Just We Bought a Zoo, literally the only thing out this week. It is like a calm before the storm...there is SO MUCH coming out this month you have no idea. And I guess I'll be watching the last 45 minutes of Dead Man Walking tonight because I felt a little exhausted after seeing Tyrannosaur.
Video of the week...
THIS IS LIKE 2010 HAPPENING ALL OVER AGAIN WITH INCEPTION. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE THAT I CAN ONLY TALK AND THINK ABOUT IT IN CAPITAL LETTERS. I JUST WISH JULY 19TH COULD COME SOONER. I'M MORE EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE THAN I AM FOR MY NEXT FIVE BIRTHDAYS AND CHRISTMASES AND EVERYTHING ELSE MILDLY EXCITING. (if you hate Christopher Nolan, and shame on you, you'll want to steer clear of this site for the next few months).

Remember my post about The Cabin in the Woods going straight to DVD here? Well, there's a petition going. Please sign it. Even though it doesn't affect you, but still.

My Filmviews has started the Ten Best Actresses Relay Race, with a pretty brilliant list. It is going to be every inch as difficult as the actors one!
Kai looks at the top five great films that are too depressing to see again. Once Were Warriors, a.k.a. New Zealand's favourite film (I wish I was joking about that) is on that list. Wow.

Final word...
Who is your favourite character featured in The Avengers? Mine is Agent Phil Coulson. No jokes. He's the best.
Thanks for the linkage. I'm not enthusiastic about TDKR, but I might go and see it in theatres, so I'm not in the dark about everything.
ReplyDeleteHaha, if you don't, you will be in the dark. Mind you, I think you're a bit past caring about that.
DeleteI am shocked about Cabin being a straight to dvd film in NZ... mental chicken oriental
ReplyDeleteAin't it just ridiculous?!
DeleteI've sighed the petition!
ReplyDeleteAND YEAH CAPITAL LETTERS ONLY FOR TDKR! (you have no idea how I'm torn between The Avengers, Prometheus, and The Dark Knight Rises)
Thank you!
DeleteAnd since I've seen The Avengers I'm no longer torn. But The Dark Knight Rises has been my number one most anticipated film since the 30th of July 2008. No jokes.
Haha, I can believe that! The Dark Knight Rises is my #2 this year, following The Hobbit, but sometimes I feel I want to see the former more than anything else. Basically, I have extremely mixed feelings. That's why I'm torn between the other movies I've mentioned and they are actually not that much anticipated by me. If it makes sense.
DeleteI can't believe we got the Avengers before the US! I'm a little smug, haha.
ReplyDeleteI NEED TO FIND A QUIET MOMENT TO SIT DOWN AND WATCH THAT TRAILER - SOON!! IT'S BEEN ALL DAY AND I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET!
Thanks for the link :D
Haha, I feel so cool.
DeleteIT IS AMAZING. I'VE SEEN IT SIX TIMES ALREADY.
Thanks for the link Stevee (from both me, and when Andina sees this post, I am sure she'll be thanking you too!)
ReplyDeleteWatched the trailer and YES, YES, YES. *runs back into the living room to finish watching The Dark Knight for the 100th time.
I'm getting ready with you!
Aha, I wanna watch The Dark Knight again now. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that movie!
DeleteMuahahahaha! I'm smug too about how we got to see The Avengers before America. Thanks for the link, miss.
ReplyDeletePhil MotherF*ckin Coulson is amazing! Having said that, just based on the film I love Hulk and Loki (does he count though?)
I'M SO EFFING EXCITED TOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Haha, same. When everyone posts their reviews I'm going to be like "OMG, The Avengers is sooooooo last week".
DeleteLoki counts. I love Loki, even though he cheesed me off because of that spoiler we won't mention. The Hulk was awesome in that movie!
OMG I'M SO EXCITED I CAN'T BREATHE AND IT IS AGES UNTIL THE MOVIE COMES OUT.
I do love the pacing of TDKR trailer - the quiet music changing to the loud, love the soundtrack already. Too bad Bale still talks as if he had TB :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link! My favorite character is Black Widow, she was so awesome in the scene where she frees herself.
That music sounds amazing. My favourite part of the trailer. And yeah, Bane sounds weird, but in his defense he's wearing the weirdest mask ever. His voice is a lot clearer though, which sucks because my friend and I can't impersonate him anymore :'(
DeleteI loved Black Widow! That scene was awesome!
Well, it looks like I'll be the only one refraining myself from seeing the trailer. (Won't be easy but I'll try.) By the way, thanks for the linkage.
ReplyDeleteHaha, that won't be easy. I'm watching it every night before bedtime. No jokes.
DeleteAs much as I like Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson, I didn't go see We Bought a Zoo when it came out because it looked like a bland movie. The trailer just didn't interest me because I felt like those two actors could do so much better than that movie. Then again, it could be good. I may never know since I don't even plan on adding it to my Netflix list.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting on The Dark Night so that I can get caught up to speed when The Dark Night Rises comes out...now, THAT is a movie that I'm looking forward to checking out. I can't believe that The Cabin in the Woods is supposed to go straight to DVD in the UK. Here in the states, I almost saw that movie a few weeks ago, but opted for Wrath of the Titans instead. After hearing good reviews about Cabin in the Woods though, I just may check it out.
Thor would be my favorite character in The Avengers but honestly, it's probably whoever Jeremy Renner is playing! I'd like to find out how well he performs in a movie like Avengers.

Jeremy Renner is awesome in The Avengers! That's all I have to say.
DeleteThanks very much for the linkage, Stevee! As for favorite character in The Avengers, I really don't know because I don't really follow these new marvel superheroes. But still going to check it out later. I really enjoyed We Bought A Zoo, hope you do too.
ReplyDeleteI did quite enjoy We Bought a Zoo!
DeleteThanks for the link love Stevee. Always an honor to make this feature! Yea the coming weeks are going to be awesome, it feels like The Avengers is the unofficial start of summer! :)
ReplyDeleteAw shucks! And it feels like the unofficial start to Winter for me :P
DeleteThanks for the link, as always, you are too kind!
ReplyDeleteI will see TDKR in theaters, but I am not that excited about it- still, everyone is talking about it, and I usually want to see what all the fuss is about, so I will spend 10 pounds on it!
You're welcome!
