The Adventures of Tintin by Hergè

The Adventures of Tintin by Hergè are graphic novels that were first published in the 1930's and are still as famous now as they were then. The stories follow the adventures of the young reporter,Tintin, and his faithful companion, Snowy. There are 23 stories altogether.

Julie Andrews at age 12.... singing :)

I was found this on youtube and I LOVED these 2 videos. One of Julie Andrews singing at age 12. Then it is a tribute to her. I was blown away!

Sherlock Holmes (the movie 2011)

After finally catching serial killer and occult "sorcerer" Lord Blackwood, legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson can close yet another successful case. But when Blackwood mysteriously returns from the grave and resumes his killing spree, Holmes must take up the hunt once again. Contending with his partner's new fiancée and the dimwitted head of Scotland Yard, the dauntless detective must unravel the clues that will lead him into a twisted web of murder, deceit, and black magic - and the deadly embrace of temptress Irene Adler.

I have seen this movie I think about 6 times. I love the storyline and the cast is brilliant. Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes, and Jude Law as Watson are the  perfect crime-solving partners. Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler is wonderful, and Mark Strong.... one of my absolute favorite actors is a-m-a-z-i-n-g !!!!
There is 1 rather inappropriate scene(in the rating:a suggestive scene), but there is no language, and there is violence(fist fighting, gun fire, explosions,etc..). But there are some disturbing scenes, so be warned. I can't get over how good it was, and I cannot wait for number 2 , Game of Shadows.
Enjoy!!

Les Miserables

I just recently found out that they are making the Les Mis. concert into a film!!! I'm so excited. But the cast..... HUGH JACKMAN IS JEAN VALJEAN, AND RUSSELL CROWE IS JAVIER!!!!
Also Anne Hathaway is Fantine, plus Helena Bonham Carter is going to be Madame Thenardier. It is rumored Geoffrey Rush will join the cast. It is SO sweet. I cannot wait till Christmas 2012!
