I had no idea that what was missing from my life was another Alice in Wonderland movie. That was until I saw the rather beautiful new trailer for Alice Through The looking Glass.

Trailer 1

Trailer 2

I remember loving 2010’s  Alice In Wonderland (2010). As such, I hope that at the very least , this will be close to as good as its predecessor.  Especially considering Tim Burton’s highly imaginative brain isn’t the one in the director’s chair this time.

Bring on the colours, the rhymes and the brilliant costumes!

Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Anne Hathaway, Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter make up some of the colourful cast.

Release Date (s): May 27th, 2016 (UK & US)…

Happy Film Loving,

Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Intern (2015).

Writer/Director Nancy Meyers’s new movie The Intern stars Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway.

I didn’t write about the first trailer because it didn’t have me excited. But the latest one is definitely preferable. It’s the young female entrepreneur element that appeals to me most. That and the generally trustworthy cast that includes Rene Russo.

The Intern Release Dates…

SONG ONE (2014): For Anne Hathaway & Folk-Rock Music Fans

Song One is well-acted and definitely not the kind of feel-good romantic comedy that you may be expecting. It is a hopeful drama but it’s also quite dull and depressing in parts.

The film, written and directed by Kate Barker-Froyland starts with a 19 year-old musician played by Ben Rosenfield getting hit by a car. His sister (Anne Hathaway), in trying to do everything she can to help end his comatose state, starts a relationship with his favourite musician, James Forrester (Johnny Flynn).

Song One is a film you watch if the story and themes mentioned above intrigue you. Another reason would be if you’re more than just a casual fan of Hathaway and or folk-rock music. Otherwise, more than once or twice, you’ll likely find yourself checking the time after hitting play.

Of all the things that happened in Song One, I enjoyed the sibling relationship dynamic the most.

Lastly, ‘In April’ and ‘Little Yellow Dress’ are my favourite songs on the soundtrack. Watch it if you’re curious.

Happy Film Loving,

INTERSTELLAR (2014): As Expected, Christopher Nolan Did It Again. It’s Good

I finally did it. I watched Interstellar! The nearly three hour running time is part of the reason why I hadn’t yet. Plus, I believe it important to be in the right mood for a particular type of film before watching.

From Christopher Nolan, the director who brought us the hugely successful Inception (2010) and the recent Batman trilogy, the cast for Interstellar includes Matthew McConaughey, Ann Hathaway and Jessica Chastain, to name just a few.

Nolan has once more delivered a memorable film. One that features some stunning space imagery, a handful of nail biting/tense moments – and at the heart, a powerful and extraordinary father/daughter love story.

If you happen to be into astronomy and science, you’ll likely love this film even more, because it covers space exploration for the purpose of saving human kind from extinction – and it’s not afraid to dive into the science.

Like Inception (2010), Interstellar deals with a few non-simplistic concepts and therefore requires your full attention. I think I managed to keep up quite well, even though science isn’t my subject. That said, please be so kind as to not test my knowledge because I will fail. Thank you.

Happy Film Loving,
