I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date! [Alice In Wonderland]

Alice In Wonderland

Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Helen Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway & Alan Rickman.

[2010] 

A film by Tim Burton.

Disney's wonderful adventure to Wonderland. Now, listen up gentlemen.. and ladies, the only way to achieve the impossible, is to believe it is possible. Yes, that kind of thinking could ruin you. But guess what, you're mad, bonkers, off your head. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.

This tale is about many things, but mainly, it's about a girl. I'd know that tangled mess of hair anywhere. Is it Alice? Alice Kingsleigh to be precise. Whether she is the Alice, or the wrong Alice we do not know. If she was, she might be. If she isn't, she ain't. But if she were so, she would be. But she isn't nohow. It's absolutely Alice! You're absolutely Alice! I'd know you anywhere. I'd know him anywhere! ;) ..uh, I mean her. ;) Almost Alice, Absolutely Alice.

Down with the Bloody Big Head! ..the Bloody Big Head being the Red Queen. An interesting fact about her; "I love tadpoles on toast, almost as much as I love caviar".

I've been considering things that begin with the letter "M". ..Moron, mutiny, murder, mmmalice.

What's that? "We're looking for an "A" word now. Where is Alice?"

Who, that wee little boy? I wouldn't know.

What if I take off your head? Will you know then?

Hmm.. probably not. ;)

I like you, Um. I like largeness. <3

A quick side note - you're all mad. Thanks very much ;)

Well, off with his head! Oops. I meant.. on with the tale.

In the land of Wonderland. There's many ways to travel. Anyone can go by horse or rail, but the absolute best way to travel is by hat.

I travelled by hat. It truly is the absolute best way to travel. During my time in Wonderland, I've been shrunk, stretched, scratched and stuffed into a teapot. I've been accused of being Alice and of not being Alice. I can quite certainly tell you, I am not Alice.

I tell you what though, the Hatter did say something rather, mad, to me. He told me that I was not the same as before. That I was much more muchier. That I had lost my muchness. I disagree.

Sometimes I believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast. Yes, all before breakfast. That is an excellent practice. However, just at the moment, you really might want to focus on the Jabberwocky.. behind you, right there. I'm absolutely kidding.

Six impossible things.

One, there's a potion that can make you shrink.

Two, and a cake that can make you grow.

Three, animals can talk.

Four, cats can disappear.

Five, there's a place called Wonderland, or as others call it, Underland.

Six, I can slay the Jabberwocky.

 

If you haven't seen Tim Burton's 2010 version of Alice in Wonderland, you're certainly missing out! Wonderland has come alive! And you're invited! It's truly amazing!

Now, don't be late for tea.

The Hatter doesn't like it when you're late.

The end.

Yours truly,

B

You've Got Skills [Knight and Day]

Knight and Day
[2010] Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz.

Rating: M

"No one follows us, or I kill myself, and then her." Sounds impossible right? Well when it comes to super-spy Roy Miller (Tom Cruise), I'm sure he'd somehow find a way. In this action-comedy, June (Cameron Diaz), gets taken on the ride of her life.

Get your passport ready, we're heading to Boston! When June meets Roy, she thinks she's met the man of her life, her "knight" in shining armor.. or is he? Who is he, really? Knight and Day is one journey, filled, with adventure!

What do you do when everyone on the plane is dead, except for you and a stranger you just met? Kiss him? Sounds good! ;)

Cruise and Diaz will take you on one magnificent adventure! Once you've spent a few weeks with a highly trained super-spy, you become a pro.

Let me guess, you're asking "Why the rat race?". A battery. It's all about a battery. Not just any battery. A battery powerful enough to power a small city and even a large submarine. What's better, the guy who invented it is barely out of high school. Simon, Simon Feck. A genius, a very wanted genius.

This is definately one experience, you don't want to miss.

Blue Boy [Megamind]

Megamind

Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill & Ben Stiller.

