The silver screen is jam packed with new releases this month, most notably Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, The Bounty Hunter and Hot Tub Time Machine. JenniferAniston08TIFF

The Bounty Hunter is due for release on the 19th this month; it’s an action rom-com that leads bounty hunter, Gerard Butler to track down his bail-hoppping ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston. All is not so simple though, as they continually strive to ‘up’ one another and end up running for their lives!  A must-see movie this month which caters for the guys as well as the girls.

Alice in Wonderland

The eagerly awaited Alice in Wonderland is released on the 5th! Tim Burton’s adaptation of the classic stars Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter and Alan Rickman to name but a few of it’s glittering cast. I for one can’t wait to grab an XXL tub of popcorn (which will probably be finished before the trailers end!) and take in Burton’s eccentric and stunning characters and visual effects.

March Movies not to miss:

Green Zone, She’s Out Of My League, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, How To Train Your Dragon, Crazy Heart, The Bounty Hunter, Shutter Island, I Love You Phillip Morris, Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang and The Blind Side.

 

March is also celebrating film by the 82nd Annual Academy Awards (The Oscars to you and me!) Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will be presenting the awards where 50 Oscar statuettes will be given out to the winners of 24 competitive categories. So who will be walking out with one of ‘those’ awards? Mr. Clooney? The UK’s own Dame Mirren? Matt Damon? The bets are on!

Valentine’s Day TV to fall in love with…

by Ayla on February 9th 2010 at 1:49 pm

rose

According to the Beatles, ‘All you need is love’ but come February 14th you may find your sweetheart is looking for a little something more. So you’ve got the standard card and chocolates, perhaps you’ve planned a romantic meal, but how to set the mood? Well that’s where our love of TV comes in! LocateTV has poured our hearts into your Valentine’s weekend viewing and has picked out our top 10 movies and shows airing this holiday for the loved up and the loveless. Pucker up for some sexy TV…

 

 

 

Meg Ryan Photo

1. French Kiss is a rom-com starring Meg Ryan and Kevin Klein. After Kate’s (Ryan) heart is broken when her fiance leaves her for someone else, she goes on a trip across France with an unlikely stranger to win back her man, not realising she is falling for someone else instead. Get ready for some French kissing!

 

 

 Cameron Diaz Photo

2. The Holiday is a great pick-me-up for all those women who are down in their luck in the love department. After suffering heartbreak, Amanda (Cameron Diaz) and Iris (Kate Winslet) agree to swap houses (that are on either sides of the pond). Both have a second chance at love in their respective new homes courtesy of Jude Law and Jack Black.

 

 

 

 

3. Sextistics: Your Love Life is a guide on how to maintain a healthy relationship with your partner, or how to find your one true love if you’re single. The statistics include divorce rates, number of sexual partners and orgasms. Oooh la la!

 Paul Rudd Photo

 

4. I Love You, Man – bromance starring Jason Segel and Paul Rudd. For all the heterosexual dudes out there who want that special bond, you may want to take some tips from these guys. Rudd plays Peter, a newly engaged man who realises he actually has no male friends and is on the hunt for a best man.

 

 

5. Tiger Wood’s sordid love affairs shocked the world in December last year, with countless women coming forward saying they have slept with the world’s No.1 golfer. The life he did away from has been made into a documentary entitled The Secret Life of Tiger Woods. I wonder who he will be sharing Saint Valentine’s Day with…

 

 

Pillow Talk, Doris Day, Rock Hudson, 1959 Giclee Print6. Romantic comedy from 1959, starring Doris Day and Rock Hudson. Pillow Talk (no it’s not THAT kind of pillow talk!) is about two individuals sharing the use of a phone line and disagreeing on who gets to use it when. Doesn’t sound romantic huh? It’s a classic example of a love-to-hate relationship where love ultimately prevails.

 

 

 

 

7. February 14th is not everyone’s favourite time of the year. Love is all around and for some people it makes them feel nauseous. If you’d rather see the red of blood instead of red hearts and roses, the anti-Valentine horror flick, Valentine is right up your street. Starring Denise Richards and David Boreanaz.

8.  Mr & Mrs Smith. The chemistry and sexual tension between the stars of this rom-com is undeniable, making it one sexy movie full of action, love and well, assassination attempts! Sounds like a normal couple to me! Unconventional rom-com starring the famous couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

 

 

9. Do you dream of having a white wedding with that special person who is cuddled up on the sofa next to you? Need some inspiration or want to drop a huge hint? Platinum Weddings follows couples as they plan extravagant weddings. It’s the ultimate reality show marathon for the budding bride-to-be.

 

 

10. OK so here is our last choice. For those love birds and singletons out there who want to watch their favourite medical drama, check out Grey’s Anatomy with the episode entitled Valentine’s Day Massacre.

 

Ah amore! Get reminders for these and much more this Valentine’s Day at LocateTV!

 

LOVE, Ayla & Susie

New seasons, new series and new movie releases for the USA!

It’s the month of love and here at LocateTV we want you to love your screens this February. There’s plenty of hellos and plenty of goodbyes this month as we see a few series come and go as well as some new releases….

The appropriately titled movie Valentine’s Day is released in theatres on the 12th of this month. The film stars a plethora of your favourite on-screen heroes including Jessica Biel, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner, Patrick Dempsey, Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher and many more. The stars portray individual stories of the heart and I image it’s quite Love Actually – esque in this respect. The American rom-com is a definite cinematic treat for those girls wishing for a romantic movie through a smile to see this Feb 14th!

Fab Feb Movies:

From Paris With Love, Frozen, Dear John, The Wolf Man, My Name Is Khan, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, The Crazies, Shutter Island, The Ghost Writer, Cop Out.

This month sees a new series emerge: Past Life. The new drama will be broadcast on Fox and starts Tuesday 11th 9/8c. Its premise has been quoted as a ‘fast-paced emotional thrill ride’ as it sees past-life detectives Kelli Giddish and Nicholas Bishop investigating their client’s lives in relation to their previous life.

Fall in love with your old favourites again as there’s plenty of brand new seasons beginning this month. Lost begins its 6th and final season on ABC and has been said to boast a ‘shocking finale’ one to ‘give Lost a proper creative conclusion.’ Tune in this month and get lost in the electrifying adventure for the last time.

New Seasons:

Survivor, The Amazing Race, Real Time with Bill Maher, The Sarah Silverman Show

Our hearts will be broken this month as we say goodbye to some of our beloved TV series. I’m sure these series will not go out burning and not fading… The Heroes season 4 finale will air on NBC Feb 8th, named ‘Brave New World’ and we’ll be waving goodbye to Leverage’s second season February 17th on TNT. We’ve also heard about the axing of Ugly Betty this month – one more season to go and that will be the end of Betty.

Don’t forget to check out this months biggest sporting events The Winter Olympics and the Superbowl are top favourites this month.

Enjoy February America,

Steph.W.
