One of the most popular British rom-coms ever celebrates its 21st birthday this year. Yes, it really is that long since we fell for Hugh Grant’s floppy-haired charm and blubbed as John Hannah read Stop All The Clocks in Four Weddings And A Funeral. It struck a chord in the 90s – and this week sees the arrival of the rom-com for the 2010s.
Man Up, released on Friday, certificate 15…
Jake Gyllenhaal fans must be getting used to his changes in appearances by now. After his dramatic weight loss for the horror/thriller Nightcrawler, he’s beefed himself up for boxing drama Southpaw, which arrives in cinemas in late July. Before then, he sports a nerdy haircut for whacky romantic comedy, Accidental Love, opening on 19 June. And this is definitely one for the…
In between premieres and press conferences for her latest film, Tomorrowland: A World Beyond, rising star Raffey Cassidy chatted with London Mums’ film critic, Freda Cooper, about working with George Clooney – and learning to drive!
Her name might not be instantly recognisable – yet – but, for the squillions of fans of TV’s Mr Selfridge, Raffey Cassidy’s face is very familiar. The…
To visualise Disney’s Tomorrowland think Back to the Future meets Star Trek meets War Games. Everyone would certainly agree with executive producer Jeff Jensen who describes new Disney’s live action film Tomorrowland A World Beyond ‘a quintessential Disney movie’. Even before hearing Jensen say that, I very much felt the same about Tomorrowland. What does it mean ‘a…
Everybody loves Audrey Hepburn. Here is why her friends and family loved Auds so much (in their own words).
“Most people think of Audrey as regal..but I saw how hard she worked at that..it was part of her heritage, yes, but circumstances – the war, her missing father – tarnished her crown..that was inevitable, but it was really a good thing..it rounded her personality..despite…
The VE Day celebrations may have taken place over the weekend, but they start all over again on Friday – on the big screen this time – with the release of A Royal Night Out, certificate 12A.
There’s plenty of archive material of the celebrations on 8 May 1945, one of the most famous being the photograph of the Royal Family on the Buckingham Palace balcony: King George VI, Queen…
With the UK General Election taking place today, the forthcoming film SUFFRAGETTE could not be more relevant. After more than 9 million women failed to vote in the 2010 election, there is hope for a greater participation today. We cannot fail to remember that women were not allowed to vote in Great Britain until the 1832 Reform Act and the 1835 Municipal Corporations Act. Both before and after…
Remember Spooks? If so, you’re in good company: some 9 million people tuned in to it during its heyday, so the team behind Spooks: The Greater Good, which is released on Friday, certificate 15, must feel they’re on to a winner.
Some familiar faces from the series are back – most importantly Peter Firth as Harry Pearce – but adapting a TV show for the big screen is notoriously full of…
It takes a brave director to make a film based on a much-loved novel – and an even braver one when the original movie adaptation is still something of a favourite.
The director in question is Thomas Vinterberg and the film is Far From The Madding Crowd, released around the UK this Friday, certificate 12A. It’s based on the Thomas Hardy classic, a regular GCSE and O Level text, and the…
