MY BLIND BROTHER (2016): The Thing I Liked…?

My Blind Brother is a movie about the relationship between two brothers, (one of whom is blind) and how their lives are further complicated when a girl comes into the picture.

Starring Nick Kroll, Jenny Slate, Adam Scott and Zoe Kazan, I found My Blind Brother quite dull. It felt like a lesser version of a good movie about the relationship between two brothers and the complications that arise  when a girl shows up.

As you can imagine, sibling rivalry comes into play in this story but the general element of dull just reminded me that I’m unfortunately completely over watching Nick Kroll play ‘loser’ characters. Adult Beginners (2014) was quite enough in that regard, thank you. 

Looking on the bright side, as one must, I did find Adam Scott mildly entertaining as the entitled blind brother. But that’s it.

BLACK MASS (2015) Trailer 2, Looking forward To The Humour

Trailer 2 for Black Mass, one of the year’s most promising films is here.

Featuring the brilliant acting talents of Johnny Depp, Benedict Cumberbatch and Dakota Johnson, to name just a few, the story of James ‘ Whitey’ Bulger, south Boston’s most infamous violent criminal is looking like something no true film fan is going to want to miss. I can tell you agree.

After seeing this trailer, what’s suddenly very intriguing is the female characters. Particularly how much denial they were likely in. I guess we’ll all find out in 5/6 months.

I get the feeling that the soundtrack to this movie  is going to be memorable.

Black Mass Release Dates: September 18th, 2015 (US), November 25th, 2015 (UK)…

THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY (2013): Inspiration For Living

Walter Mitty is a man who has numerous vivid daydreams about everything he wishes he could be at a given moment but never is.

Directed by funny man, Ben Stiller, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty takes you along on a journey that leads to a point where Walter, as the movie poster suggests, stops dreaming and starts living.

This is definitely an entertaining watch and becomes most interesting and fun from the moment Walter meets the bearded and intoxicated giant (one of my favourite characters). It makes sense that the film becomes especially engaging at this point, because it’s soon after Walter decides to be adventurous, brave, and start living.

For those who realise/feel like they haven’t done much that’s considered noteworthy and want to change that, Stiller’s movie is great inspiration for formulating a plan and taking action.

One of my own dreams was to go to New York. I’d been forever curious for many years. So, finally making that particular wish come true was truly super.

Watch The Secret Life of Walter Mitty for the fun adventure with a handful of entertaining characters. It’s almost a guarantee that you’ll find yourself inspired.

Happy Film Loving,
