First up coming soon to the blog video reviews and updates will start being posted these will include movie reviews and latest dvd updates, hopefully the first video will be up by the end of the week commencing 8th November.
Plus with MGM's financal woes finally being dealt with after accepting Spyglasses offer, they have announced their first tentative release date for a movie, and what movie would that be, just a little thing called Bond 23, hopefully we should see this film sometime in November 2012, at least MGM are sorting out their major franchises before anything else.

Batman Update
A new update on the next Batman film has been reveled this week by director Christopher Nolan, he has asked people to stop refering to his next film as Batman 3 and call it by it's newly reveled title, 'The Dark Knight Rises', also after fanboy talk pretty much had everyone convinced that the next villan would be The Riddler but Nolan has quashed these rumours this week anouncing that although he refuses to anounce who will be the caped crusader will be battling but it won't be the riddler, but he has anounced that although he will be introducing some new characters he will be using many of the existing characters, does this mean that we might have a third appearance of the scarecrow?
Finally after all of the films currently going through the 3D process Nolan has refused to cave into studio pressure and has refused to present the film in 3D instead more Imax meaing more stunning scenes such as the opening The Dark Knight.
Ladies and Gentlemen Hollywood has a saviour.

Batman 3
Batman 3 is finally getting underway and first up for casting is Tom Hardy of Inception and Bronson fame, it is unconfirmed as to what part he will play, plus rumours have been going around that the new film will be based on the graphic novel Prey, with the books gritty feel and a plot that fits well into the cliffhanger ending of The Dark Knight, i can already feel that Christopher Nolan may be on the cusp of creating a trilogy that will stand the test of time and appear on list that feature such greats like The Godfather Trilogy and The Dollars Trilogy.

Alice In Wonderland (2010)
Mia Wasikowska: Alice
Johnny Depp: Mad Hatter
Helena Bonham Carter: Red Queen
Anne Hathaway: White Queen
Crispin Glover: Stayne
Matt Lucas: Tweedle Dee/ Tweedle Dum
Stephen Fry: Cheshire Cat
When Tim Burton announced that he would be creating a sequel to the much loved story Alice In Wonderland many people couldn't wait for it, the strange, warped world that is Wonderland fit right in with Burton's quirky style, but the big question is, is this the movie that we were expecting or just another over-hyped, under performing let down.
Well in my opinion this was definitely worth the wait, although this isn't the film that many people were expecting this is just what I wanted to see, what Burton has crafted is a dark, humorous and at times creepy world that is long way away from the world that we saw in previous movies such as the Disney movie.
Starting in Victorian times a 19 year old Alice is stuck at a tedious garden party that she really doesn't want to be at and after a rather awkward marriage proposal she runs off following a rather unusual looking white rabbit that is wearing a waistcoat, once she finds the rabbit hole that rabbit has gone down she looses her footing and falls down the hole that is much more familiar to her than she originally realises, after a short while of exploring she runs into some creatures who appear to know her, this is out first introduction to some familiar faces including Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum both played brilliantly by Matt Lucas and the White Rabbit voiced by Michael Sheen, Alice is then taken to see the Blue Caterpillar brilliantly voiced by Alan Rickman to see if this is the person that will fulfil an ancient prophecy and bring peace to Wonderland after discovering that Wonderland is now being ruled by the evil Red Queen, although they are soon interrupted by the queen's guards who capture many of the creatures with Alice just escaping, then appearing from nowhere she is greeted by the Cheshire Cat voiced by Stephen Fry who takes her to visit the Mad Hatter. From this point forward Alice and the Hatter set off on an journey to rescue the creatures of Wonderland and help Alice fulfil her destiny and restore peace to Wonderland.
The first major plus point of this movie is the cast which doesn't have a weak link anywhere from relative newcomer Mia Wasikowska as Alice to Johnny Depp who is perfectly cast as the Mad Hatter and who steals the show. The second plus point are the visuals, Burton has done a phenomenal job in making Wonderland a stunning place to look at, from the dark, misty forest to the crisp, clear visuals of the White Queen's castle and all of the amazing creatures this is without a doubt one of the best looking films ever made, finally a fantastic, inventive story that puts an interesting spin on the Alice In Wonderland story.
Without a doubt this is a must see movie and further cements Johnny Depp's versatility as an actor.
