S.

"He arrived knowing nothing of himself. Who is he? Soon he will know, because what begins at the water shall end there – and what ends there once more begin. This is what happens: Men become lost; men vanish; men are erased and reborn."

In August a mysterious teaser trailer appeared on Youtube titled "Stranger". All that was known was that it was the trailer to an upcoming movie by J.J. Abrams. But now the meaning behind the minute-long video has been revealed!

 The trailer, depicted entirely in black and white, shows a man being washed up upon a beach at night. A figure holding a lantern then approaches the camera and the face of a man with his lips sewn shut emerges. The text "Soon he will know" then appears. Each word then disappears one-by-one until only the word "Soon" remains; the final taunt of the tease.

 Overlain this is a monologue of a man speaking the above speech. It has now been revealed that this is a reference to the fictitious novel "S." by Doug Dorst. Abrams has adapted "S." into a movie with the assistance of Dorst. In the novel, a woman finds a book (Ship of Theseus) left by a stranger. In the margins the stranger has left a myriad of margin notes. She responds with notes of her own, replacing the book to where she found it to begin an unlikely conversation.

 The real question is, can this project live up to the remaining mysteries that us mere mortals can't resist?

Disney's Best

There are HEAPS of Disney movies that we all love as classics, but here are my top 3 favourite!

The Lion King (1994)

As one of the highest grossing animated movies of all time, I'm sure that I am not the only one who loves this movie. Not only has it been re-released as a 3D movie, but it has also produced a hit broadway musical, now being the 7th longest running musical.

If you haven't seen the musical, its definitely worth it - the costumes are amazing, the music brought to life....It's the cirrrcle of lifeeee....haha....but seriously you may be a little skeptical, but just be a little simba-thetic and it and you will enjoy it too!

So here is an interesting fact: the film was originally going to be a rivalry between lions and baboons, Scar being the lead baboon....Rafiki would have been a cheetah! Also the team that were creating and working on this film were the Disney "B team", just being occupied while the "A team" made pocohuntas. Laslty...Pumba was also the first Disney character to display flatulence..good on ya Pumba haha!

Toy Story (1995)

Toy Story...well it is part of a extremely successful trilogy. I think it fulfils every child's dream or suspicion that all their toys come alive when they leave their room or aren't around...even now, lets be honest, that would be pretty cool if it was true, haha not that I have a woody or buzz sitting on my bed but ya know ;)

This was the first fully computer-generated movie. Amazing animation, cool characters, people still dress up as them at halloween/ parties, kids and adults alike love it!

A bit of Toy story trivia:
- Whenever a character blinks, its never at the same time as another character.
-Woody and Buzz were inspired by the directors favourite childhood toys.
- One of the other possible titles was "You Are a Toy"
- Early scripts has a barbie as Woody's girlfriend.
- Only Pixar film to have full opening credits.
- Sid Phillips was based on a previous Pixar worker.

Aladdin (1992)

A great mix of adventure, comedy and classic Disney romance topped off with a few moral take home messages. I can watch this movie over and over, my nieces and nephews love it, who doesn't?

I recently had a murder mystery party, and went as the Genie because he is the most awesome character. Jafar is a great "bad guy" with his parrot sidekick. Love how Aladdin has the monkey sidekick - one on both sides!

Ok time for some Aladdin trivia:
- Robin Williams (the voice of the genie) improvised so much during recordings that they had over 16 hours of material.
- It was the first animated movie to gross over $200 million
- An imax version of the film was planned but not released
- There was a rumour that Aladdin said "take off your clothes" while on her balcony but really he was talking to the tiger and said "Nice kitty, take off and go, go on". Consequently this part was taken out of the 2004 platinum edition.

LOVE Disney, they are all such good clean films, kids love them as do the adults and keeps everyone entertained. However over the years Disney have ventured further and further out of their comfort zone I think, although thats just my opinion. Anyway awesome top 3!

FAST AND FURIOUS 6

MOVIE REVIEW: Fast and Furious 6.

As the poster says "all roads lead to this". The Fast and Furious series has come along way from tuned up cars with playstations and artistic vinyl on the side of the car. It has evolved into a more mature feel with the implementation of vintage muscle and luxury cars. For some, it may not be as appealing as the concept of the movie has driven away from street races, but has evolved into a more criminal concept of robbing banks and transporting money for the cartel. Despite this transition, the fast and furious series does not fail to entertain with high speed chases, explosions, gun fire and fight scenes.

Fast and Furious 6 links in the plots of the previous fast and furious movies. The plot is decent for a movie filled with cars and action but this does not take away from the action and occasional humor. The locations of the movie add a major factor with insance chases through busy streets and cliffhanging actions scenes down a highway and a ridiculously long runway. The teaming up of Vin Disel and Dwayne Johnson is a massive plus and also sexy girls like Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez and Gal Gadot. The movie is action packed and contains a ton of cars we wished we had.

Rating: 8/10

One Direction: This Is Us!

Not exactly sure if you can call this a movie...more of a documentary, but it hit big in the cinemas, so I guess it counts right? haha! Now don't get me wrong, I am in no way a massive die hard 1D groupie, screaming at the very sight of them like a teenage girl, quite the opposite...in actual fact before watching this (having been forced to by my niece) I knew very little about these boys. I do like their albums though and may have listened to them on the way to work each day for a while (yep one of those guilty pleasure bahaha).

Opinions, criticisms and all negativity aside.....lesbihonest here....they are international superstars. Having number 1s in 37 countries....holding numerous sell out tours, even just the evidence of having this movie shows they have hit the BIG TIME. And all this from the beginnings of x-factor, a show that they didn't even win! 5 ordinary guys to 5 idolised popstars in the space of a few years....

So back to the movie....it follows their story, their background, their journey so far. Opening weekend it made $18 million in the U.S of A! - basically all the teenage girls of America!

There isn't really much I can say about the movie, it was probably a waste of my time watching it and I will never watch it again, but thats mainly because I'm not too bothered about how they became famous or about their individual backgrounds, all I need to know is they started on xfactor and now sell millions of albums which has made them hugely famous.

We did see clips at the end of the movie with some pranks being pulled off....which would have been better if they had used things like that as a premise for the film, instead of just somewhat fake and scripted tame versions of the 5 personalities.

Anyhow, if you are a teenage girl of course you will love it....if you are a parent having to take your daughter then unlucky haha. Other than that I don't see a reason why people would go see this....

Rating 3/10 (and it only gets that because I like their music :P)

P.S. I must say though this music video to their latest single did make me laugh!

Catch Me If You Can (2002) - Crime, Drama

It is a 2002 American biographical crime comedy-drama film based on the life of Frank Abagnale. The first half of the film starts when Frank runs away from home when his parents get divorced. In order to survive, Franks develops (Leonardo DiCaprio) his cons from a substitute teacher in his French class to cheque fraud, and expands to con the identities of Pan American World Airways pilots, a doctor and lawyer.

Reasons to watch it

1. ·         The director of this movie is Steven Spielberg
2. ·         A cat-and-mouse game between  Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks
3. ·       The story is remarkable, Frank is ballsy enough to con his way out by trying various        occupation including doctor, pilot and lawyer.

My favourite quotes  

“Frank Abagnale: My name is Frank Abagnale. Not Abagnalee not Abagnaylee but Abagnale!”

“Carl: Tell me Frank, how did you cheat in the bar exam?

Frank: I didn’t cheat, I studied for two weeks and I passed”

“Frank Abagnale Sr: Two little mice fell in a bucket ofcream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn’tquit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butterand crawled out. Gentlemen, As of this moment, I am the second mouse.”

Rating: 9/10
