Top 5 Hollywood Actress of 2016 – A MovizArk Take!!!

While, I haven’t seen (yet) some critically well received films like Moonlight, Silence, Fences, 20th Century Women & Elle, (which I am sure would have affected my list), I have tried my best to bring down some of the best & worst to come out in 2016.

Loving (2016) Review!!!

Synopsis – The story of Richard and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple, whose challenge of their anti-miscegenation arrest for their marriage in Virginia led to a legal battle that would end at the US Supreme Court. My Take – As evident from the trailers, this is a civil rights film. But unlike all the other civil rights bio-pics, this one centers on interracial love, the … Continue reading Loving (2016) Review!!!

The weekend didn’t quite turn out as Mojo had forecast as the top twelve grossed a combined $149.4 million compared to Mojo‘s forecast, which foresaw the top twelve grossing over $180 million. Part of the blame lay on an over-estimation of the weekend’s top new release, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which did deliver a solid #1 opening, but couldn’t match Mojo‘s lofty expectations.
