Rediscovering Steve Carell in Cafe Society

Am not going to ruin the movie to anyone who didn’t watch in Lebanon because pretty much majority didn’t watch. Though, there’s something you really should know about it.

Chris Pratt Shines, But the Rest of The Magnificent Seven Misses the Mark*

The film was a major letdown. The screenplay felt weak, and several casting choices were questionable at best.

Despite this trend, some exceptional films have stood out and left a lasting impact. Movies

What makes most movies of our time crappy?

First of all, they are drained of creative ideas. Nowadays filmmakers got nothing to offer, they either remake a movie that had been made in the 60s or make a prequel to a blockbuster in the 70s or worse they buy the rights to a movie that has been done already. As for the drained
