You may or may not have heard this but I was perusing the internet the other day and I came across this that Tim Miller the director of "Deadpool" was not going to be coming back to direct the sequel unlike other articles on other websites would have you believe.
If you read this blog you might have already read that the same people involved with "Deadpool" including Ryan Reynolds would be returning to this sequel but I have read on TheWrap.com's website that the shit hit the fan at the weekend as according to TheWrap.com's website:
"Shortly after then-20th Century Fox CEO Jim Gianopulos confirmed a second at CinemaCon in April, cracks began to form in the creative team that also includes screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick"
Oh dear...this doesn't sound good...
According to an insider for TheWrap.com Reynolds, Wernick and Reese in initial sequel talks envisioned a "scrappy", raunchy and inexpensive movie very much in the same vein as the first but Miller wanted a much more stylish take, one that would according to this insider compete with the mega-budget superhero movies and one that would have cost three times the budget of the first film which was $58million...but according to TheWrap.com's website this isn't the only time there's been friction between Ryan Reynols, Wernick, Reese and Tim Miller.
According to one insider when Jim Gianopulos was at 20th Century Fox he had to act as "peacekeeper" between Ryan Reynolds and Tim Miller but when he left this job was handed to Stacey Snider on September 1st who it is said to have had input in a situation that was largely being handled by 20th Century Fox President Of Production Emma Watts....but according to another insider executives didn't have to step in and manage relationships until well after the first film was released.
Regardless to say that Reynolds, Wernick and Reese won this fight and their vision won out and Tim Miller's vision didn't so now he's walked away and even now thanks to one fans suggestion of who should step into these directorial shoes being put up on the internet...non other than blood, guts galore and comedy legendary director of movies such as "Pulp Fiction", "The Hateful Eight", "Kill Bill", "Kill Bill Vol. 2" etc Quentin Tarantino the fans have gone crazy and have even started a petition on Change.org to make this more than just a suggestion.
But if you ask me I don't think this is going to actually become a reality, because now I think about it although he may have the clout to tell all these people where to go with their arguments, his style of films I would have thought might go against the "scrappy" ideals that every body to do with this film wants from the sequel, and I just thought if Quentin Tarantino was to direct this sequel it would definitely give this sequel a different kind of style from the first film and it would also most probably give the film more of a cult status like all the other films he's made...which would definitely piss off every body that is involved with this sequel movie giving 20th Century Fox executives more of a headache than when Tim Miller was directing the movie.

Hold Up...There's Going To Be Another Deadpool Movie!?
You may or may not have already heard about this but Ryan Reynold's "Deadpool" is getting a sequel with the addition of some new characters Cable and Domino.
According to Collider.com's website director Tim Miller and the film's producer's are looking forwards to casting a new key female role...and according to "sources close to production" are telling Collider.com testing has already begun for the character Domino...actresses that are already being considered for this role are Lizzy Caplan, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Sienna Miller, Sofia Boutella, Stephanie Sigman (who you may or may not recognise from the film "Spectre" where she played the Bond girl that was in the hotel with James Bond in Mexico City on The Day Of The Dead opening part of the film), Sylvia Hoeks...and now according to these "trusted sources" of Collider four more actresses are testing for this role Ruby Rose (who you may or may not recognise from "Orange Is The New Black"), Mackenzie Davis, Eve Hewson and Kelly Rohrbach.
Also according to Collider.com Domino is a frenenemy of Deadpool but has a close connection to the other new character that will feature in this sequel Cable as according to her comic book history she becomes partners, a confident and lover of Cable who if your like me and your not sure about this character he is according to Wikipedia,-I do realise whilst I write this that these days you can't believe everything you read on this website as these pages can be edited and things can be made up so if your reading this then please don't hold it against me if there are some things in here that aren't factually correct regarding this character's comic book history, but like I said in the grand Marvel comic book universe scheme of things I've not really heard of this character-, he is a mutant who is the grown son of X-Man Cyclops aka Scott Summers and the clone of Jean Grey who is transported to the future as an infant and grew up to become a warrior then is transported back to the present.
Also according to Collider.com Domino is also a mutant with her powers including the ability to initiate random acts of telekinetic acts that turn probability in her favour. But also according to this same article there is no word as yet on who will be playing Cable for definite...so like Collider.com I think this could mean that returning director Tim Miller, screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick along with Ryan Reynolds who will also be returning either already have an actor in mind to play the role of Cable and need to negotiate to get him in the film, have already got the actor who's going to play this character and are just finalising contracts before they can officially come out in the press and say who it is that will be playing this role in the film or just haven't got around to casting this yet.
