Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) HD
[quote]Kill Bill: Volume 1 is a 2003 American martial arts film
written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It stars Uma Thurman
as the Bride, who swears revenge on a team of assassins (Lucy
Liu, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, and Vivica A. Fox) and their
leader, Bill (David Carradine), after they try to kill her and
her unborn child. Her journey takes her to Tokyo, where she
battles the yakuza. [/quote]
An entire wedding party is slaughtered during a dress rehearsal
in a rural chapel: the pregnant woman in the blood-splattered
wedding dress is Black Mamba, better known as The Bride. The
assassin, Bill, and his circle known as The Vipers left The
Bride for dead, but unluckily for them she was merely comatose.
Four years later, The Bride suddenly awakens from her coma and
realizes what has been done to her. She sets off on a
ferociously focused mission, setting out to seek revenge on her
former master and his deadly squad of assassins. One by one, she
kills the various members of the assassin group. She saves Bill
for last.

Jurassic Park (1993) HD
[quote]Jurassic Park is a 1993 American science fiction
adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by
Kathleen Kennedy and Gerald R. Molen. It is the first
installment in the Jurassic Park franchise, and is based on the
1990 novel of the same name by Michael Crichton and a screenplay
written by Crichton and David Koepp. The film is set on the
fictional island of Isla Nublar, located off Central America's
Pacific Coast near Costa Rica. There, wealthy businessman John
Hammond and a team of genetic scientists have created a wildlife
park of de-extinct dinosaurs. When industrial sabotage leads to
a catastrophic shutdown of the park's power facilities and
security precautions, a small group of visitors and Hammond's
grandchildren struggle to survive and escape the perilous
island. [/quote]
The film follows two dinosaur experts -- Dr. Alan Grant (Sam
Neill) and Dr. Ellie Sattler Laura Dern) -- as they are invited
by eccentric millionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) to
preview his new amusement park on an island off Costa Rica. By
cloning DNA harvested from pre-historic insects, Hammond has
been able to create living dinosaurs for his new Jurassic Park,
an immense animal preserve housing real brachiosaurs,
dilophosaurs, triceratops, velociraptors, and a Tyrannosaur Rex.
Accompanied by cynical scientist Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum),
who is obsessed with chaos theory, and Hammond's two
grandchildren (Ariana Richards and Joseph Mazzello), they are
sent on a tour through Hammond's new resort in computer
controlled touring cars. But as a tropical storm hits the
island, knocking out the power supply, and an unscrupulous
employee (Wayne Knight) sabotages the system so that he can
smuggle dinosaur embryos out of the park, the dinosaurs start to
rage out of control. Grant then has to bring Hammond's
grandchildren back to safety as the group is pursued by the
gigantic man-eating beasts.

The Big Lebowski (1998) HD
[quote]The Big Lebowski (/ləˈbaʊski/) is a 1998
crime comedy film written, produced, and directed by Joel and
Ethan Coen. It stars Jeff Bridges as Jeffrey "The Dude"
Lebowski, a Los Angeles slacker and avid bowler. He is assaulted
as a result of mistaken identity, after which The Dude learns
that a millionaire (also named Jeffrey Lebowski) was the
intended victim. The millionaire Lebowski's trophy wife is
kidnapped, and he commissions The Dude to deliver the ransom to
secure her release; the plan goes awry when the Dude's friend
Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) schemes to keep the ransom money.
Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, David Huddleston, John Turturro
and Philip Seymour Hoffman also appear, in supporting roles.
[/quote]
The plot of this Raymond Chandler-esque comedy crime caper from
the Coen Brothers (Joel Coen and Ethan Coen) pivots around a
case of mistaken identity complicated by extortion,
double-crosses, deception, embezzlement, sex, pot, and gallons
of White Russians (made with fresh cream, please). In 1991,
unemployed '60s refugee Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski (Jeff Bridges)
grooves into his laid-back Los Angeles lifestyle. One of the
laziest men in LA, he enjoys hanging with his bowling buddies,
pompous security-store owner Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) and
mild-mannered ex-surfer Donny (Steve Buscemi). However, the
Dude's life takes an alternate route the afternoon two goons
break into his threadbare Venice, California, bungalow, rough
him up, and urinate on his living room rug. Why? Because Jackie
Treehorn (Ben Gazzara) is owed money by the wife of a certain
Jeff Lebowski. However, the goons grabbed the wrong Jeff
Lebowski. With the right info, they would have invaded the home
of philanthropic Pasadena millionaire Jeffrey Lebowski (David
Huddleston). The Dude looks up his wealthy namesake, manages to
get a replacement for his rug, and meets the millionaire's sexy
young wife Bunny (Tara Reid). Later, Jeffrey ("The Big")
Lebowski calls in the Dude to deliver a $1 million ransom for
the return of his kidnapped wife. Fine -- except that Walter
intrudes and botches the ransom drop. As events unravel, the
Dude gets caught up in the schemes of Lebowski's daughter,
erotic artist Maude (Julianne Moore), encounters both cops and
bad guys, and drifts through an elaborate bowling fantasy
sequence titled Gutterballs.

