{FILM SPOTTING}
March has me very confused as to what to see :] There’s nothing that has me seriously excited, but an abundance of things that I wouldn’t mind seeing. I rather think this means that I’m not going to see even half of what’s in this post ;-P
Watchmen (USA, 2009)

This is just sacrilege ;) No, seriously… there’s so many people like me, who are very nostalgic about the original. And the original really hasn’t aged badly… Unless they intend to do a very, very different film then this is suicide IMO :]

Doc Alliance is a new project, which seeks to make documentary films easily available to purchase for people. I rather like the idea :)

So, er, I accidentally stumbled upon a pic of Daniel Radcliffe smoking. And to my own surprise I found it bothered me! The weird thing is that most of the actors and celebrities I like are smokers and it has never disturbed me before. I mean for example Shahrukh Khan, Robert Pattinson and Tom Felton [...]

They’ve released a making of kind of clip which has quite a few new shots from the film. Some of them are pretty cool :)

The clip has naturally got me all the more excited (I’m a really easy publicity target, aren’t I? ;) ) and I felt like writing out all the stuff that caught [...]

In case you’re wondering, I still haven’t quite gotten over my Tom Felton fixation (and it’s been going on at least a week or so longer than this blog would suggest btw). So I’m going to celebrate my fixation with some more interviews *grin* (and I hope the fixation goes away soon lol cause interviews [...]
