Max Payne
While I don’t think the underlying feelings and emotions that made the game such a great story can translate all that well to the big screen, the movie doesn’t look half-bad. The film is directed by John Moore and stars Mark Wahlberg in the titular role. It follows with Mila Kunis as Mona Sax, the dangerous assassin out for revenge.

Quarantine
So I got a new movie trailer in my Inbox thanks to Sony Studios and it’s titled Quarantine. The plot goes something a bit like this:
Television reporter Angela Vidal (Jennifer Carpenter) and her cameraman (Steve Harris) are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. After a routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building, they find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curdling screams coming from one of the apartments. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by a mysterious disease which turns victims into bloodthirsty psychopaths. After a few of the residents are viciously attacked, they try to escape with the news crew in tow, only to find that the CDC has quarantined the building. Phones, internet, televisions and cell phone access have been cut-off, and officials are not relaying information to those locked inside. When the quarantine is finally lifted, the only evidence of what took place is the news crew’s videotape.
It’s like a mix of Diary of the Dead, 28 Days Later, and Cloverfield.

The Happening
Well I happened to have the chance to review a copy of M. Night’s latest flick “The Happening” and I must say . . . Damn glad I didn’t go to the theaters. For once I’ll agree with the majority opinion in that the movie was lacking in about every detail up to and including, well everything.
Although I’m sure my opinion doesn’t count for much, trust me when I say this: “Save your money.”
