Hi guys, today in Casual Monday i would like to talk to you about a YouTube channel and four awesome movie critics who keep us entertained with their reviews every week.Every week i can't wait for Friday to come so i can watch the four movie reviews that are uploaded to the What the flick?! show channel.The panel of critics consists of Christy Lemire, Alonso Duralde, Matt Atchity and Ben Mankiewicz. Christy Lemire is a former film critic for Associated Press and in 2004 she became AP's first full time critic.She was, also, a co-host for television's "Ebert presents: At the movies" in 2011.Now, she is one of the regular critics on What the Flick?! and has her own website christylemire.com . Alonso Duralde was the artistic director st the USA film festival for five years.He is also the former arts and entertainment editor at The Advocate.He has been a film critic for MSNBC.com and The Rotten Tomatoes show.He is now a movie critic for The Wrap and appears on What the Flick?! .He is a member of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.In 2005 he published his first book, 101 Must-See Movies For Gay Men.His second book, Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas, was released in 2010. Other than co-hosting on the What the Flick?! Matt Atchity is also the editor in Chief of the rottentomatoes.com . Rotten Tomatoes is a website dedicated to reviews, information and news of films. Finally, Ben Mankiewicz started his career as a news reporter and anchor for several programs and magazines.He, then, moved on to sports,gossip and movie shows.He is currently working on What the Flick?! and has made cameos in movies like The Bling Ring and White House Down. So here is one of the most popular reviews of the show:
One more of the changes i decided to do to my blog posts is create Casual Monday.Casual Monday is the day i will post anything new or anything that i though was interesting a movies.Today i wanted to show you and talk a little about a trailer i watched today.The trailer was for the movie Divergent that will be opening on the 21st of March in 2014. Kate Winslet, Shailene Woodley and Maggie Q are some of the leads in the movie.Woodley plays a Divergent (hens the title) in a futuristic Chicago. Divergent is a does not fit in any of the factions that people are divided at that time. Winsnlet portrays some sort of leader in the community and Q is,from what i gathered from the trailer, someone that will help Woodley's character break free. The movie is based on a novel of the same name written by Veronica Roth.The book is the first installation in a trilogy. And even though this genre of movies is not my favourite,the cast made me really look forward to the film.Woodley , previously in The Descendants and The Spectacular Now (which i have not seen yet), show great promise and is one of my favourite young actresses at the moment.Maggie Q, who i know from the TV show Nikita, is one of my favourites anyway.And you can't go wrong with Kate Winslet. So, i can't wait to watch Divergent and review it for you guys. Hope you like the new schedule and look for more changes soon. Here is the trailer:
