Alien and Predator, it was all a facade

Alien lvs Predator

 

Alien and Predator recently realised that all the fighting and battling was merely a facade for their built up sexual tension, and they tied the knot this week on a secret planet.

It all started after Darth Vader played Cupid and sent them on a blind date. They met again, realised their fate and were married within months.

Jamie Lee Curtis is said to be ‘chuffed for them both’.

The Greatest Wedding Moments in Film

The Greatest Wedding Moments in Film

Hi Folks,

Todays blog was very enjoyable as we looooove films (fact) here at MWV HQ.

We are predominantly film makers and we try to portray a certain cinematic quality to all of our videos, concentrating on the cinematography and mise en scene.

Our ideas and inspirations have been inspired by hours and hours of watching films.

This week I decided to let you in to my top ten ‘best wedding moments’ in film.

You may or may not agree with me on the list and I would love you to comment on the bottom with your thoughts.

 

No.10 The Graduate (1967)

This is a wonderful wedding scene with a great twist as Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft run away in to the sunset. I think a lot of grooms have a worrying thought about something like this happening during the pregnant pause after the priest has said: ‘If anyone knows of any reason…’

 

 

9. Waynes World 2 (1993)

How many of you were thinking of this scene when watching the scene above? A great spoof – a real ‘laugh out loud’ wedding moment.

 

8. My Best Friends Wedding (1997)

I must admit to being a lousy romantic, but this final scene in My Best Friend’s wedding makes me wish I was a better one. George (Rupert Everett) is waxing lyrical on the phone to Julianne (Julia Roberts) and his banter is gentle, warm and witty. I don’t know how long it’d be before I cracked to make a joke about the size of the mobiles…

 

7. Beetlejuice (1988)

This is one of the most eye-catching and creative wedding scenes of modern times. Stars like Michael KeatonWinona RyderAlec Baldwin and Geena Davis all in one scene together creates wonderful, surreal feel. And how brides would love to be able to get in to their wedding dress as easy as that,  eh?! “Daylight come and me wanna go home!”

 

6. Love Actually (2003)

Even being an unromantic male (see above) I love the idea of this wedding day surprise. Fantastic tune and great singing (although I would have preferred the garage classic Forgive Me by Lynden David Hall).

 

5. The Freaks (1932)

Although this film is not seen as particularly PC these days, I just wanna say one thing: How great would it be to film this wedding as a Music Wedding Video?What a fantastic, fun yet uneasy scene to watch. A great mix between the mad and the brilliant!

 

 

4. Four Weddings and a Funeral

Priests, oh crazy priests! It’s soooooo uncool to get your partner’s name wrong at the altar, yet it’s sooooo funny if the priest does it. Probably the funniest British wedding scene in history, brilliantly played by Rowan Atkinson and obviously starring Hugh errrrrrr Grant.

 

3. Father of The Bride (1991)

Brilliant monologue played out by the brilliant Steve Martin. After having a baby girl recently, this resonates deeper with me now than before. I can imagine it also does with a huge number of fathers out there on their daughter’s big day (no matter how tough they are!).

2. Bridesmaids (2011)

A contemporary comedy wedding film that I found funny in parts. I quite like this scene because it shows that it is not just the lads that can make complete fools of themselves at weddings. Woohoo!

 

1. Wedding Crashers (2005)

Excellent montage scene capturing the fun, frolics and feeling of numerous weddings. I could have easily picked out a number of scenes but was struggling to keep it clean with potty mouthed Vince Vaughn andOwen Wilson involved. If you haven’t watched the movie, it’s a must see and my favourite wedding film.


I hope you have enjoyed my list and I look forward to hearing your favourites.

Celebrity Weddings / Russell Brand and Katy Perry’s Divorce

True love?

Russell Brand divorces Katy Perry because ‘he missed single life’

Not so much 7 year itch, more of a 7 week itch.. I bet Russell Brand’s had longer itches he’s had STD doctors prescribe antibiotics for..

I hear Katy perry wrote ‘firework’ about Russell. Ironically fireworks hang around longer!

And then there’s Alex Reid (better known as Jordan’s transvestite ex) marrying Chantelle Houghton (better known as, er, pass).

These two married after ‘an instant connection’ AKA a phone call between their agents. Cynical? What me? Yeah.

Then there’s the flip side; Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas.. He’s not just twice her age, he’s twice her age in dog years; she’ll have to cut his foot off and count the rings to calculate his true age.

But against all of the odds those two are one of the strongest couples in Hollywood and I applaud that.

 

Or happily married?

So I suppose what I’m trying to say is around all the cynicism, PR spin and opportunist sham marriages I believe not all celeb marriages are a ploy.
Love can exist and remain strong even between two ‘celebrity’ A listers ‘Til death do they part’.

Unless Angelina Jolie pouts her erotic lips in the husband’s direction. Then they’re doomed.

Except Michael Douglas. His vision’s not what it was..
