This brings us to the end of the Rami Malek marathon. It's rare to be able to find all of the acting credits listed on an actor's IMDb page, but this time I did it. That man has got to be one of the most talented actors I've ever seen. I can't believe it wasn't that long ago I didn't even know who he was. I'm certainly paying attention now. He's an Emmy winner, a Golden Globe winner and if you read his bio online you'll see that he's won a number of other awards. His career has been steadily building for the last 15 years and now he's catapulted into the A List spectrum of fame and he's going to be in huge demand moving forward. As long as he keeps his head on straight, he's going to be praised just as high as all the great cinematic legends. I'll definitely be paying attention.
Thank you to everyone who followed along!!!

Watched the 2017 biopic Papillon starring Charlie Hunnam and Rami Malek. Can I just say right now that both Charlie and Rami should have gotten Oscar nominations for this. Those were spectacular performances. Henry Charrere "Papillon" is a thief in Paris who makes some bad people mad and they end up framing him for murder, even though he was with a woman at the time and she vouched for him. He is sentenced to a penal colony on Devil's Island in Guiana. He meets Louis on the boat on the way there. Louis is a target by the other inmates because they believe he has money, and if they want to escape, they'll need money. Papillon offers to protect Louis on the condition that he give him money so he can escape. At first Louis says no, but then agrees. Eventually they become very close friends. They attempt to escape a couple of times, but were always captured and each time they get longer periods of solitary confinement. Papillon taken to a part of Devil's Island and released. The cliffs are so high, no one would survive trying to escape from there... but since Papillon went on to write a book about his experience there, we know that's not true. Other versions of this movie have been made. This is a really good version. It's very violent at times so it's not for the kids. But I do recommend it if you haven't seen it yet.
The Golden Globes couldn't have made me more happy! Rami Malek won for Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama and the movie Bohemian Rhapsody won for Best Picture - Drama. So exciting!! I updated my Bohemian Rhapsody blog post. You can read that HERE. Now I'll finish the last movie and complete this Rami Malek marathon.
Ok... we're into the home stretch now. I only have one more Rami Malek movie to watch but I'm going to take a break for now and watch him win a Golden Globe award for playing Freddie Mercury in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. I'll be sure to get in the last movie tonight as soon as the awards are over.

Watched the 2014 movie Need for Speed starring Aaron Paul, Imogen Poots, Dominic Cooper, Rami Malek, Ramon Rodriguez, Kid Cudi, Dakota Johnson and Michael Keaton. Tobey owns a custom automotive business. Along with the men who work for him, they are street racers with the goal of making it to the ultimate street race, The DeLeon. During a street race, an ex business partner causes an accident that kills a man. He ddrives away but Tobey goes back to try and help him and is arrested and sent to prison for 2 years for manslaughter. After that, justice and revenge is all Tobey wants. I'm really not a fan of street racing and wish studios wouldn't make movies that glamorize it because real people get killed every day, usually people not doing the driving (hello Paul Walker). That aside, it's a good story and the actors are all amazing and it was worth watching.

Watched the 2013 movie Oldboy starring Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Imperioli among others. Josh Brolin plays Joe, married with a wife and daughter and an alcoholic. One night he passes out and wakes up locked in a room where he's taken care of by his captors but he has no idea who has locked him up or why. He learns that his wife was murdered and he's the prime suspect and that his daughter has been adopted. He spends 20 years locked up. He's drugged, then released with a cell phone and some money. He looks up an old friend for help, who then calls Marie to help. Rami Malek plays a guy who's listed in the credits as Browning, but from what I understand, his role was whittled down to one quick gruesome cameo. The picture I used below is the only one I could get that wasn't gory. There's a lot of game playing with some plot twists. If I try to explain any of it, it will give away the story. It's a really good story. I know a lot of people say the original Korean version of this movie was better, and it probably was, but I've never seen that so I have nothing to compare this to. If you haven't seen the original, you'll probably like this, if you've seen the original, you'll probably be disappointed in this one.
