Who Ya Gonna Call?


Ghostbusters that's who! I don't know about you but I am pumped for this movie. Woman taking on male driven franchises is a great thing and these four women all have the comedic chops to take on said role's. Now a whole bunch of stuff has been leaking from set and I'm here to take you through them and to give my opinion on them. Enjoy!

Bill Murray (Peter Venkman) will be taking on a new role in this movie. He will reportedly be playing Martin Heiss, the main debunker of all things supernatural, think Walter Peck in the original. Dan Aykroyd (Ray Stantz) is reported to be playing a taxi driver and Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddemore) has also been cast in a unspecified role.

But in the most recent of news from the set it has been confirmed by director Paul Feig that Miss Sigourney Weaver herself has also been cast for this movie. I have no idea if she will reprise her role of Dana Barrett or if she will be taking on another role entirely but from the looks of things the latter may be a distinct possibility.

I'm a bit ambivalent to this news, one the one hand I'm disappointed as I would have loved to see the old cast reprise their roles for this movie. But on the other hand I'm pretty excited to see something new and I think it's a bold, creative move. I believe the easy thing would be to give the old cast their old roles back by passing the torch and by not doing this the movie would be doing something new and different. I guess we'll just have to wait to July 2016 to figure out if it was the right way to go.

DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS!

Game of Thrones - The Hall of Faces Trailer and Theories!

I've been watching out for this trailer for the past week and was pretty excited to see some footage from the new season. Instead we got to see the faces of characters, some of whom are long lost, and others who have yet to leave us. SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't caught up with season five. The trailer takes place in the Hall of Faces, which is inside the House of Black and White in Braavos. The hall looks great, creepy but great. We can hear some whispers which are too quiet for me to make out. Then Ned's (Sean Bean) face appears on screen, we then hear him say a line from the show's first ever episode called Winter is Coming.    "The Man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." The screen then fades to black and we then see a clip of some more rows of heads. We then hear even more whispers and which I think sounds like some drops of waters. We then hear the voice of Robb Stark (Richard Madden) who we hear give a quote from seaso...

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 affecte...

My week off!

             [Quickmeme] Hello everybody. I took an inpromptu week off this week. Was only meant to be for Thanksgiving weekend but on Sunday I started to get a bad flu. Still not quite right at the moment. Chicken noodle soup would be great at the moment.                                   [USA Network] So what have I been watching on my week off? Besides the shows I usually write for this week I started watching Mr. robot, and I have to say it is pretty great. Think Fight Club meets The Social Network, very much shot like a David Fincher movie. It's gritty and had me hooked pretty quickly. Definitely a must see for those who haven't watched it already. [Paramount Pictures] So I decided it was time to watch some Christmas Movies and I popped this on. I thought it would be great and I'd be instantly transported back to my childhood. It wa...
