One Day She'll Darken is based on the true story of Fauna Hodel, a woman who was given away as a baby by her teenage birth mother to a black female attendant in a casino restroom in Nevada. Her investigation into her past leads her to an infamous Hollywood gynaecologist who was connected to the legendary "Black Dahlia" murder of Elizabeth Short in LA in 1947. Chris Pine stars as a former Marine-turned-paparazzo who was disgraced over a story he wrote about Hodel, but sees an opportunity for redemption in her tracing her roots.

There is no way for me to review Wonder Woman my way, without revealing major plot points; so if you don't want to be spoiled, don't read it first. Also, WHAT are you waiting for? Go watch it *immediately*!

Though 2014 wasn't a remarkable year for Hollywood, 2015 is looking good. Every entertainment website on the internet, whether of note or not, has already listed their most anticipated movies for the year, so I shan't add my voice to the chatter. (I agree with most of them anyway. Besides, if you read my blog often enough, you already know what film I want to watch the most this year.)

Some Russians living in the past are planning the collapse of the U.S. economy, and it's up to a brilliant CIA analyst to stop them. If this plot sounds familiar, it's because every other action movie ever made, save those about unstoppable vehicles or sci-fi elements (and sometimes not even then), has it, give or take a few minor changes: the nationality of the villains, the "thing" they want to collapse, the government organisation of the hero's vocation.
