A twenty one year old blogger, who's living her life in South London. 'The Babble Emporium' serves to be a hub of fashion, music and film activity- if it's important it'll be here.
With a cast full to the brim of A-list stars we knew we’d be in for a treat with this one- and after what feels like years we finally have our first ‘Les Mis’ trailer. Hallelujah!
Is anybody else surprised at the tone of Anne Hathaway’s voice? It’s a far cry out from the typical powerhouse renditions of ‘I Dreamed A Dream’, but Anne’s ‘hush hush’ approach suits Fantine’s frail nature in the musical; and it gets my approval for sure. Any other musical fans out there that are looking forward to a bit of big screen Les Mis action?
Being a big ‘Moulin Rouge’ fan, to say that I was excited when I heard that Baz Luhrmann was directing ‘The Great Gatsby’ would be the understatement of the year. His quirky directing style made Moulin Rouge what it was, and with the GG supporting similar themes to the MR (ie- forbidden love, rebellion etc) it has the potential to be AMAZING.
And guess what? The trailer doesn’t disappoint in the slightest! It looks like it’s going to make spectacular viewing, that’s for sure…
I have a confession to make; something which shocked my best friends beyond belief when I revealed all the other day. Before the weekend, I’d never seen Men In Black! Dreadful, I know. Luckily I was redeemed on Sunday as Channel 4 played the first one- so HURRAH for that. My film soul has been resurrected from a dark dark place; phew.
But if you’re after my opinion, the tune for MIB III (which is out in all good cinemas in the next couple of weeks, folks) doesn’t have a patch on Will Smith’s epic rap fest circa ‘97. If you’d like to be reminded of the ‘oh so good’ times, please feel free to click on this perfectly placed link here which will take you to YouTube/our Homeboy Smith. You’re welcome.
Back onto this Pitbull fiasco though, erm- what was the boy thinking?! Remixing an old Dirty Dancing classic (think: dancing scene, floor, miming?) into a modern MIB feast? Who’s he trying to repeat, the Black Eyed Peas? Please. Already been done pal. So as you can see, I’m not happy. Sure it’s catchy, but not in a good ‘I’m a ninja’ way that a MIB soundtrack song should be. Suppose we’ll just have to deal with this one, but on the plus side the film is out on the 25th of May- will you all be tuning in?
After the rip roaring success of the ‘Avengers Assemble’ UK release over the weekend, it’s almost a sure fire guarantee that TDKR will take the box office by storm come July. Doesn’t it look spectacular?!
Being a theatre lover through and through, the film adaptation of ‘Les Miserables’ intrigues me. Granted, ‘Les Mis’ isn’t my favourite of the prestigious pack (my heart belongs to Phantom and Wicked I’m afraid)- but there’s certainly no denying that the longest serving West End musical has one heck of a soundtrack!
With A-List’s aplenty lined up to play the main roles in the flick, and I’m talking Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway with her crop (both seen above) Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, Sacha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter et more, it’s bound to be a spectacle to remember. This week, the crew have been filming near the Greenwich Maritime museum in London too! So, are any of you excited for a bit of Les Mis action later this year? And what do you think of Anne’s new do? (Kudos to her, I say!)
‘Skyfall’ is due to grace the cinema’s from November, which frankly is bloody ages. This little update however, which shows off some of the amazing locations the film is being set, is a real excitement builder. Considering it’s Mr Craig in the drivers seat once again, I reckon it’ll be worth the (extensive) wait.
So, round three of Daniel ‘hot stuff’ Craig- yes, or no?! Was that a trick Q or what; BRING IT ON, Bond.
In my humble opinion, this clip oversteps the line of ‘I am cheesey superhero flick’ by quite the substantial margin. I’d be interested to see how the reviews shape up when the film premieres in the US next week…
Missed Katy Perry’s ‘California Dreams’ tour last year? Unlucky (I was also one of those!). But seeing as though we’ll be able to catch all of the action in ’Part of Me 3D’, which will serve as the 3D concert movie, I think we can all say that this is a GOOD thing. Go, Pezza!
For gifting the world with the amazing ‘Shrek’ back in 2001, Dreamworks will always have a special place within my heart. I can’t say that most of their other efforts were specifically my cup of tea (Bee Movie? Over The Hedge? Shark Tale? REALLY?!) but when I saw the synopsis for the above film, ‘Rise of the Guardians’, I couldn’t have been more bewildered.
It’s strange. It’s weird. Can they pull it off? I’m not so sure. In my experience I’ve always found that Pixar have been far superior in creating films out of far flung topics, so I’m not sure how this one- which concerns the Easter Bunny, Santa and the like, will fare. Only time will tell!
