Epic Movie Review | Epic Movie Story

Story:- Mary Katherine aka MK longing for his father, Professor Bomba visits her at his old house in a forest. Professor Bomba a somewhat mad inventor lives with his dog, Ozzie in the forest where he believes lives a group of tiny warriors that protects forest. Though Bomba is delighted by the visit of her daughter, he is too near to his discovery that he unwillingly neglects MK. MK gets furious by this neglect from her father decides to leave him pasting a goodbye note to one of his monitors. Just when she is about to leave, Ozzie knocks past her and runs into the woods. MK. rusn behind her to look for him and suddenly touches a glowing, falling leaves and shrinks to a minuscule state. She discovers the group of warriors Bomba has studied, known as the Leafmen. These Leafmen led by their Queen Tara are engaged in a war against forces of rot known as the Boggans and their leader Mandrake. MK gets trapped in the middle of the war and the quest of finding her way back to human world.

Review:- Positing that there’s a secret battle in the forest between life and decay, the new animated film Epic proceeds to zoom into a world of tiny forest Samurai (called the Leaf-Men) who ride hummingbirds and fight against the forces of darkness and rot, epitomized by gray, scaly, gnarly creatures called the Boggens. Along comes ordinary-size human M.K. (voiced by Amanda Seyfried), newly arrived at the woodland home of her nutty scientist father (voiced by Jason Sudeikis) and who lands in this magic tiny forest people world just as the beautiful and ethereal Queen Tara (Beyoncé) is dying. Given a magic flower pod by the queen, M.K. joins a veteran Leaf warrior named Ronin (Colin Farrell) and a brash young rebel named Nod (Josh Hutcherson) as they seek to preserve the pod, which will help them crown their new queen if they allow it to bloom in the light of the moon during a Summer Solst … oh, forget it, it’s too elaborate to explain here. For a movie that’s so generic, Epic sure does throw a lot of contrived mythology at us.

Epic will one day live on someone’s alphabetized movie shelf right next to the 2007 spoof Epic Movie, and that rather undiscriminating consumer may well wonder which of the two is more derivative. This one was co-written and executive-produced (and production-designed) by the award-winning children’s author and illustrator William Joyce, who also wrote the charming and modestly fanciful book The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs, from which the story was adapted. His work and designs were also behind last year’s animated film Rise of the Guardians, which, too, overzealously synthesized well-worn children’s themes and folk archetypes into a movie-friendly action tale. But Rise of the Guardians had inventiveness, energy, and rapid-fire wit — all elements that Epic sorely lacks.

Salman Khan's co-star Sana Khan missing after kidnapping accusation

Sana Khan, who was Salman Khan’s favourite contestant in Bigg Boss’ sixth season and also bagged a leading role in his home production Mental, has gone missing since April 30 and the production team is worried about her next shooting schedule for the film.

Sana has been accused of helping her cousin Naved and his friends in an attempt to abduct a 15-year-old girl. Naved became friends with the minor on Facebook and they started hanging out with a mutual group of friends. But Naved proposed marriage to her and she declined. The boy continued to stalk her. The girl shut her Facebook account and completely cut herself off from him. But Naved continued to pursue her, and when she became firm, he issued threats to her.

On April 30, the gang of friends including Naved’s sister Sana, who was at the wheel, stopped the girl when she was on her way back home from her tuition in Sanpada, Navi Mumbai. Naved and his friends tried to drag her into the car, but she managed to free herself.

When she reached home, Naved, his friends and Sana had already reached there and were arguing with her mother. After they left, the girl’s mother lodged a police complaint. Naved and his friends Kshitij and Vismit were arrested the same evening. They were charged with kidnapping, wrongful restraint and trespass.

Sana though has gone underground since then. The police looked for her at her Oshiwara apartment, but she wasn’t there. She has a Mental schedule in Lavasa early next week, and the production team is now worried about the repercussions of the incident. A senior police inspector of Turbhe police station said his team are still looking for Sana.

Angelina Jolie visits anti-landmine charity

Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie’s association with charity work continues! And it looks like she is making sure that her kids, too, follow the same league when they grow up! Angelina was spotted with her kids at the headquarters of an anti-landmine charity in Scotland.

The 36-year old actress has been camped at a 16th century estate with her six children while partner Brad Pitt shoots upcoming horror film ‘World War Z’ in Glasgow – but took some time away from her picturesque surroundings to meet workers from the charity, which helps remove scattered debris from warzones across the world.

Meanwhile, Angelina, being the socially aware lady she is, visited the HALO Trust in Dumfriesshire to meet the workers from the charity, which helps remove landmines and scattered debris from warzones across the world. Jolie was quoted as saying: “It was a privilege to visit the HALO headquarters and meet their committed staff. In the aftermath of war, HALO’s mine-clearing efforts are fundamental to a safe return and community building.”

However, Angelina did not bring all her six children along; she brought the elder children - Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh, to help raise their awareness about the cause.

HALO co-founder and director Guy Willoughby told Life & Style: “She felt it was important for them to learn about land mines in a safe setting…We spent half an hour showing her four older kids what the land mine issues were and what they looked like. Then the kids went to muck around with my kids at the farm.”

