I wanted this blog's words to look like they had a similiar look to Rolling Stone Magazine as that Magazine is to me a god like magazine. I also wanted this blog to be like me with fresh, new and exciting news about all things music and film based.
It feels like ages since I last posted anything on here, sorry it's been sooo long but I just got into the festive mood and a lot has happened.
You may or may not have heard but Hugh Jackman is going to be in the prequal sequel to X:Men First Class, X:Men Days of Future Past, using Twitter to gather excitement for this film by saying that:
" (he would) like to welcome @RealHughJackman to the cast of #XMen Days Of Future Past. Very excited! More to come..."
This "more to come..." sounds ominous to me but it definitely has piqued my interest into there being more movie news on this film which has already released this still which I read is from a flashback of Logan/Wolverine's where he has bone claws. To be honest I have only seen the cartoon series of the X:Men that used to be on CBBC and I didn't think that Wolverine had bone claws...so when I saw The Big Bang Theory the other day and Sheldon and Howard Walowitz were having an argument about whether Wolverine had bone claws or not and I saw Sheldon show that Wolverine had in the comic books bone claws I couldn't believe that the next day there was this still from the film "The Wolverine" which is released on the 25th 2013 in the UK up on Empire Magazine's website...well you live and learn something new everyday I think!
This though I can imagine is the first of a lot more news on this movie to come and with the UK release date of X:Men Days Of Future Past being the 18th July 2014 this I can't wait for...check IMDb.com for other countries release dates:
I just saw this and I have to say that I'm not sure of what to make of this piece of news as it's exciting to hear that Hugh Jackman who has played Logan/Wolverine in all the X:Men films so far including a cameo role in X:Men: First Class is reported to be in talks to return to this role for the sequel to First Class X:Men: Days Of Future Past.
But here's where my excitement ends as according to The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision Blog this sequel X:Men:Days Of Future Past will feature actors from the first X:Men film which saw Magneto and co. kidnapping Rogue so as to transfer his power to her so as to make everybody that was human an X:Man so as everybody could be equal, and that The Hollywood Reporter Heat Vision Blog also reported that on Monday Brian Singer who directed the first two X:Men films announced that Sir Ian McKellan who played Magneto in the first two as well as Gandalph the Great in The Hobbit which I read the other day on the BBC website that New Zeland for the premiere of the film there turned the location for this to the opening of a Hobbit House in The Shire and rebranded its self for the evening as the Middle of Middle Earth which I thought was amazing and that it must have looked really spectacular, is coming back to this X:Men film as well as Patrick Stewart who played Charles Xavier in the first two films....but I just thought that both in the comic books and in the second X:Men film which was on recently on E4 Charles Xavier (the one played by Patrick Stewart) had been killed off.
If your not sure what the story for X:Men:Days of Future Past is then I'll fill you in this according to The Hollywood Reporter Heat Vision Blog is a story that unfolded over two issues of Marvel Comic Books called "The Uncanny X:Men" in 1981 that was written by Chris Claremont and came from the artists John Byrne and Terry Austin. The story was set in partially in an alternate future partially in the present. In the alternate future surviving mutants had been rounded up and put into concentration camps and giant robots called "Sentinels" patrolled America and most of the X:Men had been hunted down and killed.
This has kind of already been done in the X:Men TV show Alphas where from the trailers that I keep seeing of the new series all the mutants were rounded up and put in a maximum security prison and then the government wanted them out so as to help fight crime and reband with the team leader who played Noah Vosa in The Bourne films as the Charles Xavier character so as to stop the Magneto character led group of rogue mutants from creating crime.
In the present day the X:Men were forced to stop a key event from happening in order to make sure this alternate future didn't happen.
Oh I get it now! You could put Nicholas Hoult (Hank) who has got another film coming out which is suppose to fill the gap left by Twilight "Warm Bodies" where he plays a zombie and falls in love with a human here is the second trailer for it:
Michael Fassbender (Young Magneto), James McAvoy (Young Charles) and Jennifer Lawrence (Raven/Mystique) in the past part and then but Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan in the present But still how on earth are you going to revive Patrick Stewart's character after Jean Gray's split personality The Pheonix ripped him to shreds.
Warm Bodies is coming out over in the UK in 8th February 2013 go to IMDb to see the other release dates for other countries.
Speaking of films that are suppose to fill the gap left by Twilight there is a film coming out called "Beautiful Creatures", I heard ages ago about this film which does to me sound very much like Twilight but the only different is that it's the girl this time that is the mysterious one and not the guy. In this film the story is that Ethan wants to get out of town but then he meets Lena (mysterious one) who is a witch.
Here is the second trailer for this movie which according to IMDb.com comes out in the UK on 13th February 2013 go to the IMDb page to see the release dates for other countries.
And finally the other filler for the Twilight gap is The Host, the trailer has finally come out for it and it looks like a few of the things that go on in the book have been changed...Thank God! as my opinion of the book was that it was dull as dishwater! Here is the trailer for you to peruse:
According to IMDb.com this is due for release in the UK on the 29th March 2013, look at the IMDb page to find other country release dates.
X:Men Days of Future Past is out over here on the 18th July 2014.
I just wanted to put this film trailer up because I saw it the other day and it's new...it's a first official trailer for Hansel and Gretel (not sure if I've spelt this right but watch and enjoy anyway):
This is out over here in the UK on the 15th March 2013.
I saw this headline on Entertainment Weekly "Harry Potter: Page to Screen:The Complete Filmaking Journey" and I have to say that I was curious to see what this new latest Harry Potter spin off merchandise was, as you'll all be aware by now there is at the moment the Wonderbook for the Playstation which comes with a wand and lets kids imagine their at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry.
But now according to EW.com Amazon USA has brought out a $1,000 collector's edition of eight volumes of books that show the journey from book to cinema screen with six of these book detailing the work behind the scenes from the creative departments-wardrobe, props department, special effects etc- and the seventh book detailing the relationships that developed between the cast and the crew over the period of time that it took to make these films, each of these books has been designed to look just like some of the books found in the library at Hogwarts and it even comes with a to scale replica of "The Monster Book Of Monsters",-this is the book that looks like a monster and in one of the movies got opened by Ron I think and tried to bite him who opened it but then ran under his bed and had to be put back together by Hermione-.
This collectors edition of books doesn't officially come out until December 4th 2012.
I do have to confess that I have read these books and I have to say that I remember queuing up for the last book in the series with my dad and there were hundreds of people there some little kids with their parents wearing fancy dress which I thought was cute but then when you see grown ups like 30, 40 year olds really going the whole hog wearing full Dementer outfits, or full Harry Potter outfits or even Quidditch outfits with broomstick it get's weird and looks very wrong!
