Wishing all my readers a relaxing and fun Easter Break.
After Easter we have a major announcement to make in relation to something that I believe will be a major turning point. If you want to learn from the very best in the Australian Film Industry, keep you eyes peeled for my next post. I will leave you in suspense till then.
As it is Easter, I would like to mention some of my favourite films that I have seen at the cinema this year. These films should be available online or at your local DVD shop soon. If you have time over Easter check them out. I think you will really enjoy all three of these films. Of the 14 that I have seen in the cinema this year these three films were the most enjoyable.
Tower Heist (Action Comedy)
For plain entertainment value, I really enjoyed this film. Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy lead an all-star cast in Tower Heist, a comedy caper about working stiffs who seek revenge on the Wall Street swindler who stiffed them. After the workers at a luxury Central Park condominium discover the penthouse billionaire has stolen their retirement, they plot the ultimate revenge: a heist to reclaim what he took from them.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Thriller)
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first film in Columbia Pictures’ three-picture adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s literary blockbuster The Millennium Trilogy. I have seen the Sweedish version of this film and I much preferred this years updated American Version. The Film is slow to start but once it gets going, the intriging plot takes you into the most surprising twists. Directed by David Fincher and starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, the film is based on the first novel in the trilogy, which altogether have sold 50 million copies in 46 countries and become a worldwide phenomenon.
The Descendants (Drama)
I really liked this heart warming drama. From Alexander Payne, the creator of the Oscar-winning Sideways, set in Hawaii, The Descendants is a sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic journey for Matt King (George Clooney) an indifferent husband and father of two girls, who is forced to re-examine his past and embrace his future when his wife suffers a boating accident off of Waikiki. The event leads to a rapprochement with his young daughters while Matt wrestles with a decision to sell the family’s land handed down from Hawaiian royalty. Very moving and engaging.
