2019's Oscar Nominations Announcement took place on Tuesday, January 22, 2019. The 91st Oscars will air live on ABC on Sunday, February 24, 2019. GLAAD president Sarah Kate Ellis noted that more than half of the best picture nominees — including A Star Is Born, Bohemian Rhapsody, Green Book, The Favourite and Vice — involve LGBTQ themes and narratives.

Byzantium Vampires Are Different, Sun Is Friendly and They Have Sex
I usually don't appreciate a vampire movie with the undead walking freely during the daytime. Byzantium vampires are that different from the classic ones; they don't sleep in coffins, they don't need soil from their birthplaces, and they are not affected by sunlight. They also are capable of making sex. Alas, they differ from the Twilight vampires as well. Their creation has some logic, even if it is not guided by the classic law. They have in common the bloodsucking. The reason you may enjoy it … [Read more...]
Golden Globes 2019 – Nominees and Winners’ List
The Golden Globes 2019 Awards' ceremony was this year at its 76th edition. Here are the nominees and winners, a simple list without comments. Unfortunately I couldn't watch all the movies in time to have an accurate opinion and I may be a little bit subjective. There were at least two movies I had the opportunity to watch and I choose not to, at least for the moment. I'll see about them with the time coming. Two years ago, I was on the verge to erase this subcategory (Awards) from my website. … [Read more...]
The Story of Papillon 2018, Another Thwarted Movie
Before watching the 2018 version of Papillon, where a Scorpio is played yet by another Aries, I was very excited. I imagined a modern vision of this rich and adventurous book, with an advanced filming technique. I thought it will be something memorable, especially since Charlie Hunnam and the acclaimed Freddie Mercury's recently impersonator, Rami Malek, have both a lot of entertaining potentials. Unfortunately, my disappointment was directly measured upon my expectations. I have been … [Read more...]
In Jack Reacher Never Go Back, Tom Cruise Is at His Best
After watching both cinematic sequels to Jack Reacher, I felt compelled to finally start reading the originals. Unfortunately, the first novel in the series was also too sick to make me continue immediately with the rest. Now I'm reading Jack Reacher 18 (Jack Reacher Never Go Back), the one this movie is based on. It is much better even if it seems to be something else than the movie. [source for all pics: imdb.com] Plot Jack Reacher Never Go Back starts perhaps with something which … [Read more...]
The Deep Web Documentary Is Not About the Wormhole of the Internet
The Deep Web documentary has the following subtitle: The Untold Story of Bitcoin and the Silk Road. It deals about the Silk Road website and the illegal arrest of his alleged owner. What is largely referred to as "the deep web" is not the dark hole of the internet, it's only that part not indexed by privacy-invading tools like Google or Bing. The documentary has been written and directed by Alex Winter. [source: unless stated, all pics are from The Collider website] Silk Road The "Silk … [Read more...]
