November & December TBW

Hello there!

Now we are inaugurating a new section: The TBW. The films and series To-Be-Watched in the following November and December. I can't promise I'll watch all of them but they are my goal in this two months, and then I probably will post the reviews. 

Moonrise Kingdom

Set on an island off the coast of New England in the 1960s, as a young boy and girl fall in love they are moved to run away together. Various factions of the town mobilize to search for them and the town is turned upside down -- which might not be such a bad thing. (Source: FilmAffinity). 

[Drama, Wes Anderson, 2012]. 

Another film by the genius Wes Anderson. I am very excited for what he is going to show us in this film and if it is as good as people say.








The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn. 

When Tintin purchases a scale model of a ship called the Unicorn from a market, he makes an enemy of the mysterious Ivanovich Sakharine, who is desperate for the model himself. The young journalist's inquisitive nature son lands him in the middle of a race against time to discover the secret behind the Unicorn. Helped by the booze-swigging Captain Haddock and his helpful dog Snowy, can they beat Sakharine to the secret, or will the sinister villain solve the mystery first? (Source: FilmAffinity). 

[Animation/Adventure, Steven Spielberg, 2011].  


A film about Tintin. With Steven Spielberg as Director. And Peter Jackson, it is said in the cover. With Steven Moffat as Screenwriter. My question is, why I haven't watched this yet?


 
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (AKA Warriors of the Wind)

 

Centuries after war has devastated the earth, Princess Nausicaa leads the people of the Valley of the Wind. Feuding clans fight with planes and tanks as well as swords in a world that is both primitive and futuristic. In addition to her people's conflicts with other factions, Nausicaa must also contend with the insects of the jungle including the Ohmu, a race of giant, intelligent bugs that poisons the surrounding atmosphere - and is spreading rapidly.

[Animation/Adventure/Fantasy/Sci-Fi, Hayao Miyazaki, 1984].

There are so much Studio Ghibli's films I haven't seen yet. And Miyazaki's. This is one of the oldest ones, when the Studio was only starting. I'm curious, I think I'm gonna like it, but we'll see.



Seven 

Gluttony, greed, sloth, envy, wrath, pride, and lust--these are the seven deadly sins that are being punished with unimaginable cruelty and calculation by an enigmatic killer in David Finchers bleak thriller SEVEN. Set in a perpetually gloomy unnamed city, the film follows Somerset (Morgan Freeman), a retiring police detective, as he experiences his final week on the job, reluctantly working with assertive newcomer Mills (Brad Pitt). When an obese man is found brutally murdered in his home, the seasoned Somerset realizes this is no ordinary killing--someone tortured him because of his appetite. Slayings that reflect the sins of greed and sloth soon follow, leading Somerset and Mills on a desperate search to find the mysterious John Doe, who is responsible for these methodical murders. As the case builds to a startling conclusion, both Somerset and Mills become more involved than they ever could have imagined. (Source: FilmAffinity). 

[Thriller, Mistery, Crime. David Fincher, 1995]. 

A friend recommended this film to me, so I'll see this film soon when I have time to have an opinion about it. Meanwhile, it looks interesting. 

Ruby Sparks

Calvin Weir-Fields (Paul Dano) is a novelist struggling with writer's block finds romance in a most unusual way: by creating a female character named Ruby Sparks (Zoe Kazan) he thinks will love him, then willing her into existence. (Source: Filmaffinity). 

[Romantic Comedy/Drama/Fantastic/Literature, Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris, 2012]. 

THIS film. It is like the dream of every writer becoming true, to make real you own character, or anybody else's character you like. I have the feeling that it will be a delicious and unforgetful story, I am so looking forward to watching it.  

Series

I need to catch up all the episodes of the latest season of these series, especially Doctor Who.



Well, that's all for now. Have you seen this films or series? What opinion of them do you have? Tell me in the commentaries!

Best wishes,
Cat.
