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.

THE LOBSTER (2015): Trailer Of The Week

Colin Farrell’s latest is on the way. And…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Lobster (2015).


Delightfully nuts‘ seems like the perfect phrase to describe new drama/sci-fi/romance, The Lobster. I can’t wait to see how things turn out for Farrell’s character. However, perhaps the title of the movie may have given it away.

Personally, I’d want to be a Snow Leopard. You?

Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, the rest of the cast includes Olivia Coleman, Rachel Weisz, John C. Reilly, Ashley Jensen, Lea Seydoux and Ben Whishaw.

The Lobster Release Dates: October 16th 2015 (US & UK)

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.

THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL (2014): Your Stunning Audio Visual Feast Awaits…

Written/directed by Wes Anderson, The Grand Budapest Hotel is a dramatic comedy/adventure that stars Ralph Fiennes, Adrien Brody, Mathieu Amalric, Jude Law, Edward Norton and two great young actors by the name of Tony Revolori and Saoirse Ronan.

Anderson’s film is a wonderful feast of good and humorous storytelling that features rich, colourful cinematography and great dialogue.

Every line that comes out of the mouth of Monsieur Gustave – who is excellently played by Ralph Fiennes is delivered with such expert comic timing, that upon second viewing I could barely look at anyone else. The same can be said for every move made by M. Gustave.

Oddly enough, the first couple of times I tried to watch The Grand Budapest Hotel, I stopped within ten minutes of starting. I just couldn’t get into the swing of it at first.

Having now seen the film more than once, please don’t let the initial slow-ish pace at the beginning dissuade you, for things get most interesting as soon as Monsieur Gustave is introduced, ten minutes in. That’s when the adventure truly begins. Watch it, see and enjoy.

SPECTRE (2015): Welcome James. It’s Been A Long Time…

Sam Mendes, the Director of my favourite film, American Beauty (1999) said yes to making his second James Bond movie – and the first teaser trailer for Spectre (2015) has now arrived.

It looks like we’ll be getting more of the signature breathtaking cinematography, musical score, action sequences and the super dialogue typical of recent Bond films.

With some of Europe’s finest film making talent at the helm – Sam Mendes, Christoph Waltz, Lea Seydoux, Monica Bellucci and of course, Daniel Craig, all we have left to do now is look forward to the final product and hope that the next trailer or two don’t reveal too much of the plot, please and thank you.

Happy Film Loving,
