More films to watch out for...

For the past few days I've had incredibly bad writers block, its been so bad,  that I couldn't even collate a sentence together. BUT NO MORE. I've made a promise to be more productive with my days, and so today actually I posted 4 more tweets than usual- I'm now unstoppable. I think my writers block was mainly due to reading the disappointing news that Baz Luhrmann's new film, "The Great Gatsby" was being postponed until summer 2013. So, I've been on a mission to discover any other new releases that may be able to fill the void. Here is my updated list:

"The Hobbit" (2012)

Oh man, how have I neglected to mention this film? The classic J.R.R Tolkien novel, 'The Hobbit' has been turned into a film. Directed by Peter Jackson and with a screenplay adapted by the likes of Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro. The cast is ample with amazing actors such as Benerdict Cumberbatch, Orlando Bloom, Cate Blanchett, Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Billy Connelly. Simulary to Lord of the Rings, its set out to be a classic and simply a darn good film. Admittingly I have never been a fan of Lord of the Rings but for some reason 'The Hobbit' has always been one of my favourite pieces of literature. Here is the trailer:

"Skyfall"(2012)

James Bond. 007. Returns. I've heard it's better than "Quantum of Solace" (2010). That's all I need to know.

"Cirque du Soleil- World's away" (2012)

I vividly remember going to see Cirque du Soleil perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London, several years ago. they were touring with their show, "Alegria" and I was captivated and confused at the same time. Questions like How? Whaaa? and phrases like 'Holy crap!' were expressed as the show progressed and I still remember the theme song (not only because a friend of mine had it as her bridal entrance music to her wedding) The colours, the music (sung in different languages- everyone is included) the acrobats with hoops and other various props, the men in tights- it was a hell of a show so I'm certain this film will be just as exceptional:

"Great Expectations" (2012)

After the amazing television adaptation that was on British screen last christmas I'm unsure whether the film will live up to the series's name. Directed by Mike Newell and starring some...names: such as Helena Bonham Carter, Jason Flemyng, Robbie Coltrane and David Walliams (it's true, imdb doesn't lie). I love the storyline of "Great Expectations" and it is one of my favourite Dickens novels but i'm unsure whether it is the right time for this film to come out relative close to the TV series. Hmm thoughts? Here is the trailer:

I believe I've managed to convince myself that the late release of "The Great Gatsby" (2013) will not leave a black hole in the films-I-must-see list as there seems to be many other films to come and fill the gap.