Angelina Jolie has been a goodwill ambassador of UNHCR (United Nations High Commission for Refugees).

Currently, Angelina Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt, along with their six children, are staying in Scotland since Brad is filming his new zombie movie World War Z.

Bipasha Basu not missing ex-beau John Abraham

Bipasha Basu, the dusky, husky, hot sexy siren of bollywood who was in a relationship with handsome hunk John Abraham for over a decade, has split from her beau. They were an example of perfect couple for eight long years but some mishap happened between the two and John and Bips called off their relationship.

Both the ex-lovers were bold enough to accept the unpleasant happening in their life and moved on.

John got busy to firm his foot in Bollywood while on the other hand Bipasha Basu got busy with her movies and side by side involved in making new friends. She said in an interview that she no longer miss John and has moved on in life.

"Nobody plans a break up or any negative thing in your life, when it happens you deal with it, life is such that it teaches you, it heals you and you move on. I don't miss John," Bipasha said on Zoom's "Superstar Weekends" show.

They starred in films like Mahesh Bhatt's "Jism", "Madhoshi" and "Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal".

Rakhi Sawant calls Anna Hazare the 'Ram of Kalyug'

It seems that now the item girl has targeted the Gandhian crusader and left her previous choices - Congress' Rahul Gandhi and yoga guru Baba Ramdev. Drama Queen Rakhi Sawant recently expressed her strong views about Anna Hazare and his civil society team who is fighting against corruption.

Rakhi says,“ Just when things seemed to be moving in the right direction, three musketeers of Team Anna - Prashant Bhushan, Arvind Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi went ahead and spoilt everything with their high and mighty attitude! Teen tigaada, kaam bigaada! I really feel Arvind Kejriwal is the Raavan, who is trying to take advantage of Anna Hazare, who is the Ram of Kalyug. Kejriwal has an ulterior motive, and I'm sure he's going to join politics a few months down the line. Time will prove me right.”

Getting concerned about Anna’s health Rakhi says,“Right now, I'm really worried about his health. People forgot Gandhi and remember him only on his birth anniversary. Do you think they will remember Anna forever? Now he must relent and take care of his health. Arre khaa pee ke lado naa! Kejriwal and his cronies are not fasting, I wonder why? They are happily consuming meals and doing bhashanbaazi, whereas poor Anna is hungry for so many days!”

While on the same note, Rakhi contradicts her views. Rakhi says that people should not consider Anna Hazare as god. Rakhi says,“ I have seen many idols of Ganapati being made with Anna's face! My god, that's just not right! Anna, after all, is a human being. And I feel he should give importance to a strong Lokpal Bill, and not allow Kejriwal and company to keep harping about their own version. Arre koi Lakshman Rekha thode hee hai jo ek baar laga di to mit nahin sakti! I pay huge amounts of tax too, and I also want that bribery should be eradicated. Till date, I have never paid any bribery in my life! But, you can't achieve miracles overnight! There are so many strong laws against dowry, rape etc. But, have these things stopped? Anna's team has to respect the Parliament and democratic principles. And Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi etc. must not sabotage this movement!”

He said that he has plans to get hitched but he is not sure when it is going to happen as it also depends on his would-be bride.

Talking about his wedding plans in an interview, Sallu quoted as saying, “….I will definitely fulfill Aamir’s wish that I get married. But you have to wait for a bit now as shaadi kab hogi ye opposite party par bhi depend karta hai.”

Wonder who he's planning to marry? The journo asked, "A man in your position and with your looks can date any girl in the world? Suppose you could, who would you date?"

At this Salman covered his face and responded, "Right now, you have no idea how much I am trying. How much I'm trying... won't tell you for whom, but no luck. Seriously."

Naseeruddin Shah said no to Shoaib Mansoor's 'Bol'

Bol is veteran TV director Shoaib Mansoor's second feature film. His first, Khuda Ke Liye, though a passionate and worthy work, and certainly one that deserved accolades for its bravery in tackling some of Pakistan's most complex social issues, lacked the artistic sophistication required to convincingly tell a story. Bol is all set for Eid release.

News is that Naseeruddin Shah, who has worked with Shoaib in his previously acclaimed ‘Khuda Ke Liye’ was offered the pivotal role of the father ‘Hakim Sahib’ done by Pakistani actor Manzar Sehbai in the movie, but could not do it as he had already signed another movie at the same time.

The actor went on to say, “I have had the good fortune to work in Shoaib Mansoor’s Khude Ke Liye and I consider it to be the most significant film that I’ve done in my life.”

The actor, after watching the movie was heard praising the director’s honest and impeccable work along with the superlative performances by all the actors. He said, “BOL is absolutely the kind of film that Khude Ke Liye should be followed up by. It deals with an even more important statement like faith and empowerment of women. I have seldom seen a statement made with as much power and feeling as this film. This is yet another film to be proud of. I can only find myself wishing I was a part of this film”.

Not only this, the actor loved the movie to such and extent that he is showing the film to his friends and family in a couple days!
