Featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, Martin Scorsese, Christian Bale and Tom Hanks, to name just a few, Spielberg is a new Susan Lacy-directed documentary about the highly respected director Steven Spielberg’s career.
I’ll watch to learn more about Spielberg. I also just want to listen to a bunch of my favourite filmmakers talk about movies.
Spielberg Release Dates: October 7th, 2017 (US)…
Happy Film Loving.

Director Steven Soderbergh’s new movie is a comedy starring Channing Tatum, Daniel Craig, Adam Driver and Hilary Swank – to name just a few. The story centres around two brothers and their attempt to pull off a heist during a NASCAR race in North Carolina.
Such a pleasant surprise to see Craig’s face in this trailer. I imagine that the impressive cast list for this film was probably ready to do everything in their power to secure a chance to work with Soderbergh. You know, just in case he decides to retire from films one more time, right after this one.
Katie Holmes, Riley Keough, Katherine Waterston, Sebastian Stan, Katie Holmes, David Denman, and Jack Quaid make up some of the aforementioned impressive stars.
Logan Lucky Release Dates: August 18th, 2017 (US); August 25th, 2017 (UK)…

I’ll start this post by saying that my favourite James Bond film of all time remains the massively thrilling Casino Royale (2006). How does this bode with the fact that this is a post about Spectre? Not exactly very well but not absolutely disastrous either.
As the second Bond film directed by Sam Mendes, Spectre succeeds in providing most, if not all of those wonderful thrills synonymous with Craig’s Bond. Thrills that include great action sequences, beautiful cinematography, style, a wonderful sense of Britishness, a great musical score, camera work, dialogue, etc. The only downside is that Casino Royale and Skyfall both do all of those things, but better.
Overall, I enjoyed Spectre, even though it did feel a little odd without Judi Dench as M. I won’t be forgetting the very raw and intense fight sequence on the moving train any time soon
There’s also the moment in the beginning where Bond is walking across the rooftop in Mexico City. I just love the music used here and the way it builds up with every step Bond takes towards his target. This is the moment the famous ‘Bond is back!’ feeling took over; resulting in a prolonged, joyous and silent scream – much to the relief of my fellow cinema goers.
I do wonder though, whether I’d love the rooftop scene as much as I do if Daniel Craig’s physique, especially the way he moves and holds a gun wasn’t so arrestingly appealing? Probably not – and thankfully I know that I never have to find out.
Happy Film Loving,

The final Spectre trailer has landed and to be honest, I feared that it might show far more than I care to see before the movie. I’m delighted to confirm that it doesn’t.
I’m beyond ready for October 16th (UK release date). Spectre will be available in the US from November 6th, 2015.
Happy Film Loving,

At last, the full Spectre trailer lands and it’s perfectly thrilling.
Perhaps it’s a generational thing, but Daniel Craig is without a doubt my favourite Bond, likely forever.
Never has October felt so far away.
Happy Film Loving,
