Easy Virtue

 

Easy Virtue is one of those movies that went completely unnoticed for me; one day out of inspiration I decided to give it a shot! Mainly because I was curious to catch a glimpse of Jessica Biel as a blonde, I have never been the kind of person to pay attention to celebrity but I guess on that day, I felt a different way! Not only did I love her hairstyle, but she sports a perfect wardrobe! Lets not forget that Colin Firth is part of the main acting crew, kudos for that! The movie is about a tomboy American girl going on a weekend trip to her new British husband's parents estate and was enjoyable to watch. Yes true, it is a theatrical movie, sometimes overacted for the purpose of the theme, but overall it easily gets a seal of approval from me!

  

Man On Wire

It is time to introduce you to one of my favorite movies, many of you might already have seen the masterpiece but maybe for some of you it went unnoticed in your area. Let me introduce you to Philippe Petit, funambule, master of the high-wire walk! Contrary toCoco, Philippe always knew what his destiny would be, including many major stunts between the towers of Notre Dame De Paris, on the Sydney Harbor Bridge, and the Eiffel Tower. At the age of 19, he decided that he would attempt to walk in between the yet to be constructed and not forgotten Twin Towers. The movie takes you on his sometimes comical, sometimes fearful, sometimes extraordinary journey to his grandiose "Coup de funambule". Simply Breathtaking!

Dear Grey Gardens

Oh my dear Grey Gardens, maybe one day I can visit you. For the meantime, I will continue looking at every house that you resemble and compliment them by calling them by your name.

 

How many time did Grey Gardens, the 1975 documentary film by Albert and David Maysles played in the background on the tv in my home? Probably too many, but how can we get enough. That is why back in April 2009, when the new HBO Grey Gardens movie by Michael Sucsy starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange as Big and Little Eddie Bouvier Beale came out I was ecstatic. I surely had high expectations and the movie did not disappoint!

If you are not familiar with Miss Edith Bouvier Beale "Little Edie" and her dear mother Edith Bouvier Beale "Big Edie" (cousin and aunt of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis), I would suggest to watch the HBO movie ASAP. You will witness the complex story that surrounded this high society family, victim of a massive downfall, and  the twisted relationship between a recluse mother and daughter.
