mad5226 Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Dubbsie Films Title- Into the Mine Lead Actor- Joseph Gordon Levitt Lead Actress- Alexis Bledel Supporting Actor- Steve Buscemi Supporting Actor #2 - Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson Supporting Actress- N/A Director - David Lynch Genre- Drama/Thriller Plot- Set in unexplained dystopian setting, AWOL soldier Warren Roberts (Joseph Gordon Levitt) arrives at the Gypsum mine near the remanants of Carson City, Nevada seeking vengeance for the brutal killing of his wife Alyssa (Alexis Bledel), whom he suspects was killed by infamous ruffian Ty Rhodes, who is currently laying low as a miner. Roberts, having never seen Ty Rhodes, has opted to take a position in the mine, while he tries to figure out which of his new coworkers is responsible for his wife's death. Warren, a recent military school graduate, is largely unprepared for the reality of the unnature mines near Carson city. Into the Mine highlights Warren's simultaneous descent into the mine and madness, as the conditions of the mine, the loss and memories of his wife, and the taunting of mine boss "Brick" (played by Dwayne Johnson) begin to twist his perceptions of reality. Miserable in the mine, Warren's memories of his wife turn to haunted visions, and Alyssa begins to appear before him in a series of visions. As his grasp of reality grows weaker, Warren is soon unable to distinguish between the memories of his wife, fantasies of his wife, and reality. Her appearance affects Warren's work and creates a host of dangerous situations, which earn Warren the scorn of the other miners and a horrific beating by Brick. Warren's only friend in the mine is the talkative tunnel man Holden Path (Steve Bescemi), who seems intent on learning everything he can about the young AWOL officer. The narrative of the film is intended to lead the audience to believe that Brick is the killer of Warren's wife (through the use of the conflict between Brick and Warren, the flashbacks and visions that Warren has of Alyssa, and the rumors that Warren hears from the other miners (especially Holden)). Towards the climax, as Warren becomes convinced that Brick killed his wife, Warren and Holden device a plan to trap Brick and kill him (as he's simply too big and too strong to confront face to face). It's at this point that Holden springs the trap on Warren, revealing that he actually killed his wife. Holden takes his time and describes the act (in all of its horrible detail), which gives Warren enough time to slip free and kill him with a rock. All is not done for Warren, however, as the film ends with Brick using a beat-up satellite phone to contact the military to the inform them that he thinks one of their AWOL junior officers is in his mine. Into the Mine is a gritty, R-rated film that makes use of dark scenes, harsh language, and old school special effects. Location- Filmed in the US (in a mine in the New Mexico) Budget- 290,000 (cast & crew) + 500,000 (production) = 790,000 Duration - 106 minutes Prices and budgets are just estimates. First film, so had no idea what I was able to start with. Please feel free to correct. Dubbsie Films debuts with, Into the Mine, A story of an AWOL soldier who goes searching for his wife’s killer. The trail hunt leads him to take a job working at an old mine owned by a man named Brick (Dwayne Johnson). While working in the mine the Soldier, Warren (played by Joseph Gordon Levitt) starts to go insane and begins to have visions of his dead wife. As the story progresses Warren’s visions get worse, and he starts to lose focus on what’s real and what’s not. Levitt portrays this perfectly and you really start to sense that he might be losing his mind. To make matters worse for Warren he believes he has found his wife’s killer and that it’s his boss Brick. Which let’s face it, with a name like that I would suspect him too. This leaves Warren to formulate a plan with another worker in the mine who we learn later is the actual killer. If you’re looking for suspense this movie is full of it. If you’re looking for character development you can find it here as well. In fact the only head scratching thing about this movie was the end when Brick decides to call the military to inform them that Warren is in fact AWOL and working at the mine. Overall I would say this movie was a resounding success and I can’t wait until Dubbsie Films produces another. Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Stars Revenue: 3,000,000 Effects: Joseph Gordon Levitt has become more popular and now wants 60,000 a movie Dwayne Johnson has announced that he wants to be the star in his next film and will only work as a Lead Actor. During Production a tornado blew through New Mexico and cost the studio 50,000 dollars in repairs and maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Studio - Ascending Numbers Production Pre-Filming Bank Balance - $8.4 Million Title- The Infected Lead Actor- Paul Walker (30,000) Lead Actress- Scarlett Johansson (50,000) Supporting Actor- Robert DeNiro (150,000), Vin Diesel (50,000) Supporting Actress- N/A Director- James Cameron (250,000) Genre- Action Plot- 2012 was meant to be the end of the world, it wasn't, however it was the turing point for one state, New York. After a chemical leak the state is quickly evacuated, leading to many civilians being left inside state borders (which are quickly baracaded & fenced off). 2 years later (2014), young couple Jack & Jade Moore (Paul Walker & Scarlett Johansson) wish to return to their home within the city and collect whatever personal possessions may still be there. To gain access to the city, the couple have to seek permission from the leader (Robert DeNiro) of the group of mercanaries that now control the state. To do so the couple have to lie and suggest that they just want to tour of the city and see the extent of the damage, little was reported about what happened within state limits to the world, because the mercenaries reportedly claimed possession of all items within the state. The couple are granted access, but are put under the supervision of one of the mercanaries named "Brute" (Vin Diesel). Brute reveals that due to the chemical leak the state's water supply became infected, but it was all that was left for those left behind, and the infected quickly grew violent & very terratorial. Those who refused to drink the water died from dehydration. At the end of their first day within the walls, the group (Jack, Jade & Brute) are forced into a large apartment building by a horde of the infected (after a mass fight & gun-fight with the infected of course ). Once the action seems like it had died down the infected start emerging from several of the apartments, providing more infected killing goodness. In the morning Jack & Jade sneak off, stealing the car being used to transport them around, and procede back their house, where they are seen reminiscing about their past, before picking up some suitcases and a metal briefcase. Just as they begin driving off, Brute is seen speeding around the corner. This leads to an epic car chase, featuring many stunts & tricks, as Jack & Jade try to approach the state limits. The chase comes to a conclusion when both cars collide and veer off the road, just yards away from the state border. A fight scene comences between Jack & Brute, that is brought to a halt when a group of the infected attack forcing the pair (and Jade) to team up shortly. However once the infected are defeated Jack reveals a gun, and forces Brute down to his knees. Jade quickly checks the contents of the metal briefcase and pulls out a test tube marked "Virus", as Jack reveals to Brute that what they went through all this trouble for was the virus itself, as they were the ones that created it, before pulling the trigger on the gun, killing Brute instantly. The couple walk off, their voices slowly fading. Those listening carefully heard the following conversation between the couple: Jade: "So, where are we going to infect next" Jack: "The whole world!" Location- New York Budget- $3.5 Million ($530'000 Actors + $2'970'000 Production) Duration- 1 Hour 52 Minutes (102 Minutes) Studio Notes- -The final selection for the lead role came down to Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, 50 Cent & Paul Walker, with the nod going to Walker. -Scarlett Johansson's role was never under question, as she was the top of a 1 woman shortlist. -The supporting role was a decision between DeNiro & Al Pacino. -The company has invested a large amount on this film, believing the old-adage, got to spend money to make money. -James Cameron was chosen as director due to his abilty to make believable action scenes, and his knowledge of how to use special effects/make-up to make a film look just right.

