U he diva serial
Shot in America’s Deep South, this is sultry - and occasionally silly - stuff but it’s nod hard to see why stunning leads Gabriella Wilde and Alex Pettyfer can’t keep their hands off each other. Despite some liberties taken with the real story, this is still powerfully moving, with Coogan especially impressive as journalist Martin Sixsmith.Ī remake of the eighties teen film about star-crossed lovers whose passion doesn’t sit well with their parents. Steve Coogan produced, co-wrote and co-stars in this true story that sees Judi Dench as the title character - an Irish grandmother tracking down the child she was forced to give up for adoption back in the fifties.
U HE DIVA SERIAL FULL
Bittersweet and full of warmth, plus there’s a role for the legendary Jeff Goldblum too, at his quirky best as family friend Morgan (with It’s a Sin star Olly Alexander playing his son). Grown-up romance starring national treasures Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan as a couple hoping to rekindle their marriage in Paris. The true story of an opera-singing, New York heiress and her wayward husband, starring Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant? What more do I need to say? Here’s something funny, touching and deliciously eccentric - a celebration of following your dreams, whatever the obstacles.
As haunting as it is beautiful, The Piano also gave future True Blood star Anna Paquin her first role. This nineties arthouse classic saw Holly Hunter bag an Academy Award for her mute performance as Ada McGrath, a 19th century Scot who arrives in New Zealand with her young daughter for an arranged marriage. A shame really, since Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara make an excellent Mikael and Lisbeth - the journalist and hacker odd couple out to expose a wealthy family’s disturbing secrets. Unlike the original Swedish film, this American remake underperformed at the box-office, meaning that the remaining books in Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy never got their Hollywood makeover. There’s strong support from Sienna Miller too.
The late, great Chadwick Boseman might have made better films but this story of a Big Apple cop on a nighttime hunt for two killers reminds us just how much he could elevate even average movies with his arresting presence. WATCH: The beloved film is finally coming to Netflix 21 Bridges (2019)
