The Roses (2025) is a dark comedy film starring Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch. It tells the story of Ivy and Theo Rose, a married couple who seem to have a perfect life in California. They have good jobs, happy children, and a strong relationship. But when Theo loses his job and Ivy becomes more successful, their marriage starts to fall apart. They begin to fight over their careers, their children, and their home. The movie shows how love can turn into rivalry when people stop listening to each other.

This new film is a modern version of the 1989 movie The War of the Roses. In that story, a couple named Oliver and Barbara Rose also had a good life – until they decided to divorce. They both wanted to keep their house, and their fight became very angry and even dangerous. The 1989 film was famous for showing how a divorce can become a “war.”

In the 2025 version, the focus is more on career competition and emotional struggles. It’s funny, sad, and sometimes shocking – but always about how relationships can change when people grow apart.

A Csütörtöki nyomozóklub augusztus 28-án érkezik! A film Richard Osman bestsellerének adaptációja, Chris Columbus rendezésében. A főszerepben: Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Sir Ben Kingsley és Celia Imrie. 

The Thursday Murder Club

Based on Richard Osman’s international bestselling novel of the same name, The Thursday Murder Club follows four irrepressible retirees – Elizabeth (Helen Mirren) a former spy, Ron (Pierce Brosnan) a retired union leader, Ibrahim (Ben Kingsley) a psychiatrist and Joyce (Celia Imrie) a nurse – who spend their time solving cold case murders for fun.

What begins as a quirky hobby quickly turns serious when a local developer is found dead under suspicious circumstances. Suddenly, the Thursday Murder Club finds itself in the middle of a very real and very dangerous case.

As the group digs deeper, secrets unravel – both from the present and the past. With their unique skills, sharp wit, and a surprising amount of bravery, the retirees outmanoeuvre the police, outwit suspects, and uncover a tangled web of motives. But the closer they get to the truth, the more they realize that someone doesn’t want this case solved – and that their own lives may be at risk.

Directed by Chris Columbus, the film is the latest to be produced through the Netflix and Amblin Entertainment partnership.

Film releasing in Hungary on August, 28th, 2025

Adolescence tells the story of how a family’s world is turned upside down when 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper) is arrested for the murder of a teenage girl who goes to his school. Stephen Graham will play Jamie’s father and ‘appropriate adult’, Eddie Miller. Ashley Walters stars as Detective Inspector Luke Bascombe, and Erin Doherty is Briony Ariston, the clinical psychologist assigned to Jamie’s case.

Adolescence reunites Stephen Graham and Philip Barantini, who previously collaborated on the BAFTA and BIFA nominated feature Boiling Point, critically acclaimed for its one continuous shot.

The series is created and written by Graham and multi-award winner Jack Thorne (The Swimmers, Joy). The Executive Producers are Mark Herbert and Emily Feller for Warp Films, Stephen Graham and Hannah Walters for Matriarch Productions, Jack Thorne for One Shoe Films, Philip Barantini for It’s All Made Up Productions, and Brad Pitt, Jeremy Kleiner, Dede Gardner and Nina Wolarsky for Plan B Entertainment. Carina Sposato (Plan B Entertainment) , Peter Balm and Niall Shamma (Warp Films) serve as Co-Executive Producers. The Producer is Jo Johnson.

George (Michael Fassbender) egy szép napon azt a feladatot kapja, hogy derítse ki, ki az áruló a szervezetben. A gyanúsítottak öt fős listáján Kathryn, a felesége (Cate Blanchett) is szerepel. Megindul a két kém között a végletekig feszült macska-egér játék, ahol az alkotókat az is roppantul érdekelte, hogyan alakul a hihetetlen nyomás alá került házaspár lélektani drámája. sőt, emelik ki a filmért lelkesedő ítészek, leginkább ez áll a történet középpontjában.

Fassbendert azonnal magával ragadta a David Koepp (Jurassic Park) által írt forgatókönyv szokatlanul magas színvonala. „Először is: szembeötlő volt a karakterek fantasztikusan gazdag gyűjteménye – magyarázta a színész az IndieWire-nek. – Az is azonnal látszott, hogy olyan érettebb közönségnek szól ez a történet, amelyet nem nagyon szólítanak meg a filmek mostanában. Az események szédítő tempója is rettentő izgalmas volt a könyvben, miközben csak úgy záporoztak az okos és szórakoztató párbeszédek. Az is lenyűgözött, hogy miközben a kémfilm műfajában vagyunk, a történetet nem az akciójelenetek viszik előre, hanem a lélektani hadviselés, ami a két hihetetlenül izgalmas főhős között zajlik. Van jó pár elég erőszakos jelenet, persze, de az igazi hajtóerőt az jelenti, ahogyan ez a két páratlan intellektus összecsap és sziporkázó szócsatákat folytat.”

LUGGAGE vs BAGGAGE

Mindkét szó jelentése “csomag”, mégsem teljesen ugyanazok. Nézzük meg az alapvető különbséget, és jegyezd meg azt is, hogy mindkét szó UNCOUNTABLE, azaz nem megszámolható főnév, tehát nem lehet őket többes számba tenni. Mi van, ha mégis több csomagunk van? Ebben az esetben lehet használni a “piece” szót, tehát “I have two pieces of luggage” vagy “I have a lot of luggage.”

