CINDERELLA (2015): Cate Blanchett Is Who…?

November 21, 2014 Giadreams (themoviemylife.com) 3 Comments

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

Cinderella is arguably one of the best fairy tales out there. Not because of the famous romance, in my opinion. But rather, thanks to the story of triumph over the unkind and cruel. Particularly when a person triumphs without sacrificing their character and principles.

I’ve watched the below trailer for director Kenneth Branagh’s live-action Cinderella remake a very high number of times, and the great music is certainly a huge part of the reason why.

Bring on March 2015, I say!!

Additional key cast includes Lily James, Richard Madden, Helena Bonham Carter, Hayley Atwell, Nonso Anozie, Stellan Skarsgård, Sophie McShera, Holliday Grainger, Derek Jacobi and Ben Chaplin.

PREDESTINATION (2014): The Next Ethan Hawke 2014 Hit?

November 13, 2014 Giadreams (themoviemylife.com) 2 Comments

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Predestination (2014).

Ethan Hawke has been very busy; a fact that makes me, an eternal fan of great acting talent, a very happy so and so.

With more than 5 releases out this year, including the already very well -received Boyhood, who can blame me?

A sci-fi thriller from sibling directors, Michael and Peter Spierig; the premise of Predestination involves time travel for the purpose of preventing crimes from taking place.

Quite the promising trailer we have here, isn’t it. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, Tom Cruise’s rather good film Minority Report (2002) came to mind as this preview played. Fingers crossed it’s great.

THAT AWKWARD MOMENT (2014): The Good Things

November 9, 2014 Giadreams (themoviemylife.com) 1 Comment

That Awkward Moment (2014), Zac efron, Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller — That Awkward Moment (2014), Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller

The following are three of the best things about Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan and Myles Teller’s That Awkward Moment (2014). A comedy/romance about twenty-something friends living and dating in New York.

Directed by Tom Gormican; That Awkward Moment definitely isn’t a perfect movie – for reasons including, ironically, awkwardness. But these snippets of dialogue are indeed memorable. I’ve even found myself quoting one or two of them to friends.

1) ‘New York’s charm is that you’re surrounded by things you can’t have’. ‘New York’s charm is it makes you think you can have them’. Having been there myself and experienced the energy, I can confirm that both statements are true.

2) ‘Jason. You weren’t there for me. On a day when I really, really needed you. And being there for someone when they need you, that’s all relationships are, Jason. That’s all they are.’ Delivered whilst perfectly composed and with all pauses mid-sentence only working to make the statement more impactful in the moment – regardless of how simple the idea and words may be.

3) ‘Guys, in High School, I was voted as most likely to have the best eyes’ This one’s my my favourite! The line makes me giggle because I didn’t see the silliness coming.

Watch That Awkward Moment if you’re curious. I mean, how could one not be after the above snippets?

SIX DANCE LESSONS IN SIX WEEKS (2014): Guaranteed Fun. I Can Tell

Six Dance lessons In Six Weeks (2014), Gena Rowlands, Cheyenne Jackson

Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks looks like the kind of light and fun Sunday film experience I’ll want any day now.

A trailer filled with comedy, music, dancing, Cheyenne Jackson and the likeable Gena Rowlands, a.k.a. the older version of Allie from The Notebook (2004), I know I’ll be watching with high hopes.

It certainly helps that the film is based on a successful play.
