Out of all the reoccurring themes during Thursday Movie Picks, I think Seven Deadly Sins is my favourite. I just love how specific it is and yet it gives so much room for interpretation. This week we are looking at gluttony – the need to have more than necessary. It is very similar to greed […]
An Essay: Year 2016 Told Through Movies
We start off the year with an Oscar race that has our hearts beating erratically because this might be Leonardo DiCaprio’s year, and it was. He won, he got that Oscar, he held that Oscar, he took that Oscar with him to show off to his supermodels and polish on his yacht while the sun […]
Commercial Break #36 : Oscar Edition
Every year I try to stay away from the madness of award season and every year I’m sucked into it like a moth to a flame. This year was no different. After a special year in film, after Mad Max won everybody’s heart, after Tom Hardy gave only amazing performances, after Leo wished, prayed and […]
MR. Awards ’14
With all the Oscar predictions appearing in movie blogs, me not being very skilled at predicting things, and the Oscars being right around the corner, I decided to create my own awards! The bottom line is that I’ll hand out my choices for BESTs of last year’s movies and performances, and though my choices are […]
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Everybody was raving as hard as Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) on drugs about The Wolf of Wall Street for months before I even got the chance to see it and you can just imagine how bumped up I was prior to the opening monologue.

Django Unchained (2012)
As much as I would want to, I can’t recall the first time I ever saw Pulp Fiction but I’m pretty sure I had no idea what it was about anyway. I was quite young, that I’m sure of, and while the first experience surpassed me with all its nuances, the following experiences with Tarantino’s […]
# 222 – Margin Call and J. Edgar (Trailer special)
Not to over crowd the blog with trailer posts I’m gonna put two very serious and great movies into one. Starting with a Hollywood A-list packed movie Margin Call and finishing with yet another Clint Eastwood movie which stars the great leading man Leonardo DiCaprio. • Margin Call: This is another Wall Street movie that […]
# 198 – Leonardo DiCaprio (actor special)
I have now decided to pay much more time on categories that are rather lonely and since Actor/Actress category should be (by now) among the biggest categories in my blog I’m taking it very seriously from now on. The first actor special post was dedicated to Heath Ledger because he is and always will be […]
# 69 – Inception
“Dreams feel real while we’re in them. It’s only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.” – Dom Cobb After watching Nolan’s newest master-piece I looked up some of the reviews just to get an idea how to build up my review about it. I didn’t want to praise like any […]
