Men in Black 3?!

Okay yeah so sorry I haven't blogged in aaaaaggggeesss.
A Levels are taking up all my time...!

Anyway, I just watched a trailer for Men in Black 3... coming to us in May 2012!

Trailer:

IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1409024/

So yeah, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back!
It seems 'Agent J' (Will Smith) has found a device which takes him to the past and the future, this surely sets a crazy, adventurous storyline for the whole film as he tries to find his way back to his own time.
Typical that this movie would be made again, America tends to release sequels from previously successful films.
Looks fab and totally different to what they usually do.
I love the idea of a young 'Agent K' - shall be awesome.
Hope it's not rubbish when it comes out...!!

3D IS BAD.

Read this:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/filmblog/2011/nov/11/cinema-3d-video-on-demand?CMP=twt_fd

I picked this link up from someone on twitter, so i can't claim credit for finding it myself, but reading through it, it is all TRUE.
I personally HATE 3D films and i feel it is the real killer of the cinema.
That and the ticket prices and the fact people chew their popcorn really loudly :/

anyways, interesting read!

Pans Labyrinth


A truly beautifully dark and magical film.

Ofelia is a young girl with a large imagination, who loves to read her fantasy books. She escapes to an eerie but fascinating fantasty world, where the creatures in this world believe her to be the lost soul of the King's daughter, Princess Moanna.
She is set three tasks and must complete them before the full moon.
These tasks test her courage and strength and takes her to a completely different world, which she adjusts to perfectly.

I won't spoil the ending, but it is so tragic and dark, but so so beautiful. A perfect ending.

What i love most about this film is the fact that there are two completely different, opposite worlds, but each world has its own problems within them.
I also love the imagination used to create the strange creatures.
You can see a tv series such as doctor who would get ALOT of inspirtation from a film like this.

5 star rating.
loved it!

Deep Stuff...

A while ago i posted a link on here that was an interview with Corey Feldman about Pedophilia being a huge problem for Child Stars.

I was discussing this horrific information with two friends in my AS Media Studies class.

I was talking about how i think that a special charity should be set up in order to protect children going into the show business from pedophilia.
It would be a worthwhile thing that could help kids everywhere who are trying to make it in the world as famous actors.

Heres the link again: http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/corey-feldman-pedophilia-problem-child-actors-contributed-demise/story?id=14256781

Perhaps things are different in this day and age, but how can we be sure of that?

Planet of the Apes (Tim Burton 2001)


One of Tim Burton's best i think.
Particularly want to focus on the amazing make up for this film.
The make up artisits must have spent hours and hours adapting the look of an ape to bring subtle human aspects to it.
Brilliant work.
Love Helena Bonham Carter in it. She is good in every Burton film though.
The setting of the sort of community the apes live in is very Tim Burton. Not as quirky and as good as his previous work though. This might be just because this is a proper sci-fi film which can be a little different to Burton's main style of fantasy and the unusual.

Brilliant Protagonist in this film; Capt. Leo Davidson, played by Mark Wahlberg (a fine action/adventure actor to have in this film) I don't think anyone else could've played this character better than Wahlberg (controversial...)

I also just love the whole storyline. Especially the ending where it dawns on Capt. Davidson that he was on earth and it was completely taken over by apes.

This is of course a remake of the 1968 Plant of the Apes.
I am yet to see the original actually! I cannot wait to see it though. But this is an excellent Tim Burton film!

Leon and No Country for Old Men

Will be watching LEON and NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN this weekend!
Review shall follow possibly the monday/tuesday. keep a look out!

IMDb (Leon) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110413/
IMDb (No Country for Old Men) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477348/

I'm particularly looking forward to No Country for Old Men. Particularly because it is a film made because of the novel by Cormac McCarthy.

Dude where's my car?! (quick response)


THIS FILM IS EPIC.
again, my boyfriend was shocked that i had not seen this film (i actually feel quite disgusted with myself that i had not seen it before)

It's a film full of silly, funny hilarity.
You come away with from this film with the famous catch phrase 'dude where's my car?' in your head forever.

Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scoot play two loveable, but very dense party animals, Jesse and Chester.
They find themselves in horrific and hilarious situations whilst on a quest to find their car.

Such random stuff just happens that is totally out of this world (literally)
a film for people who generally like comedy and don't tend to take life too seriously...
