I have very fond memories of watching football matches that featured Cristiano Ronaldo when he was still at Manchester United. The greatness of the athlete was and still is, undeniable.
From award winning director Anthony Wonke, Ronaldo is about what it is that makes the man. Through unprecedented access to the much celebrated footballer and his inner circle for over 14 months, we’ll get to know more of Ronaldo’s story from the beginning through to his life today.
Ronaldo will be good for my general curiosity about extraordinary humans. May this documentary be at least half as memorable as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Pumping Iron (1977).
Alfred Hitchcock is a name all fans of film learn about sooner or later. He is the most famous British director and has inspired many directors after him.
In this Kent Jones-directed documentary, a selection of some of the best film directors of today talk about how much Hitchcock influenced their own work. Particularly what they learned of Hitchcock’s approach to filmmaking in French director Francoise Truffaut’s 1966 publication, Cinema According to Hitchcock.
Martin Scorsese, David Fincher and Wes Anderson are three of the directors who share their experience in Hitchcock/Truffaut. I look forward to being enlightened.
Funny woman Sarah Silverman has a new trailer and it’s not a comedy.
The last time I saw Silverman in a serious dramatic role, she was in Take This Waltz (2011).
This time round, she’s not a supporting actress but the lead. As such, if you’re a fan of her comedy, make sure you’re in the mood to watch a drama because you probably don’t want to find yourself disappointed because you’re wanting or expecting her to be funny.
Directed by Adam Salky, Josh Charles and Thomas Sadoski also star.
It’s time for another comic book movie, but not the kind you’re used to.
I’m familiar with Snoopy and Charlie Brown. Though mainly by name and aesthetic. It should be interesting to finally discover what’s so great about the characters and stories many fans love.
