HOLLYWOOD SPY SPOTLIGHT ON INSPIRATIONAL SONGS BEYONCE'S "I WAS HERE", THE SCRIPT'S "HALL OF FAME", NE YO'S "LET ME LOVE YOU UNTIL YOU LEARN TO LOVE YOURSELF"

Hey, kids, so many deeply inspirational and heartwarming songs have been released recently, that I felt the need to spotlight them since they truly shine in today's world of flimsy pop tarts who rule the stage with their backwardly superficial songs.

BEYONCE'S I WAS HERE
Probably one of the biggest music events this August was Beyonce performing her deeply touching song I WAS HERE in front of the live audience in the General Assembly Hall of United Nations in New York. Surrounded with stunning computer graphics with meaningful messages and clad in pure white dress, Beyonce celebrated the World Humanitarian Day with her powerful voice and her moving lyrics. Along with the United Nations and humanitarian aid organizations the aim was to launch a global
campaign today to shine a spotlight on humanitarian work and encourage people around the world to get involved by doing something good for others.
 I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time
Know there was something that meant something that I left behind
When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets
Leave something to remember, so they won't forget!
I want to say I lived each day, until I died
And know that I meant something in, somebody's life
The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave
That I made a difference, and this world will see!



SCRIPT'S HALL OF FAME
Another super inspirational song is the latest single from my favourite Irish band The Script. Popular trio, lead by ever so amazing Danny O'Donaghue, has deeply emotional songs as their trade mark with some of pop's best love classics such as BREAKEVEN, THE MAN WHO COULDN'T BE MOVED or FOR THE FIRST TIME. But their new song, isn't a love one, but a song about the inner strength that can help us reach all goals we want to, because, as the title of the song says, we can all reach HALL OF FAME. Don't forget to check out the deeply moving video.
Yeah, You could be the greatest , You can be the best
You can be the King Kong banging on your chest
 You could beat the world, you could beat the war
 You could talk to God, go banging on his door
You could go the distance you could run the mile
You could walk straight through hell with a smile
 You could be the hero you could get the gold
Breaking all the records that thought never could be broke
Standing in the hall of fame
And the world's gonna know your name
Cause you burn with the brightest flame!

NE YO'S LET ME LOVE YOU
One of the young artists that surely never disappoints and keeps giving us marvellous songs and enchanting beats is Ne Yo. And it seems that after r'n'b classics such as SO SICK, CLOSER, ONE IN A MILLION, he did it again with his latest hit single LET ME LOVE YOU UNTIL YOU LEARN TO LOVE YOURSELF. Check out the heartwarming, deeply inspiring lyrics of the song: Much as you blame yourself,
you can't be blamed for the way that you feel
Had no example of a love that was even remotely real
How can you understand something that you never had
Ooh baby if you let me, I can help you out with all of that
Girl let me love you And I will love you
Until you learn to love yourself
A heart of numbness, gets brought to life I'll take you there!
 So which songs are you listening to these days, and which are you favourite inspirational ones?

DEEPLY MOVING TRAILER FOR DAKOTA FANNING'S & JEREMY IRVINE'S "NOW IS GOOD"! BEN FOSTER & KIRSTEN DUNST IN "RED LIGHT WINTER"! MICHAEL KEATON REPLACES HUGH LAURIE IN "ROBOCOP" REMAKE

Now, here's a rather strange plot: "Variety" reports today that Ben Foster and Kirsten Dunst have joined the cast of RED LIGHT WINTER. The title might give you some sign on the plot, since the story revolves around two New York City friends vacationing in Amsterdam. Their friendship is tested when they both fall for the same prostitute played by Kirsten Dunst. Ben Foster will play one of the guys, a young writer. It is interesting that the roles were previously meant for Billy Crudup and Mark Ruffalo. At the same time, "Deadline" reports that Michael Keaton has replaced Hugh Laurie in the remake of 
ROBOCOP and will play the director of the corporation that creates Joel Kinnaman's cyborg cop. Gary Oldman, Abbie Cornish and Samuel L. Jackson are also in the cast.