LUGGAGES

Az előbb már elmondtam, hogy UNCOUNTABLE, tehát nem lehet többes számba tenni, azonban egy speciális esetben mégis helyes lehet a “luggages”, mégpedig akkor, amikor többféle csomagról van szó. (Akárcsak a breads – kenyérféleségek, wines – borfajták, stb.)

Jelentésbeli különbségek: 

LUGGAGE

meaning: Refers to the suitcases, bags, or other containers you use to carry your belongings while traveling (főleg a brit angolban)
magyarul: csomag, mint gyűjtőnév – ami lehet bőrönd, táska vagy bármi más, amiben a dolgainkat visszük
example: I packed all my clothes in the luggage for the trip. – Minden ruhámat betettem a csomagba az útra.

BAGGAGE

meaning: Similar to luggage, “baggage” refers to the items you bring while traveling, but it can also carry a figurative meaning (emotional or psychological burdens).
magyarul: a „luggage” szóhoz hasonlóan csomagot jelent, de lehet átvitt értelemben is használni (például egy rossz emlék, vagy valamilyen érzelmi-pszichés dolog, ami gátol minket valamiben)
example: She had too much baggage for a one-week vacation. – Túl sok volt a csomgja egy egyhetes vakációra. VAGY He has emotional baggage from his last relationship.” – A korábbi kapcsolata „csomagját” (terhét) cipeli még. (átvitt értelemben)

What is Carry-On about?

Written by T.J. Fixman (the Ratchet & Clank video games), Carry-On follows young TSA agent Ethan (Egerton) as he fights to outsmart a mysterious traveler who blackmails him into letting a dangerous package slip onto a Christmas Eve flight.

Egerton, best known for his turn as dashing Secret Service recruit Gary “Eggsy” Unwin in the Kingsman franchise and his remarkable transformation into rock legend Elton John in Rocketman, was eager to drop the flash and slip into a more relatable character.

The high-stakes circumstances come courtesy of Jason Bateman’s sinister villain, whom Ethan initially meets as a voice through headphones that threatens his pregnant girlfriend (Sofia Carson) if he doesn’t comply with instructions.

This inspiring series, produced by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming, blending practical how-to’s and candid conversation with friends, new and old. Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected. She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, the garden, and beyond, and invite you to do the same.

Guests include: Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling, Alice Waters, with additional acclaimed chefs and special friends
Series Launch Date:
January 15, 2025
Episodes: 8 x 33 minutes

to roll up one’s sleeves
definition: to prepare for hard work: 
magyarul: feltűri az ingujját, nekifog valami nehéz munkának, feladatnak
example: There’s a lot of work to do, so roll up your sleeves and get busy. – Sok a tennivaló, úgyhogy tűrd fel az ingujjadat és fogj hozzá!

You think your life is so hard because everybody’s an idiot and you have to do everything on your own, right? Right? But guess what? You can’t. No one can. And I think you should just be happy that someone was trying to help you get through a crappy day. Even if they’re an idiot. So?

Otto: The real estate bastards are trying to force Anita and Ruben out of their home. That’s why I need to use your phone.

’Singleton’, ’30-something’ and ’big knickers’ refer to Bridget Jones

The character of Bridget was created by author and journalist Helen Fielding and was famously brought to life through four books and three movies chronicling everything from love triangles and career changes to prison stints. Now Bridget is set to return to our screens once more, 24 years after the iconic first movie Bridget Jones’s Diary was released, with the new Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy movie. Starring Renée Zellweger and Hugh Grant in their classic roles, alongside brand-new stars, the announcement of the new film has certainly got people talking.

There’s no better way to prepare for the new Bridget Jones movie than by reading all the Bridget Jones books in order.

Bridget Jones books

While the concept of the books and movies are the same, and the same characters come up, the books and movies don’t follow the exact same chronological order and plot.

Bridget Jones’s Diary

Bridget is single, she’s 30-something and is on her mission for self-improvement. She wants to advance in her career, get in shape and find love. She has two love interests: a cheeky but charming Daniel Cleaver and a reserved Mark Darcy. The question is who will Bridget choose?

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason

Bridget is in a committed relationship with Mark Darcy. Just like in any relationship Bridget begins to struggle with feelings of jealousy towards Mark’s attractive colleague and she has difficulties in her career. But the plot becomes more complicated with a secret crush, drug smuggling and a jail scene as well.

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy

Bridget is in her 50s, widowed and bringing up her two children. She has to juggle all the challenges of single parenthood, work on her career and she falls for a younger man.

Bridget Jones’s Baby: The Diaries

The final instalment in the Bridget Jones series takes a step back in time. This time, Bridget is pregnant, but she isn’t quite sure who the father is.

How many Bridget Jones movies are there?

There are currently three Bridget Jones movies: Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001), Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004) and Bridget Jones’s Baby (2016).

Is there a new Bridget Jones movie?

A fourth movie has just been announced and is expected to be based on the book titled ‘Bridget Jones: Mad About a Boy‘.

The film shares its title with the third book in the Bridget Jones novel series but the plot of the movie has not yet been confirmed.

Stars Renée Zellweger and Hugh Grant are confirmed to be returning, along with new additions Leo Woodall of One Day fame, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, star of 12 Years a Slave. However, Colin Firth is not set to reprise his role as Mark Darcy. The fourth film is set to be released on Valentine’s Day 2025 in US cinemas.
