Read my spoiler-free movie review of Hidden Figures (2017.

Starring Taraji P Henson, Janelle Monae and Octavia Spencer, Hidden Figures tells the true story of 3 African American women whose mathematical abilities and contributions led to NASA’s first successful space missions.

Firstly, I just love it when people achieve far more than other’s expectations of them.

Second, Henson and Spencer are undoubtedly wonderful actors. As such, I’m looking forward to experiencing the inspiring story of mathematician Katherine Johnson (Henson) on the big screen. Something tells me I’ll be very moved.

Jim Parsons, Kevin Costner and Kirsten Dunst also star, while Theodore Melfi directs.

Hidden Figures Release Dates: January 13th, 2017 (US); February 24th, 2017 (UK)…

Happy Film Loving,

Billy Bob Thornton, Kathy Bates and Tony Cox are back for Bad Santa 2, a sequel to the 2003 original that featured a whiskey swilling conman and his angry little sidekick.

I haven’t watched the first Bad Santa movie because the trailer didn’t convince me to do so. Also, I have a general fear that this sequel too will be disappointing. Partly because sequels usually are.

However, I’ve decided to commit to watching the original, which will hopefully mean that I can look forward to well-executed,  profanity-filled lines from the very worst,  possible Santa Claus to ever do it.

Has Bad Santa piqued your interest?

Bad Santa 2 Release Dates: November 23rd, 2016 (US); November 23rd, 2016 (UK)…

I haven’t watched a single film in The Divergent Series. It’s likely that I won’t any time soon but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy the execution of their latest trailer for Allegiant, the last instalment.

The music (a remix of ‘Tris’ by Ellie Golding) combined with the minimal dialogue and imagery is quite the audio visual experience.

Will you be watching Allegiant?
