MELANCHOLIA - Lars Von Trier's new film is, apparently, a 'psychological drama-cum-disaster-movie'. It looks radically different from anything Von Trier has tackled before, and I can't wait to see how the great auteur works with the themes of apocalypse within the melodrama that the trailer suggests. He has managed to amass an impressive cast for the film (Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Charlotte Rampling, both Stellan and Alexander Skarsgard, John Hurt and Kiefer Sutherland) but really, if this bares any relation to other Von Trier films, then we won't know anything about the film until its release, and possibly nothing afterwards! But it's guaranteed to be an interesting watch- out on July 1st.

CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE - This comedy/drama caught my eye because it has one of my favourite actors (Ryan Gosling), one of my favourite actresses (Julianne Moore), one of my favourite young acting talents (Emma Stone), and a guy that I loved in Anchorman (Steve Carell). It also looks like it might produce some genuine laughs and some genuine tears. We'll see!

I watched Serenity tonight. Not Joss Whedon's best. Definitely felt like I needed to be a fan of Firefly to really 'get' it. I did get more and more into it as it went on though. And Nathan Fillion rocks. And it only cost me 99p. Aaaaaand, I love Buffy far too much to ever begrudge Joss Whedon anything. 3/5.
