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.

David Emanuel and His Dog
Welsh born fashion designer, David Emanuel, who created the late Princess Diana's wedding dress, was spotted in Pets at Home last Saturday with his puppy.
The designer was seen in the Newport Rd store with his new Bichon Frise. He was busy spoiling the pup with treats, toys and essentials.
The visit came as quite a pleasant surprise to customers and staff in the store alike. Perhaps one of the last people you're expecting to see when you're stocking up on dog food and cat litter is a famous designer.

Ireland need to pull up their socks
After two Rugby World cup games, it is clear that Ireland are not playing to their strengths.
The Irish team struggled in their 32-17 win against Namibia in their opening game last week. Namibia should have been a 'walk in the park' for Ireland, having never before won a World Cup Game but, it wasn't so easy.
Their match against Georgia on Saturday was no better. Ireland scraped a 14-10 win.
There seems to be none of the Irish fire that I'm used to seeing when they play rugby. Their drives have lost their power and their ball handling seems to have deteriorated.
I'm praying for an Irish World Cup win but, the boys are really going to have to pull their socks up to keep that in their sights. As long as O' Driscoll continues to be fit to play, I have hope, but Ireland really need to start working more as a team.
