Jane (Heigl) has been a bridesmaid 27 times and never close to being the bride. She is secretly in love with her boss Geroge (Burns). When her sister Tess (Akerman) shows up and ends up on the fast track to marrying George she cannot bear to stand by her side. Kevin (Marsden) is a reporter who writes about weddings and ends up writing a story about Jane . . .
The first part of the very popular Vampire novel’s made it to the big screen. With a lot of attention and fandom before it had even been filmed this was always going to be a hit. But how would those who have not read the books see the films?
Another new poster for the much anticipated Alice in Wonderland movie has been released this one featuring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. This is my favorite poster so far, but I think more will be released.
Onto another weeks review!

Quite a lot of character pictures have been released for New Moon, with the familar characters from Twilight but the new additions to the story of New Moon.
Still have lots more New Moon pictures that I have not posted, and because I watched Twilight last night as more build up to next week .I decided to post more pictures.
Well my “New Moon” challenge did not last very long at all. I have to admit that it is because as with “Twilight” when I read that last year, these books the way they are written some how consume me. I cannot really completely explain why exactly but it just happens and I really do not want to put them down. So I have two more to read being “Eclipse” and “Breaking Dawn” which I am sure will be done in the next couple of weeks.
I posted 4 “New Moon” pictures when they were released months ago now and have totally neglected to since post more . . . but reading “New Moon” (and almost being finished it) while also seeing loads of posters at the cinema yesterday has inspired me to post more in the build up to the release next week. Which I am so excited for now I totally got back into the book!
Just come across the exclusive clip of Kate Hudson singing “Cinema Italiano” from “Nine” which is a movie I am so much looking forward to. So check out the video of Kate singing 
A reporter(McGregor) attempting to head into Iraq might just have the story of a lifetime when he meets Lyn Cassady (Clooney), a guy who claims to be a former member of the U.S. Army’s First Earth Battalion, a unit that employs paranormal powers in their missions.
Just come across the poster for Amy Adams up and coming rom-com “Leap Year” which involves a tradition of a woman proposing to a man . . .
Last night I eventually decided to continue reading “New Moon” my new found push being that the “New Moon” movie comes out next week. Of course it will not be difficult to read the book in a week. I mean since last night I have read 180 pages . . . so I could possibly be finished it over the weekend. I knew it would eventually consume me like Twilight did, were you totally do not want to put it down! I read Twilight in such quick time. I did originally start reading this straight after Twilight but got distracted with something else . . . I cannot even remember what. But I am back on track now and have Eclipse and Breaking Dawn waiting to be read as soon as I have finished New Moon.
So Far I have to admit that I am not Edward’s friend for leaving. He has totally broke my heart . . . Bare in mind that I had already read this part before. Yet reading it last night it really hurt and struck me, I suppose I do have my reasons. I cannot really stop reading it . . .
So the challenge will continue . . .
After seeing the new posters and mentioning seeing the trailer at the cinema the other day in 3D. I decided to go on a search on youtube to find the trailer and post in on my blog. I really do just love Johnny Depp the more and more I see him. I do find this trailer very teasing as you do not really get to see much (which is a plus) but it really leaves you wanting more.
What do you make of this trailer?
Are you looking forward to this movie?
The second theatre moment I am posting, is from the “Hey, Mr Producer” show which was in tribute to everything Cameron Mackintosh had done for musical theatre. This is “You Gotta Get a Gimmick” from Gypsy featuring Bernadette Peters, Julia McKenzie and Ruthie Henshall.
Two more posters have been released for Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland”. So the build up continues for what has to be one of the movies I really cannot wait to see. Especially after seeing the trailer before “A Christmas Carol” the other day.
This poster for Matthew Broderick’s up and coming movie has been released. By the pictures on the poster it looks like it could be interesting. Especially with the tagline “happiness is a state of mind”.

The other day I posted this blog Cineworld: 3D Price Change however after going to see A Christmas Carol in 3D on Monday. I read the news article on the cineworld website wrong. It is still cheaper than before . . . only if you take your glasses back and not by much really.
It is 1.90 for adults if you have 3D Glasses
1.30 for Unlimited and Children
The 80p is extra on top of those prices for those who need to buy 3D glasses.
So, I was totally wrong in my last blog as it is not really that much cheaper.
Based on the Broadway hit about the life and times of burlesque dancer Gypsy Rose Lee and her aggressive stage mother, Mama Rose.
Remembrance day or Poppy day is celebrated on the 11th day of the 11th month, to remember the end of the First World War. As it was the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month that the war came to an end.
A two minutes silence is observed at 11am on the 11th (and on Remembrance Sunday as well). I was watching on TV live from Westminster, so had the 2 minutes silence. On Saturday at the Newcastle match we had a minute’s silence before kick off for remembrance day, as did all other matches across the football league.
The Queen attends Westminster and the silence is followed as soon as Big Ben strikes 11.
The Poppy quickly became part of this remembrance and are on sale for weeks before, and everyone on TV are seen wearing them. Which I think shows a fantastic type of togetherness.
We will not ever forget those who lost there lives in battle for us all to have a better life.
