  1. Picasso and Banderas go well together if only because of their common ethnicity and language. (If I;m not mistaken they were both born in Malaga, south of Spain).

  3. The trailer looks interesting. You know I've been waiting for this one for some time. I just hope it doesn't drag the way Genius did at times.

    1. I liked this trailer much better than the first one, probably because I did not expect Alex Rich would be so handsome in it.
