Read my spoiler-free movie review of Sing (2016).

Taron Egerton, Scarlett Johansson and Matthew McConaughey have a new movie from the team that brought us the Minions (2015). It’s called Sing , and the characters are cute singing/dancing animals.

Everybody loves a story where the underdog triumphs in the face of great doubt – and so comes the film of Eddie (‘The Eagle’) Edwards; Great Britain’s first Olympic Ski Jumper.

Starring Christopher Walken, Taron Egerton, Hugh Jackman and Jim Broadbent, I’m looking forward to this one because the message is one we can all use from time to time.

I’m also excited about the comedy – and I’m certainly not just referring to Taron Egerton’s facial hair.

Eddie The Eagle is directed by Dexter Fletcher. If you didn’t already know, he played the rather memorable ‘Soap’ (the Chef) in one of my favourite – if not my absolute favourite British film, Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels (1998).

Release Date (s): February 26th, 2016 (US), April 1st, 2016 (UK)…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Legend (2015).

Tom Hardy’s Legend has a great new trailer. This third version is so well put together that you’re not going to be happy when it’s over. Sounds like an odd thing to say, until you realise that it’s only July and the release date is in two to three months time.

Impatiently goes our wait to witness the extraordinary transformation of Mr. Hardy, great British humour and that good, good music.

Happy Film Loving,

KINGSMAN – THE SECRET SERVICE (2014): Everything I Wanted To See

‘What a very pleasant surprise!’

The above is my thoughts and feelings during and after watching action/adventure/comedy, Kingsman – The Secret Service.

Of course, I should have had way more faith – if only because the film is directed by Matthew Vaughn, part of the great team that brought us Snatch (2000) and Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels (1998).

Starring Colin Firth, Sofia Boutella, Samuel L Jackson, Mark Strong, Michael Caine and Taron Egerton; Kingsman – The Secret Service or Kingsman for short is a great movie.

A story of adventure, fun characters, action, well-choreographed fight sequences and some good old British gentlemanly charm.

Kingsman is also very stylish and I definitely don’t just mean the suits. There are one or two things that you’ll see coming, story-wise but even more so, the spectacle will surprise you and exceed your expectations.

All that remains for me is to patiently wait for the next instalment.

Hurry and see it, if you haven’t already. Hurry!

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Legend (2015).

For all serious Tom Hardy fans, a promising cinematic feast is coming.

Legend, the Brian Helgeland-directed film has Hardy playing two characters. Namely Ronald and Reginald Kray, a.k.a. The Kray Twins – identical twin gangsters known for terrorising London in the 1950s and 1960s.

In a few months, the feast is coming. But first, an appetiser.
