Trailer: Joker



Some days ago, the trailer of the highly anticipated Joker was released on the Internet. And everybody immediately started talking about one thing: the performance by Joaquin Phoenix who plays the title role.



In the meantime, the film has had its first screening at the Festival of Venice, one of the festivals that dictates which movies will perform well in the Oscar race. Anyway, after the screening, Joker received a standing ovation of 8 minutes. The first reviews have come in and all the critics agree on one thing: Joaquin Phoenix is a contender for the Oscar of Best Actor. Some of them even claim that his performance surpasses that of the late Heath Ledger. Anyway, if he does receive a nomination, it would be his fourth. Will Phoenix take the Oscar home or will he be like Amy Adams, always a nominee, never a winner?

In case you missed the buzz, Joker tells the story of how a failed standup comedian turns into a criminal and Batman's nemesis. Todd Phillips directed and co-wrote the movie, which will be released in America at the beginning of Octobre.

2 Headed Shark Attack (2012)/3 Headed Shark Attack (2015)

About 2 weeks ago, I had never heard about these 2 movies. But when I did research about Shark Night , one of the movies that Google recommended was 3 Headed Shark Attack. Since I had never heard about this movie, I did some research. According to Wikipedia, this is the sequel - as you might have guessed - of 2 Headed Shar Attack. And there are by the way more movies in this series: 5 Headed Shark Attack and 6 Headed Shark Attack. In case you wonder what happened to the one with 4 heads, there is already a movie called Four - Headed Shark - apparently, this one doesn't attack! Anyway, probably to avoid confusion, there is no movie called 4 Headed Shark Attack... The production company behind all these movies is called The Asylum. Maybe the name rings a bell, especially if you are into B - movies or have spent some time on Netflix lately. They are actually the ones responsible for the Sharknado movies, which by now have reached cult status amongst horror fans. The Asylum produ...

Fun Stuff - Lip Sync Battle 1

One of the reasons why we like to spend some time on YouTube is just to have some plain good old fun! Hence, from today on, there is a new category on this website called Fun Stuff. So, if you want to know what exactly on YouTube puts a smile on my face, follow this category. Today, we kick off with Lip Sync Battle. Yes, I know, not very original... Anyway, what started as a segment on Jimmy Fallon's Late Night show has in the meantime become a separate - and very successful - TV show. The concept is very simple: 2 celebrities battle each other in a lip-sync competition. Let me share with you some of my favourites. If you have been following this website for some time, you must be aware that I have a bit of a crush - not a big one, because that is reserved for somebody else - on Timothée Chalamet. But another actor who makes my heart beat a little bit faster nowadays is Tom Holland; he is cute, talented and sweet. But I had no idea that this man could dance so well! ...

Fresa Y Chocolate (1993)

It's the end of August and slowly but surely, Oscar season is heating up. Right now, a lot of countries are selecting the movie that will represent them for the Oscar of foreign language film. 16 countries - and counting - have done this so far. Flashback to 1993, when Cuba chose its most successful movie ever... In an ice salon, somewhere in Cuba, two men meet. One is David, a student in political science, in favour of the Cuban revolution, who has just been dumped. The other is a flamboyant gay photographer, Diego, who opposes the revolution and is clearly smitten with the student. From the beginning, it is clear that these two men are each others' opposites and not just on a political level. The movie follows the budding of the unlikely close friendship between the two men through a series of conversations. Diego can not help but fall with the gorgeous student and David gradually comes to a better understanding of Diego's political choice. Enter Diego's lovel...
