ReplyDeletemost ladies are :)
DeleteI love movies like these -- driven by character and plot, not just CGI. Altho I like certain CGI movies too, don't get me wrong. It's just that they get a little tiresome in a steady diet.
ReplyDeletelots of nice small movies coming out this and next month... Autumn is usually the time for those.... UNCONDITIONALLY and BURNING MAN are the two small films I've watched recently and loved both,especially the first one....
DeleteLots of good ones here today. I am still looking forward to Pride. The Song looks like one that I will definitely enjoy too!
ReplyDeletePRIDE will be a huge hit in my realm too! Love the poster for THE SONG
DeleteThe Fields of lost shoes is a movy of a period I'm always interested in! So this one goes on my "to watch" list!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
It should be a really epic one!
DeletePRIDE looks like it will be a hoot. ;-)
ReplyDeleteany movie will Imelda and Nighy is an absolute hoo hoot :)
DeleteWriting a love song that ruins a marriage? Irony
ReplyDeleteyep, it is an intriguing twist!
DeleteI love, love, love, love, Maggie.
ReplyDeleteshe is always nice. Don't miss her in THE QUARTET
DeleteA veritable smorgasbord today, Dezzy! They all sound good :)
ReplyDeletethere weren't any news today, so I had to improvise :)
DeleteMusicals never do well. I don't know why they never quite figure that out! As for The Field of Lost Shoes, it doesn't look quite as girly as I would have thought a film about lost shoes would be!
ReplyDeletebut people still love musicals....
DeleteYep, no lost stilettos in the first one...
My Old Lady sounds kinda nice :)
ReplyDeleteit sure does
DeleteLots of good movies coming up.
ReplyDeleteHave a good one, Dez.

DeleteThese look great. I'm most interested in Pride, My Old Lady (I love Paris settings), and The Two Faces of January.
ReplyDeletePRIDE and MY OLD LADY are a must see for me too
DeleteWell I shall be definitely be looking at MyOld Lady - love a bit of Maggie smith, I do. And bill Nighy is always worth an hour or two of anyones time so, Pride as well. Thanks mucker!
ReplyDeleteI adore both Bill Nighy and Imelda Staunton, and Maggie is always brilliant too.
DeletePS I think your site still erases my comments when I publish them there...
A lot of good things all coming out at once.
ReplyDeleteThat Autumn for you :)