But despite me not being a fan of J.K Rowling the creator of this series I do think this is a really cool idea of having books that look like they've come from the library of Hogwarts but I think that the coolest part of this is getting the replica of the Monster book.
The other day I was perusing Facebook and I saw that The Script have
just put up on their Facebook Page the official video for their next
song "6 Degrees Of Seperation":
I bought this album from my local Morrison's when it first came out
and I liked this song as well as the song they did with Will.i.am and I
really liked the video to it showing the same story but from two
completely different sides, and I love some of the lyrics in some of the
songs like in "If you Ever Come Back" I love the lyric "I'll be there
with a smile on my face and the kettle on", and in "Long Gone and Moved
On" I love the lyric "The Elephant in the Room Keeps Scaring Off the
Guests".
I love the video for these songs and I loved
their first album but I do have to admit that although I am a big fan of
The Script I didn't like it as instantly as I liked their first and
second album but this song I did instantly like...I know that this might
anger some other Script fans but I'm just being honest! Anyhew...I love
this video and I can't wait for when the next series of The Voice as I
really thought that Danny on this show was really good at being a mentor
to the contestants and I did like the spinning chairs!
I
saw this video a couple of weeks ago, I really like this song and I do
have to be honest and I saw Vince from the Voice's first song the other
day and I think this one is a grower but I think that these two are
really good songs for their first songs after the voice...I have to say
though that I think that Tyler's is maybe a little bit better but
they're bound to do really good songs with Will.i.am and Jessie J being
their mentors on the show, as I was in my local HMV the other day with
my dad and we bought the platinum edition of Jessie J's album and I have
to say that I love the album and all the different types of songs on
there.
And of course Will.i.am's songs are fantastic as
well as LMFAO's album which he produced...this is an album that if you
haven't got it yet I urge you to get it!
I
saw Tyler James's video a couple of weeks ago and I was really
surprised that this track wasn't being played on the radio...this could
of course might have been just me not hearing it on any radio stations
when I have been out not even Wessex FM which is the Heart Radio of
Dorset that played everybodies songs that was involved with The Voice
i.e Jessie J's songs got played a lot, The Black Eyed Peas tracks and
Will.i.am's got played, The Script etc but I would have thought that
everyone would want to play these tracks as they're probably the first
people from the show including Bo Bruce to have songs out....but where
is the actual winner of the show Leanne? Pardon the pun but this is
unusual for a winner of a show not to have at least something out?
I
really like this song and I have to admit that this is one that I have
been Youtubeing a lot after and in the middle of working.
The other day I saw this video with Stooshi, Fazer from NDubz, Angel and Tyler James song "I Wish I belonged to love" I thought it was way better than the Girls Aloud song "Something New" which was made the official Children In Need Song which is them just walking up and down in a line and shouting and a dance beat with as few a words and verses for them to sing as possible...and a few of you may disagree here but when they performed this on the night of Children In Need it seemed to me a mess as Sarah Harding and Nadine Coil looked sooo thin really emaciated looking and you could see how small both their arms, legs and faces were as both looked really thin their cheekbones were visible, I had to look away as it looked too painful to watch.
Whoever was the hairstylist and dresser of this band was on the night looked to me like they both needed to be sacked as all of their hair looked like it was really bedheady and that it had just been put up into ponytails to hide it! And the orange puff dresses they were wearing seemed to me to have highlighted Nadine Coil and Sarah Harding's thinness.
Not really the sort of roll models you want for your kids, me thinks!
I heard yesterday Biffy Clyro's new song "Black Chandelier", and I love it! I was thinking though after I heard it yesterday that it sounded a bit like "Boom Blast and Ruin" from their fantastic last album "Only Revolutions" which when I first bought it I could not stop playing it which probably drove my parents nuts! I think when the album "Opposites" comes out on 28th January 2013 which you either pre-order now from HMV.com the Deluxe 3 CD edition for £13.00 or you can pre-order the 1 CD edition for £9.00...but I was just thinking as I'm a big fan of the band what if you had the normal 1CD edition and then they decided to release a song that was on the 2 CD of the 3 CD edition you'd feel that you should have just brought the deluxe edition from the very start!
I saw Vince from the Voice's first song the
other day and I think this one is a grower but I think that these two
are really good songs for their first songs after the voice...I have to
say though that I think that Tyler's is maybe a little bit better but
they're bound to do really good songs with Will.i.am and Jessie J being
their mentors on the show, as I was in my local HMV the other day with
my dad and I bought the platinum edition of Jessie J's album and I have
to say that I love the album and all the different types of songs on
there.
And of course Will.i.am's songs are fantastic as
well as LMFAO's album which he produced...this is an album that if you
haven't got it yet I urge you to get it!
I've put up here the Radio 1's Live Lounge of Alex Claire's "Too Close" as I heard this being played in the background of the brand spanking NEW! Carluccio's restaurant that is already part of the NEW! Brewery Square development in the heart of Dorchester, Dorset where they're is already a ODEON Cinema, going to be a Nandos, Pizza Express, Wagamama, Cafe Rouge, Hobbs, offices and apartments, and I do have to say that since this new Carluccio's has opened I have become a bit of a regular with their fantasticly two types of coffee that you can choose between either a rich blend or a smooth blend...I love the rich blend as well as the fantasticly chocolate covered arabica bean the coffee comes with. Also I love and can't get enough of the homemade cakes especially the chocolate covered fudge cake or as I am a huge fan of Canoli I can't resist popping my head in to have a couple of these...so if you ever get the chance to go to a Carluccio's I strongly suggest that you see if they have got either a Canoli or a chocolate fudge cake or Calamari and you have some with the rich blended coffee...would it be too much to say here Bellisima!
Canoli if you haven't heard of this is a brandy snap filled with ricotta cheese it sounds not very much but if you have one you'll want another I promise you that!
Anyhew...I see I have gone on a rant again. When I first heard this I thought it was really relaxing and really chilled, and I loved the piano part of it the song it made me think of Coldplay's "Clocks", I did like Coldplay when they first started out and I even bought their album "Parachutes" but now I'm not so keen on them.

I
first heard about this amazing clothing line from The Dead Famous on
Twitter that had done an acoustic version of their amazing "Hide Your
Halo" for Cheer Up Clothing's Tee Room sessions (sort of their version
of the Live Lounge), and all these clothes including the amazingly
snugly looking new hats and the hoodies look very cool even the accessories like the cushions and the badges as well as some very cool looking notebooks and other things that they are going to be bringing out in time for Christmas look very cool with a sort of Urban Outfitters vibe to them I think.