January 5, 2019
Watched the 2013 movie Ain't Them Bodies Saints starring Rooney Mara, Casey Affleck, Ben Foster and Keith Carradine. Rami Malek has a cameo role in this. This is about a married couple - the wife is pregnant. The husband and his friend commit a robbery, the wife drives the get away car. The friend is killed, the wife shoots a cop. The husband says he shot the cop to protect her. He goes to prison, she promises to wait for him and has the baby girl. After years of being in prison and 5 attempted escapes, he finally escapes and is on the run. The cops and bounty hunters are watching the wife since they believe that's where he'll go. There's a lot of details in between those things and the ending I'm not going to give away. It's a really good movie if you like dramas.
January 5, 2019
Watched the 2014 movie Da Sweet Blood of Jesus starring Stephen Tyrone Williams, Zaraah Abrahams and Rami Malek among others. Dr. Greene, who is an anthropologist, collects all kinds of African artifacts. He comes across a dagger from the Ashanti Empire. Apparently that whole civilization was addicted to blood. A crazy colleague of Dr. Greene's snaps and kills him with the dagger and then shoots himself. Dr. Greene comes back to life and drinks his blood. From then on he couldn't get enough. He learned that he could bite people and drink all of their blood until they were dead... or were they? Rami Malek plays his very loyal and unsuspecting butler Seneschal. Dr. Greene falls in love, she and Seneschal hate each other. People die. Stuff happens. This really isn't a horror movie if that's what you're expecting. Some kind of message was trying to come across but it's really not clear exactly what that message is. I'm not sure, but I think the message of this movie was about addiction. The dialog really isn't good, it's monotone and bland. The only saving grace are the few lighthearted moments of Rami's character. The good part is, it's on Amazon Prime and I didn't have to pay anything extra to see it.
January 5, 2019
Watched the 2012 movie Battleship starring Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard, Rhianna, Liam Neeson, Brooklyn Decker, Tadanobu Asano, Hamish Linklater, Gregory Gadson and Peter MacNicol among many others. Rami Malek had a brief, small role with a few lines as a Watch Officer mostly interacting with Liam Neeson. I love playing the game Battleship and when I heard they were going to make a movie of it, my first thought what "huh"? Big movie studios try to capitalize on just about anything and movies based on toys and games are rarely that successful. When it was released, I'd heard that it wasn't a good movie from people I know who saw it at the theater, so I put it on the back burner and said I'd watch it some day but not pay the theater prices for it. I'm glad I made that decision. The movie is about an alien invasion mainly centered over Hawaii. Different country's Navy ships were all there for some kind of training/competition and end up having to battle those aliens for real. It was slow going for me to the point where I nearly turned it off, but I stuck it out and it got better as it went on. This could have been a great movie, but that script needed a lot more work and it's obvious it was rushed into production. I'm not going to recommend the movie and at the same time I'm not going to say you shouldn't watch it either. It's up to you.
January 5, 2019
Watched episodes 5, 6 & 7 of season 1 of the 2012 animated series The Legend of Korra. From what I understand this is a spin-off from another series called Avatar: The Last Airbender. The series is about a girl named Korra from the Southern Water Tribe. Korra has mastered most of the elements except airbending so she has Tenzin training her. She joins a bending team called the Fire Ferrets with 2 brothers. Rami Malek is the voice of an extremely arrogant character named Tahno who is part of another bending team called Wolfbats. Again, like my previous post, this is not a show I would seek out to watch unless it's part of an actor marathon because I really have no interest in it and it's difficult to understand unless you're really into that kind of stuff and know all the backstories. It ran for 4 seasons so it did have an audience so I'm sure some of you would enjoy it if you haven't seen it.
January 5, 2019
Watched season 5 of the 2014 animated TV show BoJack Horseman. This is definitely not a cartoon for kids, it's for older teens and adults. The story takes place in HOLLYWOO... apparently the "D" was destroyed earlier in the series. The characters are a mix of human and half human half animals. The main character is half horse half human who is a has-been actor from some TV show who thinks he's going to regain fame by writing his autobiography using a ghostwriter. Rami Malek is the voice of a human character named Flip McVicker who is the creator of a new sitcom starring BoJack called Philbert. Flip thinks he's really smart but he's not and he constantly clashes with BoJack. It's not a show I would personally seek out to watch unless I'm doing an actor marathon, but it's been on for 5 seasons and I see online that it will be back for a 6th so it's definitely got a big and loyal audience. If you're into these types of shows, I'm sure you'll love it.
