What do you all think?

I'm not sure I like the lighting, but I'm not the Director of Photography... and there are snippets of Italy. Red cloaks? I imagined a different type of red--darker.

I'm very excited to see this movie! Rachel McAdams is awesome and I'm sure Eric Bana will be too. I've only ever seen him in "Troy" and her in "The Notebook", which were fabulous films themselves. Actually, now that I'm looking at her list of films, I've also seen her in "Mean Girls" and "Wedding Crashers" too...

"The Time Traveler's Wife" ("The Time Traveller's Wife" in the UK) is based on the internationally best-selling novel by Audrey Niffenegger about a love that transcends through time.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (Paramount Pictures)
In Theatres: August 7, 2009
Director: Stephen Sommers
Featuring: Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Christopher Eccleston, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Byung-hun Lee, Sienna Miller, Rachel Nichols, Ray Park, Jonathan Pryce, Dennis Quaid, etc.
Classification: PG-13 (PG Canada; 12A UK & Ireland)
Length: 118 minutes

I'm thinking of seeing this movie this weekend. I really do like Sienna Miller and Jonathan Pryce, and the movie looks quite interesting. It looks sort of like (and I'm generalizing a bit 'cause obviously I've never gotten into G.I. Joe) Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider series. And there doesn't look like anything else is coming out worth seeing (besides Adam, but I've already seen it). I probably wouldn't have noticed it, if I didn't see a small clip of it on the TODAY Show. Promotions do work. LOL.

I wish the Canadian channels would pick up "Friday Nights with Jonathan Ross"...maybe CTV or Global TV? I've watched clips of it on YouTube, but it's not the same as watching the full episode with the intro and everything (since the intros are rarely uploaded onto YouTube). Or even if they made it available to download on iTunes like his radio programme on BBC Radio 2.

Emma Watson recently appeared on his show (I think it was July 3) and the Intro (first video) has no spoilers, and with the second video (part 1), they start talking about HBP 7 minutes into the clip (no HBP spoilers before then):



And she appeared on "The Early Show" this morning:

Daniel Radcliffe & Rupert Grint on ROVE (Australian TV):
Part 1: I wouldn't say there are spoilers but there are small clips from the film that were released and part of the final trailer is played.
Part 2: No spoilers at all - the Final 5.
The "magical" books are yellow pages!! I really laughed at that!!
