CONGRATULATIONS! - Cinemaniax.Net in association with NBCUniversal, congratulates our contest winners with one of the double passes to the early screening of FAST & FURIOUS 6 (IN THEATRES MAY 24TH) in original version, at the Cinéma Banque Scotia Montréal (977 rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest, Montréal, QC, H3B 4W3) on Wednesday, May 15th 2013 at 7pm.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE - Show yourself, in between 6:00PM & 6:45PM at the box office with your passes (sent by mail) to pick up your tickets for two to see FAST & FURIOUS 6.  Seats will be given for “first come first in” and will be prone to the availability of the seats. © 2013 Cybermaniax Communications.

FAST & FURIOUS 6 - Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of all-stars as the global blockbuster franchise built on speed races to its next continent in Fast & Furious 6.  Reuniting for their most high-stakes adventure yet, fan favorites Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and Elsa Pataky are joined by badass series newcomers Luke Evans and Gina Carano.

Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian’s (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin’s empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe.  But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete.

Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez).  The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London.  Payment?  Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.

Building on the worldwide blockbuster success of Fast Five and taking the action, stunts and narrative to even greater heights, Fast & Furious 6 sees director Justin Lin back behind the camera for the fourth time.  He is supported by longtime producers Neal H. Moritz and Vin Diesel, who welcome producer Clayton Townsend back to the series.  www.thefastandthefurious.com

[Review • DVD] MULAN & MULAN II

©2013 Disney

©2013 Disney

Synopsis:

When Mulan’s father is called to battle, she poses as a man to take his place in the war against the Huns. Her goal is to protect her family and find her place but if she is discovered, it will mean dishonor and her death. With help from Mushu the dragon, a lucky cricket and some zany friends, Mulan must help save China without her identity being revealed and trying to negotiate her romantic interest in her army captain.

In the sequel, Mulan is given a special mission by the Emperor. She must bring his three daughters towards arranged marriages to maintain peaceful diplomatic relations with another kingdom. Mulan finds it is her mission to teach the young women to follow their hearts. Mulan is engaged and must learn about true love as well. She also must learn what it takes to have a successful relationship when others are trying to break it apart.

Review:

Mulan was released in 1998 during the period that marked a really successful run of animated films from Disney. The film was released before Disney turned its focus towards making Pixar movies. Like some of the other Disney princess movies, the story is based on the Ballad of Hua Mulan. The story was adapted slightly for the screen; namely, the addition of musical numbers, a love interest and adorable sidekicks.

Critique du film Oblivion par Patrick Bui

Oblivion

Date de sortie du film : Vendredi 19 Avril 2013

Type de film : Science-fiction

Réalisateur du film : Joseph Kosinski

Scripteur du film : William Monahan Arvid Nelson et Joseph Kosinski

Acteurs du films :  Tom Cruise, Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Morgan Freeman, Melissa Leo, Nikolai Coster Waldou, Zoe Bell, James Rawlinas, Catherine Kim Poon, Lindsay Clift, John L Armijo, Jaylen Moore, Jeremy Sande et Andrew Breland

Studip de production : Universal Pictures

Résumé du film :

Jack Harper  est l’un des derniers réparateurs de drones stationnés sur la Terre. Dans le cadre d’une opération massive d’extraction des ressources vitales après des décennies de guerre contre la menace terrifiante que représente les Scavs, la mission de Jack touche à sa fin.

Jusque là, sa vie consistait à patrouiller le ciel à des milliers de mètres au-dessus de la surface, mais son existence est bouleversée lorsqu’il sauve une belle inconnue d’un vaisseau en déperdition. Son arrivée va déclencher une série d’événements qui vont le forcer à remettre en question tout ce qu’il connaissait et à prendre le sort de l’humanité entre ses mains.

