Today’s quote comes from Love Actually and it really is just true Christmas shopping is the worst!
“Christmas shopping, never an easy or a pleasant task.”
Today’s quote is a really cute moment from the first Home Alone film.
“Okay, this is extremely important. Will you please tell Santa that instead of presents this year, I just want my family back?”
Reports around the web today are stating that Orlando Bloom is set to return as Legolas the role which really got him noticed in The Hobbit. After the announcement of Cate Blanchett returning as Galadriel yesterday. Three more actors are in talks at reprising roles, Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Hugo Weaving as Elrond and Andy Serkis as Smeagol/Gollum.
Let’s face it though they have to get the original Lord of the Rings cast members back to reprise their roles it would not be the same if someone else had to take them on. I guess this is another reason why Peter Jackson just had to do The Hobbit too. Surely he would have no problem convincing the actors to come back again.
Filming is still scheduled to start in February 2011. So lets hope the next couple of weeks or even days brings us news of more of the LOTR cast members coming back to make appearances in The Hobbit.
Today’s quote is another from Elf, it really is a great Christmas film. The greatest insult ever!
“I’m a cotton-headed ninny-muggins.”
Could this film mark the return of Mel Gibson back to the top of the acting world? Well watching the trailer it definitely looks like an emotional journey and a very good performance from Gibson. I’m actually looking forward to this one!
Today’s quote comes from The Santa Clause . . .
“Seeing isn’t believing. Believing is seeing.”
The awards season has started to kick off the past week or so, with nominations being announced for different awards ceremonies. Well the British Independent Film awards took place last night and the big winner does not come as much of a surprise after all the publicity and hype it has received so far. The King’s Speech picked up the main awards with all three in the acting category. For the lead female Carey Mulligan picked up the award for the second year running after her star turn in An Education last year, this year has seen her pick the award up for Never Let Me Go.
I am really looking forward to seeing both The King’s Speech and Never Let Me Go as both really do look like good films, with fantastic performances. The winning of these awards really must just back that up. Looks like we will be in for some good films coming out in the New Year. Got to love the awards season!
Rest of the awards . . .
Today’s quote comes from It’s a Wonderful Life. We should all remember how much our life affects all of those around us.
“Strange, isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. When he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?
The movie quotes leading up to Christmas are all going to have a nice Christmasey feel to them! Starting off with a great quote from Buddy. Everyone’s favorite Elf!
“First we’ll make snow angels for two hours, then we’ll go ice skating, then we’ll eat an entire roll of Toll House cookie dough as fast as we can, and then to finish, we’ll snuggle!”
