The story follows the original game with a young street urchin in ancient Persia adopted by the Sultan himself for a show of bravery. The Sultan declares the youth, Dastan, his heir. After a instrument of the gods called “The Sands of Time” falls into the hands of an evil nobleman (played by Academy Award Winner, Ben Kingsley), Nizam, Dastan has to recover the object and restore order to the kingdom. Additionally, there’s a princess and a creepy, leperous looking character that skulks in the shadows on the trailer.

A trailer for the film can be viewed here. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is scheduled for a May 28, 2010 release in the United States.

While no officially licensed Prince of Persia costumes are available just yet, a number of items are available to get the jump on your crafting your own costume. Try picking up a brown chin length wig in a touseled, yet masculine style. Then go for a classic breastplate of armor in a silver or goldtone style with gauntlets and wristlets to wear along with your costume. Of course, you will also need a scimitar — the traditional curved sword favored by ancient Middle Eastern warriors. A Sultan robes and a long, thin mustache and goatee to create a Nizam/evil nobleman costume of your own… Until Disney markets official costumes for the film!

December is usually a month filled with great movies, which offer us some great costumes to choose from for holiday parties. This year is no exception. While the month begins a little slow for costume ideas it soon explodes with a couple of great hits.

The first movie you might be interested in for costumes is called Avatar. Avatar begins with a paraplegic ex-marine war veteran who ends up on a planet called Pandora. Unfortunately he finds himself in the mists of a war with the Na’Vi race in order to save humankind. This latest release is going to be a 3-D Sci-fi epic with top costume ideas. Avatar costumes are already flying off the shelves in the virtual world, so why not put a face to them from the movie. This year for a costume party consider becoming a little blue with an Avatar costume.

December is also bringing back Alvin and the Chipmunks. If you are looking for the perfect holiday costume Alvin just might fit the bill. This year the chipmunk costumes are ready and waiting for your holiday party. You can have Alvin costumes with the red shirt and A or you might choose Simon. Just don’t forget that furry look!

For a more stately costume you have one other idea. Sherlock Holmes starring Robert Downey Jr. is to be released on December 25th. The movie is bringing back the best detective in fictional history from the English writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. So grab your pipe, tweed jacket and get ready!

Charles Schultz left a legacy that will not be forgotten any time soon. His creature of the “Little Round Headed Boy,” and his dog pal have warmed hearts for several generations. Each year ABC brings back Charlie Brown and his pals in the various holiday animated cartoons, which were created.

Last month ‘It’s a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” was played for the Halloween Holiday, and already we have two more holidays lined up to celebrate. Coming soon on television will be Charlie Brown’s animated celebration of Thanksgiving. You might decide breaking out the Pilgrim Costume is the right thing to do, especially if you add a little snoopy costume to the mix. Can you imagine Snoopy dressed like a pilgrim? I sure can!

If that isn’t enough we also have Christmas headed our way. In the Charlie Brown animated classic for Christmas we learn the true meaning of the holiday as Charlie Brown brings home a pitiful little tree for the Christmas Pageant. Not only do you have Snoopy decorating his home with lights and ornaments, you have a Snoopy Costume dressed like Santa to choose from. Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Woodstock, and the whole gang are just waiting for you and your costume party!

Every year there are two times when millions of people head to the movie theatres. Summer is always going to have big box office hits. This is when the students are out of school and looking for something to entertain them. The second time of year is November through December. There are plenty of holidays to share with family and see a movie, and of course in December there is at least one or two weeks where students are out of school.

This year Hollywood has definitely layered on the movies for November. You have several different topics to choose from like the end of the earth, children’s tales, and much more. Coming out November 6th, 2009 is the Box, Disney’s A Christmas Carol, The Fourth Kind, Men Who Stare at Goats, and Precious. The best costumes we can devise out of this set of movies would be from Disney’s A Christmas Carol. You have Scrooge costumes and Tiny Tim Costumes to go for. Although if you truly want to have some fun The Men Who Stare at Goats could offer some great costume ideas. Consider walking around in a goat costume with a sign that says “I’ve been stared to sleep!” Of course you can choose anything really, even having a military costume with a stuffed goat under your arm might be apropos.

