This movie is directed by Golden Globe® and Oscar® winning filmmaker Susanne Bier, written by Bier and Anders Thomas Jensen and starring Pierce Brosnan and Trine Dyrholm. Philip (Brosnan), an Englishman living in Denmark, is a lonely, middle-aged widower and estranged single father. Ida (Dyrholm) is a Danish hairdresser, recuperating from a long bout of illness, who’s just been left by her husband for a younger woman, Thilde. The fates of these two bruised souls are about to intertwine, as they embark for a trip to Italy to attend the wedding of Patrick and Astrid, Philip’s son and Ida’s daughter. With warmth, affection and confidence, Susanne Bier has shaken a cocktail of love, loss, absurdity, humor, and delicately drawn characters that will leave only the hardest heart untouched. It is a film about the simple yet profound pains and joys of moving on – and forward – with your life.
This is so relentlessly unremarkable and has its touching and emotional moments especially for the drama of young love is, at least, usefully contrasted with the easy, laidback romance between Brosnan and Dyrholm. They’re at a stage in life when they’re no longer willing to pretend, or to conform to others’ expectations and it’s uplifting to watch.
Although is highly predictable story, all characters manage to evoke dislike, sympathy, pity, hope and happiness on screen. Definitely is a sunny, sweet, with a lovely cast, idyllic locations and fruitfully comic situations. Pleasingly endearing and will be open in LA & NY May 3, 2013.

Starbuck was co-written and directed by Ken Scott, who penned the screenplay with Martin Petit, the film stars Patrick Huard as David Wozniak, a 42-year old lovable but perpetual screw up who finally decides to take control of his life. A habitual sperm donor in his youth, he discovers that he’s the biological father of 533 children, 142 of whom are trying to force the fertility clinic to reveal the true identity of the prolific donor code-named Starbuck.
Produced by André Rouleau, the film also stars Julie Le Breton, as David’s long suffering girlfriend who suddenly finds herself pregnant and understandably reluctant to share parenthood with the unreliable David, and Antoine Bertrand, David’s longtime friend, Paul, an attorney who takes on his case while trying to disabuse him of the joys of parenthood.
It’s a story hugely sentimental full of unexpected reactions of some characters but plenty of charm and great humor sense. Mainly with anonymity laws have changed and 142 of these young adults want to meet him what is he going to do? Is he will be out of this intriguingly bizarre situation? Just see it because is really enjoyable French Canadian film will be will release on March 22 in Los Angeles and New York, with a national rollout to follow.

What happens when your new best friend is your husband’s mistress? Madelyn Reid (Academy Award-winner Marcia Gay Harden) accidentally learns of her husband’s infidelity when she saves his sexy young mistress Lucy (Leonor Watling, TALK TO HER) from a bungled suicide attempt. When her unsuspecting young rival suggests the two new friends take each other’s advice – on everything – Madelyn sees an opportunity to seize the upper hand. But the plan backfires when Lucy, an aspiring actress, insists Madelyn keep her end of the bargain and orders her to star as King Lear in a community production, with Lucy playing The Fool. Things really get out of control when Lucy starts giving Madelyn instructions on dealing with an amorous coworker and a handsome stranger (Aidan Quinn, Prime Suspect, Weeds). IF I WERE YOU is a very entertaining look at the unexpected places that life can take us.
IF I WERE YOU features Joseph Kell, Michael Therriault, Gary Piquer, Bethany Jillard, Elizabeth Whitmere, Claire Brosseau and Valerie Mahaffey. The film was produced by David Gordian and Alan Latham for Paragraph Pictures and Tall Tree Pictures written and directed by Joan Carr-Wiggin (A PREVIOUS ENGAGEMENT). It really well structured in comedy full of versatility and cleverness with profound emotional connection. As a viewer might get a tease soon, just a little something to hold us over especially in death which is examined in a cutting memorial service scene that any survivor with a brain will understand magnetism is essential to the movie’s upward lift. Both characters know about their respective situations. Which, of course, makes things awkward when Madelyn befriends Lucy and the two bond over their relationship crises making it dramatic and comic at the same time. IF I WERE YOU will open in Los Angeles and New York on March 15 followed by a national roll-out.

California Solo treats a delicate topic

A former Britpop rocker who now works on a farm gets caught driving drunk and faces deportation after living in Los Angeles for many years. His efforts to stay in the U.S. force him to confront the past and current demons in his life. Lachlan (Robert Carlyle) is a great choice for a lead in this movie, the film is full of guilt and responsibility with delicate depressing tone. The main character has many behavior elements full of resignation and self-destructive anger especially when he has to face his melodrama with his immigration status in USA. When a bit of behind-the-wheel boozing threatens to get him deported back to the U.K., Lachlan drinks more and suffers more too. Only a reunion with the daughter he never knew can, possibly, save him. Is this would work for this Agriculture worker and ex- rocker? Two thumbs up for this movie.

Summer is a good season for “The Oranges”
By GalaTView Staff
The Oranges is a comedy about two families, who have been lifelong friends, and the hilarity that ensues when a rebellious daughter returns home for the holidays and causes a scandal that forces everyone to re-examine what happiness really means to them.
David and Paige Walling (Hugh Laurie, Catherine Keener) and Terry and Cathy Ostroff (Oliver Platt, Allison Janney) are best friends and neighbors living on Orange Drive in suburban New Jersey. Their comfortable existence goes awry when prodigal daughter Nina Ostroff (Leighton Meester), newly broken up with her fiancé Ethan (Sam Rosen), returns home for Thanksgiving after a five-year absence. Rather than developing an interest in the successful son of her neighbors, Toby Walling (Adam Brody), which would please both families, it’s her parents’ best friend David who captures Nina’s attention.
When the connection between Nina and David becomes undeniable, everyone’s lives are thrown into upheaval, particularly Vanessa Walling’s (Alia Shawkat), Nina’s childhood best friend. It’s not long before the ramifications of the affair begin to work on all of the family members in unexpected and hilarious ways, leading everyone to reawaken to their lives and reassess what it means to be happy. This movie seems to have a little bit of everything where the main element is love between a man and woman and this man is married but has a complicated relationship with a very young woman due she does not have enough maturity as man has. It’s a great relationship with differences of age but their reality is harder than they thought so their age and responsibilities make a difference in this couple. Definitely is a good movie will make you to think about relationships and modern couples of these days that you can enjoy it in Theaters October 5th, 2012.
