What new movies are you looking forward to?

Hi, everyone! :D

Now that I've seen Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (and had some time to get over it... okay, I'll admit, I'm still not over it and I will probably never get over it, haha!), here are a couple of movies that I am looking forward to:

1. Paranormal Activity 3 -- I've seen Paranormal Activity 1 and 2 - I wasn't too crazy about the first one, but the second one was pretty good. I definitely want to see where and how all the paranormal activity began.



2. Margin Call -- I'm usually more into romantic comedies, but I do watch serious movies from time to time, and Margin Call looks like a really good one - plus, the cast is fantastic!



3. New Year's Eve -- I've seen a lot of comments on different websites about how this is just Valentine's Day all over again with the all-star ensemble and the story being centered on one specific day, and it probably will be the same, but that won't stop me from watching this movie... and I happen to love Valentine's Day. :)

I'm just not too sure about scruffy Ashton Kutcher being paired with Lea Michele? Hmmm... but who knows, right? Watching the trailer is making me all excited for Christmas and New Year's. :D



4. Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows -- I loved the first Sherlock Holmes, so I am excited to see this movie. I'm just a little sad that Rachel McAdams won't be in this one, but hey, Noomi Rapace (aka Lisbeth Salander) will keep Holmes and Watson company. :)



5. The Hunger Games -- I just want to say thanks to all the bloggers who tirelessly blogged about The Hunger Games trilogy. :) If I didn't hear about it from you guys, I probably wouldn't have read all three books, so thanks!

No trailer yet, but they do have this awesome movie poster:

*I hope it's doing the whole burning thing right now...*



Oh, and Entertainment Weekly released new stills from the movie!!!

Katniss and Gale

Ummm, I am liking Katniss' boots and jacket! :)
Is it just me, or are her hunting clothes a bit too pretty? Haha. ;)

Peeta!

When they first announced that Josh Hutcherson was cast as Peeta Mellark, I wasn't quite sure if it was going to work... but hello, that is so Peeta! Well, at least from how I imagined it...

Way to go, Josh Hutcherson!

Gale and Peeta

Soooo excited! :D

Which of these movies are you most excited to see?

Yay, it's Friday tomorrow! :)

Harry Potter... IT ALL ENDS. Give me more Kleenex!

Happy Friday!

So yup, after months of waiting, the day has finally come... it truly is the end of an era. *Sigh*

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 has already earned $126 million -- it hasn't even been in theatres for a full 24 hours... simply phenomenal. Okay, I should warn you guys, I'm probably gonna be gushing about Harry Potter for the remainder of this post. ;)

All the actors in this movie did a brilliant job (well, maybe Bonnie Wright could've done a better job at the bridge scene and the "19 years later" scene, but it's okay, I still loved the movie!).

Daniel Radcliffe did an amazing job. I am convinced that he is really Harry Potter, I mean who else would Harry Potter be besides Daniel Radcliffe, right? Haha, I hope that made sense.


"How dare you stand where he stood. Tell them what happened that night. Tell them how you looked him in the eye. A man who trusted you, and killed him!"

Rupert Grint... he's always been my favorite!!!
He can make you laugh and cry at the same time.


Emma Watson... the girl can do no wrong. One of her scenes made me tear up... I'm not gonna say which one though. ;)


And of course, the Ron and Hermione kiss! Some people say it wasn't good enough, but hey, we waited ten long years for that, so I am not complaining... now if only Rupert and Emma can be a real-life couple, haha. ;)

Matthew Lewis - I know the web has been all abuzz with how dashing our dear Neville Longbottom is in real life... come on, have you seen his recent red carpet photos?

I love how Neville shined in his own way in this movie. Yay, Neville! :D

Voldie, Voldie, Voldie... greatest villain of all time! Ralph Fiennes, you are amazing!


Snaaaaaape, I always knew you were good!


The flashbacks that explained Snape's background were a bit hurried, and it's probably confusing to those who haven't read the book, but I think they did it the best way they could. Alan Rickman is absolutely brilliant, I wonder why he's never been nominated for an Oscar...

