The promotion of new movies has become very predictable. Months in advance you can see the first set photos, followed by teasers, different trailer versions and the stars appearing in talk shows near the release. I basically ignore all of it and find it an extremely tiring way to promote a product and create hype. […]
There are lines which you hear too much in movies. In part 1 I already focussed on some. Time for part 2!
Jessica Chastain was born on March 24, 1977 and raised in Northern California. At the age of nine she became interested in dancing and by the age of thirteen she was in a dance troupe. She played Juliet in the stage play of Romeo and Juliet, which was staged by a professional theater company which […]

This film, directed by Darren Aronofsky, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem, caused quite a stir. CinemaScore, a company that measures what a moviegoing audience thinks of a film, scored an F, the lowest possible score. During the […]
Strange, unpredictable and bizarre. Just a few random words that come to mind when I hear the name of director Yorgos Lanthimos.
