Film and Theatre Lover!
New posters for “The King’s Speech” seem to keep appearing every few days. While they are not very different from the previous to be released, different words are on them. It really is getting quite a lot of Oscar buzz, with early talk suggesting that it will be nominated for all the major awards. January release for the UK and I am really looking forward to it!
Been a while since I’ve had the movie quote of the day on my blog. Today’s is the wisdom of Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.
“Well, yes mate. See, I’m dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It’s the honest ones you need to watch out for, because you never know when they’re going to do something incredibly… stupid.”
1st December which means we are now officially allowed to watch Christmas movies again (and attempt to get in the Christmas spirit). I reviewed quite a few Christmas films last year, and will probably watch most of them again this year/ After all some of them are my favorite Christmas films. Missed loads though, so be ready for more Christmas reviews if I manage to catch the films of course.
Love Actually I also started doing blogs on the love shared between characters, Billy Mack and Joe. Harry, Karen & Mia.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
Hopefully I will have some seasonal top 10 lists as well!
Which Christmas films will you be watching first this holiday season?
Being a big fan of Hilary Swank (MDB) I do always look to see which films she has coming out, just come across the poster for next years release called The Resident. Which sees her team up with Jeffrey Dean Morgan again.
The 11th rule I am adding is for those people out there that when given a seat to actually sit it . . . like row G seats 12 and 13 for example and decide to just sit somewhere else and that happens to be a seat which is already taken. Just sit in the seat that has already been allocated to you! It avoids noise and people moving about when the film is due to start!

Morning Glory is a film based on a TV show and already has quite a few posters released! Harrison Ford is starting to look very old now, get him back as Indiana Jones makes him look younger! I am quite a fan of Diane Keaton, so I will be going to see this film when it is released.
More Matt Damon posters this time for Clint Eastwood’s Hereafter.
The first poster has been released for Matt Damon and Emily Blunt’s film about a politician and a ballerina which is due for release next year.
Anne Hathaway and James Franco have today been announced as the hosts of the 2011 Oscars. It seems as though the Academy have gone down the path to have two of the hottest young actors around at the moment as both of them are in very high demand. Days after news broke of James Franco’s appearance of inside the actors studio breaking records for the most requests for tickets, that bodes very well for the Oscars getting more viewers. Anne Hathaway had a small part in Hugh Jackman’s set up a couple of years ago as well, so it won’t be all new for her.
I think it’s very positive in trying to attract a younger audience to watch the ceremony and yes I do think Franco is very nice to look at. I am sure the men out there will be very happy with Hathaway for her good looks too. Yes as shallow as that all sounds, we all know we like to watch the beautiful people. Different approach from the past couple of years, going from the musical to the comedy and well I don’t know what to call 2011’s show. I guess we will just have to wait and see!
What do you make of this announcement?
Good choices?
