The Collection [ 2012 ]

Worth the price of Ticket !

Looking forward for a good film in 2012 end ? Then this is the one to be watched if you wanna look for modish ways of killing someone who hate the most then you don't have to look elsewhere. ' The Collection ' directed by Marcus Dunstan is a pretty good movie to pay attention at if you wanna get new ways of tormenting and crucifying the one you hate the most then this movie is the handbook for you.

The Collection is a sequel of the previous ' The Collector '  in which Juan Fernandez ( The Collector ) and Randall Archer in the former. The story of the first piece was mildly gripping - Burglar ( Josh Stewart ) steals into a mansion at midnight time and is kidnapped by a lunatic, psychotic slaughterer who has been present there before him. Then plays an array of deadly traps and is rigged by lunatic booby traps.

In The Collection, a masked killer / murderer traps a girl at night club and leads a rescue force to save her life. But unfortunately the armed powers fail to unleash due to the massive deadly and gruesome snares by the madman.  

In the sense mindless bloodshed is your speedy dose for the day then it is admirable to watch.

Playing for Keeps [ 2012 ]

                                | Dozy scenario |

Playing for Keeps is a Rom - Com starring Gerard Butler & Jessica Biel in the lead characters. The sweetie Noah Lomax is their little soccer kid where all the story lies. Director Gabriele Muccino fails this time to survive at the BO. His past HITS ' The Pursuit of Happyness ' and ' Seven Pounds ' along with Will Smith were worth notifying. But this time Robbie Fox ( Writer, So I Married an Axe Murderer ) fails to hand his notion pre-eminently. The film is painfully stereotyped that has a dozy impact on the spectators the minute it flashes. Probably, the film won't pay you correctly for the tickets rather due to its mere low entertainment value and a moulded hot jumble.

Playing for Keeps fails to present most likable womens viz. Judy Greer, Uma Thurman and Catherine Zeta Jones wasting their possibilities and abilities showing how happy Butler is, in bed with all the former ladies having Biel as the exception. Butler as in PS I Love You had embraced his acting powers at his best misses this year.

George ( Butler )  is a former soccer champion also a divorced ( with Biel ) having their nine year old child ( Noah Lomax ) tries to move closer to his family. He becomes the coach of his son's soccer team to procure his life back on track by sleeping with the mother's of the kids in the soccer team. As usual Stacy ( Biel ) gets closer to George getting familiar incidents to occur and ending with a soppy finale forecasting you to believe in the power of LOVE. Playing for Keeps fails to put in the power into the film as Muccino did in ' The Pursuit of Happyness ' demonstrating his skills at rom com ciné.
