A group of young men arrive at the Japanese countryside, in
the middle of a white winter, to shoot a music video. But the house they've
rented is haunted by at least two ghosts, or maybe three, or four, or 10… The
main ghosts are a white-faced mother and child, while there's also a mysterious
Thai woman, our Buppha, who floats around in a mix of sadness and yearning, neither
alive nor dead…..
"If you're naked, you will see GHOST..."
A working trip to Japan turned into a scary ghostly encounter for these young men. Will they escape alive?
A sympathetic woman and her rebellious son form a strong bond
with an investment banker whose life begins to unravel following the death of
his wife.
Davis Mitchell, a successful investment banker, struggles
after losing his wife in a tragic car crash. Despite pressure from his father
in law, Phil, to pull it together, Davis continues to unravel. What starts as a
complaint letter to a vending machine company turns into a series of letters
revealing startling personal admissions. Davis' letters catch the attention of
customer service rep, Karen Mareno and amidst emotional and financial burdens
of her own, the two form an unlikely connection. With the help of Karen and her
son, Chris, Davis starts to rebuild, beginning with the demolition of the life
he once knew.
Karen’s barely pubescent son, a cross-dressing tear away
played by Judah Lewis, forms a more significant relationship with Davis than
she does, and becomes an accomplice in the latter’s relentless coping strategy
(if that’s what it is) of dismantling every appliance and mechanism, from
fridges to office computers, he can get his hands on.
As an investment banker struggles after losing his wife in a
tragic car crash, his increasingly confessional series of letters to a vending
machine company catch the attention of a customer service rep with whom he
forms an unlikely connection.

As the movie opens, we see Davis, a successful investment banker, chatting in the car with his wife Julie, when out of nowhere the car is hit sideways. Julia dies in the accident, while Davis doesn't have as much as a scratch. At the hospital, Davis tries to buy peanut M&Ms from a vending machine, which eats his money. Davis tries to write to the vendor's customer department. Meanwhile, it's clear that mentally, Davis can't seem to process it all, and he starts withdrawing. To tell you more would spoil your viewing experience, you'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out.

After the events seen in "Avengers: Age of Ultron"
Steve Rogers aka. Captain America faces a new obstacle. As the government seeks
to regulate all superhuman activity, two sides emerge; to either side with the
Captain, or Iron Man who both have opposing views on the matter. This brings
about an epic civil war between the former allies.
Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War" finds Steve
Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to
safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results
in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of
accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The
new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps-one led by Steve
Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity
without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark's
surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
With many people fearing the actions of super heroes, the
government decides to push for the Hero Registration Act, a law that limits a
hero's actions. This results in a division in The Avengers. Iron Man stands
with this Act, claiming that their actions must be kept in check otherwise
cities will continue to be destroyed, but Captain America feels that saving the
world is daring enough and that they cannot rely on the government to protect
the world. This escalates into an all-out war between Team Iron Man (Iron Man,
Black Panther, Vision, Black Widow, War Machine, and Spiderman) and Team
Captain America (Captain America, Bucky Barnes, Falcon, Sharon Carter, Scarlett
Witch, Hawkeye, and Ant Man) while a new villain emerges.

Finding it tough to penetrate the local box-office market
with English-language Malaysian films, director Julian Cheah decided to make a
truly Malaysian film. His latest, Judi-Judi King Boss does not only feature
English, but five other languages spoken in our country – Bahasa Malaysia,
Hokkien, Mandarin, Tamil and Punjabi.
The film has six dialects popularly used in Malaysia as well
as a multi-racial ensemble cast.
Life is good for Mac Radner (Seth Rogen) and pregnant wife
Kelly (Rose Byrne), until the unruly sisters of Kappa Nu move in next door. As
loud parties continuously disrupt the peace, the couple turns to former
neighbor and onetime enemy Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron) for help. Now united with
the fraternity stud, the trio devises schemes to get the wild sorority off the
block. Unfortunately, the rebellious young women refuse to go down without a
fight.
After a sorority moves in next door, which is even more
debaucherous than the fraternity before it, Mac and Kelly have to ask for help
from their former enemy, Teddy.
Bad Neighbours 2 is incredibly funny from start to finish -
producing wall to wall jokes that hit more often than not. That being said -
there are some jokes that don't fly, but this would be applicable to most
modern comedies.
There's a surprisingly progressive bent to the story that
looks at just how messed up the Greek system is in American colleges. In fact,
the opening scene informs us that only male fraternities are allowed throw
parties and the ones shown in the film are just awful; signs reading NO MEANS
YES and neon phallus pointing towards the bedroom.
Mac and Kelly Radner are expecting their second child when
the sorority sisters of Kappa Nu move in to their neighbouring house. The
husband and wife turn to their former enemy and former neighbour, Teddy, for
help with the problems caused by their new bad neighbours.
A magnetic field anomaly allows a man to phone back into the
past to his wife, who was murdered years ago. But to save her, he must identify

