Hmm, the last two were both Joss Whedon, go figure. I really enjoyed all of these... so already my summer movie going has started out right XD<br /><br />Prometheus will absolutely be on the list of things to go see (the preview is really well done, and has increased my anticipation for this movie ten-fold), as will Brave (I'm really excited about a Scottish Disney "Princess"... and Pixar hasn't steered me wrong yet)<br /><br />The Dark Knight Rises will also be on the must see list, because I kind of love Batman, plus I'm interested to see how Anne Hathaway does as Catwoman. I've found that she's an actress I often underestimate, and will pull out stellar performances from the roles I expect her to do poorly in... and unlike Spiderman, I've really enjoyed the Christian Bale as batman arc of Batman movies. Yes, Bale's Batman voice can be a little over the top, but then, so is dressing like an enormous bat and fighting crime. XD I thought Heath Ledger as the Joker was amazing... and I'm hoping for the same sort of shock and awe performance from the actors cast in this newest one.<br /><br />I'm also kind of interested in seeing Snow White and the Huntsman, all of the previews make it look like Charlize Theron does an amazing job at being the Evil Queen.<br /><br />And I have to admit, I will absolutely be there for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. I read the book, and I LOVED the book. It was an amusing twist on history, and I don't think Mr. Lincoln has ever been quite so bad-a$$. Yes... he was an amazing president, and his real world feats are pretty bad-a$$, but this book was just a lot of action-packed adventure that follows Lincoln's timeline, but inserts snippets of the paranormal in a way that is really fun (haha, like the man needed more of a mission than he already had XD)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111661500387424612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571238967019462780.post-84955963499812121462012-05-19T04:58:50.247-07:002012-05-19T04:58:50.247-07:00I'm hopeless, when I go to the movie's it ...I'm hopeless, when I go to the movie's it can't be violent, can't be out of space, or ninja type movie's. It has to be a wonderful story that ends up with happy ever after.<br />HugsKays Kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827563377809065783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571238967019462780.post-81929155052610447472012-05-19T01:50:47.741-07:002012-05-19T01:50:47.741-07:00I can't remember the last time I was that exci...I can't remember the last time I was that excited that I had to carve out time to go to the cinema rather than wait for a film to come out on TV, and although MIB3 will be funny, I'm sure, I'll wait for that to hit the small screens. As for the rest, none of them are really doing it for me, and I never got the vampire thing either, especially the Twilight series!<br /><br />Book wise, there's a new Christopher Brookmyre coming out, which I can't wait for, but it's Glasgow based humourous crime fiction, so might not be as appealing to you. Can never be bothered with book that are just romance, so I can skip that 50 shades book (that I'd never heard of before anyway!)Katy Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374079358515448439noreply@blogger.com
