do you watched duel in the sun?

Yes, I have seen the movie. And I liked it. I have also posted that movie on this blog before. Actually, not that long ago...you’ll find a post that I did of Greg’s character Lewt. I do feel that people were too harsh on the movie when it first came out. The movie isn’t the best but to me it isn’t the worst in his filmography. I found the movie to be more funny than serious. Greg’s character, Lewt was hilarious to me. He was a jerk but he was so funny. Maybe I found it comical because I didn’t take Greg for a real villain...It just felt to me like he was playing around the whole movie. I really liked that too..I like the thought of Greg having fun while filming! :)

do you watched cape fear (1991)

Yes! I have seen the Cape Fear remake. And I really loved it! I love how it’s more realistic than the original film in the 60s. I also love that the 90′s remake is more raw. I live for Robert De Niro’s Max Cady! He was crazy excellent! I’m also in love with how Martin Scorsese twist and turned the original plot and switched characters. For Ex. Greg, who was Sam Bowden (protagonist) in the original Cape Fear, in the remake actually helps Max Cady. And Robert Mitchum who was Max Cady (antagonist) helps Sam Bowden. I just thought the plot, even though it was a remake, was so original. It’s like Martin revived the whole movie by making it more relatable and more current. I usually don’t go for remakes but I thought this one was actually better than the original. It’s just something about the 90′s version that makes it stand out more. Maybe it’s the cast, I’m not sure…But I can say that the remake you can watch over and over again and never get tired. I found the original to be the “same old plot”. The original felt more like a “PG-13″ cat and mouse game to me. Once again, we have Greg as the good guy and we have Robert Mitchum as a creep. Don’t get me wrong, I respect both actors for the legends that they are. But still, they were playing characters that they’re both known to play. Even though I believe the story line in the original Cape Fear is great, I just feel like it could’ve been executed a little better. This might even come off a bit unfair since there was censorship in the 60′s and we have a ratings system now. Certain things were not allowed in theaters at the time the original Cape Fear was made, so you had to use your imagination and make inferences. So, in all fairness, they did the best they could with what they had.

Thanks for the question!

hey there! love your blog, just wondering if you know of any safe and secure photoshop downloads that i could use? because i'm really wanting to make gifs, but i can't find anything that is as good quality as the photoshopped gifs. any advice would be great, thanks a lot!

Hello! Thank you so much for the compliment. I use Photoshop CC for my gifs and I use Photoshop CS5 for all my other edits. I downloaded both of my photoshops several years ago. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the exact same tutorial I used, I downloaded my Photoshop CC way back in December 2015. Here’s a download of photoshop CC that I liked several months ago: http://completeresources.tumblr.com/post/150051523119/ciaracoloring-hello-this-is-adobe-photoshop Its not the same download that I used from 2015, but I think this should help. When I downloaded my photoshop, I had to crack it...So hopefully you won’t have to do the same. :)

Here’s another link for all kinds of different photoshop downloads: http://completeresources.tumblr.com/tagged/photoshop+download

I really hope this helps you out!

Pearl Chavez is my girl, and she'll always be my girl just as long as I want her to be.

“Gregory Peck is the most authentic actor of our time… Because he was willing to fight the studio executives when they didn’t want to take the risk, we have Gentlemen’s Agreement and its landmark exposure to anti-Semitism. Only because he wanted to play the part did they make To Kill A Mockingbird. Dearest Greg, to your generosity, I owe my career. For your courage and integrity, you have my deepest respect. For your friendship, your goodness, and your humor, you have all my love.”  -Audrey Hepburn

I realize now how very short life is, because I've got to be considered to be in the home stretch. But I won't waste time on recriminations and regrets. And the same goes for my shortcomings and my own failures.

Happy Birthday, Audrey Kathleen Hepburn! ( May 4, 1929 - January 20, 1993 )

Gregory Peck: She was scintillating in that first film, and was never anything less in Sabrina, Charade, Funny Face, Love in the Afternoon, My Fair Lady – in all those films she made with those other fellows. I think of Audrey as a “spunky lady”, as funny as she is beautiful, one of a rare breed in the tradition of Irene Dunne, Katharine Hepburn, Myrna Loy, Carole Lombard and Jean Arthur. However, “regal” is the best one word description of Audrey on the screen. She is is, was and will always be the most regal of screen actresses. There will never be a sequel to Roman Holiday, but without a doubt, the Princess went on to become a Queen.
