When the news that Robin Williams had passed away earlier this week, the whole globe broke into a tears. The cascade of anguish that poured out into the internet and atmosphere were filled with wishes of warmth, dedication and utter devastation. Whilst we fondly remember his most incredible roles, a theme streaked through the actor’s portfolio; tenderness, energy, love and the skill to level darker elements such as death and mental illness. There is no denying that the bereft of Robin’s talents touched our souls. Yet there was one role that simply had us chilled, showcasing his much denied ability to become an effective and haunting villain. This is that film, One Hour Photo.

When the news that Robin Williams had passed away earlier this week, the whole globe broke into a tears. The cascade of anguish that poured out into the internet and atmosphere were filled with wishes of warmth, dedication and utter devastation. Whilst we fondly remember his most incredible roles, a theme streaked through the actor’s portfolio; tenderness, energy, love and the skill to level darker elements such as death and mental illness. There is no denying that the bereft of Robin’s talents touched our souls. Yet there was one role that simply had us chilled, showcasing his much denied ability to become an effective and haunting villain. This is that film, One Hour Photo. by Cookie N Screen Pissing it down. That’s what it is doing outside. An entire tirade of water, as though the heavens have squeezed out an Ocean, hit the pavement and drench the sidewalks. Soaking through clothes, the masses that were enjoying a rather pleasant day shopping on Regents Street, are now huddled in the doorways of the shops. Punting against the glass walls of Apple, the rain seems really uninviting as the guests of today’s events sit, poised for excitement over the latest star to grace to stage. It’s obvious why the weather is terrible, really, as the Simon Pegg is here. He, director Peter Chelsom and Hector and the Search For Happiness seems to have stolen the sunshine for this delightful movie. by Cookie N Screen Everyone loves a good Australian. And who better to represent the country down under than this incredible actor, Guy Pearce. Though born in Cambridgeshire, his family usurped themselves to the sunny country when he was two, taking with them any claim on the actor we could have. Probably a lot more understated than ever, Guy Pearce is a daring, unique and stunning actor who started in Neighbours and rose to prominence in the nineties with his incredible talent. Making the rounds in independent movies, he can be seen opposite Robert Pattinson in The Rover, which is out in cinemas today. And again, his performance has been acclaimed. But before you head to the cinemas to see it, why not watch these essentials? by Cookie N Screen Stallone has been a household name since he gruffed his way through boxing rings and the deep jungles. Spitting out lines in a slurry yet passionate way, the action hero has become the muscles of the film industry. Surprisingly, Stallone hasn’t just been an actor, he’s been a director and a writer, earning Academy Award nominations for this skilled and tender writings on certain characters who exude masculinity. So Stallone is a stud full of surprises and is back again today with the phenomenal series where he has gathered the steroid pumped men of yesteryear (and now) to battle against enemy Mel Gibson. But what are The Essentials for this toned man? |