Professor McGonagall!!! I love her.

"Potter, it's good to see you."

Fred and George -- my favorite twins ever!


Tom Felton... I love how well he portrayed Draco - Tom can make you hate him in one scene, and pity him in another.


Not gonna lie, it's not the same without Crabbe...
(No offense to the new guy, though... he was a good replacement.)


Our favorite witch and wizards. :)


I really hope they have more movies to come after Harry Potter. These three can totally be the next Colin Firth and Hugh Grant and Kate Winslet. ;)

Ten years, wow, ten years... what am I supposed to do now? No more Harry Potter books or movies to look forward to. :(

I was only 11 years old when this started, I honestly feel like I grew up with them... well, I did in a way. :)

Anyway, the movie... It's the kind of movie that will make you feel excited, make you cheer, make you laugh and cry, make you feel nostalgic, make you sad, make you feel happy -- it will probably evoke every kind of emotion there is. It was fast-paced, action-packed, and you can tell everyone involved in it did their best to give us the best ending possible - an ending that gives justice to this epic saga. I wish they added more dialogue to the "19 years later" though, but I understand it's a long book - and despite that, I still think they did an amazing amazing job with the movie. It's a beautiful ending to a beautiful story. And yet I still can't believe it's over!!!

Excuse me while I get some more Kleenex...

Do you need to dry your tears too? Well then, let's watch this funny video! :)


Robert Pattinson -- American? Whaaat?! Haha.
I think it will be easy for Tom Felton to get American roles, how excellent is his American accent? Rupert's expression when he asked if the Chips Ahoy were really chewy is priceless!

Have you seen Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2? Thoughts? (without spoiling anything though, haha) ;)

I love Harry Potter! :D

Happy Friday!!! :D

If you've read a lot of my older posts, you probably remember me telling you guys countless times how much I love Harry Potter. Haha, and here I am again with yet another Harry Potter post. ;)



What do you guys think of Pottermore?

------------------------------------

The last movie is almost here -- there are posters everywhere! And I can't get enough of these two trailers! ;)





I have goosebumps and I'm teary-eyed.
I think I'm seriously gonna cry! Haha. ;P

Harry Potter fans -- Are you guys excited???!!! :D

Movie: The Tourist

Happy Wednesday!

I've had some free time over the past week to watch some movies, and of course, time to share them with you guys. :)

One of the movies I watched was the much joked about The Tourist.


During an impromptu trip to Europe to mend a broken heart, Frank unexpectedly finds himself in a flirtatious encounter with Elise , an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path. Against the breathtaking backdrop of Paris and Venice, their whirlwind romance quickly evolves as they find themselves unwittingly thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse.

***from Yahoo! Movies***



Although the critics and movie reviews weren't so good to The Tourist (not to mention Ricky Gervais and his jokes when he hosted the Golden Globes), I still thought it was a fun movie to watch. Did they deserve a Golden Globe for their performance? No, but why should it matter so much when they didn't even win, right???

The Tourist is not as action-packed as other Angelina Jolie or Johnny Depp films. It's not like Wanted or Salt or Mr. and Mrs. Smith, that's for sure... but I think that's the charm of this movie: it's a bit more mellow, but still exciting (and funny!). :)

Angelina Jolie looked absolutely beautiful! And her clothes and jewelry = wow!

It was refreshing to see her as kick-ass, but graceful and vulnerable at the same time.


Johnny Depp, on the other hand, played his character really well. He played every bit the college professor/ American tourist that his character is. He's funny and endearing -- I'm not a fan, but I loved him in this movie!


And even if you are not a big Angelina Jolie or Johnny Depp fan, just seeing Venice (and some of Paris) is worth sitting through this movie. :)





I want to go to Venice! ;)

I'm not gonna say anything more other than I don't regret seeing this movie. It was good. :D


Have you seen The Tourist? Any thoughts?
