The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010) - CAMrip mkv format

In the year 740 AD, one of Merlin's apprentices, Maxim Horvath, turns against him, joining forces with the evil sorceress, Morgana le Fay. His other two apprentices, Balthazar Blake and Veronica, come to the rescue, but are too late to save Merlin from being mortally wounded by Morgana.
Balthazar battles Horvath, and is about to be killed by Morgana. However, Veronica uses a spell to absorb Morgana into her. Morgana tries to kill Veronica from the inside, and to save Veronica, Balthazar imprisons Morgana and Veronica in the Grimhold, a prison similar to a nesting doll. Before dying, Merlin gives his remaining apprentice a dragon ring that will eventually choose the Prime Merlinian, who will become Merlin's successor and obtain his powers. Throughout history, Balthazar imprisons evil sorcerers who try to release Morgana, including Horvath, into the Grimhold while he searches for the one that will defeat Morgana.
In 2000 in modern-day Manhattan, 10-year-old Dave Stutler goes on a field trip with his class and crush, Becky. He sends her a note but loses her reply, upon which he follows it into the streets. He runs into an antique store and meets Balthazar, who is still as youthful as he was centuries ago. Realizing he is the one, Balthazar gives him the dragon ring which locks onto Dave's finger. Balthazar leaves to find the spellbook while Dave uses the ring to open a passage revealing the Grimhold. Upon opening it, it unleashes Horvath. Horvath and Balthazar battle for it, but end up imprisoned in a mystical vase. Afterward, Dave is traumatized and humiliated when he is rediscovered by his teacher and classmates with his pants wet.
The film then jumps forward to a 20-year-old Dave who is now a college physics student, who has gone through therapy for 10 years, and has once again made the acquaintance of Becky. Meanwhile, Horvath escapes the vase first and throws it out a window. Balthazar manages to escape just before the vase hits the ground and shatters. Horvath attempts to find Dave, who is the last person he remembers possessing the doll. He visits Dave and asks where the Grimhold is; when Dave can't tell him where the Grimhold is, he unleashes a pack of "wolf calender" wolves on Dave. Fortunately, Balthazar rescues him, turns the wolves into puppies, and they escape on a giant steel eagle which Balthazar has animated from one of the gargoyles on the Chrysler Building. Dave initially refuses to help Balthazar find the Grimhold, wanting only a normal life, but relents and agrees to help as long as, once Balthazar has the Grimhold, he leaves Dave alone. They track the Grimhold to Chinatown, where Horvath has already released the next Morganian, an evil wizard named Sun Lok. With Merlin's ring which he has held onto for the past decade, Dave manages to defeat Sun Lok, and Balthazar retrieves the Grimhold. After, Dave agrees to become Balthazar's apprentice and learn magical spells. Meanwhile, he becomes romantically involved with Becky against Balthazar's wishes.
Horvath enlists Drake Stone, a magician who uses his powers as an entertainer, to help him retrieve the Grimhold and defeat Balthazar and Dave, whom Horvath realizes is the Prime Merlinian. They attempt to kill Dave while he's alone, but Balthazar saves him and traps Horvath using a "Hungarian Mirror Trap". Dave demands to know the truth and Balthazar tells him everything: Morgana is the one trapped in the Grimhold, as well as Balthazar's lost love Veronica, and if Morgana escapes, she will attempt a spell known as "The Rising", which will raise evil sorcerers from the dead, and use them to destroy the world. Dave, as the Prime Merlinian, a descendant of Merlin and inheritor to all of his powers, is the only one who can defeat Morgana.
Horvath and Drake steal back the Grimhold and once they have it, Horvath uses a spell to steal all of Drake's energy, killing him, and takes his ring. He releases the witch, Abigail Williams in the last layer around the Grimhold and uses her to kidnap Becky. Once Abigail completes that, Horvath uses the same spell on her and steals all of her energy, as well as her magic pendant. Balthazar and Dave go to retrieve the Grimhold. Horvath threatens to kill Becky, forcing Dave to give up both the Grimhold and his ring. Balthazar goes on his own to defeat Horvath and Morgana, knowing that without the ring, Dave will be killed.
Horvath uses the added rings and energy to release Morgana, who still possesses Veronica's body, from the Grimhold. With all of their preparations in place, Morgana begins the spell. Horvath animates the Charging Bull sculpture at the north end of Bowling Green park, which then attacks Balthazar.
But Dave, with Becky's help and using his skills with plasma physics, reaches them in time to defeat Horvath and stop Morgana from completing the Rising. Balthazar then uses the same spell Veronica used before to absorb Morgana's soul from her body and into his. But Morgana escapes from Balthazar's body, killing him. She is about to incinerate them all until Dave stops her, using magic without the ring, proving that he is the Prime Merlinian. Using the same experiment he showed to Becky earlier, he discharges Morgana and destroys her using multiple plasma bolts; he then saves Balthazar by jump-starting his heart. Balthazar reunites with Veronica, giving her the necklace he wanted to give her before. Dave and Becky kiss and fly to France for breakfast on Balthazar's eagle.
After the end credits, a surprise ending is shown. Mickey Mouse's Fantasia wizard hat is seen sealed in a giant glass jar in a workshop. The camera pans over to reveal Horvath's hat on a nearby table. A hand then reaches out and takes it.

