Plot: The movie opens with an American military pathologist commanding a Korean assistant to dispose of formaldehyde down the drain.
The plot shifts to the present, focusing on a small family. Park Gang-du is a slow-witted man who runs a snack-bar with his father, Hee-bong. Hyun-seo is Gang-du's only daughter, a schoolgirl. Nam-joo is Gang-du's sister, and a national medalist archer. Nam-il is Gang-du's brother, an alcoholic who has not made much of himself since graduating from college.
Gang-du is sent to serve a customer and notices that a crowd has gathered along the edge of the Han River, pointing at something hanging off the Wonhyo Bridge. This turns out to be a large creature that drops into the water. The crowd throw food into the river, to see what will happen, but as the creature emerges, it attacks and devours people whole. Gang-du and an American man try to combat the creature. As Gang-du runs away from the monster, he sees Hyun-seo, recently emerged from the snack bar, unaware of the danger. Gang-du grabs her hand and tries to lead her to safety, but stumbles and grabs the hand of another girl instead. Realizing his error too late, he sees the monster grab Hyun-seo and drag her into the river.
The family grieves at the loss of the young girl. Nam-il blames Gang-du for Hyun-seo's death. Government representatives in biohazard suits arrive and demand to know who has had direct contact with the creature, to which Gang-du raises his hand. The family is dragged away to a hospital for quarantine. The Korean government announces that the monster is not only a direct risk, but also the host of a virus. While quarantined at the hospital, Gang-du receives a phone call from Hyun-seo, who is not dead, but trapped in a sewer. She is cut off as the cell phone battery runs out. No-one believes Gang-du except his family. They escape the hospital, determined to rescue Hyun-seo. In a confrontation with the creature, Hee-bong is killed. Gang-du is captured by soldiers, and Nam-il and Nam-joo separate.
Nam-il goes to a former college friend for help, and is able to trace Hyun-seo's phone call. He is betrayed and barely escapes capture. He manages to send a text message to Nam-joo with the information. Nam-joo meets the creature outside its lair, but she is knocked unconscious. Gang-du, trapped in the hospital, overhears that there is no virus, but the government is going through the motions anyway to save face (including attempting to extract Gang-du's brain to perform tests on it). After they take a sample of his brain tissue, he takes a hostage and escapes from the hospital.
Meanwhile, Hyun-seo survives in the sewer by hiding in a pipe, but she cannot escape. The creature drops the bodies of its victims nearby, saving them for later. Hyun-seo finds them dead or mortally wounded, except for one young orphan boy. She devises a plan to climb out of the sewer using the victims' clothes as a rope. The plan fails and the creature swallows the two children.
Gang-du arrives and realizes that his daughter is inside the beast. He chases it as it swims into the river. The three siblings converge on the monster, just as it is coming up on the riverbank where demonstrators are gathering to protest the use of Agent Yellow, a chemical that will be released by the government in order to combat the fictional virus. Chaos ensues as the creature comes on shore and is shot at. Agent Yellow is released, and it causes the creature to collapse temporarily. Gang-du manages to open its jaws and pull out the bodies of the two children. The creature then revives and tries to return to the river. Nam-il throws molotov cocktails at the creature, but none of them strike it. Then the homeless man who arrived with Nam-il pours gasoline on it and Nam-joo shoots a flaming arrow into its eye, setting it on fire. The creature runs towards the river, but Gang-du blocks its way, impaling it on a broken street sign. Gang-du tries to revive the children but only the orphan boy survives.

Live Free or Die Hard (Die Hard 2) - Film, Movie - Trailer
Plot: In the past few years, aging police officer John McClane (Bruce Willis) has spent his time in and out of Alcoholics Anonymous and has managed to get divorced from his wife. He is no longer employed by the police department, but has found a position with Homeland Security chasing dangerous computer hackers. On his way to turn a young hacker named Matt Foster (Justin Long) into custody, he experiences a modern version of a terrorist attack first hand when he gets stuck in traffic. A group of hackers have struck at the vulnerable United States computer infrastructure and are systematically shutting it down, beginning with the traffic light system. As they move on to crash banking networks and the stock market, the indices plummet and America’s economy becomes crippled. As usual, McClane gets caught up in the middle of the excitement. It turns out that the recently captured Matt seems bright enough to understand exactly what the terrorists are doing and what steps they are taking to achieve their mission. The sophisticated criminals have a nearly foolproof plan to bring the country to a halt, but they didn’t count on an old-school cop and his computer-smart buddy to figure things out. Soon, the crime-fighting duo of McClane and Foster are pulling out all the stops and matching wits with the terrorists, hoping to figure out the motives behind their actions and to stop them before the entire nation collapses to its knees on the anniversary day of its independence.

Film, Movie - Transformers + trailer
Description: Following a battle on Cybertron, events move to the Arctic Circle during the 1800s where Captain Archibald Witwicky is shown chipping away at a massive sheet of ice, only to break through it and fall into the abyss, landing on a robotic hand partially buried in the ice. He finds the eyes of Megatron staring back at him. Megatron burns a map showing the location of the mysterious Allspark into Witwicky's eyeglasses, which are handed down to his descendant, Sam (Shia LaBeouf), in the present day. When Witwicky buys his first car from dealer Bobby Bolivia (Bernie Mac), it happens to be the Autobot Bumblebee, and Witwicky comes under the protection of the Autobots as the Decepticons come looking for the map.
Elsewhere, Decepticon Scorponok attacks a Middle Eastern (in Qatar, as per the trailer released on 20th December 2006) Air Force base in the present day. The Allspark has also been referred to as both the Energon Cube and the Energon Crystal; the earliest description credited it as "responsible for Transformer life on Earth." According to words from LaBeouf in a recent interview, this appears to mean that it possesses the power to bring ordinary machines to life, turning them into Transformers too. In this respect, the Allspark seems similar to the Creation Matrix of the original Transformers comics.

Description: Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to '00' status. Bond's first 007 mission takes him to Uganda where he is to spy on a terrorist, Mollaka. Not everything goes to plan and Bond decides to investigate, independently of MI6, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters Dimitrios and his girlfriend, Solange. He learns that Dimitrios is involved with Le Chiffre, banker to the world's terrorist organizations. Secret Service intelligence reveals that Le Chiffre is planning to raise money in a high-stakes poker game in Montenegro at Le Casino Royale. MI6 assigns 007 to play against him, knowing that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organization. 'M' places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together and even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre. In Montenegro, Bond allies himself with Mathis MI6's local field agent, and Felix Leiter who is representing the interests of the CIA. The marathon game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax.
