If you didn’t already know, boxing movies are still the thing, for today, we have another.
Starring Robert De Niro, Edgar Ramirez and Usher Raymond, Hands Of Stone is based on the true storie of boxer Roberto Duran and his celebrated trainer Ray Arcel.
I’ll be tuning in mainly because of De Niro, Ramirez, Turturro and of course, as always, the story of greatness.
Directed by Jonathan Jakubowicz; Ana de Armas, Ellen Barkin, John Turturro and Jurnee Smollett-Bella also star.
A determined woman taking charge of her destiny and going after her dreams – especially when no one else believes; that for me is the subject matter of David O. Russell’s Joy; the movie that just got Jennifer Lawrence another Best Actress Golden Globe win.
In Lawrence’s third movie with Oscar-winning director, O’Russell, she’s joined by his other two favourite actors, Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro. There’s also Isabella Rossellini, Virginia Madsen, Elizabeth Rohm and Edgar Ramirez; all of whom deliver notable performances. I found Rossellinni and Madsen’s characters particularly entertaining
Joy (2015), Isabella Rossellini, Elizabeth Rohm
The journey you get to go on in the story of Joy will make you laugh, cry and cheer. As you do at least two of the above, you may also notice the beauty in the cinematography, filming style, dialogue and the perfect pace of this movie. All these elements combined make Joy a lot of fun to watch. Another plus is the many useful lessons for aspiring business people with big, lofty ideas and dreams.
Watch it because it’s good and because you know that making it in life and business can be hard. but the question is, do you really know just how hard? Joy, who comes in the shape of a seriously badass Jennifer Lawrence is happy to show you, as well as remind you that it’s never really over until you decide.
I loved the teaser trailer for David O. Russell’s latest film Joy, when I saw it a few months ago. I’m happy to report that the latest trailer is the perfect tease and even more exciting.
Who doesn’t love to watch the perceived underdog take charge and silence the doubters with legendary action?
I’m looking forward to everything, including the comedy, dialogue and… absolutely everything!
Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper, Edgar Ramirez and Isabella Rossellini are the stars.
Release Date (s): December 25th, 2015 (US), January 1st, 2016 (UK)…
‘Find people you like working with and work with them whenever possible‘. These are words that probably came out of acclaimed Director David O. Russell’s mouth at some point, for here comes another movie starring his two favourite actors, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.
Add Robert De Niro and you’ve got the cast of Silver Linings Playbook (2012), O’Russell’s Oscar-winning 2012 movie.
O’Russell’s latest biography/drama, Joy is the story of a family across four generations, and the woman who rises to become founder and matriarch of a powerful family business dynasty.
Based on the trailer, it looks filled with trying times for the family but I’m looking forward to seeing Lawrence’s character make sweet, sweet lemonade out of it all.
The original Point Break action film directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starring Patrick Swaze, Keanu Reeves and Gary Busey was a hit. Now, twenty three years later, a remake is coming.
This time, starring Luke Bracey, Edgar Ramirez, Teresa Palmer and Ray Winstone; director Ericsson Core’s plot appears to be roughly the same, except for a new character or two and some added relevance for modern times.

The good news is, I didn’t find myself laughing out loud at the new trailer the way I did at its predecessor, so that’s a good sign… probably? Maybe?