Home Alone (1990)

The extended lace curtain Irish-American McCallister family prepares to spend Christmas with Peter and Frank's brother in Paris, France, gathering at Peter and Kate's home in Chicago the night before their flight. Eight year old Kevin, Peter and Kate's youngest son and the protagonist of the film, finds himself the subject of ridicule from the other children. After getting into an argument with his older brother Buzz because he ate Kevin's cheese pizza on purpose, he is sent to the third floor of the house, wishing his family would disappear. The family accidentally leaves Kevin asleep in bed, as a power outage resets the time and causes them to wake up four hours late and a neighbor boy named Mitch Murphy who also leaves for vacation to Missouri is mistaken for Kevin in a headcount, and they hastily depart to the Chicago O'Hare International Airport, for a flight to Paris-Orly Airport onboard a McDonnel Douglas DC-10. During the flight, Kate realizes that they have left Kevin behind, and once everyone is in Paris, she immediately tries to book a return flight back to Chicago. Kate manages to fly into Dallas and Scranton, Pennsylvania, but the flight to Chicago was out of order. However, she does manage to hitch a ride with a man named Gus Polinski and his polka band, the Kenosha Kickers, who are driving to Milwaukee after their flight was canceled in a blizzard.
Meanwhile, Kevin wakes up to find the house empty and is overjoyed to find that his wish came true. He gets away with taking Buzz's life savings, shooting Buzz's gun, jumping on the bed, watching a gangster film, and eating a large amount of junk food. However, Kevin finds himself scared by the appearance of the Chicago Police Department (called by his parents to check on Kevin via payphone from Paris-Orly), his next door neighbor "Old Man" Marley, who was rumored to have murdered his family many years earlier, and the appearance of The Wet Bandits, Harry Lyme and Marv Merchants, who are breaking into other vacant houses along the block. The Wet Bandits are aware of which houses are vacant, as Harry impersonated a police officer doing wellness checks on families before the holidays. On Christmas Eve, Kevin manages to overhear Harry and Marv discuss plans for breaking into his house that night. After conversing with a Santa Claus impersonator and watching a local choir perform in a church in hopes to have his family return, Kevin runs into Marley and comes to realize that he is a nice man and that none of the rumors about him are true. Kevin finds out that Marley is estranged from his son and suggests that he reunite with him for Christmas.
His own spirits lifted by encouraging Marley, Kevin returns home to prepare a series of booby traps about the house. Harry and Marv, who were initially fooled by Kevin's illusions that the house is occupied but now realize that he is home alone and attempt to break in, running into the various traps. After the two spring almost every trap in the house, Kevin flees to the third floor of the house, and dials 9-1-1 from a landline. Harry and Marv manage to chase Kevin out of the house; he then flees to the vacant neighboring home, which was unlocked and unoccupied. The Wet Bandits trap Kevin when he runs to the top of the stairs connecting the basement and the first floor. They decide to do the same things that Kevin did to them and Harry decides to bite Kevin's fingers one at a time first, but Marley knocks them out with his snow shovel and takes Kevin home. Shortly after Kevin is safely returned home, Harry and Marv are arrested. Additionally, the police were aware of every house The Wet Bandits have hit due to their habits of leaving the household's water running to leave their mark.
Kevin wakes up the next morning to find that his mother has returned. Shortly afterward, the rest of the McCallisters, having traveled directly to Chicago from Paris, arrive. Kevin keeps silent about his encounter with Harry and Marv, but Peter finds Harry's missing gold tooth and wonders what it is. Kevin and Buzz have a moment and it looks like they will finally start to get along. Kevin discovers that Marley took his advice and watches from the window as he and his son reunite, smiling. However, Buzz interrupts Kevin's musings by yelling the line, "Kevin! What did you do to my room?!". Immediately following it, the film ends.

