New month, new Hidden Gems challenge. This month I was looking into the career of Amy Adams. An actress that has been bringing it for years but whose filmography is not very familiar to me. Leaving out her miniseries Sharp Objects which I contemplated on watching for this at one point, I crossed off three […]
Thursday Movie Picks: Child Actors Venturing Out of Typecasting
Not going to lie, reading this typecasting theme for the first time gave me hives. It is a brilliant theme, don’t get me wrong, but it also expects some serious thinking. I had to ask Brittani for help because this typecasting thing was for some reason very difficult for me. Even now I’m not sure […]
The Beguiled (2017)
This review sort of contains spoilers. For years, I have kept a certain distance from Sofia Coppola and her movies due to them being extremely boring for my taste. They take forever to build up, they have very many empty-scenes (a term that I will explain later), and the payoff is usually unsatisfying. The reason […]
Commercial Break #45
Another Monday, another bitter sweet start to the week. Over the weekend, one of the most well known street style photographers, Bill Cunningham, past away at age 87. Such a sad loss for the creative world.
Upside Down (2012)
HUGE spoiler alert. Though I should really narrow down the list of classics I have on my list (for BOT), I can’t hold back the need to criticize Upside Down like there’s no tomorrow. Before I saw it, I thought, well, I’m sure it’ll be better than the fourth Die Hard (according to IMDb) but […]
Bachelorette (2012)
Since I was quite busy watching movies last week, I have a line-up of reviews to write and post for the entire week. Today, my fingers are itching to continue with a movie going for the Best Picture, but I decided that I’ll write it for tomorrow and therefore I can be super critical this […]
Love Me Some: Kirsten Dunst
I don’t try to be sexy, but if you are sexy it comes out. If you’re not, you’re not. Kirsten Dunst 13. April 1982 2011 Cannes Film Festival Best Actress and Golden Globe nomination
# 280 – On the Road (Trailer special)
This is a rather important piece of work, based on Jack Kerouac’s novel On the Road, which just happens to be one of the best novels from 20th century. Autobiographical story about Jack’s road trips around the America with his friends, On the Road features Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley and Kristen Stewart. Now, let’s be […]
# 224 – Melancholia
Not a very joyful way to start off the morning but I felt like it was the right time to talk about Lars von Trier’s Melancholia which is said to be inspired by his own depression. So you might already know what you are into when you are going to see this movie, the title […]
