Now, on the basis of being in love with Johnny Depp and everything he does, I’m already biased towards Black Mass. Johnny Depp plays a Bostonian mobster with a convincing accent who goes really rapidly from a small time racketeer to a big violent boss. Based on a true story, it tracks exactly how he […]
Spectre wasn’t Skyfall, but it wasn’t awful. #24 in the franchise is about Bond’s past comes back to haunt him and he goes on a journey to track down a ghost.

However, unlike Witherspoon, Vergara can still make a […]
For me, Blake Lively is the Keira Knightley of our generation. Not particularly gifted acting until older age comes upon her, but at least a pretty face. Sound harsh? Maybe. I never paid attention to Miss Knightley in Pirates of the Caribbean. Everyone – including the barely talented Orlando Bloom (nonetheless, I love him as […]
