- RegistaEdgar WrightStelleSimon PeggNick FrostMartin FreemanUn eccezionale poliziotto di Londra viene trasferito in una piccola città di campagna in Inghilterra, apparentemente tranquilla, che nasconde un macabro segreto.Brilliant, super-cool, power-packed, adrenaline-driven, badass cop movie is what it seems to be at the beginning, with a promise of explosive gang fight sequences high on action, style, guns and bullets.....but then there is a turn of events - and one begins to wonder, "Is it even remotely possible to keep the promise under the circumstances?" Well, you never know.
- RegistaEdgar WrightStelleSimon PeggNick FrostKate AshfieldUn uomo decide di dare una svolta alla sua vita moribonda riconquistando la sua ex-ragazza, riconciliando la sua relazione con sua madre e occupandosi di un'intera comunità tornata dalla morte per mangiare i viventi.A film revolving around zombies, friendship, love, sacrifice and so on, with a heavy dose of British humor at its best to go with the rest.
- RegistaNiall JohnsonStelleRowan AtkinsonKristin Scott ThomasMaggie SmithUn pastore preoccupato di scrivere il sermone perfetto non si rende conto che sua moglie ha l'amante e che i suoi figli non stanno combinando nulla di buono.An account of seemingly innocent events occurring in a family of four plus the governess in an English countryside house. Then there is a hint of mischief- infidelity and such. But as the story unfolds under the garb of humor, darker secrets begin to come to the fore, and the story keeps getting much darker...
- RegistaMike LeighStelleSally HawkinsAlexis ZegermanSamuel RoukinUno sguardo a qualche episodio della vita di Poppy, un'allegra ed esuberante insegnante di scuola del nord di Londra il cui ottimismo tende a esasperare chi le sta intorno.The title - sunny, humorous, and life-affirming as symbolized by the central character Poppy. Everybody receives life at a different frequency. Poppy, always high on spirits, may or may not tune into others frequencies. With a peculiar sense of humor (which at times may be annoying) she tries to brighten people's moods but it may or may not work. No philanthropy, no social service, no preaching involved. She is just there to enjoy life. A great film with an undercurrent of melancholy - the melancholy that is life itself - running throughout.
- RegistaNigel ColeStelleHelen MirrenJulie WaltersPenelope WiltonBest friends Chris and Annie are members of a charitable institute. When Annie's husband succumbs to leukemia, the friends decide to pose nude for a calendar to raise funds for a local hospital.A feel-good British film about a certain group of female friends, and the way the group of enterprising women tackles a fund-raising challenge. A good film, with a female cast majorly, with great feminine energy in the plot, for everybody to watch and enjoy.
