'A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS' WHO PLAYS KLAUS? LOUIS HYNES HAS KICK-STARTED HIS CAREER IN STYLE!


Whilst Neil Patrick Harris is the star of Netflix's new series, A Series of Unfortunate Events, fans should keep an "eye" out for the new up-and-coming talents that are playing the very unfortunate Baudelaire children, particularly in regards to Violet and Klaus. (Don't get me wrong, Sunny is insanely cute, but as a baby, her acting is currently restricted.) Fans may recognize Malina Weissman, who plays Violet from various other projects, but who plays Klaus on Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events? The middle Baudelaire child is played by the very young and very talented actor Louis Hynes.

 Hynes is fairly new to the small screen. A Series of Unfortunate Events is only the second show he's ever been on and his first staring role. Prior to the Netflix show, Hynes was on the History Channel's docudrama Barbarians Rising as the young Alaric for two episodes last year. After his work on A Series of Unfortunate Events, though, it won't be surprising if we start seeing a lot more of Hynes in the near future. The young actor makes for an excellent Klaus who's known in the books for his love of reading and his glasses. Hynes has perfected the look of Klaus and the ability to quote information from the many non-fiction books he's read verbatim while using his matter-of-fact tone of speaking. 

Thanks to their outstanding portrayals, the Baudelaire children truly come to life in this new show. They're clearly the breakout stars of the show and really drive the plot forward in intriguing ways. Neil Patrick Harris' role as Count Olaf is also perfectly cast. The actor's theater experience really shines through in the series, and he brings the perfect level of hilarity and villainy to the character that fans of the books will appreciate. I know this as I am one of them fans these books where the first books I ever read, I just couldn't stop reading i was so engrossed, this was about 10 years ago now and i still have the collection.
Even if you haven't read the series, you'll love this new Netflix original. Although the show itself will try to persuade you not to watch it, you definitely shouldn't listen. While there are definitely plenty of unfortunate events that occur as Lemony Snicket warns, the show is also smartly funny, filled with a cast of very interesting, and often times crazy characters, and includes enough twists to leave you wanting even more.
It's why you'll probably finish the whole series in less than a day. A Series of Unfortunate Events is perfect for binging (although what Netflix show isn't?), so get ready to dive into this unfortunate world. If you haven't read the books I would recommend doing so as the series is only 8 episodes long and covers just 4 books so good news we can expect at least another 3 series as there are 12 books. Everything was spot on from cast to costumes. I'm so excited to see how the progress further but for now, A Series of Unfortunate of Events is available on Netflix as of yesterday.

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
