'THE LOFT' CAUSES PARANOIA
IN KARL URBAN, JAMES MARSDEN AND WENTWORTH MILLER
Today I'm reminding you of four films that are coming to cinemas this month, starting with THE LOFT which opens January 23rd with a hunky cast lead by 
Karl Urban, Wentworth Miller and James Marsden in the story of five married guys who conspire to secretly share a penthouse loft in the city, a place where they can carry out hidden affairs and indulge in their deepest fantasies. But the fantasy becomes a nightmare when they discover the dead body of an unknown woman in THE LOFT, and they realize one of the group must be involved. Paranoia seizes them as everyone begins to suspect one another. Friendships are tested, loyalties are questioned and marriages crumble as the group is consumed by fear, suspicion and murder in this relentless thriller. Matthias Schoenaerts and Rhona Mitra also star.

Can I hide until February? Even the happy little magical trailer looks scary!
ReplyDeleteit's always a scary month, they often release horrors in January too as if the usual rise of the prices in the first month of the year and the horror of spending all the money at holidays isn't enough :)
DeleteListened to Leona Lewis' song, "Run". Such a beautiful song, and her voice is like a symphony. Thanks.
Deleteshe is amazing! She left her old label which didn't treat her right and is preparing a new album with a new label.
DeleteHappy New Year :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, The Loft is the remake of a Belgian movie by the same name and the same director. Matthias Schoenaerts stars in it as well. I only saw the original one so far, but I heard they are very much alike.
I know
DeleteHappy New Year, Dezz! I hope 2015 will be an awesome year for you!
ReplyDelete"Black Sea" looks intriguing. I'm quite confident that I've already figured out who the killer is in "The Loft."
Thanks, Debs, wishing the same to you!
DeleteWho, who, who? :) I'm guessing one of their wives....
Yup, me too. Or a conspiracy of all their wives.
Deletethat could be possible too!
DeleteI'll definitely be putting THE LOFT on my list. And it's got the lovely Karl Urban ... need I say more :)
ReplyDeleteAnd although the very talented Jude Law is in BLACK SEA I probably won't watch that one. Don't do films with submarines ... yikes. Gives me the creeps.
TAKING OF THE TIGER MOUNTAIN also looks extraordinary well done, however, I don't particularly enjoy subtitles. Shame.
And STRANGE MAGIC - well, that's right up my alley! Looks an absolute delight :)
Karl is my all time obsession! Boo and hiss on Fox for cancelling ALMOST HUMAN just when I got used to seeing Karl every week :(
DeleteWhat? You don't like subtitles? Well, imagine us outside USA - all of the films and series here are subtitled.
Yes, and I sympathise enormously!
Deleteover in my neighbouring Hungary they synchronise everything with voice overs which is so weird and horrible. I do prefer subtitles
DeleteConsidering The Loft has the hunky (you got it right, Dez!) Wentworth Miller and it is also the name of my favorite clothing store....I will definitely be watching it. Happy new year!! Xo
ReplyDeleteand there are Karl and James in it too! What more could we want?
DeleteThe Flemish version of the Loft was a hit. Hopefully this one to.
ReplyDeletePS: tomorrow on BBC1, new episodes of the Musketeers!
Greetings
Peter
yep, MUSKETEERS return on Friday, and GALAVANT starts on Sunday at ABC :) And WOLF HALL January 21st at BBC2
DeleteReminds me of Jar Jar Binks
ReplyDeleteWho? Jude Law? :)
DeleteCan't say I feel bad for any of those 5 guys in The Loft when their lives come crashing down. Play with fire, you are going to get burned.
ReplyDeletetis true, although, maybe their wives weren't angels either :) Methinks, I'd forgive all three of them if they were cheating on me LOL
DeleteMethinks divorce should be front and center instead of shelling out marital money for a high rise apartment to commit sins against the wife. Don't care how hot they are. They all deserve a little Lorena Bobbitt treatment! ;)
DeletePfft... who says it was marital money :) And what if their wives didn't give them what they needed or were neglecting them or molesting them or whatever... Some people are stuck in unhappy marriages and have the need to vent off somewhere. Not that I'd ever do it...
DeleteThe loft does sound good and who wouldn't want a secret hideaway for shenanigans?
ReplyDeleteWe do love secret shenanigans! And public too!
DeleteHmmmmm sleazy men getting screwed.....makes for some good drama! I'm in! We are trying to remember if we watched Dragon Heart 1 and 2. Being big fantasy and Sci Fi fans, I don't recall this series. May have to seek them out before we watch the third! Happy New Year Dez! I would love to follow your blog by email so I don't miss any posts!
ReplyDeleteYou have the subscribe button in the right sidebar :)
DeleteDRAGONHEART was shot almost twenty years ago, so that is why most people forgot about it :)
THE TAKING OF TIGER MOUNTAIN and strange magic i love this trailers !
ReplyDeleteCheers
isn't it a marvellous trailer?
DeleteHey Dez, I cannot find the email subscribe. I see the net vibes and yahoo but I don't have those accounts. I usually just subscribe by feedburner and it goes to my gmail account. Am I missing something?? I'll keep this post on my browser and check back. Thanks!
DeleteWell, those are the options that Blogger offers in their subscribe gadget.
DeleteYou follow us so our posts should appear in your bloglist when you open your dashboard :)
K! Thanks
DeleteLots of options.
ReplyDeletealways!
DeleteWhat a variety of movies coming out. That's really a different role (that I've seen) for Jude Law.
ReplyDeleteyep, he has taken an action movie direction recently
Delete"Friendships are tested, loyalties are questioned and marriages crumble as the group is consumed by fear, suspicion and murder..." so basically, it's like in real life? Now let's see... the second movie: "greed and desperation..." Oh darn. Movie #3: poor little horse... Damn that tiger! Now I'm really in for something more relaxing and fun. I choose movie #4. Just one question, though: who says everyone deserves to be loved? Lucas...
ReplyDeleteyep, he who thinks Darth Vader should be loved.... and Jar Jar Binx...
