Hello All!  Head on over to Firstshowing.net to read my review of Woody Allen's latest, a magical trip through nostalgia and the streets of old Pairee.

I give it a 9 out of 10.  But, as I recommend, don't read too many reviews or you will spoil all the fun!

C is for Catch This: Magical "Beginners" Trailer!

I have been so excited about this film since discovering this trailer a few weeks ago.  Beginners stars Ewan McGregor as the son of Christopher Plummer in a "wistful memory piece" as New York Times critic Manohla Dargis writes in her excellent review.  I don't want to say much more about the movie, since I think it is worth watching the trailer and discovering it for yourself.  Beginners is in limited release now and should expand out of NY and LA in the coming weekends.  Make a point to look for it and see the trailer below:

Or on YouTube.

So what do you think?  Doesn't this look pretty whimsical and special?

C is for Catch This: "Sarah's Key" Trailer

I discovered this intriguing trailer for the film Sarah's Key, based on the acclaimed novel of the same name.  It stars Kristen Scott Thomas as an American journalist in France diving into the country's dark World War II past.  Apparently, in 1942 the French police performed the Vel'd'Hiv Roundup, arresting Jews around the country and locking them in inhumane facilities.  Scott Thomas' character Julia is particularly interested in one family, whose daughter hid her younger brother into a secret cupboard to save him.  The film looks incredible to me, so take a look:

So what do you think?  Is this a movie you'd like to see?
