'EMPIRE' SEASON 2
ADAM RODRIGUEZ TO GIVE SOME SUGAR TO COOKIE
One of our favourite series this year was definitely EMPIRE over at Fox which is, as you know, returning this September 23rd for a longer 18 episode second season, and they're already casting new stars: the record breaking show, which follows a broken family behind a huge music label, will see CSI star Adam Rodriguez joining the cast as a smooth talking concert promoter with expert hustler skills, a native New Yorker and former EMT who takes an interest in Cookie (Taraji P. Henson). It has already been announced that Chris Rock, Alicia Keys, Lenny Kravitz and Ne-Yo will all guest star in the second run of the show.
NEW 'SUFFRAGETTE' TRAILER
WITH MERYL STREEP, CAREY MULLIGAN, HELENA BONHAM CARTER, BEN WHISHAW
A new trailer has been released for Meryl Streep's new drama which opens this year's London Film Festival and hits cinemas in October. SUFFRAGETTE follows the women who were willing to lose
everything in their fight for equality in early 20th century Britain. Maud (Carey Mulligan) is a working wife and mother whose life is forever changed when she is secretly recruited to join the U.K.'s growing
suffragette movement. Galvanized by the outlaw fugitive Emmeline Pankhurst (Meryl Streep), Maud becomes an activist for the cause alongside women from all walks of life. Helena Bonham Carter, Brendan Gleeson and Ben Whishaw also star.

ReplyDeletehe's the Viking type, isn't he?
DeleteYes he is!!!!! Hehe
Delete;)
DeleteSuffragette looks amazing and I smell Oscar nod for Meryl.
ReplyDeleteshe will probably get an Oscar nod for FLORENCE JENKINS in which she plays world's worst Opera singer :)
DeleteExcuse me but I'm the world's worst opera singer and I don't see any Oscar coming my way any time soon.
Deleteyou need a better agent and a manager....
DeleteAnd a better doctor.
Deletethat we need all! And a hot nurse too...
DeleteOne will do. Will she do? Who will she do? :p
Deletethe one with the swollen body parts....
DeleteUm...
Deleteexactly
DeleteI love movies about times of progress.
ReplyDeletetoo bad we haven't been progressing much as humanity in recent years...
DeleteIf the rest of the world follows Irelands example, perhaps we will see something positive spread round the world.
Deletefingers crossed, dear, although I don't see it happening as long as the greedy nations are ruling the world and exploiting others instead of progressing together
DeleteSUFFRAGETTE does sound like it's going to be a must see!
ReplyDeleteand a tear-jerker
DeleteSuffragette has my attention! Empire season two will rock the world. Duh.
ReplyDeleteit will rock it totally. Can't wait for Cookie to bring us back her sugar
DeleteEmpire was such a HUGE hit, which probably made American Idol expendable. No love lost from me, however.
ReplyDeleteI didn't expect it would be such a hit, but it was thanks to quick writing and exciting plots
DeleteI know three people n your title! A record for me.
ReplyDeleteget used to unknown names :) The spy is known for discovering new stars and writing about them before they get seriously popular... which is why so many celebs love us and read us :)
DeleteMeryl is burning up the cinemas right now and I'm so pleased to see it. Suffragette should be another good one as that story is gripping. We had to take a year of Women's Studies at University and we did a semester on this and on the leading women in the American movement. It was wonderful to read about those women.
ReplyDeleteSo I've returned from a long day. We don't have enough time to have a dress made, so we're going to buy off rack. The Spawn found two dresses she likes and one of them was so beautiful it made me cry. It's all hitting me that my little girls is really getting married. I can still remember her as a tiny thing in my arms and then there she was, resplendent in white and looking like a princess.
She is, she has that movie in which she plays the rock singer, then this one and then FLORENCE JENKINS.... she is rocking it.
DeleteImagine the tears when your baby gives you her own babies in a few years time :) I'm so happy for your, dear, I can't even describe it! If someone deserves a lil' happiness after all we've been through in our lives, it's us from the Shenanigan's Pub!
I can see Adam Rodriguez as a smooth talker. Ain't he handsome :) I think I'll like the Meryl Streep series. She still has TALENT!
ReplyDeletehope he and Cookie get some steamy scenes :) and I hope she doesn't get back to Lucious... can't stand him! Wish she really killed him in the last season :)
DeleteI like the sound of Suffragette I think it will be a good movie.
ReplyDeleteno doubt!
DeleteHandsome pic. I've heard good things about Empire. I tend to catch shows later on with a streaming service, and this show is definitely one I'd like to see in its entirety.
ReplyDeleteit has only about ten episodes or so, so it is not difficult to catch :)
DeleteSuffragate sounds interesting...although the word just sticks in your brain, doesn't it? Any opportunity to learn about history at the movies is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteyep, it's a strange word, ain't it?
DeleteMeryl Streep is definitely hitting it beautifully being in great roles and interesting films recently.
ReplyDeleteyou mean always?
DeleteI hope Suffragette is a good movie. That cast certainly makes it sound like it will be. I hope it holds up.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to check it out.
it doesn't have a US distributor yet :)
DeleteWhen it does come to the states.... I'll be there.
DeleteThanks for the tip!
hope it gets it :)
DeleteReally looking forward to Suffragette! The votes for women movement was much more violent in England than it was in Canada or the USA.
ReplyDeleteand to think that there are still so many places around the world in which people still haven't got rights.... A hundred years after....
DeleteMeryl Streep? Can't be wrong! Looking forward to this movie!
ReplyDeleteshe is always great!
