IMDb: all cast When I visited my brother in a suburb of Chicago one year, I took a similar train at the crack of dawn and arrived downtown. At rush hour on that same day, I took the outbound train and reached the same platform at the station where I boarded, but on the opposite […]

Cast: IMDb Annihilation (2018) A movie with an original concept that is logical, plausible and scientific(somewhat). Unlike most sci-fi films that involve extra-terrestrial , this one doesn’t paint a grim and dark picture. In fact, some scenes are pretty and colourful enough to suggest hopes.