January 3, 2019
Watched the 2014 pilot episode of the TV show Believe Rami Malek guest starred on. The show is about a little girl with supernatural powers. There's a government organization whose goal is to turn all humans with powers into weapons and another organization of good guys whose goal is to hide and protect people with powers. The little girl is with her "foster parents" when a government assassin causes a bad car accident and kills the adults. The assassin wasn't able to get the girl before a doctor showed up on scene and said he'd called 911. The little girl was taken to a hospital where she meets Dr. Terry, a young resident who just had his first patient die on him, his father is near death and he thinks his father is disappointed in him so he put in his notice to quit. The good guys break a man out of prison who was wrongly accused of a crime and was minutes away from being executed. They declare him the girls new guardian. He wants nothing to do with her but finds he has no choice but to do it. They get the little girl out of the hospital, fight a lot with the assassin and get some bullet wounds. The little girl uses her super powers to find Dr. Terry's house where she talks him into helping the guardian with his bullet wound. While Dr. Terry sews up the wound, the little girl communicates with his comatose dying father and she tells Dr. Terry that his father was actually proud of him, he was wrong and wished he had told him that. Dr. Terry thinks she's bizarre and scary but becomes a happy believer when a prediction she told him would happen, came true. The guardian's relation to the girl is revealed and things begin to make sense. This show only lasted for 13 episodes before it was cancelled. The pilot was really good. Not sure if I want to spend the time to get invested in the whole series knowing it's going to end without any real closure.
January 3, 2019
Watched the 2005 season 2 episode 3 of the TV show Medium titled Time Out of Mind Rami Malek guest starred on. There were two separate story lines happening in this episode. One was very complex and confusing but came to light as the episode went on. A woman from the 50's was a psychic but didn't know that and nobody believed the things she said. She had visions and knew every detail of Allison's (Patricia Arquette) life. She faked the death of her own daughter in order to hide her and to save her from a life of abuse. She survived her suicide attempt and ended up in a psychiatric hospital where she underwent the most barbaric treatment at the time. She requested her therapy sessions be filmed because she know one day Allison would watch them and figure out the truth about her daughter and end up saving her daughter's life again. I was so happy to see actress Barbara Tarbuck in this episode too. I had the privilege of working with her a couple of time when I produced productions of The Vagina Monologues in 2015 and 2016. She passed away December 26, 2016 so I cherish those memories even more because she was such a nice lady. Rami Malek's story line was brief. He played a guy who murdered his parents and said Jack did it. He said Jack lives inside of him and hated his parents. Allison kept seeing a series of numbers with him so she wrote them down. The numbers turned out to be his doctor's bank account where he paid her a butt load of money to say he had multiple personalities and coached him on how to behave like someone with multiple personalities. Things didn't go so well for either of them after that. I've seen some episodes of that show but not all of them. It never held my interest for long periods of time, though the episodes I've seen are really good.
January 3, 2019
For the last few weeks I've been watching episodes of the 2005 TV series The War at Home. The show is about a loving yet dysfunctional family. There's the dad who is a bully, bigot and sexist similar to the Archie Bunker character from the 70's TV show All in the Family or the Al Bundy character from the 90's TV show Married With Children. The mom tried to be a responsible parent but is constantly sarcastic. There's the narcissistic teenage daughter who hates her family unless she needs something, the nerdy middle son who is constantly berated by his entire family and the youngest son who always has scheming ulterior motives for everything he does. Rami Malek plays the lovable scene stealing next door neighbor Kenny in the spirit of the character Steve Urkel from the 90's TV show Family Matters. He is best friends with the nerdy middle son Larry, whom he also has a mad crush on as he's a closet homosexual who isn't fooling anybody except Larry for the majority of the show. Kenny finally comes out as gay about half way through the second season and gets a boyfriend played by Jackson Rathbone, who Rami also worked with in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2. That show only lasted two seasons before being cancelled. I think it probably would have done better if they had done a lot more with the Kenny character. Even though these types of dysfunctional family comedies have been done to death, it is enjoyable and was worth the time to see.