TOUCHING "NOW IS GOOD"
To finish the working week with an inspiring clip, here's the trailer for a film I mentioned before but it is out in cinemas around the world this September and October. NOW IS GOOD is a deeply moving story
about a couple whose love has a time limit even before it really started. Young Dakota Fanning plays Tessa who is seventeen and is passionate about life. Diagnosed with a terminal illness, she determines to use every moment, compiling a catalogue of what normal teenager would experience, including losing her virginity and taking drugs. With the help of her friend, she sets the list in motion. And while her parents and brother each deals with their fear of losing her in their own way, Tessa explores a whole new world, determined to live every day as intensely as possible. Falling in love with Adam
(Jeremy Irvine), her new neighbour, wasn't on the list, but it proves to be the most exhilarating experience of them all. The film is actually an adaptation of the book by Jenny Downham. Live every moment, love every minute is the message of the movie!

CHRISTINA HENDRICKS IN RYAN GOSLING'S "HOW TO CATCH A MONSTER"! "GAME OF THRONES" NEIL MARSHALL HELMING "BLACK SAILS" EPIC SHOW! FOX' NEW SHOWS "PARA TIME" & "ATHENA"! "ONCE UPON A TIME" SEASON 2 PICS!

Well, this is surely an unusual project: actor Ryan Gosling has decided to start directing films and his first project will be fantasy story HOW TO CATCH A MONSTER. He has already chosen MAD MEN's Christina Hendricks for the lead role in the movie which weaves elements of fantasy noir, and suspense into a modern day fairytale.
 Set against the surreal dreamscape of a vanishing city, Billy, a single mother of two, is swept into a macabre and dark fantasy underworld while her teenage son discovers a secret road leading to an underwater town. Both Billy and her son must dive deep into the mystery, if their family is to survive.
TELEVISION HEADLINES
Our favourite channel Starz has announced that they've got Neil Marshall to helm their new epic series BLACK SAILS which is to replace SPARTACUS WAR OF THE DAMNED in January 2014. Marshall, who directed one of the episodes in GAME OF THRONES ("Blackwater") and Michael Fassbender's CENTURION epic, will now helm the pirate show which is a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's novel "Treasure Island" and will focus on the pirate Captain Flint and his crew. The preproduction of the show is currently under way down in South Africa.
PARATIME & ATHENA
In other TV news - according to "Digital Spy" Fox has bought pilot for a new sf show. Titled PARA TIME it will follow a group that police a number of parallel worlds. It comes from a DR. WHO and LIFE ON MARS writer. Fox also bought TV rights for graphic novel HEADACHE from Lisa Joy, which will be turned into a TV show called ATHENA telling the story of a young woman who discovers that she is the Greek
goddess of wisdom. The comic's synopsis describes it as a gripping coming-of-age tale of an 18-year-old girl who happens to be Athena. Her evil stepmother? Hera, who's actually evil and out to kill her. The bad boy she falls in love with? Hades, king of the underworld. The philandering father whose approval she always seeks and fails to attain? Zeus, the ultimate deadbeat dad. And now she must take on all of the gods in order to stop them from destroying mankind. 
 ONCE UPON A TIME 2
And you can see that I've illustrated the post with new posters announcing the second season of ABC's super popular fantasy show ONCE UPON A TIME. The show, which will air its second run later this September, will have a bunch of new characters including warrior
princess Mulan, played by Jamie Chung. "TV Guide" has revealed that she'll be armoured up and battle-ready going on a journey with Prince Phillip (Julian Morris) to find his princess, Aurora (Sarah Bolger), joined along the way by Captain Hook (Colin O'Donoghue)!