Filming for this sequel is according to Collider.com said to be aiming to get underway in early 2017...apart from this there is no other details about this sequel so we'll just have to watch this space.

Who fancies another trip into deepest darkest peru for Paddington 2?
Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! I read this last night and I just couldn't keep this to myself I was so excited to hear that Paddington was getting a sequel.
I loved the first film, it was so lovely and endearing and Ben Whishaw who voiced Paddington really in my opinion brought the character to life and it was so funny especially the things that happened because Paddington didn't know how things in the modern day really work because he was brought up by his aunt Lucy and uncle in deepest darkest Peru and they taught him to always be polite like if you want to talk to someone talk to them about the weather like "it's really raining cats and dogs isn't it" and most importantly in case of emergency always have a marmalade sandwich under your hat.
But if you haven't seen this film...then why the hell not because besides being a massive hit when it was released it really is a family feel good movie...well even if you haven't got kids this is a really good film to watch if there is a rainy afternoon, if your feeling ill and are taking the day off of work or even if there's nothing on TV and you want to watch something that's a bit different then you'll definitely be a fan of this film as there are just so many "Aw Paddington" moments such as when Paddington is teaching Mr and Mrs. Brown's daughter how to speak bear...or when Paddington helps the police to catch a pick pocketer or because Paddington has never been anywhere outside of deepest darkest Peru he doesn't understand what the toothbrushes are when the Brown family first take him in so he uses them as ear cleaners, floods the toilet and ends up trying to cling on to the top of the old fashioned toilet but that falls off the wall and he lands in the bath with the water building up all around him and he ends up in the tub with it falling all the way down the spiral staircase and water going everywhere in the house...and the Brown children try to dry him off using a hairdryer and his fur goes really static and fuzzy.
And like in the first film the storyline is so "Aw Paddington" because in that film there is an earthquake in Peru where Paddington's family live and sadly his uncle gets killed and Paddington's aunt Lucy has no choice but to pack up Paddington's belongings-which is lots and lots of jars of Marmalade- and put a sign over his head saying "Please look after this bear" and send him on to London, but when he gets there no one wants to talk to him or help him until on the last train into Paddington station the Brown family find him and take him in and help him to find the geographer who documented a trip to Peru because he thinks he might be able to help him, but instead he finds he died and his daughter has been looking for Paddington ever since looking for revenge as she wants to stuff him and put him in the British Museum.
But this time according to Deadline Hollywood's website Paddington is at this point a popular member of the community of Windsor Gardens and he's settled in to his home here, but whilst going in search for the perfect present for his beloved Aunt Lucy's 100th birthday which he finds in Mr. Gruber's antique's shop, he has to embark on another adventure with the Brown family in tow to get back this unique pop-up book once it get's stolen.
According to Deadline Hollywood's website Ben Whishaw will be returning for this sequel to reprise his role as the voice of Paddington, Imelda Staunton will also be returning to reprise her role as the voice of Aunt Lucy, Hugh Bonneville will return to reprise his role as Mr. Brown, Sally Hawkins will be reprising her role as Mrs. Brown, Madeleine Harris will reprise her role as Judy Brown as well as Samuel Joslin will be back to reprise his role as Jonathan Brown, Peter Capaldi will also be returning to reprise his role as Mr.Curry the next door neighbour, Julie Walters will return to reprise her role as Mrs. Bird the Brown's cleaner and Jim Broadbent will be returning to reprise his role as Mr.Gruber the antique shop owner...along with some new faces appearing in this sequel from the likes of Hugh Grant who also according to Deadline Hollywood's website will be playing the role of Windsor Garden's resident vain, charming acting legend whose star has fallen in recent years Pheonix Buchanan, and Brenden Gleeson who will be playing the character Knuckles McGinty a notorious safe-cracker and legendary strong man who becomes an unlikely ally to Paddington.
Also according to Deadline Hollywood Paul King will direct from a script that he co-wrote with Simon Farnaby and this sequel will be produced by David Heyman who has previously produced "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them". StudioCanal will fully finance this film, will distribute this film in Germany, New Zealand, UK, France, Australia, will handle international sales and has developed this film.
And according to Den Of Geek's website this sequel is pencilled in for next year on November 10th 2017.

