My Sunday Movie...

As many of you know by know I'm a great fan of Woody Allen movies, so much so our cat is called Woody!

Last night we went to see Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen latest movie and all I can say is that I highly recommend it! The movie plot and the all the cast was outstanding but Cate Blanchett was amazing as Jasmine and I wouldn't be surprised if she is nominated for an oscar for the role.

I love Woody Allens movies as he doesn't need to spend big bucks with special effects, car chasing or violence..just good old fashioned story telling with interesting and complex characters that whisk you away for a good couple of hours to another world.

Having  closed a chapter of Christmas get-together's another opens with Spring and Summer gatherings ahead -I know!!  We are only in February, but is my way to get through this wintery month by dreaming up fun social events at our home with our friends and family . I just came across this image of a gorgeous Summer evening garden cinema party and I just had to share it with you ! I think I might just have to copy it ;-)

My Sunday Movie

Remember sometime ago I used to write about my Sunday afternoon movie ? Well after some of you emailed me asking me about it I thought I'd bring the post again.
Now that Autumn has finally decided to make an appearance it is time to chill at home with a DVD, cup of tea and nice homemade cake or make a trip to the pictures- my Sunday afternoon tradition since I was a kid in Barcelona.
Yesterday I saw the French film ' Little White Lies'.  Written and directed by award winning director of the film ' Tell No One' Guillaume Canet  and boyfriend of the amazing and Oscar winner actress Marion Cotillard.
Every Summer Max ( Francois Cluzet ) hires out a beautiful beach house for his family and friends. But this year the vacation is not so much fun as each guest raises the veil that for years has covered their true feelings. Their relationships and friendships are tested when they are in a difficult situation having to own up to the little white lies they have been telling each other.
I personally really liked it, so if  you don't mind watching a movie with subtitles I recommend you watching the movie.

Back to the Future

I'm loving this photographic project from Argentine photographer Irina Werning where she gets people to reenact photographic images from their childhood!

Have a lovely weekend whatever you are up to-Me I'm going to try and catch some of the Oscars ...I'm for team 'The Social Network' , for best supporting actor Geoffrey Rush ( The Kings Speech) and best actress for Annette Bening in 'The kids Are Alright'. You can see more of the nominations here ..who are your favourties?

Cupcakes For Tea?

As some of you might know by now I love the English tradition of an afternoon cup of tea and cake, although I think this is a more visual feast and a time to catch up with friends than anything else!

This week I was thrilled when I had a request from a client to shoot cupcakes; I've spent all weekend taking hundreds of images of these lovely cakes I bought from a very talented lady that makes them, Vanilla Rose Cakes- it has been a difficult task not to fall into the temptation to have one or two!!

Having finished my task we are off to see our afternoon Sunday movie, The King's Speech.

I hope your weekend is a good one so far :-)

My Sunday Movie...

As seasons change so does ones habits...no more summer days enjoying the outdoors so back to my Sunday afternoon movie routine...My movie choice was Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. An indie movie set in New York that takes you through Nick an Norah's night journey in a quest to find the secret gig of their favourite band and end up finding each other. I didn't know what to expect but loved it so much that it was like seeing so many flashbacks of my teenage nights when so many things go wrong and crazy things happen! I recommend it to those that want to go back in time for an hour an a half an reminiscence of those good, uncomplicated, carefree & fun days ;-)

My Sunday Movie...

As some of you might know by now, when possible I try and stick to my Sunday afternoon plan and catch up with the magic world of the movies. Whether it is on DVD or cinema, preferably the later one...Sundays is a must!
Yesterday I finally managed to see Vicky Cristina Barcelona, set in one of my three hometowns, by one of my ultimate favourite film directors-yes I know!...I have mentioned him before, good old Woody Allen. A charming movie with great cinamatographic backdrop and its complex characters a la Woody style. Vicky Cristina Barcelona is the best movie Woody Allen has made in years. Although 2006's Match Point was just as brilliant. If you are a fan give this one a try...

Oscar Congrats 2 Sean Penn!

I'm so pleased that Sean Penn won an Oscar for best actor. I loved his portrayal of Harvey Milk as I mentioned in my previous post here.

My Sunday Movie...

Having been busy with xmas and Top Drawer show I haven't been able to get back into my Sunday afternoon routine of catching a movie. As some of you may know, that afternoon is sacred for me! Thankfully yesterday I managed to go to the cinema and see Milk. The true story of Harvey Milk that changed history with his courage and determination to fight for human rights. In 1977, Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay man to be voted into public office in America. He not only fought for gay rights but for senior citizens to union workers. Sadly he was assassinated in 1978 but remained a hero for all Americans...I loved this movie and has now given me a better understanding of San Francisco culture.Sean Penn absolutely brilliant acting deserves, in my opinion the Oscar that he has been nominated for! I highly recommend this movie to any of you that may be considering to see it...enjoy and happy Monday !

My Sunday Movie...

Hoping you all had a fabulous weekend I'm back to my regular posting of Sunday Movie. Contrary to my personal choice we decided to watch Oxford Murders. Matt had read the book and raved on about it, so I got convinced. Written by fellow Argentine, Guillermo Martinez. Set in Oxford University, a professor and a grad student work together to try and stop a potential series of murders seemingly linked by mathematical symbols. Unfortunately the movie was not as good as the book having gone straight to DVD missing the cinema showings. I personally thought the performance by Elijah Wood was pretty poor and not convincing, although John Hurt as always a great actor. I agree with the reviews , although not a film critic myself but I can't personally recommend you this one :-(
