Adapted from Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel, this seductive, psychological thriller follows renowned author Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway) and Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson), a struggling writer who relocates to the remote Crawford estate to ghostwrite for Verity.

After Lowen uncovers what appears to be Verity’s chilling autobiographical notes, she wrestles with the disturbing and twisted confessions about Verity’s husband Jeremy (Josh Hartnett), and finds it hard to separate fiction from reality, manipulation from attraction, and opportunity from obsession.

Starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, Josh Hartnett, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Brady Wagner, Verity will be released in Aussie cinemas October 1!

Writing that mirrors real life accurately is so difficult. The text here is so free of imposed conventions and false facades, it makes you realise how infrequently we are given words this eloquent and free of contrivances.

Six-grader Paul Graff (Repeta) lives with his Jewish family in Queens, New York in the eighties. He is a sensitive child whose talents lay outside conventional scholastic ability. He only connects with his grandfather (Hopkins) who supports his artistic wishes.

There are no grand and overstated scenario at play, just realistic goals that seem just out of reach in those limited times. When you have actors giving performances of this calibre, it’s such a reward to have a script and story with such poignancy for them to ply their trade. James Grey’s Armageddon Time is just sublime.

As the boy and his grandmother encounter some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, she wisely whisks our young hero away to an opulent seaside resort.

Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world’s Grand High Witch has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe undercover to carry out her nefarious plans.

The Witches will be released in Australian cinemas December 10!

This vivid approach isn’t just limited to the visuals either. The landscapes and creatures are integral to a story that also expands the mind. One thinks that the story’s original author Lewis Carroll might have gotten hold of some of the Blue Caterpillar’s best stash before pen was put to paper.

Australian actor Mia Wasikowska as Alice, starts out as a dour young girl sent off to marry a man she doesn’t love and through the magic of the story becomes a luminous woman ready to take on the world. It really is a girl power tale for the ages (maybe minus all the drug references though). Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter gets to channel all his inner craziness and is a real scene-stealer.

Having read the original text so far back in my past I can’t attest to any of its devotion to the original story, I can only state that giving someone with as much imagination as Tim Burton free reign to capture the vision in his mind’s eye has helped to create one of the most visually arresting films of all time. It’s also to the film’s credit that the storyline is every bit the equal to the visual extravagance.

In this case, it’s the chemical company DuPont that poisoned its workers and a substantial portion of the population of a small town in West Virginia called Parkersburg during their manufacture of a product called Teflon. Through a long and protracted court battle and subsequent medical investigation, they were proven to be guilty of the willful disregard of public safety and untimely had to pay out a huge settlement.

Mark Ruffalo plays the lawyer Rob Bilott, a man obsessed with finding the truth and claiming compensation for the victims of this atrocity. His single mindedness almost costs him everything. His marriage and heath suffered greatly as he battled the big behemoth that is DuPont to bring these facts to light. The company, that merged with Dow Chemicals in 2017, employs over 98,000 people.

Part social commentary, part legal thriller, Dark Waters almost overwhelms with another story of how much risk we as consumers undertake by our dealing with major corporations and with our own expectations for all the modern creature comforts. If even casts doubts on the tools we use to prepare our meals. Ruffalo’s real life passion as an activist and actor infuse the work with a palpable sense of gravitas and adds considerably to the film’s appeal.
