We all have a love for actors who inspire and visually captivate the audience with stunning performances. Bringing characters to life in iconic roles.
Like Heath Ledger playing the Joker in Batman, The Dark Knight, Jack Nicholson in his countless roles, like The Departed, Joker in Batman, As good as it gets and the postman always knocks twice. Just some of the examples of stunning character displays.
We also cover the other side of the scale where the performances have been truly awful. Like the Green Lantern; terrible storyline with inept character development starring Ryan Reynolds.
Also uniquely we look at things from a different lens, We don’t simply review a role, we look to see if another actor could have played it better and also the value of the acting in the movie. So what that means is we don’t compare apples to oranges and there is no value in comparing a role by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Commando and using the perioscope to analyse that like you would Al Pacino’s role in The Godfather. We call it perspective.

Dwayne Johnson put our Christmas gifts to shame as he surprised his daughters with guinea pigs.
The Black Adam actor shared a sweet video of the moment youngsters Jasmine and Tiana – who he shares with wife Lauren Hashian – locked eyes on their new additions, as well as a mountain of other presents.
In the brief clip, they could be seen running to check out their gifts – before letting out excited screams when they spotted the pets.
‘GUINEA PIGS!!! Hope all of you out there and your families had a wonderful Christmas,’ the 50-year-old wrote beside the upload.
‘This year I started a new tradition where I would wake up at 5am (regardless of what time I went to sleep – which was 1am) shower, get dressed and be downstairs waiting for the little tornados to wake up and come down and wreak complete havoc & chaos.
‘Man as a daddy I live for these moments of joy & Christmas imagination.

‘Hope you enjoyed the tequila I left ya. Love, Dwanta.’

The Hollywood icon has had a busy year, with Black Adam finally hitting the big screen after months of teasing.
He recently shed light on his superhero future after speculation of a shake-up to the DC universe.
Last week, Dwayne revealed he had spoken to newly crowned DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn, and it had been decided that his character would not appear in the ‘first chapter of storytelling’.

In a lengthy statement on social media, he said: ‘My passionate friends, I wanted to give you a long-awaited Black Adam update regarding the character’s future in the new DC Universe.
‘James Gunn and I connected, and Black Adam will not be in their first chapter of storytelling. However, DC and Seven Bucks have agreed to continue exploring the most valuable ways Black Adam can be utilized in future DC multiverse chapters.
‘James and I have known each other for years and have always rooted for each other to succeed. It’s no different now, and I will always root for DC (and Marvel) to win and WIN BIG.
