by Gemma Williams In a time of numerous live-action remakes of beloved Disney films, we can add yet another to the roster: Dumbo. We all know and love the elephant with the large but cute ears, the circus elephant who learned to fly and becomes separated from his mother. The animated classic was released in 1941 and is still popular amongst many today, across a range of ages. It is a film that a family can sit and watch together in enjoyment, and soon, they will be able to watch a live-action interpretation. by Gemma Williams Susan Sarandon is considered by many to be a Queen among actresses. She first became active within her acting career in 1969 and continues to release powerfully acted roles in deep and meaningful films. She has proven herself capable of playing a variety of different characters and emotions and for this reason, she deserves a mention. Plus, let’s not forget how fabulous she looks for a 67 year old. She is a woman of grace who fights for her moral beliefs, being appointed a Unicef Goodwill Ambassador in 1999 and she also received a Humanitarian Award for Action Against Hunger in 2006. Thanks to her appearence in comedy To celebrate this woman, let’s take a look at some of her films that you really should see. It's the eve of the release of The Fault In Our Stars. With fans bustling to get into cinemas to watch their coveted story get the big screen treatment. Advance screenings, premières, fan events and more have given everyone a taste of this incredible phenomenon. Luckily enough, in the Apple Store: Regent Street, I'm With Geek book Editor Gemma Williams, was able to see Ansel Elgort, Laura Dern and Nat Wolff - the stars of The Fault In Our Stars. by Gemma Williams Before you look away, just read this introduction where I will dispel some negative connotations that follow this particular piece of fiction. This is not a "cancer" story. It is a love story. It is a story about the importance of friends and family. It is a story about life. Sure, cancer is the premise, but that’s not the important part. So, back to the topic at hand; how was the film? by Gemma Williams For anyone who has seen Fluke, and probably cried masses of tears over the film, it will be clear why this film is being mentioned. For those that don’t know, Fluke is a dog who used to be a man and was reincarnated when he met his untimely demise. Thomas, who is now Fluke, was a father in life to a little boy called Brian. The relationship between Thomas and Brian will be the focus of this article, though there are a wealth of topics to discuss related to this film. by Gemma Williams In 2012, The Walt Disney Company gained the rights to Lucasfilm and started work on a new Star Wars film. Usually, you would expect fans to be joyful at this news. Star Wars and George Lucas have an immense fan-base and they were surprised with another film in the franchise. There has been a lot of discourse against Disney, however. Disney has made some great films, but none in the league or even the same genre as Star Wars. So the question is, can they pull it off? |
