We at Barking Mad About Films do love a Jennifer Lawrence movie, but one other actress we always keep an eye on is Emily Blunt! She always seems to make at least one film that makes our end of year top 10! Examples are 2015 Sicario; 2014 Edge of Tomorrow; 2012 Looper; 2011 The Adjustment Bureau. 2013 She only provided voiceover work for the English version of The Wind Rises … [Read more...]

As we all know, they did go back one day and made episodes I-III and more recently, we were given Episode VII : The Force Awakens. We believe way back in 1977, George Lucas always said that he had planned 9 films but only made 6! The baton now passed on to other … [Read more...]
