The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Trailer 1

Image
San Diego Comic-Con has delivered once again... and this time it's in the form of a trailer for the epic conclusion to Peter Jackson's middle-earth saga, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies . The trailer goes for a little over two minutes and is not full to the brim of information, but it had just enough to tell us that this movie is not going to be a happy one. In fact, just from the trailer it's fairly obvious that this is going to be the saddest of the three films. The trailer gives us a glimpse into the destruction Smaug is going to bring down on Laketown and also a little bit of insight into the battle of the five armies that will occur throughout the film. Most of the characters in the trailer were simply there to stare at one another, but we did get some dialogue from Bard, Thorin and a voiceover from Bilbo. The dialogue was mainly about the war, and about how Thorin would rather a war over peace. Although the film is still a little under five months away, ...

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 Teaser Trailer

Image
Well. After months of nothing but set photos and short 'Panem Address' trailers, we finally have some proper footage from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 . At San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend, Lionsgate released the first official teaser trailer from the film, and have dubbed it " Our Leader the Mockingjay ." Truthfully, the trailer really doesn't give us that much. We are introduced to Plutarch Heavensbee again and also to President Coin of District 13. We also get to see a brief shot of Natalie Dormer as Cressida. The main point of the trailer though is to show how Katniss is going to be used as the Mockingjay throughout the last two films. I'll admit, I was and still am sceptical about their decision to split the last book into two films since I remember when reading the last one not a lot really happened in the first half of the book, but I have hope after the first two films were fantastic adaptations of their respective novels. Running at o...

Under the Dome 2x04 Recap

Oh my gosh things are going wild on Under the Dome . Big Jim and Rebecca are trying to “thin the herd”, Julia is getting suspiciously close to Sam and Barbie and the teens were able to (mostly) figure out who Melanie Cross really is. SPOILERS AHEAD!! This episode pretty much followed two distinct storylines. The who is Melanie Cross storyline, and the Rebecca and Big Jim storyline. Rebecca has been keeping track of the town’s livestock since the dome came down, and when she discovers that a piglet has died from the flu she gets blood from the carcass in order to cultivate the virus at a lab. I’ve said it before and I will say it again. I do not like Rebecca Pine. I am fully with Julia on this one! When the virus is ready Rebecca tells Jim that by releasing the virus they are allowing natural selection to occur as only the fittest will survive. It is also revealed that once the virus is airborne it could potentially infect anyone, including Jim and Rebecca. Jim doesn’t seem...

Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

Image
When Frozen hit theaters last year, the world fell in love with an adorable snowman and two lovable sisters. Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Sven and Kristoff took the world by storm and the film's popularity simply keeps growing. This spring (autumn in America) Anna, Elsa and Kristoff will be appearing in a recurring role on ABC's Once Upon a Time , and a few days ago Disney's Circle of Stars released a cover of one of the movie's greatest hits, ' Do You Want to Build a Snowman? '. The pop version features 26 Disney Channel, Disney XD and Radio Disney stars in various lead vocals, harmony and choir roles. The song is truly something magical and the music video accompanying it shows that the Disney family is a tight-knit one. The stars of all our favourite Disney shows were seen in the video to be having fun recording the song, and behind the scenes videos revealed that the group don't often get to spend time with each other so coming together to do this cover they all ...

Under the Dome 2x03 Recap

  All is not right Under the Dome . But then again is it ever? In this week’s episode, while the residents of Chester’s Mill were trying not to get burnt from the blood acid rain, we were also presented with more questions rather than answers, though we did finally get some insight into who our mystery girl really is. SPOILERS AHEAD!! Right from the get-go this episode sets up conflict between Barbie and Julia. Heaps of sadness for me since these guys are my definite OTP of this show but what can you do? This episode also launches directly into the idea of faith vs. science (sound familiar?), which I’m assuming is going to be a recurring theme throughout this season. It’s fairly obvious that Barbie doesn’t trust our mystery girl, but Julia does. Oh and does anyone actually care that this is only the 13 th day they’ve known each other? Yet Barbie lays claim to the house in the first few minutes of the episode. I was half expecting Julia to turn around and say excuse m...

Doctor Who Series 8 Trailer Breakdown

Oh my gosh guys I am freaking out right now! The newest trailer for Doctor Who Series 8 is out and it looks incredible! At 60 seconds this is our longest trailer yet and although we still don't have plot lines for many of the episodes, this trailer has certainly sparked our interest. Chock-full of action, new monsters, returning monsters, familiar faces and our new Doctor, the trailer gives us plenty to be excited about before the show returns August 23rd on BBC One. So now I'm going to breakdown the newest trailer and see what it is we know so far. The trailer begins with some eerie shots of the TARDIS exploding, along with the eyestalk of a Dalek. Voiceover of Clara saying "[she] doesn't even know who the Doctor is anymore." Now that the Doctor has regenerated into Capaldi we can assume that he's going to take on a new view on life just as Tennant and Smith did when they took over from their predecessors, and obviously it's not what Clara was hoping...