January 1, 2019
Watched the episode of the 2012 TV show Alcatraz Rami Malek guest starred in called Webb Porter. The premise of the series is, in 1963 Alcatraz was shut down because it was an unsafe place. All of the prisoners and staff disappeared somehow. Now it's modern time and the prisoners are starting to reappear committing their crimes and there's a special secret government agency that is trying to catch them all as they appear and find out why it's happening. Rami Malek plays a serial killer whose mother tried to drown him when he was very young which left him permanently with tinnitus (constant ringing in his ears). Certain sounds drown out the humming, especially when he can get music in his head so he's taught himself to play the violin by ear. One night he murdered his mother and 4 other women and that's how he ended up at Alcatraz. At Alcatraz he's been segregated from general population because he bothers the other inmates. A psychologist is assigned to help him, she gets him back to playing the violin and in time he's able to be put back in general population. In modern time, he's taking women with long hair hostage, cutting their hair off and using the hair for his violin bow. When he's done with them, he kills them. Now this is a good show and it's a shame it only lasted one season. I'm going to watch the other 11 episodes. Rami's performance was fantastic.
January 1, 2019
Watched the two episodes of the 2005 TV show Over There Rami Malek guest starred in... Roadblock Duty and The Prisoner. Rami plays an Iraqi named Hassan who was caught by the US troops at a military checkpoint hiding in the trunk of a car. It's believed he knows where stolen Stinger missiles are hidden. They take him to an abandoned city to interrogate him while having to fight off enemy attacks. His acting was fantastic as always, but that show is horrible and I'm not going to watch the rest of it. They made the US soldiers look like untrained idiots at times, barbaric, racist, sexist etc. It made me feel sick that people who are supposed to be evolved human beings could be that horrible. Of course all we have to do is look at Twitter these days to see that humans really are that bad. The show only lasted for one season before getting cancelled and that was long enough. I don't recommend it at all.
January 1, 2019
Watched the three season 8 episodes of the 2010 TV show 24 Rami Malek guest starred in... 12:00am through 3:00am. There's a whole complicated story lines happening like always with that show. Rami plays Marcos Al-Zacar, born in the United States to an American mother (Mare Winningham) and a Kamistani father. His father was falsely arrested for connections to a terrorist organization, and when he was proven innocent and released form prison, he couldn't find a job and committed suicide. Marcos became very bitter towards the American government and joined the Islamic Republic of Kamistan. The IRK killed Kamistani President Omar Hassan's brother and Chief of Staff Farhad Hassan, but were given falsified reports that he was still alive to draw the terrorists out. Marcos was ordered to sacrifice himself to make sure Farhad Hassan was killed so he went out wearing a bomb vest. Agents were able to remotely disarm the bombs, but Marcos knew how to re-arm them so he could detonate them manually. When he was confronted, he jumped out a window. He was badly hurt but didn't die so he stumbled into a chamber in the hospital and locked himself in so he could work on the bombs. When Jack Bauer brought Marcos' mom into the room, she was able to talk some sense into him and he wanted to take the bomb vest off... only the IRK was also monitoring what was happening and was re-armed the bombs remotely. Jack tried to help Marcos disarm the bombs but was running out of time. Jack asked a lot of questions and got as much information as he possibly could from Marcos before shoving him back into the chamber and slamming the door just as the bombs went off liquefying Marcos. WOW! Not your normal family entertainment. Great acting though!
January 1, 2019
Watched Rami Malek's very first TV appearance; the 2004 "In the Clamor and the Clanger" episode in season 4 of Gilmore Girls. His brief appearance as a member of a church group and short lines on that show is what made him eligible for his SAG card (that's the Screen Actor's Guild union card) and he's been building momentum ever since. I've never watched Gilmore Girls before... just never had any interest. I don't know if I'm ever going to get around to watching the rest of it or not. We'll see. I know people who absolutely love the show, I just have a very low tolerance for whiny women. I may watch it all some day. Never say never.
January 1, 2019
First movie of the new year... watched the 2009 movie Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb starring Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Robin Williams, Steve Coogan, Dan Stevens, Rebel Wilson, Skyler Gisondo, Ben Kingsly, Ricky Gervais, Patrick Gallagher, Rami Malek, Mizuo Peck, Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Bill Cobbs, Andrea Martin, Matt Frewer and Brad Garrett. We see how the tomb of Pharaoh Ankmenrah was discovered accidentally by an archaeologist's young son. The archaeologist was warned not to remove things from it or the end would come. At the museum in present time, the exhibits help Larry create an night time interactive experience for museum visitors. Ankmenrah shows Larry that something is wrong with the tablet and doesn't know what to do about it because only his father knew the secret of the tablet. Things at the museum go very badly because of the tablet. Larry learns that Ankmenrah's parents are in a museum in England and decides to ship Ankmenrah there to find out what's going on. Some of the other displays stow away in the box. Again, these exhibits have never come to life before so they're dealing with a lot of unknowns. This one actually made me cry a couple of times and I did enjoy it very much.
