Trailer

A slight variant to my usual news-y/gossip posts but....

Everyone has to follow this link and see the new Sweeney Todd trailer!

Sweeney Todd at MovieWeb

The film is directed by Tim Burton and stars Johnny Depp (as Sweeney Todd), Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman and many more.

It is due to be released on 21st December.

The trailer just seems incredible, very Burton-esque and very sinister. It seems that it will be an amazing movie!

I can't wait!!!

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry


Another side-splitting comedy from Sandler's 'Happy Madison Productions', I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is fresh, new and hilariously funny.

The film is an interesting tale of two straight fire-fighter friends, Chuck and Larry, who get married to protect Larry's pension benefits because as a single, widowed father of two, he is unable to name his kids as his beneficiaries.

The couple's marriage and civil partnership is challenged by the state as officials start to pry into their private life. This throws up a whole new set of obstacles as they try to prove their 'gayness' with entertaining consequences.

Adam Sandler and Kevin James have excellent on-screen chemistry and they make a strangely believable couple which means that the comedy keeps flowing. The film is definitely not short of laughs.

Sandler re-joins his old friends Allen covert and Steve Buscemi in this movie. I love his continuity in starring alongside these two in many of his films, it allows fans to feel 'in the know' as they recognise these returning faces.

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is definitely a film not to be missed. It's a fresh idea and is entertaining from start to finish.
