Judi Dench (who played the role of M in the latest James Bond movies) team up with Steve Coogan for Philomena, an upcoming drama movie directed by Stephen Frears:

PHILOMENAPlot:
“A woman (Judi Dench) searches for her adult son, who taken away from her decades ago when she was forced to live in a convent.
Then she meets Martin Sixsmith, a world-weary journalist as cynical as Philomena is trusting. Together they set off for America on a journey that will not only reveal the extraordinary story of Philomena’s son, but also the powerful bond that grows up between Philomena and Martin – a surprising relationship that is both profoundly moving and very funny.”

Hard to recognize Judi Dench! Do you think James Bond would recognize his boss M?

The film is based on the novel “The Lost Child of Philomena Lee” by British Author Martin Sixsmith. It will hit UK theaters on November 1, 2013.

Plot:
“Maleficent is the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the 1959 classic Sleeping Beauty. A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land’s fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal —an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king’s successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom—and perhaps to Maleficent’s true happiness as well.”

HOW I LIVE NOWPlot
“An American girl (Saoirse Ronan) on holiday in the English countryside with her family finds herself in hiding and fighting for her survival as war breaks out.”

Britain got nuclear weapons, probably enough to transform a continent in smoldering ruins. No country would be foolish enough to dare invade the UK…

Anyway, How Live Now does look like an interesting movie, and it’s starring Saoirse Ronan, so I can but give it a try!

The film is based on the 2004 novel of same name written by Meg Rosoff. It will hit UK theaters on October 4, 2013.

THE MONUMENTS MEN

8 unlikely heroes will save History!

Based on true story.

Plot:
“Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action-thriller focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys – seven museum directors, curators, and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 – possibly hope to succeed? But as the Monuments Men, as they were called, found themselves in a race against time to avoid the destruction of 1000 years of culture, they would risk their lives to protect and defend mankind’s greatest achievements.”

An inspiring movie about a team of funny chaps ready to risk their life for the better good of mankind: you can sign me up for The Monuments Men! And last but not least, one cannot resist George Clooney’s narration!

Thanks to Sony Pictures, here’s the latest movie trailer of Captain Phillips, the upcoming action drama movie starring Tom Hanks that relates the true story of Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the US-flagged MV Maersk Alabama:

Captain Phillips Official Trailer

CAPTAIN PHILLIPSPlot:
“Captain Phillips is director Paul Greengrass’s multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. It is simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization. The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama’s commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks), and his Somali counterpart, Muse (Barkhad Abdi). Set on an incontrovertible collision course off the coast of Somalia, both men will find themselves paying the human toll for economic forces outside of their control.”

Those Somali pirates tried to hijack the wrong boat! Captain Phillips is no stupid weakling he will outmaneuver those illiterate shortsighted pirates!

As their romance quickly blossoms, Eva befriends Marianne (Catherine Keener), her new massage client. Marianne is a beautiful poet who seems ‘almost perfect’ except for one prominent quality: she rags on her ex-husband way too much.