[2010]

A supervillain, who is almost always unsuccessful, can't be much of a supervillain, or can he? From the studio that brought you "Shrek", "Madagascar" and "Kung Fu Panda". Dreamworks' "Megamind" is the most blue supervillain the world has ever seen. Not to mention, probably the most unsuccessful too. Directed by Tom McGrath, with Will Ferrell (Megamind), Brad Pitt (Metro Man) and Tina Fey (Roxanne Ritchie), this is one superhero comedy animation worth seeing.

Suddenly, Megamind's evil plan to kill the invincible hero Metro Man, actually works. After years of Metro Man outshining him, he's finally defeated him. Megamind, the new ruler of Metro City, or as he calls it, Metrocity. What a life! All the money he wants, the paintings he steals, it's all his, all of it! What could be better?! But then again, what's a supervillain without a superhero to stop him?

With a cast of Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill and even Ben Stiller, who could ask for more?!

The Magical World of Pandora [Avatar]

Avatar
[2009] Sam Worthington, Zoë Saldana.

As one life had ended, another had only just begun. James Cameron's Avatar is definately one of a kind. It opens up a whole new world, filled with hate, love and betrayal. It's more than just a science fiction movie, it's a brand new adventure.

Avatar created such a buzz across the world. There's just something about it that draws you in. This incredible story will have you sitting on the edge of your seat. The cruelness of some people, and the acceptance of outsiders is truly astonishing.

Jake Sully, lost his legs, then, his twin brother. In the year 2154, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a former marine, takes his brother's place, a scientist trained as an avatar operator, in the Avatar Program, with no training at all. His first day in Pandora, he's attacked by a jungle predator, running for his life, he's left alone, in a world he doesn't know and doesn't know what to expect. Neytiri (Zoë Saldana), a female Na'vi, comes across him. That's where the real story starts. The increasing bond between Sully and his avatar is incredible, along with his feelings for Neytiri.

 It all comes down to a choice, a choice between the life he left behind and the incredible new world he's learned to call home. There's no other movie like Avatar. It truly is one of a kind! No matter your age, no matter your genre, it'll be like you're right there with them. In the magical world of Pandora.

Now that's magical! [Bedtime Stories]

Bedtime Stories

[2008] Adam Sandler, Courtney Cox, Russell Brand.

Once upon a time in a magical faraway kingdom, Los Angeles, California, there was a hard working, helpful janitor. Strikingly handsome.. almost. Who lived in a room at the hotel where he had grown up with his father and sister.

Now this janitor had been working his butt off for years, you'd think he'd be a shoo-in to rule the hotel right? Right! Wrong. Actually, it wasn't even run by his family anymore. He was in fact, just the son of the founder, the original owner of the hotel, great Lord Marty... or just Marty...  and knew everything there is to know about running a hotel, everyone just took him for granted. His name was Mr Underappreciated.

What's "underdemeciated"?

Under de-what?

Underdemeciated.

That's right, I forgot you were six.

                                                     *      *      *      *      *      *

Adam Sandler stars in this adorable comedy as Skeeter Bronson - the hotel's maintenance guy.

Like in everything story, there's a guy that gets it all, the job, the girl, everything - and his name is Sir Butt-Kiss. And he spent all his days kissing everybody's butt. Or so I've heard. There's kids in the story too! Mistress Stinky and Master Smelly. Hey-oh! Stinky and Smelly also goes by the names Bobbi and Patrick - Skeeter's niece and nephew.

The hotel where Skeeter works was where he grew up with his sister. Their father owned the place, he was a great father, but not so much a business man. The place was going broke, that's when Barry Nottingham comes in. He buys the hotel and makes it 10 times bigger and fancier! Then he announces - "My new champion is... Sir Butt-Kiss!"

Sir Fix-A-Lot, also known as Skeeter, was devastated. So, Sir Fix-A-Lot moved into a giant shoe, got a bad case of athlete's face...

