'...9. All of Us Strangers

It was a fantastic year to be a Paul Mescal fan, and he showcased the supreme level of his craft alongside a career-best performance from Andrew Scott in the moving and dream-like All of Us Strangers. This was a deeply emotive and beautiful picture to witness, and its ghost-like ambience and intriguing lucid dream narrative made its emotions hit all that much harder. The performances delivered were mirrored by the strong direction of a filmmaker, who made this a uniquely personal story and ethereal photography that pulled you deeper into this tragic yet touching romance...'

'...Back In Action Knows Audiences Expect Andrew Scott To Be A Villain

From Sherlock to Ripley, Andrew Scott isn't known for playing good guys

Back in Action casts Andrew Scott as Baron, an MI6 operative who once went out with Emily (Cameron Diaz) and is clearly still in love with her. Emily and Matt (Jamie Foxx) later suspect Baron is the one chasing after them and trying to recover the ICS key. Of course, audiences will suspect Scott based on his past roles. The Irish star first shot to fame as Moriarty on BBC's Sherlock, and followed up with more villainous parts like C in the James Bond outing, Spectre.

Back in Action itself casts doubt on Baron's intentions as he chases after Matt and Emily, with his colleague Wendy (Fola Evans-Akingbola) suspicious of how he's handling the case. The big reveal that Baron is the bad guy feels inevitable - but it never arrives. Scott's Baron is completely on the level, outside a somewhat creepy fixation on Emily. Still, he has no connection to the mercenaries seeking the ICS key.

Back in Action isn't particularly creative, but Scott's casting against type was a smart move on the filmmaker's part. The actor has played plenty of good guy roles, but audiences are almost predisposed to view him as a villain in disguise - especially as he recently played Ripley on the Netflix series of the same name. Sadly, that means Scott doesn't get much to do in the film, other than issue orders and look stern...'

'...Linklater’s Blue Moon, a period drama about the final days of Lorenz Hart, half of the Rodgers & Hart songwriting team, will have its world premiere at the Berlinale, marking Linklater’s fourth time in Berlin competition. At his last go-around, with Boyhood in 2014, he walked away with the Silver Bear for best director. The feature, starring Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley, Bobby Cannavale and Andrew Scott, will be released worldwide by Sony Pictures Classics...'

'...The main title you should look out for is Richard Linklater’s “Blue Moon” which is set to screen in competition on February 18 at the Berlinale. This will be Linklater’s first time back at the festival since 2014’s “Boyhood.”...

“Blue Moon” was acquired by Sony Pictures Classics, and has a cast that includes Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley, Andrew Scott and Bobby Cannavale. Production on the film began last summer in Ireland and wrapped up in September. Robert Kaplow, who co-wrote Linklater’s underrated “Me and Orson Welles,” has penned the screenplay.

“Blue Moon” is said to tackle the songwriting team of Rodgers & Hart. The film is set primarily in Sardi’s Restaurant on March 31, 1943, the opening night of their musical “Oklahoma!”, which marked Rodgers’s first collaboration with Oscar Hammerstein II as Hart’s replacement...'

I wholeheartedly agree!

Quote for the day:

“I really love that Andrew Scott is a self-proclaimed lover not a fighter - but it’s fucking hot to see him beat the crap out of someone”

having poor circulation is great because people will touch your hand and go 'oh! you're so cold!' and for a moment you get to experience what it's like to be a vampire in a romance novel
