Trailer Tuesday #6

This one that has been out for a little under a week now and it's called 'The Book Thief'. This has to be one of my favourite books of all time. I cried and cried throughout it. If you haven't read it, I seriously recommend doing so before you see the movie. To put it simply this is one of those books that will change your life. It's such an incredibly moving and eye opening book and the way that it is narrated is simply amazing. It's actually narrated by Death, the Grim Reaper. My problem with the trailer is that I can't tell whether they've translated that narration into the film. So far it doesn't look like it, and I'll be so disappointed if they haven't. His narration is probably my favourite reason why I love this book. 

I have to be honest with you guys and admit that I don't really want to see this movie. I know I will, hell, I'll probably go on the first day, but sometimes I feel like some books should not be converted into films and this is one of them. I'm hoping they prove me wrong though. 

'The Book Thief' is released in cinemas on November 15th. 

Trailer Tuesday #5

I don't think I've done a 'Trailer Tuesday' that hasn't been for a movie. So here's a bit of a change for everyone because today's trailer is for a television series!
Some of you may know that all I have been watching for the past two weeks has been Teen Wolf. I got so obsessed that lately I've been dreaming about it. Instead of stopping completely like I normally do, this time I was determined to catch up because the mid-season finale came out today/yesterday in America. You'll be pleased to know that I made it. I'm all caught up on Teen Wolf and after tonights sleep I probably won't be dreaming about it again (or at least until January when the season starts up again!). 
The trailer I've got is a pretty poor quality one, and I promise you I did go in search of a better one but I couldn't seem to find one anywhere. I'll try and update it later when more high quality versions come out. 

Also, I feel I should let you know that Teen Wolf has now been added to 'My Favourites' page, filed under 'Television Series'. It's a pretty huge step because I only put things I absolutely love on there, so I thought it needed a little announcement. 

Teen Wolf Season 3B begins on January 6th 2014. 
Is it just me or does that sound like a lifetime away? 

Trailer Tuesday #4

You may (or more likely, may not) be interested to know that I actually study art history. So you'll have to forgive my extreme excitement over George Clooney's latest film which he is not only starring in but also directing, co-writing and producing. This movie combines not only my love for history and art but also my love of Matt Damon and Cate Blanchett. Monuments Men is set in World War II and is a based-on-a-true-story film about allied soldiers who protected and returned the art which the Nazi's had stolen. 

This is one of those films where just the cast can draw you in as not only does it include Clooney, Damon and Blanchett but also Bill Murray, John Goodman and Jean Dujardin. Just one more film to add to my must-see for 2013 list!

Monuments Men is released in cinemas on December 18th, just in time for Oscar nominations. 

Trailer Tuesday #3

Who's the master: the painter or the forger? 

David O. Russell's latest project, The American Hustle trailer came out last week and I watched it with eager anticipation. Like his previous work, Silver Linings Playbook, the cast for this movie looks absolutely amazing. Christian Bale is the main drawcard for me, and then there's also Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams,  Jeremy Renner and Robert De Niro to add to that too.

The trailer includes very little speaking and gives so few details of the actual story away. It's kind of refreshing seeing a trailer do that these days, seeing as most of them today just give the whole plot away in the one and a half minutes they have to entice you to see it. I love the music they used for the trailer, Led Zeppelin's 'Good Times Bad Times' which is the perfect song for the era of the film and is such a perfect focus the trailer seeing as there is so little dialogue. On the other hand, the trailer left me with absolutely no idea what the movie was about. I googled it, and it turns out it's based on a real life FBI case known as 'Abscam' which was an investigation of corruption in the U.S. government.

What do you guys think of the trailer? Like or dislike?

Trailer Tuesday #2

The werewolves are here to save us

... never thought I'd say that.

I saw the trailer for this movie a very long time ago. I hadn't read any of the books yet but eagerly watched it because it included one of my all time favourite actors Robert Sheehan who I had fallen in love with in his role as Nathan in Misfits. Then I saw it also had Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Lena Headey . . . and Aiden Turner . . . and Kevin Zegers . . . and Jaime Campbell Bower . . . and I realised that this cast was pretty damn perfect. 

Now that I've read the book and am half way through the series this is one film that I am absolutely hanging out to see. The stuff from the cast at comic-con also didn't help, and I fell in love with the rest of the cast that I hadn't been very familiar with before. I will definitely be seeing this one on the day it comes out. Lucky it's not too far away now.

Mortal Instruments: City of Bones comes out in cinemas on August 22nd in Australia. 

Will you be seeing this movie? Or is there something else you're pining to see? Let me know in the comments! 

Trailer Tuesday #1

As I wrote in my Weekly Review post earlier this week, I promised that I had few things up my sleeve for improving my blog. Trailer Tuesday is one of these and hopefully will be something you guys like and I can write one for many Tuesdays to come!

This week I'm talking about two trailers, both of which I am frothing over. Both you might have seen, but I'm hoping at least one is relatively new to you guys. 

The Wolf of Wall Street trailer did come out a while ago, I admit. This has not stopped me watching it at least twice daily. This is an example of a perfect trailer. Scorsese. The music of Kanye. The editing. Leo. 
Yesterday I asked myself a very tough question "If you just had to watch one movie at the cinema for the rest of the year, what would it be?". With so many great ones coming out, you can understand this question was impossible to answer. I got it down to a top three, and this was definitely one of them. 

The second Catching Fire trailer is so amazing. It's one of the other three movies in my top three (the third is The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug) most anticipated this year. What I like about this trailer is that it is a continuation from the first one they released. The first one focused a lot on the revolution going on and didn't include anything really about the Quarter Quell (and hence there was no Finnick, which is the main thing, lets be honest). This second trailer on the other hand, focuses much more on the Games and shows not only Finnick but a lot of the other contestants too. 
I'm really sorry but while I'm writing this the trailer isn't up on youtube, I think it's a copyright problem as it was just shown at Comic Con. I will edit this later to include a trailer for it. Instead I've added the small part Finnick is in (so worth the wait for this, right guys?).

Let me know what movie you would pick if you could only see one more in the cinemas this year.
