'HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2'
CATE BLANCHETT IS GUARDIAN OF 
THE DRAGONS
THE DRAGONS
Definitely one of the most anticipated 2014 movies is HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON II the sequel to the adorable animated adventure which will fly into theatres next June. Today you can check out the first picture of Cate Blanchett's character Valka, a mysterious guardian of the dragons. Directed by Dean DeBlois ('How to Train Your Dragon', 'Lilo & Stitch'), this sequel follows Toothless and Hiccup (Jay Baruchel ) five years down the road, as Hiccup heads towards adulthood while trying to hold onto those last few precious 
moments of his childhood. He is faced with a lot of new
responsibilities, and is being groomed to eventually take over for his
dad (Gerard 
Butler). But before that can happen, he sets off on one last adventure to the Arctic, where he stumbles upon Valka. A tough warrior, this woman is seen as a vigilante who springs dragons from traps, hiding them from 
a vicious dragon hunter by the name of Drago Bludvist (Djimon Hounsou) and his No. 2, Eret (Kit Harington).

DID YOU KNOW?
Cate Blanchett was offered the role at the Oscars' ceremony with Dean DeBlois approaching her right there at the red carpet. Her character can communicate with dragons in non verbal ways and is distrusting of humans. Unlike Hiccup's dragon Toothless who looks like a panther, Valka's dragon Cloudjumper looks more like an owl and has a second set of wings hidden under the main ones!

GRAND PIANO TRAILER
ELIJAH WOOD PLAYS FOR HIS LIFE
I've already shown you the Spanish version, but here is the first English trailer for GRAND PIANO thriller! Elijah Wood stars as Tom Selznick, the most talented pianist of
his generation, who has stopped performing in public because of his
stage fright. Years after a catastrophic performance, he reappears in
public for a long awaited concert in Chicago. In a packed theatre, in
front of an expectant audience, Tom finds a message written on the
score: "Play one wrong note and you die." In the sights of an anonymous
sniper (John Cusack), Tom must get through the most difficult performance of his life and look for help without being detected.

YAY for How to Train Your Dragon 2! We loved the first one!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you again for the amazing guest post today Dezzy!!!
It was the best film that year!
DeleteI shall pop over to answer the comments shortly! :)
Wow. Elijah Wood? At a glance I almost would have sworn that was Steve Buscemi.
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteLoved the first movie. Excited for number two.
ReplyDeleteLOVED your bake over at Mel's today. I already commented over there but wanted to stop in and tell you, great stuff. Looks sooooooo yummy.
DRAGONS always make a great movie :)
DeleteGlad you liked DEZZY'S CHRISTMAS CAKE MAGIC over at Mel's today :) You two should do a similar thing as well :)
Did you get a chance to view the videos from my post? That to me, is the best baking show in the history of ever. They do alllllll kinds of fantastic bakes from breads, to upside down bakes, cookies, biscuits and crackers.
DeleteJust a lovely show.
I'm soon off to go couponing but I'd much rather stay home and bake. Tonight, I think, pizza and a movie. It's date night here at The Manor. Maybe some more pizzelles as well, since we're plum out.
Cheers Dezzy. Have a groovy day.
I do love me baking and cooking shows and will be sad when the one I'm watching now ends next week.
DeleteOOh haven't eaten pizza in years.... although I love it so!
No pizza? How come?
DeleteDon't know... I've been eating extremely low calory food in recent years kinda like a little bunny... eating only boiled and steamed and raw veggies :) And only three or four times a month I maybe make pasta, or something breaded or some puff pastry....
DeleteOhhhh. Well, that's understandable if you're wanting to say more clean eating. But homemade pizza could be good with brown flours, no cheese and homemade sauce with lots of veg on top.
DeleteWe were going pizza tonight but changed it up to breakfast, with another eight strand plaited loaf. My gosh, baking bread ... I seriously could do it all ding dong day long.
the problem with me is that I have a body like a walrus - everything I eat, even the smallest of quantities, goes immediately to fat, and this is why I have to eat like a poor kid from Africa. It's a sad diet, but what can I do?
Deletethere be dragons again... okay and not that they cannot play these roles, i just don't think them to being that strong on their acting skills... one a hobbit, one a geek.
ReplyDeleteI do prefer geeks to hobbits, I must confess :)
DeleteI love the httyd movies. We just watched the Christmas special the other day. Can't wait for the new one.
ReplyDeleteAnd yay on the treats linky. Coming to see your confectionary goodness right now Dezzy!
It is such an enchanting animated movie!
DeleteHope you will like the treats over there and get some ideas for your Christmas cake :)
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2
ReplyDeleteI liked the first I think I'll love the second also :)
Cheers .

DeleteGrand Piano looks like a gripping film! And I've already been over to Melanie's and drooled over your cakes -- yum!
ReplyDeleteWhat? You drooled over them? Well, now you will just have to eat them all :)
DeleteMy son has read all the How to Train Your books.
ReplyDeleteWe also have seen the first movie, and the TV cartoons, so I suspect that this will be on my list of movies I go to next year. I definitely will go look at your cakes! You had me at Eat!
I bet he enjoys them too, such lovely stories!
DeleteHope you will like the cakes from Dezzy's Cake Shop, Dave :)
