Based on the acclaimed, contemporary love story of the same name, The Idea of You follows Solène, played by Anne Hathaway. She’s a 40-year-old single mom who begins an unexpected romance with 24-year-old Hayes Campbell, played by Nicholas Galitzine. He’s the lead singer of August Moon, the hottest boy band on the planet. 

When Solène must step in to chaperone her teenage daughter’s trip to the Coachella Music Festival after her ex bails at the last minute, she has a chance encounter with Hayes. 

There is an instant, noticeable and undeniable spark. As they begin a whirlwind romance, it isn’t long before Hayes’ superstar status poses unavoidable challenges to their relationship. 

Solène soon discovers that life in the glare of his spotlight might be more than she bargained for.

Michael Showalter directs the film, and the rest of the cast includes Ella Rubin, Annie Mumolo, Reid Scott, Perry Mattfeld, Jordan Aaron Hall, Mathilda Gianopoulos, Meg Millidge, Raymond Cham Jr., Jaiden Anthony, Viktor White, and Dakota Adan.

If you read the book and watch these clips, you’ll see that the movie doesn’t follow the book. According to the book, Hayes is 19, and Solène’s daughter is 12 or 13. The movie has them both older.

This clip is blocked in some parts of the world. I suspect it’s because of the music.

Showalter has an impressive list of films he’s directed:

“Dark Waters” Poster, Clips and Trailer

drama, true stories, , , , , , ,

Directed by Todd Haynes, Dark Waters, motivated by a harrowing true story of a determined attorney, played by Mark Ruffalo, uncovers a dark secret that connects a growing number of unexplained deaths due to one of the world’s largest corporations – Dupont. 

In unearthing the corruption, he risks everything—his future, family, and life—to expose the truth. Haynes’s directing credits include Wonderstruck, the Mildred Pierce Mini-series, and Far From Heaven. 

Based on an article by Nathaniel Rich, Matthew Michael Carnahan wrote the first screenplay, which was finalized by Mario Correa.

The rest of the cast is impressive, including Anne Hathaway, Tim Robbins, Bill Camp, Victor Garber, Mare Winningham, William Jackson Harper, and Bill Pullman.

One of the two following clips is decent. The other one doesn’t say much of the story, but we see some excellent acting by Tim Robbins.

This clip crescendos into a massive scene at a public function. Victor Garber holds his own with Mark Ruffalo.

“The Hustle” Trailers, Clips & Poster

comedy,

Directed by Chris Addison, The Hustle is a hilarious movie with two dynamite comedic actresses. The comedy stars Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson as scam artists. Wilson plays a low-life scam artist while Hathaway places a high-class scam artist. They team up to take down the dirty rotten men who have wronged them.

Addison credits include writing and producing tons of episodic television shows like Veep, Dr. Who, and The Thick of It.

The second trailer shows more hilarity to the story. These two women are complete opposites and make situations funny.

The movie clip shows the conflict between the two women. One wants to be taught how to be a high-end con artist while the other doesn’t want to share her secrets.

It looks like the two ladies are a team. They are competing to see who is the first one to swindle $500,000 from a man. The music in this clip is interesting because it seems like it’s there to keep the scene interesting. Seeing Hathaway as an English snob is a new character for her.

“Serenity” Trailers, Movie Clips and Posters

drama, mystery, suspense, thriller, , , , , ,

Written and directed by Steven Knight, Serenity follows Baker Dill, played by Matthew McConaughey, a fishing boat captain. Dill leads tours off a serene, tropical enclave called Plymouth Island.

I watched the movie last night on Prime. It is nothing like what we see in these clips and trailers, and the poster is not true to the story. I recommend this movie because it has a message that lingers with you long after the film ends.

The movies gradually become daringly original, sexy, stylized thriller as Dill’s quiet life is shattered. His former wife Karen, played by Anne Hathaway, tracks him down with a desperate plea for help. She begs Dill to save her – and their young son – from her new, violent husband, played by Jason Clarke, by taking him out to sea on a fishing excursion, only to throw him to the sharks and leave him for dead.

Karen’s appearance thrusts Dill back into a life he’d tried to forget, and as he struggles between right and wrong, his world is plunged into a new reality that may not be all that it seems.

The third trailer shows more of the movie and how it plays out for Dill.

These clips are intense, and this movie will have me on the edge of my chair. Such good acting in these two clips is all I can say right now until I see more. Here, we have two Oscar winners and a strong supporting cast. It is a suspenseful movie, which means it is plot-driven. That is even better. I love a good story.

The story thickens with three more intense and story-driven scenes. The whole time I am watching each scene, I think, “Dill is being taken advantage of.” He is vulnerable and surrounded by unscrupulous people. I am being kind when I say “unscrupulous.” McConaughey plays Dill as if he has no control over everything that happens; he is just being affected by the circumstances.
