The Jungle Book Official Trailer

So the new jungle book trailer launched yesterday and it looks amazing. We hear the familiar Scarlett Johansson in the voice over, giving a chilling yet creepy speech as the snake Kaa. She asks Mowgli (Neel Sethi), "Are you alone out here?" and tells him to, "Trust in me!" I was highly anticipating her breaking out into song, which would have been great.

We see our familiar panther Bagheera (Ben Kingsley) first meeting Mowgli, a familiar lion Shere Khan (Idris Elba) and a clip of Mowgli riding on the back of Baloo (Bill Murray). When Kaa is revealed she is huge in comparison to Mowgli, I really like that they changed Kaa to a female as there was a complete lack of female characters in the original. Well besides the singing little girl with the big eyes, and Verna Felton who voiced an Elephant.

My childhood was flashing before my eyes as I saw a clip of King Louie (Christopher Walken) and his minion of monkeys, all that was missing was Baloo with a pair of coconuts. Lastly we are treated to Baloo, swimming backwards as Mowgli sits on him and whistling the bear necessities.

It looks visually breath taking, and really interesting. Definitely one for the kids and the adults who loved the original (me included). I really hope there will be those great catchy songs in it. I'm also hoping for my favorite group of characters from the original, the Vultures. I wonder if they'll still look like the Beatles.

Set for release in 2016 check out the trailer below. "Ooo I wanna be like you..."

Mental Illness in TV and Film - Dementors

Image Source Dementors have haunted me ever since I read The Prisoner of Azkaban way back in 1999. I was a Pre-Teen who was pretty much unaware of the depression that was just around the corner, in a way this book prepared me for what was to come, and after multiple reads, it became my go-to reference when explaining my depression. First off let's give a brief outline of Dementors, these magical wraith-like creatures can generally be found guarding Azkaban Prison, sucking the happiness, hope, and peace out of everyone around them. If you have had a horrible life marked by loss and abuse (just like Harry) you are much more affected by them than someone who has not, as they also cause depression and despair in there victims. They can sense and taste fear, but thankfully they can't seem to tell people of the same build from each other, and they are able to communicate wit

Jessica Jones Episodes 1-2

[Courtesy of Marvel/Netflix] Jessica Jones launched this Friday and after a weekend of mostly binge watching I decided it was time to talk about it. I really enjoyed this show and will be giving my opinion on the first two episodes below. SPOILER warning for those who haven't watch any of these episodes as I will be analysing each episode. A.K.A Ladies Night [Courtesy of Marvel/Netflix] So in the first episode Jessica (Krysten Ritter) is a loner, she stays from people as they just cause complications. We get a sense that she has done something, something dark, but we don't quite know what it could be. The day starts with an argument with a client who she throws through her door, she then narrates her typical New York day, and she ends it by spying on Luke Cage (Mike Colter). She wakes up in her apartment to find Malcolm

Thanksgiving

[Courtesy of Fox] So I'm Scottish and we don't get the whole Thanksgiving thing, but I have watched a lot of movies and television which give the rest of the world a nice little insight into this holiday. So you have time off work, you're not taking part in those crazy sales (which have also became a tradition over here, thanks), and you're stuffed from eating your weight in delicious foods. What do you watch? Harry Potter [Courtesy of Warner Bros] So I don't know about you but nothing screams November more than our beloved Harry Potter, and there are eight movies for you to binge watch throughout the weekend. I just rewatched these and they hold up, you'll feel the magic, panic and feel relieved as the battle comes to a close. Witness Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), a poor orphan boy who lives in a cu
