“After the Wedding” Trailer, Clip & Poster

drama, ,

Co-written and directed by Bart Freundlich, After the Wedding follows the manager, Isabel, played by Michelle Wiliams, of an orphanage in Kolkata, who travels to New York to meet a benefactor, Theresa, played by Julianne Moore. Freundlich co-wrote the screenplay with Susanne Bier and Anders Thomas Jensen.

Freundlich and Moore are a real-life married couple with two children. They are working together on this film about a marriage that is about to implode.

Watching the trailer, Theresa’s husband has a past with Isabel, and it didn’t end on friendly terms. There is a young boy from the orphanage who is somehow involved in this triangle.

The next clip is intense, and the acting is superb with ingenious casting.

I am not quite sure where this movie is going. Watching the movie clips, we can see that Theresa and her husband appear to be happy together with their daughter getting married.

Something happened in the past between her husband and Isabel.

Some guys can be real jerks.

With Alien: Covenant, a new chapter in his groundbreaking Alien franchise, Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created.

The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise and a dark, dangerous world. They must attempt a harrowing escape when they uncover a threat beyond their imagination.

This movie roars. Yikes!

The movie blends creature horror with a larger, more unsettling story about creation and identity. It’s a philosophical journey about what happens when creators lose control of their creations. Reviews point to Michael Fassbender’s David as the film’s bewitching element. David shifts the storyline from a standard survival mode into a strange, intellectual showdown between synthetic beings and their makers.

Plus, the dark visual perspective and bursts of violence create an edgy, memorable atmosphere despite the uneven plot.

I watched a nice, long clip titled “The Last Supper.” I was surprised to see James Franco. He is the captain, too. There are some other familiar faces. Check out the movie.
