Man Crush Monday: Jason Momoa


Why We Love Him: I have to admit that I know pretty much nothing about this man but boy is he sexy! I know that he plays or played a pretty important character in Game of Thrones. I say played because I have never watched that show but I do know that people die all the time. I also know that he is set to play Aquaman in the new Superman/Batman movie. I like Batman but other than that, I'm not excited about anything DC. 


Upcoming Role(s):
  • Sugar Mountain
  • Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice
  • The Bad Batch
  • Justice League Part 1
  • Aquaman

Mission Impossible 5

Today, the new MI5 trailer was debuted. Along with the title: Rouge Nation. I love these movies so much! The first 3 were great but the 4th was better due to additional characters and better technology. I really love Tom Cruise and how he does all of his own stunts. He may be a little crazy in his personal life but he is a fantastic actor.


Check out the awesome trailer above! I can not wait to see this movie in theatres, it's going to be great!

Man Crush Monday: Richard Madden


Why We Love Him: I recently saw the new Cinderella. It was fantastic! Richard Madden played the prince and he had some really great character development. It wasn't like the cartoon version where he barely spoke. This role gave him an actual voice in the film. Other than this, I haven't seen Richard Madden in any of his other work. I guess he was pretty big in Game of Thrones. but I never got into that. If it ever goes on Netflix I will watch it! 

 

Upcoming Role(s):
  • Bastille Day 
  • Lady Chatterley's Lover

Weekly Etsy Find #16



I am breaking away from my Harry Potter roots today.  This weeks Etsy Find is based off of the severely underrated show Firefly.

This week I am featuring this t-shirt:
Traveling the 'Verse, Firefly Bleached T-shirt - Mens

I think I like it because the concept is so simple yet looks great.  You can just make out Serenity as its coasting across the universe.  The shirt is from a shop called DMoSan. Not only do they have this shirt but there are ones for Star Trek Fans as well.  You guys should check it out when you have a chance.  They look like pretty awesome shirts.

Walking Dead Spinoff

I am a huge fan of the Walking Dead.  It is a terrific show.  If you haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for?  The comic is also pretty great too.  I am still working on compendium #2.
This isn't the first time I have heard news about a Walking Dead spinoff.  It was confirmed a while ago.  Here is what we know so far:
- It will take place in LA
-Will debut at the end of the summer.
-Cliff Curtis who has previously been on tv shows Trauma, and Gang Related will play a character named Sean Cabrera
-So will Frank Dillane who is famous for playing young Tom Riddle in Harry Potter and Half Blood Prince. His characters name is Nick
-Alycia Debnam-Carey from The 100 is also tapped to star in the upcoming series as Ashley
-Kim Dickens who was previously in Sons of Anarchy and Friday Night Lights as well as in the film adaptation of Gone Girl will also star. Her characters name is supposedly Miranda.

Not much other info is available as to plot, timeline (before or during or even after the original), or other characters.
We do know however that AMC has high hopes for this sequel.  It was announced that the show has already been picked up for not one season but TWO seasons.  All before its debut later this year.  I hope its good to  AMC


Man Crush Monday: Dylan O'Brien


Why We Love Him: I chose Dylan O'Brien as this weeks MCM because he is rumored to be the new Spider-man. Of course, that hasn't been confirmed yet but he could be a good fit depending on the plot of the movie. Previously, he has been in one major franchise, The Maze Runner. These are fantastic books and the first movie was pretty great. I am about half way through the series and it keeps getting better.

Upcoming Role(s):
  • The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials

10 Movies I Am Excited to See in 2015



Furious 7-April 3
I have been waiting for this movie to come out for what feels like forever.   This is one of my favorite movie franchises despite the cheesy lines.  It is all about the cars...and Paul Walker and Vin Diesel.  I know I am probably going to cry half of the movie (RIP Paul Walker).  The action scenes look ridiculously amazing.