DEEPLY STIRRING TRAILER FOR "UNCONDITIONAL" WITH LYNN COLLINS & MICHAEL EALY! "STAR TREK" PRODUCERS TAKE ON "DRAGONOLOGY"! JOSH HOLLOWAY JOINS ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER & SAM WORTHINGTON IN "BREACHER"

Lots of beautiful stories today, my people, starting with STAR TREK producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci taking over the
movie adaptation of fantasy series DRAGONOLOGY. The faux non-fiction books by Dugald A. Steer are based on the notion that dragons actually exist, which was revealed by Victorian era dragonologist Ernest Drake. The story centres on a team of dragonologists who try to stop a nefarious plot where the remaining dragons will be used to kill every human on the planet. The saga has 12 books so far. According to "MovieWeb" Orci and Kurtzman are also overseeing the remakes of VAN HELSING and THE MUMMY over at Universal.

HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
As "The Hollywood Reporter" writes today, Jon Turteltaub will direct BEACHED, a story about a four-year-old boy who falls overboard during a family trip. The overweight lad is then raised by whales before going on to become an Olympic swimmer. Meanwhile, already hot cast for Arnold Schwarzenegger's action film BREACHER has got even hotter: "Variety" reports that Josh Holloway has joined Sam Worthington, Joe Manganiello and Malin Akerman in the story about a team of corrupt DEA agents who steal millions from a drug cartel, under the guise of a routine raid. While the team thinks they have gotten away with the perfect crime, they start getting knocked off, one by one. Josh Holloway will play Neck, the medic of this shady unit.

  LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL
I have something really really special for you today: a deeply touching and highly enchanting trailer for new drama UNCONDITIONAL which will open up in cinemas September 21st. From the amazing and
haunting music, touching story and utterly refined performance from one of the most talented and impressive actresses of the young generation Lynn Collins (JOHN CARTER, X-MEN WOLVERINE), the trailer promises a really special experience. Lynn Collins stars as Samantha Crawford who is living a storybook life: she's happily married, she lives on a ranch where she keeps her beloved horse, and the stories she's told and illustrated since childhood have become published books. When her husband Billy (Diego Klattenhoff) is killed in a senseless act of violence, Sam loses her faith and her will to live. But a death-defying encounter with two children leads to a reunion with Joe (Michael Ealy), her oldest friend.
As Sam watches Joe care for and love the kids in his under-resourced neighborhood, she begins to realize that no matter life's circumstances, you can always begin your journey back toward unconditional love.

Deeply delightful Lynn Collins had first amazed us back in 2004 when she played chaste 
Portia in THE MERCHANT OF VENICE next to a stellar cast which included Jeremy Irons, Joseph Fiennes and Al Pacino (in one of his worst performances ever). But her big break was the role of Silverfox in X MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE which lead her to her groundbreaking role of Princess Dejah Thoris this year in mindblowing sf epic JOHN CARTER.

SPOTLIGHT ON SEPTEMBER 2012 SF MOVIES: "JUDGE DREDD" WITH KARL URBAN & LENA HEADEY AND DYSTOPIAN SF "BRANDED"

Well, my people, we've recently established that this has been a rather sf year when it comes to films, and that trend will continue in September too. Here are some of the sf movies coming out next month.

JUDGE DREDD
Definitely the sf film of the month is the long awaited remake of science fiction classic JUDGE DREDD. The exciting action movie, coming to cinemas September 21st,  will take us to futuristic America which became irradiated waste land. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One- a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called "Judges" who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd (Karl Urban) is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge -- a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of
"Slo-Mo"  experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed. During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture- a 200 story
vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) and her ruthless clan. When they capture one of the clan's inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the compound's control center and wages a dirty, vicious war against the Judges that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire. With the body count climbing and no way out, Dredd and Anderson must confront the odds and engage in the relentless battle for their survival.
BRANDED
Now, here is a rather strange but extremely interesting trailer: the clip for BRANDED, a sf flick which hits cinemas this September 7th starring Ed Stoppard, Leelee Sobieski, Jeffrey Tambor and Max 
von Sydow. After Misha skyrockets to the top of the advertising business, a tragic mishap on the set of one of his productions torpedoes his career and he retreats into self-imposed exile. Ten years later, Misha returns to a radically changed world and finds himself plagued by visions of bizarre and terrifying creatures with the ability to influence people’s thoughts, desires and actions. Creatures only he can see. He soon realizes the creatures are part of a clandestine campaign unleashed by a rival advertising agency to make “fat the new fabulous” and create a new era of uncontrolled consumer appetite. In order to save mankind, Misha uses his own considerable marketing skills to launch an ingenious plan to try to eradicate the plague. But the corporate legions will not go down without a fight.

