Description

Filmed in 2011 during Glee hiatus; premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in 2012 then released worldwide in January 2013, Struck by Lightning is the second film produced by the Glee idol, Chris Colfer after his directorial debut The Little Leftover Witch made under the contract with Disney. Chris has written a screenplay for Struck by Lightning and played the leading role. The movie revolves around the flashbacks of main character, Carson Phillips who was stricken by the deathly lightning bolt. Before he dies he experiences the colorful memories about the last years of his life. He ran a literary magazine at Clover High School and in order to get a material constantly blackmailed his classmates – in most cases very successfully. Besides the genuine Chris Colfer's play we enjoy the performances of Sarah Hyland (April Apocalypse, Conception, Gay Dude) and Christina Hendricks (Seconds of Pleasure, How to Catch a Monster, Ginger & Rosa) accompanied by spontaneous Bachelorette star Rebel Wilson (Pitch Perfect, Pain & Gain, What to Expect When You're Expecting). Carson's parents are portrayed by Allison Janney (Lucky Them, Bad Words, Trust Me) and Dermot Mulroney (Space Warriors, Jobs, Stoker).

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

The Hangover numbers among those very few movies that can lay legitimate claim to the title "instant classic." As contrived, convoluted, twisted, silly, and slapstick as something woven from the three stooges meeting the Marx brothers, "The Hangover" nevertheless maintained its sincerity and inspired audiences' sympathy for the poor slobs they were watching screw-up at every available opportunity. We call that "comic genius.""Can The Hangover Part II possibly reprise the genius and do justice to the original? As the movie went into post-production, Hangover star Bradley Cooper shared his worries, telling The Los Angeles Times, "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't trepidatious." The el dos, the original characters travel to Bangkok, which Cooper characterized as "Las Vegas on steroids." Stu once again is scheduled for nuptials, and he has pre-empted a bachelor party rerun by scheduling a proper, safe, conservative pre-wedding brunch. Of course, the words "yeah, right" come to mind. The studio says, "What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can't even be imagined.""Cooper assuages his own and the audience's trepidations, claiming, ": "The script was better than the first one. The scope is larger. [Shooting it] went smoother than it did the first time in terms of letting spontaneous moments happen." Devoted fans have their fingers tightly crossed.