Avengers: Age of Ultron - May 1
I have been waiting for Avengers sequel to come out ever since Cecelia and I saw the original in theaters.  I do not know what else to say about this film other than it looks AMAZING.

Pitch Perfect 2 - May 15
I am realizing now as I am typing this that most of these films are sequels.  Pitch Perfect is one of my favorite new comedies.  It is great to watch with my best friends after a night drinking...or perhaps while drinking.  Either way this film looks just a funny as the original and it brings back the original actors.

Entourage - June 5
I was a fan of the show when it was on TV.  I was surprised to hear they were making a film and a little confused but I am okay with it.  I saw the previews not very long ago and I was convinced this would be a good film.  It seems like the same show that captivated fans on TV.

Jurassic World - June 12
I will admit, I never saw Jurassic Park until college.  I was not a huge fan of the third film so when I heard they were making another one without writer Michael Crichton I as a little concerned.  Now that I have seen previews and am officially a Chris Pratt fan I have to say I am very excited about this movie.

Inside Out - June 19
This is the only film on my list that is animated.  Being a psychology nerd I have always been interested in this film since first hearing about it a while ago.  Now that I have seen previews I am still highly interesting.  It looks adorable and well done like any Pixar film.

Ant-Man - July 17
Do I have any idea whom Ant-Man is?  I'll admit it, Nope!  Do I love Paul Rudd?  Totally!  This movie is from Marvel so it has to be good.  I just hope there is more comedy in it.  The preview did not make it look comical but it stars Paul Rudd so it has to be right?  Fingers crossed.

Mission Impossible 5 - July 31
The only MI film I have seen is Ghost Protocol.  Man, was it fantastic.  I am excited to go see this film in July.  Jeremy Renner and Tom Cruise, add in some action.  I am excited and cannot wait to see the trailer.

Vacation - October 9
National Lampoons Vacation is one of my all time favorite movies.  Now they are rebooting it with none other that Ed Helms as Rusty Griswold.  I am sold.  I love Ed Helms and the orginal so I am willing to give this film a shot.  Chevy Chase and Beverley D'Angelo will be reprising their roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold.  To make things even better Chris Hemsworth, Charlie Day, and Leslie Mann are set to star.   I am excited for a trailer for this film as well. 

Crimson Peak - October 16
Not going to lie, I am confused as to what exactly this movie is about.  All I know is that it stars Tom Hiddleston and is supposed to be suspenseful.  The trailer although confusing looked great.  I am anxious to see more.

Weekly Etsy Find #15

Guess who's back from an extra long hiatus?!  My apologies for that.  I am back, and better than ever with Weekly Etsy Finds.
This week I have once again a Harry Potter find.  I really wish I had my own home that I could decorate with some of the stuff I find.  This week is this really sweet sign.
Humorous Harry Potter Plaque/Sign.  Wizards Welcome (Muggles Tolerated).  Great gift item!

I would most definitely buy this and hang it up in my house, or bedroom.  You can get your very own "Wizards Welcome" sign at the shop Happy Distraction.  The signs look well made and they are reasonably priced.  You should check out the site ASAP.

Newest Spiderman News

Earlier Cecelia posted that Spider-man was officially coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.   Fanboys rejoiced and then began to wonder who would write and direct. Now that has been answered.
Recent reports say that Drew Goddard has been tapped to both write and direct the new Spider-man series.  Goddard is known for writing World War Z, Cloverfield and has also written episodes for the Netflix Original: Daredevil coming out this year.  He has directed...nothing other than the Cabin in the Woods.
Not being a huge Spidey fan to begin with the fact that he was coming to the MCU wasn't a big deal for me personally.  Now seeing who the director/writer is I still question this whole thing.  I will not write it off completely though.   I can still hope that Spider-man will be recast.  Fingers crossed on that.
What does everyone else think about this news.  Happy, excited, or like me questioning the choice of director?  Let me know in the comments.
