Actors out of Their Elements
You know what I’m talking about right? The funny guy getting all dramatic, or the action dude trying to be funny.

The crossover from one acting genre to another can sometimes be […]

The Iron Lady – New Trailer
The Iron Lady, a film I’ve mentioned in anticipation in at least 2 or 3 posts, finally released a full-length trailer recently, giving us more to look at and think about after watching.
