We have looked at our favourite Oscar winning actresses, now we are going to look at the one we didn’t like, which ones do you think weren’t Oscar worthy?

Next Round – Worst Movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – Closing Date Friday 4^th May 2018

Milo – Stuff and That

Dianne Wiest – Bullets Over Broadway

Honestly, I haven’t seen Bullets Over Broadway and I don’t know who Dianne Wiest is. BUT, she’s the reason Uma Thurman didn’t win for Pulp Fiction, and that’s enough for my vote. Oh, and it’s a Woody Allen movie, ewwwwwwww….

Gwyneth Paltrow – Shakespeare in Love

Easy. Gwyneth Paltrow in Shakespeare In Love. Because I hate her.

Opinion Battles Round 14 – Favourite Leonardo DiCaprio Role

Its time for Round 14 of Opinion Battles! This time we’re talking our favorite Leonardo DiCaprio role! Talk about a hard choice, right? He’s done so many and almost all of them are really great. While I can’t say that Romeo and Juliet is my favorite movie of his, I did think that his Romeo was done really well. I always have a soft spot for that movie because of his role in it.
Everyone put out some solid choices! Go check it out and drop your vote on our selections! 🙂

Silence of the Lambs

Silence of the Lambs brings us one of the greatest horror villains we have ever seen in Hannibal Lector we get one of the strongest leading female performance from Jodie Foster. This is the sort of film I could watch over and over because I love the investigation storyline but placing serial killer as support when it comes to solving a new serial killer. Buffalo Bill is arguable one of the…

Darren – Movie Reviews 101

Event Horizon

I have selected Event Horizon because I feel it could easily be one of the most underrated horror films that built on what films like Alien created, it offers a new enemy in space rather than the easy option of aliens giving us a manmade terror. I will like to point out this is one horror film that could easily be missed but the pure levels of gore…

Opinion Battles Round 11 Worst Sequel

Worst Sequel

Saw 6

I personally am picking a film that shattered what was created by the previous film, I am not saying this is the worst film ever I just feel this film doesn’t do the previous instalments the credit they deserve. I am a fan of the idea behind…

Opinion Battles Round 9 Best Adapted Novel/Book

Check out Round 9 of Opinion Battles! I’m sitting somewhere in the lower middle of the pack here in terms of results but its my fault that I choose these obscure movies. However, this round is right up my alley (not that my choice will be any more popular). We’re looking at Best Adapted Novel/Book.
Hands down, this goes to Julie and Julia which is not only my go-to feel good movie but its a super fun culinary adventure that I wish I could someday incorporate onto my blog like how Julie Powell did. Plus, its an amazing team with Amy Adams and Meryl Streep! 🙂 I just love it!
