Plot: 
At the beginning of Fertile Ground, we see the family of Emily and Nate, a happily married couple. Nate is an artist and Emily is a fashion designer. Emily has got pregnant recently and they are having a party with friends at their home. Suddenly Emily starts bleeding in the bathroom. Later on, she has a miscarriage and the doctors tell her that she cannot conceive a child again.

Next, to give a fresh start to themselves, Emily and Kate leaves the city. They buy a house in the country, which was once owned by Nate's ancestors. Both of them are happy to move there, but from the first day, Emily starts sensing something unusual. At the basement, they find an old trunk, where they find a diary, some photos and some other things owned by Nate's forefather. That person's marriage date was same as Nate and Emily's.

Soon they discover a human skeleton hidden in their sewerage line. The police tells them not to worry, because it was very old. But Emily stays suspicious and from a local historian, she learns the horrid history of the house. There has been a lot of murders and suspicious deaths in their house previously. As Nate leaves for a business trip, Emily stays alone at that night and again faces unusual experiences. At one point, she faints.

Later, the couple learns that Emily has got pregnant again. But Nate keeps on staying busy at his studios with his arts for the nearby exhibition and ignores Emily. He also becomes more rude to her day by day. At a party in their house, Nate's agent falls from the upstairs through the window and later on, dies.

Things get worse day by day. Emily keeps on having her paranormal visions and Nate keeps on getting more and more rude to her. Emily tries to leave the house but can't. At one point, she finds that the date of their wedding, moving in to the house, getting the news of being pregnant are identical to the dates of the same events of Nate's ancestor's. She finds the links between the deaths in the house and in all of the cases, the husbands have killed their wives.

Emily believes, the house has possessed Nate and marching the dates, she predicts the day when Nate is going to kill her. But is it what the ghosts want? Can Emily save the baby and herself? Let's watch the movie to get these answers. 

My review about the movie Fertile Ground:

First of all, Fertile Ground seemed just like an average horror movie.

The plot of Fertile Ground is very common. We have seen a lot of horror movies with the haunted houses, like The Amityville Haunting, so the idea seemed overused. So this movie won't provide you something new. Other than that, everything else is good. Even with a plot like this, Fertile Ground has its moments. The movie goes scary from time to time and keeps the suspense up. The ending may not be predictable for everyone. The direction and screenplay were not bad, like the cinematography. Several times this movie felt a little boring, but those boring moments sometimes helped to build the suspension up later on.

Another problem with the plot of Fertile Ground is, although it does give an open ending like Asylum Blackout , but still it does not give explanations to everything that happened. So, you may have some questions unanswered after the movie ends, which may feel like plot holes. For example, we saw Nate drawing something but refuses to show them to Emily. But at the end, we saw only blank canvases. The ending had a good chance to explain all the things, but it didn't.

The acting of the leading characters are good in this movie. Same goes for make ups, dialogues, costumes and set designs. Fertile Ground has used almost no special effects, but the way it is made, you will not miss them. The lighting and sound effects are also good, but I think the sound editing could be better. Several times the music seemed too loud. Combining all these, Fertile Ground succeeds in its main aim as a horror movie, to create a scary environment.

For some nude scenes and some violent scenes, Fertile Ground is not appropriate for children.

So, finally, this movie seemed as a missed opportunity. Fertile Ground had the potentials, but for not taking advantages of them, it stays far from the movie it could be. But still, if you like scary movies, you should definitely give Fertile Ground a try. Even if the plot fails to impress you, you may still like the scary moments. 

Ending explanation of the movie Fertile Ground:


Note: This part contains spoiler, so the ending explanation of Fertile Ground is written in white font. To read it, select and drag the space below with your mouse pointer.

At the end, it shows in the ultrasonography that Emily was not pregnant. So it suggest that, everything she experienced was in her mind. May be there was nothing wrong with the house, the histories and Nate's behavior, but Emily got paranoid and then killed her friend and Nate. Another possible explanation is, the history of the house was real. Learning them has put a psychological pressure on Emily. And as she had a sad history with her pregnancy, she made up stuffs herself, including the pregnancy. But non of them doesn't give a clear explanation about Nate's behavior. We don't know that if he was really becoming rude or if that was also the imagination of Emily.

