The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel Clips

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel hits the big screen today and brings together an super exciting and very experienced cast.

When you see Judi Dench on a cast list you know you should check the movie out but when she is joined by, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith, Tom Wilkinson, Penelope Wilton, Celia Imrie and Ronald Pickup you know you are in for a treat.

But there is a fresh face in the movie and that belongs to Mr Dev Patel as he is making his first movie outing since The Last Airbender.

For a disparate group of English pensioners, retirement takes an unconventional turn when they abandon their homeland, enticed by advertisements for The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, a seemingly luxurious sanctuary for ‘the elderly and beautiful’ in Jaipur, India.

On arrival, they discover that the hotel falls somewhat short of the romantic idyll promised in the brochure.

But they are gradually won over by the ever-optimistic young manager Sonny (Dev Patel), and tentatively embark on a new adventure, finding that life can begin again when you let go of the past.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is out now.

Black Gold Clip

We kicked off the week with some new images from Black Gold nad now we have the latest clip.

The movie sees French director Jean-Jacques Annaud back in the chair while a whole host of uber famous faces are on the cast list including Tahar Rahim, Mark Strong, Antonio Banderas, Riz Ahmed and Freida Pinto.

Under the unforgiving desert sky, two warring leaders come face to face. The bodies of their warriors litter the battlefield. The victorious Nesib, Emir of Hobeika (Antonio Banderas), lays down his peace terms to his rival Amar, Sultan of Salmaah (Mark Strong).

The two men agree that neither may lay claim to the area of no man’s land between them called The Yellow Belt. In return and according to the tribal customs of the time, Nesib will ‘adopt’- or take hostage- Amar’s two boys Saleeh (Akin Gazi) and Auda (Tahar Rahim); a guarantee that neither man can invade the other.

Years later, Saleeh and Auda have grown into young men. Saleeh, the warrior, itches to escape his gilded cage and return to his father’s land. Auda cares only for books and the pursuit of knowledge.

One day, their adopted father Nesib is visited by an American oil man from Texas (Corey Johnson). He tells the Emir that his land is blessed with oil and promises him riches beyond his imagination.
