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.

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.

Meatloaf ok after collapsing on stage and much more unbelievable news!
I was just perusing the internet to see if there was any more news on Meatloaf after he was filmed live on stage in Edmonton in Canada whilst on his cross Canada tour was taking place collapsing as he reportedly sang "I Will Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)"...and I found this surprising piece of news.
According to Times Colonist's website MeatLoaf will continue on this tour,-in a "the show must go on attitude" I guess, sorry for the pun I just couldn't keep it to myself I had to do it- and will play his scheduled Saturday night gig that is due to take place at the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, Canada.
This same website also states that Meatloaf has stated a media blackout for his Canadian dates, so this means no previews and reviews of his shows are available not even any updates or further information have been released via his official Facebook page or his verified Twitter account...so this to me sounds rough because I was thinking if you were a fan of Meatloaf and had bought tickets to any of these Canada gigs or if you just wanted to know if he was alright after he collapsed then because of this media blackout you wouldn't be able to find out if you could still go to these gigs or if these gigs had been cancelled and were going to be rearranged for another time or if you just wanted to find out if he was ok or not.
And I'd think if you were a fan and had bought tickets to anyone of these tour dates I'd think you'd be feeling pretty anxious about the news of him collapsing because according to Times Colonist website this isn't the first time that this cross Canada tour of Meatloaf's has had many a fan sitting on the edge of their seat, not only because you may or may not know that according to several other reports Meatloaf suffers with a syndrome that causes an irregular heartbeat as well as this collapse being attributed to dehydration and asthma, but some of these tour dates have already had to be cancelled such as a tour date that was scheduled to take place on June 18th in Cold Lake, Alta but according to Times Colonist website Meatloaf then returned to play in Lethbridge on Tuesday...and he is also said to be scheduled to play a gig in Penticton on Thursday fingers crossed.
But according to Times Colonist's website these stumbling blocks haven't put a damperner on his plans to reunite with long time songwriting collaborator Jim Steinman to release Meatloaf's new album "Braver Than We Are" which is set to be released later this year on September 16th according to Rollingstone Magazine's website.
The first single from this new album "Going All The Way" is said by RollingStone Magazine's website to be:
"...a multi-movement symphonic-rock epic in the vein of "Paradise By The DashBoard Light" and "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" with all the attendant melodrama of those hits."
And RollingStone Magazine's website goes on to say that this song:
"The song features additional vocals by Ellen Foley, who sang on "Paradise", Karla Devitto, who appeared in the "Paradise" video and sang Foley's part on the "Bat Out Of Hell" tour."
RollingStone Magazine's says that this album will feature 10 never before released Steinman compositions, and that Jim Steinman got final say on the mix and the composition of these songs before they were deemed finished.
This same article also states that Paul Crook former Anthrax guitarist has helmed this new album of Meatloaf's as well as also playing guitar on this same album.
And if you want to hear a preview of this new song by Meatloaf then why not click on the link below to RollingStone's Magazine's website:
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/hear-meat-loafs-bombastic-new-track-with-bat-out-of-hell-songwriter-20160622
After hearing just the first few bars of this song it sounds like to me that Meatloaf's voice is more than a bit shaky and maybe time to hang up his coat and probably let "Bat Out Of Hell" die with dignity, I see why he is only touring one country and maybe why now I come to think abut it Meatloaf is not doing any press for this album and just touring it because if his voice isn't up to much then people will probably think it's just because it's live and Meatloaf is probably doing more than just singing so fans are going to be lulled into wanting to listen to what the song's sound like normally after the shows or from YouTube before these shows and therefore there might not be as bigger response from people buying physical copies of this album or from streaming or downloading this album...but I do realise before anybody reading this either on their laptops, androids or Iphone's start screaming at their screens whilst reading this post this is just my opinion.
According to Times Colonist's website MeatLoaf will continue on this tour,-in a "the show must go on attitude" I guess, sorry for the pun I just couldn't keep it to myself I had to do it- and will play his scheduled Saturday night gig that is due to take place at the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, Canada.