GORGEOUS TRAILER FOR CHOW YUN FAT'S EPIC "THE ASSASSINS"! ADRIEN BRODY, GERARD BUTLER, MICKEY ROURKE IN "MOTOR CITY"! JASON MOMOA JOINS "WOLVES", JAIME PRESSLY & ROBIN THICKE IN "ABBY IN THE SUMMER"

According to "Variety" Oscar winning actor Adrien Brody is in negotiations to replace Gary Oldman in MOTOR CITY. Adrien will play a villain in the story in which Gerard Butler plays an ex-con who starts tracking down the men who framed him and sent him to prison, almost immediately after his release. The cast also includes Amber Heard (mostly famous for her love for her own sex and for her fling with Johnny Depp) and Mickey Rourke. Wonder if Adrien will stay in the project, since the producers already had Jake Gyllenhaal and Dominic Cooper leave the cast.

HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
 In other casting news, "Movie Web" reports that our favourite Conan
and Khal Drogo from GAME OF THRONES, ex BAYWATCH star Jason Momoa has taken a role in WOLVES. I've written about this project before announcing Lucas Till in the lead role. Momoa will play a villain in this story which revolves around a young man who transforms into a werewolf after being falsely accused of committing his parents' murder. He comes across a small town called Lupine Ridge, which holds the secrets of his real identity. According to "Digital Spy" two stunning people Jaime Pressly and rnb star Robin Thicke will star in ABBY IN THE SUMMER, in which "My Name Is Earl" star plays an adrenaline junkie who is forced to leave her job as a chef when she accidentally cuts herself. She subsequently
has to deal with distracted husband (Tygh Runyan) and her old flame (Robin Thicke). They will also be joined by Frances Conroy as her mother, and Joey Lauren Adams as her best friend. 

THE ASSASSINS EPIC
 When it comes to video treats, today I have for you a trailer for Chinese period epic THE ASSASSINS. According to "Twitch" the film is directed by first-timer Zhao Linshan and produced by the same
 team behind Zhang Yimou's Oscar candidate THE FLOWERS OF WAR, and its story revolves around Han Dynasty Prime Minister Cao Cao (famous Chow Yun Fat), who in his twilight years only grew in power and threatened to take over the Han Empire. The story also deals with a pair of young lovers, played by Liu Yi Fei and Japanese actor Tamaki Hiroshi, who are snatched from a prison camp and trained to become deadly assassins. The films premiers this September in China and it has been sold for American distribution as well. Check out the gorgeous trailer:

HOLLYWOOD SPY SPOTLIGHT ON ANIMATED EPIC "JUSTIN AND THE KNIGHTS OF VALOUR" WITH ANTONIO BANDERAS, MARK STRONG, SAOIRSE RONAN, RUPERT EVERETT

One of the animated films we will be watching in 2013 is JUSTIN AND THE KNIGHTS OF VALOUR. Penned by the writer of THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE, this Spanish animated film to be shot in English language will be set in a magical world that children still dream of, bringing a story about the determination of a kid to reach his dream. It is a tale about friendship, honour and courage. A heart-warming story filled with adventure, action and fun. As you will notice  the voice cast is absolutely amazing!

