By scottshak on Tuesday, May 23, 2017

We were up for a bumpy ride already when we had discovered it was none other Guy Ritchie directing King Arthur Legend of the Sword movie.

The Zookeeper’s Wife Movie Review (2017) | Lacked the Real Tension

By scottshak on Tuesday, May 2, 2017

There are great movies then there are the good ones. I am afraid, The Zookeeper’s Wife Movie falls in the latter category. A historical movie is supposed to put you right there up in time amongst the real characters. It has to be immensely dramatic, it has to carve out pathos, and it has to …

We are no strangers to the fact that Hollywood helms bad adaptations when there aren’t great directors to back a good story. Ghost in the Shell movie is one of the latest victims to that.
