Summer Movies

Okay so here is a list of all the movies i am excited about which are coming to cinema's this year, of course things change so i will be back here to add, swap and change things, bookmark it!

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Now
Plot: Jack Sparrow and Barbossa embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard and his daughter are after it too.





Verdict: Okay so i am not as excited about this film as i was the rest in the franchise, and the missing characters might be the problem but i was willing to give it a chance, so it is up here burt as i am completely broke right now i do not think i will be going to see it, it may have to be a DVD release for this one i am afraid. Don't worry i still love you Jack, just not as keen on you new friends.


The Art of Getting by
June 17th
Plot: George, a lonely and fatalistic teen who's made it all the way to his senior year without ever having done a real day of work, is befriended by Sally, a popular but complicated girl who recognizes in him a kindred spirit.



Verdict: Okay so I am relatively excited about this one, i mean Emma Roberts has done some amazing films recently and i think this could be one of her best yet.

Bad Teacher
24th June
Plot: A comedy centered around a foul-mouthed, junior high teacher who, after being dumped by her sugar daddy, begins to woo a colleague -- a move that pits her against a well-loved teacher.



Verdict: Okay so this film has some good points and some bad points. Okay first, Cameron Diaz in a comedy, yay, you just know that cheeky grin of hers is going to get some laughs even if we don't know why she is smiling. Two and a reason she could be smiling a lot, Justin Timberlake, now i know there was a lot of speculation about him moving away from music and into the movie industry but i think he has done it remarkably well, and if past performance (the social network) is anything to go by, he has a knack for piicking scripts and acting them well. My only worry, now that i think about it, is the storyline, now you may think this is big problem but i don't know, with a cast as strong as that, it would have to be completely and utterly awful for me to not enjoy it.



Larry Crowne
1st July
Plot: After losing his job, a middle-aged man reinvents himself by going back to college.



Verdict: Okay i know i know the plot line sounds pretty poor and i think I can just about see the ending now, but i don't think Julia Roberts can do anything wrong in my books, i mean look at all the awesome films she has done (Notting Hill, Erin Brockovitch, Pretty Woman to name a few), okay so some of her recent ones have not been as excellent but maybe she can pull this one back (i think i will always say that for her), after all she is playing across from Tom Hanks, what more could you wish for, for a blockbuster.


Monte Carlo
1st July
Plot: Three young women vacationing in Paris find themselves whisked away to Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress.



Verdict: I know I know i am a total sucker for the chick flick, but i think that this has a really strong leading class and could do really well, with lots of people not just the JPD (just past disney) crowd. I love Leighton in Gossip Girl but i really hope we see another side to her in this film, hopefully one more down to earth. The only bad thing i will say is that Selena cannot do British, she sounds awful, we do not sound like that.


Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
15th July
Plot: Okay so think you have to have been living in the cave for the past ten years to now know what is going on in this movie, so i am not even going to put a plot in.



Verdict: Okay so as always this movie will be amazing, i think it is the premier that more people are interested in, how many of the young stars who now seem to be desperately distancing themselves from the franchise, will turn up, who knows?

Friends with benefits
22nd July
Plot: While trying to avoid the clichés of Hollywood romantic comedies, Dylan (Timberlake) and Jamie (Kunis) soon discover however that adding the act of sex to their friendship does lead to complications.



verdict: My my Mr Timberlake, you have been busy, yes this is yet another Timberlake film that i very excited for, in this one he does have the leading man role though so it adds something for him (probably more money) but no in all seriousness, i am very excited for this obvious chick flick, no seriously.


The Change Up
5th August
Plot: A comedy in which a married guy switches bodies with his best friend in order to woo his co-worker.



Verdict: I know, i know, this just sounds awful but it is from the director of the wedding crashers (awesome),so it cannot be that bad. Mid you even if the story is bad i can spend two hours staring at Ryan Reynolds.


The Help
12th August
Plot: A look at what happens when a southern town's unspoken code of rules and behaviour is shattered by three courageous women who strike up an unlikely friendship.



Verdict: Okay so this film has Emma Stone as the main role and so on that note i think it is going to be awesome.


Spy Kids 4
19th August
Plot: A mother returns to her old profession -- she's a retired spy -- in order to prevent a villain bent on stopping time.



Verdict: Okay so I loved all the other films in this series but I think that maybe they have taken this a little too far, it is too soon to tell really.


Abduction
September 23rd
Plot: A thriller centred on a young man who sets out to uncover the truth about his life after finding his baby photo on a missing persons website.





Verdict: Okay Okay lets admit it from the get go, the only reason i am excited about this movie is Taylor Lautner.


Dream House
30th September
Plot: Soon after moving into their seemingly idyllic new home, a family learns of a brutal crime committed against former residents of the dwelling.

Verdict: Okay so there is only those two lines to go by but by attaching Daniel Craig's name i am really excited. I will post the trailer when it comes.

