trailer trash - Blue Valentine

I've been a fan of Ryan Gosling since " Michelle Williams since Dawson's & now that the Motion Picture Association of America has slapped it with an NC-17 rating on it. I've been eagerly awaiting any news and the release of this film since it premiered at The Cannes Film Festival in May and has been dubbed as one of the most "utterly devastating completely believable marriage drama[s]," which be unappealing to most people, but I for some reason can't get enough of them.

trailer trash - Black Swan

This film isn't due for release until December 1st, but it's already garnering accolades from The Venice International and The Telluride Film Festival as potential Oscar bait (along with being compared to a modern day Single White Female.) While Darren Aronofsky and Natalie Portman's talents are undeniable, and Aronofsky didn't have to try to hard to coax a brilliant and haunting performance out of her as witnessed in the trailer (posted below;) I am most excited to see Vincent Cassel (French superstar and the baddie from Oceans 12) let loose on the American public. It will also be interesting to see how manically maternal Barbara Hershey will be and if Mila Kunis can top herself from her greatest role as ever.

trailer trash - Green Hornet

French genius Michel Gondry directs Academy Award Winner Christoph Waltz (as a villain yet again,) in a big budget action film starring some guy named Seth Rogen... and it's in 3D. I'm sold!

trailer trash - The Town

I love a good crime drama, especially ones with a cast I know can pull off intense material and I know Ben Affleck (who also directed this movie,) Jeremy Renner (who I praised like mad last summer for the Hurt Locker) and Jon Hamm (a guy I've posted about once or twice) certainly can. If this movie is half as good as Affleck's directorial debut Gone Baby Gone, then it's going to be pretty phenomenal.

Fashion's Night Out

Fashion's Night Out is here again and there are so many events to choose from. I was in Paris last year and opted to see the glamorous Dita Von Teese & Gentry de Paris do an amazing burlesque show at Casino de Paris. This year events are happening across all five boroughs on Friday, September 10th and I'm tempted to see my favorite dynamic duo Jack McCullogh and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, and swing by Opening Ceremony to since it's one of the coolest stores around.

I love this color

Not exactly blush. Not exactly lilac, but certainly lovely.

"Scott Pilgrim Versus The World" Review

Based on the trailers alone for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, I was hesitant about seeing it, though I believed it had a great deal of potential considering Edgar Wright (the brilliant mind behind Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) was directing and the comic it was based on was rad. So I decided to take a chance and see this film the other night and must admit I was blown away by it's high energy and brilliance.

The film follows Scott Pilgrim (played by the King of Awkward Indie Boys Michael Cera) a bass player in Canada, who literally fights for the love of the new girl in town, Ramona Flowers by attempting to defeat her seven evil exes to win her heart. From the pitch perfect casting which included having The Fantastic Four's Human Torch, & Superman play Ramona's exes, to Kieran Culkin as Scott's gay roommate, and the always delightful Anna Kendrick as Scott's younger sister, the performances certainly deliver. There is not a dull moment in the entire film, and can best be described as a live-action graphic novel, that is part vintage video-game/psuedo rock opera or an "action romantic comedy" as Wikipedia described it. But it is so much more than both those descriptions and worth checking out. If you're still hesitant after watching the trailer, take my word for it, it's definitely worth seeing.



My rating: 8.9/10

trailer trash - Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom is an Australian indie crime-drama that was the winner of the World Cinema Jury Prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival (which means it was the best independent film in the world, while Winter's Bone is the best American Film according to Sundance.) I can't wait to check this film out.

trailer trash - Winter's Bone

Winter's Bone heated up at The Sundance Film Festival this year and won the Grand Jury Prize & continued to garner even more buzz during the Cannes Film Festival over newcomer Jennifer Lawrence's performance. This movie may just look like another doom and gloom indie, but I can't wait to check it out.

Please take a moment to Rock the F out to - Arcade Fire's The Suburbs

I have been a fan of Arcade Fire since their debut album Funeral was released in 2005 and fell even more in love with them when Neon Bible was released in 2007 & I always have the most raucous and cathartic experiences at their concerts. Last month they started their international tour at Madison Square Garden in support of their 3rd full length album The Suburbs, which is yet another masterpiece. I've included my favorite tracks below, but I can not emphasize the enough the importance of having this album (and their entire catalog) in your collection. The Suburbs is poignant, stirring and conjures memories of youth without ever being maudlin and still being modern, so do please enjoy.

It's Monday/trailer trash - Salt

I figured with the return of my first legitimate post in a while I'd double up and show Liev some love and supply you with a trailer for "SALT" (which you've probably already seen unless you've been living under a rock.) Now please enjoy Angelina in all her hotness & hopefully this won't be as ridiculous as "Wanted"

Be still my heart... & my wallet

So one of my favorite designers, Proenza Schouler is having a Sample Sale, Wednesday,July 21 & Thursday July 22nd, 2010 from 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM. After finally watching "Confessions of a Shopaholic" I'm nervous of the potential fracas that could occur over some tye-dye glory.