Since his wife has been murdered, Dong-ho has lost the light
in his life. The successful businessman is broken and falls into depression,
though he tries to continue with his life. But as long the killer is still out
there, Dong-ho can't come clean with his loss. Then one day he gets a call and
can't believe his eyes: he is talking to his dead wife! First he believes this
must be a bad joke, but the woman knows things only his wife can know. Dong-ho
can't believe his luck, because now he has the chance to save her life, but he
has to be as quick as possible. He thinks a magnetic field anomaly allows him
to talk to his wife. This means that he has to identify the killer and warn his
wife before the anomaly disappears again.
Gyun-Woo (Cha Tae-Hyun), who can't forget the sassy girl, meet
his first love (Victoria). He fell in love with her when they were in
elementary school. At the time, other kids teased her because she wasn't very
good with Korean. Despite the opposition of others, Gyun-Woo and his first love
marry. What awaits for Gyun-Woo goes beyond his imagination.
Gyun-woo falls in love with his elementary school classmate,
a sassy girl from China who is always teased as she is not fluent in the Korean
language. Several years later, the two meet again as adults. They get married
to each other despite going against both their families' approval. But things
turn rather tricky for Gyun-woo when he is having a hard time dealing with his
new married life.
The narrative of the movie is one that is rather predictable
and lacks depth. The development of the story was hasty, and it did not help
that the onscreen chemistry between Tae-hyun and Victoria is nearly zero.
Albeit Gyun-woo still aced as the comedic, happy-to-go guy. But because of the
shallow plot, even the element of ‘romantic-comedy’ was also absent.
This movie is a joint Korea-China production and aims for a
simultaneous theater release in both countries sometime next year.

A new enemy like never before has arisen for the X-Men. A super villain by the name of Apocalypse, an ancient and powerful mutant whose
roots trace back to old Egypt, wants to take over the world.
Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days
of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the
dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and
most powerful mutant from Marvel's X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many
other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands
of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team
of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto, to cleanse mankind and
create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth
hangs in the balance, Raven with the help of Professor X must lead a team of
young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete
destruction.
Now that the existence of mutants has been exposed to the
world, they wind up getting a mixed reaction – with some believing that they
are holy figures. It’s this belief that winds up in worshipers reawakening
Apocalypse, an immortal mutant from ancient Egypt who basically has the powers
of a god.
Worshiped as a god since the dawn of time, the original
mutant En Sabah Nur becomes immortal as he gathers the powers of other mutants
and awakens after thousands of years in the 1980s. Unimpressed with the state
of the world, he gathers a new Four Horsemen (characters of Angel, Magneto,
Psylocke, and Storm) to cleanse the world of the weak and lead it. It’s up to
the surviving First Class of X-Men and new recruits, led by Raven and Professor
X, to save mankind from Apocalypse.

paradise, Red, a bird with a temper problem, speedy Chuck, and the volatile

green piggies, it's up to these unlikely outcasts to figure out what the pigs
are up to.
A film about flightless birds attacked by country music
loving pigs who steal their eggs, only for the birds to steal them back by
catapulting over Piggy Island, seems a stretch.
The film begins on a tropical island populated entirely by
happy bird-creatures -- well, almost entirely. Our short-tempered hero, Red,
has been sentenced to anger management, where he meets a speed-demon fowl named
Chuck and a volatile bomb. But when a boatload of green pigs show up and drop

what these mysterious porkers are up to.

habited by birds who are naive and innocent, who know nothing of the outside
world. They treasure eggs, and are all carefree and easygoing, except for few.
Red, the lead of the film, had lost his temper quite a few
times and had gone to court and had been sentenced to anger management courses,
led by Matilda. who has also had anger issues before but turns it all into a
hippie and zen-like lifestyle. Another angry bird is Chuck, who moves fast and
talks fast. Bomb, another main character, frequently blows up due to his
disorder IED, Intermittent Explosions Disorder. Bomb lives in a bomb shelter.
The birds are visited by pigs, who are dumb but funny. The
birds and pigs befriend each other and have a party, but Red does not trust the
pigs at all.

The film
begins with a montage of landscapes. Then we see a painting, which looks just
as realistic as the cinematography we have just seen. The artwork is observed
by Gerda Wegener (Alicia Vikander). It is revealed that she is an art show when
a patron comments that Gerda's work is not as exquisite as her husbands, the
artist of the painting Gerda was admiring. The gallery owner declares Einar
Wegener (Eddie Redmayne) to be part of the one percent of gifted Danish
talents.

scene, Hans and Gerda go walking through Denmark and stop at a set of five
trees, the ones Einar had been painting early in the film. The scarf that Gerda
is wearing blows away in the wind. Hans goes to retrieve it but she tells him
to leave it alone. The piece of women's clothing floats in the sky, above the
beautiful landscapes that Einar once painted, symbolizing that Lili was finally
free.
