Rock of Ages soundtrack list released

The track list for Rock of Ages has finally been announced and there are some good tracks in here. I am not really a big fan of Tom Cruise, kind of thing i like in small doses but i have to say that i am really looking forward to seeing Rock of Ages, mainly cause i love a good musical and 80's music is just a guilty pleasure.

'Paradise City' (Tom Cruise)
'Sister Christian' /'Just Like Paradise' / 'Nothin' But A Good Time' (Julianne Hough, Diego Boneta, Russell Brand, Alec Baldwin)
'Juke Box Hero' / 'I Love Rock 'n' Roll' (Diego Boneta, Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand, Julianne Hough)
'Hit Me With Your Best Shot' (Catherine Zeta-Jones)
'Waiting For A Girl Like You' (Diego Boneta, Julianne Hough)
'More Than Words' / 'Heaven' (Julianne Hough, Diego Boneta)
'Wanted Dead Or Alive' (Tom Cruise, Julianne Hough)
'I Want To Know What Love Is' (Tom Cruise, Malin Akerman)
'I Wanna Rock' (Diego Boneta)
'Pour Some Sugar On Me' (Tom Cruise)
'Harden My Heart' (Julianne Hough, Mary J. Blige)
'Shadows of the Night' / 'Harden My Heart' (Mary J. Blige, Julianne Hough)
'Here I Go Again' (Diego Boneta, Paul Giamatti, Julianne Hough, Mary J. Blige, Tom Cruise)
'Can't Fight This Feeling' (Russell Brand, Alec Baldwin)
'Any Way You Want It' (Mary J. Blige, Constantine Maroulis, Julianne Hough)
'Undercover Love' (Diego Boneta)
'Every Rose Has Its Thorn' (Julianne Hough, Diego Boneta, Tom Cruise, Mary J. Blige)
'Rock You Like A Hurricane' (Julianne Hough, Tom Cruise)
'We Built This City' / 'We're Not Gonna Take It' (Russell Brand / Catherine Zeta-Jones)
'Don't Stop Believin' (Julianne Hough, Diego Boneta, Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand, Mary J. Blige)

The cast for this film is varied from the very experienced Cruise and Catherine Zeta Jones and the relatively new Julianne Hough and Diego Boneta who will be playing the main characters that are trying to make it big, so they head to the big city where they meet and fall in love at first sight (kind of typical, not really that original) and the film follows them on their journey. I loved Hough in the Footloose remake so looking forward to see if she can stand out amongst the bigger stars in the film and she has some great songs that hopefully she will be able to pull off and i have seen Boneta in a few things he was in Mean Girls 2 and he played Javier in 90210 but i am looking forward to seeing him take on a more of a lead role away from the teen scene.

The songs speak for themselves this is going to be all the best rock'n'roll from the 80's, i really hope Cruise doesn't ruin Paradise City for me because i love that song and it wouldn't be the 80's without some Journey. Rounding off the ensemble are Alec Baldwin, Mary J Blidge and Russell Brand (love him) and i can't wait to see them all together. I have high expectations of this film, even though i don't like Tom Cruise i will make the effort to watch it because it looks awesome!!!

Don't forget to check back for a review of the film

Films to look out for this Summer Part 1

The Avengers
Release Date: 26th April (UK)
The film that is starting of the summer season and in contention for the Summer Blockbuster title. The film brings together Iorn Man (Robert Downey Jr), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemmsworth), Black Widow (Scarlett Johanson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) to save the world from the bad guys in this case Loki (Tom Hiddleston) who wants to take over the world. Its basically the biggest superhero film ever brought to you by director Joss Whedon.

American Reunion
Release Date: 2nd May
The next in the series of the American Pie films brings the cast back for their 10 year high school reunion. The cast of Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Sean William Scott, Tara Reid, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Eddie Thomas and Mena Suvari reunite for a fun packed film.

The Lucky One
Release Date: 2nd May
Adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel which everyone knows means that we are going to cry as i have done with every other adaptation of his books including The Notebook, The Last Song and a Walk to Remember. The film stars Zac Effron who returns from war in Iraq in search of the women who saved his life (its complicated cause technically she didn't but he thinks she did). It has EPIC love story written all over it. Also stars Taylor Schilling and Blythe Danner

Don't forget to bring your tissues!!!


Dark Shadows
Release Date: 11th May
Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are back together again, they seem to come as a pair when you make a film. To be honest i don't know much about the film but it looks good and funny from the trailer even with the title.

Prepare to laugh a lot i imagine

Men in Black 3
Release Date: 25th May
Who hasn't been waiting years to see this film???? and now they are back are two favourite secret agents, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back in black to save the world from aliens well mostly but with time traveling this time and Josh Brolin coming in to play a young Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones). I have high hopes for this film so it better be good, especially since we have waited long enough for it.

Prometheus
Release Date: 1st June
From the director Ridley Scott (Alien) comes the adventure into space that is all about discovering the origins of mankind. From the trailer it doesn't look like a film for the faint hearted i imagine i will be cowering behind a cushion through it wondering what is going to happen next but it does look really good. The film stars Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Guy Pearce, Noomi Rapace, Micheal Fassbender and Logan Marshall-Green.

LOL
Release Date: 1st June
The film has been described as a "romance in the YouTube age", its kind of a teen drama film set in high school and probably will follow the same pattern as the other films that fit into that genre, the film stars Miley Cyrus, Demi Moore and Ashley Greene and actually looks good if it is your type of film. It will be a film that will take you on a roller coaster of emotions as you follow the status up dating character Lol (Miley Cyrus) as she battles through high school.

Snow White and the Huntsmen
Release Date: 1st June
The second of the Snow White adaptations out this year but this one is taking it a lot darker than the light hearted Mirror Mirror. We all know the basics of the Snow White fairy tale with the wicked witch wanting to kill Snow White so she can rule forever. But this film shows that the film is going to be a lot more action packed. Kristen Stuart is taking the role of Snow White, Charlize Theron taking the role of the Wicked Queen and Chris Hemsworth is "The Huntsmen"

I really hope this is going to be a good film.

Rock of Ages
Release Date: 15th June
This film looks awesome!!! I have seen bits and pieces of the musical online and its finally being made into a film. The story is about two people trying to make there dreams come true in 1987, they fall in love as soon as they meet. Being set in the 80's we are guaranteed some great music cause who doesn't love 80's music. There is a big cast in this film with lots of cameos, the two main characters are played by Julianne Hough and Diego Boneta also Catherine Zeta Jones, Russel Brand, Alec Baldwin, Paul Giamatti and as the rockstar Stacee Jaxx, Tom Cruise!!!

The Amazing Spider Man
Release Date: 4th July
Probably going to be one of the biggest films this summer as the new Spider-man is unveiled. Andrew Garfield takes on the legendary hero with Emma Stone at his side. I can't wait!!!! (more info in previous post)
