'ATTRACTION' SF TRAILER
And a stunning trailer for you coming from Russian 2017 sf movie ATTRACTION or Притяжение! Directed by Russian moviemaker Fedor Bondarchuk, it depicts the first arrival of alien ships onto planet Earth straight over Moscow ... and it seems they're not coming in a friendly manner at all judging from the mindblowing trailer below!
What an amazing cast for "Murder on the Orient Express!"
ReplyDeleteyes, especially now that Ebilina Jolie is out of the movie :)
DeleteMurder on the Orient Express definitely piques my interest but really everything here today looks good.
ReplyDeletetwas a good offer today!
DeleteMurder sounds excellent! I just watched The Exotic Marigold Hotel with the lovely Dench just yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI watched the second one recently and it was a tad bit too long, thought it would never end :)))
DeleteBut, was it good? I'll put it on my ipad and keep in on in the background as I am doing the household chores, so if it takes too long that's alright.
Deleteit was nice, but it really does not need to last two hours or more... it did have lovely Indian choreographies and mob dances :) which I kinda liked, and Judi and Maggie are always nice, but I did feel asleep a few times especially during Richard Gere scenes :)
DeleteOh, I adore Judi Dench!
ReplyDelete-Kati
we bow to her!
DeleteMurder on the orient express is one of my fave from Agatha Christie. I have a complete set of her books. Hmmm..I was wondering where I keep them all :). And having Judi Dench and Johnny Depp will be awesome..
ReplyDeleteshould be a really nice movie especially with Branagh