I was really exited to see that even Jamie Lang in the episode of Made In Chelsea when they go to Dorset when they
are renting the Pensylvanian Castle in Portland, Dorset was wearing one of Cheer Up Clothings Hoodies, these look really nice. I think that this might be another cool website that can help me out with what to get people for Christmas!
Here below is the link for the castle which the Made In Chelsea cast stayed in case you want to have a little perusal at it.
I saw this video the other day of Daley ft. Jessie J "Remember Me" and I love this track but then it got me thinking of who sang the original version of it, now that I have found it thanks to the miracle of Youtube "Blueboy-Remember Me"I can stop hearing this version of Daley's cover version blaring in my head every time I'm listening to Daley ft Jessie J.
I thought that I'd split these next few posts into 2 parts seeing as there was a lot that I wanted to post about so here is part 1...hope you enjoy!
I've put here Marina and the Diamonds new song "How To Be A HeartBreaker" and one of hers that I heard on The Vampire Diaries "Fear and Loathing", I don't really like the bands music so much anymore thanks to their last song "Premadonna Girl", I just thought that the dance track that was on this song really didn't suit their sound and now that I think of this it looks like this band have turned out like Gabriella Chilmea has as she had a fantastic song "Upside Down" that got used for a Sure Advert and I loved the song but then all of a sudden her sound changed and she went from cool sounding to really shit pop, -I think this probably changed as sales of her song or album weren't probably doing too good-, and now I think she has fallen into the oblivion of celebrity never to be heard of again.
I was just thinking this as I loved their song "I Am Not A Robot" but now I have gone off them and when I heard this song on The Vampire Diaries I thought this sounded promising and the only real reason I've put this song up on this blog post is because I heard this on The Vampire Diaries and wasn't really sure at first whether it was or wasn't Marina and The Diamonds but after I had YouTubed it I found out that I was right.
This is sadly the last song from Ed Sheeran's debut album and thanks to the wonders of Ed Sheeran's mailing list I saw the video for this song the other day on his Facebook Page, I love the story of the video and it's cupid idea, I love this song from the moment I heard it on The Vampire Diaries...I have to say though that this has got stuck in my head thankfully and whenever I am on Youtube this is one of the top 5 of songs along with Linkin Park songs and many more that I have to listen to either after or during work as I just can't get enough of this video,and whenever I listen to it it really does make me smile.
I know this sounds bad but although I think that Ed Sheeran is amazing for what he has achieved with his debit album I still haven't got a copy of his album yet, yes I do realise that many fans of Ed will at this moment be shouting "Why The Hell not", well I'll tell you I would never hear the end of it from everyone in my family as they aren't massive fans of him as I am, they already think that the amazingly chilled and must have album that I feel really sorry that got nominated for a Mercury Music Prize but didn't win Michael Kimunka is depressing...so despite me liking it they'd say this was probably depressive...but I do have to say that I think that he is a ginger genius!
The same can be said for The Lumineers "Hey Ho" I heard this song also on The Vampire Diaries and I thought who sings this and thankfully the first break in the show was an advert to buy this album on Itunes and now it just seems to be everywhere and on every advert...now that I think about it this song is going the same way as Pheonix's "1901" which I absolutly love and bought the album after hearing this song as I loved it soo much and after hearing it once on NME TV it was on every single advert, so hopefully fingers crossed the album is just as good as Pheonix's Wolfgang Amadeus Pheonix album and gets picked up by Rollingstone Magazine's as one of the must own albums list.
But I do have to admit that at first I wasn't completely sold on it, but now after hearing thousands of times thanks to it being on every TV advert its grown on me and I now really like it and am seriously considering getting the album on the back of this song! Can't Wait!
The other day when I was perusing MTV USA it came up on their Top 10 most popular stories that Green Day had recorded "The Forgotten" for the last film in the Twilight set of films and automatically as I am a fan of Green Day and think that some of the Twilight films like the forst one have some really good song in it like Paramore's "Decode" and "Magic", Muse's "Neutron Star Collider" and "You Belong To Me", Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years" etc, but yesterday on the music channel 4 Music they put together all these amazing tracks from each of the films and I thought this was an amazing idea and why had no one else thought of doing this until now as for the first time including this track I could sit down and listen to all of the tracks that I'd either not heard like Death Cab For Cutie "Meet Me At The Equinox",-I can't beleive I haven't heard this track before as I really like their music ever since I heard "Cath"- or had heard.
Anyhew...I was listening to this track on MTV USA and I have to say although I I love Green Day and sad to hear that recently they had to cancel some of their tour dates as Billy Rae the lead singer has gone into rehab for substance abuse, and even though Basketcase is still one of my all time favourite songs of theirs I thought that it was a bit too slow and I had to stop listening to it after about 15 minutes of it as I thought "I can't sit here listening to this"...I thought that I was judging the song way too harshly at first but then when I watched this chart and saw it again for the second time I still thought the same.
Anyhew...while I was perusing the internet the other day I stumbled onto some good news if you are like me and like the films but aren't a Twihard or even if you are this news will still be good news, I saw on the official Twilight website that Stephanie Meyer was reported as saying in an interview that she had been thinking of writing some books using the characters Jacob and Renesemee (if you haven't read the books like me then you won't know that Jacob imprints on Renesemee Bella and Edward's daughter, this is a shape shifter thing that means that when one of these shape shifters sees a girl or boy that they like they'll do anything and be anything to be in that persons life)
This when I read it made me think straight away that this is someone who can't let go of a series of films, and that they are just desperate to keep the money rolling inbut I just thought if your raking in a ton of money from this like J.K Rowling then why not see what else you can get out of it!
Also talking about the music of these films Christina Perri who wrote "A thousand years" for the first part of Breaking Dawn has been asked to do an extended version of this song for the secons part of Breaking Dawn as the people loved her song so much the first time.

Yesterday I was in Bristol and every shop has just seemed to started Christmas shopping already I couldn't believe this as it's still November and not even anywhere near the 25th as this is when I and am surely many other people go and do their Christmas present buying, but anyway I walked past the jewellry counter in the John Lewis department store and everything was James Bond inspired, I.e many of the necklaces that I saw on display were either designed in a love knot style that Vesper wore in Casino Royal which thanks to my new favorite website that is about everything Bond from the gadgets, jewelry, the cars, drinks, the clothes to the destinations that Bond travels was designed by Sophie Hartley who uses a lot of ancient symbols and motifs are the inspiration for a lot of her designs and you can see them all here at this link:
http://www.sophieharley.com/collection.php?id=1
I have to say that the next day after I'd seen Casino Royal I went on a shopping trip with my sisters and everywhere we went and in every jewelry section there was some variation of this and even now their still doing this.