Air Force ONE [1997] - HD

With cooperation of American forces through the United States President James Marshall, American special forces are able to capture the tyrannical leader of Kazakhstan, General Alexander Radek. Before returning to the United States on Air Force One, Marshall makes a speech in Moscow and deems this a new offensive against terrorism. Having visited the Red Cross camps and seen the brutality and atrocity committed under Radek's regime, Marshall vows to continue the offensive against the terrorists, stating that the U.S will never negotiate with terrorists and boldly declares "your day is over."
The flight back to Washington starts off smoothly, but soon Neo-Nationalist terrorists who are supportive towards Radek, led by Ivan Korshunov and posing as a Russian news crew, take control of the plane with help from a mole in the Secret Service, Agent Gibbs. Marshall is rushed to an escape pod in the plane's cargo hold, but he refuses to leave, hiding behind the machinery when the pod is launched, luring Korshunov to believe that the President is no longer aboard.
After shooting the pilots during an emergency landing at Ramstein Air Base, Korshunov flies the plane away from Ramstein and calls Vice President Kathryn Bennett (Glenn Close), demanding the release of Radek in exchange of the rest of passengers on board Air Force One including the wife and daughter of the President. Bennett refuses to cooperate, and soon discovers that Marshall never entered the escape pod and is still aboard the plane.
President Marshall is a former US Air Force officer and now intends to use the combat skills he learned during his military service to fight the terrorists and rescue everyone still on the plane. He kills one terrorist and hides in the cargo section; Korshunov thinks that one of the Secret Service agents is still free and tells his men to find and kill him. Marshall then kills one more terrorist who came down to the cargo cabin to look for him, this makes Korshunov angry and he kills one of the hostages and threatens to kill more if he does not give himself up. Marshall contacts the White House and with the help of Air Force general he initiates a fuel dump assuming that it would force the terrorists to land the plane. However, Korshunov forces Bennett to agree to a mid-air fueling. Marshall, who has managed to sneak into the room where the hostages have been held after subduing another terrorist, is told by his military advisers that they can parachute all the hostages off the plane if they can get the aircraft low enough. Marshall relays this to Bennett, and the refueling KC-10 tanker instructs Korshunov to drop to the required altitude.
As the plane is refueling, Marshall sneaks the hostages to the cargo hold with parachutes and out of the back of the plane. Korshunov discovers the deception, forcing Air Force One away from the refueling tanker, causing its fuel line to spark and detonate the fueling plane. One of the terrorists arrive in the cargo hold in time to prevent Marshall and his closest advisers from jumping; they are taken to the plane's communication room and tied down. Korshunov reveals to Bennett he now has the President, and demands Radek's release, forcing Marshall to make the request to the Russian President to do so. Bennett's advisers tell her that under the 25th Amendment, she could declare the President to be incapacitated, thus allowing her to override Marshall's command, but she refuses to, believing Marshall to still be in control.
Korshunov quickly reneges on his promise to free the hostages once Radek is released, leaving Marshall with nothing to lose. As Korshunov hears the ceremony of Radek's release, Marshall is able to free himself, and with his allies, are able to kill Korshunov and the remaining terrorists. Marshall manages to call Petrov to announce that the terrorists have been killed in time to stop Radek from leaving the prison facility; Radek and his men are gunned down as they try to make their escape when word reaches the prison.
As Marshall takes over piloting of the plane, the US Central Command informs him through Marshall at least six Kazakh MiG-29s piloted by militants loyal to Radek have taken off to avenge their leaders' death. A squadron of US Air force F-15's has already taken off to keep the President under guard. Shortley afterwards the MiGs approach their target and attempt to fire upon Air Force One. While one of the escorting F-15 pilots sacrifices himself to block a missile, 3 MiGs are destroyed and the remaining 3 MiGs decide to flee. The damage from the explosion takes out a large part of the plane's controls, making it impossible for Air Force One to land properly and the damage also caused the fuel leakage with resulted in only 40-45 mins flight time left. An Air Force Pararescue C-130 Hercules plane is arranged to help zip-line the remaining passengers from the plane. Marshall insists on going last, making sure his family and advisers are safe. However, Agent Gibbs, still aboard the plane, reveals his true allegiance and attempts to kill Marshall, killing Caldwell (William H. Macy) first when he realizes it. Marshall fights off Gibbs and manages to make it onto the zip line moments before Air Force One plummets into the Caspian Sea, killing Gibbs. The Pararescue plane reels in Marshall, and announce their success as they change their call sign to "Air Force One".

