"Young Adult" awesome first poster; Steven Spielberg to direct "Robopocalypse"; Trailer for Swedish "Beyond" starring Noomi Rapace;

  • Jason Reitman's (Thank You for Smoking; Juno; Up In the Air) upcoming movie got its first poster. Young Adult stars Charlize Theron (Monster) and Patrick Wilson (Little Children), between others, and it was written by Diablo Cody (Juno). The awesome looking debuted posters resemble a book, with a very elucidative picture about how's Theron's character and an awesome way to show the director's previous credits (that golden stamp)... I think there's no better words to describe this poster than "smart", "appealing" and "awesome" in spite of seeming a bit too pink for a movie for grow-ups, but it can be the intention, specially when there's a slogan like "Everyone gets old/Not everyone grows up"! Young Adult will be released in 16th December and it is considered an Oscar contender in a big couple of categories including Best Picture. Here's the movie poster:


  • According to Entertainment Weekly, "That Steven Spielberg is one busy guy. In addition to directing this year’s The Adventures of Tintin and War Horse, plus next year’s biopic Lincoln, the filmmaker is also preparing his 2013 project, Robopocalypse. More details about the sci-fi action movie emerged today. For one, DreamWorks and Twentieth Century Fox will be co-financing the (likely big-budget) production, according to a statement released by both studios. (Deadline first reported the news.) And Disney’s Touchstone Pictures will be distributing the picture domestically on July 3, 2013. Based on the recent novel by Daniel H. Wilson, Robopocalypse is about humanity’s struggle to survive a global robotic uprising. Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) is adapting the book for Spielberg, who is expected to start shooting the project next year in the late spring". Well, I don't know what do you think, but after seeing J.J. Abraams' Spielberg style Super 8, I wanted to see Steven Spielberg doing another science-fiction movie and it seems that he listened to my prays! A.I.: Artifical Intelligence was good, very good indeed, and it was about robots, but Robopocalypse promises something more thrilling, a kind of A.I. mixed with War of Worlds... Excited for this one!

    • Sweden's Best Foreign Picture Oscar submission's, Beyond, movie trailer was released. The movie is the directorial debut of Pernilla August (Anakin Skywalker's mom in Star Wars prequels) and it stars Noomi Rapace (Swedish movie adaptation of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) and Ola Rapace (Noomi Rapace's real-life husband) and, according to IMDb, it is "a drama set in 1970s Sweden and centered on a young woman's experiences growing up in a home riddled with abuse and alcoholism". The movie looks good and while there's no guarantee about a Best Foreign Picture Oscar nomination for Beyond, Noomi Rapace's presence elevates the movie, for sure! Here's the movie trailer:

    TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today - 2017

    The almost annual TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today is out, with me considering the performers' performances of 2016 also. We have a few changes since last year's list, with Greta Gerwig toping the list thanks to her last 3 great performances in Mistress America , Maggie's Plan and the Oscar buzzy acting turn in 20th Century Women . Scarlett Johansson comes second with her latest distinguished performance being in 2014 ( Under the Skin ), but she managed to be at the spotligh this year thanks to her fine turns in critically acclaimed movies: Hail, Caesar! , Captain America: Civil War , The Jungle Book (voice) and Sing (voice). Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon  and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ).

    TOP 10 Most Promising Movie Actors (under 30)

    Today I discussed about how awful some "teen icons" are and then we talked about some exceptions. So, I decided to make a little list, a TOP 10, with the male actors that I think that will become music in an ocean of noise somewhere in the future (I did one list before, but it was a little bit pathetic and I didn't justify my choices). Let's start... 1 - Ryan Gosling He may not have a huge list of movies in his body of work, but the few times he makes something, all the time he almost carries the movie. In fact, Gosling is a proof that talent does exist and that you don't need excentrical characters to receive raves. He rose to fame after the big screen adaptation of The Notebook (2004) and then received lots of critical praise for his performances in movies like Half Nelson (that gave him an Oscar, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations), Lars and the Real Girl (that gave him a Golden Globe, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations) and Fractur...

    TOP 35 Actors and Actresses with or under 35 years old: 2018

    I think it was my TOP 35 under 35 list I've ever done since I remember: so many great performers emerged last year with distinguished performances that elevated their previous works (I'm talking about Elizabeth Olsen , Lucas Hedges , Robert Pattinson , Gaspard Ulliel , Tessa Thompson or Jamie Bell , for example). I'm kinda sad I felt "forced" at letting Jonah Hill ( Moneyball and The Wolf of Wall Street ) and Emma Watson ( The Perks of Being a Wallflower , The Bling Ring and 2017's Beauty and the Beast ) out of the list. Congratulations to Kirsten Dunst , who turned 35 last year so she can not be included in this year's list - such an amazing child actress turned movie star, who delivered memorable performances in Interview with the Vampire (1994), The Virgin Suicides (1999), The Cat's Meow (2002) or Melancholia (2011). This year, Saoirse Ronan tops the list thanks to two great performances: On Chesil Beach and an iconic acting turn in Lad...
