A trio of casting/directing news I’m excited about

A trio of casting/directing news piqued my interest this past few days that I thought I'd blog about it. I'm supposed to be doing this casting news roundup every month but obviously I've dropped the ball a few times 😛 Rebecca Ferguson joins Emily Blunt for THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN adaptation YES!

My entry to the Against the Crowd Blogathon: A battle of two Sword-and-Sandals Movies

Wendell over at Dell on Movies is reprising his blogathon from a year ago. Since I didn't participate at the time, I knew I had to do it this time around. Dell's idea is that this is our chance to tell the world about our love for a movie everyone else hates and the other way around. 1. Pick one …

FlixChatter Review: The Man from U.N.C.L.E (2015)

I saw this at a very early press screening three weeks ago but there was an embargo to even tweet about it. By now I could barely remember much about Guy Ritchie's movie, but if I were to describe it in one word, it'd be frothy. Just like Mission Impossible, this movie is based on a 1960s TV …

FlixChatter [Guest] Review: Dark Places (2015)

After a tragedy occurs, what happens next? When a child loses their whole family to darkness and death, where do they go from there? When a teenager is accused of an atrocity they didn’t commit and is sentenced to life in a prison cell, what kind of person will they become? When a stranger knocks …

Happy Midweek everyone! Two more days until Friday 😀 How's your week so far?
