Directed by Anthony Maras, Pressure is a new drama/history/thriller set during the tense 72 hours before D-Day, history’s largest seaborne invasion, marking the start of Western Europe’s liberation from Nazi control.

Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon, Andrew Scott, Damian Lewis and Chris Messina are among the key cast.

When you don’t want to watch a war movie, but the acting power involved is so strong, you may just have to. That’s where I am right now.

Admittedly, part of what’s swaying me to see this is how much I loved Andrew Scott’s small role but mighty performance in Sam Mendes’s 1917 (2019). His part in Pressure is far from small, and that’s what’s so exciting about it; he has more screen time to delight and move us with his performance.

What is your appetite like for this particular war movie?

Henry Ashton, Con O’Neill, Tamsin Topolski, Daniel Quinn Toye, Wil Coban, Michael Benz, Harrison Osterfield, Richard Clothier, Joshua Hill, Charles Camrose and Patrick Flannery also star.

Pressure Release Dates: May 29th, 2026 (US), September 9th, 2026 (US)…

This Beautiful Fantastic is a comedy/fantasy/drama about the friendship between an aspiring children’s author and a cantankerous, rich old widower.

Jessica Brown Findlay, Jeremy Irvine, Tom Wilkinson and Andrew scott star.

Fantasy generally isn’t my favourite genre, but the humour between Wilkinson and Brown Findlay’s characters is the main reason I want to watch. On the other hand, it may just be that I have ‘a thing’ for seemingly unexpected friendships. I.e. The Intern (2015). We’ll just have to see.

This Beautiful Fantastic Release Dates: March 10th, 2017 (US)…

An acclaimed historian fighting in court to defend historical truth. This is the subject of director Mick Jackson’s latest film, Denial.

Based on a true story, Timothy Spall plays David Irving (a renowned holocaust denier) opposite Rachel Weisz’s Deborah E. Lipstadt.

The subject matter is certainly very interesting to me but  I’ll also watch because Weisz is yet to disappoint me, performance wise. Of course, Mr Spall, Andrew Scott and Tom Wilkinson aren’t bad either.

Lastly,  who doesn’t love the idea of a good courtroom drama?

Denial Release Dates: September 30th, 2016 (US); February 3rd, 2016 (UK)…

VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN (2015): New Trailer With Daniel Radcliffe & James McAvoy

Starring two of my favourite British actors, Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy, this version of the Frankenstein tale should be interesting. Firstly it’s from Igor’s perspective, rather than Frankensein’s which is new and interesting. Second, it’s set before the Frankenstein we’re most familiar with today emerges.

Without further a do…

Directed by Paul McGuigan of Lucky Number Slevin (2006), (a movie I recommend), bring on November 25th.
