Thank you and now, I shall present the Hemsworth effect for your appreciation which can also be called the Hemsworth trifecta or the Hemsworth trilogy. I’m still working on the name for this but there is a new phenomenon in action cinema where we not just have one Hemsworth delivering hard hitting action but we […]
There’s a hot new action star and her name is nothing but June Squibb. Squibb, a seasoned yet fiesty 94-year- old actress who received an Oscar nomination for Nebraska and is fully engaged in writer (…) director Josh Margolin’s action comedy Thelma – to say the least – proves that age doesn’t hinder one’s dreams
Are you a seeing double? Well, someone in Oddity, as in literally, is unable to see at all, but that wouldn’t star her from going about grabbing people’s names, seeking the truth, and a lot more. It is a crazy story that brings forth the enormous capabilities of an Irish actress Carolyn Bracken best known
Anyone who has listened to the popular film podcast Blank Check with Griffin and David hosted by actor Griffin Newman and The Atlantic critic David simms will recognize those words that open every episode. As there is an increasing amount of IP-based and studio-oriented films, it has been, even more, difficult to get those projects

Redemption and the world of athletics. Or rather redemption in the world of sports. Many such heart-warming under-dog stories are related to sports, even extreme sports. To the general audience of motion pictures, there is the vague overused intrigue of an underdog story — a poor but richly talented young sportsman who has but one
It was also a less appreciated, nevertheless remarkable, section of the film when one saw Alec Baldwin, who was nominated for an Academy Award, portray the role of an en enraged Boston policeman in The Departed. Almost 20 years later, of course, Baldwin does come back to the agency’s desk, with nearly the same appeal
Thank you the Lord this age of the COVID viruses is over and people are going back to head out to the theatres instead of being glued on their cell phones or iPad watching movies on the move. Made by the same director who has delayed several films for years long, MaXXXine has a ripping
This is a predictable thriller where CGI sharks tear old college buddies apart in the last film of revered actor Julian Sands. The Last Breath is deliberately a low-budget indie film with typical underdeveloped and one-dimensional characters. Nevertheless, Swedish director Joachim Hedén’s deep knowledge of underwater genre makes it more than mere surface-oriented cinema for
