Margot Robbie: A Blond Beauty. Also, an all-rounded producer!

“Barbie” is undoubtedly the most successful film Hollywood has seen last Summer. In less than three weeks, “Barbie’s” global box office sales exceeded the billion USD mark.

Faced with this phenomenon, even Nolan’s "Oppenheimer" had to be bundled with it and promoted as "Barbieheimer". Our protagonist in “Barbie”, Margot Robbie, sports a head of gold curly hair, a tight figure and exquisite

Arthouse Films in 2023: Something in the Air

Each year, film festivals around the world showcase a multitude of arthouse films. Out of all of them that I have watched, some regrets remain, as I have not watched The Zone of Interest, Close Your Eyes, Monster, and The Boy and the Heron. As seen from the hundreds of films available at the festivals, this year's movie industry is thriving. Familiar faces make new attempts and show innovations. New films emerge continuously, as people from more regions and of different backgrounds join the pool

2023 Hollywood Industry Chronicle: The Collapse of the Old Order (Part 1)

It is evident: the cinema world is standing on a crossroad now. Perhaps since the transition era between the silent films and the sound films, no other year had made us such a feeling that the film industry has come to a breaking point than 2023. And never before have even those who are most certain about cinema been so confused about it, and trying to make fundamental changes. It was a year that we witnessed the dysfunction of the film industry in every aspect: the awards system, the labor-mana

My Top 10 On-Screen Emotional Outlets in 2023

After the gradual large-scale release in various countries across Eurasia, Luc Besson's new work "DogMan" is set to make its way to Latin American theaters in 2024, starting from Brazil and Mexico. This film is a typical Besson creation—simple, direct, satisfying, and enjoyable.

Words cannot describe such gratifying moment

2023 is almost over, and when I look back on this year I can’t help but wonder: have I seen any good movies? Honestly, my mind just can’t get any more blank.

2023 : Real Life Wins and Fictional Losses for Anti-Cap

Since a shockingly young age I’ve been an annoying little commie leftist - I guess that’s what empathy will do to you. That means I’m always hyper-aware of the messaging in everything I read and watch, making 2023 a rather complicated year for me. On the one hand, there were the WAG and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which were absolutely beautiful displays of the power of collective action… but on the other hand, did anyone else notice how pro-establishment film and television was this year? I want to be c