Apocalypse Jones takes you on a whirlwind adventure of love, mystery, and even betrayal in some form. Will Smith, known for his share of alien roles continues to show why he is still being used. His personality draws you in and makes you want to believe everything he says. You feel his pain at the end of the movie when he tells Maria he can’t be with her. The acting of Rampage Jackson did take away from the overall story a bit, he just had to big a role and he wasn’t ready for it. Aside from the minor production flaws that all small companies seem to face I would say this film was a moderate success and it will be interesting to see if Better In than Out Studios can start to gain some momentum going forward. Rating: 2.5 out of 5 Stars Revenue: 1,250,000 Effects: Will Smith now wants 150,000 per movie Christopher Walken now wants 100,000 per movie The Sci-fi craze has ended and there will be no more perks to making them.

You have it listed as a horror, which I get because of all the perks involved, but it reads more like a suspense/drama type film. I only point this out because the movie sounds pretty awesome but it doesn't have any of the feel of a horror flick so it's going to drastically bring down the grade. I'm not saying you have to change it, just trying to tell you how it reads to me. Does anyone else get the same vibe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In it Kit Harington plays an actor who is slowly going off the deep end. His love interest played by Zoe Lister remains by his side and seems to constantly be in an annoyingly good mood. Harington starts to have worse and worse nightmares that suck in further and further away from reality. All the while, his girlfriend is there being so damn cheery. The climax to the movie comes when the two are having a picnic and Harington unable to tell real from fake kills his girlfriend leaving Kit distraught as the credits role. </p><p> If you’re looking for a movie that has a fantastic storyline and phenomenal acting, you won’t find it here.

For the current administration, the ammunition contract was part of a final, desperate effort to turn the war around in time for the upcoming presidential election. </p><p> </p><p> Working with nothing but an Internet connection, two cell phones and a steady supply of weed, the two friends David (Shia Lebouf) and Edward (Aaron Johnson) in their early twenties — one with nothing more than a few college credits, the other a high school dropout —created a company which sold old Soviet arms and ammunition through the Pentagon to local armies in Iraq and Afghanistan, and in doing so beat out the traditional arms giants to secure a $300 million arms contract.

