Hi there, it's been a while! I've seen quite a few awesome films in the last several months, but so much has been going on that I've been unable to post much. Anyway, before I head on over to my local Odeon and catch some of this Summer's best films, I thought I'd chat a little about what I'm hoping to see...
The Inbetweeners 2 (dir. Iain Morris/Damon Beesley)
Okay, I am seriously beyond excited to see this film. I loved the original E4 television series and enjoyed the 1st film just as much, so I'm expecting big things from the sequel. Written and directed by the show's co-creators Morris and Beesley, this time we join the boys Down Under as Neil, Will and Simon go to stay with Jay on his gap year. But, if the boys' last adventure in Malia is anything to go by, obviously many cringey yet hilarious antics will occur. More often than not, sequels can be a bitter disappointment, but one watch of the film's trailer reassured me that this will not be the case for The Inbetweeners 2 - I can't wait to see it. Out August 6th.
Hector and the Search for Happiness (dir. Peter Chelsom)
Next on my list is a film that looks just as cute and feel good as the title. Plus, anything starring the legendary actor that is Simon Pegg gets my vote. Pegg is quirky psychiatrist Hector who, after feeling guilty that his clients do not appear to be getting any happier, heads off on a self-discovery type adventure in order to find out how to be happy. With this beautiful sounding storyline, alongside a stellar cast that also includes Rosamund Pike, Toni Collette and Christopher Plummer, I'm looking forward to getting all happy watching this. Out August 20th.
What If (dir. Michael Dowse)
My third and final movie that I'm pumped about seeing is romantic comedy What If. And although I know that Daniel Radcliffe will always be Harry Potter to me, he looks promising in this film, playing medical school dropout Wallace who, after deciding to let his love life take a back seat, meets and ends up forming a close friendship with a girl named Chantry. I think this film will prove popular, given the theme of falling for your best friend has no doubt touched the hearts of numerous people. And I've often found a film a lot more enjoyable if you can relate to the characters' stories - not that I haven't seen some stunning work where this isn't the case. But the trailer got me giggling no end, so I'm sure that, along with Hector and the Search for Happiness, it'll be a great film to end the summer with. Out August 20th.
