Wanted, although not as hotly touted as Rambo or Batman in 2008, seems to be one of the most anticipated movies this year by veteran cinema goers. For one, it stars the stunningly beautiful Angelina Jolie, as an assassin. You can expect this to be an action packed movie. Can Angelina not look beautiful for even one second so that I can feel better about myself?

Interestingly, Wanted also stars James McAvoy as the newbie assassin under the tutelage of Angelina Jolie. If you remember, James McAvoy is the guy who “loves” Penelope, pig nose and all! This guy seems to be everywhere this year!

Wanted is expected to be released in cinemas sometime in June, 2008. Stay tuned!

Whoa, what busy days I had recently that I did not have the time to blog. Not only that, I even had to forego my free movie tickets. How can???

On the other hand, a couple of days ago, I was introduced to a wonderful, funny and heart-warming movie called “Penelope” which will be released on 29th February, 2008. This is a special day with a special movie to mark it.

Penelope, which stars Christina Ricci as Penelope, is about a girl who was born into a rich family, but is cursed with a “pig’s nose”. All is not lost, however, because this curse could be broken when Penelope finds that one true love. Do you think that it would be easy? Sure, she has a sizeable dowry but money cannot stop the young men from being repulsed by her nose.

So what does Penelope do? Will she continue to stay locked at home hiding from the world because of her nose? If you watch this trailer, you would have a pretty good idea that Penelope found her true self and not her physical self.

But do you think that Penelope will manage to break the family curse and be the beautiful girl that she is? Watch Penelope on 29th February, 2008 to find out.

It is interesting to note that in this movie, Penelope found a best friend, her only friend, in fact, in Reese Witherspoon. And this movie is produced by Reese Witherspoon’s production house, Type A Films. That’s a little movie trivia for you!
