From David Yates (director of several Harry Potter films and the last Fantastic Beasts movie – Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016), Eddie Redmayne is back for Fantastic Beasts 2 – The Crimes of Grindenwald.

Redmayne is joined by Jude Law, Ezra Miller, Johnny Depp, Katherine Waterston, Colin Farell and others for more ‘wandtastic’ adventures as Newt Scamander.

The stunning visuals, including costume design, are why I’m in. I also can’t wait to see what Johny Depp’s character gets up to.

I have a feeling that this film is going to be a constant reminder of the reason why movies are my absolute favourite. They are, when done wonderfully, a true, perfect amalgamation of all the arts.

Fantastic Beasts 2 – The Crimes Of Grindenwald Release Dates: November 16th, 2018 (US & UK)…

Paolo Sorrentino, the rightfully celebrated writer/director is the man behind the brand new HBO/Sky series The Young Pope.

Starring Jude Law, Diane Keaton and Silvio Orlando, Law is Lenny Belardo, aka Pius XIII and history’s very first American Pope.

First trailer

Full trailer

My levels of excitement about this show were first high because the trailer looks fantastic, with great music and editing. But, unexpectedly, my joy reached even greater heights when I learned of Sorrentino’s involvement. After all, he did write and direct Youth (2015), one of the most visually stunning movies I’ve seen in a while. There’s also The Great Beauty (2013),  2014’s Best Foreign Language Film Oscar winner, which he co-wrote/directed. 

I say bring on the stunning cinematography and storytelling. I can’t wait to find out what really drives Pius XIII – because based on this beautiful trailer, it’s not just love and holy duty.

The Young Pope Release Dates: October 21st, 2016 (GER); 2016 (US)…

King Arthur – Legend Of The Sword is the title of  Guy Ritchie’s latest present to passionate film lovers like myself.

Starring Charlie Hunnam, an actor better known for hit TV series Sons Of Anarchy, I feel as though this retelling of the King Arthur story has arrived just in time.  For one, Hunnam feels like a brilliant casting choice, and second, I could do with a refresher on the story, since I barely recall the premise.

I LOVE this King Arthur trailer! The music, editing, dialogue, camera work – all the reasons I fell in love with Ritchie’s talents in the first place. I’d stop writing this post and go see it now if could. Patience! – said everyone.

Jude Law, Eric Bana, Djimon Honsou, Annabelle Wallis, Aidan Gillen and Michael McElhatton also star.

King Arthur – Legend Of The Sword Release Dates:  March 2nd, 2017 (FR); March 24th, 2017 (US & UK)…

In Genius, the new movie directed by Michael Grandage, Colin Firth is Max Perkins, the book Editor who oversaw the work of some of America’s best-known writers. Namely, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Thomas Wolfe and Ernest Hemingway.

Genius looks like the kind of movie that’ll be most interesting to writers and fans of the key actors involved. I’m just not sure that this particular cut of the trailer has me that eager to see the film. Perhaps, if the inauthenticity of Jude Law’s accent wasn’t so obvious, maybe I’d be more excited.

How about you? Are you drawn to Genius?

Nicole Kidman, Vanessa Kirby, Dominic West, Laura Linney and Guy Pearce also star.

Genius Release Dates: July 29th, 2016 (US)…

THE HOLIDAY (2006): Good At Christmas & Any Other Time The Mood Strikes…

Set in England and Los Angeles during the festive season, The Holiday stars Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Jack Black and Cameron Diaz.

Written/directed by Nancy Meyers, the story of the four main and very relatable characters is beautifully told and features the perfect musical score by the great, one and only, Hans Zimmer.

My favourite scene which I’m sure is also the favourite of many others is the one in the fort that features two talented child actors, Emma Pritchard (Olivia) and Miffy Englefield (Sophie).

The Holiday is a film to watch when you’re in the mood for a good romance/comedy, whether it’s Christmas or not. Lastly, I’m not at all mad at the undeniable Bridget Jone’s Diary (2001) vibe.

Watch it because it’s good, funny and romantic.

Happy Film Loving,
