Directed by Luca Guadagnino, A Bigger Splash is a new mystery/crime/drama starring Matthias Schoenaertz, Tilda Swinton, Dakota Johnson and Ralph Fiennes.

I rather like the vibe of the trailer but not just because it seems to be set in sunny Italy. 

The music, editing and the little we know about the characters, plus the tensions so far also have me mighty curious.

At this stage, it’s probably a safe bet that for the characters of A Bigger Splash, things are unlikely to end well. Additionally, Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) randomly came to mind I need to re-watch that movie.

A Bigger Splash Release Date(s): February 12, 2016 (UK);  May 13th 2016 (US)…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of  Hail! Caesar! (2016).

Hail! Caicar! It’s a comedy/drama/musical and it’s from the Coen brothers.

Trailer 1

Trailer 2

I’m really hoping that Hail Caesar! is great. Especially since musicals aren’t my thing.

Set during the 1950s, the very promising cast  includes Scarlett Johansson, Josh Brolin, Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, George Clooney, Ralph Fiennes and Tilda Swinton.

Hail Caesar! Release Date (s): February 5th 2016 (US), February 26th 2016 (UK), February 17th (France), February 18th (Germany)

At last, the full Spectre trailer lands and it’s perfectly thrilling.

Perhaps it’s a generational thing, but Daniel Craig is without a doubt  my favourite Bond, likely forever.

Never has October felt so far away.

Written/directed by Wes Anderson, The Grand Budapest Hotel is a dramatic comedy/adventure that stars Ralph Fiennes, Adrien Brody, Mathieu Amalric, Jude Law, Edward Norton and two great young actors by the name of Tony Revolori and Saoirse Ronan.

Anderson’s film is a wonderful feast of good and humorous storytelling that features rich, colourful cinematography and great dialogue.

Every line that comes out of the mouth of Monsieur Gustave – who is excellently played by Ralph Fiennes is delivered with such expert comic timing, that upon second viewing I could barely look at anyone else. The same can be said for every move made by M. Gustave.

Oddly enough, the first couple of times I tried to watch The Grand Budapest Hotel, I stopped within ten minutes of starting. I just couldn’t get into the swing of it at first.

Having now seen the film more than once, please don’t let the initial slow-ish pace at the beginning dissuade you, for things get most interesting as soon as Monsieur Gustave is introduced, ten minutes in. That’s when the adventure truly begins. Watch it, see and enjoy.

Happy Film Loving,
