the war between Autobots
and Decepticons. The film introduces many more robots and
the scope has been expanded to numerous countries, the most
important of which is Egypt.
Sam Witwicky (Shia
LaBeouf) discovers
something about the
origins of the
Transformers and
their history on
Earth after
receiving visions
from a remaining
piece of the
Allspark. The evil
Decepticons need to
capture him for
information. The
climactic battle
takes place at the
Giza pyramid
complex, where a
temple is located
within. Lorenzo di
Bonaventura
explained the film
will start before
the pyramids were
built, tying the
Transformers to the
beginning of
civilization, and
implying that "all
our heroes end up
here because of the
Decepticons' master
plan." Furthermore,
Egyptian hieroglyphs
resembling
helicopters and
other present day
vehicles in real
life will be
explained in the
film as being
depictions of those
Ancient
Cybertronians who
visited Earth.
Bay explained the
battle at Mission
City did not expose
the Transformers to
the public.
"Everybody has gone
ahead. It's
realistic. Two weeks
after the tsunami
nobody talked about
it anymore. It's
very weird. We
decided to do the
same with the
Transformers. The
government talks
about a military
thing, says all is
false, that it's a
joke, and people
don't know what they
really saw." Orci
cited the Phoenix
Lights incident as
an inspiration for
how the Transformers
manage to stay
covert after the
previous film, and
added it was an
interesting idea for
how would the
government "hide
Optimus Prime". The
human soldiers have
joined the Autobots'
ranks in a team
called NEST
(Networked Elements:
Supporters and
Transformers in the
tie-in novel
or Nonbiological
Extraterrestrial
Species Team on
official film tie-in
web sites). A
government front
called McClaren
Robotics covers up
the robot sightings,
and they have an
Allspark shard kept
in storage in NEST
headquarters, in

The
Stoning of Soraya M. (Persian: .سنگسار ثريا م)
is a 2009 drama film adapted from French-Iranian journalist
Freidoune Sahebjam's 1994 novel of the same name. The film
is directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh and stars Academy Award
nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo, as well as James Caviezel and
Mozhan Marnò. Stoning had its world premiere at the Toronto
International Film Festival, where it was the runner-up for

the Cadillac People's Choice Award. Stranded in a remote
Iranian village, Sahebjam is approached by Zahra, a woman
with a harrowing tale to tell about her niece, Soraya, and
the bloody circumstances of her death just two weeks before.
Her story exposes the dark power of mob rule, uncivil law,
and the lack of rights for women. Her last and only hope for
justice lies in the hands of the journalist who must escape
with the story—and his life—in order to communicate the
violence to the world. |

upside-down, it is Chéri who wears silk pyjamas and Léa's
pearls, and who is the object of gaze. |

(Hank Azaria).

Rewind, Black stated

said that the movie
is similar to Monty
Python's Life of
Brian. Black stated
that it might be fun
to see all the

in a modern movie.

it as a comedy set
in Biblical times
with Black's
character, Zed,
looking for some
kind of meaning for
his life. Black

Whatever Works
is an upcoming 2009 comedy film written and directed by
Woody Allen. The film is a comedy featuring Larry David,
Evan Rachel Wood, Patricia Clarkson, Kristen Johnston, Ed
Begley, Jr., Michael McKean, and Henry Cavill. David stars
as Boris Yelnikoff, an eccentric, misanthropic chess teacher
from Greenwich Village who comes home one night and finds a
young woman (Evan Rachel Wood) lying on his doorstep. He
takes her in for the night and eventually marries her,
despite their 40 year age difference and her absent
mindedness. His philosophy on the matter is that life is
short so he might as well enjoy himself.
The movie was filmed
in New York City,
marking Allen's
return to his native
city after a
four-film sojourn in
Europe. "It's very
classic Woody Allen
but it's still
different than
anything he's done,"
revealed Wood in a
December 2008
interview. Woody
Allen has
subsequently
revealed that the
script itself was
written in the early
70's, with Zero
Mostel in mind for
Boris, but that the
script was soon
shelved after the
actors death in
1977. 30 years
later, Allen
resurfaced the
script in an attempt
to create a film
before a potential
threat of an Actors
Guild strike. Allen
barely changed the
script from how it
was written in the
late '70s before
filming, keeping all
but the references
to 8 Tracks and LPs.
On February 2, 2009,
Variety reported
that Sony Pictures
Classics had
purchased U.S.
distribution rights
to Whatever Works.
Sony will release
the film on June 19,
2009.
It premiered on
April 22, 2009, at
the Tribeca Film
Festival in New York
City. |

The film's first
segment examines the
industrial
production of meat,
calling it inhumane
and economically and
environmentally
unsustainable. The
second segment looks
at the industrial
production of grains
and vegetables,
labeling this
economically and
environmentally
unsustainable. The
film's third and
final segment is
about the economic
and legal power of
the major food
companies, whose
livelihoods (the
filmmakers say) are
based on supplying
cheap but
contaminated food,
the heavy use of
petroleum-based
chemicals (largely
pesticides and
fertilizers), and
the promotion of
unhealthy food
consumption habits
by the American
public. |

