Walking on Sunshine looks like a cute movie. Now I'll have that song in my head all day. :)

DeleteThat is neat.
Deleteneat and sweet
Deletethe song... it's stuck. :)
ReplyDeletehopefully not in a bad place :)
DeleteA brain worm... Help!
Deletefeed him to the fish, feed him to the fish
DeleteI love the Arthurian Legends but I'm sick to death of all the endless movies and TV series made from them over the past 10-15 years. However, I will go see Guy Ritchie's version just because he's directing it and I like his work.
ReplyDeletejust hope he won't make it violent and that Madonna won't play Guinevere LOL
DeleteMaybe if we're lucky, Arthur and Lancelot will be lovers in this one. I don't think that angle has been explored before?
Deletethey could compare their swords at the Roundtable with the other knights LOL
DeleteGreat walking in sunshine ! Fresh movie !
ReplyDeleteit IS very refreshing :)
DeleteIdris Elba - excellent actor. Jude Law - excellent actor. I shall enjoy both films :)
ReplyDeletewe do adore Jude! He's our dude!
DeleteLeona Lewis's Bleeding Love came up on SongPop today and I was thinking, "Whatever happened to her?" Now I know! I never really cared for that song, Walking on Sunshine, but she did a good job remaking it. Her version sounds a lot less obnoxious...and her video is DEFINITELY better than the Katrina & The Waves one was: http://youtu.be/iPUmE-tne5U
ReplyDeleteshe had tones of huge hits after BLEEDING LOVE around the world, from RUN, LOVEBIRD, TROUBLE too HAPPY, I GOT YOU, BETTER IN TIME, COLLIDE, ONE MORE SLEEP and famous AVATAR song I SEE YOU
DeleteIdris Elba as Bedivere!!!!!! OMG. As someone who writes Arthurian fiction, this is the best news EVER!
ReplyDeleteI knew you would like that info :)
DeleteI tend to like most things Guy Ritchie does and I LOVE Jude Law so your first two are definitely going on my must see list.

DeleteEven though the settings are confined, I've enjoyed submarine movies. If there's lots of tension and great acting, I'm in.
ReplyDeleteHope you're watching LOST SHIP TNT's summer show, it's similar in topic
DeleteYou know, ever since Guy Ritchie cast Madonna in that one terrible movie (what the hell was it called? see, so bad I can't even remember the title!), I just can't take anything he does seriously.
ReplyDeleteme too, and marrying that wicked old croon really isn't a good reference to anyone
DeleteKnights of the round table by Guy Ritchie very interesting!
ReplyDeletehope they choose the knights carefully