After three weeks of desperate negotiating, placing immense strain on the two young potheads in charge of the shipment, who are shown to become more and more desperate and irrational as negotiations drag on.

In it Shia LeBouf and Aaron Johnson plan a couple of stoner dropouts who are able to do something unimagined by most, sell millions of dollars’ worth of weapons to fund the war in the Middle East. As a result the two happy go lucky stoners enjoy the life they only dreamed of. One where they could get all the girls and drugs they wanted, all while sending weapons across the world.

Daniel (Eric Bana) is tasked by the village leader (Josh Brolin) to find some food and along the way stumbles across Rona (Kaley Cuoco) laying wounded in the wasteland.

The story takes place on a futuristic Earth where war has made everything virtually unrecognizable. Eric Bana plays a villager by the name of Daniel who is tasked to find some food for his village before everyone dies of starvation. During this journey he comes across the half-naked Rona, played by the beautiful Kaley Cuoco, who is badly injured. Daniel patches the girl up and a romance starts to ensue. Eventually the two come across a hut loaded with food, but upon entering Daniel gets trapped in the floor boards and unable to escape. Rona is mortified and wants nothing else but to die next to her love, but he convinces her to take the food back to his village and get help. A tear-filled Rona does just that, but everyone in the village is to overcome with the joy of having food to help. The movie ends with Daniel laying there helpless and finally closing his eyes.</p><p> If you enjoy dramas then this movie is a must see. I watched it twice and cried at the end both times. The chemistry between Bana and Cuoco is amazing and you can feel the emotion in the air. Cuoco gives the performance of her life and should easily be nominated for an Oscar. You can feel her pain the second Daniel runs up on her for the first time, and sense her sorrow as she leaves him in the hut. The story for this movie is simple and straight forward, but has enough character development to really make it stand on its own.

To do so the couple have to lie and suggest that they just want to tour of the city and see the extent of the damage, little was reported about what happened within state limits to the world, because the mercenaries reportedly claimed possession of all items within the state.

Based in the not so distant future, Landon Johnson (Ackles) is the step-son of Michael Johnson (Djimon Hounsou), who has a rocky relationship with Landon, and they are a part of a rag tag gang of mercenaries. This action flick follows a story of Global Warming in full effect and seeing the team fight to save the only man who can reverse the effects.</p><p> </p><p> Djimon and his team travel to the South Pole where they encounter a heavy wave of automatic weapons in order to save Cass (Denzel Washington) who has the key to reversing the effects of Global warming on the world. While leaving the facility where Cass was located we run into our Villain Lord Hammonds (Bettany) for the first time as he tries to take Cass for his own profit and gain. The gain escapes with Cass and make their way north.</p><p> Michael Johnson is contacted by the U.S President Ben Walker (Brolin) who informs him to deliver Cass to them or else.</p><p> </p><p> Cass informs the team that his fix to the climate is a bomb he made, but that he needs the parts. He also tells them that he is wanted because this would give power to anyone who used it. This leads the team on a world wind tour of the greatest cities that have been ravaged by the rising water levels including Miami. They also realize that he isn’t in his right mind and drugs are his candy.</p><p> </p><p> Headed towards the North Pole to set off the bomb the team comes back to find their leader (Michael Johnson) and their retrieved items all missing with a note. Landon knows there is only one person who knows the security of their boat and that is his ex-fling Mia (Kunis). The team heads to underwater New York which is now territory of Mia’s gang to retrieve Michael and their items. We see one of the best action scenes in a while when Grunt (Diesel) runs through walls taking out members of Mia gang who cornered Landon and the Reyes boys. Landon and Mia finale met again, but Mia informs the gang she doesn’t have Michael. Landon and the crew take Mia hostage to ensure their safety from NY, but soon find out that Mia is unwanted and now have to fight their way out with Mia alongside them.</p><p> </p><p> The Crew arrives back at the boat with a message from Lord Hammonds that informs them to bring Cass for Michael’s where about. Arriving at Dubai the crew battles towards Lord Hammonds hide out leaving Cass and Grunt behind on the boat. They reach Hammonds, but it’s a trap as Hammonds had sent people to the boat for Cass. Grunt fights off some goons but then is stab through the heart from behind by a ninja in a mask. Grunt fights him for a little, but he soon dies from loss of blood. The crew is informed that “HE” has Michael and even Hammonds wouldn’t mess with “HE”, they are then gassed and left for dead while Hammonds makes his way to the North Pole with Cass and the bomb. The Crew wakes up and makes their way through Hammonds remaining forces and towards Hammonds. </p><p> After a battle on Hammonds boat the team gains control back of Cass and the bomb and set the boat to full speed toward President Walker. An all out race begins with the crew trying to reach the center of the North Pole to set the bomb off. Landon is shot while trying to reach the launch button after they are blown away from the bomb. Landon lies in a pool of blood while the team grabs him to escape. </p><p> </p><p> Landon lies in a hospital bed fighting off death, he has a dream of Michael who informs him that “HE” will never stop and that Landon needs to find him and stop him no matter what. The dream felt real and Landon wakes up screaming Michael, but only Mia, Reyes brothers, and Cass are there. As they inform him of what happened a news report comes on introducing the new President of the U.S (Walker died when the boat crashed into the shore) Michael Johnson is introduced as the new U.S President then the power shuts off and a small army is coming from them, the team fights them off as Cass tries to save Landon who is still hurt. Landon believes they want payback, but Cass informs him that they are after him. When Landon asks why they are still after Cass, Cass tells him because he could reverse the effects just as fast if someone wanted to use him to gain control of stuff. Landon can’t believe what has happened to them and now they have to go through it again. Landon also realizes that if they lose the world loses, he calls Cass’ name and Cass turns around to Landon holding a .45 to his head. Landon says sorry and Cass says thank you as Landon shoots. The crew escapes and the screen fades out to Landon saying to the crew “Next….

