Quentin Tarantino's Hateful Five was a pretty gruesome movie. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is far from that. Not only it displays some of the hottest stars in Hollywood right now, but it is assorted with a few of Tarantino's former stars cameos, the oldest of all being Michael Madsen. I read at least one bad review about it, and I have to disagree. I don't say this is the best Tarantino to date, because I don't particularly like his style, but here he wasn't just as tiring.

Oscars 2016 Winners – Just the List and Some Comments
This post about Oscars 2016 Winners is more about the comments than the list itself, but it's all right for the records, my records as it goes... It's not news anymore, so please don't consider them as such. I have been impressed by some statistics I've read before the ceremony, and according to them, this year's Best Picture winner wasn't quite a surprise. The only weird thing was that it won only one more statuette, but it was well deserved since it was for original screenplay. What you … [Read more...]
BAFTA Awards 2016 – A List of Nominees and Winners
BAFTA Awards ceremony at the 69th edition this year (2016), was hosted by Stephen Fry on February 4th at the Royal Opera House in London. One of his comments stirred again the new trend of Politically Correctness around, and after he angrily replied on Twitter, he deleted his account. As a result, you won't be re-directed to that anymore, because the meta disappeared from his name: Had amazing time @ BAFTA's tonight x props to @stephenfry for hosting brilliantly & to all those diverse … [Read more...]
The Revenant, My Favorite Best Picture in 2016
The Revenant is a 2015 superb adventure drama directed by previous year's Best Director, Alejandro González Iñárritu. It is by far the most artistically beautiful movie in all the eight Oscar 2016 nominees. I regret now that I haven't begun the Oscars reviews marathon with this one, because it revealed itself to be my favorite in all eight. This is partially based on the novel with the same name written by Michael Punke in 2002. [source] The Revenant's History It is funny that in … [Read more...]
Some Thoughts on the 2016 Oscars Nominees
I should put this post in "Movies" category, but it's just a short essay about what I have in mind regarding to this year's 2016 Oscars nominees. I haven't watched all the movies, there are 27 all in all, considering even a less important award for the viewers (like Best Music - Original Song, where Fifty Shades of Grey is nominated for example), and there is a great possibility to not be able to, or in some cases (like two years ago, with Twelve Years a Slave), to not want to. I have finally … [Read more...]
Winners of the Golden Globes 2016 – The List
Finally, the (73rd) Golden Globe 2016 Awards, Winners List. Only the winners are here. Because the Golden Globes are produced by Dick Clark Productions in association with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, there must be a little bit more objectivity in how the awards are being distributed. You have the nominees list here, so I'm not going to fill the spaces again, with everybody. I like it a lot that one of the most brilliant comedians in Great Britain was chosen yet again to host the … [Read more...]
