Read my spoiler-free movie review of Child 44 (2015).
The trailer for Child 44 is the reason I was yelping with uncontrollable joy today.
Deservedly, there’s been some talk about the authenticity of the Russian accents. As for me, I’m hoping for the best and I’m happy to watch the talented cast, including Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Vincent Cassel and Noomi Rapace do their thing.
I can’t wait to see this very interesting story unfold.
Happy Film Loving,

If you’ve glanced upon a few of my posts, you may know that I adore the work of Cate Blanchett. But what I’m yet to properly express is my appreciation for the talents of Christian Bale. To talk about that I need another post.
Today however, I sat at my computer as usual, hopeful for some new trailer delights – when Knight of Cups (2015) happened.
First I saw director Terrence Malick’s name, and like a good and loyal canine, up my ears went. Then Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett’s faces appeared. (Yes and yes!) By this point I was sure that my excitement had peaked. But then…
Natalie Portman! I haven’t seen my dear ‘Lady Portman’ in something amazing since Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan (2010). So, right now, happiness is most definitely me.
The idea that I’ll be able to maintain any semblance of calm on the day I go see Knight of Cups is very, very wrong. Until then though, I have this…
It’s not particularly the best/most thrilling trailer I’ve ever seen, but the talent… Oh, the talent!
Happy Film Loving,
