Hollow Man 2


Description : Hollow Man 2

At a plush cocktail party at Reisner Institute, a government think tank based in Redmond, Washington, the guests and scientists present are enjoying themselves. One such scientist, Dylan, suddenly is manipulated by an invisible force, which drags the scientist into the nearby bathroom and proceeds to brutally beat and throw Dylan around the room. Dylan apparently knows who it is, and begs the invisible man not to kill him, as he "doesn't have it", but the invisible man persists as he's "getting worse" and he's "running out of time". Though he does not know how to make more, Dylan mentions that another scientist, Maggie Dalton, knows the formula. Seemingly accepting this, the invisible man releases Dylan and tells him not to tell anyone he was here, to which he agrees. No sooner has he left, than Dylan attempts to call someone on his cell phone, but the invisible man, who only pretended to leave to see if Dylan would stay silent, smashes the phone on the ground, and slashes Dylan's neck with the broken circuit board, killing him.

Hollow Man




Description : Hollow Man

Dr. Sebastian Caine (Kevin Bacon), a brilliant but egotistical molecular biologist, is working on an invisibility serum for the U.S. military, as well as a serum that will return the subject back to visibility. Sebastian has been attempting to perfect the formula for the last 4 years, and he conducts his experiments on animals kept inside a top-secret hidden military lab accessible only to him and his staff. His current project is reversing the invisibility effect on his test subject, a female gorilla named Isabelle. Working late one night on re-configuring the molecular model of the irradiated protein that will restore Isabelle to visibility, he solves the problem and immediately reports his success to the top members of his staff.

Although work on the serum occupies nearly all of his waking hours, Sebastian becomes obsessed with his ex-girlfriend Dr. Linda McKay (Elisabeth Shue), who is a scientist on his team. Unbeknownst to him, she has become involved with Dr. Matt Kensington (Josh Brolin), another member of their research group. Sebastian and his colleagues, who also include veterinarians Sarah Kennedy (Kim Dickens) and Carter Abbey (Greg Grunberg), and technicians Frank Chase (Joey Slotnick) and Janice Walton (Mary Randle), eventually enable the serum to work on the gorilla. In celebration, the team goes out for a fancy dinner, where Sebastian makes a toast to the greatest research group in the world. To Sebastian, however, it feels like the end as reversion was the last big breakthrough.

Hancock


Description : Hancock

John Hancock (Smith) is an alcoholic man with super powers, including flight, invulnerability, immortality and super-strength. Though he uses his powers to stop criminals in his current residence of Los Angeles, his activity inadvertently causes millions of dollars in property damage due to his constant intoxication. As a result, he is routinely jeered at the crime scenes. Hancock also ignores court subpoenas from the city of Los Angeles to address the property damage he has caused.

When public relations spokesperson Ray Embrey (Bateman) departs from an unsuccessful meeting pitching his All-Heart logo for corporations who are extraordinarily charitable, he becomes trapped on railroad tracks with an incoming freight train. Hancock saves Ray's life, but he causes the train to derail and nearly injures another driver. Hancock is jeered by other drivers for causing more damage, but Ray steps in and thanks Hancock for saving his life. Ray offers to improve Hancock's public image, and Hancock grudgingly accepts. The spokesperson convinces the alcoholic superhero to permit himself to be jailed for outstanding subpoenas so they can show Los Angeles how much the city really needs Hancock. When the crime rate rises after Hancock's incarceration, the superhero is contacted by the Chief of Police. With a new costume from Ray, Hancock intervenes with a bank robbery, rescuing a cop and stopping the leader of the robbers, Red Parker (Marsan) by cutting his hand off. Parker, incarcerated, pledges revenge and recruits accomplices.

Ghost Rider


Description : Ghost Rider

In the American Old West, the Devil, Mephistopheles (Peter Fonda), sends his bounty hunter of the damned, the Ghost Rider, to retrieve a contract for a thousand corrupt souls from the town of San Venganza. Because the nature of the contract would give Mephisto the power to bring Hell to Earth, the Rider refuses to give him the contract and goes into hiding.

A century and a half later, Mephisto reaches out to seventeen-year-old stunt motorcycle rider Johnny Blaze (Matt Long), offering to cure his father's lung cancer in exchange for Johnny's soul. Johnny inadvertently 'signs' the contract when, after a paper cut, a drop of his blood lands on the signature space. The next morning Johnny awakes to discover that his father's cancer is cured, but his father is killed that same day in a motorcycle crash. Johnny accuses Mephisto of causing his father's death, but Mephisto considers their contract fulfilled. The Devil tells Johnny that he will return for him in the future when he is "needed".

Resident Evil Extinction



Description : Resident Evil (Extinction)

Alice defeats the usual obstacles, including the laser room, though she is eventually killed. Her body is taken outside and dumped into a pit. The pit is then shown to be filled with hundreds of Alice Clones. The camera zooms out from the facility's camouflaged entrance, made to look like a shack (the rest of the facility is underground). The shack is surrounded by a high fence and hundreds of zombies.

Five years after the T-virus escaped Raccoon City, it has spread around the world. As organisms are infected, the environment becomes destroyed. Alicewanders the desert wastelands of the South-Western US. Dr. Sam Isaacs considers Alice's re-capture a top priority since she has the ability to bond with the T-Virus. He tries to persuade the Umbrella board that he can use her blood to develop a permanent cure, as well as tame the infected. The new Umbrella chairman Albert Wesker (Jason O'Mara) orders Isaacs to instead use the clones to create a cure and he refuses to authorize Alice's recapture until they are sure of her location.

Resident Evil Apocalypse


Description : Resident Evil (Apocalypse)

The film begins with Alice (Milla Jovovich) recalling key events from the first film, Resident Evil. Thirteen hours after the initial T-Virus outbreak in The Hive, the Umbrella Corporation sends in a research team to re-open the complex. The team is slaughtered by zombies and Lickers. Since The Hive's entrance is not sealed, Umbrella establishes a security perimeter around Raccoon City to keep citizens in a quarantined area safe.

After surviving The Hive, Alice was recovered by Umbrella and was experimented on. She now has superhuman strength, speed and agility because the T-virus bonded with her on a cellular level, the only person yet to do so. Waking up in an empty hospital, she wanders outside to find the virus has escaped and the city is a ghost town. She arms herself with a shotgun from a police car and starts walking. (a continuation from the end of the first film.)

While Umbrella is evacuating civilians at the last open bridge, police officer Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) confers Sergeant Peyton Welles. T-Virus begins to affect citizens at the checkpoint, and Peyton is bitten. Umbrella supervisor Timothy Cain seals the exit and orders his soldiers to fire rounds over the crowd's heads, scaring them back into the infected city. Elsewhere, Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr) and other Umbrella soldiers, link up with multiple Special Tactics And Rescue Squad (S.T.A.R.S) units to defend against an onslaught of zombies. However, they are overrun, causing Carlos and his team to fall back with a bitten and infected Yuri. Jill, Peyton and a news reporter named Terri lock themselves in a Raven's Gate Church which turns out to be full of Lickers; they are saved at the last minute by the heavily armed Alice.