I also noticed that a lot of the other jewelry that was on display had been designed to look like the New Swarovsky Collection that has been specifically designed for Skyfall that Berenice Mahloe wears with her holsten dress that was designed by costume designer Janey Ternime who has said about the design of the dress which she wears in the casino at Macau where she meets James Bond for the first time as:
"I knew I wanted to create a bespoke crystal Tattoo effect for Severine's dress. We applied the crystal tattoos , with over 60,000 Swarovski elements , onto very fine tulle for the arms, neckline, back and sides of the dress accentuating Severine's exquisite figure".
She wears from this Collection a Black Bamboo Pendent, Black Bamboo Pierced Earrings and a Queen Cobra Ring that also comes in a double ring meaning that you can if you want to wear this ring on two fingers these were designed by Stephan Webster, this Collection although I had read on this website that this was going to be worn in the movie and I was excited to see it when I saw it although these are small looking pieces that look simply designed they are really very effective in being small but also looking really stand out pieces of jewelry that don't take anything away from the fantastically designed dress.
I think as well with this website, pieces of clothing and jewelry looking like they've been inspired by Skyfall and the movie being out near to Christmas everyone will be going crazy for something that is Bond inspired and I have to say that I think this is fantastic as right now I am panicking with what to give for Christmas presents this year so with this website I think that it might just come in handy with ideas for this!
I realise I have just ranted on about this website but I think it's amazing all be it making me look like a complete and utter James Bond nut job but everyone including me loves James Bond as everything from fashion, shoes to jewelery is inspired by Bond i.e the tailored look is everywhere now from men and women's shirts, men and women's jackets and coats, men suits and women's trouser suits, men's shoes there seems to be a lot of high rise boots out at the minute and from all the big named fashion houses like Boss, Timberland, Ralph Lauren etc.
Also I fantastic website that was the original tailor to James Bond is Anthony Sinclair, this is also I must visit website with it's Conduit Cut being the style of tailoring that was done on the first Bond's with it's slightly flared skirt, firm but natural shoulder, roped sleeve head, full chest and suppressed waist these were the first suits that for me went with the Aston Martin's...perfect partners!
This is really cool for me and is definitely something that you should check out!

I've this link up to the place in Portland in Dorset where Made In Chelsea cast stayed and this looks amazing and may just help me out with deciding what the hell to do for my birthday this year!
"Show Her" is from the French band "Oh Dear Vegas", I loved this song when I first heard it on Soundcloud and from their I bought the album with their other fantastic songs such as "Modern Love", "In the Morning" and many others, I absolutly love this album and cannot get enough of it, when I first got my hands on the album I was just as excited if not more so than when Mads Langers album "Behold" came from Amazon and straight away I had to listen to it. I instantly loved all the songs on the album but this I have to say is still my favourite and I have to say that for a couple of months after this I listened to it everyday no matter if I was feeling down, angry or otherwise.
This album is a must own and a must listen to band as you will be juat as hooked as I was from the first song that you hear!
The other day I was also listening to TheFlyingSpaghettiMonster band that I've just started following on Soundcloud and these are fantastic, apart from their name being one of the most brilliant names for a band that I have ever heard their song "Too Much" I love. Everytime I listen to it it always makes me think of Babyshambles's "8 Dead Boys", and now I have had a little listen to it now towards the end of this song before the guitar solo the vocalist sounds a little bit like Pete Doherty.
These like The Begbies are from Scotland but these are from Glasgow and not West Lothian.
Anyhew you should definitly check these guys out, the other day I had a little listen to The Begbies "Ashleigh" and this just sounds like to me like you could just put it on at a party and have a fantastic time to it! I've just realised that I haven't put on here where you can go to check these guys out, sorry about this, if you go on soundcloud.com and go on their profile page.
This morning when I was looking at Facebook and seeing on Vin Diesels's Facebook Page that there was an image that could suggest that he's back for another xxx movie.
According to a report that was published FirstShowing.net on September 15th 2008 Sony have decided to bring this as well as Rob Cohen who directed "The Mummy:Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor",- which I have to admit that this was a bad film that was not as good as the first but still watchable- as well as Vin Diesel (I have to be honest this XXX film with Vin Diesel in was a lot better than the second one with Ice Cube) to make another XXX movie which is said to be titled "XXX:Return Of Xander Cage".
But FirstShowing.net does say that both Rob Cohen and Vin Diesel haven't signed any contracts yet so at this point it would just seem like talk between Sony, Vin Diesel and Rob Cohen.
But then again if the Facebook Page is to be believed then it would suggest with the words "yeah some things are inevitable" and "welcome to the zander zone" it sounds like to me that this is something that will enevitably happen.
But hold your horses on this as there is none yet whose in the hot seat to write the script for this yet.
So keep your fingers crossed that this becomes more than an idea of Sony's and that it will come into a cinema near you as soon as possible.
I feel like it's been ages since I last did a post on here and I apologise for this, but here it is Assasin's Creed the game you may or may not know is getting adapted for the big screen and for a while now whenever I see the adverts for these games I always think that it looks like it could be made into a film and I was thinking the other day that with the new release of Muse's 2nd Law album track 6 off this album that was produced by Nero would be amazing for this.
Anyhew....According to Empire Magazine this film is no longer going to be at Sony as these talks broke down according to Empire Magazine becauseUbisoft wanted to maintainmore creative control over this, but worry not game fans this has got a new studio backing from New Regency and will get distributed by Fox.
CEO of Ubisoft has said that now there is another studio for this film he hopes that everything will be in place for cameras to start rolling in the summer of 2013.
And with Michael Fassbender playing the leading role of Miles/Altair/Ezio this could be the last pieces of the puzzle to make this get it finally made and off the shelf! YAY!
From the first time I heard that Sin City was on the cards to be made into a film I was really excited but now with this new news thanks to The Hollywood Reporter with more news on this it makes it seem like Sin City 2 is moving on a pace.
According to the Heat Vision Blog on The Hollywood Reporter website some of the cast from the first movie are coming back for this one: Jessica Alba, Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson (she in the last film was head of the prostitutes in Old Town that was going out with Dwight who was played by Clive Owen), also they say that they've got sources that say that Clive Owen will be returning to play Dwight...
But with the script that Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller have written which is a combination of comic book storylines especially "A Dame To Kill",-the events in this story take place before and after some of the events in the first Sin City)-, where Clive Owen's character has facial surgery and appears as a new man...this means that there will definitely be at least one new face that will be in the cast.
