"FRIDAY MOVIE SUGGESTION NIGHT" PRESENTS: AUGUST RUSH!
Robin Williams in a scene with Freddie Highmore
_____
In the short span of two and a half years, I've only selected a "Friday Movie Suggestion Night" feature currently playing in cinemas in wide release only twice and this week will be the second such occasion. Actress Keri Russell is Lyla, a brilliant cellist in New York City who meets and falls in love with an Irish guitarist with whom she shares a love of music named Louis Connelly (played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers). A tragic accident sets into motion a search for the son Lyla had with Louis who was placed in an orphanage by her domineering father, Thomas (William Sadler). Born with a gift to "hear music all around him", this uplifting story will fill you with Peace, Hope and Love. If you share my passion for music, 'AUGUST RUSH' aka Evan Taylor (Freddie Highmore), will fill you with the warmth and optimism of what Life has to offer in this Holiday Season and beyond!

Directed by: Kirsten Sheridan, Writing Credits (WGA) Nick Castle, James V. Hart (screenplay); Nick Castle and Paul Castro (story); The Cast: Freddie Highmore is Evan Taylor aka "August Rush"; the lovely Keri Russell is Lyla Novicek; Johnathan Rhys Meyers is Louis Connelly; Robin Williams is Maxwell 'Wizard' Wallace; William Sadler is Thomas Novacek; Mykelti Williamson is Reverend James and Jamia Simone Nash is Hope.

Hi Michael,
I hope you had a great Christmas and a great holiday season.
I have not seen this movie but I will look out for it. It sounds like my kind of film.
Robin Williams is Maxwell 'Wizard' Wallace - I am only guessing but it sounds like his part is an agent.
Thanks again,
Glenn Bishop
I loved this movie.
During the Holidays I usually pick several movies and go with a friend.
In fact I am off this afternoon to see Juno
Looking forward to your next review.

I like Robin Williams...ever since his Mork days
Jonathan Rhys Meyers "crazy eyes" distract me in every daggone thing he is in! LOL
This is definitely on our "must see" list!
I already have this on my list. Hope your Christmas was super wonderful, Michael! Did you spend it in your new place?
P.S. Did you by any chance see Ginger & Daisy's Christmas Eve post? You might get a kick out of it ;)
I hope you had a great holiday and have an even better new year.
I heard this was a must see movie.
Micheal, thank you for taking the time to post such wonderful movie suggestions each week!
Thank you also, for entering my Blue Christmas contest. Unfortunately, I did not pick your entry (sorry!).
I've blogged about the winning entry - so go have a look - it's pretty funny - even if I do say so myself!
Hope you had a very Merry Christmas! And have a fabulous new year!
Glenn: I smiled when you mentioned "Agent". Technically, yes but you must see the film!
Green Tea: I liked it as much as "Across the Universe" and it warmed the heart too!:)
Barngoddess: He is a genius! I'm so glad that he adopted Christopher and Dana Reeve's son!!A good guy!!!
Patti_Cake: He isn't in this film very long, so maybe that helps. Otherwise this is very cool! :)
Seamus: Hope you settle in with some hot chocolate and enjoy!:)
Carolyn: Yes, I did have a cool Christmas, which is the subject of my next post! I arrived December
5th. I remember Daisy and Ginger taking over the keyboard for you and commenting. But I'll be by to make sure. They sure are cuties, aren't they? :)
Katie: It really is because it bypasses all the darkness in movies today and focuses on music and having a cool life! It really is positive!
Knitti-Me: Haha! That was FUN! I'm grateful that you didn't find my interview with Republic Airways boring!! There is a real undercurrent of human drama in that industry and I have enjoyed covering it for almost 13 years! I'll stop by!:)
I've got to go see this--this and Juno too!
I really want to see this movie, but just because of that I will refrain from reading this post. I don't want to ruin it.
Janet: That's okay, I kept it sparse! :)
