Latest 127 Hours Trailer

Danny Boyle took his career to the next level last year when he produced Slumdog Millionaire, a movie which fully deserved the hype and attention that surrounded it and of course the Oscar that it received.

After going rather quiet, he was rumoured to have been offered My Fair lady and the new James Bond, the Oscar winning filmmaker is back with his new movie 127 Hours.

127 Hours is already turning heads as Boyle brings the amazing true story of Aaron Rolston to the big screen, which James Franco in the leading role.

The movie follows the remarkable adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crashes on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah.

Over the next five days Ralston examines his life and survives the elements to finally discover he has the courage and the wherewithal to extricate himself by any means necessary, scale a 65 foot wall and hike over eight miles before he is finally rescued.

Throughout his journey, Ralston recalls friends, lovers (Clemence Poesy), family, and the two hikers (Amber Tamblyn and Kate Mara) he met before his accident.

Will they be the last two people he ever had the chance to meet? A visceral, thrilling story that will take an audience on a never before experienced journey and prove what we can do when we choose life.

127 Hours is released 7th October. Take a look at the new trailer for the movie:

Hereafter Images

A Clint Eastwood movie is always an exciting must see but when he reunites with Matt Damon, their second film together after Invictus, then you know that it’s well worth a watch.

And team up they have for new project Hereafter, which also stars Cecile de France, Jay Mohr and Bryce Dallas Howard.

Hereafter tells the story of three people who are touched by death in different ways.

George (Matt Damon) is a blue-collar American who has a special connection to the afterlife.

On the other side of the world, Marie (Cecile De France), a French journalist, has a near-death experience that shakes her reality.

And when Marcus, a London schoolboy, loses the person closest to him, he desperately needs answers.

Each on a path in search of the truth, their lives will intersect, forever changed by what they believe might–or must–exist in the hereafter.

Take a look at some images from the movie:

International The Social Network Trailer

Hard to believe that the rise of Facebook would result in a movie that sees David Fincher, the man behind Se7en and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, behind the camera and Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake, Andrew Garfield on the cast list.

But that is exactly what has happened, and the movie has already topped the U.S. box office.

On a fall night in 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea.

In a fury of blogging and programming, what begins in his dorm room soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication.

A mere six years and 500 million friends later, Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history… but for this entrepreneur, success leads to both personal and legal complications.

From director David Fincher and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin comes The Social Network, a film that proves you don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies.

The Socail Network is released 15th October. Take a look at the new trailer for the movie:

Men Are So… Good At Playing It Cool

Now we get down to the nitty gritty dating advice… as I’ve found out where I’ve been going wrong, it’s time to learn about how we should be meeting guys, how we approach them in a ‘neutral’ manner which makes him think we were just wanting to speak to him to ‘get’ something, but then decided to keep chatting to him because he was so good at helping us with our problem.

The only thing is, it sounds as though acting like we’re not interested is the most effective way in bagging our fit guy. I know this sounds about as useful as someone telling you’ it’ll get easier’ when you boyfriend dumps you the day before valentines day, but I’m going with it for now.

If we don’t want to scare a prospective date off, it seems as though we can either strike up the conversation with a need for information such as asking for the time or directions or by having a shared experience.

Need for information is an easy thing to grasp, so ill give you an example of when I put the ‘shared experience’ approach into practice. Brace yourself, it’s cringe worthy.

I spent last weekend strolling around a bike show, and as my ‘fit guy radar’ is always on, it didn’t take long before I spotted the hottest motorbike rider I have seen (this year) walking around with his leathers tied around his waist looking like an actual GOD.

I was too terrified to talk to him at 7am – as I still looked a bit like a zombie and had already drunk two cups of coffee so my breath probably smelt worse than my old maths teacher – but by lunchtime I’d popped in some gum and was ready to strike! It didn’t take me long to ‘bump’ into him, and as I walked towards his garage he flashed me a smile that made my entire face turn as red as a letter box and me suddenly want to vomit all over the floor. I pushed on though, a bit of sick isn’t going to stop me chatting to this hunk.

Luckily he’d won the race which meant I opened with the brilliant compliment of “Good ride this morning, well done on your win, did you enjoy it?” casual and complimentary, tick! He then told me a bit about the race and as if by magic we were pretty much just chatting normally.

Suddenly it was time for the afternoons entertainment to start so I had to leave him, but alas, I’d not gotten any of his personal information so had no way to contact him and set up some hot date or anything. He didn’t even know my full name, there was no way he was going to find me on Facebook…. Was there?

Oh yes there was! The next day I had a friend request from said boy. God knows how he’d found me, but he had, and I took this as a real sign that he was interested and a date was on the cards. That was until I found out he was only 18. An amazing five years younger than me. That’s that then.

So ladies, a mutual experience is a great way to start talking to fit guy, but please make sure he’s old enough before you start picking out your wedding dress, however, a sneaky tongue sandwich never hurt anyone…

Surprise, Surprise, Someone Wants To Cash In On ‘Bully’ Cher Lloyd

Cher Lloyd, the wannabe ‘Jenny from the block’ might be a bit closer to the gangsta character she plays on stage than we might think as she has only been accused of being a bully in school!

Some lass called Ophelia Blakeway has been quick to get her five minutes of fame off the back of Cher’s time on The X Factor, and blabbed to The Sun;  “She made my life a misery for two year,”

[picappgallerysingle id="9912686"]

She then went on to claim; “I want people to hear the truth about what Cher was like. Everyone is making her sound like an angel but she caused me a lot of pain. I’ve had problems ever since. I’m still trying to get over depression. I had counselling, I cried, I was self-harming. It’s not nice because I have the scars.”

Personally we can’t seem meek little Cher charging around the school playground picking on little Ophelia, BUT as someone who was bullied at school myself I’d warn Cher to be careful if there is truth to this story, it could jeopardise her entire career… but at least Gamu might get a look-in eh?
