A new comedy-drama directed and co-written by Clooney, The Monuments Men is based on true events in history and a book called The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History (that rolls off the tongue…) by Robert M. Edsel.
The movie also stars Bill Murray and John Goodman, so it sounds like it’s going to be one to watch.
The LEGO movie is out on the 14th Feb and features a great cast including Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman amongst many others.
It turns out pop sensation Justin Bieber’s new film Believe wasn’t a hit with cinema goers. In money terms, the film earned a mere tenth of what his first film Never Say Never made in 2011.
Justin’s first flick grossed $73 million in North America, compared with his latest one, which cost $5 million to make and is expected to gross just $4.5 million in its first five days.
The disappointing figures come straight after the controversial heartthrob announced his retirement on Twitter.
Unfortunately for the Baby singer, the concert film didn’t even make it into the top 10 – apparently all the Beliebers in the world couldn’t move it from its poor 14th position.
However, we shouldn’t worry too much; in the five years since Justin was discovered on YouTube, he has enjoyed a mountain of success. The singer was the first artist to have seven songs from a debut record chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and he received the Artist of the Year Award at the 2010 and 2012 American Music Awards.
If he is able to retire at 19, we’re sure the movie’s flop will have as little impact on him as its release had on the world.
We love Frozen and the adorable animated Disney musical was the highlight of our Christmas.
The kids’ movie, we say kids very lightly here, has claimed the top spot at the North American box office. Amazingly, it has even knocked off the latest The Hobbit trilogy.
The film is really sweet and you don’t even have to have children to go see it. The story is loosely based on a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale and if you haven’t gone to see it it’s time to make a date with the cinema.
It is perfect for this weather, as you can enjoy the sparkly snow without the cold. The story follows fearless Anna who teams up with Kristoff as they endure an epic journey in Everest conditions. The pair are joined by Olaf the snowman in a race to save Anna’s sister Elsa.
It’s just a lovely feel good movie that will definitely pull you out of any January blues.