The fun will not stop with today either. On November 13th plenty of other movies are to be released. There is 2012, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Pirate Radio, Dare, The Messenger, Oh My God, Uncertainty, and Women in Trouble. The biggest hit for costumes in this lot will be the Fantastic Mr. Fox. He is definitely a perfect Fox costume that offers humanistic qualities. For this you would need a fox costume like a mascot and even a Mrs. Fox.

November 20th, 2009 is what many have been waiting for. Twilight Saga: New Moon will be hitting theatres on this day. Already there have been a few vampires walking around in the last month, and now a plethora of vampire costumes might once again show up. But, Twilight is not the only movie to be offering us something a little fun for an upcoming costume party. Planet 51 brings Aliens of a different look to us. This time humans are again invading Alien lands with voices from The Rock and Jessica Biel adding to the hit. As the month continues we have Ninja Assassin, Old Dogs, and yet another Disney hit. This time children with November 25th birthdays will need a Princess costume and a Frog costume for The Princess and the Frog animated classic. This one has a new spin with it set in New Orleans!

Are you looking for a different costume to wear to your next party? Maybe the recent release of PS 3 game Dragon Age of Origins will offer you some perspective on a costume. Children’s stories have always been ripe with tales of mythical creatures such as Dragons and this new video game brings the concept back.

Dragons are as old as time, having been prominent mythical creatures since the early man. The story of Beowulf was one of the first tales to bring dragons to the forefront and combine it with another type of mythical monster. Many movies and books based on the Middle Ages bring Dragons along for the ride. No matter how you picture Dragons they are always fearsome and powerful animals.

Dragon Age Origins presents a role playing game of Origin in which you will choose how you begin and where your story will move. You will begin with your character in the early ages establishing a clear background and learning skills until you are ready to move about Ferelden and other regions. You can be a sneaky peasant or a skilled knight where jealousy can be found at every turn. In the video game it is possible to be female or male in the roles. Your choices will determine the situations, storyline and conversations you might have with those you encounter.

From a costume perspective Dragon Age Origins brings about the Middle Ages Costumes we love. You can dress up in a Knight Costume or choose to be in a Peasant Costume to honor the video game or just to be a hit at your next costume party. Who knows the next time you have a video game gathering you might just see other Dragon Costumes running around your home!

The video game was just released Tuesday November 3rd, 2009 by EA Games and BioWare Corporation. So get ready for some Medieval Costume fun!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner; well okay it is November 26th, 2009. Still the holiday will be here before you know it and if you are not ready with a costume you might just miss out on all the fun. Who says you have to just dress up in costumes at Halloween. Sure most of the Thanksgiving costumes are worn by children for their school pageants, but that doesn’t mean you cannot have some fun too.

This year instead of the traditional holiday where you wear regular clothes consider spicing it up with some great Thanksgiving costumes. You have the pilgrim costume and the Native American costume, or you could go for something a little more fun.

We ran into a great Thanksgiving Turkey Costume for an infant. This costume is designed as a bunting in which the turkey body fits over the infant and leaves the head sticking out. For adults there are plenty of other ideas such as combing your favorite costume with a Thanksgiving component. If you want to go really grand consider a Mayflower costume. After all you have to get to the party somehow right?

If you are from Colorado like I am you may be a little tired of hearing about the supposed publicity stunt created by the Heene family. A few days ago the news was alive with a boy missing supposedly on a homemade air balloon. Many went out to help search for the missing boy and one person even managed to tackle the balloon in hopes of rescuing the boy. However, Falcon Heene was never in the balloon instead he was in his family home up in the attic.

