James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman come together in Timur Bekmambetov’s soon-to-release Wanted. After Timur’s Russian box office hits such as Night Watch and Day Watch, Wanted turns out more to be a captivating journey of sight and sound than a typical action film.

There have already been quite a few summer action blockbuster movies this year, and the “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” tries to sneak in and make an impact. It is not going to succeed. With “The Dark Knight” already getting incredible critical and box office success, any other movie following that one is doomed, at the best, to be mediocre.

Movie audiences will forgive movies with even the most worn out plot lines, if they can be presented in a different and interesting way. The horror genre is even more restricted and if it strays from the formula too much, it just might fail.

Batman may be the dark knight, but it is the late Heath Ledger as Joker who truly haunts this movie. Director Christopher Nolan returns with star Christian Bale as Batman and by having the late Aussie actor Ledger act in ‘The Dark Knight’ they have allowed the movie to be hijacked by what is clearly one of the finest performances of the year.

IT’S the season of super heroes in Hollywood. Close on the heels of  Iron Man
, Indiana Jones and The Incredible Hulk comes Hancock , to be followed by Hellboy and Batman . But hey, John Hancock is the most unconventional of them all with his dramatic tale of what it costs the world to have a super hero, a super cop, a super saviour. For, though Hancock may save the struggling whale, men and women held hostage by unreasonable killers, potential victims of an accident, he does leave a trail of destruction behind, causing a lot of super normal people to curse him for his super skills.
