Serious Moonlight movie trailer does not give this movie justice. We have some talented actors here, but the movie is not coming together in its trailer.
The story is about a high-powered lawyer named Louise (Meg Ryan) arrives at her country home for a romantic weekend getaway, things don’t go exactly as planned. First, her husband of 13 years, Ian (Timothy Hutton), tells her that he’s leaving her for a younger woman (Kristen Bell).
Then, one thing leads to another, and pretty soon Ian finds himself held captive by an oddly cool Louise who explains that she won’t release him until he professes his love for her and commits to working on their marriage. And that’s when things start to go wrong.
The unexpected arrival of an opportunistic young gardener (Justin Long) and Ian’s impatient mistress only serve to complicate the crisis even further, while somehow forcing Louise and Ian to reckon with their past and realistically deal with their future.

The Women is about friends and mothers and daughters. It’s about breaking up and finding your way back. It’s about reinventing yourself. It’s about walking through fire for what you believe in. It’s about Women.
Screenhead and The Women are sponsoring this giveaway.
The Women now has a blogging site where you can get the latest information on the movie with scheduled interview dates with all the stars. You even can post your thoughts about the movie and subject matter. The movie opens September 12th.
The blogging site even offers a view of the poster from the original 1939 movie, which I’ve posted here.
Okay, women leave the kids home with dad and go see The Women remake.
When I first saw the original The Women(1939) with legendary stars Norma Shearer, Rosalind Russell, Joan Crawford, Joan Fontaine and Paulette Goddard directed by George Cukor, I could not fathom a remake. The original movie is perfect.
I am sure you are aware of my view on remakes — “Don’t do that!” Just make the movie and use a different title. Remakes are impossible.
The whole point I am trying to make is that the trailer for 2008 The Women is fabulous — I had a good laugh, brilliant timing, strikingly funny.
I am so excited to have Meg Ryan back in a role that was meant to be hers. It’s actually refreshing.
Then, we have Annette Bening, Jada Pinket Smith and Eva Mendes directed by Diane English. Yes, it’s all about women and men; but no men in the movie, just mentioned — even though they play a vital part.
If you are up on The Women, it originally started as a play about comedy of manners that is a bit caustic, by Clare Boothe Luce.
A contemporary observation with hilarious action on-stage about the pampered lives and power struggles of various wealthy Manhattan socialites and up-and-comers and the back biting, gossip that drives and spoils their relationships. As men commonly are the subject of their lively discussions and play a significant part, they are strictly characters referred to yet never seen.
Will the reaction of this movie be similar to Thelm and Louise?
