What I'm doing on my night in.

So this is a little piece of hand and machine embroidery that I'm doing tonight, a work in progress. And I'm wearing silver undercoat and black Smash Up Crackle nail polish, both from Models Own. Speaking of which, check out their new Beetlejuice nail polish colours.

They look amazing by themselves but I think they could be a great base for making your own galaxy nails. Plus they're on offer at the moment; buy 3 save £3 or buy 5 and save £7. Bargin.

They were inspired by these guys                                                  not this guy!

I'm listening to: Crystal Necklace by Total Slacker

Film: What's up with Mads Mikkelson's left eye?

While writing my last post about The Three Musketeers 3D I realised that the character Rocheforte played by incredible actor Mads Mikkelson wears an eye patch.

And normally I wouldn't think twice about it, except that I've watched two other films recently where I'm sure his characters have dodgy left eyes...

Yep, his character Le Chiffre in Casino Royal has definitely got something seriously wrong with his left eye because he' got a big old scar over it and blood starts to run out of it at one point during the film!

And lastly he seems to have just gone and lost his eye completely in the film Valhalla Rising, it was probably ripped out in a vicious fight prior to when you first met his character. By the way this film is not for the faint-hearted; he rips some one's guts out at one point!

I'm listening to: Feed My Frankinstein by Alice Cooper (going to see him tonight!!!)

Film review: The Three Musketeers 3D

Right, first of all I would like to make it clear that my boyfriend and I did not go out with the intention of seeing this film. We were looking forward to seeing Midnight in Paris but it was sold out and so it was either  this or Paranormal Activity 3, and having sat through the slowest 87 minutes of my life that was Paranormal Activity, I wasn't massively intrigued. Although having said that, Paranormal Activity 3's directors Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost gave us the compelling Catfish. And considering how tense that was throughout, maybe PA3 is worth a watch on the internet. Maybe.

A well-styled harmless, hammed up bit of fun.

Just thought I'd give a mention to my two favourite actors of the moment, Christoph Walzt and Mads Mikkelson, who both decided to be in this film for some reason?! Plus I think they're both hot!

 

I'm listening to: Might As Well Be On Mars by Alice Cooper (going to see him on his Haloween Night of Fear Tour tommorow!)

Film review: Drive

I just can't stop thinking about this film.

... and Ryan Gosling's jacket of course! I was going to buy a replica for my boyfriend until I found out it would cost me $159.99. I just don't love him that much. Jokes.

I'm listening to: Nightcall by Kavinsky and Lovefoxxx from the incredible soundtrack.

Film review: Melancholia

It was everything The Tree of Life tried (and failed) to be.

Plus Kirsten Dunst's wedding boloro was beautiful:

I'm listening to: The King of Carrot Flowers Pt One by Neutral Milk Hotel

Don't tell me I can't find a link between Dinu Bodiciu and Lord of the Rings?

Take a look at the top right piece... remind you of anything?

the Uruk Hai and their berserker bottom left

See, I'm not crazy, they do look similar, the face completely covered except for the mouth, and the shape of the cresent of the helmet and the full circle of Bodiciu's headpieces.
Done and done.  Thank you very much!

I'm listening to: 'The Sun's Gone Dim and the Sky Turned Black' by Johan Johansson
