Miss Sloane is probably the best movie produced in 2016 that I have had the pleasure to watch. Excepting a nudge for Jessica Chastain at the Golden Globes 2017, for Best Female in a Drama, this exceptional political thriller went almost unnoticed by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). A real pity, because as much as I like Emma Stone in almost all the movies she plays, she didn't deserve the recent Oscar she got. Something went fishy this year at the Oscars, reason that … [Read more...]

Jason Bourne 2016 – Answers Are Simple
Jason Bourne 2016 came as an interesting revelation after the previous movies in the franchise. It is better welded in structure with a much simpler plot than any of Robert Ludlum's novels. As I remember, I don't recall Ludlum's plots in the previous releases. They were an amalgam of 100% action and violence without an explanatory motivation. Now, with this one here, you don't need explanations. The characters are new, and the plot is simple. More than that, it is acted with no holes, and no … [Read more...]
La La Land – A Modern Musical
La La Land is... wow! Such an incredible soap, a soap balloon, a delusion. There must be something wrong with me, or it is that Damien Chazelle has made a pact with the devil, like that guy in Shortcut to Happiness, "Jabez Stone" (played by Alec Baldwin). Boys and girls, I don't get it, how it received so many Golden Globes, why is all the fuss, and why such a huge imdb rate (8.8 at the time I write this review)? I think I'm missing something.

Top 100 IMDB 2016 – Most Popular Actors in 2016
Top 100 imdb is something I really try every year to publish here, on Rodolfo Grimaldi Blog, and I'm very happy when that's possible.

Actually, this post is more of a list with my own comments. I assure you it's not the easiest kind of article to do. Top 100 imdb 2016 1. Margot Robbie [source of all pictures: … [Read more...]
The Accountant – Ben Affleck Recovering from Batman
Prologue The Accountant is a thriller directed by Gavin O'Connor, which premiered in October 2016, being worldwide released the same month. It was written by Bill Dubuque. O'Connor is the director of Warrior, a movie of whom people still discuss right now. Ben Affleck is again at his highest, like he was in the Oscar winner Argo, which he also directed and produced. I really liked the movie, even if they say it wasn't accurate, and added this or that regarding the Canadians' … [Read more...]
