James Gunn directed film named ‘Super’ was released on 1stApril, 2011. This film is based on the concepts of right and wrong along with super heroics as a metaphor for dealing with a break up. The film is starring Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon, and Gregg Henry. The role and character of Rainn Wilson is embedded with seriousness, emotional and schlubby guy who marries to Liv Tyler in the film. Although, he is not one of my favorite actors but the way he has carried his role really prompts me to praise him. The script of the movie has succeeded in delivering the pain of break up and Wilson just look holding the character brilliantly.
One scene in the film shows him weeping, aroused due to self abusing litany of his own wrong deeds, and punch of the scene further moved anybody to believe its real, it’s just going on. Here, where you find the actor and character difference just gone out of boundary. Although the movie is emotional based on break up and right and wrong sorts of things but the way Wilson played the character brings tears to the eyes. All the actors played their characters perfectly making the movie a success. Also Director James Gunn has done his job comprehensively, and producers of the film are Miranda Bailey, Ted Hope.

The Tourist film was nominated for the three Golden Globes. The film was released on 10th December, 2010. This film had got lots of popularity among people. Really, I like this film, especially Angellina Jolie who looks superb in the film.
In this film, she played the role of Elise who is being trailed in Paris by French police working with Scotland Yard. The film starts with Elise (Jolie) receives a letter from Alexander Pearce who is her lover, with open directions to board a train to Venice, Italy, pick out a man who resembles him and make the police believe that this man is Alexander Pearce. Truly, I hope more from this film but it does not work as per my expectations. If you are the big fan of Angelina Jolie then you have to check-out this film for at least one.

Kevin Smith may have trouble squeezing into an airplane seat, but he’s got no problem filling the director’s chair for his latest film, Cop Out. Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan starring as veteran NYPD officers in the film attempting to track down some stolen baseball cards. Unluckily, Kevin Smith was able to squeeze out more entertainment from his recent Southwest-bashing tweets than he was from this feature film.
The screen begins with an interrogation scene and subsequent stakeout. The two are unfazed by the setback, though Jimmy soon confronts a dilemma that does engage him — his daughter is set to be married, and his ex-wife’s smarmy new husband (Jason Lee) is hoping to usurp Jimmy’s paterfamilias bona fides by offering to pay for the extravagant wedding himself.
Overall Cop Out is a complete mess. It was unable to find a rhythm, it can’t keep its characters in line, and the main storyline is weak. It is not a mystery movie nor it works as a buddy picture, and it certainly isn’t funny enough to work as a comedy movie. Most of the time Willis seems vaguely distracted, if not irritated.

Once again, DiCaprio has proved his mettle to be one of the greatest young actors of our time. DiCaprio portrays the role of a man who is burdened by inner demons but struggles to maintain an outward appearance of the man he once was. His ability to characterize a man overwhelmed by the spectrum of human emotions is what makes him a constant in some of the greatest films to appear in the last decade or so.
DiCaprio’s lineup of highly acclaimed films includes Gangs of New York, Catch Me if You Can, The Departed, Romeo and Juliet, and Titanic. His latest movies, Revolutionary Road and Shutter Island, have exploit the human psyche and focused on the necessity of self-actualization, capturing the attention of the most intellectual moviegoers.
Shutter Island typify the essence of a true thriller, from its fascinating mystery to its plot twists. The determination to find the true good guy and bad guy will keep moviegoers engaged from the very beginning to the final scene.
To summarize the film both asks and answers the question, “Would you rather die a good man or live like a monster?” In spite of the simplicity of the question, Shutter Island is embrace of all the complexities necessary for a electrifying and compelling plot.
