Sweet Bathroom and A Terrible Movie

We see lots of movies and totally love the whole movie experience.  Even a below average movie is usually good enough to make the movie experience worth the money and time spent.  Yesterday's movie experience was abysmal.  If I wasn't *asleep* during this film, I was bored out of my mind and/or totally confused.  Save your money and do not go see Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

Redemption came last night with Downton Abbey!  It did not disappoint.

Enough words -- here's a pretty bathroom:

Have a fantastic Monday!  xo

Premier!

I just really want to see this movie!  I hope my boys will indulge me...

Lookin' Good! Madonna At The Venice Film Festival

 Italian designer Vionnet designed this stunner of a dress for Madonna's appearance  at the 68th Venice Film Festival.

Madonna's premier at the film festival was to promote her directorial début of W.E.

She reportedly said that the film is about a "woman's journey."  I guess she knows a thing or two about that.  

Forget the Design Post I Was Thinking About, I'm Excited to See This Tonight! **UPDATE**

BRIDESMAIDS is finally out!

What are you doing tonight?!

xo

***I laughed so hard I couldn't catch my breath.  And then I got teary at the end.

This is such a great movie; so well done and hilarious!***


 

Movies I Must See

OOOOH!  I love a good movie selection!

Cold where you are? Go see this movie and warm up.

Mark Wahlberg is HOT!

It's a fantastic film, too; triumphant and feel good.  :)

The Fighter

She's Just Stunning

Angelina Jolie:  "The Tourist"

And just wait till you see the interior of their hotel suite in Venice!!  Have you seen the movie? 

will you go?

It was this version I watched over and over when my oldest son was about 4.  He LOVED it!  So did I.

"fashion passes....style remains" - Coco Chanel

Ack!! Audrey Tautou as Coco Chanel! Does it get any better?!

As excited as I was to hear of the upcoming release, a little further reading revealed that this film is not without controversy. Many people are quite offended that so much time and effort has gone into telling the story of a "traitor". Apparently she was quite involved with (i.e. sleeping with) a high-up Nazi during WWII. The War takes place approximately 15 years later than where the film leaves us, but critics are saying that any film, any attention brought to Coco Chanel is wrong.

Coco Avant Chanel is about her rise from an orphanage -- from being a "nobody" -- right to the brink of Chanel as we know it today.

I will probably see the movie because I love period films; women "making it" from humble beginnings; Audrey Tautou; and all things French. Do I celebrate her choices in life? Not at all. I find her choice to sleep with a Nazi despicable.

Am I a hypocrite for buying a ticket to this movie?
