Star Treatment
December 1, 2015
Since its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival the Hank Williams biopic, I Saw The Light, has not been talked about. Pushed from its original award season release, Sony Pictures Classic has finally given us a trailer. Starring Englishman (AKA Loki) Tom Hiddleston as arguably the grandfather of country music as it is known today, the film looks the typical musical biopic of a talent with demons. I’ve been waiting for this one, but it looks like all the rest. However, we could be surprised as with an R rating who knows?

A New Malick Moment
November 25, 2015
Terrence Malick returns with a new film about the disillusionment of Hollywood starring an American accented Christian Bale. Like a Bret Easton Ellis novel, Bale falls through this trailer setting up a story that could be something different for this reclusive director of Tree of Life and others.

A Room of One’s Own

I have delved back into reading a large stack of adaptations that are coming our way. I started with The Martian moved onto Brooklyn and am now reading Room. Written from the perspective of a five year old living in a solidarity room with his mum, the new film has already gotten acclaim from the Toronto film festival. Starring Brie Larson, a tremendous young actress, I am eager to see how Emma Donoghue adapts her own work. The film will be released in October in the US, but won’t make it to the UK until January.

Where The Money Is
September 22, 2015
Just announced as the closing film of AFI Fest 2015, The Big Short is an adaptation of the Michael Lewis novel. Lewis also penned the novels of The Blind Side and Moneyball, both films which made money and received critical attention. The film stars Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, and Brad Pitt among a slew of other names. Following the bank crash in the US a few years ago, the film will be released at the end of the year. Will it be a contender?
