Florence + the Machine's new song Breath of Life is truly an amazing song and really adds an element of epicness to the soundtrack of the up and coming movie Snow White and the Huntsman.

Listen to this
Jack White's new single, Sixteen Saltines , has a very unusual twist to it, which personally at first I didn't like it, but now after listening a couple of times I am now addicted to it.
P.S. Jack will be composing the score to Disney's The Lone Ranger which will star Johnny Depp. I am already looking forward to watch this movie even though no trailer is available yet.

99 Problems
It is a rarity when the original song sounds less awesome than the newer version sang by another artist, as it is in this case. Enjoy ;D

Keep it Happy!
Just watched the musical/movie The Producers (2005) and I love the movie :D So here is a mini review and little surprise at the end.
Story
So mainly the story focuses on two characters, a producer and an accountant who together in order to evade taxes and earn millions at the same time they try and create a musical which will open and close on the same night (in other words it will flop).
Acting and Characters of the movie
Nathan Lane as Max Bialystock; previously I had only seen him on TV, such as in Sex and the City and 30 Rock. I personally found him absolutely brilliant in this movie and would wish that he appeared in more movies and TV series.
Matthew Broderick as Leo Bloom. Personally I never was a fan of his, but he really impressed me in this movie.
Will Ferrell as Franz Liebkind. I'm also not a huge fan of his, but Will Ferrell playing a German pigeon-loving Nazi, you cannot go wrong. So please Will Ferrell, do more characters like these in your future movies.
Uma Thurman as Ula. I prefer Uma in more serious roles, but loved her Swedish accent and didn't disappoint at all.
Gary Beach as Roger De Bris. It's such a pity that he doesn't appear in more movies, he is absolutely incredibly talented especially as a comedienne. Love his facial expressions.
Roger Bart as Carmen Ghia. Loved him as well, he needs to appear in more comedy movies together with Gary Beach they would make a perfect comedic team.
To summarise; the cast was amazing together.
Direction and Location
The movie was clearly filmed within a studio, but the color palette used was very beautiful and complemented well with the movie's tone/mood.
Soundtrack
Since it is a musical, then over half the movie consists of songs, which I absolutely loved. They were catchy, not boring and absolutely funny. Pity not all musicals have such a funny soundtrack.
Who should watch this?
I suggest that it is suitable for at least those over 13/15 years of age, there is some adult content but not too much. And some of the comedy will only be understood by adults and personally I suggest that if you get the DVD put on the subtitles to follow the story better as in my musical movies when it comes to singing I don't always understand everything and would sometimes have to rewind a bit.
Conclusion
If you love musicals and love comedy and love Mel Brookes than this is the movie for you. I would rate it 4.5/5 as I would definitely watch it again and again and apart from the fact that I cannot stop thinking about it and how fun it was. And as promised here is a video of one of my favourite scenes. Keep it Happy everyone!
