Gravity (2013 Space Thriller Film)
I still remember that day in October, 2013 when Gravity opened in cinemas and I was one of the first people who saw it on its opening day. The cinema was rather surprisingly empty, mimicking the vast space where this film was mostly set. It became a box-office phenomenon a …

Movie The Descent

Gidget (TV Series)
