The Return of Authentic Western Films with Fuqua's Magnificent
Seven I love Westerns and hoped that the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/Columbia
Picture presentation of Magnificent Seven was real enough for me to enjoy. The Antoine Fuqua directed Magnificent Seven marks
the return of authentic Western films. Based on the remake of the 1960 film, Fuqua's Magnificent Seven stars Academy Award
winner Denzel Washington as Sam Chisolm a Bounty Hunter hired to save a town called Rose from the heartless industrialist
Bartholomew played by Peter Sarsgaard (The Center of the World) who is draining the town of its people's lives and resources.
Magnificent Seven arrives in theaters (IMAX, 2D, 3D included) September 23, 2016. Sam (Washington)
is hired by Emma Culler played by Haley Bennett (The Equalizer) whose husband Matthew Cullen, played by Emmy Award winner
Matt Borner (The Normal Heart), was murder by Bartholomew (Sarsgaard) for trying to protect
a ruthless beating of a town member. Emma and townsmen Teddy Q played by Luke Grimes (American
Sniper) collect all what the town had to give in money and offered it for protection. Bounty
Hunter Chisolm enlists the help of some skillful, ruthless but kind hearted misfits to accompany
him - Josh Furraday played by Christ Pratt (Jurassic World), Goodnight Robicheaux the sharp shooter played by Academy
Award winner Ethan Hawk (Total Recall), Jack Home a tracker played by Vincent D'Onofrio
(Men in Black), Billy Rock as knife wheeling expert played by Byung-Hun Lee (Terminator
Genisys), Vasquez a Mexican Outlaw on Sam's Bounty Hunter's list played by Manuel Gracia-Rulfo
and Red Harvest a Comanche Warrior played by Martin Sensmeier. The odds are against them but their skills, the
help of the towns' people and prayer gives the film an unexpected ending that will have you too cheering
(and crying) at the end. The sound, sight and feel of Magnificent
Seven give you that authentic, out of the studio, backdrop that makes it authentic. Mix
that with IMAX, 2D and 3D and you have another iconic film to represent the seven, who
first appeared in a 1954 Japanese film titled Seven Samurai. Magnificent Seven is produced by Roger Binbaum and Todd Black,
and it also stars Jonathan Joss, Sean Bridgers, Billy Slaughter, Cam Gigandet and Vinnie
Jones. Magnificent Seven, Rated PG-13, is a LStar Capital, Village Roadshow Picture, Pin
High Production, Escape Artists production.
Warner Bros' Storks Takes You on a Delightful Road Trip Back Home The Warner Bros. Picture's animation Storks takes you on a delightful road trip back home with Andy Samberg (Cloudy
with a Chance of Meatballs) as the voice of Junior the dutiful stork up for promotion and
Katie Crown as the voice of the open hearted optimistic orphaned human Tulip. Storks is
Rated PG and arrives in IMAX, 2D and 3D theaters September 23, 2016.
An undelivered baby named Tulip ages out at 18 and must leave the stork factory called Cornerstone
on Stork Mountain which no longer delivers babies but parcels. Instead she is placed by herself in the old baby
making factory. When Tulip receives one lonely letter from a young boy named Nate, voiced
by Anton Starkman pretending to be his parents who asks for a baby boy with a Ninja kick,
she excitedly submits the letter unknowingly creating an unauthorized baby. Stork Junior,
who put her in the factory alone, is afraid his boss will find out so he takes Tulip and the baby, whom they name Diamond,
on an adventurous road trip to Nate Gardner's home with his parents Sarah Gardner voiced
by Jennifer Aniston (Horrible Bosses) and Henry Gardner voiced by Ty Burrell (Finding Dory).
His parents, to please Nate, are preparing the roof of their house for the Storks' arrival. Of course the trip has its frightful, precious, funny and awe inspiring
moments that take you on a journey that will end either with you crying or clapping in excitement - you decide
when you see. The Warner Bros. Animation Group project also stars the voices of Kelsy Grammar
(Toy Story 2) as the Cornerstone factory Boss about to retire and is looking at Junior
as a replacement, comedians Keegan-Michael Key ("Key & Peele") and Jordan
Peele ("Key & Peele") as the Alpha and Beta wolves who start out wanting to eat the baby and end up wanting
to adopt her, and Danny Trejo (The Book of Life) as Jasper the giant stork who did not
deliver Tulip as a baby who has been stalking her every since. Nicholas Stoller (Neighbors)
and Oscar nominated Doug Sweetland (Cars) directs the comedic adventure film with Stoller
as writer. Stoller also produced the animation with Brad Lewis (Antz). Executive producers of the 3D computer
animated film include Glenn Ficarra, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and John Requa. Storks is a Warner
