Monday Madness

I had big plans for bloggish stuff over the weekend, but between some kid wrangling and me not feeling my shiny best I didn't get to do anything - which is usually the way when I get my planning on.  But what did I find when I checked in this morning, some fantastic new followers - welcome, enjoy, feel free to comment and generally have a good time.

Beautiful things arrived in the post last Thursday, perfect for the mood I've been in the last few weeks.  The cute has come from Pretty Whimsical on Etsy.  The pendants are made using wooden scrabble pieces from the 40's and 50's.  I'm in lust at the moment, they're just so darn cute! 

I've been watching lots of period drama - the latest being the 2008 itv version of Wuthering Heights, with Tom Hardy portraying Heathcliff, he was so good, to me he nailed the character, thank goodness I was lying down - there was swoonage.  Today Wide Sargasso Sea came in for me so I'll get to snuggle on down with that tonight.  I've seen the '93 version before, but not the lastest version.  I'm so looking forward to Jane Eyre, which is coming out this month.  Hence me watching Wide Sargasso and hopefully I can get our bookclub to read Jane Eyre this month.

Here's the trailer...I just hope that it gets released in Australia the same time it does in the US.  It looks deliciously menacing.

So what's your favourite period drama?  Which adaption do you like the best?

Mmm...I forsee more popcorn dinners in my future.

I've gotten side tracked - yet again - by some new stuff I'd like to see. My list is growing a whole lot faster that I'm watching stuff at the moment. But no doubt I'll get to them eventually.

First up with Chris Evans, Dijimon Husson, Dakota Fanning, Camilla Belle etal.

Next up is the very cool Where The Wild Things Are. It's based on the book of the same name & it looks fantastic, I'm hoping that it is.

I want to see this as well, it's all a bit thrillery. It has Sarah Michelle Geller & the guy from Final Destination 2 & the guy from that other movie...you know the one...that movie with the actor guy.

Possession


And this looks funny too.

Talk to Me


This looks so silly, but I wanna watch it anyways :)

Fired Up! trailer


And this looks good too. It's got Sam Rockwell in it, he did the sexy dance in Charlie's Angels 2 after he's all "I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it".

Choke


Ok, have to stop watching trailers!! I need to go do other stuff. Enjoy, no doubt I'll find more.

More movies I wanna watch

I found this through @insidefilm today on Twitter, Daybreakers which is out in January in Australia. Take a looksee, it has Sam Neill, Ethan Hawke, Willem Defoe, Claudia Karvan & Isabel Lucas. Shot in QLD, it's got vampires!!



And them I found a different trailer for G.I Joe that I hadn't seen before, it's got Channing with no top & I got all cited!!



I think it's got a fairly high chance of being crap, but I don't care, I wanna watch it anyway. Well If there's no more bloggy goodness for the rest of the weekend enjoy yourselves :)

Some new movies I wanna see.

While looking at the New Moon trailer I found some other new stuff that I wanna watch when it comes out. First up is Sorority Row, which is a horror and seriously, who doesn't love a movies where annoying sorority girls get dead?

and then there's Fighting, with the very lush and very buff Channing Tatum, it's got all a girl could ever want from a hotboy movie...a hotboy (obviously), some fighting, said hotboy with no top on looking suitably pretty. Plus it's got other stuff as well, but I didna really pat attention to that so much cause he was all hot with no top on :)

Then there's Bruce being all hiyaa! in Surrogates, which is based on a graphic novel and actually looks kinda cool, cept for his scary hair. That was the only thing I didn't like.

Looking forward to them!!
