Personal Review:
One question:How did this movie got an Oscar?!?Honestly now,it was sooooooooo boring and meaningless...Only music...They talked once in a 100 min movie!!!I was like "kill me now!"...Seriously,I've started thinking about how reliable Oscars can be..I mean,ok Jean Dujardin was excellent at his role let's say that he indeed was worth taking an Oscar but the movie??Noooooo!!Whoever of you is planning on watching it then don't.I didn't like it at all..I'm disappointed cause I expected something better.When it was released someone said that you'll either love or hate it...I'm in the second category...

Simon Curtis
Director: Simon Curtis
Writers: Adrian Hodges,Colin Clark(books)
Stars: Michelle Williams,Eddie Redmayne,Kenneth Branagh


Plot:
Colin Clark, an employee of Sir Laurence Olivier's, documents the tense interaction between Olivier and Marilyn Monroe during production of The Prince and the Showgirl.


Personal Review:
I really wanted to watch this movie since the moment I heard it was released.A real story is always by far more fascinating than an imaginary one and especially if it's the story of one of the most important people like Marilyn Monroe.Everything's real.The movie "The prince and the Showgirl" exists and imagine that in order to show how things actually were they even refilmed some parts of the old film.Plus to the stunning acting by Michelle Williams who at some points really looked like the original Marilyn.Definitely recommended.



Cast:
Michelle Williams-Marilyn Monroe

Eddie Redmayne-Colin Clark

Julia Ormond-Vivien Leigh

Kenneth Branagh-Sir Laurence Olivier

Emma Watson-Lusy

Dominic Cooper-Milton Greene


Judi Dench-Dame Sybil Thorndike

Stars:Asa Butterfield,Chloe Grace Moretz,Christopher Lee


Plot:

Personal Review:
To tell you the truth I was dissappointed by this film.I don't know why but I was expecting much more.First of all it's a fairytale and not a good one.Soooo predictable and it took so long.At some point you are getting bored if you ae npt a primary school child.It lasted for 2 hours and also the explanation given at some parts were silly in my opinion.If you want to watch it go ahead but make sure that the thing you want to watch is another predictable film and if you have little brothers or sisters better leave them watch it by their own.The good thing was that the durector "Goerge Melies" is actually real.And the fact that this film got 5 Oscars but they were all about the technology used.

Cast:
Chloe Grace Moretz-Izabelle


Asa Butterfield-Hugo Cabret