Also if your like me and you don't really know the story of "A Dame To Kill" then I'll help fill in the blanks...its stroyline was that a man called Dwight gets himself involved in a complicated and deadly relationship with a femme fetal named Ava.
Jamie King who was in the first movie who played the golden haired prostitute that Mickey Rourke's character Marv was in love with she is set to return as Goldie's twin sister who if your like me and you've seen this movie you'll know that when Goldie gets killed Wendy goes looking for whoever killed her and when Marv goes to her house to find out the same thing as Wendy she automatically assumes that it was him that killed her sister...but then she falls in love with Marv and he then dies by going to the electric chair...so like me your probably thinking how on earth are they going to bring Mickey Rourke's character back from the dead and I was thinking that whatever the storyline for this is it has to be a convincing one...not like the storyline in Tim Burton's Batman the storyline of how Harvey Dent became Two Face was that he was in court and he got a pot of coffee thrown at him.
Another newcomer is Jamie Chung is going to replace Devon Aoki who in the first film played Miho who killed Jack the policeman who was going out with waitress from the bar where Jessica Alba's character dances on the bar as a cowgirl.
According to Heat Vision Miho plays a key role in finding double dealing Ava. It also says that apart from this casting for other major parts in this film is still taking place so this sounds like to me that the other characters of Wendy, Marv, Nancy Callaghan and the other returning cast members characters might just have bit parts in this movie.
Also I was reading that the release date for this is 4th October 2013.
I've been buying a lot CD's and DVD's lately some I have to say are a lot better than others such "Snow White and The Huntsman" and "Dark Shadows" as I thought that with all the hype around Snow White that I'd have a little look at it regardless of the many bad reviews from people....and now I've seen it I don't know why I didn't listen to it!
I watched it with my family and we were all just sat there thinking "WTF...What Story is this?" because it was really really as removed from the Disney story as possible but it did have elements from the Disney one like it had dwarves in, an enchanted forest, the poisoned apple, and a wicked witch played by Charliz Theron.
I do have to say though that the best part of the film was the CGI Mirror that comes off the wall in Ravina (the wicked witch's) chamber and comes to life.
The new story of Snow White is that Snow White's father after her mother dies goes into battle against an army that is created using magic and after this army gets defeated he comes across what he believes is a prisoner, Ravina and he quickly marries her but even going down the aisle she isn't happy and sees other young beautiful women around her including the young snow white. After this she kills snow white's dad with a dagger to the heart ranting that men ruin women and that they use them and when their done they throw them aside. Then she welcomes into the castle her brother's magical army after she's killed the king and so the castle get's burned and ransacked so then as time has gone on snow has been locked up in what I think is an ok tower as she has a sizable fireplace and a bed with a small window to let in the light as well as some Gladiator style figureens that I think are suppose to represent her mother and father, but these look more like stick figureens like twigman in Tropic Thunder than the wax figureens in Gladiator.
And that it one day takes a bird to show her that there is a nail sticking out of the tower that's been there the whole time for her to finally escape from the tower, she then runs into the enchanted forest which is a lot scarier than the Disney version but here is where the scene stealing begins....like in Twilight where she tries to run after Edward after he's told her he's breaking up with her and she then gets lost and trips and falls onto the floor of the forest and curls up into a ball and stays there until she gets found, this happens again once she's in the forest as it starts turning into all the things that she is scared of, for example branches turn into deadly snakes that when she leans on them start to crawl on her, but this time she falls asleep curled up into a ball.
The dwarves as well aren't like the Disney ones they were miners but now they have just become thieves like Chris Hensworth's Huntsman who already knows theses not so dwarvish dwarves (Nick Frost, Ray Winstone, Ian McShane (Lovejoy) ) and from then on all Kristen Stewart's Snow White does is run from Ravina's weirdo brother who is hunting her and Chris Hensworth just getting drunk but doing most of the fighting with axes's.
Also there is no continuity in this as when they come across a camp of women who have scarred themselves on purpose so that they can raise their families in peace without Ravina wanting them so as to like in the Mummy open up her mouth and suck the youth out of girls so as to make herself youthful and beautiful she gets a strand of hair braided but then later on in the movie she has a huge fishtail braid going down the left side of her neck.
Then comes the bit in the movie when Snow White has rallied the troops and is leading an army to fight Ravina but when the camera cuts between Ravina and the army it makes it look that Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart are in two different movies as here is where the scene stealing continues as all of Snow White's army ride onto a beach just like in Robin Hood and also in Robin Hood when they reach the gates of the castle big vats of tar gets pulled down onto the army of snow white.
But after all this here is where Snow White does her first bit of fighting she pushes someone outo f the way to face off with Ravina in her chamber but even here she seems to not be a very good fighter with Ravina keep throwing her around but then she helps her win the fight by burning herself and shouting how Snow White can't kill her and that she has lived thousands of lives, but then steps out of the fire still ranting that she need to only to live one more by taking the heart of Snow White but what a inevitable ending where she stabs her with a dagger like the Huntsman tells her earlier on in the movie that when your backed into a corner and have no choice but to kill someone you need to drive a dagger home into their body and see into their eyes, into their soul so she does that and then she inevitably ends up as queen but at her ceremony she is holding a twig of a tree supposedly this is the mark of her family crest.
All in all this is a disappointing film that looks like Charlize Theron was trying to get something out of like an award but all she managed to do was look ridiculous especially with the plaster of paris bath she has that has no reason to be in the film and I can't think why on earth this was put in the film other than to fill the movie.
I just bought my copy of this months Empire Magazine and this was inside the front cover, and now I've been on Microsoft's website to see this bad boy in more detail, I have to say that I really like how with Microsoft Type Cover this is a cover as well as a keyboard, and that you can with the aid of a stand you can turn this Tablet into a screen so as to do work, or you can just use this as a Tablet to watch HD movies via Xbox (to do this you'll need to buy the Xbox), make movies, help you with cooking by watching the programme the recipe's or take photos by putting the Kickstand up and as it's leaning back you can start straight away hands free filming or capturing the photo and then if need be you can with email apps and social media share it.
I also like how you can with Touch/Type Cover (I've just read on Microsoft's website about Touch and Type Covers that you can use to work on this and to me there is no difference between these two other than the Touch Cover is pressure sensitive, media controls and a Trackpad), you put these over the display and it automatically turns off the Tablet and stops you from opening windows or from writing giberish sentences when your not looking like you can do if you've not locked your phone's keypad and the next time you use it you see that you've phoned someone by accident or you've started writing an email in nonsensical words as if the cover is on the display or folded back then keystrokes are automatically disabled...this I now see while reading this sounds a lot more understandable and easier to use than the Ipad as when my sister first got this we were constantly asking each other how the hell do you use this.
