Joker and Harley Quinn Film in the works - Film News #1

DCEU Going For 'Crazy' Luck? I think it's fair to say that the DC Cinematic Universe up-to now has had a very topsy-turvy ride ever since its inception in 2013 when Zack Snyder took-up the directorial mantle to make Man of Steel . From the lauded reproval of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad  to the acclaim that Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman  feature received due to its boisterous and earnest tone which contrasts DC's overly sombre style, it's clear to see that DC's attempt of rivalling Marvel with their own franchise has had its fair share of frantic moments which haven't particularly played well with those who are passionately affiliated with the likes of Batman, Superman and other DC heroes most notably seen in the televised department. As much as DC die hard fanatics will be hoping that Justice League will top the tree in being the best superhero film to have come this year, which is highly unlikely if i'm brutally hones...

The New Year: Films To Look Out For In 2017

Image
Battle of the Sci-Fi's? The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written... Hello everyone and welcome back to the Blog. Happy belated new year to you all!! 😏🎉. Since this is the first proper Blog Post that I'm doing in 2017, I thought what better way to come back and write to you all, and tell you about the many great films that are set to be released throughout the year!! While there are some iffy features that definitely put the avid cinema-goer into a state of questioning, it's more than likely that the big names, that will be mentioned in this list of most anticipated films of 2017, will satisfy the viewing eye than what 2016 presented to us. Without further boredom and babbling on, let us go through the 'most anticipated'  films of this year!!...  La La Land - Damien Chazelle, 12th January While other audiences, in different countries, may have seen Damien Chazelle's work already, for us Brits, its set to...

Half Way Point: Best films of 2016... So far.

Image
Anthropomorphism for the win?! So we're roughly half-way through the year at this point and already we've had films that were unexpectedly good, and films that were hugely disappointing. For sure, I do think as we enter the Autumn and Winter, the cinematic quality will start to shine and this list, that I'm about to do, will indeed change. Be that as it may, it's still worth looking at films that have come out this year and seeing which, in my own opinion, have delivered in the highest proportions. So without further a due, let's see the films that I've chosen. (Just to note. This is my own list with my own opinions of films. You can freely drop a comment down below to say which film you've liked this year. I'm not going to put films that were nominated the last film awards. For example, even though I watched The Revenant this year, it won't be part of this list being that it was nominated for previous and various film awards. Keep in mind, I...

Mary Poppins sequel - THOUGHTS

Image
WHY?!... If I had to choose one aspect that annoyed me when watching any particular film in recent years, it would be how Studios and especially Directors who go out of their own imaginative way, to pursue a film idea that was either a reboot of a somewhat older but popular film that everyone had already enjoyed, or a unnecessary sequel to a film that had already done well on it's own and never in the slightest, needed another story to follow on. Now don't get me wrong, there has been the odd occasion when these reboots or sequels tend to work and pay off like with Peter Jacksons 2005 film of King Kong  (arguably) and with Brian De Palma's Scarface . Despite this however, it does anger and upset me when a well known film from way back when, is re-done in another film that honestly is worthless watching. It's imperative for the likes of Directors, Producers and especially the writers, to come up with a film that is o...

Pixar's upcoming films - THOUGHTS

Image
Reach for the sky?!... So continuing on from my last Post about the future and recent history of Disney's animation which I'll leave a link to at the end of this Post, today I'm going to talk about the latest news that came from Disney's D23 convention 2 Fridays ago in Anaheim where chief creative officer for Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios, John Lasseter and a rotating panel of film-makers and performers revealed a slate of upcoming animated projects for both Pixar and Disney. Now I'm not going to go into too much detail regarding the Disney Animation simply because I did in fact cover most of the titles that were mentioned in this expo in my previous Post about Walt Disney animation. Don't get me wrong however, there are 1 or 2 Disney titles that I will be briefly talking about that are certainly interesting to talk around. To simply put it, the major news that came from this Disney-fest came from the news surrou...

Lemony Snicket's 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' UPDATE #1

Netflix's Unfortunate Events Teaser?! So as promised with my last Film News post in which I talked about my thoughts on how the 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' is coming to Netflix in 2016 which you can check out here -  http://rabbittevision.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/lemony-snickets-series-of-unfortunate.html , I did mention that if there was any update on this upcoming series then I would share that info with you all as soon as possible. Obviously from the title you guys can deduce that there is an update... of soughts. Now at first after watching this 30 second 'teaser' I did think to myself that everything I had talked about previously was pretty much shown in this trailer. While it is a series that is mainly directed towards the younger generation, the trailer provided here does illuminate a certain quirky darkness which is something I appreciated a lot in the film adaptation of this story back in 2004. But, with all these positives that I had in my head a...