Stay Hungry (1976) - AVI Format


Craig Blake is a young Southern man born of a wealthy family, but left lonely and idle after his parents died in a plane crash. He is content to spend his time fishing, hunting and puttering around his large family mansion, inhabited only by himself and a butler. Blake's "job" is a sinecure working at a shady investment firm run by a slick con artist named Jabo and he does very little actual work. But since he has to have his name "on paper" somehow as an employee, he is asked to personally transact the purchasing of a small gym that the real estate firm is buying in order to clear space for an office high-rise.
He initially approaches the gym representing himself as a businessman looking to buy it, and acts relatively impersonal with its staff, although he is strangely fascinated with the world he discovers there. But Blake's primary social life is centered around the upscale country club he attends. The audience is introduced to the ritzy country-club crowd, including the WASP-y Lester and the roguish rake Halsey. Blake spends his time at this club with his friends playing tennis and shooting poker dice, and flirting with the upper-class women of all ages - one of whom asks Blake to find an "authentic" musical guest for an upcoming party at the club.
As Blake moves forward with his business deal, he falls in love with the gym after visiting it several times - he is immediately taken by the pretty receptionist Mary Tate Farnsworth and the free-spirited, friendly bodybuilder Joe Santo , who aspires to win the Mr. Universe title. He cannot bring himself to sell out his newfound friends at the gym for the sake of his job, and so he evades the inquiries of his friend and coworker Hal Foss as to his progress in the purchasing deal. All the while, he grows closer to Mary Tate and Joe Santo - who initially appear to be a couple. However, Mary Tate latches onto Craig romantically - and Santo gives Craig his blessing for this unorthodox relationship, claiming that he needs to keep himself challenged both in the gym and in his romantic life in order to succeed.
Mary Tate and Craig begin a passionate and exciting relationship. But trouble erupts when he tries to integrate Mary Tate into his country-club scene. This tension comes to a head at a party at the country-club, which features Joe Santo as a musical guest, performing bluegrass songs on the violin with a small country group. Craig, with Mary Tate as his guest , is enthusiastic about Joe Santo's upcoming musical performance for the night. But Craig's friends, particularly Halsey, mock Santo as a "freak" and an outcast. When Halsey suggest that Santo disrobe and show the crowd his "tits," Craig throws a glass of Scotch in his face and tells Halsey that Santo could "crush him like an eggshell." A fight nearly breaks out between the two, but is broken up. Meanwhile a bitter Halsey and his friend Packman formulate a plan to embarrass Santo.
When Santo's musical act is finally put on stage, the crowd seems enthusiastic about the music, though the hostess of the party dismisses it as a "racket." However, Halsey and Packman drunkenly bellow at Santo and heckle the band. Santo notices it, but stoically continues playing. However, when Halsey screams "let's hear it for Muscle Beach symphony orchestra!" Santo is unable to continue playing, puts down his violin and leaves the party. Meanwhile a frustrated Craig tries to convince Mary Tate to see him for who he really is, and not for his snobbish friends and ritzy surroundings.
Meanwhile Blake visits at the gym and engages in an intense physical fight, dodging weights and gym equipment thrown by the drunken and drug-crazed Eriksen. He finds Mary Tate at the gym, who had just moments earlier been assaulted by Eriksen in an amyl nitrate fueled rage.
When the contestants at the Mr. Universe show discover that the prize money has been stolen, they run after Joe Santo, who himself is actually running to try to meet Mary Tate. The chase results in the wave of bodybuilders pouring out into the streets of Birmingham, to the amazed crowd of onlookers which sees them. The bodybuilders take advantage of this unexpected attention to put on an impromptu posing routine for the crowd, and the members of the crowd join in, imitating the athletes' poses and enjoying themselves - an embracing of the bodybuilding lifestyle by 'normal' people which arguably represents the real-life 1970s boom of personal fitness.

