This movie which opens today, Les Misérables is a musical film based on the ultra-popular Broadway musical of the same name by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg which is in turn based on Les Misérables, the 1862 French novel by Victor Hugo
The film has a cast that includes Anne Hathaway, Russel Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Hugh Jackman who won as Best Actor in the Musical or Comedy category of the recent Golden Globes. This movie also won as Best Picture in the Musical or Comedy category in the Golden Globes.
This film is directed by Tom Hooper, who directed The King's Speech (which won the Academy Awards Best Picture and Best Director, along with 2 other awards).
I personally canot wait to watch this movie (that's coz I had been a big fan of the musical ever since my High School Days), and with all the positive buzz from a great number of trusted movie critics, I am confident that Les Miserables is indeed a must-see for this week.
This movie opened in Iloilo theaters last Friday. This movie is a spy thriller directed and co-produced by Kathryn Bigelow with screenplay by Mark Boal. Billed as "the story of history's greatest manhunt for the world's most dangerous man," the film is a dramatization of American efforts to kill Osama bin Laden. It stars Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Joel Edgerton, Jennifer Ehle, Mark Strong, Kyle Chandler, and Édgar Ramírez.
Aside from my love for spy thrillers, I am so psyched to watch this movie because of the massive critics' praises for the film, which includes it in almost all of the "Best Films of 2012" lists, and in most of these lists, scores as number one.
ZERO DARK THIRTY is nominated for five Academy Awards at the 85th Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actress (Jessica Chastain) and Best Original Screenplay. Zero Dark Thirty also earned four Golden Globe nominations including Best Picture – Drama, Best Director, and Best Actress – Drama for Chastain, which she won.
LIFE OF PIThis movie is on extended run, but I am still wishing to watch it because the 3D version of it seem to just have arrived this week. Life of Pi is a 2012 American adventure drama film based on Yann Martel's 2001 novel of the same name. Directed by Ang Lee, the film is based on an adapted screenplay by David Magee, and stars Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Gérard Depardieu, Tabu, and Adil Hussain.
Aside from its wonderful and spiritually thought-provoking story, the film is rich in ultra beautiful and positively vivid visuals. This is a pure eye candy defined by really beautiful visuals.
ALSO OPENING IN LOCAL THEATERS THIS WEEK are PARENTAL GUIDANCE which is an American family-themed comedy film starring Billy Crystal, Bette Midler, Marisa Tomei and Tom Everett Scott and directed by Andy Fickman. And, A HAUNTED HOUSE which is a comedy horror spoof film directed by Michael Tiddes and starring Marlon Wayans. This movie is immensely panned by critics with very low ratings, and from the trailer itself, you can tell that it's another one of those corny spoof movies.
THIS FRIDAY, THE LAST STAND will open in Iloilo theaters.
The Last Stand is an action drama film written by Andrew Knauer and directed by Kim Ji-woon (Director of I SAW THE DEVIL, A BITTERSWEET LIFE, and THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE WEIRD). The film will be Arnold Schwarzenegger's first leading role since Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in 2003. This will be the first American production for Kim Ji-woon and cinematographer Kim Ji-yong as well as composer Mowg.