And I'd think if you were a fan and had bought tickets to anyone of these tour dates I'd think you'd be feeling pretty anxious about the news of him collapsing because according to Times Colonist website this isn't the first time that this cross Canada tour of Meatloaf's has had many a fan sitting on the edge of their seat, not only because you may or may not know that according to several other reports Meatloaf suffers with a syndrome that causes an irregular heartbeat as well as this collapse being attributed to dehydration and asthma, but some of these tour dates have already had to be cancelled such as a tour date that was scheduled to take place on June 18th in Cold Lake, Alta but according to Times Colonist website Meatloaf then returned to play in Lethbridge on Tuesday...and he is also said to be scheduled to play a gig in Penticton on Thursday fingers crossed.
But according to Times Colonist's website these stumbling blocks haven't put a damperner on his plans to reunite with long time songwriting collaborator Jim Steinman to release Meatloaf's new album "Braver Than We Are" which is set to be released later this year on September 16th according to Rollingstone Magazine's website.
The first single from this new album "Going All The Way" is said by RollingStone Magazine's website to be:
"...a multi-movement symphonic-rock epic in the vein of "Paradise By The DashBoard Light" and "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" with all the attendant melodrama of those hits."
And RollingStone Magazine's website goes on to say that this song:
"The song features additional vocals by Ellen Foley, who sang on "Paradise", Karla Devitto, who appeared in the "Paradise" video and sang Foley's part on the "Bat Out Of Hell" tour."
RollingStone Magazine's says that this album will feature 10 never before released Steinman compositions, and that Jim Steinman got final say on the mix and the composition of these songs before they were deemed finished.
This same article also states that Paul Crook former Anthrax guitarist has helmed this new album of Meatloaf's as well as also playing guitar on this same album.

After hearing just the first few bars of this song it sounds like to me that Meatloaf's voice is more than a bit shaky and maybe time to hang up his coat and probably let "Bat Out Of Hell" die with dignity, I see why he is only touring one country and maybe why now I come to think abut it Meatloaf is not doing any press for this album and just touring it because if his voice isn't up to much then people will probably think it's just because it's live and Meatloaf is probably doing more than just singing so fans are going to be lulled into wanting to listen to what the song's sound like normally after the shows or from YouTube before these shows and therefore there might not be as bigger response from people buying physical copies of this album or from streaming or downloading this album...but I do realise before anybody reading this either on their laptops, androids or Iphone's start screaming at their screens whilst reading this post this is just my opinion.
News just in Idris Elba's new music project!
I was just perusing vevo.com today to listen to some music and this came up on vevo.com's homepage:

You may or may not already know that Idris Elba when he isn't busy filming things like "Luther", "The Dark Tower" or "The Jungle Book" he is busy DJing all over the world doing sets at Snowbombing and Creamfields.
And now according to MixMag.com presents a new project "Hiatus", and the first track from this project is called "Spectacle (All Gone Pete Tong Edit)", and according to MixMag.com this track was produced in Idris Elba's own studio and this music video as well as the composition for this song was done by Idris Elba, he also has shot the music video for this with Ian Morgan and composed this with Graeme Cohen.
The producer of this dance track is Warren Ferreira.
According to MixMag.com:
"It's more club-friendly than the original as there's more drive but the festival-feel is still firmly intact."
I would have to agree with this,-but it does make me wonder what the original version of this song of Idris Elba's was, I imagine that it probably sounded more drum and bass, more house or more garage sounding, or probably something not so mainstream sounding or something that sounded like it needed something to get it on radio and heard by all, not just heard because it's a new project by Idris Elba that's been remixed by Pete Tong, ( according to MixMag.com "The radio pioneer was shown the track when the two met in LA and he's flipped the cut on it's head, turning it into a 4/4 house roller") - I can definitely see it being played in the clubs of Ibiza or now that I think about it, it will definitely put you in the party mood and I could probably see it even being played in the height of the party season being played at places like Nikki Beach St. Tropez.
And I've just seen on Amazon UK's website you can now download this mp3 album "Spectacle"...sweeeeet!
