Happy New Year! If there is one feature on this blog you can count on, it’s the weekly trailers. Ever since I started it, I haven’t missed a single Sunday and I shall not miss one this new year either. Let’s check out the trailers I found this week, which are quite frankly not a lot because no one did anything in between the holidays apparently.
Movies
The Beauty and the Beast
Emma, as if she hadn’t been perfect before, can also sing like an angel. I want visuals for that!
Leap!
I don’t know, but something about the voices is off. Like they don’t fit the characters somehow.
Dance Academy
I am a total sucker for dance movies, but there are very few ones that can come close to Central Stage of Step Up aka my faves.
TV Shows
Sherlock (Behind the Scenes)
Couldn’t watch it live, but shall watch Sherlock soon (obviously).
Chicago Justice
I still want to call it Chicago Law … but whatever, they don’t have to listen to me.
Switched at Birth (Season 5)
This month, this month, it’s going to be back this month!
The Royals
A belated Christmas treat from one of my favourite shows. Because you know … only 360 odd days until Christmas.
What are you watching these days? Let’s talk about that!
Life and Other Disasters 
Happy New Year!!

It’s Dane DeHaan’s voice, it sounds too mature for a character of that age.

THAT’s why the voice seemed so familiar!

1. You can kind of tell it’s Emma Watson’s first time singing, but it’s pretty good. I can see her putting out a Christmas album later this year.
2. Yeah, you’re right. The visuals are nice, the story looks interesting, but the voices are too old for characters who look to be in their teens.
3. Lot of dance-themed movies coming out this year. I guess I’m not the only one finding an interest in ballet (though I think I’d rather watch a real ballet than a drama based around ballerinas).
4. I saw a trailer for Scandal last week, and I think I saw one for Sleepy Hollow too, though I wouldn’t swear to it. Though I don’t think those are your kind of shows, so I’m not surprised they’re not here.

I used to watch Scandal, but I got bored in the last season. Shonda has amazing show ideas, but I can only ever take so much of them …

I just couldn’t fit Scandal into my TV watching schedule after I got my job. I’m waiting for the new season to get to Netflix.
BTW, I looked up that film Leap after I commented. Turns out it’s originally French. So if I do decide to watch it, I’ll probably wait till it’s on DVD and I can watch it in the original French with subtitles. Because there’s no way someone who’s 18 and someone who’s 30 can pull off 13-15 year olds. At least not these two actors!

Aaah! That makes so much sense. When I watched the Leap trailer, I knew that I had seen it before, but I couldn’t place it. I am pretty sure now that I’ve seen it already in the original language with subtitles.

In French, it’s called Ballerina, if that helps. I believe the American distributor is doing the Disney approach, trying to mask the girly aspect of the movie by giving it a gender-neutral title so as to attract more men to the film.
Too bad the voice-acting choices are probably going to work against them.

The voices, unfortunately, really were a terrible choice.

Don’t you just hate that? It’s like the Lorax all over again, only without the star power behind it. LOL

Mentioning star power, did you watch The Little Prince? I adore that movie so much and I did not expect to.

No, haven’t seen it. I’ve seen a couple previews for it though.

I thought it was magnificent.

I saw Zootopia recently, and really enjoyed that one.

Oh yeah, that one is super cute. Storks was a bit of a disappointment though.
