Ryan Reynolds’ Sci-Fi Flop Self/Less Deserves More Love Than Its 18% RT Score Suggests

by

As a movie fan, I remember Self/Less being a total disappointment. It only scored an 18% on Rotten Tomatoes and really bombed at the box office – it made just $31 million on a $26 million budget. Looking back, it’s not a huge shock, considering Ryan Reynolds’ career really took off a year later with Deadpool. It’s a shame, though, because the director, Tarsem Singh, had done some visually stunning work before, like with The Cell and Jennifer Lopez, but he couldn’t seem to capture that same magic with this one.

Tom Stoppard, Tony and Oscar Winning Playwright, Dead at 88

by

Tom Stoppard was born Tomáš Sträussler in Czechoslovakia in 1937. When he was less than two years old, his family fled the Nazi invasion, first to Singapore. A few years later, when he was five, everyone except his father moved to India. His father, a doctor, remained in Singapore to continue helping people. Tragically, he died when the ship he was traveling on was bombed by the Japanese army. In India, Tom and his brother went to an American school where he began using the name Tom and eventually took his stepfather’s last name, Stoppard. By 1946, the family had settled in Nottingham, England.
