Let It Snow is a comedy/romance starring Kiernan Shipka, Shameik Moore, Odeya Rush and Isabela Moner.

Directed by  Luke Snellin, at the centre of the story is a group of young people in a small town on Christmas Eve who are brought together by a snowstorm.

The involvement of Moore and Shipka are the reasons I’m most interested. This film’s premise also kind of reminds me of Valentines Day (2010) and New Years Eve (2011). Except of course that the characters are much younger.

Mitchell Hope, Miles Robbins, Mason Gooding, Liv Hewson, Anna Akana, Victor Rivers, Matthew Noszka, Joan Cusack, Genevieve DeGraves and Andrea de Oliveira also star.

Let It Snow Release Dates: November 8th, 2019 (US)…

Happy Film Loving.

DUMPLIN’ (2018): The Thing I Liked…

Starring Jennifer Aniston, Danielle McDonald and Odeya Rush, I had some fun Watching Dumplin’, the comedy/drama about Willowdean, a.k.a  Dumplin,’ the plus-size teenage daughter of a former beauty queen.

Directed by Anne Fletcher, the story really gets underway when, to the surprise of many in their small Texas town, Willowdean starts a revolution by signing up for her mom’s Miss Teen Bluebonnet pageant. 

I wanted to watch Dumplin‘ because of Aniston and the promise of some humour. There is a little humour involved, and the messaging about inclusion, representation and love of self is adequately executed. I also enjoyed witnessing the positive evolution of a strained mother/daughter relationship, plus a teenage girl finding her confidence. 

Though everyone did well in their roles, a part of me does wish that Dumplin’ had been a tad more amusing and fun. A similar movie that I had more fun watching is Don’t Talk To Irene (2017), which I recommend.

Dolly Parton’s music features quite a lot in Dumplin’, and she’s often mentioned. As such, if you’re a fan, you know what to do.

Another reason to watch Dumplin’ is to see Aniston have fun in her role as a small town Texas woman. The idea alone just makes me smile.

Happy film Loving,

In new crime/thriller Spinning Man, a young woman is found murdered and the prime suspect is a ‘happily married’ professor with a reputation.

Directed by Simon Kaijser, the key characters are played by Guy Pearce, Odeya Rush, Minnie Driver and Pierce Brosnan.

Pearce always plays interesting characters; that’s the reason I’ll be watching this hopefully satisfying thriller.

In new comedy Dear Dictator, political turmoil forces a British-Caribbean dictator to flee his island nation and seek refuge with a rebellious teenage girl in suburban America. He in turn helps her to start a revolution and overthrow the “mean girls” in her high school.

Dear Dictator is written/directed by Lisa Addario and Joe Syracuse, while Michael Caine, Katie Holmes and Odeya Rush star.

I’m mostly curious because of Michael Caine. Nevertheless, something about this trailer tells me I may end up quitting before the end. The little hopeful part of me would love to be proved wrong, as always.

Jason Biggs and Seth green also star.

Dear Dictator Release Dates: March 16th, 2018 (US)…
