Top-5 movies of the week - 21.10 - 27.10

Hi, everyone! I hope you don't forget to watch good movie these rainy days. There are three directorial debuts, which you might like. Maybe one of their filmmakers will become world famous in the next few years. We'll see.

1."Retreat"
Nice couple lives in a picturesque and peaceful place. All seams fine, until one young man runs into their cottage and tells them there is a dangerous virus in the city, so they should be prepared. They've already turned a comfortable house into some sort of bunker when young couple understands that this danger isn't outside. Its trailer reminded me "28 Days Later", but there is a huge difference. You don't know whether out there is an epidemic or that guy is simply insane.
Directed by Carl Tibbetts, it's his debut.
Starring Cillian Murphy, Thandie Newton, Jamie Bell.
Trailer.


2."Oranges And Sunshine"
Based on a true story, this movie tells us about Margaret Humphreys, a social worker from Nottingham, who tries to fix the horrible government's mistake. Many children were forced to move from the United Kingdom to Australia. Now they want to find their relatives, to reunite with families and to discover who they really are. But there is a system, which doesn't like to admit its wrong and inhuman actions and just one woman, who fights it. I should say it is very inspiring story.
Directed by Jim Loach, it's his debut.
Starring Emily Watson and Hugo Weaving with David Wenham.
Trailer.


3."Martha Marcy May Marlene"
Martha, a young woman, calls her sister to pick her up in the middle of nowhere. After returning to their home, she experiences great difficulties to live a normal life. Painful memories and increasing paranoia don't give her a chance to start over. She might have done some horrible things in the past, which now are haunting her. This psychological drama looks to be very tense with some unexpected plot twists.
Directed by T. Sean Durkin, it's his debut.
Starring Elizabeth Olsen, Hugh Dancy.
Trailer.


4."Paranormal Activity 3"
It's the third movie and people aren't still tired of being scared of the same story. I'm not a big fan of horrors, so I haven't even watched its trailer. The one thing you should know: it's prequel, which has to show us how this chilling story begins.
Directed by Henry Joost , Ariel Schulman.
Starring Katie Featherston.
Trailer.


5."The Three Musketeers"
Don't expect from it something huge and impressive. It looks like this new story based on Alexandre Dumas' legendary novel is a disaster of this season. With such strong cast, impressive fights, gorgeous costumes and special effects, this movie hasn't become critics' favorite. Plus you have to over pay, because there is 3D. "The Three Musketeers" is very expensive pop flick and I won't compare it to Guy Ritchie's great "Sherlock Holmes" anymore.
Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson ("Resident Evil", 2002).
Starring Logan Lerman, Luke Evans, Ray Stevenson, Matthew Macfadyen, Milla Jovovich, Orlando Bloom, Christoph Waltz.

"War Horse" (2011) - Second trailer

I've seen this new video yesterday, in the theater, before watching "Real Steel". It looked impressive on the big screen as every Steven Spielberg's film should. This video wasn't very different from the previous one, but I was touched again by its beautiful and dramatic music by the great composer John Williams.

This story has to be inspirational, touching and tragic. While watching second trailer I was wondering who will survive this war and who will be lost in the end. I can't be sure, but it looks like the boy or his magnificent horse should meet there their death and it will be a heartbreaking moment.

And don't forget it has a brilliant cast. The main parts are played by Jeremy Irvine (Albert), Emily Watson (Albert’s mum), Peter Mullan (Albert’s dad), Niels Arestrup (grandfather), David Thewlis (Lyons), Tom Hiddleston (Captain Nichols) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Major Stewart).

"War Horse" / "Боевой конь" (2011) - Trailer

From director Steven Spielberg comes “War Horse”, an epic adventure for audiences of all ages. Set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War, “War Horse” begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert (Jeremy Irvine), who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets—British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter—before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land.

The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse—an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high adventure. “War Horse” is one of the great stories of friendship and war— a successful book, it was turned into a hugely successful international theatrical hit that is arriving on Broadway next year. It now comes to screen in an epic adaptation by one of the great directors in film history. (Official movie site)

The main parts are played by Emily Watson (Albert’s mum), Peter Mullan (Albert’s dad), Niels Arestrup (grandfather), David Thewlis (Lyons), Tom Hiddleston (Captain Nichols) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Major Stewart).

Режиссер Стивен Спилберг представляет кинокартину «Боевой конь», эпическое приключение для всех возрастов. На фоне местностей деревенской Англии и Европы, во времена Первой мировой войны, история начинается с дружбы между скакуном Джоуи и юным Альбертом (Джереми Ирвин), который его тренирует. Когда их разлучают, фильм показывает потрясающее путешествие коня, который меняет жизни тех, кто его встречает на своем пути – британская кавалерия, немецкие солдаты, французский фермер и его внучка; пока фильм не достигает своего эмоционального апогея в сердце Ничьей земли.

Первая мировая война воспринимается сквозь призму истории этого коня – вестника радости и печали, верной дружбы и невероятного приключения. «Боевой конь» является одной из великолепных историй о дружбе и войне – успешная книга превращена в не менее успешный театральный хит, который будет показан на Бродвее в следующем году. В настоящее время она приходит на наши экраны в виде впечатляющей адаптации от одного из великих режиссеров нашего времени.

Главные роли играют Эмили Уотсон (мать Альберта), Питер Маллан (отец Альберта), Нильс Ареструп (дедушка), Дэвид Тьюлис (Лионс), Том Хиддлстон (капитан Николс), Бенедикт Камбербэтч (майор Стюарт).

Release dates - December 28, 2011 (USA), January 13, 2012 (UK)
