Gangster Squad
Ruben Fleischer, director of Zombieland and 30 Minutes Or Less,
moves away from his comedy roots and into the dark world of 1940's and 50's.
Gangster Squad tells the tale of LAPD Detectives attempting to keep Los Angeles
free of gangsters. Starring Ryan Gosling, Josh Brolin, Emma Stone, Nick Nolte,
and Sean Penn, this looks sure to be a must see.
Django Unchained
Tarantino blasts back onto the big screen after a three year absence, and by all accounts his latest release appears to have been worth the
wait. Jamie Foxx stars as a slave-turned-bounty hunter who sets out to save his
wife, under the guidance of his mentor Christoph Waltz. With a supporting cast
of Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, and, unsurprisingly, Samuel L Jackson
this is one that should have everybody counting down the days until its release.
There's even room for Jonah Hill in there.
Lincoln
I personally am always interested in American history, so
when I heard that there was a film about Abraham Lincoln in which he didn't
kill Vampires, I was quite interested. Add Steven Spielberg directing, Daniel
Day Lewis starring, along with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tommy Lee Jones
supporting. Well, now you really have my attention. If you like your history
paired with some superb acting, this is probably one to keep an eye on.
Les Miserables
Musicals have never really tickled my pickle, The Producers
and War of the Worlds being probably the only exception. I wouldn't say I
dislike them, they just don't interest me. Nor do the French particularly.
However, Les Miserables is a classic, and a classic for a reason. The story
revolves around central character Jean Valjean, who is being hunted by a
ruthless policeman named Javert, agreeing to care for a little girl, Cosette.
An all-star cast including Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Helena
Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Amanda Seyfried, along with Oscar winning
director Tom Hooper mean that you can expect a lot from this film. Probably not
everyone's cup of tea, but will no doubt be loved by many.
