Mad Men, Mad Women
Please forgive me for being slow on the uptake when it comes to television. Blame the Atlantic, but I’ve only recently been able to get my hands on Mad Men… For the past few days I’ve been stuck in bed with the flu, and in my attempts to recuperate, I’ve watched every single episode of [...]
The Beloved B
The A’s are overrated. A-list celebs don’t make reality TV shows or star in B movies, preferring to take their of set careers to the theater. Personally, I have always loved B Movies, especially ones that revolve around shoes, or at least have a pair play a major role in the loosely [...]
Coveting Chinatown, a Visit to 1930’s LA
Sometimes California seems so new, it’s easy to forget that there may be interesting bits of history and stories to tell. In college, I was captivated by Mike Davis’s City of Quartz and James Ellroy’s noir novels, they paint such a rich landscape of a Southern California I always thought to be culturally bankrupt [...]
Great movies I’ve just now noticed
In the spirit of being the last to see great movies…over the weekend, we watched The Science of Sleep the Michael Gondry film (Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind) I have to say it was really a wonderful film to watch… just because it was so genuine in many respects… like you can see [...]
Red Balloon… I’ll catch you one day
Way back, I posted about the film The Red Balloon, a film about balloon that follows a boy around the streets of Paris (I remembered it the other way around). The film was originally released in 1955, It has been re-printed and released this month. In fact, it was playing at a cinema just two [...]
My favorite childhood movie…
The Dark Crystal was one of those movies I couldn’t wait to see. I begged my mom to see it, had dreams about what it was like. Recently, I saw it again, visually it’s really great, even for a movie that’s 25 years old. The puppets are really quirky yet they have a life that [...]
Mid-week Halloween
In my world, going out on a school nite is a good idea, as long as I’m home by 10pm. Holy moly. That’s sad, but I like my morning oatmeal. So if you are a goody two-shoes like me and you want to celebrate Halloween, here are a few options.1. Passing out candy.2. Dressing up, [...]
Pure Candy
Last night, I opted for a relaxing evening in… Rented Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, mostly because I have not seen the movie even though I had pretended to a couple of times, like the time I was at a press preview for Marie Antoinette’s perfume at the de Young. The curator at the Legion [...]
Medea
Lars von Trier’s Medea (Danish, 1988) based on the Greek myth, is one of those films that are so emotionally moving and visually stunning that it’s hard to forget about it. I saw it probably when Dancer in the Dark came out a few years ago, and since then, it’s been kind hanging out [...]
Screen Muse
A few months ago, I was reading Swan Diamond Rose’s post about Seduced & Abandoned a film by Italian director Pietro Germi the stills she picked are just stunning, and so inspirational, it’s probably the post I think about when linking film and fashion. I love film, it’s such a beautiful way [...]
