A Matter of Loaf and Death

I'm not sure I have to explain my Love of Wallace and Gromit short films. The animation is simply stunning and Wallace's quaint British-isms and obsession with cheese lets you instantly forgive his lapses of judgment. See for youself:

La Vie En Rose

I just finished a cloudy Saturday afternoon in Paris with Edith Piaf. Her voice made me love her and it was hard to watch her slowly destroy herself and her gifts. The imagery, fashion and use of music for telling her life story is exquisite, you wont regret watching La Vie En Rose. The song Non, je ne regrette rien "No, I regret nothing: strongly portrays the fortitude and zest Edith summons up towards the end of her life. Watch her 1961 performance and be amazed!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFRuLFR91e4

High Peril

There will always be a special place in my heart for Saturday mornings. As a kid that mean cartoons and an escape from grueling academics. That's way I was ecstatic this weekend when I relived that feeling through the Republic Serial King of Rocket Men, a series with 12 episodes, 12 cliffhangers and countless fist-brawls between fight-savvy scientist and fedora sporting crooks. The evil dooer, Dr Vulcan is one of the Science Associates members and succeeds in killing off a lot of main characters even with the constant efforts of Rocketman! Spoiler Alert: even as Rocketman fights his final battle New York City still crumbles to the ground, a bitter ending to a terrific Saturday.

Obsession

I make no attempts to hide my obsession for Lady Gaga, I think she's brilliant and constantly pushing the envelope for a performance artist. I am anxiously awaiting the movie depicting the work of Franceso Vezzoli, The Shortest Musical You Will Never See again featuring music by Lady Gaga, Prada fashion and ballet Russes, Italian style. Che fantastico. You can judge for yourself at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW3FIZY4X-I