KNIGHTLY STORY
Justin (Freddie Highmore) lives in a kingdom where bureaucrats rule and knights have been ousted. He wants to be a knight but his father, Reginald (Alfred Molina), the chief counsel to the Queen (Olivia Williams), wants his son to follow in his footsteps and become
a lawyer. In need of guidance, Justin visits his Grandmother (Julie Walters), who tells him the story of his Grandfather, Sir Roland. Sir Roland was the noblest knight in the kingdom and protector of the King until they were both betrayed and killed by the evil Sir Heraclio (Mark Strong). Against his father’s wishes, Justin runs away in search of his dream and begins his quest to become a Knight.
At The Broken Eagle Inn he meets Talia (Saoirse Ronan), a beautiful, feisty and independently-minded girl, who shares his aspirations and whom he eventually falls for. He also meets a quirky wizard called Melquiades (David Walliams) who tells him where he can find the magical Abbey where the Knights of Valour once trained.
At the Abbey, he is mentored by three ancient monks. Blucher (James Cosmo) instructs him in knightly ways; Legantir (Charles Dance) teaches him there is still magic in the world; and Braulio (Barry Humphries) who creates magical contraptions, and is responsible for Gustav, the gas-powered wannabe-dragon crocodile (LOL).
 Justin, though an unlikely candidate for knighthood, is determined to pursue his ideals. Called upon to prove himself when Heraclio and his minions, lead by Sota (Rupert Everett), return and threaten the kingdom, Justin saves the day.

NEW MOVIE ADAPTATIONS: SF "THE MAZE RUNNER", ADVENTUROUS "UNCHARTED DRAKE'S FORTUNE", EPIC "GOD OF WAR" & TOUCHING "HEAVEN IS FOR REAL"

Ok, people, we shall have a movie adaptations day today at HOLLYWOOD SPY, starting with a project I already announced two years ago, but now it
has the potential helmer. According to "Deadline" Fox has hired Wes Ball to direct the movie adaptation of dystopian bestseller THE MAZE RUNNER written by James Dashner. The book is set in a post-apocalyptic world and follows a boy named Thomas, whose memory has been wiped as part of a mysterious test. After his brain is wiped, he is thrown into a giant maze with a group of boys. Every day, some of the kids who are Runners venture into the labyrinth trying to map the ever-changing pattern of walls in an attempt to find an exit. He soon learns that he was destined to become a maze runner and embarks on a voyage to freedom.

HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
Another project that I announced three years ago, but it has never seemed to get some momentum is finally moving on: according to "MovieWeb" Sony is trying to find a new director for the movie
  adaptation of video game UNCHARTED: DRAKE'S FORTUNE after the helm was left empty by Neil Burger. The studio has now hired NATIONAL TREASURE scribes Cormac Wibberley and Marianne Wibberley to write a new script for the story which follows the journey of Nathan Drake, supposed descendant of the explorer Sir Francis Drake, as he seeks the lost treasure of El Dorado, with the help of his friend Victor "Sully" Sullivan and journalist Elena Fisher. A number of popular names was mentioned before for the
lead role from Nathan Fillion and Karl Urban to Russel Crowe and Mark Wahlberg, and even Robert De Niro was supposed to take a role in it previously.
GOD OF WAR
The above mentioned Sony also has the movie adaptation of GOD OF WAR epic video game in plan. The SAW writers will adapt the story which follows the battles of the Spartan warrior Kratos, who squares off against mythological beasts including Medusa, Cyclops and the Hydra in his quest to find Pandora's Box and destroy Ares, the god of war. Sony will also adapt bestselling book HEAVEN IS FOR REAL by Todd Burpo. Randall Wallace 
(BRAVEHEART, THE MAN IN THE IRONMASK) is set to direct this story about the author's son Colton Burpo, who claims to have visited heaven after a near death experience during an appendectomy. No one believes the boy until he starts telling stories identifying people who have died.