Little
Ashes
: In 1922, 18-year old Salvador Dalí (Robert Pattinson)
arrives at university in Madrid. The Residencia de
Estudiantes, or student residences, is a modern environment
which encourages Spain's brightest young minds. Salvador,
who is determined to become a great artist, soon catches the
attention of the Resi's social elite – poet Federico García
Lorca (Javier Beltran) and aspiring filmmaker Luis Buñuel
(Matthew McNulty). Together they form the nucleus of the
most modern group in Madrid.
Their private lives
become increasingly complex as Federico ignores the advances
of devoted friend and writer Magdalena (Marina Gatell), and
Salvador himself feels the pull of García Lorca's magnetism.
Luis, becoming increasingly isolated by the duo's closeness,
decides to move to Paris to fulfill his own artistic
ambitions. Meanwhile, Salvador and Federico leave Madrid to
spend the summer at the seaside village of Cadaques, at the
home of Dalí's family.
Federico finds
himself accepted[1] into the Dalí family as he and Salvador
grow closer until, one night, their friendship becomes
more.[2] Even as they draw closer, their relationship
appears doomed. Luis visits them at university and becomes
more suspicious and appalled by their apparent closeness.
Dalí finds García
Lorca's obsession with him more than he is prepared to
handle and moves to Paris. Consumed by the high society and
decadence, Dalí is soon entangled with Gala (Arly Jover) a
married woman with a penchant for celebrities. When García
Lorca visits, he finds his friend is a changed man, in his
life and his politics. |

Drag Me to Hell,
is a 2009 American horror
film written and directed by Sam Raimi, and co-written by
his brother Ivan Raimi. It stars Alison Lohman and Justin
Long. The film is set to be released on May 29, 2009. With
his last horror film 1987's Evil Dead II, the feature marks
Raimi's first directorial horror film in 22 years.
Christine Brown
(Alison Lohman) is a
loan officer with a
good job and a
promising future.
With a promotion up
in the air between
her and another
employee, her boss,
Mr. Jacks (David
Paymer), advises her
that she needs to
demonstrate she can
make "the hard
calls" and make
tough decisions.
When Mrs. Ganush
(Lorna Raver), an
elderly Slavic
woman, asks for a
third extension on
her mortgage,
Christine, against
her better
instincts, denies
her in an attempt to
prove herself. In
desperation, Ganush
prostrates herself
before Christine,
begging and kissing
the hem of her
skirt. As a crowd of
customers and
employees gathers,
Christine panics and
shoves the woman
away, gravely
insulting her.
That night, in a
parking garage,
Ganush, enraged and
humiliated, exacts
revenge by pulling
Christine out of her
car, and rips one of
the buttons on her
jacket off before
using it to place a
curse upon her.
Shaken by this
confrontation, but
sure that no further
harm will come of
it, Christine tries
to forget what has
happened and move on
with her life- that
is until she is
haunted around the
clock by a
mysterious and
terrifying entity
that only she can
see. She confides in
her boyfriend, Clay
Dalton (Justin
Long), however, he
is too skeptical to
believe her stories
about terrifying
demons that are
constantly
terrorizing her.
Christine keeps
having frightening
encounters with a
deformed Ganush, who
is making her life a
living hell. As her
relationship starts
to fall apart and
her job starts to
crumble, Christine
becomes increasingly
scared. Mr. Jacks
starts to think that
she may be suffering
from psychiatric
troubles and starts
to confront her
himself. With nobody
to believe her,
Christine makes a
last desperate
attempt to prove her
sanity by consulting
a psychic, Rham Jas
(Dileep Rao), who
tells her that she
has been cursed and
that she is to be
tortured for three
days by a demon
called the Lamia
before being dragged
to hell to burn for
eternity. Horrified
by this revelation,
Christine begins a
race against time to
save her soul from
damnation, trying
various methods to
beat the curse.
Finally, she is told
that the only way to
get rid of the curse
is to give the item
Ganush cursed (the
jacket button) to
someone else.
Christine ends up
giving the button,
in a sealed
envelope, to the
corpse of Ganush,
who died shortly
after cursing
Christine.
Relieved that she
beat the curse,
Christine goes to a
train station to
meet Clay. He then
reveals to her that
she grabbed the
wrong envelope, and
he had the
envelope-sealed
button on him.
Shocked, Christine
falls onto the train
tracks while a train
is coming towards
her. Before she gets
hit, however,
demonic hands pop
out of the ground,
and all Clay can do
is watch in horror
as they pull
Christine into hell,
graphically
incinerating her
skin in the process. |

Star
Trek: The Future Begins
is a 2009 science fiction
film directed by J. J.
Abrams, written by Roberto
Orci and Alex Kurtzman, and
produced by Damon Lindelof
and Bryan Burk. It is the
eleventh film based on the
Star Trek franchise and
features the main characters
of the original Star Trek
series, who are portrayed by
a new cast. It explores the
backstories of James T. Kirk
(Chris Pine) and Spock
(Zachary Quinto), before
they unite aboard the USS
Enterprise to combat Nero
(Eric Bana), a Romulan from
the future who threatens the
United Federation of
Planets. The film will be
released in conventional
theaters and some IMAX
theaters on May 7, 2009. In
North America, it will open
May 8 following advance
screenings starting at 7pm
the night before.
Development of the film
began in 2005 when Paramount
Pictures contacted Abrams,
Orci and Kurtzman for ideas
to revive the franchise. The
creative team contrasted
Orci and Lindelof, who
consider themselves
"Trekkies", with casual fans
like Abrams, who all aimed
to create a film that would
interest a general audience.
They wanted to be faithful
to Star Trek canon, but they
also introduced elements of
their favorite novels,
modified continuity with the
time travel storyline, and
modernized the production
design of the original show.
Filming took place from
November 2007 to March 2008
under intense secrecy.
Midway through the shoot,
Paramount chose to delay the
release date from December
25, 2008 to May 7 (May 8 in
North America), 2009,
believing the film could
reach a wider audience.
