For those who follow ideological conflicts on the Croatian internet, the end of 2017 and the start of 2018 were marked by an unusually fierce clash between the owners of two portals who liked to declare themselves as liberals. The nominal reason for the showdown between these alleged like-minded individuals was a diametrically opposed understanding of personal freedoms, particularly those concerning control over one…More

Molly's Game is my pick for this week's theme of femme fatale, a character based on what I consider a real-life femme fatale and a movie which I loved. Molly's Game is a 2017 American biographical crime drama film written and directed by Aaron Sorkin starring the wonderful actress Jessica Chastain as the lead and Idris Elba as her co-star. Source This is the true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic skier who after sust…More
Jessica Chastain is an extremely underrated actress, at least by the general public. Her versatility is amazing and a movie like "Molly's Game" manages to enhance all her immense talents. Chameleon-like qualities that allow her to be credible both in the parts of a sexy poker princess and a brilliant woman rich in culture and intellectual passions. But in general it's all her filmography that speaks for her. A serie…More
Undoubtedly we are witnessing the golden age of content and film productions where it is increasingly common to see well-constructed stories based on complete characters that constantly stand out for the depth they manage to give to their interpretations. Without a doubt, the film Molly's Game is an example of how stories constructed and developed around the characters is synonymous with almost guaranteed success. #…More
Recently I talked about the wonderful A Most Violent Year, and previously about the very good Miss Sloane, both share something in common with Molly's Game, the participation of Jessica Chastain. These, along with some other movies that I have not reviewed yet but in which she also acts and that I have seen, have shown me that she is a reliable actress, I will try to include more of her filmography on my list, if yo…More

I have to admit I am a sucker for true stories because they are so much more interesting to me than fiction. This is likely why I prefer non-fiction books as well. I broke from my week of shocking Korean movies because needed something a bit less traumatising. The nightmares were just getting to be too much. Molly's Game centers around the life of a quite talented woman who just happened to be good at everything. Sh…More

Autobiographical and semi-biographical films have always been and will always be something that will attract the audience. This little piece of time that we get as an insight into a private story of a person meets our unexpected desire for the knowledge of the lives of well-known people as well as their journey to that point. So even this year, among the candidates for the biggest awards, we have films of this genre…More
I had no idea what I was getting myself into (I personally don't watch movie trailers, I only post them here for content. My advice, don't watch movie trailers and just take my word, if it's good or not 😉), the only thing I knew about the film was Aaron Sorkin. This movie was 2 hours and 20 minutes long and didn't even feel like it! Aaron Sorkin is a fabulous writer! The way he filmed the movie had you in from the…More

Her Olympic dreams were dashed following a freak accident during qualification. Every bit as…More
