In a while I used to hate movie critics. Not because they seem to pan every movie that came out since the Golden Age of Hollywood. It’s because most of them seem to think that every movie that comes out must deliver a new perspective on the human nature. There are very few movie critics [...]

Movie star Chiwetel Ejiofor, the famed actor who starred in movies such as Endgame, Serenity, the blockbuster 2012 and Love Actually is certainly endowed with charisma and talent.
