Ever wondered which are the best movies about gambling

user
Finding a good movie about gambling that doesn't have those washed-up, vanilla scenes where casino first-timers shower in champagne, have two girls on each arm, throw the winning chips or are bathed in jackpot coins. That is why if you're a real casino-themed movie fan, you will definitely enjoy these non-cliché movies. So, pop some corn, find a comfy position on the sofa and be prepared to watch some state-of-the-art casino movies.   Casino – Martin Scorsese A real...

Is Kristian Nairn the next big brand ambassador?

Some brands will forever be synonymous with their ambassador, the celebrity that has fronted their advertising campaigns.

Choosing the right brand ambassador can make or break the success of an advertising campaign. A thorough vetting procedure needs to be carried out by the brand before signing up a celebrity as one scandal could end up dragging their reputa...

But the idea of cinematic universes has taken to a different level by the movies based out of comic book heroes. Here we have to mention the cinematic universes created by Marvel and DC, which are quite extensive and interweave th...

The truth behind Molly’s Game

    Aaron Sorkin has written quite a few biographical drama films over the past one decade: Steve Jobs, Moneyball, The Social Network. However, quite unlike other screenwriters, rather than paying attention to the fussy details, he’s always keen on the dramatic stories behind his subjects.   It’s a commonly known fact that Mark Zuckerberg was never fostering a bad-breakup grudge when he rose in popularity. However, that plot definitely made for an excellent fi...

How I worked on making Boyz'n the Hood a Box Office and Oscar success through the Cannes presentation

Very dear memories from my days in Cannes launching Boyz'n The Hood fro Sony  I had the immense privilege to run the marketing at Sony when i received (early 1991) a video tape from Boyz'n The Hood with the Studio suggesting to submit it to Cannes. To our great surprised satisfaction, Gilles Jacob invited the film  (first feature by young John Singleton) into "Un Certain Regard".

Movie memories, what James Bond has taught us throughout the years

Picture Source: Den of Geek   For over half a century, Ian Fleming’s 007 agent of her majesty’s secret service, James Bond, has been gracing the screen with his high-octane escapades. Whether played by Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan or, most recently, Daniel Craig, Bond has been an icon of style, sex and suave manliness for practically every man born after the 60s. The archetypical man that “all the women want, and all the men...