The fact that Emily was mentally unsound is finally shown by the ending scene of Fertile Ground when she ended up in a padded cell and was holding an imaginary child in her hands. 

So how did you like Fertile Ground? Don't forget to share your comments and ratings.

Plot:
At the beginning of Edge of Tomorrow, we see that some aliens have invaded the earth and human are fighting them in Europe. Major Cage is an U.S. Army's public relation officer who has no training or experience of combat. He is called by an army general in Europe and ordered to to cover a fight from the front line.

Understanding the danger of this job, Cage refuses to take the order. When he is pressured, he threatens the general indirectly. As a result, Cage gets arrested and then knocked down. He wakes up at the Heathrow airport, where the human troops are assembled to make the attack on aliens tomorrow. In the meantime, Cage is plotted as a deserter private and is forced to join a group who will fight the aliens with the help of some robotic attachments.

In the battlefield, Cage finds that the aliens were informed about their attack and the people keeps being slaughtered. The aliens has tricked the humans to use their final force and the humans are surely going to lose the war. After killing a special alien, Cage also gets killed. Then the strange thing happens, Cage find himself waking up again at the Heathrow airport.

But due to blood loss and insertion, Cage loses his power to turn back time. So Cage and Kate have only one chance left to kill the aliens before the aliens wipe out human race from earth on the battle next day.

My reviews about the movie Edge of Tomorrow:
First of all, Edge of Tomorrow seemed as a thrilling and fantastic movie.

The plot of Edge of Tomorrow is intriguing and innovative. It is good enough to keep you thrilled and attached to the movie from the beginning to the end. The plot regularly keep on changing the direction, so whenever you will feel that you have figured out what is going to happen next, the plot will take a turn somewhere else. But its true that sometimes seeing the same thing over and over again for the time loop may feel boring, but that feeling should not last for more than a few minutes. The ending of Edge of Tomorrow is also pretty predictable. We expected a better ending. The cinematography of this movie will seem like a pure beauty, like the movie Oblivion.

The direction of Edge of Tomorrow was fantastic, but the screenplay didn't seem completely flawless. We'll get back to that in a short while.

The casting of this movie was also brilliant. Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt seemed as the best fits for their characters and both of them has acted awesomely well in Edge of Tomorrow. No wonder Tom Cruise is one of the kings of science fictions for all the beautiful movies he has given us. The acting of the other characters were also good. Same goes for the dialogues.

The music, sound effects and the special effects will also seem brilliant in Edge of Tomorrow. The aliens looked stunning and the special effects of their fighting seemed beautiful. I wish this movie had more screen time with them. The locations, set designs, lighting, costumes and the make-ups were also perfect.

Several times in Edge of Tomorrow, it may seem like it has some plottholes or discontinuity, but most of them will be solved soon. But one of the missing parts is, after taking something from the joint force army general and then having an accident, how Kate escaped unharmed and could free Cage so easily. Same confusion stays if you think, after escaping once and then attending some crime, how they could again enter the army base to reach to their team. And the ending was dramatically too good for a movie like this, where everything fitted perfectly. So the only (a little) weak part of Edge of Tomorrow was its screenplay.

Edge of Tomorrow has no nude scenes and the gore scenes are avoided nicely, so its safe to watch this movie with kids.

So, finally, I greatly enjoyed watching Edge of Tomorrow. Even with the small flaws at the plot, it should feel like a great piece of work. I will definitely recommend this movie to all movie lovers, especially the science fiction fans. Edge of Tomorrow is a must see for you.

A scene from the movie Rio 2


Plot:
At the beginning of the movie Rio 2, we see Blu and Jewel are living a happy life in Rio de Janeiro with their three children and the friends. Jewel doesn't like the human culture in Blu and the children, but somehow they are getting along.

On an expedition of Tulio and Linda in Amazon rainforest, they find the existence of more birds of Blu's species, which they previously believed, has become extinct. They announce this news on T.V. and decides to continue their journey to find the home of these birds. This announcement instantly make them enemy of an illegal logger group's boss.

