Movie Title: The Interview
This is one movie that everyone may find irresistible to see at the cinema and eagerly await it release into the market.
Social media savoir-faire have confessed that it is amazing even before seeing it. Hackers could not wait for the release of The Interview before pouncing on SONY Pictures Entertainment, threatening terrorist-style attacks on theaters.
Meanwhile, a complete lack of relevant knowledge about something has never stopped internet users from commenting fervently about it, which is why this comic movie has a user rating of 9.9 (down from a perfect 10) on IMDb.
The movie, about an utterly absurd plot to assassinate Dear Leader Kim Jong-un of North Korea, is currently pulling a 53 percent Tomato meter score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 47 (out of 100) on Metacritic.
Rogan and James Franco star as two talk show hosts given the chance to interview Kim Jong Un; enlisted by the US government as undercover agents, they are tasked with assassinating the dictator.
In response, the North Korean government has promised a “merciless” retaliation against the US if The Interview is released, calling the film an “act of war”.
In a statement published by the state-run KCNA news agency, the movie was said to be the work of “gangster moviemakers”, being labelled a “wanton act of terror.”
Opinions range from “laugh out loud funny” to “about as funny as a communist food shortage,” but clearly this isn’t the Greatest Movie of Our Time.
But that’s not why thousands of people are praising a movie they (presumably) haven’t seen. It’s about taking a stand.
The movie was finally released on Tuesday with limited view at selected theaters.
Movie Title: Selma
This movie is one of America’s best in the year 2014 as it critically examines the accomplishments of Martin Luther King Jr. without wrapping it in a grade-school civics lesson.
Selma ranks best in America simply because it focuses on one specific period in the life of Dr. King, which is the part on what he did for America; wondering explicitly what other citizens have left undone for the United States.
In this epic movie, Nigeria’s David Oyelowo stars as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Director Ava DuVernary’s film; screened in its entirety at the AFI Film Festival.
Oyelowo is a Nigerian born in Oxford, Oxfordshire, England, in the United Kingdom, to parents ofYoruba extraction. His mother worked for a railway and his father for the national airline.
He began his stage career in 1999 when he was offered a season with the Royal Shakespeare Company playing roles in Ben Jonson’s Bolpone, as the title character in Oroonoko (which he also performed in the BBC radio adaptation) and Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra (1999) alongside Guy Henry, Frances de la Tour and Alan Bates.
Oyelowo was the first black actor to play an English king in a major production of Shakespeare, and although this casting choice was initially criticised by some in the media, Oyelowo’s performance was critically acclaimed and later won the 2001 lan Charleson Award for best performance by an actor under 30 in a classical play.
To be released on the 25th of this month, the movie, Selma, mirrors the 1965 march from the city of Selma in Alabama to the state capital of Montgomery, which prompted President Johnson’s signing of the Voting Rights Acts.
The march was to protest and draw attention to the systematic and deliberate disenfranchisement of black voters in the South, a crime of power that happened long before King’s rise to prominence and continues as recently as Election Day 2014; it’s a story of the American past and the role a leader played in changing his era, but this isn’t the usual dry recounting of facts and soft-focused hero-building. It’s far more, and far better, than that.
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies 
Besides Selma, another movie that promises to entertain you within this yuletide season is The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.
Well, it is not called The Battle of The Five Armies for nothing and from a bravado opening sequence that sees furious fire-breathing dragon Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch) swooping down and unleash fiery hell on Laketown.
It proceeded into a second half which is essentially one long battle scene; it really does not let up on the pitched battles and one to one mortal combat.
Martin Freeman stars as Bilbo Baggins, alongside Ian McKellen as Gandalf and Cate Blanchett as Galadriel, in an epic fantasy that is set to culminate in a 45-minute battle scene.
Dwarves, elves, goblins and orcs are among those battling it out for their right to the treasure of Erebor; Jackson has promised that the final scene does not get monotonous: “We have a rule that we’re not allowed to go more than two or three shots of anonymous people fighting without cutting back to our principal characters.”
The Hobbit would be out by Wednesday, December 10th.
Movie Title: Unbroken
Not many people have the time to watch movies, some steal the time to do while many others can go a distance to get the latest.
Still, Wild is never less than involving as it follows Witherspoon’s Cheryl from the Mojave Desert, in the summer of 1995, to the Oregon-Washington border more than three months later, deftly maneuvering between her past and present sufferings along the way.
