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.

Trailer: The King

Ever since the trailer of The King was released on the Internet, people have been talking about 2 things; the long blonde hair of Robert Pattinson and the incredibly talented Timothée Chalamet. I have to admit that even when I saw the trailer for the first time online I had to gasp. To be honest, I have never been a fan of the Twilight series or Robert Pattinson. But some years ago I saw Bel Ami and he really impressed me in that gem. And apparently, he is receiving praise for his role as the Dauphin in The King. But most of the praise goes to Timothée Chalamet, who sports an ugly haircut in The King and speaks with a convincing British accent. He is only 23 years old, but what a talented young man! If you love movies, you must have seen Call Me By Your Name (for which he received an Oscar nomination) and Beautiful Boy (for which the Academy ignored him). This is a great actor in the making. The King will know a limited release and will stream on Netflix from November. Th...

YouTube - Ghost Stalkers

After Nick Groff left Ghost Adventures , he launched Paranormal Lockdown and also served as an executive producer for another paranormal television series, Ghost Stalkers. This series only lasted for one season (end of 2914) and has six episodes, each devoted to one (supposedly) haunted location. Each episode lasts about 45 minutes. Ghost Stalkers features two hosts, actor Chad Lindberg and author John E. L. Tenney. Both have a lot in common: not only do they believe in the paranormal, but they both also experienced an NDE (Near Death Experience). Because of this, they believe that haunted locations contain a portal (to hell), where the dead can cross over from one world to another. And it's their mission to find this portal in the locations they investigate in each of the six episodes. For this, they use a device, called a wormhole detector, built to discover gateways that connect different realities with each other. The two men have different personalities though and thi...

YouTube - Ghost Adventures

I actually have no idea how I discovered Ghost Adventures on YouTube. Probably I looked for videos with ghosts or something paranormal in them and that is how I found them. And I have been a big fan since then ever since... It all started in 2004 with an independent film with the same title, shot like a documentary. In it a team of 3 men, Zak Bagans, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin, research 3 places that are supposed to be haunted. And it all looked creepy, fascinating and adventurous at the same time. The three men seemed to know what they were doing and exuded passion. Fast forward to 2008 when Ghost Adventures resurfaced as a series on the Travel Channel. It quickly became one of the most popular paranormal series on American tv. Each program follows the same procedure: arrival at the supposedly haunted location, accounts by eye-witnesses and historical information. This takes about 20 minutes after which the investigation itself starts; the three men are locked up at the loca...