His band, Handshakes and Hand Grenades, had come out of nowhere as an indie hit, making into the Billboard Top 40. Silas and the band were in the process of negotiating a buyout from their current contract in order to sign one of the many lucrative offers from the major labels. This made the brash and young Helms feel invincible.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> The Silas liked to have a good time both on stage and backstage, frequently being drunk by the time he got on stage and managing to be worse by the end of the set. His entire world would turn upside down following and after party. Driving drunk wasn't anything new to Helms and every other night he had gotten lucky. On this night however, Helms would lose control of his car, flipping several times, and being thrown from the vehicle.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> It didn't take long for the news to hit every major news outlet. Silas was in critical condition with several broken bones and charged with Driving Under the Influence and Reckless Endangerment. The major labels now wouldn't touch the band unless they got rid of Helms, which they did. When he was no longer a part of the band, the girlfriend left too.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Silas would fall from the top of the world to rock bottom. Once healed and released from the hospital Silas would find himself in a downward spiral of drugs and alcohol, often locking himself up in his apartment for days on end. The only real friend he had left was Adam Moore (Tom Hardy), a struggling musician that moved from London to New York to try and make a career out of his music.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> It would be Moore who would find Silas on the floor of his apartment, nearly dead of an apparent suicide. Helms is rushed to the hospital and his stomach pumped. Helms would survive, and with the encouragement of Moore enters rehab.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> While in rehab Silas picks up his guitar again begin writing songs, channeling his withdrawal from drugs and alcohol into his music. By the time Helms leaves several songs written. The music is vastly different from the power rock he did with Handshakes and Hand Grenades, who are now topping the charts. His songs are more introspective and sound like bluesy alt-folk.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Helms begins to play his music in small bars with the help of Adam Moore, once again finding his groove in music. It is in one of these bars he meets Stephanie Sanders (Zooey Deschanel), a singer/songwriter determined to make it big in the Big Apple. The two hit it off and a relationship forms.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> It doesn't take long form Helms' music to catch fire and suddenly old habits begin to creep back in his life with the increased fame. He finds himself having to choose between the life he once had or the life he has with Stephanie.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> With his life now dedicated to his music and his relationship, Helms enters a studio to record his first solo album, Mistakes and Misdemeanors, an introspective album that shows his growth as a songwriter, musician, and a human. The album does remarkably well, breaking down genre walls and entering the Billboard Top 10.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> The film ends with Helms receiving a Grammy for Best Album and him giving an emotional speech.</p><p> Location- New York</p><p> Budget- $1,000,000 ($270,000 Actors + $730,000 Production)</p><p> Duration - 130 minutes.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind that at all, I don't want it to sound like I'm complaining. However, there is a bunch of admin things I want to do that I just can't because I don't want to get behind in the reviews. So I would like no one else to post a movie tonight. I have I think like 5 more to do then I'm caught up. I would like to get caught up then try to make everything run smoother all tonight. Which truth be told is going to be damn near impossible. </p><p> </p><p> Also I currently have myself and 1 other person doing reviews. I would like to get at least 1 more person on the panel. Please realize though before you volunteer that it's really a lot of work. However, if you would like to help with reviews, and more importantly be part of the Oscar panel I plan on putting together then please shoot me a PM. The more people I can get doing reviews the more time I can do admin stuff, and hopefully be able to write a movie or two of my own <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> If I'm able to get everything done today that I want then my plan is to implement the 1 worker per studio per day rule.
