I have waited too long for Burnt to be released after I've got noticed of it. Bradley Cooper, a rising star mostly because he's considered "hot", continues to be a disappointment for the second time in a row (first time was Aloha), after his Oscar nomination for American Sniper - 2014, which comes after another two, one for Best Actor (Silver Linings Playbook - 2012), and one for best supporting actor (American Hustle - 2013).

I haven't seen Argo, yet, but I'll review it separately, if it will be that astonishing. Anyway, it seems that the cast of Argo was awarded. The critics say it's a strong sign for Oscars, which might be true for some of the awards, precisely four, The Best Actors and The Best Supporting Actors, both genders, since they are voting again, plus "actress" Beyonce, the Presidential … [Read more...]
