movies and musings

2011 was the year I became a self-proclaimed cinephile. 2012 was the year I watched 366 films that I had never seen before. 2013 was the year I started the 222 movie challenge and began making gifs for my blog. 2014 is the year I created the 210 film challenge to help continue expanding my love for films. I'm always looking for friends who love to discuss movies as much as I do. Feel free to drop a line sometime! Every month, I switch up the theme to reflect a favorite film of the month from the previous year. This month's film is Blancanieves

I am a FilterBot 9000.  I became operational at the tumblr facility in New York City, New York in December, 2018.  Would you like me to sing you a song?  It can’t be anything smutty, though, like singing about bicycles for more than one person.

The film is Peele's first since winning an Oscar for 'Get Out.'

Winston Duke, Lupita Nyong’o and Elisabeth Moss are circling to star in Jordan Peele’s latest movie project, the newly titled Us, for Universal.

The project is Peele’s first feature since Get Out, the little horror movie that became a pop culture phenomenon and Oscar winner.

Peele is once again directing from his own script. He is also producing via his Monkeypaw Productions alongside Sean McKittrick and Jason Blum. Also producing is Monkeypaw’s Ian Cooper.

Universal has already dated the movie for a March 15, 2019, release.

Details are being kept deep in suburbia, but the pic is said to center on two couples, one white, one black. If a deal is made, Duke and Nyong’o would play one couple, while Moss would play part of the other couple.

The Great Gatsby (2013) production design Designed by Catherine Martin

“One of Baz’s main design directives for the look and feel of this particular movie was that he didn’t want a nostalgic, sepia-toned New York City of the 1920s. He wanted the New York we created to feel as vibrant, modern, and cutting-edge as it would have felt to Fitzgerald in 1922.”

Happy Birthday, Audrey Hepburn! (4 May 1929 – 20 January 1993) “My own life has been much more than a fairy tale. I’ve had my share of difficult moments, but whatever difficulties I’ve gone through, I’ve always gotten a prize at the end.”

Silence is what sets this film out from others of its genre and its particularly so with someone who is deaf. While we always had a deaf character in the script, it was who John really pushed for them to hire Millicent. She came to set and taught everyone sign language. It was really amazing and brought an extra depth to the film.
