Law Abiding Citizen (2009) Review
I must start this review by saying this is the best film I have seen for quite a while, and I am hoping that I will continue to say that about films in the next couple of months as we move closer to awards season.
A frustrated man decides to take justice into his own hands after a plea bargain sets one of his family’s killers free. He targets not only the killer but also the district attorney and others involved in the deal.
Eclipse (2010) Teaser Poster
Following the release of New Moon last week, and how successful at the box office it has been so far, the teaser poster for the next installment in the Twilight Saga . . . Eclipse has been released.
Nine (2009) Poster
After waiting so long for even one poster for Nine, yet another has been released! Which I think is just great, the world premiere for Nine is in London next week on the 3rd of Decemeber. So it will be interesting to see which of the actors/actresses attend the premiere.

Nine (2009) Posters
Three posters have now been released for “Nine”. This really builds up the suspense of wanting to see this movie even more. I like all three of them, as they are all different, with different pictures of the actors on them.
Meet the Parents (2000) Review
I still see this as one of my favorite comedies and cannot believe it is now 9 years old, it really does not seem like it came out that long ago!
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) Review
The second installment of what is now known as “The Twilight Saga” opened yesterday across the world in cinemas, and with my local cinema having 4 shows sold out at 11am, for the night-time showings this really is going to have some opening weekend taking across the UK. Reading mid-week that it has broken the records for most pre-ordered tickets for a movie.
27 Dresses (2008) Review
Jane (Heigl) has been a bridesmaid 27 times and never close to being the bride. She is secretly in love with her boss Geroge (Burns). When her sister Tess (Akerman) shows up and ends up on the fast track to marrying George she cannot bear to stand by her side. Kevin (Marsden) is a reporter who writes about weddings and ends up writing a story about Jane . . .
Twilight (2008) Review
The first part of the very popular Vampire novel’s made it to the big screen. With a lot of attention and fandom before it had even been filmed this was always going to be a hit. But how would those who have not read the books see the films?
Alice in Wonderland (2010) Poster
Another new poster for the much anticipated Alice in Wonderland movie has been released this one featuring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. This is my favorite poster so far, but I think more will be released.

New Moon Book Review
Well my “New Moon” challenge did not last very long at all. I have to admit that it is because as with “Twilight” when I read that last year, these books the way they are written some how consume me. I cannot really completely explain why exactly but it just happens and I really do not want to put them down. So I have two more to read being “Eclipse” and “Breaking Dawn” which I am sure will be done in the next couple of weeks.
New Moon (2009) Pictures Take 2
I posted 4 “New Moon” pictures when they were released months ago now and have totally neglected to since post more . . . but reading “New Moon” (and almost being finished it) while also seeing loads of posters at the cinema yesterday has inspired me to post more in the build up to the release next week. Which I am so excited for now I totally got back into the book!

Leap Year (2010) Poster
Just come across the poster for Amy Adams up and coming rom-com “Leap Year” which involves a tradition of a woman proposing to a man . . .
New Moon Challenge
Last night I eventually decided to continue reading “New Moon” my new found push being that the “New Moon” movie comes out next week. Of course it will not be difficult to read the book in a week. I mean since last night I have read 180 pages . . . so I could possibly be finished it over the weekend. I knew it would eventually consume me like Twilight did, were you totally do not want to put it down! I read Twilight in such quick time. I did originally start reading this straight after Twilight but got distracted with something else . . . I cannot even remember what. But I am back on track now and have Eclipse and Breaking Dawn waiting to be read as soon as I have finished New Moon.
So Far I have to admit that I am not Edward’s friend for leaving. He has totally broke my heart . . . Bare in mind that I had already read this part before. Yet reading it last night it really hurt and struck me, I suppose I do have my reasons. I cannot really stop reading it . . .
So the challenge will continue . . .
Alice in Wonderland (2010) Trailer
After seeing the new posters and mentioning seeing the trailer at the cinema the other day in 3D. I decided to go on a search on youtube to find the trailer and post in on my blog. I really do just love Johnny Depp the more and more I see him. I do find this trailer very teasing as you do not really get to see much (which is a plus) but it really leaves you wanting more.
What do you make of this trailer?
Are you looking forward to this movie?
Theatre Moment 2
The second theatre moment I am posting, is from the “Hey, Mr Producer” show which was in tribute to everything Cameron Mackintosh had done for musical theatre. This is “You Gotta Get a Gimmick” from Gypsy featuring Bernadette Peters, Julia McKenzie and Ruthie Henshall.
Alice in Wonderland (2010) Posters
Two more posters have been released for Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland”. So the build up continues for what has to be one of the movies I really cannot wait to see. Especially after seeing the trailer before “A Christmas Carol” the other day.
Wonderful World (2010) Poster
This poster for Matthew Broderick’s up and coming movie has been released. By the pictures on the poster it looks like it could be interesting. Especially with the tagline “happiness is a state of mind”.
