I´m not sure what to think of the idea of Shane Black as a consultant, and not as writer and director. On the one hand, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which he wrote alone and directed, is one of the funniest films ever made. On the other hand, I think that B…

Live interview with Chris Pratt, James Gunn and Kevin Feige. Very entertaining.

Perhaps not once a year, but I surely will re-read them again. I had some wonderful experiences reading most of them in my teens, and then some 15 years later re-reading them and discovering them all anew, since I didn´t get many things when I wa…

Jack Ryan - Shadow Recruit Doesn´t re-invent the wheel, but is a rock-solid espionage-thriller with excellent construction. I´d say the most credit goes to director Branagh, who built the whole thing up expertly, and he knows how to portrait himsel…
