The DressmakerThe Dressmaker poster

A starry cast (Kate Winslet, Liam Hemsworth, Judy Davis) assemble for director Jocelyn Moorhouse’s adaptation of the novel by Rosalie Ham. Winslet stars as Tilly, the dressmaker of the title, who returns home to 1950’s Australia to reconcile with her mother (Davis). She falls in love with Teddy (Hemsworth) and, using her skills, styles the women of the town and gets revenge on people who had previously done her wrong.

It looks completely and utterly lovely…like a sartorial Chocolate (2000).

Showing all over the UK, check out the official website for the trailer and more.

Do I Sound Gay?Do I Sound Gay poster

Comedian Margaret Cho and actor George Takei are just some of the interviewees giving their opinion on the matter. Showing at key cities only, the official site will tell you where.

Between Two WorldsBetween Two Worlds poster

Admission – I’m a massive fan of electro-house act Example so, pretty surprised (and happy) to see him supporting in this Brit-flick, under his real name of Elliot Gleave. He is ‘The Money Man’, one of the best pals of Chris Mason, a party-boy who suddenly finds love with sweet girl Hannah Britland. Trailer seems cute and the look of the film is clean, young and generally bang tidy. showing at key cities only, check out the official website for trailer etc.

Crimson Peak

Tom Hiddlestone is fast becoming the Brit film actor of the moment (his High Rise headlined Crimson Peak posterthe London Film Festival and our reviewer in…Maysa Moncao has had chance to see it). He stars as a seductive stranger who spirits away innocent Mia Wasikowska to his titular, mouldering mansion in this Guillermo del Torro directed horror, which follows a similar visual path to his Pan’s Labyrinth (2006). The trailer looks splendidly creepy and stunning, so lucky for horror fans this will be showing nationwide as a pre-Hallowe’en treat. See the official website for more.
