OMG! CHECK THIS OUT!

HOW COOL DOES THIS LOOK!?

The Big Chill... I Spit on your Rave...shambles

Last weekend I went on a camping expedition to Eastnor to attend the Big Chill Festival. What should I find there? Noel Fielding shooting scenes for his up and coming project entitled "I Spit on your Rave". It is set in the future a few years after a virus was let off at the 2012 Olympics and practically everyone is now a zombie (who are all attending a rave). The film needed a crowd scene full of zombies so the organizers ask people to participate. Here are the pictures to prove it.

Now I was a huge fan of the Mighty Boosh first and second series (not the third!) and last year at the Big Chill, Noel and Julian did some late night comparing. Lets just say it was not good! Scripted stuff, they can be VERY funny, but improvising? :/
Whilst they were filming the scene for Noel's zombie film, they had moments when nothing was happening, but Noel still had to keep his audience entertained, errr... he really wasn’t that great. Granted, this is mine and my friends opinion, other people may of found him very entertaining...I have yet to find them. The weekends comedy bar was certainly set by Russell Howard, VERY entertaining.

Anyho, here is the official trailer.

Whip It!

DREW BARRYMORE IS DIRECTING NOW!!! Her film is called “Whip It” and it stars Ellen Page (Juno) as a girl dragged to beauty pageants in the 60’s when it is the last thing she wants to be doing. What she does want to be doing is Roller Derby. The only way to describe it is female gladiators on roller skates. It looks A LOT of fun and I will definitely be going to the cinema for it!

J'taime

When out at my weekly shop in Asda I came across “Closer” for the grand total of £2. From what I remember the reviews were mixed, bordering on dislike for the film starring Jude Law, Julia Roberts, Clive Owen and Natalie Portman.

Personally I though “Closer” was brilliant. It was originally a stage play were Clive Owen had once played the character of Dan (played in the film by Jude Law). Instead he played the character of Larry, a nice genuine guy with a huge libido. The each one on one scenes Clive has with Natalie, Jude and especially Julia are quite amazing. His rollercoaster of emotion when he is told that he has been cheated on is so captivating; I challenge everyone not to see Clive’s merit as an actor.

Another shining star from the film is Natalie Portman. Child actor who made an effortless leap to adult role I can’t help but not look up to Natalie. She is an intelligent, brilliant actress and (now that you can get the “New York, I love you” trailer from Apple where I was very impressed to see that) she is now dabbling in directing!

“New York, I love you” are from the same producers of “Paris, J’taime”, which was a film that was made up of a collection of short love stories grouped together under the same location, Paris. Now they have moved over to New York where they have a constellation of Stars appearing, including Orlando Bloom who personally, I thought had turned into a black hole after the Pirates of the Caribbean series. I am very much looking forward to this film coming out.


Another Natalie film that is coming out soon is “Brothers”, a film starring Jake Gyllenhall and Toby Maguire. Its about how a women deals with the death of her soldier husband and how his brother steps up to the plate to look after the family his brother left behind…but he isn’t really dead and he comes back from the war not fully of sound mind. It is a social drama bringing up the issues posed to people who have to deal how to normal life after war. It looks to be a very intense drama. Watch out for it!

Classic

I watched Disney's Aladdin this morning.
You can't beat a good Disney film when Robin Williams is using his voice.
Classic!
