NEW TRAILER FOR "HANNA"

It's sorta like True Grit when you think about it, but a little less Country.  The Trailer for Hanna has just been released and it looks pretty intriguing if you ask me. 

Academy Award nominee Saoirse Ronan who delivered the goods in 2007's Atonement, plays a 14 year-old Girl trained to be a Killer by her Father (Eric Bana) in the woods of Finland. Cate Blanchett plays Marissa, an Intelligence Operative who has her Agents hunting for Hanna in a chase across Europe.  The Joe Wright (Atonement, The Soloist) Film hits theatres April 8, 2011 via Focus Features.

CATE BLANCHETT LAUNCHES SOLAR INSTALLATION AT THE SYDNEY THEATRE COMPANY

Cate Blanchett and husband Andrew Upton

Bravo to Cate Blanchett, who in addition to being one of the most brilliant Actresses in Hollywood, is also a dedicated Environmentalist, Thespian and Creative Director for the Sydney Theatre Company.  The Company just launched its cutting-edge solar powered rooftop installation yesterday, the second largest of its kind in Australia, and both Blanchett and husband Andrew Upton were there as part of the festivities.  It is said that over 70% of the venue's power supply will now be solar.

The couple have issued this statement: "Theatre has always been a place to stimulate visionary conversations and practical action. Now that this immense solar array is operating here at Sydney Theatre Company, we hope it will inspire others, including the hundreds of thousands of people who pass through the Company each year, to take their own steps in tackling the challenges of climate change".    To read more on the initiative, click here.

Blanchett will soon begin production on Peter Jackson's The Hobbit as Galadriel.

REVIEW: ROBIN HOOD (2010)

Although it's completely not my genre, Sir Ridley Scott's Robin Hood gives moviegoers a lot of bang for their buck. The story follows Robin Longstride (Russell Crowe), an Archer fighting under King Richard's regime in France.  He and his comrades decidee to  returns to England after the King is killed at war.  Along the way, he comes across Robert Locksley (Douglas Hodge) who is ordered by King Richard to return his Crown to England, but Robert dies in transit and he entrusts Robin to take over the task, while requesting one final wish for him to to return his sword back to his father, Sir Walter Loxley (Max von Sydow).  

It is learned though that Godfrey (Mark Strong), who appears to be have allegiances to England, is actually plotting a secret French invasion of England. An arrogant and egotistical King John (Oscar Isaac) is crowned the new King of England after learning of his brother's death,  and he appoints Godfrey as Earl Marshall,  proving to be a fatal error. Along the way, Robin and his companions return to England where he meets Sir Walter and his daughter-in-law Marion (Cate Blanchett).  Robin is rewarded with more than he bargains for, including the hand in marriage of his Robert's strong-willed estranged wife, who agrees to re-wed only to keep her 5,000 acres of land as she would not be able to keep this without her husband being present.