Wait.. that's not how it goes.. oops. Carry on.

Suddenly, Sir Fix-A-Lot gets a shot! It's up to him to beat Sir Butt-Kiss. In celebration, Stinky and Smelly did the fastest Irish jig ever. Even Prince Bugsy busted out some fancy moves.

And then... and then...

It started raining gumballs!

I know what you're thinking - "raining gumballs?"

Why not?! It's a bedtime story. Anything can happen!

That's so true ;)

The next morning came and it was breakfast time, banana on rice cake with wheat germ and to add a little flavour, mint toothpaste! Mmmm yummy! I like it. A rice cake-banana-wheat germ sandwich. It's good because, now we don't have to brush out teeth.

Oh, I forgot to introduce Bugsy! Bugsy is a guinea pig, or otherwise called by Violet, the hotel ownér's daughter, a fat mouse. He makes a perfect little powder puff.

Violet's a princess, a glamorous princess. Patrick doesn't like her though, he thinks girls are "bis-crusting"! But when it comes to Trisha Sparks, that's a different story, she's hot ;)

Weird things happen in this movie, although it's only right, seeing it's a bedtime story. Patrick has a substitute teacher with an eye patch, there's a red horse, hamburgers are life changing and Skeeter sees London, he sees France, he sees his golden underpants!

Before you say "Where's the arc? There's no arc. I've not learned anything." Here's a question for you - Haven't you heard? Goofy's the new handsome!

Oh! And Mickey (Russell Brand) -  Actually, really likes ketchup on his face, because it's really rejuvenating for the skin!

Don't forget..

I don't know but it's been said Bugsy's eyes pop out of his head.

And one more..

Your fun is only limited by your imagination.

One more thing!

Skeeter's the coolest! I'm a nerd ;)

The End

Now that was truly magical!

Kidnap My Heart [Taking 5]

Taking 5

[2007]

In 2007's, Taking 5, two outcast teenage girls take obsession to a whole new level! Devon and Gabby aren't the most popular people at high school, infact, far from it. They're the dorks.

But when energy drink Shift announces that they'll sponsor a free 5 Leo Rise (Devon's and Gabby's ultimate favourite boy band) concert for the high school that collects the most bottle labels, Devon's room becomes filled with them. In order to win though, Devon and Gabby team up with the 2 popular girls. Devon and Gabby don't like them, and they don't like Devon and Gabby. But they've got one thing in common, they all love 5 Leo Rise. D&G collect over 500, 000 labels.

The morning of the special assembly, with all the labels on stage behind the curtain, along with D&G and of course the queens of the school, D&G accidently light the labels on fire! Automatically no longer counting. If they weren't outcasts before, they certainly were then - not only did they light the labels on fire, but along with popular girl Kirri's hair! No need to worry though, they have got a plan!

With the help of Devon's admirer, Lincoln, and his mate Pete, they plan to kidnap 5 Leo Rise. Lincoln being a pro pranker. It's not as easy as that though. But they luckily manage to kidnap four members of 5 Leo Rise.

What do you do with 3 rockstars after you've kidnapped them?! Private concert? Throw eggs at one? ;)

Starring boy band The Click Five as 5 Leo Rise.

Who's That Girl?

Well there's your first clue of who I am. Have you ever seen the movie 'The Nanny Diaries' starring Scarlett Johansson? No? Yes? Doesn't matter. The story is told by Johansson's character Annie, she refers to the parents who hired her as a nanny for their little boy, as Mr and Mrs X. Hayden, her love interest, played by Chris Evans, until the very end is referred to as Harvard Hottie. I think you get my drift. You can call me "B".

I've always been interested in movies and videos, mainly the watching part, but recently I've come to like and enjoy making videos myself. So in the meantime, here's just a few movies I've seen ;)


P.S. Don't even bother trying to guess my name, have you seen the size of those baby names books?!