This is also made from something that sounds cool VaporMg, this is a molton magnesium alloy and is three times lighter than aluminum with a highly durable exterior...sounds very cool! But I also like the anti-fingerprint coating that this has on the display so as to keep the display looking as clear as the day you buy it!
Another good thing about this is that Microsoft have used an optical bonding technique to reduce the space between the panes of the display which helps minimises light refraction so you get nothing but crystal clear videos, games and photos, also there is an extra wide viewing angle so you can show others around you easily exactly what your viewing.
This to me sounds already like it's got a whole lot more on Ipad but I've just noticed that if you look careful there is a sign that they've put on the bottom of the Tablet that is similar to the icon square that is where you press on the Ipad to see your email or any other apps that are on your Ipad....sneaky!
But just when I'm starting to warm to this Tablet in favour of the Ipad I finally see the catch with all these amazing things that come with this Tablet...as always it's the price you'll need £399.00 if you want your very own Surface.
This if true would be really cool but at this moment this is all rumour as Deadline New York have been sent an invitation by the press for an October 23rd meeting at San Jose California's Theatre over in America...they including me don't really know what to make of this even though they report that their invitation does say that:
"We've got a little more to show you...."
This to me sounds ominous, it sounds like a line from a horror movie, where all the journalists that are invited to this event are locked in to the theater once their insideand then the lights get turned off to the sound of a scream...que Hercule Poirot.
Or this could sound an interesting alternative outcome to the Levinsome Inquiry into journalistic ethics.
Rumours have already been going on that Apple have been prepping their own smaller and cheaper version of the IPad so that they can compete with Amazon's Kindle Fire, Google's Nexus 7 and Barne's and Noble's Nook tablets.
This smaller version the IPad Mini would have 7 or 8 inch screen verses the 9.7 inch screen that the IPad has and it would sell for £185.00 (or under $300).
Nothing is known apart from these rumours...well I said that nothing has come out from Apple about this but I've just got this email from Apple as part of a gneral email from them and:
As part as this email you can now pre-order this from Apple Online Store now and can get it shipped to you free or there is a Wi-Fi type says the email and buy this model from your local Apple Store from 8:00am on 2nd November.

Deadline New York have reported that Universal Pictures have set as the new director of this.... as Len Wiseman who has just done the new Total Recall that looks from the trailer very much done in the style of a video game with the 360 shots and the CGI Special Effects.
He'll be making the film from the Jon Spaihts and Universal are thinking of a summer 2014 release...fingers crossed that this can actually happen.
This is going to be produced by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci who are doing the pilot for FOX's adaption from film to TV "Sleepy Hollow", according to Deadline New York when they interview him saying that:
"When I first heard Universal was relaunching this, that is the image that popped into my head, the period tale, the old monster, but when Bob and Alex pitched it, there was a great new take and approach, and a very different mummy".
The monster that Len Wiseman is talking about is the one that
Alex Kurtzman even told Deadliine that the new script that Jon Spahts has written puts the mummy into a new, modern day context.
Orci and Kurtzman are going to produce this through their Universal Pictures based banner of Paper Products, along with Sean Daniels and Jim Jacks who produced the original Steven Sommers version of the "The Mummy".
After seeing and being a fan of these Steven Sommers movies I'm not really convinced how you can make a new approach to the mummy...but as I am also a massive fan of "The Underworld" films that were directed by Len Wiseman I'm a thinking that this mummy character might get an new revamp darker look just like the age old folktale of vampires and werewolves that has now been totally taken over now by "Twilight", making really good films like |"Underworld" and "Blade" have to take a bit of a back seat...unfortunatly.
But according to Len Wiseman it sounds like it wasn't him that is going to be making this film have a darker tone to it like the original it was more Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, with Len Wiseman saying that:
"One of the things that interested me with this mummy is, he's still in essence a man...They haven't turned his brain into a monster brain . He still has a personality and is very cunning and calculating.He's a true character in any form, and in creature, even if he is that staggering creature, it becomes more important that he's a thinking, calculating person".
But although this sounds like it will have a very different tone to it Alex Kurtzman still says that it'll still stay attractive to the same audience as the original with him saying to Deadline that:
"We're reaching into the deep roots of "The Mummy", which at it's beating heart is a horror movie and then an action movie, and putting it into a context that is real and emotional...It's still a four quadrant film but as a lot of recent movies have proven, audiences are hungry for more than they used to be. You can still have a family movie, an action movie that's more grounded than these used to be."
From these little snippets from Deadline's interview with Len Wiseman, Roberto Oric and Alex Kurtzaman there is a lot that is suggested about this new take on "The Mummy" but Alex Kurtzman did nearly slip up on what this take would be, saying that:
" Without saying too much , we've drawn a lot of inspiration from Michael Crichton's books, and how he ground fantastical tales in modern-day science".
I can't believe what I'm reading right now on Deadline New York, but I thought it had to be blogged about because this is breaking news.
According to Deadline New York Universal Pictures are developing a new version of the iconic movie that starred Al Pacino that was released in 1983 and was how could you forget about Tony Montana who muscles his way into the drug world so as to take over from his boss who takes him under his wing and into his business fold, and then he sees his bosses girlfriend and he then wants to take her off his boss as well as his business.
This though says Deadline will not be a sequel or a remake, but it will take two elements from this film, i.e that an outsider, an immigrant barges his way into the criminal establishment in pursuit of a twisted version of the American dream, becoming a kingpin through a campaign of ruthleswsness and violent ambition.
Now Universal Pictures have just hired Paul Attanasio, along with Marc Schmuger and Martin Bregan who will produce this rewrite under his Global Produce banner to rewrite this from the first draft that was first written by David Ayer.
But for the moment Universal aren't saying where the new Tony will come from.
This to me is just one of the best pieces of movie news I have heard
apart from how Hungry Hippos and Monopoly will get their own films.
When
I first read about Hungry Hippos getting a film on the Los Angeles
Times website the first thing I thought was what on earth is going to be
the story behind this film.
According to The Los
Angeles Times Habro has signed a deal with Emmett/Furla Films, (this is
an independent production and finance company that will make "The Hungry
Hippos", "Monopoly" and "Action Man" films).
Again I
have to say that how on what on earth will the story for these board
game...I do have to say though that I think the most bizarre film to
make is one for Action Man. My first thought though was that this film
might have a more Ben 10 feel to the film but if this is the case then I
think it might be a bit of a shit film.
The first film in this 3 movie deal is going to be Monopoly which according to Empire is going to be done by Ridley Scott. In an interview with him at the BAFTA's last year they interviewed him, and he said that he was:
"...trying to figure out what tone of comedy it could be. It could be a really big film..."
