Tomorrowland

Tomorrowland (titled Disney Tomorrowland: A World Beyond in the United Kingdom) is a 2015 American science fiction mystery adventure film directed by Brad Bird, and co-written and produced by Bird and Damon Lindelof. The film stars George Clooney, Britt Robertson, Hugh Laurie, Raffey Cassidy, Thomas Robinson, Kathryn Hahn, Tim McGraw, Keegan-Michael Key, and Judy Greer.
Frank (George Clooney) and Casey (Britt Robertson) travel to a place somewhere in time and space only known as Tomorrowland where their actions directly affect the world and themselves.
Casey, the daughter of a NASA engineer (played, inexplicably, by Tim McGraw), gets arrested for trying to save her father's job, as well as a NASA structure that apparently means a lot to her. Upon being released, she acquires a pin from the 1964 World's Fair, given to her by a mysterious young girl (Raffey Cassidy in what should be a star-making performance). When Casey touches the pin, she's transported to a utopian city…sort of. The futuristic city, all sky-scarping structures and gleaming glass and majestic monuments, seems to exist in one realm while Casey still physically remains in this one.
So Casey, a curious young woman with a stubborn streak to match her fervid intellect, embarks on a journey to find out what it all means. Soon, robots are trying to disintegrate her. Enter grumpy George Clooney and his cadre of fancy gizmos and gadgets. He knows something about Tomorrowland and could help Casey if only he’d stop being so grumpy.
Above all else, Bird has crafted a gorgeous world rife with creativity and inventive images.

Poltergeist

Poltergeist is an American 3D supernatural thriller-fantasy horror film directed by Gil Kenan, written by David Lindsay-Abaire and produced by Sam Raimi. A reboot and remake of Steven Spielberg's and Tobe Hooper's 1982 film of the same name, the film stars Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Jared Harris, and Jane Adams.
The film has an interesting plot. This film re-imagines the classic Tobe Hooper tale about a family whose suburban home is invaded by angry spirits. When the terrifying apparitions escalate their attacks inside a suburban house in a quiet wealthy neighborhood and take the family's youngest daughter, the family must come together to rescue her.
A successful real estate agent Eric (Sam Rockwell) has recently been laid off from his job; his wife, Amy (Rosemarie DeWitt), is no longer simply a homemaker, but rather an unsuccessful writer who effectively functions as a homemaker.
Faced with financial pressures, the two have moved their three children to an idyllic yet permanently overcast suburban community. These kids include bratty teenager Kendra (Saxon Sharbino), cherubic 6-year-old Madison (Kennedi Clements), and middle child Griffin (Kyle Catlett), who is afflicted with a level of anxiety and is the first to notice strange, ghostly phenomena in their new abode.
All three youngsters are chained to their phones, tablets and remote-controlled drones, which are employed to mildly novel use throughout. T0he kids are being attacked by demonic clown dolls and reanimated corpses, and Madison, magnetically drawn to a malfunctioning TV set, is quickly abducted by the house’s malevolent spirits. From here, Kenan mimics the story beats of the original almost exactly, as the family turns first to a paranormal academic (Jane Adams), and later to a flamboyant medium (Jared Harris) to try to rescue their little one.

Big Game

Big Game is a 2014 Finnish action adventure film directed by Jalmari Helander, based on the 2013 book of the same name. The film stars Samuel L. Jackson, Onni Tommila, Felicity Huffman, Victor Garber, Ted Levine, Jim Broadbent, and Ray Stevenson.
The film has an interesting story. In the rugged countryside of Finland, a young thirteen-year-old (Onni Tommila) embarks on a traditional quest to prove himself by spending 24 hours alone in the wild, armed with only a bow and arrow. After witnessing a spectacular crash, he discovers the escape pod from Air Force One, containing the President of the United States (Samuel L. Jackson). When they realize a group of kidnappers is hot on their trail with the intention of taking the president, this unlikely duo must escape their hunters as they search for the American Special Forces team sent out to find them
Jackson stars as the President of the United States, who's travelling aboard Air Force One to a pre-G8 summit in Helsinki when disaster strikes. Someone, it seems, has disabled the plane's defensive capabilities. An inside man? As a missile careers towards the jet courtesy of some Middle Eastern Revolutionaries, our president is manhandled into an evacuation pod by shifty Secret Service agent Morris (Ray Stevenson) and jettisoned deep into the Nordic wilderness.
Jackson's Leader of the Free World is a bona fide wimp, incapable of handling himself in a fight and certainly not versed in the ways of cocking an automatic weapon. Fortunately a saviour comes in the shape of a 13-year-old bowman called Oscari (Onni Tommie), who is on a rite-of-passage mission to spend 24 hours in the wilderness alone and bag himself his first ever stag.
The problem is, Oscari can barely bend his bowstring to shoot an arrow, so when the terrorists turn up, what ensues is a knowingly daft cavalcade of one-sided scraps, helicopter chases and Jackson taking a tumble down a mountain in a chest freezer. "Instead of looking tough," says Oscari, "we have to be tough."

Extraordinaari

Extraordinaari is a film produced by Sunil Kumar Bansal, directed by Sunanda Shyamal Mitra with cast consisting of Rituparna Sengupta, Abhishek Gupta, Flossey Fernandes, Shahbaz Khan, Mahi Kaur, Charu Verma and Waqar Khan. Lyrics are by Ravi Basnet & Traditional and music by Hriju Roy.

The movie has an interesting plot. Extraordinaari (2015) Hindi Movie depicts a story of a woman who derives passion for an unique challenge of carving out models from 10 underprivileged women in the society. She works rigorously to teach them up despite facing several adversities but finally succeeds in winning an essential beauty pageant event along with her team thus proving the reality that “Nothing Can Stop A Desperate Woman”.
