The Maze Runner Official Trailer: Trailer + Review

Okay, I think that I can see how cool this could be...

Dylan O' Brian stars in 2014's The Maze Runner

One of my favourite reviewers and overall YouTube personalities Ms Grace Randolph (Beyond the Trailer) recently reviewed this trailer, and stated that she received incredibly large 'Lord of the Flies' vibes from it. As a British guy, I recently read Lord of the Flies for my exams, and understand completely what she means. The Maze Runner seems to be the first young adult novel adaptation to not be for young adults, but merely to feature them. One of the key themes of 'Lord of the Flies' was that of Civilization vs. Savagery, something we can clearly see reflected in this, the first trailer, at 1:16 seconds where someone appears to be burning at the stake.

Disney Maleficent Trailer 4 "Wings" - Trailer + Review

Angelina Jolie seems even more evil as each trailer for Maleficent is released...

"I had wings once. They were strong. They were stolen from me."

Angelina Jolie and young Elle Fanning are seriously beginning to create mega buzz for Disney's latest live action fairy-tale adaptation: Maleficent. Interestingly, this is only the first live action Disney princess move so far, with Universal's Snow White and the Huntsman beating them to it. Disney had mass success with Alice in Wonderland though, and Oz the Great and the Powerful wasn't far behind. Can the company earn huge bucks once again with this deliciously dark twist on Sleeping Beauty? Watch the trailer by clicking the link below and let us know what you think in the comments...

My Thoughts on the Call The Midwife Series 3 Finale

Spoilers ensue...

I'd like to state now that a review for Call the Midwife Series 3 will be up soon, but I personally felt like I wanted to give a response to this weeks Call the Midwife closing episode. It is for this reason that this update is to be in italics, showing how this is a personal and emotive response to the episodes events rather than a more un-biased review. I hope you enjoy this first of many 'reaction' posts...
