I am a huge fan of mythology, especially Greek mythology, so I am absolutely stoked about the Immortals movie which is hitting theaters November 11th, 2011 — in fact 11-11-11 is a very auspicious number so everything looks like it’s coming up roses for this fantasy film! The uber busy man of steel himself Henry Cavill has the starring role of Theseus and from what I’ve seen so far this flick should be epic and definitely a lot of fun.

The Fall of Man

The creators of the film couldn’t get enough of this world that the movie is set in, so what did they do? Well, they decided to create a graphic novel to entertain us that much more! Immortals has spawned the graphic novel Immortals: Gods and Heroes and it looks epic! Here’s a video compliments of IGN.

Kate Beckinsale is once again reprising her role as Selene the Death Dealer in Underworld: Awakening, the fourth film in the Underworld franchise. Screen Gems has released this first trailer of the upcoming film which is coming to theaters on January 20th, 2012 in both 2D and 3D. And who doesn’t want to see more of Beckinsale in her tight black vinyl suit and in 3D no less? Rumors are swirling that Scott Speedman will also be joining the cast but who knows if that will happen.

Director: Måns Mårlind, Björn Stein
Written by: Len Wiseman, John Hlavin, Allison Burnett, J. Michael Straczynski
Cast: Kate Beckinsale, Stephen Rea, Michael Ealy, Theo James, India Eisley, Charles Dance

Synopsis: Selene escapes imprisonment and finds herself in a world where humans have discovered the existence of both Vampire and Lycan clans, and are conducting an all-out war to eradicate both immortal species.

So what do you think of this trailer? Does it look like more of the same? Or will this movie be as good as the others?

Underworld Trivia

The model for the Selene character was the psychic vampire of the Hellfire Club in the X-Men comics, the Black Queen Selene.

Kate Beckinsale first met future husband Len Wiseman on the set of Underworld.

Here it is folks! Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have given us a 1st look at Henry Cavill as the Man of Steel.

Now that’s not Photoshopped muscles you’re seeing either. Nope, Cavill has been training hard and eating 5000 calories a day to get the Superman physique. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

The only thing I’m not sure about is the hair.

2011 IS the Year of the Comicbook Movie

Man of Steel is directed by Zack Snyder and costars Amy Adams as the Daily Planet journalist Louis Lane. Laurence Fishburne fills in as her editor-in-chief Perry White. Diane Lane and Kevin Costner will play Clark Kent’s earth parents, and Julia Ormond and Russell Crowe take up the roles of Superman’s biological Kryptonian parents. Christopher Meloni from Law and Order: SVU has been cast as an ally general while Michael Shannon has been cast as General Zod. That’s some pretty impressive casting.

Man of Steel hits theaters June 14th, 2013.

What do you think about the new Superman? His suit? His hair?

Disney’s Tangled is one of my favorite Disney movies. It’s Disney’s 50th animated film, it’s cute, funny, cool and has one of my favorite songs in it too. “I See the Light” sang by Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi is one of those songs that make your eyes water and shine with happiness. It’s a popular wedding song too from what I hear. It also makes me want to bust out the karaoke machine and start singing from the rooftops. I’ve included the song lyrics so you can sing along… because I know you’ll want to. It’s just one of those songs. Enjoy the video!

“I See the Light” Lyrics

All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I’ve been
Now I’m here, blinking in the starlight
Now I’m here, suddenly I see
Standing here, it’s all so clear
I’m where I’m meant to be

And at last I see the light
And it’s like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it’s like the sky is new
And it’s warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you

Eugene (Flynn):
All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were

Now she’s here shining in the starlight
Now she’s here, suddenly I know
If she’s here it’s crystal clear
I’m where I’m meant to go

Rapunzel & Eugene (Flynn):
And at last I see the light

Eugene (Flynn):
And it’s like the fog has lifted

Rapunzel & Eugene (Flynn):
And at last I see the light

Rapunzel:
And it’s like the sky is new

Rapunzel & Eugene (Flynn):
And it’s warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once, everything is different
Now that I see you, now that I see you

Every now and again one needs to “get away” and build sandcastles on the beach. So that is the plan for the gang at The Scribe’s Desk. But never fear! We’ll still be dishin’ the ish, just short and sweet and to the point!

Make sure to come back later today for the regular True Blood review. We’re at that point that everyone has been waiting for!