The announcement also makes Jewel excited and she pressures Blu to go to Amazon to find their real place on earth. So, Blu's family leaves their home to Amazon to find those birds. Blu takes his travel kits with him, which includes a GPS and other necessary human things. Two of Blu's friends also joins the family in their journey.

Nigel, a villain from the prequel, sees Blu leaving and follows him silently to take his revenge on Blu for the accident which makes him unable to fly anymore. An anteater and a poisonous frog joins him. The poisonous frog is in love with Nigel. Their first attempt to kill Blu fails and finally, Blu's family and Nigel's group reach the Amazon rainforest.

After some searching, Blu and his family finds the home of those birds. There Jewel finds her long lost family. Now Jewel has her father, sister and her childhood friends. Everyone adjusts there very well, everyone except Blu. Jewel's family is against everything related to humans but Blu is very much used to living in the human way.So Blu finds a very hard time adjusting there. Jewel tries to support him and tells him that they are never going to leave this place.

Since childhood, Blu is living with the humans, so he doesn't know how to survive in the jungle. One of his mistakes causes them a fight with their enemy bird group. For Blu's another mistake, those enemy birds win, for which, Jewel's family loses the hold of food of that area. This makes everyone (including Jewel) very disappointed on Ble and Blu becomes deeply depressed.

With his GPS, Blu finds Linda and Tulio, who have already got attacked by the loggers and the logger's have left them to die. Blu learns about the logger's plan to destroy that part of the forest, which also includes Jewel's family's home.

Blu warns the other birds about it. He tries to convince all the birds to fight for their land. By growing up with humans, he know the human techniques and machines and he is confident that he can stop the loggers with the help of the other birds. At the same time, Nigel and his friends plans to launch their final attack to kill Blu.

Can Blu save their home? Do the other birds trust him after all these? Can he get away from Nigel's attack? Lets watch Rio 2 to know the answers.

My review about the movie Rio 2:
First of all, I didn't like Rio 2 much.

The plot of Rio 2 was simple and very predictable. The plot will not give you any thrill at all. Sometimes, it seemed like too many things got congested in a single movie. To me, it didn't disappoint much, because I was not a big fan of its prequel, Rio. Rio 2 may seem enjoyable to children, but should not amuse the elders. We have seen several animated films like the Ice Age series, which seemed enjoyable to elders too.

Rio 2 has a good number of songs in it. Sometimes those felt as a good touch, sometimes not. But this movie badly lacked some humor elements. More humors could make it more pleasant. The animation and the use of colors was brilliant in this movie, and that's the only thing I liked about it. The direction seemed good in Rio 2, but the screenplay seemed weak.

The dialogues of all the characters were okay but nothing extraordinary. They could be prefect if they contained more humor. The character of Blu didn't seem strong enough. The characters of the villain Nigel also didn't seem strong.

So, finally, I didn't enjoy watching Rio 2 much. This movie lacked the trill from its sequel and it seemed as just a very predictable plot is moving forward. Children should love to see all those beautiful birds and other things, but it may not seem enjoyable to the grown ups. This one may seem inferior comparing with its prequel. So, I will not recommend watching Rio 2 to movie fans, even to the animation fans.

But that's just me. How did you like Rio 2? Share with us in the comments.

A Scene from the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier By Ocean's Movie Reviews
A Scene from the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Plot:
The story of Captain America: The Winter Soldier starts at two years after the big fight of The Avengers at New York. Steve (Captain America) is trying to get used to the modern lifestyle. Once he is sent to a mission by S.H.I.E.L.D. to rescue some high ranked agents from terrorist. In that mission, Steve finds agent Romanoff (Black Widow) trying to steal some data from the terrorist with a flash drive.

Steve comes back to director Fury in S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarter. He then learns about the project Insight of S.H.I.E.L.D., which is designed to to eliminate all terrorism threats from earth by using satellite controlled guns. Fury fails to retrieve data from the flash drive of Romanoff and gets suspicious. He is then attacked by the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, who try to kill him. Finally Fury manages to take shelter at Steve's house.

