Terrific Tink!

August 2nd, 2010 by Anthea | 5 Comments | Filed in Movies

Here at GP HQ, we loooooove fairies! One of our all time faves is the fabulous Tinker Bell. We’re uber-excited because she’s starring in her very own film, Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue!

In this flick, we meet Tink in the days before Wendy and the Lost Boys. She meets a girl called Lizzy and they become fast friends. Unfortunately Lizzy has a greedy father who wants to take Tink away to a museum! Eeeek! In the scuffle to steal her, Tink’s friend Iridessa gets taken instead. Tink sets off on an epic journey to rescue her friend and save fairy kind!

Check out the trailer here!

It hits cinemas on Thursday, August 5. Yay! Also you can witness the magical moment when Tinker Bell first meets a human, and it’s not who you might think, when Tinker Bell – The Great Fairy Rescue flies onto Disney Blu-Ray and DVD September 15!

We can’t wait for this fab fairy flick! There’s also loads more info on Tink and a guide to all things fairy in this month’s Girl Power. Be sure to check it out!

Marvellous Marmaduke

June 24th, 2010 by Anthea | 13 Comments | Filed in Competition, Movies

Marmaduke is your typical 200 pound teenage Great Dane who stands out anywhere he goes. The family pet of the Winslow’s, Marmaduke has outgrown his cute puppy stage and has become an awkward, gangly, insecure gentle giant who tends to be inadvertently accident-prone due to his gargantuan size.

Always the outcast, he gets a new lease on life when the Winslow’s decide to make a move to the O.C. (Orange County), but when he falls for a hot Afghan Hound named Jezebel, Marmaduke has to take on the dog park to make a place for himself, all the while learning that it’s who you are inside that makes you the top dog.

Watch the trailer then answer the following question:

June 4th, 2010 by Anthea | 7 Comments | Filed in Movies

Hey Girl Powerettes,

Here at GP HQ, we’re huddled inside because it’s really really rainy! One of the best things about this dreary weather is that it’s a perfect excuse for watching movies! Rugged up with a steaming bowl of soup and a DVD… Sounds like a dream day to us!

If you’re tired of your DVD collection, there are LOADS of movies being released real soon! We can’t wait for Shrek Forever After, Toy Story 3, Marmaduke, The Karate Kid… oh and just this teeny tiny film called ECLIPSE!!! You probably haven’t heard of it… We’re going to be such regulars at our local cinema over the next month, they’ll have to set up a special GP VIP area!

We’re really lucky ducks at GP HQ because we get a sneak peek at some fab films before they hit cinemas! So don’t forget to keep checking the mag and the blog for all the exclusive info!

Anyway Girl Powerettes we’d love to know what flicks you are looking forward to so we can seek out some great movie goss, just for YOU! Awww…

Wanna be in the mag? Give us your SUPER sleepover tips!

May 21st, 2010 by Anthea | 19 Comments | Filed in Contribute, The Magazine

Hey girls,

Brrr! It’s been a bit chilly lately at GP HQ! But one of the best things about this wintery weather is it’s a perfect excuse to organise a night in with your besties for a super sleepover! Fab food, flicks and all your gal pals… sounds kinda perfect!

Some of my top tips for a extra special sleepover are…

1. Serve a few healthy snacks as well as some sweet ones. If you all get on a massive sugar high, you’ll crash before the sleepover has barely started!

2. Pick some classic flicks like the gorgeously girly Roman Holiday or the always wonderful Wizard of Oz. Not only are they fab films, your gal pals are less likely to have seen them recently.

3. Get your besties to bring a CD or make a playlist so you get a cool mix of music. Have a dance early on though – you don’t want to wake up the neighbourhood (or your parents!) by blasting the music at midnight. Plus, then you’ll want to wind down and watch some fab flicks.

So girls… care to share YOUR top sleepover tips? Hit the contact us button at the top of our site, or email us at girlpower@next.com.au. Attach a big photo of yourself too and we might feature your smiling self in the mag!

What are you waiting for? We can’t wait to hear from you!

Anthea xx

Movie Madness

February 26th, 2010 by Amy | 12 Comments | Filed in Movies

Psst! Today Mel and I got to sneak out of the office and catch a movie… new flick Alice In Wonderland! You can catch Alice at the movies from March 4 (that’s next Thursday). Want to know what we thought of the movie? Well…

Amy says: “It was a teeny bit scary, especially when Alice was falling down the hole! I loved the scenery and the costumes, and because it was in 3D everything looked so lush and real. I loved Anne Hathaway as the White Queen too!”

Mel says: “OMG! Mia Wasikowska (she played Alice) did really well. And Tim Burton’s vision was amazing!”
