There are a series of interesting movies out this month and here are the ones I want to go and see! There is also a list of books-turned-movies released in March so watch out for that too.
Released on March 2nd...
Hunky Dory sounds interesting, although it had mixed reviews from other bloggers and I do have High School Musical flashbacks. But then again, High School Musical would never have a snogging (making out) scene.
"In the heat of the summer of 1976, keen drama teacher Vivienne fights sweltering heat and general teenage apathy to put on an end of year music version of Shakespeare's The Tempest. To engage her students, she uses hits of the time, which will be performed by a fresh young cast led by rising star Aneurin Barnard." (IMDb)
London Paris New York - A romantic comedy, this film has everything I would want to watch. However, it's not only screening in limited to key cities, but it's also in Hindi and, as far as I can tell, there are no subtitles. Or at least, that information is not made clear in any of the cinemas I checked.
"Nikhil and Lalitha are two completely different individuals who are drawn to each other in spite of their differences -- or perhaps because of it. Follow their journey as they meet in London, Paris and New York for a night in each city." (IMDb)
This Means War is just hilarious! And if you don't like romantic comedies... Well... Ladies, watch it just because Tom Hardy is in it. Those lips and the tattoos? It's aaaallll worth it. ^_^
"Two top CIA operatives wage an epic battle against one another after they discover they are dating the same woman." (IMDb)
Releasing March 9th...
A Man's Story is a must for any fashion lover, especially blokes who love a good suits or anyone into tailoring. It tells the story of British fashion design and king of tailoring Ozwald Boateng. Absolutely fascinating, especially since he had to overcome many adversities to get where he is today. It's only available in key cities, though, so check before heading for the cinema.
Flying the British Film flag is Hard Boiled Sweets. A must for any gangster or crime film lover. Like anything of that genre, expect nudity, swearing, drugs, the lot. So this is a Certificate 15. It's on a very limited release schedule, only screening in London and Basildon at the moment.
Releasing March 12th...
Super sweet and cool Indie movie Booked Out just makes me want to go and watch it now! It premiered at the Prince Charles Cinema, London, yesterday and it will screen in limited locations from March 12th. The nearest screening to Lancashire is in Sheffield on March 17th. For more information on other locations click here.
"Booked Out follows the quirky exploits of the Polaroid loving artist Ailidh as she spies and photographs the occupants of her block of flats. Jacob, the boy next door who comes and goes quicker than Ailidh can take pictures. Jacqueline, the mysterious girl that Jacob is visiting and the slightly crazy Mrs Nicholls who Ailidh helps cope with her husband's continuing existence after his death. As Ailidh gets closer to winning Jacobs affection the world that they all live in will be changed forever." (IMDb)
Releasing March 23rd...
Another one for action lovers is Act of Valour. A film based on the activities of US Navy Seals.
"An unprecedented blend of real-life heroism and original filmmaking, Act of Valour stars a group of active-duty Navy SEALs in a powerful story of contemporary global anti-terrorism. Inspired by true events, the film combines stunning combat sequences, up-to-the minute battlefield technology and heart-pumping emotion for the ultimate action adventure." (IMDb)
You name it: action, comedy and romance... There is something for everyone.
Yes! I'm itching to go to see This Means War with Mr. Whimsy.