Little Falcon was on CNN with his family and he let it slip to the media that the event was for “show.” His father supposedly planned the entire event. Colorado news media has suggested that the DA will be bringing charges against the family for the danger they could have caused as well as brining out rescue teams that could have been needed elsewhere. Nothing has been set yet regarding the criminal charges, but one thing has come from this massive hunt for a missing boy.

Balloon Boy Costumes hit the shelves not long after the stunt. A Canadian company has worked tirelessly to create the Balloon Boy costume in time for Halloween a week from Saturday. According to news reports these costumes are certainly flying off the shelves. In fact there may be as many Harry Potter costumes as there are Balloon Boy Costumes as they are so popular.

The ’80s original centered on four Vietnam veterans who were framed for a crime they didn’t commit. They take the show on the road to evade the military police, helping out people along the way as they attempt to clear their names. In the original, Mr. T played B.A. Baracus (”B.A.” for “Bad Attitude”), the A-Team’s mechanic and muscle. George Peppard was Hannibal, the group’s cigar chomping leader who “love it when a plan comes together.” Dwight Schultz was “Howling Mad” Murdoch, the team’s resident loose cannon and Dirk Benedict was Templeton “Faceman” Peck, the group’s prettyboy and master of disguise.

While you gotta pity the fool that steps into Mr. T’s shoes, UFC fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson just may have the mettle, muscle, and humor to bring it to the role of B.A. Baracus. (Anyone doubting Rampage’s sense of humor has to see this past week’s episode of Ultimate Fighter 10.) Rounding out the cast is Liam Neeson as grey-haired Hannibal, Bradley Cooper as Faceman, and Sharlto Copely as Murdoch. Jessica Biel is also part of the cast, although what role she is playing has yet to be confirmed.

The plot sounds about the same as the original series, the only difference being the substitution of the characters being veterans of the first Gulf War as opposed to the Vietnam war. Hopefully, the A-Team van will be a part of the big screen adaptation, too! (Please don’t let Hannibal drive an SUV. Please.) The scheduled release date for the new A-Team is June 11, 2010.

Get a jump on putting together your A-Team costumes for next year. Grab a bunch of gold chains and a mohawk wig (try the Mr. Hammer version!) to pull together your own “Bad Attitude.” Or, for a John “Hannibal” Smith costume try a fake cigar, a short grey men’s wig, and a pair of black leather gloves. Don’t you just love it when a costume comes together?!

Director Louis Leterrier’s remake of Clash of the Titans stars Sam Worthington (Terminator: Salvation’s reluctant human/droid hybrid, Marcus as the hero Perseus and Liam Neeson as Zeus, King of the Gods. A new addition of Hercules as a main player with Ralph Fiennes (no stranger to fantasy films himself as Harry Potter’s arch-nemesis Voldemort) cast in the role of Hades, Lord of the Underworld.

The new version of Clash of the Titans’s description sounds as if it takes a detour from the legend of Perseus from classic mythology. In the film, Perseus’ family is killed by the evil Hades who plans to unleash his domain on Earth and usurp power from Zeus. Perseus attempts to avenge his family and rallies a group of heroes and gods to combat monsters and thwart Hades’ attempts to rule the world.

Although a trailer has yet to be released, there are some still photos floating around of scenes from the film:

Sam Worthington as Perseus with an as-yet-to-be-named creature.

Liam Neeson as Zeus in golden armor

Perseus with his shield of the gods. Speculation is that it’s Medusa’s head in the bag!

Perseus encounters the Graae, the Three Blind Witch Sisters.

Although no photos of the infamous Medusa have surfaced, it has been confirmed that the serpentine she-demon will be in the film. Rumor has it that the design for this creature is something spectacular. Although the plot of Titans seems to have deviated from the original tale, die-hard classics fans would be up in arms with the omission of a key part of the story of Perseus.

As soon as a trailer comes out, we’ll be sure to link to it! In the meantime, start planning your own Grecian themed costumes from a battle-armor bedecked warrior to Zeus himself!
