A Little Step into My Head

Yesterday afternoon, I walked into my local theatre to watch 'Saving Mr. Banks'. I didn't exactly know what to expect because I had heard some clashing reviews on the subject. I did have high hopes which I expressed in my previous post . I left the theatre about as pleased as I can possibly be with a movie watching experience! I absolutely adore this film! 'Saving Mr. Banks', as you probably know, is the story of how Walt Disney and his team managed to create the beloved 'Mary Poppins' film. A major part of this conquest was convincing the author to sign over the rights to the story! Throughout the movie you watch flashbacks to the authors childhood where the real life inspiration of 'Mary Poppins' takes place. Let me tell you, it is an engrossing and totally immersive situation! Part of what makes this movie so fantastic is the perfect casting. I loved every single character. I'm not even exaggerating. Paul Giamatti was a true delight ev...

It's that kind of day again! 'Captain Phillips' has been released, I have rushed out to see it at the very first showing, and now I have plenty to say about it! You may remember that I guessed that it would be pretty great when I blogged about the trailer.  Well, I wasn't disappointed, let me put it that way! 'Captain Phillips', as you may already know, is a movie about the real life events that happened a few years back when the Somali Pirates attacked and captured an American freighter. You might remember the story being pasted all over the news. If you followed the story, you probably already know how it ends. That doesn't matter at all. This movie is gripping, chilling, and in some strange way, beautiful. I grew attached to so many character very quickly! Every single scene has you holding your breath, fully involved in what is happening on screen. Truly, when the scene of the pirates boarding the ship came on screen, it was the quietest I've ever ...

All right people, it's trailer time! Today we have the story of Walt Disney creating 'Mary Poppins'. Here's the trailer. Just try and tell me that doesn't looks good! I'm so excited! It looks incredibly interesting, well acted, beautifully done, and just plain great! I absolutely love the idea of Tom Hanks playing Disney, he'll do a fantastic job. It looks whimsical and witty and I think it will capture that glorious spirit we all know Walt Disney had. The story itself is so intriguing! How did 'Mary Poppins' come to be? I don't know about you, but I want to find out. Honestly, I have very little to say besides that it looks extremely promising! UPDATE: I have Since seen this movie and written a review,  here.

Hello, all! I have found another promising movie to keep on your radar! Today, we are talking about 'Captain Phillips'. Probably, you remember that dramatic incident a few years back, in 2009, with the Somali Pirates. All that business with the hostages and the U.S. Navy was pretty well covered by the news when it happened. Well, if you missed it, there is going to be a movie about it! What we have here is the true story of a modern day pirate attack on a U.S. vessel. Starring Tom Hanks. To me, that sounds like a recipe for gold! Let's have a look at the trailer. Looks like we have a well made, intense, action/drama coming our way! I'll be back with more movie news soon. Bye, for now. UPDATE: I have since seen this movie and  written a review.