After coming home, Steve finds Fury there. Fury hands him the flash drive and warns him not to trust anyone. Then Fury gets shot by an assassin. Steve chases the assassin, but he escapes. Steve also finds that his next door neighbour is an undercover secret agent, who is appointed by Fury to protect Steve. On the next day, Fury dies in the surgery table. Romanoff tells Steve about the assassin, who is known as “The Winter Soldier”.

S.H.I.E.L.D. high official Pierce calls Steve and asks him about his last conversation with Fury. Steve doesn't cooperate. Then the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents tries to capture Steve, but he escapes. He then meets Romanoff, who helps him to escape from the search. Their flash drive leads them to an abandoned bunker, which is the birthplace of S.H.I.E.L.D. There, with that flash drive, they find the existence of Zola (a villain from the prequel). Zola tells them how Hydra has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. Steve and Romanoff escapes from there just before a missile shot by S.H.I.E.L.D. destroys that bunker.

They then goes to Steve's friend Sam's (Falcon) house, who, after learning all these, agrees to cooperate with them. They then interrogates another S.H.I.E.L.D. high official, and learns that Hydra, by infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D., is planning to kill all of its enemies by using Project Insight.

On their way back from there, Steve, Romanoff and Sam again get attacked by the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. This time, the Winter Soldier is leading the attach. At one time, Steve recognizes the Winter Soldier as Bucky, his best friend, who was apparently killed in a mission with him. They get caught by the S.H.I.E.L.D., but a good agent who is not a member of Hydra, saves them and brings them back to a secret location.

Steve (Captain America) now knows Hydra's plan. But can he stop it? He knows, with the help of Sam and Romanoff, he has to stop Hydra from using Project Insight, even at the price of his own life. But how will he deal with Bucky, his best friend? What can they do when the top most agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are members of Hydra? Can dead Fury come to any help? Let's watch the movie to know the answers.

My review about the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier:
First of all, I really liked the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

The plot of this movie was great. It will seem extraordinary good considering its a superhero movie. On most of the superhero movies, for example, The Amazing Spiderman, the plot stays very simple. But Captain America: The Winter Soldier has a complex plot with some political involvements, which make the movie deep and interesting. Although the ending is predictable, but that will not make you feel boring. The direction and screenplay of this movie will also seem fabulous.

All of the main and side characters of Captain America: The Winter Soldier are well reputed artists and everyone have acted well here. The dialogues are also great. You will find no imperfection with the make ups and the costume designs. Here the costume of Captain America is a little different from the prequel, but it looks nice. The lighting, set designs, camera works and special effects were very impressive. The music and sound effects were also good.

The only thing the director missed to show in Captain America: The Winter Soldier was, as it was a story after two years from the New York incident, why Captain America didn't call for The Avengers when all of their lives were at risk.

There was no scene in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which can restrict the kids from watching this movie.

Now, if you haven't already watched Captain America: The Winter Soldier, then I have two tips for you. First, don't stop watching when the end credits start. It has two in credit sequences, which will give a teaser for the next Captain America or The Avengers movie. Second, remember that this movie is full of Easter eggs, that is, stuffs hidden throughout the movie. You will be able to find most of them if you are a big fan of the comics. But if you are not, please do a google search on “Captain America: The Winter Soldier Easter eggs” after finishing the movie (as most of them will have spoilers). Even if you are not a fan of the comics of this series, but still knowing the background plots or predictions will surely amaze you.

After seeing one of the end credit sequence, I got happy to guess that, there could be a chance to bring the X-men characters with The Avengers. But after reading about the Easter eggs, I found that it is never going to happen, as the two company holds the copyright of those two sets of characters. How sad!

So, overall, Captain America: The Winter Soldier was a great movie. You will like it even if you are not a big fan of superhero movies. I will definitely recommend watching it to all movie fans.

My review about the movie 2 Guns:
First of all, I liked 2 Guns.

The plot of 2 Guns was enjoyable. Although the plot didn’t feel completely solid, and you may feel something missing in the plot, but still, you should enjoy it. Its true that the director could include some more interesting events in the plot to make it feel solid, but it seemed good nonetheless. The direction and the screenplay were also beautiful. They are good enough to keep you trilled, attached and entertained for the whole movie till the end.

