The Batman Watch : Catwoman

Alright, you BatHards....new information. It has been released that the latest cast addition to the "Dark Knight Rises," is Anne Hathaway who will play Catwoman. Tom Hardy of "Inception," will play Bane and oh yes, Christian Bale is back as Batman. Also it has been reported that this will be director Christopher Nolan's last go at the franchise.

It seems to be from reports that Warner Bros hasn't really spoken much of Catwoman per se (so everyone could forget about the OTHER catwoman-will not work). Instead, Hathaway will play Selina Kyle basically leading speculators to believe that in this film she will be playing a somewhat origins story.

I think Hathaway definitely has acting chops but can she play the feral feline Catwoman? This is a sexed up role and while Hathaway does have sex appeal it's very earthy and earnest, I'm not sure if she can play a whip-toting dominatrix who keeps cats as her best friends.

We'll see.

Already Janurary?

Happy New Year's Folks!

Hope you had a good one, and Shennantics is back in action, because I'm back "Like I forgot something."

So, where do we begin????

Well since the last time I posted, I saw that heady film trip of a movie, Arofonosky's "Black Swan" starring the very preggers Natalie Portman (it's already generating Golden Globe buzz stay tuned). In a Nutshell, the film was done with a lucid approach, and I don't want to give away too much but Portman's portrayal of a perfectionist-downward spiralling ballerina gave me chills. This is one of those films like the "Virgin Suicides," that sticks with female audiences for a while. Partly due to the fact that, so many women stuggling with body issues and pressure from every angle will find a little bit of themselves in Portman's fatal yet fragile Mina.