Gossip Girls
Season Finale: The Wrong Goodbye
So this is it the last in the series and with Gossip Girl you can pretty much garantee this episode is going to be immense. Vanessa and Serena are on the same team again and Dan is confiding in Nate. Oh look there is Chuck about to stir things up again. That's some good advice though Ms Waldorf. LOL We all need to talk. Ha Ha this is hilarious. Oops looks like Blair is in trouble. OMG it's Georgina! Lol she always makes life interesting, cummon Dan, give her a chance. Hey there's Charlie, go on Dan talk her down out of her drunken mess. Serena meets her old head mistress, that makes for an interesting conversation.
Haha, you have to get involved don't you Georgina. Serena says she does not want you involved, so go away with that weird guy you conned.
Chuck to the rescue! Go Raina, that is just what i would have done. Blair is missing the party, we still have yet to see the dress?! Aww Chuck is still number one? Of course they agree to a drink, because no one is waiting for you right Blair? Raina decides to go back to Chicago. blair and Chuck end up at a barmitzvah pretending to be someone else. Georgina send Charlie up to the roof. Serena gets her to tell.
Chuck and Blair seem to be having fun. The dancing looks hilarious, but i think thats what this show needs. Vanessa finds Dan's book at the loft and of course decides to be nosey.
Things get a little out of hand at the party between Chuck and Blair. But of course we knew that would happen.
Charlie is still hiding out although Serena manages to find her at the last minute just before she jumped of course. I'm not sure Serena is the best person to try to talk her down.





Vanessa talks to Dan about her book but things get a little heated and of course Vanessa is going to do something stupid.
Blair and Chuck have a frank conversation and Blair makes the right choice. Serena is still trying talk Charlie down and realises more about herself than she thought possible. Charlie makes the right choice. Serena is still questioning her choice.
Blair tries to make the right choice and tell the prince but Chuck takes the words out of her mouth.

Dan and Nate seek Serena out. There are a lot of apologises flying around but it seems Charlie is actually screwing them around still. Which of course she always was, but only someone as bad as her could see it. Georgina looks like she could have a new best friend.
Blair talks to Chuck, and Chuck is more honest than I have ever seen him on this show. Chuck realises he may actually be growing up. Chuck decides he must let her go, that they both must. Blair walks away with her prince and Chuck is left with, well not a lot.
Of course we get to see the morning after, well three weeks later. They are having a big meeting of everyone of course. Blair and Chuck seem to be getting on well. Along with everyone else amazingly. Charlie is leaving it seems and yet she was quite interesting, why she gotta leave? :(
Mature Chuck Bass seems to be going well, for him. Nate and Chuck plan their summer. Serena and Blair are planning their summers separately, they seem to be getting on well.
Of course I can see Serena doing a Pippa at Blair's wedding. Vanessa of course got the book published and is now running away, all the way to Barcelona.
Serena meets a new guy. Who happens to be something to do with movies and Serena gets an offer she cannot refuse.
Charlie is back in Florida but apparently she isn't Charlie, who is Ivy?!? Of course there was something going on with Charlie, who knew Georgina would be the one to see it. OMG!!! A Chuck/Blair baby?!? or a Serena/? baby?!?
Amazing Cliffhanger, I told you they would go out with a bang.

True Blood- So Far So Good

So lets start with where my obsession began. It was at the gym, i was waiting for my friend to finish getting changed and so i wandered over to the swap a book shelves to waste some time and found a mixture of the series. Of course after hearing all the hype i picked up one to see what all the fuss was about. I picked up Living Dead in Dallas, this is the second book in the series and i thought i should find the first one first but didn't bother thinking i would probably be returning it the next day. But no it was amazing so when I went back to the gym the next day i picked up the rest of the books. I have now managed to read all of them but the short stories and last one. I love every single one of the stories.
So of course once I had started to read the books i wanted to start the TV series, i am now half way through the second season and think it is pretty awesome even though it really does not stick to the plot of the books.






Okay so the series is all based around a telepathic barmaid, Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), from Bon Temps, Louisiana. She works at a bar owned by her good friend Sam (Sam Trammell). This is a very small town and so there is not ussually a lot of excitement, that is until Bill (Stephen Moyer), the vampire moves into town and Sookie realises she cannot read his mind.
With him comes a lot of trouble, namely Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) and his sidekick Pam (Kristin Bauer). This gets a little tiring for Sookie who is still trying to balance having a normal human life. Her brother, Jason (Ryan Kwanten) is oblivious to the whole world she has now been sucked into. Her friend Tara (Rutina Wesley) and Laffayette (Nelsan Ellis) tend to get sucked in as well usually against their will.


 I know since the birth of twilight a lot of vampire book series, movies and tv shows have come out of the wood works so i was a little worried about this one but actually I think (now don't kill me) that i may like this series more than the twilight.

NEWS!!!!!

YAY it has just been confirmed that One Tree Hill has been confirmed for a new series along with Nikita. Hellcats however has not been renewed!!!!
Okay so I Love One Tree Hill so I am pleased about that and i like Nikita so that is good, I have watched clips about Hellcats and it looked good but not excellent.




So, should I still give the first season of Hellcats a chance?
Pleased about One Tree Hill?
How do you feel about the CW's choices?
Where do you think all the new series they have talked about are going?

Gossip Girls Season 5 news

Okay so this is a post now that we are coming to the end of the season with all the news you may need.

So for the first bit of news, Jessica Szohr and Taylor Momsen are not coming back for the next season of gossip girl it has been confirmed, which is sad because i really love Taylor Momsen.

Glee's moving

Okay so it was announced yesterday that Channel 4 have stopped negotiations for the next season of Glee. They said they would much rather spend the money on more home-grown tallent and bringing the best over from the states. This has caused speculation about where Glee might end up, most people saying Sky but I really really hope not.

What do you think?
Do you think channel 4 should fight?
Do you think Sky is taking over the world?
Let me know in a comment.