District 9 (2009) HD
[quote]District 9 is a 2009 science fiction action film directed
by Neill Blomkamp, written by Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell, and
produced by Peter Jackson and Carolynne Cunningham. It is a
co-production of New Zealand, the United States and South
Africa. The film stars Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope, and David
James, and was adapted from Blomkamp's 2006 short film Alive in
Joburg.
The film is partially presented in a found footage format by
featuring fictional interviews, news footage, and video from
surveillance cameras. The story, which explores themes of
humanity, xenophobia and social segregation, begins in an
alternate 1982, when an alien spaceship appears over
Johannesburg, South Africa[/quote]
Director Neill Blomkamp teams with producer Peter Jackson for
this tale of extraterrestrial refugees stuck in contemporary
South Africa. It's been 28 years since the aliens made first
contact, but there was never any attack from the skies, nor any
profound technological revelation capable of advancing our
society. Instead, the aliens were treated as refugees. They were
the last of their kind, and in order to accommodate them, the
government of South Africa set up a makeshift home in District 9
as politicians and world leaders debated how to handle the
situation. As the humans begin to grow wary of the unwelcome
intruders, a private company called Multi-National United (MNU)
is assigned the task of controlling the aliens. But MNU is less
interested in the aliens' welfare than attempting to understand
how their weaponry works. Should they manage to make that
breakthrough, they will receive tremendous profits to fund their
research. Unfortunately, the highly advanced weaponry requires
alien DNA in order to be activated. When MNU field operative
Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley) is exposed to biotechnology
that causes his DNA to mutate, the tensions between the aliens
and the humans intensifies. Wikus is the key to unlocking the
alien's technology, and he quickly becomes the most wanted man
on the planet. Ostracized and isolated, Wikus retreats to
District 9 in a desperate bid to shake his dogged pursuers.

Die Hard (1988) HD
[quote]Die Hard is a 1988 American action film directed by John
McTiernan, written by Jeb Stuart and Steven E. de Souza. Based
on Roderick Thorp's 1979 novel Nothing Lasts Forever, it was
produced by the Gordon Company and Silver Pictures, and
distributed by 20th Century Fox. The film follows off-duty New
York City Police Department officer John McClane (Bruce Willis)
who is caught in a Los Angeles skyscraper on Christmas Eve
during a heist led by criminal mastermind Hans Gruber (Alan
Rickman). [/quote]
It's Christmas time in L.A., and there's an employee party in
progress on the 30th floor of the Nakatomi Corporation building.
The revelry comes to a violent end when the partygoers are taken
hostage by a group of terrorists headed by Hans Gruber (Alan
Rickman), who plan to steal the 600 million dollars locked in
Nakatomi's high-tech safe. In truth, Gruber and his henchmen are
only pretending to be politically motivated to throw the
authorities off track; also in truth, Gruber has no intention of
allowing anyone to get out of the building alive. Meanwhile, New
York cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) has come to L.A. to visit
his estranged wife, Holly (Bonnie Bedelia), who happens to be
one of the hostages. Disregarding the orders of the authorities
surrounding the building, McClane, who fears nothing (except
heights), takes on the villains, armed with one handgun and
plenty of chutzpah. Until Die Hard came along, Bruce Willis was
merely that wisecracking guy on Moonlighting.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012) HD
[quote]The Dark Knight Rises is a 2012 superhero film directed
by Christopher Nolan, who co-wrote the screenplay with his
brother Jonathan Nolan, and the story with David S. Goyer.[5]
Based on the DC Comics character Batman, it is the final
installment in Nolan's The Dark Knight Trilogy, and the sequel
to The Dark Knight (2008). Christian Bale stars as Bruce Wayne /
Batman, alongside Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Anne Hathaway, Tom
Hardy, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Morgan
Freeman. Eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, the
revolutionary Bane forces Bruce Wayne to resume his role as
Batman and save Gotham City from nuclear destruction. [/quote]
It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night,
turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the
blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight
sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both
hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as
criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of
the anti-crime Dent Act. But everything will change with the
arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far
more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked
terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his
self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again,
Batman may be no match for Bane.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) HD
[quote]Terminator 2: Judgment Day (also promoted as T2) is a
1991 American science fiction action film produced and directed
by James Cameron, who co-wrote the script with William Wisher.
The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Robert
Patrick, and Edward Furlong as its principal cast. It is the
sequel to the 1984 film The Terminator, as well as the second
installment in the Terminator franchise. Terminator 2 follows
Sarah Connor (Hamilton) and her ten-year-old son John (Furlong)
as they are pursued by a new, more advanced Terminator: the
liquid metal, shapeshifting T-1000 (Patrick), sent back in time
to kill John Connor and prevent him from becoming the leader of
the human resistance. A second, less advanced Terminator
(Schwarzenegger) is also sent back in time to protect John.
[/quote]
Linda Hamilton returns as Sarah Connor, now a single mother to
rebellious teen John Connor (Edward Furlong), during the late
nineties. Having been informed by a time-traveling soldier in
the first film that John will one day grow up to become
humanity's savior from a computer-controlled Armageddon, Sarah
has responded by becoming a muscle-bound she-warrior bent on
educating John in survival tactics and battle strategies. Her
ranting about humankind's future has landed Sarah in an insane
asylum and John in the foster care system. The rebellious John
has responded to his situation by getting into scrapes with the
law. When a new and improved Terminator android called the
T-1000 (Robert Patrick) arrives from the future to eliminate
John, an older model T-800 (Schwarzenegger) is sent to protect
the boy. The T-1000, however, has the ability to morph itself
into any shape it desires, allowing it chameleon-like powers and
near indestructibility. The T-800 saves John's life and helps
break Sarah out of the institution. Staying only one step ahead
of the dogged T-1000, Sarah leads her son and the T-800 to the
headquarters of Cyberdyne Systems, the company that will invent
a robotic intelligence that will eventually take over the world.