Critique du film par Patrick Bui :

Ce film a beaucoup d’effets spéciaux , les images sont magnifiques. Cependant, l’histoire du film est très mélangeant car on passe du futur au passé tout le temps, le spectateur est tout mélangé. L’histoire est répétitif et on peut savoir déjà la suite du film sans à avoir attendre le film. Il y a un peu de longeur dans le film.

C’est un film de science-fiction avec un mélange de Prometheus et d’autres films de science-fiction.  De plus, on ne sait pas ce que Morgan Freeman faisait dans le film, son personnage est un peu inutile, il fait une apparition de temps en temps.

La musique du film est excellente.

Ce film est supposément un début de la série de films d’actions de la période estivale 2013.  Si vous êtes une fan de science-fiction pure, vous serez déçus du film mais par contre , si vous êtes un amateur d’effets spéciaux, ce film est pour vous.

Je vous conseille quand même d’aller voir ce film mais vous ne devez pas avoir une attente trop forte

[Critique • Cinéma] TRANCE

© 2013 FOX

Synopsis

Simon (interprété par James McAvoy) travaille pour une société de vente aux enchères. Un cambriolage de la toile de Goya « Witches in the air » évaluée à plusieurs millions de livres sterling a lieu durant sa vente aux enchères. Après s’être emparé de la toile afin de la cacher des malfaiteurs, Simon reçoit un coup sur la tête et perd connaissance. Lorsqu’il reprend ses esprits à l’hôpital, la toile est introuvable. Nous nous rendons compte assez rapidement qu’il faisait lui-même partie de la bande de cambrioleurs et avait l’intention de dérober la toile pour lui-même, mais à cause de la commotion cérébrale qu’il a reçue, il ne se souvient plus du tout des événements qui ont eu lieu durant le vol et où il a caché la toile. Franck (Vincent Cassel) le chef des cambrioleurs, après avoir torturé Simon engage un hypnothérapeute Élisabeth (joué par Rosario Dawson) pour l’aider à retrouver ses souvenirs. Élisabeth, quant à elle, semble avoir ses propres raisons à vouloir les aider.

Critique par Anna Li

Ce thriller psychologique réalisé par Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionnaire, Trainspotting) m’a fortement impressionnée. Tout d’abord, l’histoire qui est quand même assez tordue, a plusieurs rebondissements et m’a tenue en haleine jusqu’à la toute fin. Pendant le visionnement, vous vous demanderez sûrement qui est le véritable « méchant » dans toute cette histoire. Sans trop vous en dévoiler sur l’intrigue, je dirais que ce film emprunte des éléments de Inception (Origine) et Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Du soleil plein la tête). La trame sonore est géniale et s’agence bien avec les scènes du film. Les trois principaux personnages jouent très bien leur rôle. Ce film est comme un véritable casse-tête où certaines scènes seront confuses, mais soyez assurés que tout sera révélé avant le générique de la fin.

THE COLONY - Award-winning director Jeff Renfroe (One Point Zero, Civic Duty) delivers an action-packed, post-apocalyptic thriller in his icy feature THE COLONY. Set during the next ice-age, an outpost of colonists struggle to survive below the world’s frozen surface. Short on supplies, and plagued by illness and internal conflict, the colonists suspect the worst when they mysteriously lose contact with their only other known settlement, Colony 5. When Colony 7’s leader Briggs (Laurence Fishburne – Contagion, The Matrix Trilogy) decides to lead an expedition to discover what happened, he is challenged by Mason (Bill Paxton – Aliens, Twister), his former comrade-in-arms, who has his own ideas of what is best for the colonists. Briggs takes two volunteers on the mission, the young Graydon, and Sam (Kevin Zegers – Fifty Dead Men Walking, TV’s Gossip Girl), a strong-willed mechanic who seizes the opportunity to confront the icy wasteland that orphaned him. When they reach their destination, the team discover a threat much worse than nature and must battle to save themselves and protect their fellow colonists in what might be humanity’s last stand. A riveting, intense story of survival, humanity, and desperation, THE COLONY is a rich addition to the post-apocalyptic action genre.

