Summer Films with a British Flavor
Everyone knows that Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial beginning of summer. If the weather has been warming up where you live as it has here in the Midwest, we’re all going to be seeking out the cool darkness of a movie theater at one time or another. Therefore I have compiled a list of British films (or at least British hybrids) for your viewing pleasure.
From family friendly giants and period dramas to tear-jerker romances and spy thrillers, the roster of films this season has a bit of something for everyone. We get to become acquainted with a real-life underdog and get re-acquainted with a pair of comical losers from the past. So get out your calendars and pencil in some of the US premiere dates for these Britishy summer flicks
Love & Friendship - If you’re looking for something to see this weekend, this adaption of a little known Jane Austen novella called Lady Susan is in theaters as we speak. Kate Beckinsale stars as the scandalous Lady Susan Vernon who has been recently widowed and is on the lookout for husband number two and a suitable match for her daughter as well. This period comedy/drama also features Chloe Sevigny and Stephen Fry and is rated PG.
