Singing Cats.

So if you didn't know I'm kind of obsessed with musicals. I love the fact that in a musical not only can you have all the awesome elements of a film but also all the awesome elements of the stage with singing, dancing and all that spectacular creativity. But I'm not so much a fan of those boring musicals like the Mikado or Peter Pan but of the huge extravagant ones like Moulin Rouge, Chicago, Wicked, Across the Universe and, I'm just putting this out there, Mamma Mia.

So in light of this confession I want you to watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_5_lzags3I. Its called Nine and it comes out in November. I'm very excited for this as its being directed by Rob Marshall, the dude who brought Chicago to the cinema (and trust me, I saw the Sydney production and it was a let down, purely, I deduced, because of Marshall's amazing version), and it stars Judi Dench, the lovely Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson, Daniel Day Lewis, Marion Cotillard (academy award winner and serious babe from La Vie En Rose and upcoming Public Enemies) and Nicole Kidman (hopefully putting her back in the good books after Australia). This film centres around an Italian film director who is surrounded by all these beautiful women and must deal with them through the art of song and dance!

Check out those honey's (bar scary looking Fergie at the front. Hide your children. Seriously.) So I don't know if that makes you as excited as me but keeping in mind my last blog revolved around my weakness for badass babes and the fact that I love musicals I'm pretty sure this film was made for me. Definitely have tickets to this premiere.

So I've got two more films to talk to you about and coincidentally they both have the number 9 in their titles. The first is 9, produced by Tim Burton and directed by Shane Acker (basically a nobody) and Timur Bekmamsetov (Wanted) and starring Elijah Wood, John C.Reilly and one of the many women blue-tacked to my wall Jennifer Connelly. The animation looks awesome and it looks like the next Wall-E, meaning take some tissues and your youngest relative as not too look like a total idiot and prepare to be blown away. Here is the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnoJecu9e7c&feature=fvst .

Last but not least is District 9 Set in South Africa after an alien race has landed and been enslaved by the government. It looks like a cool take on the documentary style films of late ( see Cloverfield and Quarantine) and should be worth $13 to go and see (or $40 if you're going to Greater Union). Brought to us by Peter Jackson check out the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZnpzfcMheA. I'm pretty sure that spaceship would be my weapon of choice in any knife fight.

One last thing, it's holidays soon, and we all know what that means, no, not 2-for-1 Tuesday's at the local brothel, it means I have more free time! So comment below and tell me how much you want me to blog every single day and I will।

Yes, that was a ploy to get you to comment. But do it. It makes me happy.

Happier then the person who invented viagra.
