DJANGO UNCHAINED Character Banners

The character banners of “Django Unchained” has just been officially launched by Columbia Pictures.

 

 The banner individually feature the five characters portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz and Kerry Washington. 

Due to open in the Philippines early next year, “Django Unchained” is the latest masterwork from Oscar-winning filmmaker Quentin Tarantino.

Set in the American South two years before the Civil War, the film revolves around Django (Foxx), a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles – dead or alive. Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South’s most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Django and Schultz’s search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (DiCaprio), the proprietor of “Candyland,” an infamous plantation. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Jackson), Candie’s trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them.

If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival…

“Django Unchained” will be released in the Philippines by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International. Visit www.columbiapictures.com.ph to see the latest trailers, get free downloads and play free movie games.

Water for Elephants Movie Review

 

Life is the most spectacular show on Earth. You make your own story, you make it happen. Along with that, you choose that people that will play a very important part of your life. You decide which path to take, which train to ride, which food to eat and which people to love. And whatever happens at the end of the show, you have nothing but yourself to blame or to praise.

Water for Elephants is a based from the Sara Gruen's book by the same name. I have read the summary of the book and I am happy with the parts shown in the film. I feel that the movie presented the important parts. The story revolved around Jacob Jankowksi (Pattinson), a young man whose parents died in a car accident and is forced to live by himself. Fate brought him then to a circus train owned by August (Waltz), met Marlena (Witherspoon) and then his life is changed forever. I love the story, it's very moving and emotional. It's good also to produce movies like this, I can't remember the last time I even went to a circus.

Robert Pattinson fans should be proud. Robert's acting is far way better that he did in HP and Twilight. He was a totally different person as Jacob. Reese nevel fails to elude audience with her charm, may she be single or married in a film. Her natural elegance and beauty is a perfect distraction for Robert in the film and she's a the perfect Marlena. Waltz on the other hand, played his part very well. His wildly unpredictable character is the perfect enemy in the movie. I like how the movie started, the narration of Jacob is already as moving as his story. The Circus Show is a bit short though, I would have wanted to see more of the spectacular show. The ending is a hopeful triumph of being finally home for Jacob.

“Water for Elephants” opens May 4 in theaters from 20^th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.
