Emma Stone
Rachel Weisz
Olivia Colman (Queen Anne)
Director: Yorgos Lanthimos
Today we watched the trailer for The Favourite, a movie directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and featuring Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, and Emma Stone. It's about Queen Anne, who ruled from 1702 to 1714.
Now, Creed 2 is playing. It sounds very interesting, and I would like to see it.
In the Premier League, Liverpool had a scare against Crystal Palace, but won in the end. Manchester City won their match, too, so they are still 4 points behind. Liverpool keep winning even when they don't play so well, and it's difficult to see when they will lose points. Perhaps they will have problems when the Champions League returns.

The Favourite, and other matters…
Olivia Colman
Rachel Weisz
Emma Stone
Today we watched the trailer for The Favourite, a new movie starring Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, and Emma Stone. It's directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, who also directed The Lobster and Dogtooth. I haven't seen Dogtooth, but I enjoyed The Lobster very much. (That movie also starred Rachel Weisz.) The movie is about Queen Anne, daughter of James II and queen during the 17th and 18th centuries. It's not a period I know so much about, so I'm interested in seeing the movie.
It's due to be shown in Japanese cinemas from February 15th. One month later, Mary Queen of Scots will be shown.

Jim Broadbent
Tom Courtenay
Ray Winstone
Michael Gambon
Today we watched the trailer for King of Thieves, starring Michael Caine, Jim Broadbent, and Tom Courtenay, and also featuring Ray Winstone and Michael Gambon, all famous British actors. It's based on the true story of the biggest bank heist in British history. Check it out!
Denkikan is now showing A Ghost Story, with Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck. I hope to go and see it fairly soon. Other cinemas have Creed 2.

Tom Courtenay
Today we watched the trailer for King of Thieves, a movie based on the true story of the biggest robbery in British history. It's good to see so many famous British actors together. The cast also includes Ray Winstone. Michael Caine is now 85 years old.
There has been no movement at the top of the Premier League. Both Liverpool and Manchester City won. However, Tottenham lost to Manchester United, and Arsenal also lost, meaning that the race for the top 4 is very competitive.

- Make sure you have at least 10 posts on your blog each month. If you had fewer than 10 posts one month, you can make up for it the following month. But just making up the number of missing posts is not enough! For example, if you had 7 posts one month, you might think that 13 posts is enough the next month to make 20 posts over two months. But actually you need 18 posts the next month (13 + 5) to make up for the shortfall.

Coming Through the Rye, A Ghost Story, New Year, and other matters…
J. D. Salinger, Catcher in the Rye
Casey Affleck, Rooney Mara
Today we watched two movie trailers. You can see both of the movies at Denkikan. I think both look very interesting so I want to try to see both of them. I like Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara very much, so I especially want to see A Ghost Story. Coming Through the Rye also looks very interesting. It has a connection with the J. D. Salinger story, Catcher in the Rye.
By the way, the Premier League looks very interesting this season. The lead at the top is just four points, so it may be a very close race.

Coming through the rye, A Ghost Story, New Year, and other matters…
Today we watched two movie trailers. One movie is playing at Denkikan this week, and the other will start next week. The first one was Coming Through the Rye. As the name suggests, it has a connection with J. D. Salinger, author of Catcher in the Rye. A boy studying at a prep school who is very unpopular with the other students likes writing, and he goes looking for J. D. Salinger. The story really isn't about J. D. Salinger, but more about the boy and his relationship with a girl and his feelings about something he did in his past.
The other one was A Ghost Story. This one stars Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara. It has something to do with remembering the past. The ghost in the story is not frightening.
In the Premier League, Manchester City beat Liverpool. There is now only a 4-point gap at the top.
