I like both the old series (at least most of them) and some of the later films – and indeed I was a bit late to the party, but really liked the 2009 Star Trek ‘reboot’.
I have to say, this sequel looks amazing. Looking forward to seeing it on the big screen!
Two new films that I saw trailers for when seeing The Hobbit in 3D, I thought Hansel and Gretel looked particularly up my street!
Let me know what you think if you’ve seen them, though no spoilers please…
The Hobbit is coming at last!
*UPDATE I have now seen it in 2D and 3D, and love it – roll on the next instalment.
I haven’t seen this one yet, but it looks as though it will be good! There seems to be a surfeit of fairytale films and TV programmes around and in the making at the moment – including Once Upon a Time, which started on Channel 5 tonight.
I have recorded it, and will watch both with interest. I have already seen the trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman – no idea whether it will be good, but it is beautifully shot.
I have some posts in the pipeline, but in the meantime while I’m studying for my exams – please feast your eyes on The Artist.
It’s no secret that I love old black and white films, so this is right up my street. I daresay many of you will have seen it already…
Back soon!
I love Nightwish, so I was particularly happy to see that they have a new album out this week: Imaginaerum.
Here is their first single – Storytime.
I don’t necessarily buy into this theory, but the film does look amazing!
What if Shakespeare didn’t write his own work?
I know, another Jane Eyre. But somehow, this is ok with me. It’s one of my most favourite books of all time, and as long as the actors get it right, which they often do – I can cope with another version of the story quite happily.
Here is the trailer for the 2011 version with Michael Fassbender *sighs*
I hope I get to see this at the cinema.
New films, werewolves, dark fairytales – what’s not to love?
We’ll see then, eh…
One Christmas when I was a child, I remember watching a TV programme set in a beautiful country house (makes so much sense now, lol), with ghost children and a scary moving statue of St. Christopher.
I never managed to see the end, which made me sad for many years, especially as I never knew the name of the story.
I later found out it was called The Children of Green Knowe, one of a series of books by Lucy M. Boston. You can find now, luckily for me a copy of the original programme posted here (in parts). Interestingly, since I re-discovered it, a film has been made of the sequel The Chimneys of Green Knowe starring Maggie Smith, which is known as From Time to Time. I watched this on TV over Christmas (coincidence, again). It has some charm, – and was filmed at Athelhampton House - though I still love the 80s show best!
Here are the books in order:
I am now collecting the stories for myself! Also, Lucy Boston lived at The Manor, Hemingford Grey. You can understand where she got the ideas for such wonderful stories. One day I would love to see it.
