New poster and twitter chat for The Wolverine

On Thursday, May 2nd, fans got the special opportunity to ask Hugh Jackman questions about the highly anticipated film THE WOLVERINE. Watch the full Q&A below.

Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he will face a host of unexpected and deadly opponents in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.

THE WOLVERINE opens in cinemas across the UK on July 25, 2013.

Is it just me?

Miranda Hart has decided to share a wealth of awkward experiences and embarrassing stories and provide a Miran-ual for life in her brand new book Is It Just Me?

In order to allay her fears that we all come-a-cropper in life, she is asking you, the Great British public, to get in touch and share your pain because a problem shared is a … well something we can all laugh at.

Publishers Hodder And Stoughton, have launched an initiative entitled ‘No It’s Us Too’ which offers readers the chance to appear in an e-book, sharing their own cringe worthy tales.  Launching in July, the ‘No It’s Us Too’ mission will see Miranda choosing her favourite Twitter stories, the best of which will be illustrated and featured on a special ‘No It’s Us Too’ tumblr and then anthologised in e-book compilation in September.

All you need to do to get involved is tweet your embarrassing stories to @NoItsUsToo using hashtag #IsItJustMe and the best ones will be published by Hodder in the No Its Us Too! eBook compilation.

In her brilliant first book Is It Just Me? Miranda Hart confides hilariously uncomfortable truths about her life and offers inimitable advice for how to navigate those unexpected delicate moments. Witty, wise and ‘such fun’, this is a much-needed manual for the avoidance of embarrassment - it is, in fact, a Miran-ual, for all those out there who often wonder ‘Is It Just Me?’

Is It Just Me? is published on 11 October 11, 2012.

Admiral General Aladeen talks about the OSCARs

Earlier today an enigmatic email hit my inbox with the below image attached.

Then a short time ago I got another email pointing to a tweet from the General. That contained the below statement from the general.

The film tells the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed. It is inspired by the best selling novel "Zabibah and The King" by Saddam Hussein.

“NO ONE THERE”

“NEXT OF KIN”

“REAL LIFE”

“NO ONE CAME LOOKING”

Nobody noticed when Joyce Vincent died in her bedsit above a shopping mall in North London in 2003. Her body wasn’t discovered for three years, surrounded by Christmas presents she had been wrapping, and with the TV still on. Newspaper reports offered few details of her life - not even a photograph.

Who was she? And how could this happen to someone in our day and age - the so-called age of communication? For her film Dreams of a Life, filmmaker Carol Morley set out to find out. Joyce may have died in tragic isolation, but Morley was not going to let her be forgotten. She placed adverts in newspapers, on the Internet, and on the side of a London taxi. What she finds out is extraordinary.

A range of people that once knew Joyce help to piece together a portrait of the woman that became so forgotten. “She was very sweet, beautiful looking, a bit of a mystery. We weren’t too sure where she came from. It’s almost like she was a ghost, even then.” Dreams of a Life becomes as much about the people who remember her as it is about Joyce herself.

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS - Let battle commence

Twentieth Century Fox launch ‘X-Men: First Class #Hashtag Battle’ game on Facebook and Twitter

The two main protagonists in Twentieth Century Fox’s new film X-Men: First Class, directed by Mathew Vaughn, have started their epic battle on Facebook and Twitter before the film hits UK cinemas.

Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender) are looking to build support from fans around the world. To help them do this Twentieth Century Fox have launched a new game called ‘X-Men: First Class Hashtag Battle’, which is being played out across Facebook and Twitter.

You can either support Charles Xavier by tweeting ‘Killing will not bring you peace’ #CharlesXavier, or Erik Lehnsherr, by tweeting ‘Peace was never an option’ #ErikLehnsherr.

The battle unfolds within the dedicated Facebook application on the X-Men: First Class official Facebook page. The application collects data from Twitter and aggregates the number of tweets that contain the #hashtag for Charles Xavier (#CharlesXavier) and Erik Lehnsherr (#ErikLehnsherr ). The application then compares this data and displays who is winning.

X-MEN FIRST CLASS charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.

It’s time for Disney fans to let their hair down and experience the feel-good family film of the year as Tangled hits shops exclusively on Disney 3D Superplay, Blu-ray Double Play & DVD from May 23, 2011.

From deleted scenes to extended versions of the songs, such as ‘Mother Knows Best’, there’s so much more to enjoy beyond the film.

Kidnapped at birth and locked in an imposing tower by the wicked Mother Gothel (Donna Murphy), Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) is a beautiful, feisty teenager with 70 feet of magical, golden hair, who spends her days alone with only an over-protective chameleon called Pascal for company.

Her lonely existence is interrupted when the kingdom’s most wanted –and most charming - thief Flynn Rider (Zachary Levi) takes refuge in her tower while being pursued by the authorities and the One-Horse Police Force, Maximus. But it isn’t the safe haven he was hoping for as Rapunzel takes him hostage, with the aid of her trusty frying pan!

Realising that Flynn could be her ticket to the outside world, Rapunzel strikes a deal with the handsome bandit and the unlikely duo set off on an action packed adventure filled with danger, magic, excitement and hair, lots of hair!
