Les Misérables Trailer

Hi everyone! Please check out the trailer for "Les Misérables" here! Not only does it look fantastic, but I think we need to bring a LOT of tissues to the theatre. It's going epic, but super emotional.
  

If you don't know already Les Misérables is one of the greatest novels/classics of all time. It's written by the French novelist Victor Hugo. The movie is starring Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne and Helena Bonham Carter. What a cast, huh? Directed by Academy award winning director Tom Hooper for "The king's Speech" this movie definitely looks promising. I'm going to feature this book as Book of the Week closer to its release, and do a detailed analysis/review. So don't forget to read/reread it with me later in the year!

Christophe Willem - Berlin (French Song)

It's amazing how much information you retain from your high school courses! I still remember remember all the movies that we watched in French class! Not too much French music though, except for this song! There's just something so catchy about it! Even though I don't understand all the words, I just love this song! Check it out!
Check out Christophe Willem's other songs on YouTube! He is amazing!

A R Rahman The Great!

What a lot of people don't know about A R Rahman is that he is a HUGE LEGEND in India, well before his stardom to the Oscars. Well before Slumdog Millionaire, this legend had already composed hundreds of amazing music! Hollywood and the outside world is just late to this party. He is one of the greatest music composers of our time! This multi-talented and multi-award winner is an inspiration to all music composers! I'm a huge fan!

Oh yeah, he also worked with famous people himself. This is the London Philharmonic Orchestra playing the imstrumental version of Nahin Saamne from the Hindi movie Taal! This orchestra is fantastic and one the greatest in the world too! Just let the flute, violin and the sitar transport you to a land of greenery, moonsoons, reverence and beauty! Simply brilliant!
