Water For Elephants ~~The Movie

I am sure many , many of you have already seen this FILM.

And I say it is a film more than it is a movie.

It is an a visually beautiful & gritty experience.

I didn't see it in the theater when it was first released.

A very close friend told me not to see it 

because there was violence against animals.....

The Violence in this film is something that I have had first hand experience with.

It was unavoidable...putting a horse down from illness.

Yes, that is in the movie.

But.. if I can take it - you can.

In the movie - it's quick.

Not at all what I experienced.

Well 

quite by accident I watched it on HBO and I said to myself

" if this movie gets hairy I can always change channels"

....for me it never did.

I am not a CIRCUS FREAK,

I don't even go to the circus EVER!!!

On last count,

I have watched this movie/FILM a total of 5 times now.

I think I need to own it...!!!

It is the story of a Veterinarian who just graduated Cornell.

{The best Vet School in my limited opinion}

During the DEPRESSION. 

Reese Witherspoon's clothes are fabulous.

&

The camera filters used to make this film have a steady golden aged glow

making the entire film feel gritty, beautiful and AUTHENTIC.

The sets were divine too.

The personal quarters for R.W. on the train were great!!

The train....I love trains

and 

any imagery I have in my head of train travel 

is romantic and elegant.

On a circus train....not so much.

But 

this movie will draw you in and keep you there.

It is a beautiful story,

and 

have no fear...

a happy ending.

If you haven't already seen it.

I suggest you do.

You might feel the same way I do about it, 

and then it will be 'a gift'.

Great movies & films are GIFTS that we can always return to 

and recreate feelings 

and at the same time ESCAPE from the feelings that we need to.

Have you seen Water For Elephants ?

If you have...

what did YOU think?

Have a great Sunday!

BRIDESMAIDS - Clips That I LOVE

I can completely relate to her antics on this plane.



My daughter said; " Mom, don't be offended ...
but she reminds me of you"

More like things you threaten to do-and say under your breath
only Annie Walker does them

Hope you all have a killer weekend...
filled with love and hugs from the people that matter to you.

Cheri, I Am On A Rant !

The Movie

I hope my mom sees this pic. My mom will want to paint it. In fact she painted my grandmother smelling roses in the same way.
This picture of Michelle Pfieffer, walking in a gown across the sand on the shore....is something I might do.... but, I would not look like that !

But how great is the feeling this image evokes ?

In this picture, I get the feeling she might be the sort of woman who throws caution to the wind.

And from the story line , ha ha , I think she does.

The headboard is Art Nouveau, I LOve , LOve LOve. (the railing in the 1st pic is too)
When I go to the movies....50 % of the time I don't care for the film....
But, No Worries....there are always the sets to examine under my mental microscope.

Ladies (and I use the term very loosely - lol )......you know you have to see this film.

Look at the architecture , the cars, the clothes etc, etc !!!!

And let's not forget how close up we can get to inspecting any 'WORK' that Miss Pfeiffer might have had since her last film. I know it is a ' Meow Meow' sort of remark, but hey....this is a minor sin. I am a designer, what do you expect ??? I am allowed, and often it is one of the ONLY PERCS in this business.

And , besides...I am just jealous.

Not to mention , I am pretty good at doing detective work on my computer....maybe I can find out who the plastic surgeon is if 'the work' is any kind of great.
And there is sex.
Look at the cast ! Look at the oriental black lacquered screen !

Do you think you would like to see this ? If you go, don't thank me.

Thank Heather @ Habitually Chic, I got the idea from visiting her.

P.S. sensitive readers, don't go getting all offended about my remark about 'Ladies'.

I say; " Loosen The Bone Wilma !!"

Lighten the heck up.

This blogging stuff is not supposed to feel like a science project.

It should on occasion make ME laugh !!
