The Many Faces of… Anne Hathaway

With everyone looking forward to The Dark Knight Rises I thought it would be a good idea to look at the movies catwoman Anne Hathaway has been in. You can already look at the ones Christian Bale and Tom Hardy did.
Anne Hathaway was born in 1982 in New York. In school she played in several plays and she finally was admitted in The Barrow Group Theater Company’s acting program as the first teenager to do so. She started out in Disney movies and earned an Oscar nomination for her role in Rachel Getting Married. She currently has 27 movie and TV credits to her name. Read more…
Last Train Home (2009)

Just imagine 130 million people having to move from one place to another. In only a couple of weeks. That’s the entire population of France and Great Britain having to move somewhere. It seems that it would be something that is impossible, but it’s something that happens every year in China.

Les Diaboliques (1955)

I’m sometimes surprised that I’m able to watch movies that’s are more than 50 years old without knowing anything about it. Of course I try to do this as well with newer films, but that’s a lot more difficult. Les Diaboliques is a movie that I hadn’t heard of before and wanted to watch since it appears in the IMDB top 250. So going into this blind, does it earn its place in the list? Read more…
The Monday Question: Cinema charm!

Last week I went to one of my favorite cinemas in Rotterdam, Cinerama, to see Martha Marcy May Marlene (great movie btw). It’s the only “older” cinema in town as all the other ones have closed down (which of course you can read more about in my weekly “The Lost Cinemas of Rotterdam” series. Which got me thinking why I like this cinema so much and thought it was a good Monday question:
What’s your favorite cinema in your town and why do you love it so much? Read more…
