Mission Impossible 4

Tom Cruise is back again after starring in not so impressive movies lately. I also was not that impressed by the last Mission Impossible movie. Mission Impossible 4 may seal his demise or it may bring back his fame.

I still remember how glad I was to watch Mission Impossible 2, especially the awesome stunts scenes and the bike chase and the final fight with the villain. Checkout the intense final sequence of MI2 in voiced in URDU :).

Brave - Trailer of Pixar's upcoming Feature

Checkout the fresh trailer of upcoming feature film from Pixar, Brave.

Launching in 2012, Pixar is featuring a female lead character for the first time in this dark feature about magic and beasts. Here's the synopsis of this movie   

Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In Brave, a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.

Cars 2 (2011)

Sequels that wont disappoint for sure

You (most certainly) have seen a movie without knowing that it stars Angelina Jolie as lead actress and Jack Black as lead actor. Just to spice it up, theres Dustin Hoffman and Jakie Chan in it too.

It scored a rare 7.7 out of 10 stars on IMDB and a 88% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Still cant figure it out? Do you even live on this earth?

Some of you might be smart enough to say you knew about the cast even before the opening of this movie in 2008. Some would even say; how hard is it to judge the voicing actor. But do pardon me as I lack that blessing.

In some cases, cast naturally gets ignored because they are just voicing over for the charismatic animated characters strutting their own colors, expressions and body language on the screen. At least for me, It become more enjoyable and intriguing to watch the animated character knowing who's voicing it. Try for example, David Schwimmer (of FRIENDS) voicing Melman (the giraffe) in Madagascar.

Sometime, I even find animated character's personality closely matching that of the voice over actor or actress. Jack Black and Eddie Murphy are good examples :) but I didn't expect Master Shifu turning out to be Dustin Hoffman.

Ok lets not spoil it anymore. Lets watch the trailer of Kung Fu Panda 2 soon to be released.

I was inspired to see as great work as Kung Fu Panda coming from a team other than PIXAR.

Oh and who wouldn't remember Lightening McQueen from CARS. I hear Cars 2 is coming out this July. Waoh, I can certainly smell back to back blockbusters coming our way.