December 31, 2018
Watched the 2009 movie Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian starring Ben Stiller, Amy Adams, Owen Wilson, Robin Williams, Steve Coogan, Hank Azaria, Christopher Guest, Alain Chabat, Ricky Gervais, Bill Hader, Jon Bernthal, Patrick Gallagher, Rami Malek and Mizuo Peck. Two years have passed. Larry had quit his job at the museum to start his own business which is extremely successful. He stops in at the museum one day to learn that most of the exhibits are being shipped to the Federal Archives at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. Jed manages to call Larry to let him know that Dexter the monkey brought the tablet with him and everything a the Smithsonian came to life, including Ankmenrah's bitter brother Kahmunrah. Larry goes to the Smithsonian in an attempt to make things right in a museum where displays are coming to life for the first time. I enjoyed this one too.
December 31, 2018
Just watched the 2006 movie Night at the Museum starring Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Robin Williams, Steve Coogan, Carla Gugino, Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Bill Cobbs, Kim Raver, Rami Malek, Patrick Gallagher, Steve Coogan, Pierfrancesco Favino, Mizuo Peck and Ricky Gervais. I'd never seen this series of movies before. The more hype a movie gets, the less I want to see it. I always end up seeing them eventually, just long after the hype is long gone. Larry needs a real job to pay his bills and take care of his son so he gets a job as a night watchman in the museum of history. The museum is cutting costs by letting the 3 old watchmen go and just have one younger guy... only they're not going to go quietly. Larry learned the hard way that all of the museum displays come to life at sundown and has to figure out how to keep them all in line and safe inside the musum before the sunrise or they turn into dust. It is cute and fun to watch. I enjoyed my beloved Pierfranceso Favino as Christopher Columbus, though you can barely tell it's him. Rami Malek is the mummified Pharaoh Ankmenrah. I'll be watching the two sequels next.
December 31, 2018
Just watched the 2013 independent film Short Term 12 starring Brie Larson, John Gallahger Jr., Rami Malek, Kaitlyn Dever and Lakeith Stanfield. This was written, directed and produced by Destin Daniel Cretton. He originally made a short film of the same story with the same title, then was able to get the funding to make the feature length film. The story is about the people working at a group home for at-risk teenagers. Rami Malek plays the new guy who wasn't really prepared for what it was going to be like there and had to learn to toughen up a bit. The story is mostly centered around Brie Larson's character and her personal pain on top of working in that home and dealing with the kid's pain and needs. It's an excellent story for those of you who love independent films as much as I do.
December 30, 2018
Just watched the 2012 movie The Master starring Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Rami Malek. This movie really got on my nerves. Not because it's a bad story, it's a very good story, but Joaquin Phoenix never should have been cast in this. Don't get me wrong, I like him, but he's way too old for the part and it shows. The character just got home from WWII and can't adjust to life. At the time the movie was filmed Joaquin was around 37 or 38 years old. In the movie he looks way older than the other Navy men characters. The actress playing the girl he was in love with before he went off to war is Madison Beaty. At the time this was filmed she was around 16 or 17 years old. He looks more like her father instead of a young couple in love in their scenes. I can't wrap my mind around why he was cast in this when there a so many other talented actors out there who would physically match the character. Anyhow, he stows away on a wedding boat and meets up with a group called "The Cause". Philip Seymour Hoffman plays "The Master"... a wanna be cult leader who is quick with his words to get people to believe anything he says as he makes it up. Rami Malek plays a member of "The Cause" who marries "The Master's" daughter. I'm not going to say any more than that about the story because anything I say about the plot will just give it away.
December 30, 2018
If you read my blog post about Bohemian Rhapsody, I mention that just before Bohemian Rhapsody opened, I looked up Rami Malek to see what other work he'd done because I wasn't familiar with him at the time. I had seen the 2012 movie The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 a long time ago because I really do like those Twilight movies for some reason. I assumed he was one of the vampires but I wasn't sure, so I re-watched it to job my memory and now I remember. He played Benjamin, the vampire who can control the elements and helps the Cullens as they stand up against the Volturi who want Alice in their coven and try to use Edward and Bella's half mortal / half vampire child Renesme as the reason to destroy them. The movie stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Ashley Greene, Jackson Rathbone, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed and Billy Burke among many others.
