"ANGELS & DEMONS" - Slap On Catholic League


Angels and Demons re-teams director Ron Howard and star Tom Hanks for the sequel to their international blockbuster adaptation of Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code. Although the book Angels and Demons was written before the novel The Da Vinci Code, the movie transpires after the events of the earlier movie.

A full-scale battle has been joined between producer-director Ron Howard on one side and William Donohue, head of the Catholic League, the largest Catholic lay organization in the U.S., with about 100,000 members. On Tuesday Howard accused Donohue of being on a "mission" to smear him by portraying him and his upcoming movie, Angels & Demons, as anti-Catholic without having actually seen the movie. In a commentary posted on the liberal Huffington Post blog, Howard wrote, "Let me be clear: neither I nor Angels & Demons are anti-Catholic. And let me be a little controversial: I believe Catholics, including most in the hierarchy of the Church, will enjoy the movie for what it is: an exciting mystery." Responding to Donohue's charges that the movie -- and the Dan Brown book on which it was based -- are replete with "lies" about the Catholic Church, Howard responded, "It would be a lie if we had ever suggested our movie is anything other than a work of fiction," and he acknowledged that he, like other classic filmmakers, had taken "liberties with reality." He concluded: "I know faith is believing without seeing (and a boycott would be disbelieving without seeing). But I don't expect William Donohue to have faith in me, so I encourage him to see Angels & Demons for himself." Donohue wasted no time responding. "Howard must be delusional if he thinks Vatican officials are going to like his propaganda -- they denied him the right to film on their grounds." And he implied that either the Church or the Catholic League may have planted a spy among the movie's crew. "We know from a Canadian priest who hung out with Howard's crew last summer in Rome (dressed in civilian clothes) just how much they hate Catholicism." Donohue did not identify the priest, nor did he indicate what the priest had learned about the crew's views about the Church.


And now, Just as The Da Vinci Code drew condemnation from the upper echelons of the Vatican, so, too has its sequel, Angels & Demons. On Friday, the Vatican's official newspaper Avvenire commented that the church "cannot approve" of the film, much of whose plot takes place in Vatican city. The following day, the Turin daily La Stampa suggested that the church has been considering boycotting the film but that officials are concerned that such an action could result in a "boomerang effect" that would result in even more people going to see it. The film is scheduled to open worldwide on May 15.

“CITY OF EMBER” – An Epic Adventure

I have downloaded this fantastic movie today not hoping much from it. But it was a stunner. I would rather say that it is one of the best adventure movies. It has very good story line, mind blowing set, light and yes ofcourse, some damn good acting as well. The thing is, it’s a kid’s film and the main two characters have done a fantastic job. There were some lame scene also but overall it’s a movie worth some times. You can download this movie here. After seeing this movie please leave your comments here. I hope you’ll enjoy.

PLOT:

After an unknown calamity makes the earth uninhabitable, society is forced to go underground. For generations, the city of “Ember” thrives, but after several hundred years- supplies have begun to dwindle, and the mighty generator that supplies the city’s power has begun to fail. Enter youngsters Lina Mayfleet (Saoirse Ronan) & Doon Harrow (Harry Treadaway), who suspect all is not as it seems in Ember- including the city’s lazy mayor, Cole (Bill Murray), who they suspect is hiding the secret to the city’s salvation.

"The Spirit" is far from "Sin City"

"Down these mean streets a man must come. A hero born, murdered, and born again."

I've downloaded the movie "THE SPIRIT". This Movie is uploaded by FXG™, and it's a DVDrip.

Admittedly when I downloading "the Spirit" I was simply expecting crap. Complete and utter crap. I will admit that I was surprised that it wasn't THAT bad. I mean it is by no means genius like the Sin City movie but its also not Uwe Boll bad... although it is close. The Spirit is best summed up as how SinCity would have been if the studio had lost the common sense of putting a director in the directors seat. No taking away from Frank Miller he is very talented but he is not a director. This movie had all kinds of insanity. From weird editing, to characters talking into the camera out of the blue, and dialogue that was a snooze. That said it had the visual styling of a pulp fiction movie and reminded me of Dick Tracey with a touch of SinCity. Visually impressive I would imagine that true die hard fans of the comic may have found something to love in this film.

Plot summary :

Down these mean streets a man must come. A hero born, murdered, and born again. When a Rookie cop named Denny Colt returns from the beyond as The Spirit, a hero whose mission is to fight against the bad forces from the shadows of Central City. The Octopus who kills anyone unfortunate enough to see his face who has other plans. He's going to wipe out the entire city. The Spirit tracks this cold hearted killer from the city's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill the masked crusader.
