Hello I Must Be Going & Why Stop Now

After an abundance of fashion posts and a period of neglect, I thought it was time I got back on the blogwagon and hit you with not one, but two new movies.

First up is Hello I must Be Going, directed by actor-turned-director Todd Louiso and written by previous co-star and actress-turned-writer Sarah Koskoff. So far it sounds about as credible as a rapper-slash-actor, but the trailer below shows a promising indie romantic comedy- a winning formula as proven by the likes of 500 Days of Summer and Garden State. The movie opened The Sundance Film Festival and tells the story of a newly-divorced 35-year-old wallowing in self pity after moving back in with her parents. Played by Melanie Lynskey, who shot to fame with her breakthrough performance in Peter Jackson's Heavenly Creatures, she's desperate to bounce back with a beau her parents would approve of, yet falls for a teenager who also lives with his parents, albeit for different reasons. The cast also includes Blythe Danner- known as De Niro's other half in Meet the Fockers, as well as John Rubinstein (21 Grams) and Julie White (Transformers). A UK release date has yet to be announced.


Another new trailer this week is that of comedy Why Stop Now, starring Jesse Eisenberg of The Social Network and Zombieland fame. Jesse plays a college piano prodigy battling his drug addict mother- played by Melissa Leo who won an Oscar for her brilliant portrayal of a similiar role in The Fighter two years ago. During an effort to get her into rehab he becomes hostage to her drug dealer 'Sprinkle', played by Tracy Morgan- best known for his part in Tina Fey's 30 Rock. Ron Nyswaner- the writer of Philadelphia, shares screenplay and director responsibilities in a movie that is sure to be a comedic winner. With no sign of a UK release date, you're just gonna have to get your giggles from the trailer below for now.
