Death Note Hollywood Remake

Nooo!!

I was not happy to hear that Hollywood are remaking the Japanese (anime/manga/film) 'Desu Noto' or 'Death Note'. What started out as a very popular Japanese manga and escalated into a anime series and finally graduated to no less than 3 live action Japanese films can only be described as amazing.

I definitely jumped on the Death Note bandwagon late, but what a mindf**k. I have only seen two of the three films and frankly they do have some cheesy elements and are lacking quite a lot of the original content of the manga/anime, but kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.

However what has really upset me is that Zac Effron has been pegged to play the character Light. Noooo! Why!!!

Not sure what the hell I'm on about read about the Death Note phenomenon here.

Sorry couldn't find a trailer with English subtitles, but the first two films did thankfully show on film four with subtitles

New Moon Rising

I make no secret of the fact that the Twilight Saga books are some of the best books I have ever read. Seriously. They kept me on the edge of my seat throughout and after finishing the first book 'Twilight' nine hours after opening the box from Amazon, I would definitely recommend these.

I am a Sci- Fi/ Fantasy girl, live breathe eat the stuff and of course I love my manga/anime. I paid no attention to the countless trailers and randoms going on about it. Until a friend told me I would definately like the books, I had not even considered it, I mean there is no way I could like it more than 'Underworld'... Perish the thought! Well I had to eat my words as it was better than expected and I devoured New Moon the second book at an equally fast pace.

The movie adaptation of New Moon is premiered this week and I have my tickets booked for next Monday(Nov 23). I have no intention of seeing on Saturday afternoon with the screaming teenage girls. 

That's just not my bag baby!!!

Go Team ... Jacob ?

Sabriel

Still No word on the Sabriel movie from author Garth Nix. The adaptation of this book is hotly anticipated amongst fans. This film adaptation has me between two minds. As it is a children's book , how are they going to create the undead creatures that roam the earth? On the other hand I truly loved this trilogy so the adaptation of the first book would make this nearly 30 blogger very happy.

Logan's Run

It appears that sometime in 2012 there will be anew release of the 1970's cult classic Logan's Run. Hmmm...

In a way I am looking forward to this. I was a big fan of the 70's film and after success like 'The Island' and Equilibrium', I feel that a film adaptation in the 'tens' could be good. The new film is based more on the book which has the carosel age at 21.

As I am turning 30 next year i was slightly annoyed by this, as it means I would have past my sell by date 9 years ago. oh well doesnt mean I can still have my carosel next year.

The original movie from the 1970's staring Michael York has an IMBD Plot Summary here.

Happy Carosel Everyone!
