Downton Abbey, that gargantuan hit of a television drama about the lives of a British aristocratic family and their servants in the early twentieth century, has a final chapter.

Directed by Simon Curtis, Downton Abbey – The Grand Finale catches up with the Crawley family and their servants as they enter the 1930s.

I quit watching this show a long time ago, mainly because of that thing called patience, of which I tend to have little. The matter of marrying off a certain Lady simply took too long to reach its conclusion, so I moved on.

Now, however, I find myself somewhat intrigued by the general sumptuousness of the costumes/mise en scene in this trailer. Time will tell if I tune in upon release.

What is your experience of Downton Abbey, if any? Is this final instalment calling to you?

Phyllis Logan, Penelope Wilton, Elizabeth McGovern, Alessandro Nivola, Raquel Cassidy, Allen Leech, Brendan Coyle, Laura Carmichael, Robert James-Collier and Sophie McShera also star.

Downton Abbey – The Grand Finale Release Dates: September 12th, 2025 (US & UK)…

From writer/director Tamara Jenkins, Private Life is a new drama about a woman whose relationship with her husband is put on edge, as she goes through multiple fertility treatments to get pregnant.

Kathryn Hahn, Paul Giamatti, Molly Shannon and Siobhan Fallon Hogan star.

I like the cast, and as a fan of some of Hahn’s comedy work, I’m also looking forward to seeing her do a great job in this dramatic role.

Private Life Release Dates: October 5th, 2018 (US)…

In I Think We’re Alone Now, the apocalypse turns out to be a blessing in disguise for one lucky recluse. That is until a second survivor arrives with the threat of companionship.

Directed by Reed Morano, Elle Fanning, Peter Dinklage, Paul Giamatti and Charlotte Gainsbourg star.

I want to see how well the film works with such a small cast. I’m hoping it’s an adequately engaging story and that the on-screen chemistry is great between Dinklage and Fanning.

The Catcher Was A Spy is the story of a man in the midst of a double life; working both as a major league baseball player and a spy.

Directed by Ben Lewin, the key cast includes Paul Rudd, Connie Nielsen, Mark Strong and Sienna Miller.

I haven’t yet encountered a serious, non-comedic Paul Rudd movie that has me excited enough to see it; so deep is my appreciation of his comedic work.

Unlike Steve Carell and a few other actors known first for comedy, I’m just finding it hard to make the shift from a funny Rudd to a serious Rudd. I think it’ll take a film I simply can’t ignore for me to transition. Will The Catcher Was A Spy be that movie? I’m not sure yet, but I hope so.

Guy Pearce, Connie Nielsen, Jeff Daniels, Hiroyuki Sanada and Shea Whigham also star

The Catcher Was A Spy Release Dates: June 22nd, 2018 (US)…

Starring Kate Mara, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Paul Giamatti and Boyd Holbrook, Morgan is the story of an artificial being whose continued existence is to be decided by a corporate risk-management consultant.

I’m a fan of Alex Garland’s Ex Machina (2015), and as I watched the above trailer, it occurred to me that this movie may just be the closest that Ex Machina fans will ever get to a sequel. Not ideal, of course, but I’ll take it.

Morgan Release Dates: September 2nd, 2016 (US & UK); September 21st, 2016 (FR); November 24th, 2016 (GER)…

Directed by Luke Scott; Michael Yare and Anya Taylor Joy also star.
