Directed by James Wan Written for the Screen by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrich and Will Beall from the story penned by James Wan, Will Beall and Geoff based on the characters created by Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger JASON MOMOA has a certain charm, so even if he's not my kind of handsome, he's funny, more than well-built, witty, and he acts well too. Honestly, I never pictured him as Aquaman, but he grows on you, and thankfully not like a sore thumb, so I was pretty psyched when this was announced.  When I learned that NICOLE KIDMAN was going to play his Queen Mother, I couldn't imagine it, but when I learned that TEMUERA MORRISON was going to be his dad, then I said, alright, that explains it.   AMBER HEARD, as Mera, is so beautiful.  I still have a hard time believing what happened between her and Johnny Depp, but let's not go there.  Why in the world did I have to mention it?  Well...  Anyways, back to her portrayal of Mera, she was pret...

How Faithful Is  Murder on the Orient Express  to Agatha Christie’s Classic Detective Novel? A Breakdown (warning, the link has spoilers). A lavish trip through Europe quickly unfolds into a race against time to solve a murder aboard a train. When an avalanche stops the Orient Express dead in its tracks, the world's greatest detective -- Hercule Poirot -- arrives to interrogate all passengers and search for clues before the killer can  strike again. -WWW Directed by: Kenneth Branagh Screenplay: Michael Green Music by: Patrick Doyle Distributed by: 20th Century Fox Agatha Christie is one of my favourite authors.  Miss Marple and Monsieur Poirot were part of my growing up years alongside the Stratemeyer Syndicate's  Carolyn Keene's NANCY DREW.  Murder on the Orient Express is one of the memorable ones, except some of the scenes of the book and the 1974 movie are quite hazy or I have mixed up the scenes already. Honestly, when I wa...

"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings."- Cassius Julius Caesar (I, ii, 140-141) -William Shakespeare John Green, a genius of an author, played with the quote above. If Cassius didn't believe that things happen for a reason , John Green surely does. The story of Hazel Grace and Augustus is beautiful.  Their infinity might be smaller than others, but their love for each other is probably wider than the ocean and deeper than sea. Shailene Woodley is a natural and I can say the same for the charming Answel Elgort.  In the DIVERGENT Trilogy, they play brother and sister, but here, they are star-crossed lovers. Both roles are very convincing.  I must say that I could give them both standing ovations. I can see and feel the chemistry between them.  I would have wished that this was a happier story, but no matter how sad this story is, Augustus fear of oblivion will never happen, unless the Seco...
