I just read about the crazy sultry world of Christa Helm. Someone needs to make a movie about her eccentric life. Read her story on the From the Books of Exlibris blog
and here… The Unsolved Murder of 1970′s Hollywood Starlet Christa Helm

Coraline is far better and darker than most children’s films.  The visuals were completely inspiring and I can’t wait to see it again and again.


from the original book by Neil Gaiman


Coraline and her kitty venture down the rabbit hole.


The mouse circus performance was my favorite part.

Based on a true story, EVERLASTING MOMENTS follows the story of Maria (Maria Heiskanen), who is married to an alcoholic and womanizing dockworker (Mikael Persbrandt). Her husband leaves the worries of family responsibilities entirely to Maria. Her situation is desperate until she meets a camera shop owner (Jesper Christensen) who encourages her to start taking and developing photographs. She soon begins to see the world in new ways that threaten her already perilous situation.

This beautiful movie was so sweet and heartwarming, while presenting an apocalyptic, dark dystopian view of the future. There was hardly any dialogue and many of the scenes and sound design were totally sublime in the most beautiful way. Highly recommended.

This lovely black and white movie was much better than I expected it to be.  It was so exciting to see the first film made by one of my all time favorite photographers Anton Corbjin. Each shot was more gorgeous than the last and the acting was really impressive.  It was so true to life, at times I thought I was watching a documentary.  I can’t wait to see what Corbjin comes up with next.