Hercules in New-York (1970) - AVI Format

The film begins with Hercules at Olympus, berating his father Zeus for not allowing him to leave the Gods' abode to adventure on earth. Eventually Zeus tires of Hercules and blasts him with a lightning bolt, casting him out of Olympus - giving Hercules what he wanted. After some strange encounters in the air and at sea, Hercules arrives in New York City, where hilarity ensues in the form of interactions with various New Yorkers, who regard him as physically superior but socially awkward. He meets a skinny little guy called Pretzie (Arnold Stang).
Hercules becomes a successful professional wrestler. Zeus, watching Hercules from the heights, becomes irritated with Hercules' antics, which he feels are making a mockery of the Gods, and calls on Mercury to stop Hercules.
After Mercury makes an unsuccessful attempt to bring Hercules home, Zeus orders Nemesis to see to it that Hercules is consigned to the infernal regions ruled over by Pluto. However, Juno instead convinces Nemesis to poison Hercules with a poison that would strip him of his divinity and then talk to Pluto. Nemesis informs Pluto of what is happening and he bets a large sum of money against Hercules in an upcoming strongman competition with Hercules's gangster manager. When Hercules loses the strongman competition his friends try to lead off Hercules's angry manager's henchmen, but Hercules follows them to try and save them.
Meanwhile, Zeus uncovers the truth from Nemesis as to what is happening but only intervenes at the last minute to restore Hercules divinity not wanting any son of his to die at the hands of a mortal.
Hercules defeats the gangsters and realizes that he has been disobedientand returns to the heavens shortly after, only saying good-bye to Pretzie over a radio after he left.
In the heavens, Zeus tells Juno and Hercules that he is not going to decide what to do about what happened as they ask him about it and asks to be left alone. They leave him alone, and upon their departure, Zeus sneaks out of the heavens and descends to earth, scaring a passenger jet on his way down.

Pumping Iron (1976) - AVI Format

The first part of the documentary features the Mr. Universe contenders and begins with a profile of Mike Katz who is intending to win the Mr. Universe. Competing against Katz is Ken Waller. The two are polar opposites: where Katz is humble and unassuming, Waller is arrogant and dirty (he deliberately hides Katz's belongings at the Mr. Universe to break his focus before going on stage). After a pose-down, Waller, due to his superior definition and proportions, eventually wins the Mr. Universe with Katz coming a distant 4th place. It should be noted that Katz is considered by some to have the greatest chest of all time, measuring at one point a huge 60 inches (152 cm), a feat only equaled by Lou Ferrigno. Nevertheless, big as Katz was, the most humanizing moment occurred when after finding out he did not make it to the posedown (the final round in determining the winner), is seen quietly fighting off tears backstage. We, the audience, are to learn that he still had not won Mr Universe after too many tries.
The second part of the film follows the Olympia contenders, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno and Franco Columbu. Lou Ferrigno, a steel worker, is trained by his father in a small downtown gym. Ferrigno is humble and trains hard, whereas Schwarzenegger trains in the luxurious Gold's Gym, flanked by women as he performs his calf raises. Franco and Schwarzenegger both train together at the outdoor gym, Muscle Beach, where spectators are able to watch, contrasting the conditions Ferrigno is training under. It was, in fact, Ed Corney who was Schwarzenegger's training partner for the preparation for the 1975 Olympia. The explanation is not mysterious. Columbu was often busy with his chiropractic education and his training schedule was difficult to coordinate with Schwarzenegger's. The film makers shot as much "coverage" footage of Corney as they did of Columbu, based on their belief that there was a good possibility of Corney taking the under 200 pound title in South Africa. However, when Corney took second place in Pretoria, the film was necessarily edited to put more dramatic focus on Columbu. Franco Columbu is also documented in a memorable scene when he blows air into a hot water bottle until it explodes.
Prior to the Olympia competition the documentary also reveals Schwarzenegger's lesser-known deceptive behavior and practices when it comes to his fellow competitors. Schwarzenegger comments that if his competitors are indeed better than him that he will get a room with them the night prior to the competition and simply talk them into losing. The documentary then takes off to Pretoria, South Africa, to the build-up to the competition. The competitors all take part in the Pre-Judging rounds. The under 200 pounds (91 kg) class is judged first, and Franco Columbu is declared the winner. The next to be judged are the three finalists from the over 200 pounds (91 kg) class, Lou Ferrigno, Schwarzenegger, and Serge Nubret. Schwarzenegger is declared the winner and must go for a pose-down with Franco Columbu for the overall Olympia title. Schwarzenegger for the 6th time is crowned Mr. Olympia; after his win he announces his retirement from competition. He is shown celebrating his victory by smoking a Marijuana cigarette, eating fried chicken and birthday cake; potentially the most taboo combination in bodybuilding. The documentary ends with all who took part leaving for the airport on a bus.
