The Coming Attractions...

It's that time again!   Here are some highlights of what movies to look out for in the next few months.

To start, I would like to point out a film that has just received the opportunity to open in the United States.  I'm hoping that it is only a matter of time until it will be opening in Canada.  Fireflies in the Garden depicts a family dealing with a recent tragedy and the consequences that come along with that.  It follows their lives, flashing back from childhood to adulthood, showing the constant strained relationship between the children and their father.  It stars Ryan Reynolds, Julia Roberts, Willem Defoe, Carrien-Anne Moss and Emily Watson.  Fireflies in the Garden is set to release in the US on October 14, 2011.  Enjoy the Trailer!

Now, for a film a little more thrilling than dramatic.  Drive follows the life of a Hollywood stunt performer as he gets involved with a heist gone wrong and tries to protect the victims in danger because of it.  Drive stars Ryan Gosling and Cary Mulligan.  It will be released on September 16, 2011.

The next film I'm excited for stars some of my favourite and reliable actors, such as Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anna Kendrick.  50/50 is about a 27 year old man who is diagnosed with cancer and has to rediscover who he is and how to survive the disease.  With the help of Seth Rogen's comedic relief this film promises to be a heart warming eye opener.  50/50 is set to release on September 30, 2011.

And now for some interesting recommendations...

- Coriolanus (a Shakespeare adaptation) starring Ralph Fiennes and Gerard Butler, set to release on December 2, 2011.

- A Dangerous Method starring Michael Fassbender, Viggo Mortensen, and Keira Knightly.  It is about the relationship between Carl Jung (Fassbender) and his mentor Sigmund Freud (Mortensen).  It's set to release on November 23, 2011.

- The Ides of March starring Ryan Gosling and George Clooney.  It is about corruption in the political world.  It's set to release on October 7, 2011

I hope these films live up to their hype!
