December 19th 2008 02:56
Here is a list of movies coming out on Boxing Day in Australian cinemas. Watch out for them.
Boxing Day 2008:
I've Loved You So Long
French with English subtitles. Starring Kristin Scott Thomas.
This is a drama about two sisters that get reunited after 15 years. It was an enormous critical and box office success in France. Looks good for those wanting a bit of drama. Reviews have said that this movie is very intense and deeply moving.
Bedtime Stories
Starring Adam Sandler.
The trailer was so funny, i can't wait to watch the movie. Adam Sandler plays a hotel handyman who discovers that the bedtime stories he tells his nephew and niece begin to mysteriously come true. He tries to take advantage of it, but the unexpected twists the kids add in begin to turn his life upside down.
Frost/ Nixon
Starring Frank Langella and Michael Sheen.
Based on the interview between Nixon and Frost in 1977. The movie re-creates the on-air interview as well as the controversial weeks surrounding it.
Ghajini
Bollywood production. Hindi with subtitles. Starring Aamir Khan.
Some say this is based on Christopher Nolan's (The Dark Knight) movie "Memento", the director has refuted this but has admitted that it is a remake of the Tamil film "Ghajini". So, i assume, it must be pretty similar to memento for people to mistake it as a remake. The movie is about a man who suffers from short term memory loss after the death of his wife. He tries to seek vengeance, but struggles as his memory holds him back.
The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
Starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.
What a film to end the year...
This looks so good i don't want to spoil it with my own summary. This was found on the reading cinemas website:
"I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time.
We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be.
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Starring Keanu Reeves.
This is a remake of the 1951 classic.
As seen on the reading cinemas website:
Keanu Reeves portrays Klaatu, an alien whose arrival on our planet triggers a global upheaval. As governments and scientists race to unravel the mystery behind the visitor's appearance, a woman (Jennifer Connelly) and her young stepson get caught up in his mission – and come to understand the ramifications of his being a self-described "friend to the Earth."
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Starring Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson.
This is a Comedy/Drama about two American women who travel to Barcelona for a summer holiday. One is sensible and engaged to be married the other is emotionally and sexually adventurous. They find themselves romantically entangled with a charismatic painter who is still involved with his tempestuous ex-wife.
