Scream 4: Synopsis
The horror series that reignited the genre and grossed more than $500 Million worldwide is back! From Kevin Williamson, creator of the original SCREAM trilogy, the new film sees the return of cast members Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette, along with a group of new stars, who can hopefully stay alive long enough to figure out the new rules to this one-of-a-kind horror franchise.
“SCREAM has been such an integral part of Dimension’s history, and I look forward to continuing the franchise,” said Bob Weinstein, co-chairman The Weinstein Company. “I’ve worked with Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven on so many films at Dimension and hope to continue our successful collaboration.”
Wes Craven added, "I am delighted to accept Bob Weinstein's offer to take the reins on a whole new chapter in SCREAM history. Working with Courteney, David and Neve was a blast ten years ago and I'm sure it will be again. And I can't wait to find the talent that will bring new blood to the screen as well. Kevin is right on his game with the new script - the characters and story crackle with energy and originality - to say nothing of some of the most hair-raising scares I've seen in a script since... well, since the original SCREAM series. Let me at it."

Justin Bieber and Ashton Kutcher New Movie “What Would Kenny Do?”
Justin Bieber and social media/actor Ashton Kutcher are joining forces for a new comedy film entitled “What Would Kenny Do?“, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Justin Bieber will play a younger version of Ashton Kutcher.
Although Justin Bieber not being available to shoot the Film until 2012 because of his touring commitments, an update has since stated that the project has been under development “for months, with Bieber both in mind and on board.”
This is not the first time JB and Ashton have tried to hook-up, following reports in January that Kutcher wanted Justin Bieber to host a revamped version of his hit MTV show, Punk’d.
There’s no word on who will direct “What Would Kenny Do?” or when we can expect to see it in theaters, but with mega-talent like Justin Bieber on board, people would be crazy to let this one sit dormant for too long.
HOP [Up coming Movie]
"Hop" is a little jelly bean of a movie — sweet, absolutely lacking in nutrition and most likely to appeal to a 5-year-old.
Actually, "Hop" is nearly as much a marketing opportunity as an actual film. One can only shudder at the potential here for cuddly dolls and candy bars.
The first thing to understand about the film is that it's more "Alvin and the Chipmunks" than "Finding Nemo." Or "Despicable Me." Or "How to Train Your Dragon."
In other words, parents watching "Hop" may find themselves considering self-strangulation early and regularly.
Russell Brand voices the film's main rabbit, E.B., a furball who's in line to be the next Easter Bunny but would rather become a rock drummer.
So E.B. runs away from Easter Island (where all the candy is made by chicks who apparently never turn into chickens) to Hollywood, and immediately runs into (literally) an aimless slacker named Fred O'Hare (James Marsden, looking a bit old for slacking at 37, but game nevertheless).
After the two share wacky adventures in a Hollywood mansion and E.B. auditions for David Hasselhoff (it's that kind of movie) they eventually have to join forces to fight off a revolution on Easter Island led by a power-mad chick named Carlos (Hank Azaria), who's the best thing in the movie.
Director Tim Hill (who actually is responsible for "Alvin and the Chipmunks") knows he's playing to the tiny seats here, even though he throws in occasional phrases like "coup d'etat" just to confuse the kindergartners, and Brand gets off a few good lines.
But "Hop" is just too shrill, slick and sickly sweet for anybody's good. Watching it won't rot your teeth, but it could leave an ugly cavity in your brain.
GAME [The Movie]
Game is a whodunit suspense thriller. At least it is supposed to be one. There is murder and there is a suspense game as you wonder who may have done it - even as forensics say it was a mere suicide. So you have suspects, you have an investigator and you have twists in the tale.
Neil (Abhishek Bachchan), Vikram (Jimmy Shergil), Tisha (Shahana), OP Ramsay (Boman Irani) are called on to a private island in Greece by Kabir Malhotra (Anupam Kher) for different reasons. However on reaching there they learn that Kabir has different motives. He seeks revenge for his dead daughter. All the four people are in some way related to his daughter Maya (Sarah). Meanwhile Sia (Kangna) of the international vigilance squad is investigating the case.
No denial that there is a good deal of suspense around who may be the murderer. But the writing is severely at fault for the lack of thrill as the story progresses. Also the characters are not backed well enough. Neil's character is the sketchiest. While he is shown to be a night club owner with people gunning after him he also other realities which don't fit too well. Same with Vikram - his desperation to get a big role despite being a well established star.
What's good about Game is technically strong. It has been shot elaborately and edited as stylishly. The director's intent to make it stylish is clear and also successful. The performances too are highlights. Kangna, who just had a hit in Tanu Weds Manu, put up a better performance in Game. Abhishek Bachchan is suave and smart, Jimmy is skillful. Anupam Kher and Shahana Goswami are good. Gauhar Khar chips in. There are also some interesting dialogues written by Farhan Akhtar - a very important part as there as some major clues dropped in here and there.
Game has a strategic release as it is the first A-grade movie, along with FALTU, to hit the screens after the month long break due to the cricket world cup. And it has enough time to recover its money before the IPL kicks in. Plus the sleek is appealing for people who love such films. Director Abhinay Deo deserves full points here.
However, as pointed earlier, it lacks the thrill. So every time there is a twist revealed you would like it, but at no point will you be at the edge of your seats waiting for it. No thriller here. Let's just say it is more like a very ordinary cricket match, which does not hold interest for anyone except die-hard cricket fans; in this case people who love watching sleek suspense dramas.
