Movie Synopsis
A penniless French solider uses his charms to rise to power in Paris as he manipulates the real power behind the city’s most influential and wealthy – their wives.
Movie Review Summary
A young charming man sleeps his way through the wives of the wealthy to manipulate them and get what he wants…what could wrong? Well, this did frankly. It feels like the story went for a biography rather than a drama, and it would have been much better if it even skirted the realms of a comedy, as it may have provoked a reaction in the audience. Honestly, the cast you cannot fault for this, they play their roles well enough and given the right script and direction, I think this could have been a much much better film. As it stands, when the curtain comes down on the last scene, you’re still wondering why the things are happening as they are, but then you’re frankly not bothered enough to give it a second though.

Water for Elephants (2011)
Movie Synopsis
When Jacob’s life is turned upside down he finds refuge by using his veterinary skills as part of a traveling circus, however, his feelings for the wife of the owner will land him into trouble.
Movie Review Summary
This was a really enjoyable film with a well developed storyline around Jacob and Marlena that drives it forward well. Thankfully there is an elephant in the film – a pretty adorable one at that – that does get introduced into the film later on, without which the film’s name wouldn’t have made much sense. The acting is well played and the brooding menace that is August keeps the story working. You can definitely connect with Jacob and Marlena’s love story, although with her already married, it would have made the audience a little more sympathetic to their cause if there was greater development of a breakdown between August and Marlena. A good quality film, great acting, and ticks drama and romance nicely, do watch it.
