Read my spoiler-free movie review of Collateral Beauty (2017).

Collateral Beauty is a movie about how one man makes it back after a tragedy sets him off on a downward spiral.

Directed by David Frankel, the talented cast includes Will Smith, Kate Winslet, Helen Mirren, Keira Knightley and Edward Norton.

I’m excited because I love ‘Lady Winslet.’ That’s how I like to refer to my favourite actresses and, generally, any inspiring female.

I’d say Lady Mirren, too, but she’s already officially a Dame, you see.

I anticipate that this film will make some people cry. Not me, though. (LIES, I tell.)

Michael Peña and Naomie Harris also star.

Collateral Beauty Release Dates: December 16th, 2016 (US); December 30th, 2016 (UK)…

THE DRESSMAKER (2015): For The Story, Fashion, Style…

February 28, 2016 Giadreams (themoviemylife.com) 1 Comment

The Dressmaker is a fun revenge drama set in a rural small town in Australia. I use the word ‘fun’ because of the dialogue, characters, cinematography and the haute couture fashion and colours of the 1950s.

The character played by Hugo Weaving is the source of several laughs and a definite highlight. And, as always, the film’s star, Kate Winslet, delivers a wonderful performance. The movie’s beautiful soundtrack, courtesy of composer David Hirschfelder, is also another plus.

Directed by Jocelyn Moorhouse and based on the novel by Rosalie Ham, I say watch The Dressmaker because it’s good. Furthermore, you probably won’t be able to guess how things will unfold before they do.

Sarah Snook, Judy Davis, and Liam Hemsworth also star. Here’s the trailer for a taster.

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

December 7, 2015 Giadreams (themoviemylife.com) 2 Comments

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.

TRIPLE 9 (2016): Explosive New Trailer Starring Norman Reedus, Kate Winslet, Aaron Paul…

October 7, 2015 Giadreams (themoviemylife.com) 5 Comments

Just when I feared things were slowing down trailer-wise because Christmas is coming… Chiwetel Ejiofor, Norman Reedus, Woody Harrelson, Kate Winslet and Aaron Paul have a brand new trailer and this Red Band version is gritty, riotous and explosive.

Perhaps it’s a ‘Valentines day romantic movie’ antidote; especially so considering the US release date is February 2016.

Firstly, Triple 9 is from John Hillcoat, a name you may recognise because he’s the director behind the rather good Tom Hardy and Guy Pearce movie, Lawless (2012).

Second, I want to take a moment to say ‘well done‘ to the trailer maker. Because it’s great that very little of the plot has been revealed, yet I’m hooked. It’s probably best that I savour this moment because by the time trailer 2, 3 and maybe even 4 come around, I’ll know far more than I could ever want, prior to watching the movie.

I’m so looking forward to this and very excited to see what looks like a seriously badass turn from Winslet.

Triple 9 Release Dates: February 19th 2016 (US)…