Fenech-Soler are back with album no.3 "Kaleidoscope"
You may or may not already know this amazing band Fenech-Soler or you might have heard them recently on Annie Mack's Radio 1 show showcasing their brilliant new EP "Kaleidoscope"...but if you haven't heard of them already... where the hell have you been...under a rock!? anyhew...if you haven't I urge you to immediately go on to their website, ITunes, Amazon, YouTube, Vevo or wherever you listen, download, stream or buy your music from and listen to their addictively catchy music such as this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0takBpMWtM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRupdVVAPwY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbb1OHa2ljE
or you might have even heard a clip of the title track "Kaleidoscope" from their new album on the TV advert for the clothing website http://www.kaleidoscope.co.uk/fashion/_/N-1eZ1i?cs_ev=topnav-_-New%20In-_-Shop%20by%20Department-_-Fashion
And as I am a massive fan of these guys from the first time I heard "Lies" from their first album, and have of course their second album "Rituals" I like most of their fans was bummed to hear when they said that after their second album that they'd be taking a break from music for a bit and that there would be no music for a bit....but I was probably like most of their other fans over the moon to hear that album no.3 would be winging it's way to the masses.
And now thank goodness the EP has finally been released "Kaleidoscope"!
Now I think about it this EP would be ideal to play at a house party, as background music to having dinner or a few drinks to...now I think about it this music would be really good if you were getting ready to go out if there is any parties your going to as it is building up to Christmas party season...also I just thought all these songs including Fenech-Soler's other songs are just really easy to dance along to, you just put on any of their records and it has you instantly feeling like you need to dance around to this song...unlike other songs out their at the moment that are suppose to be dance songs but they instead leave you thinking "ok, you say that I should dance along to this record but with the baseline and the pace of the music how exactly am I suppose to do this?"...or this could just be me that thinks this.

New movies set to be released on DVD Part 2
Along with having the exciting news of when "Suicide Squad" will be released on DVD here are some other films that you might be interested in:
Anyhew...According to Amazon this will be released on DVD on the 28th of November 2016 another date I suggest that you put in your diaries and another really good idea for Christmas...also I just thought this is a really good idea for something to watch on Christmas day as speaking from experience not that I don't mind watching "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of The WareRabbit" as the BBC put on TV last year at Christmas as I do love a bit of Wallace and Gromit but sometimes you do want to watch something a bit different.
"X:Men Apocoypse", also according to Amazons website's synopsis sees Apocalypse the most powerful mutant being reawakened after amassing the powers of many other mutants becoming invincible and immortal and after becoming disillusioned with the world he decides to cleanse the world and with the help of powerful mutants including a disheartened Magneto played by Michael Fassbender he wants to create a new world that he will reign over, so with the help of Raven played by Jennifer Lawrence and Professor Xavier played by James McAvoy they lead a team of young X-men to save mankind from total destruction as well as stopping their greatest nemesis.
This according to Amazon's website synopsis the turtles arch nemesis Shredder voiced by Brian Tee is back and has employed Techno Cosmic Research Institute scientist Dr. Stockman played by Tyler Perry to create some mutants of his own in the form of ferocious duo Bebop voiced by Gary Anthony Williams and Rocksteady voiced by Stephen Farelly. Meanwhile the evil Kraang voiced by Fred Armisen arrives from Dimnsion X to lead an invasion on New York City...so with a little help from their friend journalist April O'Neil played by Megan Fox and vigilante Casey Jones the turtles have to fight a battle on two fronts to save New York City from total destruction.
!Warning this post may contain spoilers!
- Jason Bourne, thankfully for now it seems or at least for this film Matt Damon is back with Paul Greengrass in tow along with Julia Stile's character Nikki Parsons who gets Jason Bourne from out of hiding because she has been trying to find Christian Dassault,- someone who worked at Treadstone- but has now suddenly disappeared and in order to find him she hacks into the CIA and instead finds a list of secret files full of black operations that no one is suppose to know about and she takes this and a file that contains a photograph of Jason Bourne and some more information about him being under surveillance by someone before he joined Treadstone...this then leads to her death by an asset played by Vincent Cassel (you may or may not recognise him from the film "Ocean's Twelve" who played Francois Toulour the protégée of an infamous thief known as LeMarc who challenges Danny Ocean to steal the Faberge Imperial Coronation Egg because his mentor didn't describe him as the greatest thief of all time but instead described Danny Ocean as the best thief of all time, so he tells Danny Ocean if he steals it then he'll know that Danny Ocean is the best thief of all time and if he doesn't then he'll know that he is rather than Danny Ocean, Toulour loses of course but then reappears in "Oceans Thirteen" to get the diamonds Danny Ocean is planning to steal with the help of Terry Benedict from Willy Bank played by Al Pacino as he nearly kills Danny Ocean's friend Reuben, and give them to Terry Benedict in a double cross from Terry Benedict but of course Toulour and Benedict lose as they find out the diamonds they have are fakes and Terry Benedict's share from the heist is donated to charity by Danny Ocean as Danny Ocean knows all along that Terry Benedict was going to double cross them- and a team sent by the CIA that is headed up by Tommy Lee Jones who wants to kill Jason Bourne but a new recruit played by Alicia Vikander wants to lead a team to try and see if she can get Jason back into the programme.
