New Image From The Hobbit

Now I am going to stick my neck out on the line here and predict that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will be the biggest grossing movie of 2012 – LOL!!

Rather obvious I know but I am super excited for the latest trip to Middle Earth and the return of Peter Jackson to the director’s chair.

And there if that is not exciting enough then we have a new image for you to feast your eyes on:

Sadly however we are going to have to wait until December to finally see the first instalment of the story.

Excitement over the movie will have reached fever pitch by this point but I can’t wait to see Martin Freeman take on the role of Bilbo Baggins!!

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is released 14th December.

Big Miracle Trailer

Draw Barrymore is set to return to the big screen next month with her latest movie Big Miracle.

The film is based on the inspiring true story that captured the hearts of people across the world as Greenpeace faced a race against time to save a family of whales.

And we have the latest trailer from Big Miracle for you to have a look at here:

Big Miracle tells the amazing tale of a small town news reporter (John Krasinski) and a Greenpeace volunteer (Drew Barrymore) who are joined by rival world superpowers to save a family of majestic gray whales trapped by rapidly forming ice in the Arctic Circle.

Local newsman Adam Carlson (Krasinski) can’t wait to escape the northern tip of Alaska for a bigger market. But just when the story of his career breaks, the world comes chasing it, too.

With an oil tycoon, heads of state and hungry journalists descending upon the frigid outpost, the one who worries Adam the most is Rachel Kramer (Barrymore). Not only is she an outspoken environmentalist, she’s also his ex-girlfriend.

With time running out, Rachel and Adam must rally an unlikely coalition of Inuit natives, oil companies and Russian and American military to set aside their differences and free the whales.

As the world’s attention turns to the top of the globe, saving these endangered animals becomes a shared cause for nations entrenched against one another and leads to a momentary thaw in the Cold War.

Big Miracle is released 10th February

We spend six years doing the chores

The average Briton will spend six year of their adult life cleaning, ironing and trying to get on top of the rest of the household chores, according to a new report.

And if that sounds crazy, a quarter of the population will go further and spend a full decade keeping their house in order. Researchers also discovered that people ironed a bizarre range of items including socks, male underpants, swimwear and someone’s hair.

The new study, by dry cleaning expert Johnsons Cleaners, discovered that we spend an average of two hours and 17 minutes on chores every day. But one in four Brits are more obsessed and spend up to four hours daily cleaning round the house.

Researchers also found that women still do the majority of the household chores. In six out of ten homes the female of the house is responsible for tasks such as the laundry, hoovering and dishwashing.

In a quarter of homes the duties are shared evenly among men and women, and males do the majority of chores in just 15 per cent of British homes.

The survey of 2,848 people across the UK also revealed the chores we hate to do the most are the ironing followed by mopping the floor.

And if the average Briton had the money to employ staff around the house we would pay for a cleaner first, followed by a gardener to keep our bushes trimmed and lawn neat, and then an in-house ironing service.

Paul Ogle, MD Johnsons Cleaners, who commissioned the survey, said: “Let’s be honest, nobody likes to do chores around the house and our study is a stark reminder of just how much time we spend keeping our homes ship shape.

“It is incredible to discover that many people will spend a full decade doing all the mundane but necessary jobs about the house, including the ironing, laundry and general cleaning.