But he did also say in this interview with Empire that: "...no idea where we're going with this but it's the most popular board game in the world..."
But according to The Los Angeles Times this Monopoly film was going to be produced by Ridley Scott at Universal, he still will produce this though with Emmett/Furla Films.
These films though are going to be family friendly films ( that was a big surprise! I never expected that) with a broad appeal.
Also according to The Los Angeles Times Emmett has said in an interview that he hope to spend less than $100 million on each of these films.
I read this the other day on Empire online and after I'd calmed down after first reading this and laughing out loud numerous times I had stuck in my head all day the theme tune to this TV series...in case you haven't had the chance to see any reruns of old episodes of Baywatch the TV series you won't have heard the "I'll be there" theme song.
I have just read on Vulture that Robert Ben Garant who co-created and starred in Reno 911! will direct for Paramount Pictures this comedy adaption of the TV series that starred both Pamela Anderson and David "The Hoff" Hasselhoff.
The script for this has been written by Peter Tolan and will be produced by Ivan Reitman, but I have also just seen that Vulture reported that Thomas Lennon who Be Garant co-created Reno 911! with.
Thanks to Amazon.com and Facebook I have just pre-ordered the "Batman:The Dark Knight Rises" which comes out on December 3rd 2012.
But if your like me and can't wait to own some of the amazing films that are out at the moment here are the UK release dates...these could change so fingers crossed:
The Bourne Legacy UK Release Date: December 3rd 2012
Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter UK Release Date: October 22nd 2012
Dark Shadows UK Release Date: October 15th 2012
TED UK Release Date: November 26th 2012
The Amazing Spiderman UK Release Date: November 26th 2012
Total Recall UK Release Date: December 26th 2012
Magic Mike UK Release Date: November 26th 2012
What To Expect When Expecting UK Release Date: October 2012
And if you were one of the very few who went to the cinema to watch Katy Perry's film "Part Of Me" this will be released in the UK on November 5th 2012.
And last but not least Top Cat UK Release Date: October 15th 2012.
I was just perusing Deadline New York's website and I came across this piece of intriguing news...I say intriguing because I really didn't know what to make of it.
According to Deadline New York Dreamworks has already bought the screen rights to two books about Julien Assange and WikiLeaks and the events that lead up to him hiding in the Ecuadorian Embassy because he didn't want to go back to Sweden to face a law suit of sexual assault on two women.
Anywho...the books that they have got the screen rights for are "Inside WikiLeaks:My Time With Julien Assange At The World's Most Dangerous Website" which was written by Daniel Domscheit-Berg who used to be Julien Assange's right hand man at WikiLeaks, and the other book is "WikiLeaks: Inside Julien Assange's War On Secrecy" by David Leigh and Luke Harding.
This though isn't the end says Deadline New York for film studios to be making films that are based on Julien Assange, apparently there is already a documentary lined up by Universal Studios has aquired a documentary that will be directed by Oscar winning documentary director Alex Gibney, this documentary will be produced by Marc Schmuger the former chairman over at Universal Studios as well as Alex Gibney.
HBO is already thinking of co-producing with it's long time collaborator BBC to co-produce a film about Julien Assange, the source material that is said by Deadline Hollywood to be an article from The New Yorker written by Raffi Khatchadourian in 2010 called "No Secrets: Julien Assange's Mission For Total Transparency", that was an in-depth look at Julien Assange and his team as they were gearing up to leak a 38 minuite top secret video that was filmed from the inside of a U.S Army Apache Helicopter Cockpit.
This HBO project will be executive produced by Joshua Maurer Alexandre Witlin.
Mark Boal the writer of "The Hurt Locker" and Management 360 are set to produce along with Megan Ellison who will produce as well as finance through her Annapurna Pictures an option to be made into a film "The Boy Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest", this was an article that was written in The New York Times Magazine that was written by editor of its newspaper Bill Keller.
Deadline New York seems to suggests that Mark Boal might write the script for this depending if his busy work schedule gets freed up any time soon, or if not then he'll have to do it sooner rather than later!
It's likely reports Deadline New York that Bill Condon will direct the DreamWorks Pictures film, and it also reports that conversations are being had between DreamWorks and Sherlock Benedict Cumberbatch to play Julien Assange and The Killings Joel Kinnaman who will be Robocop playing Daniel Domscheit-Berg the former right hand man to Julien Assange.
But, there has been rumours says Deadline New York that DreamWorks had had conversations with Jeremy Renner who was most recently in The Bourne Legacy.
I was reading this the other day and I really didn't know what to make of it and I still don't.
According to Deadline Hollywood the writer of Battlestar Gallactica executive producer/developer Ron Moore to adapt the film "A Knight's Tale" that stars the late Heath Ledger.
ABC have already brought the rights from Sony Pictures TV with them wanting a script for this series.
If your like me than you'll know that this film was about William Thacker (Heath Ledger's character) faking it as a knight of the realm to fight in a jousting competition, but then he gets found out by the black knight after following home when Thatcher visits his blind father but he falls for the princess and has a dance with her at the end to David Bowie's 'Golden Years'.
This series is said to stay pretty close to the storyline of this...but hopefully this storyline won't feature Paul Bettany as a playwrite who looses a bet and has to walk home with nothing but his fur trimmed coat.
This has already been described by Deadline Hollywood as :
"...a medieval fantasy incorporating modern music and themes that follows the journey of a young man who starts out impersonating a knight of the realm ends up becoming one."
Ron Moore will executive producing this alongside Meril Davis,- his producing partner at Tall Ship Productions-, he'll also be executive producing with Brian Helgeland who will be writing this as well as directing and producing this with Todd Black.
Variety Reports that the first name that has been attached to this project is the former MMA fighter Gina Carrano who you may or may not have seen in Steven Soderburgh's 'Haywire".
Adi Shankar will produce this first female Expendables film under the banner of 1984 Private Defense Contractors (the PDC is expected says Variety to fully fund this project).
This is the first name that has been pulled out of the hat after first hearing that this movie project was going to go ahead, and just adds to the ever growing and exciting list of films that Gina Carrano will be involved with as she is already attached to the Fast and Furious 6 film which will this time take place in London this time, and she is also attached to In the Blood which Variety says is a:
"...Taken-esque action thriller...."
This is all that has come out so far so I can only hope that this is the first of many more pieces of news about this, so hold onto your horses and get strapped in!
I saw this on IMDb.com the other day and this I have to say looks like there will be a lot more action involved...I have to say thank god for this as I was a little bit disappointed with the first part of this last movie in the Twilight saga of films.