December 30, 2018
On December 2, 2018 I finished binge watching the first three seasons of the TV show Mr. Robot starring Rami Malek, Christian Slater, Portia Doubleday, Carly Chaikin, Martin Wallstrom, BD Wong, Bobby Cannavale and a whole lot of other people listed on IMDb. Elliott Anderson has some kind of schizophrenic type mental disorder. He snorts morphine, blacks out, has multiple personalities, is in therapy, works as a computer programmer by day and a hacker by night. He, or his other personality sets in motion the ultimate hack designed to take down the most powerful financial company in the world which would wipe out everybody's debt. His way of sticking it to the man. A group of like-minded hackers carry out the plan but weren't prepared for what would really happen. This is a fantastic show I'd never heard of before recently. I see Rami Malek won an Emmy in 2016 for Outstanding Lead in a Drama Series and Christian Slater has won a Golden Globe. Very well deserved! I'm all caught up now and waiting for season 4 in 2019, which I've read will be the last season.
December 30, 2018
On December 6, 2018 I finished watching the 2010 10-part mini series The Pacific as part of my Tom Hanks marathon. The series stars James Badge Dale, Joseph Mazzello, Jon Seda and Rami Malek,among a whole lot of other people with Tom Hanks as the Narrator. This is the followup to Band of Brothers where Band of Brothers focuses on the war in Europe, The Pacific focuses on the 1st, 5th and 7th regiments of the 1st Marine Division's battle against the Japanese on various Pacific islands like Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, Okinawa and the Battle of Iwo Jima. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. Those battle scenes are very gruesome and difficult to watch, especially knowing that those things really did happen. I can't even begin to imagine how it was for the real men these stories are based on to have been there. The actors are beyond outstanding. It was interesting to see Joseph Mozzello and Rami Malek on screen together again after having just seen them in Bohemian Rhapsody, which I wrote about and you can read HERE if you like. I think it's important that we all see movies like these mini series to get a better understanding of what our soldiers go through for us.
December 30, 2018
I'm a major independent film junkie so after seeing Rami Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody, I checked his IMDb page to see what else he's done. I saw that he had done a 2016 independent film called Buster's Mal Heart so I watched it on November 17, 2018. The movie stars Rami Malek, Kate Lyn Sheil, DJ Qualls, Lin Shaye and Sandra Ellis Lafferty among others. The movie is mostly flashback that goes back and forth between a mountain man on the run who breaks into people's vacant vacation homes and lives for a while before moving on, the same man floating in a small boat at sea and him as a family man with a wife and daughter working the graveyard shift as a hotel concierge. It's an interesting movie. The acting is excellent. The outcome is really left up to the viewer interpretation. Give it a go and see what you think.
December 30, 2018
I just recently watched the 2011 movie Larry Crowne back on November 11, 2018 as part of my Tom Hanks marathon. The movie stars Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Cedric the Entertainer, Wilmer Valderrama, Pam Grier, Bryan Cranston, George Takai, Rita Wilson and Rami Malek. A divorced middle aged man loses his job because he never went to college and can't advance anymore without a degree. He decides to go to college where he excels and meets new and interesting people. Rami plays the stereotypical screw-up college boy who at first doesn't take anything seriously but eventually comes around. There's a lot going on and it's a fun movie to watch. Definitely worth seeing if you like rom-coms.
December 30, 2018
I'm going to kick off this marathon with the movie I'm hoping he gets an Oscar nomination for is the 2018 movie Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm not going to go into a lot of detail on this page for that movie because I already wrote a blog entry for that not too long ago so if you want to read what I think of that movie, click HERE.
December 30, 2018
The first thing I always do before I begin an actor marathon is set up an Excel spreadsheet listing all of their credits listed on IMDb and divide it into Film and Television. This makes it easier for me to know where online to look for them. As I watch the movies and TV shows I'll highlight the lines yellow. The goal is to have all of the lines yellow. If after exhausting every resource I know of and I'm unable to find something, I'll highlight it red. I now have my Rami Malek page all set up and I'm ready to begin the marathon.