Anyhew...According to Amazon this will be released on DVD on the 28th of November 2016 another date I suggest that you put in your diaries and another really good idea for Christmas...also I just thought this is a really good idea for something to watch on Christmas day as speaking from experience not that I don't mind watching "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of The WareRabbit" as the BBC put on TV last year at Christmas as I do love a bit of Wallace and Gromit but sometimes you do want to watch something a bit different.
- Also according to Amazon's website on the 7th December 2016 (more stocking fillers) "Now You See Me 2" and "X:Men Apocolypse" will be released onto DVD.
"X:Men Apocoypse", also according to Amazons website's synopsis sees Apocalypse the most powerful mutant being reawakened after amassing the powers of many other mutants becoming invincible and immortal and after becoming disillusioned with the world he decides to cleanse the world and with the help of powerful mutants including a disheartened Magneto played by Michael Fassbender he wants to create a new world that he will reign over, so with the help of Raven played by Jennifer Lawrence and Professor Xavier played by James McAvoy they lead a team of young X-men to save mankind from total destruction as well as stopping their greatest nemesis.
- Also another stocking filler and another date for the diary is December 26th 2016...this is when "The Mechanic:Resurrection" which stars Jason Statham and Jessica Alba. This according to Amazon's website synopsis says that Jason Statham reprises his role as Arthur Bishop who is the hitman who makes each job look like an accident...but this time he thinks he's managed to leave this life behind and disappear for good, but it looks like someone's found him and kidnaps his girlfriend and he won't get her back unless he completes a diabolical list of assassinations of the most dangerous men in the world.
This according to Amazon's website synopsis the turtles arch nemesis Shredder voiced by Brian Tee is back and has employed Techno Cosmic Research Institute scientist Dr. Stockman played by Tyler Perry to create some mutants of his own in the form of ferocious duo Bebop voiced by Gary Anthony Williams and Rocksteady voiced by Stephen Farelly.

I've just got the Bat signal-sorry for the pun- when "Suicide Squad" is set for release on DVD and other DVD's are out Part 1 Of 2
I am soooo excited to get this email through my inbox from Amazon and I just had to put this up on here.
As I really enjoyed "Suicide Squad" when I went to see the film at the cinema regardless of its faults as I thought it was very see through right from the start that this story with how Amanda Waller's played by Viola Davies has the idea of putting together the worst of the worst villains that had been caught by Batman played by Ben Affleck as in the case of DeadShot played by Will Smith and Harley Quinn played by Margot Robbie with Killer Croc played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Captain Boomerang played by Jai Courtney, El Diablo played by Jay Hernandez and a 3,000 year old witch Enchantress played by Cara Delevingne to form task force X and co-operate with the government in the wake of Batman vs Superman's battle and so as to stop as Amanda Waller puts it in the film: "What's to stop Superman flying down and taking the president out of the White House?" that something really bad is bound to happen with the witch that has supernatural powers and can't be controlled...and of course letting her out really does turn out to be a disaster as she turns all who come into contact with her into her alien soldiers and of course there isn't just her there is also her brother that she lets out and the only way to stop him is El Diablo who can manipulate fire and put the fire wherever he wants.
But the film in my opinion is disappointing with like most critics say that Jared Leto who really does in my opinion steal the show as well as Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, and really does look the part of a deranged psychopath that you really don't want to mess with because you just don't know what he's going to do or what or when he's going to get ticked off with you...that's now I think about it probably down to in part the wardrobe department on the film and partially down to Jared Leto's method acting skills, but you don't see very much of him in the film all you get to see are little snippets of him in the film such as when Batman first tracks him and Harley Quinn down and he escapes but Harley Quinn gets captured and sent to Belle Reve, when the Joker first finds out where Harley Quin is being held and is planning how to get her out along with the microchip that is implanted in her neck, how to get a message to Harley Quinn in the form of getting a phone into Belle Reve with the help of Griggs who is a guard at Belle Reve, how the Joker and Harley Quinn first met, what happened to Harley Quinn after meeting him and how right at the end of the film he finally goes in to Belle Reve himself in order to get her out.
