Twilight Barbie Dolls

As a followup to our post on the original Bella and Edward dolls…

I would like to direct everyone’s attention to the fact that Barbie is now jumping into the arena with their own version:

I think they’re weird.

Cirque Du Freak movie trailer

Looks awesome!

Sneak peek: New Moon

Can you absolutely NOT wait for the movie New Moon to come out? Well, I can’t make it come out any sooner, but I can tell you that an exclusive preview will be shown at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards.

So be sure to tune in on Sunday, May 31 at 9:00pm. And if you miss it? Sorry, then you have to wait until the movie is released on November 20.

Coraline, the movie

I have to admit – I’m a HUGE Neil Gaiman fan. For those of you who are unfamiliar with his work, he has written both graphics and traditional novels, as well as picture books and short stories. Some titles are Stardust, the Sandman series, American Gods, and of course Coraline.

Coraline is one of my all-time favorites. It’s a super-creepy story about a how a bored girl spends a rainy day stuck inside her house. That’s all I’m going to say about it because I really think you should read it. There is a graphic novel version also. And on February 6, they are releasing the movie. So far, I’m pretty disappointed with the previews. Much of the creepy factor seems to have been lost. I’ll be interested to see if any new fans develop or if this was made specifically for a younger crowd…

“Diary of a Wimpy Kid” fans?

There will be an online casting call for the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie! Twentieth Century Fox is looking for a bright, precocious and appealing young actor, age 10-13, for the lead role of Greg Heffley.

So, if anyone has a younger brother, this may be their time to shine! Keep in mind, the filmmakers will be auditioning males, age 10-13 ONLY. The character of Greg Heffley is slight, physically unprepossessing, and not overly cute or precocious. He has a quirky, memorable face, is bright and articulate, and possesses a vivid fantasy life — but he is cursed by the fact that he’s in middle school. Auditioning actors must be able to handle dialog and have a flair for ironic comedy. (Think: a younger version of Michael Cera.)

Good luck!

Stephenie Meyer mania!

Well, as the countdown continues for both Stephenie Meyer’s latest book in the Twilight series AND the release of the movie version of Twilight, I thought you would be happy to see this awesome movie poster…

Don’t forget to reserve your copy of Breaking Dawn. If you forget when it comes out, there is a counter on our MySpace.