SPECTACULAR TRAILER FOR CHINESE STEAM PUNK FANTASY EPIC "TAI CHI"! BBC2 ADAPTING HILARY MANTEL'S "WOLF HALL" INTO TV SERIES ON HENRY VIII ERA

We've just had the amazing epic series THE HOLLOW CROWN over at BBC with Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Ben Whishaw and Patrick Stewart, but British television is ready to bring us more medieval history already. According to "Digital Spy" BBC 2 is preparing a six-part television adaptation of best seller WOLF HALL. Written by Hilary Mantel, the book has been a huge hit and won the famous Man Booker Prize. Based in the 1520s, England is facing civil war if Henry VIII dies without a male heir. Thomas Cromwell (he was played by James Frain in THE TUDORS) is stepping into the gap left by the King and is prepared to break the rules, wanting to reshape England to his own and Henry VIII's desires. Mmmm, love it, hope they will cast some of the brilliant British actors for the series!

TAI CHI O TRAILER
Earlier this year, I've introduced you to amazing Chinese steam punk epic TAI CHI and now I have the English trailer for you, for the film which will hit cinemas this Fall and will also appear at Toronto Film Festival.  TAI CHI O  mixes fantasy,
adventure, and steam punk which looks rather interesting in an Asian movie. The film by Stephen Fung, which will be released in USA in early 2013, follows an uncommonly gifted Yang Luchan who has a fleshy abnormality that holds tremendous power growing on his forehead. However, being teased as the town fool, Yang travels to the distant Chen Village to learn TAI CHI. At this legendary village everyone practices TAI CHI and uses TAI CHI in every aspect of their lives. Nevertheless, it is forbidden for a villager to disclose TAI CHI to an outsider, which Yang learns the hard way. Upon arriving at  village,
 locals discourage Yang by challenging him with fights. From the strong men to old ladies to children, everyone defeats Yang with their TAI CHI moves. After facing the toughest battle and being defeated by Master Chen’s beautiful daughter Yuniang, Yang is determined to master the art of TAI CHI and goes in search of Master Chen. Little does Yang know,
the poor strange man who he befriended is in fact Master Chen who had saved him from the duel with Yuniang. Master Chen realizes Yang’s genius and disguises himself to secretly guide Yang to his self realization of TAI CHI. One day, a frightening steam-powered machine comes to
the village, lead by Fang Zijing, a childhood friend of Yuniang. He has bribed government officials to permit him to build a railway that will run straight through the village. Yang decides to join forces with Yuniang to defeat Fang Zijing and destroy the machine. This brave act may just win him the hearts of the villagers… PS don't forget to click on the pics, to see all the wonderful detail on them.

All of you know I love cutesy stuff but there is a difference between cute and quirky I think, and I am beginning to see quirky's appeal!! The long neck of the kitty is so funny!!

Pretty and functional!! :D




If hello kitty isn't your cup of tea the mimobot flash drives also come in many other designs... ISN'T C-3PO CUTE?? Mike would like it so much!!

 A microwave egg boiler?? What is this? Everyone knows eggs cannot be cooked in microwaves as they will explode!!

This is how I will look like if my face is an egg


BOILEY MAKES IT HAPPEN!!

Amazing or what? Boiley comes with a needle. You have to poke the needle into the egg to let extra pressure escape, and put the egg into Boiley, then pop egg and Boiley into the microwave!!

No need for boiling anymore, no need to wash pots!! Experiment with the timings and you can get the PERFECT soft boiled or hard boiled egg EACH AND EVERYTIME, easy peasy!



And now for the only mysterious item left in the box.....





It is a NOOKA X HELLO KITTY WATCH!! 

So cute even Igloo is trying to mark his scent on the box to make it his. Sorry, not gonna give it to you!

Perhaps you have seen Nooka's watches around with their extremely interesting time-telling interface. I imagine that you can have plenty of interesting conversations with people when they ask you for the time and you go like (show watch) "What time do you think it is?"



The answer is 3.53pm... Did you guess it right?


Kooka collaborated with Sanrio to come up with a limited edition piece to launch on Hello Kitty's birthday on 1st Nov 2011.

I love how the design is so simple and pretty with such a pure white and that striking red accent!! If you love hello kitty but you don't want to appear too childish or girly, this watch is just perfect. :D


It can easily match anything you wear too!



I'm loving it on me! :D
