For Your Entertainment...

Did anyone else hear the amazing news that a Veronica Mars movie is officially being made?!

Did anyone else squeal and jump up and down like I did?

I'm going to assume so, because the main reason the film has been greenlight is because of its fans. Warner Bros is the studio making all our dreams come true, and this is how it happened...

"The go-ahead from the studio comes roughly 24 hours after star Kristen Bell and creator Rob Thomas launched a Kickstarter campaign to solicit donations for a big-screen version of the cult CW show. The two set a $2 million fundraising goal, but as of Thursday afternoon, the project has surpassed that number and attracted more than $2.7 million in pledges from 45,665 donors."

Seriously?! How freakin cool is that!
Veronica Mars had such a cult following, and it really was a great show, so when it was cancelled, fans (including myself) were left with a crappy unfinished "ending" that just wasn't up to the shows standards. I am super excited to see how they bring Veronica Mars back to life! Judging by the video they sent out to attract pledges it's gonna be good...



Booh Yah Hollywood. Next up... Gilmore Girls the Movie (amiright?!)

Oh Those Gowns & Glory

So I was working yesterday and unfortunately didn't get to watch the 2013 Oscars *sadface* and being the movie buff that I am, I am disappointed in myself that out of all the films involved in this years show, I have only seen Silver Linings Playbook (which I have been meaning to review) and Les Miserables. 

It may have something to do with the fact that most of the nominated films only just came out in New Zealand. We really need to step up our game.

HOWEVER the fact that I missed the show, obviously didn't stop me from stalking all of the glorious Red Carpet fashion and all the winners (and losers) of the night!

Without further ado... My favourite looks from The 85th Annual Academy Awards!



But my Best Dressed award goes to the lovely...
She seriously looked like a princess and if we are being serious, I want to be her best friend. Am I the only one? She is my favourite person in Hollywood right now, so down to earth and hilarious. And she handled that fall like an absolute pro. Congrats to her! 
22 and an Oscar winner? Obviously the rest of us are failing at life.

And of course, we love to point out the not-so-hot choices of the night. These dresses were a bit of a let down. Some not too bad but nothing special, some downright horrendous *erm Brandi Glanville* anyone else wondering why she was even there? If she can go, surely I can go?

Oh The Oscars... So much excitement. Maybe one day I will be there...
Ha, who are we kidding, only in my dreams...

Oh Those Golden Globes

Awards season is my favourite. Being a major film buff I love to see which films are winning big, and which are falling short. Possibly my favourite part however, is the Red Carpet. Holy fashionistas dream... or nightmare in some cases.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to watch the Globes this year, they only play on certain channels in NZ and I don't have them. BUT I am always keen and willing to throw in my two cents fashion wise.

Here are my Hits and Misses of the 2013 Golden Globes!


I love the colour of Jennifer Lawrence's dress! The belt and the shape of the skirt show off her curves, and her hair and make-up go perfectly! My only issue is with the pointy Madonna style boobs. Amanda Seyfried's dress is so pretty I love it! I love the lace cut-outs and her hair and make-up is understated, allowing the delicate dress to shine. Kate Hudson wins the battle of the cut-outs! The black and gold combo works, and the high collar is awesome!


Jessica Alba has the perfect mermaid dress! I love the colour and her simple but fancy jewellery. Her hairstyle is very classic Hollywood! Some people weren't fans of Taylor Swifts dress, but I think it works for her. The colour is great, and so is the shape, plus it has an awesome back. Only the creases mark it down a little. How adorable is Kristen Bell and her baby bump! She dressed it perfectly in a pretty lilac with fancy beading with a high collar. LOVE it!


My last "hit" was Zooey Deschannel. She went 50's glam and I love it! The colour, the dress, the pearls... She is adorable! Nicole Richie heads up the first of my "misses" the dress would be ok if the collar was slightly different. But I cannot forgive the make-up! Too much blue eyeshadow, to matchy, its just bad! Ew. Thats all I can really say about Halle Berry's choice. I just, I don't know. It looks like someone threw up a bunch of newspapers on her after drinking too much wine. I really don't get why...


Olivia Munn almost got it, but not quite. The dress is just a little too shapeless and dull. Sienna Millar looks like she got attacked by silly string, this dress is hideous! I'm already not a fan of two piece dresses, but this one looks like it was made by a four year old. I would have liked Jessica Chastain's dress if it weren't for the complete lack of fitting. It makes her boobs sag down to her waist which is ridiculous! I do love the colour with her hair though.


I really love the colour of Marion Cotillard's dress, but its just too lop-sided. Maybe if the longer hem was on the other side, where the belt had no material draped over it, but I dunno. Plus ugly, ugly shoes! Lena Dunham picked a dress that is just way to old for her. Props to her for trying, but it doesn't fit her properly, the material is too thick, and it makes her head look tiny. I actually really like Sarah Hyland's dress, on anyone else it would have looked classy and sophisticated, but holy boobs. Way way way too old for her! And with the big hair and thick make-up, she just looks trampy. Sorry darling!

Now I am no fashionista, and I can only dream of wearing dresses like these. But I really don't understand what goes through these girls (or their stylists) minds when they choose to dress like this. Can they not see the dresses are hideous/ill-fitting/inappropriate? *sigh*


Until the next awards show ladies...

A Little Christmas Cheer

I have been finding myself in a somewhat lackluster Christmas mood. Which for me is a bit of a concern. I LOVE Christmas! It is my all-time favourite holiday, and just about my favourite time of the year. However this year isn't quite as exciting for some reason. Maybe it really is true that as you get older, Christmas gets less fun.

I hope not.

So to cheer myself up and get in the holiday mood I plan to watch as many Christmas movies as I can before the big day itself. I will pull out my old favourites and try watch some new ones. There are definitely plenty of them!!

Here are a few that I love to watch every holiday season...

The Nightmare Before Christmas
One of my all-time favourites!!

Home Alone
Oh Home Alone! Good times! And I actually enjoy all the films, even after the kid changed.

The Santa Clause
This one can be super annoying but I feel like its not Christmas unless I have watched them!

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Jim Carrey's best role and such a cute film! I love watching this one and singing along!

Love Actually
Gotta watch this one each year, its tradition!

So what are your favourite holiday films? Are they all Christmas movies, or a slightly different tradition?

An Unexpected Journey...

New Zealanders are a proud bunch. We are such a small country that when something big happens, the whole country gets behind it. We get excited when we are mentioned on American TV, when we beat another team in sport, or when one of us wins something huge!

So of course we happily claim the Lord of The Rings movies as our own cinematic babies. They were filmed here, the director is one of us. Everybody associates LOTRs with New Zealand, and we love it!

So when The Hobbit rolled around... we were all too happy to pull out all the stops! The first hobbit film had its world premiere in Wellington the other day and boy was it a doozy! I unfortunately wasn't able to attend, but it looked like one hell of a night. Check out all the Hobbit-y goodness!
These are the filming locations around New Zealand, for the last 3 years, I lived 30 minutes away from Hobbiton and The Shire! How cool is that?!

The genius director, Sir Peter Jackson, strolling out of the hobbit-hole!

Boy do I wish I was there holding my own sign!

600 metres of red carpet, and thousands of fans!


Have you seen The Lord of the Rings? Do you associate it with New Zealand?
I cannot wait to see The Hobbit on December 13th!!
It's going to be quite a journey!


*  I was not compensated for this post, I just find The Hobbit exciting!  *