Universal Pictures present the official poster for Fast & Furious 6.

Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of all-stars as the global blockbuster franchise built on speed races to its next continent in Fast & Furious 6.  Reuniting for their most high-stakes adventure yet, fan favorites Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and Elsa Pataky are joined by badass series newcomers Luke Evans and Gina Carano.

Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian’s (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin’s empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe.  But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete.

Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez).  The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London.  Payment?  Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.

THE PURGE (Trailer #1)

© 2013 Universal Studios

Universal Pictures present the first trailer for its upcoming film The Purge.

If on one night every year, you could commit any crime without facing consequences, what would you do?  In The Purge, a speculative thriller that follows one family over the course of a single night, four people will be tested to see how far they will go to protect themselves when the vicious outside world breaks into their home.

In an America wracked by crime and overcrowded prisons, the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity—including murder—becomes legal.  The police can’t be called.  Hospitals suspend help.  It’s one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment.  On this night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking.

When an intruder breaks into James Sandin’s (Ethan Hawke) gated community during the yearly lockdown, he begins a sequence of events that threatens to tear a family apart.  Now, it is up to James, his wife, Mary (Lena Headey), and their kids to make it through the night without turning into the monsters from whom they hide.

Directed by James DeMonaco (writer of Assault on Precinct 13 and The Negotiator), The Purge is produced by Jason Blum of Blumhouse (Paranormal ActivityInsidious, Sinister), Platinum Dunes’ partners Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form (The Amityville HorrorThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre), as well as Sébastien Kurt Lemercier (Assault on Precinct 13).

Durée du film : 1h34

Réalisateur du film :  Brad Anderson

Scipteur du film : Richard D’Ovidio

Acteurs du film : Halle Berry, Abigail Breslin, Morris Chestnut, Michael Eklund, David Otunga, Michael Imperioli, Justina Machado, Jose Zuniga, …

Studio de production : Tri Star

Synopsis du film :

Une opératrice du centre d’appel 911 doit affronter ses peurs pour sauver des vies lors des appels

Critique du film par Patrick Bui :

Ce film traite des appels logés au centre d’appel 911. On en reçoit des millions d’appels à chaque année à travers ces centres à travers le monde. Jordan Turner ( Halle Berry ) avait un appel traumatisant, elle a décidé de se recycler en devenant formatrice pour les nouveaux employés. Cependant, un des nouveaux employés reçoit un appel d’une fille qui s’est kidnappée et séquestrée dans le coffre d’une automobile… C’est le même tueur de l’autre événement qui s’est récidivé. C’est un film de suspense nous donnant une tension sur le bout de notre siège jusqu’à la fin du film. Ce film nous permet de voir les tensions des employés des centre d’appels sur leur type d’appels qu’ils peuvent avoir au bout du film, des situations asses stressantes parfois. Cependant, on pourrait traiter un peu plus sur le sujet des employés du centre d’appel à la place de se concentrer seulement sur Halle Berry tout au long du film.

C’est un bon film à aller voir et très divertissant

Scripteur du film : Creighton Rothenberger, Katrin Benedikt

Synopsis du film :

Lors d’une attaque terroriste nord-coréeene sur la Maison Blanche, un agent des services secrets doit sauver la vie du président américain

Critique du film par Patrick Bui :

Ce film est fait par le même réalisateur que Training Days. Ce film est rempli d’actions et de thriller du début à la fin. Vous n’allez pas vous ennuyer. Ce film est un mélange entre Die Hard, Independance Day et Training days. On dirait aussi que le film est relié à l’attentat du 11 Septembre 2001, mais dans ce film  c’est une attaque de terroristes provenant du Corée .

C’est un film que vous n’allez pas vous ennuyer du tout, surtout aux amateurs de films d’actions car vous serez servis dans ce film. Les acteurs Butler et Eckhard jouent très bien de rôle d’acteurs , c’est impressionnant.
