Can you believe that this gorgeous beach shoot was done in early December. That is the beauty of Southern California. 80 degrees at the beach a few weeks from Christmas. Love it! As you know I have been doing some wardrobe styling in my spare time (HA HA) as if I have much of that, but it is more of a pleasure than a task for me. This latest shoot wasn’t really planned out months in advance, it just sort of came together. The video here is just one set of photos and one model, we actually had two models and about 10 looks. What a great day. More to come!
We all met in the morning at Bluff Park in Long Beach, Ca and took over an area of the grass and started make up, hair and I opened the back of my SUV and started sorting wardrobe – we must have looked sort of crazy, but I was really looking to capture a chic/bohemian look as the main focus and then we threw in some MOD and Sexy Glam too… I am very happy with the results!
Whoop Whoop! Support Indie Film Makers! So you are always complaining that there are no real Indie Films anyway.. that Sundance is littered with professionals who bogart all the funds and awards and that no one can get their foot in the door. So help out! I follow this guy on twitter (@TravisLegge) and he has just started work on his first feature length film called Raymond Did It. It is a slasher film in the tradition of Halloween and Prom Night. YAY HORROR! Read the full story
I was just thinking today about how you can work very hard to get somewhere you never wanted to be… a place in life that really doesn’t suit you.. although you are successfully placed… you are not fulfilled…
Maybe this is what Mary meant when she thought about returning to her former Gothic Girl Self… I don’t know.. I often think lately about the me that would spend days at a time building sets, finding props and casting parts, writing scripts and shooting scenes.. Read the full story
There really is no such man as John Cusack… ok.. perhaps there is a John Cusack, but there aren’t any men like those he portrays in film…
I wouldn’t still be single by choice if there were…
The way he comes across, even when he’s playing sort of an ass, is sparkling and charming and multi-layered… like someone you’d want to spend time with at a coffee shop just talking… ah well… if music be the food of love, play on…
One of the funniest films I have seen in a long time. It you love British Humor, you have to see this film. If you don’t, you still need to see it. Great comic timing. Although it is from the director of Bowfinger, the film is very british while Bowfinger was decidely american, however they share the same mixture of subtle and over the top comedy that makes a film really enjoyable. Just when you are beginning to recover from a giggle you are taken by an outright knee slapping laugh. Nice ride!
Basically the film is about two brothers who deal with a number of hilarious distractions at their fathers funeral. Everything from his gay lover showing up to a drugged up funeral attendee naked on the roof.
You can wait to DVD if its not playing near you, but please DO SEE THIS FILM!
This little movie was a guilty pleasure. I am a Queen Latifah fan – there is just something very real and solid about the way she plays all her characters. She has a level of confidence that trancends the screen. Of course Diane Keaton is always a riot. I love her classic head shaking, hand flailing, squealing hysterics. Alway funny. A surprise to me, was Katie Holmes, playing a totally whacked out, but likable bimbo. You cannot help but like her in this film – she is just too cute. Great job on her part and I am personally glad to see her out of the house – Tom is freaky!
Anyway, if you just want to have flat out silly fun and are in a light hearted mood, Mad Money is sweet, simple, clean and friendly.
The basic storyline: A mature couple faces debt and possible financial ruin when after a year of looking for a new job, the husband (Ted Danson) finally admits he just cant find anything and they are now flat broke. His wife (Diane K) takes the reigns, but all she can find that matches her skills is a janitorial job in the Federal reserve bank where she quickly hatches a scheme to rob the place. After noticing they use locks just like the ones you get at any Home Depot on the carts that carry “Worn out” money that is to be shredded, she drags Queen L into the scheme and later entices Katie H as well. From there its a fun romp through the robbing, almost getting caught, more drama… finally getting caught and then … well, you’ll see..
I absolutely fell in love with this movie. Amelie is still my favorite film, but this is a close second… i loved every moment…
20 delicious morsels of film each by a different film-maker served up with a distinct french cinematic flavor.. for those of you who have been to Paris, it will confirm your feelings, for those who have not, it will make you want to live it… each piece gives you a new emotion, a new section of the city, a new scenario … I really do Je’Taime Paris!
Been thinking about this movie lately. What if someone came into your life, seemed harmless enough, little by little began to emulate you in subtle ways… that got less subtle as time went on… and before you knew it, you were vanishing into thin air in the wake of a cracked mirror image? perhaps you dont know what i mean.. but it can happen.. why are there so many Mayra’s in the world??? I ask you!
Paris When It Sizzles is a horrible film starring two of my favorite actors, Audrey Hepburn & William Holden. It is just playing in the background of my life right now. It really sucks terribly. The movie, not my life.
Did you know that William Holden was in love with Audrey, and she was mad for him – but alas he had himself snipped before he met her – and she wanted children… so she had to dump his fine behind… but he remained ever vigiliant in his seeking after her… even as a married man, she wrote that he would make improper advances any time they were alone…
Poor Bill… snipped himself right out of her life…
Every time i look up – the film is cheesier than the frame before…
How do actors read scripts like this and say “I’ll DO It!”
They must have wanted to work together again most desperately…