But apart from this, this film is an action packed film with some comic moments such as how Captain Boomerang doesn't like anyone touching his toy unicorn or the most qualified army trained person Rick Flagg that she puts in charge of this task force at one point gets into trouble more than once and has to be helped out by the bad guys, and is in my opinion definitely a film to put in your DVD collection to have readily available for when there is nothing to watch on TV. I do realise though that nowadays people do stream films or download them but this statement I have just written does in my opinion still stand.
Anyhew I digress...as I am a huge fan of Batman (apart from the Christopher Nolan Batman films my favourite Batman films have to be the Tim Burton directed Batman films especially "Batman" with Jack Nicholson playing The Joker) and of Jared Leto's band 30 Seconds to Mars I just had to see this film and like with the new Jason Bourne film I just had to pre-order this film right after I had seen it at the cinema...but until this morning I couldn't find any release date information for when I would receive this DVD through my mailbox and thankfully I do now 5th December...so I just thought that this is definitely a date for the diary and as it's close to Christmas it could in my opinion make a very good gift idea for Christmas.

I do realise though that nowadays people do stream films or download them but this statement I have just written does in my opinion still stand.
Anyhew I digress...as I am a huge fan of Batman (apart from the Christopher Nolan Batman films my favourite Batman films have to be the Tim Burton directed Batman films especially "Batman" with Jack Nicholson playing The Joker) and of Jared Leto's band 30 Seconds to Mars I just had to see this film and like with the new Jason Bourne film I just had to pre-order this film right after I had seen it at the cinema...but until this morning I couldn't find any release date information for when I would receive this DVD through my mailbox and thankfully I do now 5th December...so I just thought that this is definitely a date for the diary and as it's close to Christmas it could in my opinion make a very good gift idea for Christmas.

Now these just look too good to share...even if they are just for Halloween!
There's no pun intended here -as it's coming up to Halloween and all- when I say that it feels like as I have spent so long a time not writing anything on here that it feels like I am having to shake off the cobwebs and dust on my computer and I'm sorry about that.
But I have just had this email whisk it's way into my inbox and I just had to put it up on here and let you know about it and make sure you grab these sweet treats for Halloween before they all go.
As I am an avid chocoholic I like most chocoholic's cannot just have one chocolate thing and share it...for example if there's a box of chocolates that enters the house doesn't matter what variety except dark chocolate (I hate dark chocolate) even a Terry's chocolate orange I'll end up eating it and then feel the pain afterwards...I do realise that saying I can't share chocolate sounds bad but that is how much of a chocoholic I am even before people have a chance to taste what the chocolate like it's gone...anyhew this is by the by when I first saw this tantalising email from Hotel Chocolat (my favourite place to get chocolate from) I instantly wanted all of them as they all looked so good...even though there just for Halloween...and now I think about it, why not get all of these amazing chocolates All Hallows Eve only comes around once a year.
Once you have seen all of these coolly designed chocolates just for Halloween you'll want them too, they have designed a chocolate yumkin priced at £5.50 (a milk chocolate with white and dark chocolate decorations that is a hollow designed pumpkin that the website says you could put on your windowsill to charm guests at your Halloween party...but knowing how delicious Hotel Chocolate's chocolate always is I really don't know how you'll be able to resist not wanting to eat it yourself), Oozy eyes white chocolate priced at £3.85 (white chocolate eyes filled with red molten caramel) Oozy eyes milk chocolate priced at £3.85 but if you wanted you could mix and match this product with 3 or more selectors for £3.15 each, Skull Lick Chocolate Lollipop priced at £1.95, Dark Chocolate Vampire's priced at £5.50 and other delicious sweet treats to get you in the mood for Halloween...well if these treats don't take your fancy then surely Hotel Chocolate's "Choose You're Poison" selection of 16 cocktails in four intoxicating flavours these include: Black Cat Martini, Corpse Reviver, Green Fairy and Zombie...these in case you don't know are chocolate's spiked with vodka, gin, absinthe, white rum, triple sec and vermouth...will get you ready and in the mood for Halloween.
