Film and Theatre Lover!
Although it is not due for release until 2011, the first four posters for “Green Lantern” have been released. (It looks as though this is going to have a big build up). I have to admit that I have not really been keeping up to date on this film and did not realize Mark Strong was going to be in it – this has me now very excited for this film.
The third installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman franchise really is going to have a massive following and build up after the success of Batman Begins and then The Dark Knight in recreating the Batman series the third installment which is currently slated for a 2012 release, has been creating press since The Dark Knight’s credits rolled. Heath Ledger’s death which occurred before the release of The Dark Knight, the ending which had us wondering The Joker’s fate, yet we knew we would never see the character in that form again. A sad moment for so many reasons, Ledger’s Joker gained an Oscar and so much critical acclaim and was definitely one of performances of the decade if not all time. This has then all raised the very good question of which villain shall be making an appearance in this third film in the series. Apparently the answer to that question is THE RIDDLER.
The Riddler was last seen in Batman Forever portrayed by Jim Carrey, in a fun crazy way. Very light and comic book like, seemed as though he came straight from the pages of the comics these films are based on. I can’t deny that I have always loved Jim Carrey’s Riddler for the age I was when Batman Forever was released and class that film as a very guilty pleasure now. But we have already witness that Nolan’s Batman films aren’t like anything we have ever seen before, they are darker and not going for obvious laughs in a fun way. They are more serious and after what he did with The Joker, we can only begin to imagine how sinister and evil he could make The Riddler.
The fourth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean is due to land on our screens in May 2011. The major build up has begun already with Captain Jack Sparrow aka Johnny Depp, making an appearance on a teaser video at comic-con. I am very much looking forward to this film in hope that they can finish the franchise on a high after the slight disappointment of the third film. It will be interesting to see how it all works without Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swan (Keria Knightley) after the much publicized announcements that they would not be returning for the fourth film.
If you regularly read my blog you would have noticed that I had been very much looking forward to see Toy Story 3 and I eventually got the chance when it was released on Monday. As the posters were being released I had been posting them on my blog, with lots of toys here. Posters featuring our already favorite toys Woody, Buzz, Hamm, Rex, Jessie, Slink and Mr Potato Head. So I thought it was about time to post all of the posters featuring the new Toys!

After such a long wait to eventually see Toy Story 3 (11 years to be precise), I went to the cinema on Monday for the 9.10pm showing and it was pretty full with people mainly around my age, that age being . . . well the children who grew up with the first Toy Story and it certainly took us all back to our childhoods and it felt great seeing our favorite toys on another adventure.
I have now seen this trailer at the cinema a few times and think that it really does look like a good romantic comedy. Just have to hope that the funniest parts aren’t just in the trailer. It looks like it has it right!
Andy has grown up and so have we, but we still love these toys!
Six more posters have been released for Salt. They really are going for it with the pun’s of the poster actually being about salt in food as well as the movie. The poster with Angelina Jolie on is so airbrushed it’s quite unreal!
Each Monday (hopefully) a song or part from a movie musical will be blogged about. This may vary from a scene, a musical number, facts about the musical as a whole or just general chat about the musical. Occasionally comparisons maybe made between the stage show and movie version.
If you have read my blog for any length of time this will all probably come as no surprise to you and you will already know that I am a total musicals geek! I figured it would be good for me to write more about different aspects of musicals and have been trying to figure out a way to do that for quite some time now. I think this musical moments feature on a Monday is certainly the way forward for me to spend some time writing about musicals.
I know the musical genre is often only enjoyed by a select few, everyone still seems to have one musical that they actually quite like (even if they struggle to admit it). So hopefully this feature will at some point have something for everyone in the different movies that will come up! It may even encourage people to watch more musicals.
If you want something from a movie musical to be included in the feature at some point please feel free to ask!
It seems as though as I post a poster for Red another one seems to be released! I can’t help but post them especially if it features Morgan Freeman, like this one does . . .
