'Delicious' Trailer 2014
I just found this trailer & it has become my mission to track down this movie! It looks really good.
The synopsis of the film Delicious I found from it's facebook page says it's "A bittersweet, darkly comic romance by Tammy Riley-Smith. A British independent feature film." About "A troubled commis chef [Nico Rogner]compels a lonely girl [played by the lovely Lou Brealey] to eat and appreciate good food again, whereupon they both realize the missing ingredients of their lives."

How The Desolation of Smaug Should Have Ended
Now I am not saying that I disliked seeing The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug because I'm not. I really liked the movie. It was darker--as expected--funnier in some ways, told more of the story and it covered a lot. And although I found Thorin really annoying like twenty minutes into the film and then through out the entire film. Gandalf left me feeling disappointed because by the end of the film, if anyone hasn't seen it, we all realize that none of his powers of moves will be as 'epic' or as 'cool' as we think they will because he is still Gandalf the Grey and only Gandalf the White holds a solid threat.
Loved Aidan Turner--as per usual, I honestly do love him--as Kili and the little puppy love they put into the film between him and Evangaline Lilly as Tauriel. Not as good as Arwen & Aragorn of course but a really nice close second place.
And I was super disappointed that we didn't actually see any 'desolation' of or from Smaug for that matter. Where the film leaves us we hardly get the chance to really see some desolation, fire? Yes, but not desoloation. It seemed and felt like the desolation was being set up for the third film.
Loved hearing some of the lyrics for "I see Fire,' by Ed Sheeran in the film that was really nice and it's a great song. He is very talented. Then again after listening to that song like a million times maybe I put too much anticipation and expectation into the film, Doctor Who knows.....did you see what I did there? No? Not good/funny?
Well anyway I loved that I found this video because it touched on everything I was feeling and thought about the movie more or less and it's funny. How can you beat that right? ^___^
This is Gallifrey (slowed down by 25% and pitch lowered by 25%)
This remixed version of 'This is Gallifrey.' Is fantastic!! I have it on repeat.

Saw a Wilson fan video with this song & I had to check them out. ^___^

Beauty- Directed by Rino Stefano Tagliafierro
This stunning and captivation short film was directed and edited by the Italian experimental animator Rino Stefano Tagliafierro. I have been to his website and checked out other pieces of his and I must say his work is very addictive to watch. It is never boring and, in my opinion, you will not learn or see the underlined meanings or symbolism with in his work. Below is the film's manifesto if you will by Giuliano Cori but before I get to that I wrote a little bit on what 'Beauty' meant to me as I was watching and a little bit on the message it holds.
Mr. Tagliafierro brings to life the frozen moments in time captured with in the paintings and tells a cohesive, well structured and believably connected story with one hundred and seven-teen different paintings from what I was able to count. Through the work of his CGI and digital construction Beauty dose not seem or feel as if the viewer is looking at painting but actual people who are at times looking back at you as the piece goes on. I loved the movement from life, happiness, innocence, to passion, desire, fear, anger, chaos and death. With the ties to religion, politics, war and science "Beauty' flawlessly accomplishes summing up the characteristics and history of humanity. The title 'Beauty' is thus not only represented within the paintings of the short film but in the story it tells about our past and about society. I know that I am still not doing this phenomenal piece any justice which is why I have also put in the Manifesto for 'Beauty.'
«Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion’s paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger’s jaws,
And burn the long-lived phoenix in her blood;»
(W. Shakespeare, Sonnet no. 19)
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger’s jaws,
And burn the long-lived phoenix in her blood;»
(W. Shakespeare, Sonnet no. 19)
"Over Beauty, there has always hung the cloud of destiny and all-devouring time.
Beauty has been invoked, re-figured and described since antiquity as a fleeting moment of happiness and the inexhaustible fullness of life, doomed from the start to a redemptive yet tragic end.
In this interpretation by Rino Stefano Tagliafierro, this beauty is brought back to the expressive force of gestures that he springs from the immobility of canvas, animating a sentiment lost to the fixedness masterpieces.
Its as though these images which the history of art has consigned to us as frozen movement can today come back to life thanks to the fire of digital invention.
A series of well selected images from the tradition of pictorial beauty are appropriated, (from the renaissance to the symbolism of the late 1800s, through Mannerism, Pastoralism, Romanticism and Neo-classicism) with the intention of retracing the sentiment beneath the veil of appearance.
An inspiration that returns to us the sense of one fallen, and the existential brevity that the author interprets as tragic dignity, with an unenchanted eye able to capture the profoundest sense of the image.
Beauty in this interpretation is the silent companion of Life , inexorably leading from the smile of the baby, through erotic ecstasies to the grimaces of pain that close a cycle destined to repeat ad infinitum.
They are, from the inception of a romantic sunrise in which big black birds fly to the final sunset beyond gothic ruins that complete the piece, a work of fleeting time.

Sherlock Series 3: Episode One: The Empty Hearse
To all my Sherlock-fan family out there from all over the world I know that some of us may not have seen the first episode of Series 3 so I will try my very best not to spoil anything with this blog post.
And as it is not so much of a review as a reaction post I just want to share my thoughts with the rest of you seeing as the last episode for series 3 will air tomorrow (oh be still my aching and anxious heart.)
From each character stand point Shelock's Empty Hearse episode was, in my opinion, an episode filled with a representationment (is that even a word?) of all the fans feelings, reactions, the theories, dream and expectations all wrapped up together quite nicely. And with out giving too much away I want to emphasis again feelings and theories here.
And it was very comical throughout out with Anderson's theories and his act as the vessel for all the Sherlock fans which was awesome! The episode showed relationship development and growth as everyone tired to move on without Sherlock. I think all the fans can agree that we like Marry in Johns life, who happens to be Martin's actual wife, Amanda Abbington, which makes it even cuter to see the two of them together or at least I think so.
She seems like a perfect fit for him (and not just on screen.) When I come back to talk about episode 2 I'll have more to say about the lovely Marry.
And I think we can also, or will all agree that Molly and Sherlock's 'day of cases/mysteries'
Was on some level Sherlock's way of bonding/a date as well as his way of
as he said saying thank you to her and is that a hint of admiration for
her we see in his eyes?
Love that with Molly we still see the love for him there but also a bit of strength like we saw in series 2 episode 3 with her and Sherlock in the lab, you know the bit.
"You look sad when you think he can't see you."
"But you can see me"
"I don't count."
Because, and this is just in my opinion again, that she knows him very well and it was the first time Sherlock seemed to realize that she did and he was thrown off guard and completely surprised which as we all know dose not happen very often and in my opinion Sherlock found it attractive, new and unfamiliar.
Oh and did I mention the cameo of Sharron Rooney ???
The lovely actress and comedian who stars in My Mad Fat Diary?!! Series 2 premieres next month and I am soo excited for it as well. Okay I have gone on a bit here and I wanted to make this a brief one. But before I go I've put in a few caps below to peak you're interests a bit more ^__^
