Les Miserables Review - Don't Forget to Bring Some Tissue

Just got home from the SUCCESSFUL press screening of Les Miserables from Solar Entertainment and I'm making this the MOVIE OF THE MONTH.

And I mean success because the movie actually played this time not like what happened in Resorts World (I'm still sore with RW over that, but not with Solar just to be clear). 

So anyway before we wander away, here's a bit of history. The movie was based on a play which was based on the novel by French writer Victor Hugo. It's about life, liberty, freedom and spirituality and finding your strength no matter the odds. 

New Trailers for World War Z and Les Miserables

Two new trailers came out today that being the first trailer for World War Z and the international trailer for Les Miserables. 

This stars Brad Pitt and is based on the novel by Max Brooks. 

Brad Pitt plays a U.N. employee racing against time and fate as he travels the world trying to stop the outbreak of a deadly zombie pandemic, and his Plan B shingle is producing. Mireille Enos ("Big Love", "The Killing") plays his wife, a mother of two girls. Their co-stars include Eric West, Matthew Fox, David Morse, and James Badge Dale.

Anne Hathaway Sings in the Les Miserables Teaser Trailer

The beautiful Anne Hathaway sings in this new teaser trailer for "Les Miserables" where she plays the doomed single mom Fatine.

Believe it or not, Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables" pretty much sealed the deal for me to become a writer. This was the last heavy drama stuff that I read in high school before graduation. Call it serendipity that this was also started by watching the live-action movie starring Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman and Uma Thurman. Sadly that version did not have any song. Just straight drama.

Before gearing away from the main topic, here's the teaser trailer for Les Miserables with Hathaway singing "I Dreamed a Dream".



From the star power alone this movie looks EPIC. You've got guys like Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, plus Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.

Plus we don't have to wait much longer since it has a December 2012 release date.
