PLOT

20 years earlier, Rome‘s 5,000–strong Ninth Legion, under the command of Flavius Aquila, marched north carrying their treasured golden Eagle emblem. They never returned; Legion and Eagle simply vanished into the mists. Hearing a rumor that the Eagle has been seen in a tribal temple in the far north, Flavius‘ son Marcus (Tatum), determined to restore the tarnished reputation of his father, is galvanized into action. Accompanied only by his slave Esca (Bell), Marcus sets out into the vast and dangerous highlands of Scotland – to confront its savage tribes, make peace with his father‘s memory, and retrieve the hallowed Eagle. Along the way Marcus realizes that the mystery of his father‘s disappearance may well be linked to the secret of his own slave‘s identity and loyalty – a secret all the more pressing when the two come face–to–face with the warriors of the fearsome Seal Prince (Tahar Rahim).

Matt Damon stars in the thriller The Adjustment Bureau as a man who glimpses the future Fate has planned for him and realizes he wants something else. To get it, he must pursue the only woman he’s ever loved across, under and through the streets of modern-day New York. On the brink of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, ambitious politician David Norris (Damon) meets beautiful contemporary ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt)-a woman like none he’s ever known. But just as he realizes he’s falling for her, mysterious men conspire to keep the two apart. David learns he is up against the agents of Fate itself-the men of The Adjustment Bureau-who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from being together. In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let her go and accept a predetermined path…

Director-screenwriter
George Nolfi, based on the short story “Adjustment Team” by Philip K. Dick

Due Date, like The Hangover, follows the loose code that ‘everything that could go wrong, does go wrong’. It casts Zach Galifinakis, his fame coming from his first major movie – The Hangover, and alongside Robert Downey Jr the pair make a great team. Downey Jr plays uptight writer Peter Highman who after a misunderstanding on a plane with a federal marshall is put on the no-fly list, days before his pregnant wife’s due date. Like all the best buddy movies, he is forced into a situation beyond his control, in this case sharing a rental car with clueless actor Ethan Tremblay (Galifinakis) as they drive from Atlanta to LA.

It’s a madcap road trip ‘bromance’ buddy movie, with derivations of all of those coming into play, often retreading similar ground to The Hangover. It also doesn’t quite share the same hit rate of successful gags as that film or. But Due Date remains buoyant throughout thanks to the considerable chemistry of its two excellent leads. Downey Jr is on fine form. And Galifinakis essentially plays the same character as he did in The Hangover – huge, sweaty, tactless, moronic, a child in a man’s body. And like his previous collaboration with the director, he is probably the best thing in it.

Back in 2001, HBO presented us with Band Of Brothers – the most riveting World War II saga ever to grace the small screen. they look set to surpass it with The Pacific, a colossal ten-part epic giving a troops-eye view of the American response to Pearl Harbor.

Produced by Saving Private Ryan duo Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, it promises to be an unflinching and authentic account of the war in the Pacific, whilst delivering more action, drama and sheer spectacle than any other television event of 2010… or any other year.