The casting of 2 Guns seemed perfect and all the artists has played their parts very well. The characters of Danzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg were completely different but they mixed togather beautifully. You won’t be able to complain about any of the other characters too. The dialogues were hillarious and entertaining. The mixture of comedy and thrill has also played out nicely, like the Bad Boys movies.

The music and sound effects of 2 Guns also felt good. The lighting, camera works, costumes and the locations were good too. In the movie, you will see a limited use of special effects, but all of them will seem perfectly matched.

A nude scene and some killing scenes make 2 Guns not appropriate for children.

So, overall, 2 Guns seemed as a good movie. It had a little weak point at its plot, but perfection at every other thing has made it enjoyable. Hopefully, you will have a great time passes by watching 2 Guns. I’ll definitely recommend watching 2 Guns to all movie fans.

So, on the break of a local popular game, Evan asks the people from the neighborhood to join him in his club that will protect the neighborhood and find the murderer. People also don’t seem eager to his request.

So at the desired day, only three other men come to form the club. One of them was Bob, who is facing problem regarding the relation with his daughter. Then there is Franklin, who wanted to join the local police force and got rejected. The last one is Jamarcus who is recently divorced.

They name their club as The Neighborhood Watch. They make their jerseys, post the flyers with Evan’s number and start patrolling the neighborhood at night. They also have fun among themselves, which annoys Evan. At first, the local people and the police take them as a joke.

But people keep on getting murdered on the neighborhood. One night, while patrolling, Evan hits something with his car. The thing leaves some strange body parts and some green liquid. The Watch also finds a metal ball nearby, which has an extraordinary power to blow up things.

To stop her, Bob leaves with Franklin. That neighbor catches Evan and Jamarcus and he invites them inside. After going there, they find that they are mistaken and then Evan leaves.

When Bob returns, Evan accuses Bob for his disobedience. Bob and Franklin then throw Evan out of The Watch for his autocracy. Evan returns home and admits his condition to wife. His wife accepts it and later helps The Watch. Then Jamarcus comes to Evan’s house.

Next, The Neighborhood Watch meets again in Bob’s house. Jamarcus tells them about the plan of the aliens, that is, the aliens are soon going to invade and destroy the earth. So the fate of mankind is now depending on the actions of The Neighborhood Watch.

My review about the movie The Watch:
First of all, I didn’t like The Watch.

The plot of The Watch was not bad, although it didn’t seem something extraordinary. The idea of comedy with mixture of sci-fi, horror and fantasy seemed innovative. The ending was predictable, but the identity of the alien disguised as human will surprise you. Other than that, there was no interesting twist in the plot. The direction seemed good.

The weakest point of The Watch was the poor screenplay. The screenplay has failed to make this movie interesting or funny at all. From the beginning of the movie, you will understand it as a comedy one (you can also predict it from the casting), but the comedy elements of The Watch were not good at all. The use of humor was not entertaining enough and I doubt that any scene of the whole movie will be able to make you laugh. Just a better humor could make this movie far better. The characters themselves and the interaction between them were good, but character developments of some of the major characters were poor. You may find nothing in The Watch, which may keep you attached to the film. At some parts, it may seem boring.

The casting of The Watch is very good and all the major characters have acted well. The dialogues were good, but they could be funnier. Most of the humor of this movie comes from dialogues, where most of them are adult humor. The make-ups and the costumes were good too, especially the make-ups of the aliens.

The special effects were used at a very minimal level. More use of special effect could make The Watch more interesting. The music, sound effects, lighting, camera works and the set design were also good.

The Watch had excessive use of adult humor, some nude scenes and some gore scenes, which makes it not appropriate for kids.

So, finally, I didn’t enjoy watching The Watch at all. Most likely, it will not be able to satisfy you when you look for comedy, science fiction or horror elements. By seeing a little better than average IMDB rating of 5.7 (while I’m writing this review) may make you think its overrated there. I will not recommend watching The Watch to any movie lover.
