Since it is nearing Christmas and I have some spare time before the holidays, I wish to highlight a particular (British) movie that will air in the UK somewhere around January 2015, Kingsman : The Secret Service. The movie which will be directed by Matthew Vaughn (who dropped out from directing X-Men: Days of Future Past) stars Colin Firth, Samuel L Jackson, Michael Caine and a bunch of other diverse actors (Elton John, Lady Gaga & Luke Skywalker?). Adapted from an actual comic book by Dave Gibbons and Mark Millar and produced by Marv Films (not Marvel), it depicts a veteran agent who initiates a young recruit into a new world of espionage and introduces him to a top secret and exclusive agency. Not unlike 'Men in Black' or 'The Avengers' I really liked the fun premise of the movie which promises to be entertaining and the fact that Samuel L Jackson is always an interesting (if somewhat deranged) villain. Besides, I have always been a fan of Colin Firth since Pride & Prejudice/Bridget Jones Diary and here he is playing a deadpan and serious veteran secret agent so what's not to like right?
