From Oscar-winning director Steve McQueen, Blitz is a new historical drama/action film about a group of Londoners during the events of the British capital bombing in World War II.

Saoirse Ronan, Elliott Heffernan, Stephen Graham, Benjamin Clémentine, Harris Dickinson and Kathy Burke are among the key cast.

War films aren’t my go-to. Yet, because of the cinematography, acting talent, the eventual reunion (let’s hope), and, because it’s Steve McQueen, I can’t quite ignore this.

May the reunion be as satisfying as my unquenchable ‘happy-ending thirst’ demands. Who’s with me?

John Mackay, Paul Weller and Erin Kellyman also star.

Blitz Release Dates: November 22nd, 2024 (US &UK)…

Based on Russian Playwright Anton Chekov’s famous play, The Seagull, Saoirse Ronan, Anette Bening, Elisabeth Moss and Corey Stoll star while Michael Mayer directs.

The Seagull tells the story of ageing actress Irina who visits her brother Pjotr and her son Konstantin on a country estate and brings Trigorin, a successful novelist, with her. What follows is the chaos of romantic and artistic conflicts between four characters.

All I knew about The Seagull until now is that it’s a famous play by Anton Chekov, one that many great actors have been delighted about having a part in. Knowing that as I do, I find myself a little underwhelmed after seeing this trailer. I was perhaps expecting greater dramatics. Maybe the finished product will provide what I imagine to be missing.

Billy Howle, Michael Zegen and Jon Tenney also star.

The Seagull Release Dates: May 11th, 2018 (US)…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of On Chesil Beach (2017).

Ian McEwan’s best selling novel On Chesil Beach has been adapted into a movie starring Saoirse Ronan, Emily Watson, Billy Howle and Ann-Marie Duff.

Set in England in 1962, Ronan and Howle play a young couple whose idyllic romance collides with issues of sexual freedom and societal pressure.

I’m in to see how the story deals with gender politics. Such an interesting subject, considering the early ’60s setting.

Side note: I had no idea that red hair looked so good with that particular shade of blue.

Directed by Dominic Cooke; Samuel West,Bernardo Santos, David Olawale Ayinde and Bebe Cave also star.

On Chesil Beach Release Dates: May 18th, 2018 (US), June 15th, 2018 (UK)…