The story for this in case you don't know is that the Cullens get lots of other vampire clans to help them protect protect Renessame from the Volturi as a false accusation makes the Volturi think that she is a vampire child and from their history vampire children aren't suppose to exist.
But although trailers are just snap shots of movies that are suppose to pique your interest so you actually go and see the film I do have to say that now seeing this trailer after having read the harry potter sized last book I think little bits of this film have been done differently to the book,- (I relise that these parts of the book have been changed or done differently to the book so as to make the film more action packed and therefore more interesting to the people who will go and see this film when it comes out on the 16th November 2012 in the uk, here is the link to go to to see the release dates in your country:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1673434/releaseinfo )
But after seeing this I think even if I did go and see this to see what it is like I think that there might be more action and I think I would enjoy the book more and to be honest when I read this book and then finished it I have to say that I really wished I hadn't finished it as I really enjoyed reading it as a lot happened in it.
And after seeing the 1st trailer for Sylvester Stallone's new movie trailer "A Bullet To The Head" I really wanted to see this movie:
The story for this is that after seeing their respective partners die a policeman and hitman team up to get the guy responsible
This did to me look like a really exciting film, that looks very different to "The Expendables" where it is just a bunch of aging action film stars going out in a film for one last hurray before they all come to the realization which I think Sir Paul Mccartney hasn't come to yet but needs to be told by someone especially after that shambles at the Olympic opening ceremony that their careers as action stars are over.
Come to think of it now with all names like Sylvester Stallone, Jean Claude Van Damme, Dolph Ludgrum, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger I was surprised that Chief Steven Segal wasn't in this line up....this I think would probably be a lot more in keeping with the theme of aging action film stars rather than having Dogeball's Chuck Norris (I still think this was a bizarre casting choice for this movie)
There are a lot of tatooes Sylvester Stallone has them, his daughter in the movie has them but it looks like no one else in the movie has them, so I just thought it's maybe to make his character seem more badass than just a hitman who sometimes wears a sharp looking suit.
This will be released in the UK on the 1st February 2013, here is the link for other countries where it will be released:
I heard this piece of news a couple of weeks ago and I have to say that it was and still is the best piece of news I have heard all year so far.
According to the Hollywood Reporter Steve Burke NBCUniversal's CEO has said at 'The Bank Of America Merril Lynch 2012 Media, Communication and Entertainment' conference that took place in LA that the big mothership of NBCUniversal Universal Pictures will focus more on film franchises and increase it's animated film output over time so as to strengthen it's film business.
He also said in this same conference session that his team wanted to do Ted 2 "...as soon as we can...".
But this next one will be of course directed by Seth McFarlane.
I have just found with the help of Amazon.co.uk that TED will be coming out on DVD over here in the UK on the 26th November, Woohoo! I can't wait!
He also said that:
"In terms of franchises, Fast Six will come out next year, and people can expect the studio to work on further Bourne movies after the recent Bourne Legacy".
Empire though doesn't hold out much hope for both these sequels, but I do have to agree with them at how the next Bourne story has got to be a lot better than the story in the Bourne Legacy as I left the cinema with my dad after seeing this feeling a bit like there was something needed to finish this off and that it really didn't have much of a story and that it was more of a snowball film...meaning that it was setting things in motion and things were going to snowball into one big event.
But this sequel could see Matt Damon back in the fold as he has mentioned in a interview that he would like it if there was some kind of storyline where Jason Bourne and Aaron Cross team up in some way.
I'm finally landed back in blighty last night and now I'm going to be off to Top Draw London, so it's all systems go, go, go!
Paris was amazing! and to top it all off on the last day of staying in Paris me and the famile went to have lunch at L'Avenue Restaurant on Avenue Montaigne on the Champs Elysee and at the table across from where we were there was Ted himself Mark Wahlberg having lunch...I have to say that once me and my sisters saw he was there we got very excited and all the quotes from the film started coming out.
The apartment where we were staying at was amazing it was in the heart of Marmartre and the view from the apartment was right on the steps of Sacre Coure (sorry to any french people reading this if the spelling is wrong), and it was all systems go with long nights and very early mornings on the metro to and from the Parc Expositions where me and my sisters company Scicheck Ltd. were doing a trade fair at Maison Object,-which we massively underrated as we all brought comfy shoes but with the size of this trade show we really should have brought hiking gear tent included as it felt like it took several days to get round just one of the many mazes of halls and 3 days for this was really not enough, if you wanted to get round all the halls then you really needed to stock up on water and snacks, you really needed a map, a compass and a well planned gap year to see everything that was here-, I thank god for Youtube and my own internal playlist of music that was on constant play as I don't know how me and my sisters would have survived!
To survive this week of walking around like zombies in the Paris heat Youtube was on morning, noon and night thankfully!
Important tunes to wake up to:
These songs were for me very important for me to wake up with and to have stuck in my head all day,-although I am going to see both The Dead Famous and Ben Montague in concert which I am absolutely siked for and I can't wait to see both these amazingly talented artists did probably make me want to play these songs more than usual but I already do love these artists and this may sound a bit weird but I do constantly carry these artists songs around which makes any place I go a lot better-, which made me feel a whole lot better as I was suffering from flu during this week in Paris...fantastic just what you need when in Paris!
I do have to say though I love 'The Dead Famous-Hide Your Halo' but when I first heard it I'd automatically get Chrisitina Agulera's 'Stronger' which really was annoying for a while but now everytime I sing this wherever I go Christina Aguilera has gone....thank god! now it's nothing but uninterrupted 'Hide Your Halo' !.
I really love Elissa Franceshi and after I heard 'Rainbow on Fire' I brought her album which I urge you to have a listen to if you haven't already yet, or if you haven't got the album yet go and get it, download the songs and love the album...anyhew I think I may have druven my parents a little crazy by playing these favourite songs of mine from her album 'Into the Light' that I played every day and every night.
I just have to say this even though I think that it may sound a bit much, I think that 'Rocks and Tears' is an absolutly perfect song to be played on The Vampire Diaries when there is an emotional scene going on as I think it is right for it as it is is sooo cool like all the other tracks they play like Hurts, Ed Sheeran, Pheonix, The Civil Wars and Florence and The machine etc and it has the same kind of emotionality as these other tracks,-talking about perfect cool tracks that should be played on the UK Vampire Diaries Of Monsters and Men Little Talk.
Annoying tracks that got stuck in my head:
When I first saw Christina Perri's 'A Thousand Years' all I could think about is how much of a fire hazard it was that there were so many lit candles!
And of course no night is complete without a little bit of LMFAO:
