A get together to tear it apart

Last night was pretty much perfect - chicken pasta, fresh fruit and Tom Hooper's Damned United were all wonderful choices for a Sunday wind-down with my brother and roomie. Now, it wasn't the most beautiful or scenic of films, but it absolutely lived up to the expectations of being a great football drama and character study.

 Also, I have been very enamoured with Welsh actor Michael Sheen ever since seeing Frost/Nixon last year. I mean, here is an actor who can portray the most intense roles with the depth and girth of the best thesps of his generation, and then - turn around and snatch himself a bite of the delicious cash cow that is "New Moon," without breakin a sweat about perceptions of his legitimacy as a serious actor.  

And he guest-starred on 30 Rock, which is always always a win in my book.

Always look so good

It's Friday! I'm welcoming the weekend with excitement, and wanted to share some stills from last summer's Welsh period piece "The Edge of Love," which starred starred Cillian Murphy, one of my favorite actors. I was finally able to get a hold of a rental copy of it last weekend, and it was a wonderfully appropriate watch for what turned out to be a rainy, lazy Sunday afternoon.

The film also starred (somewhat) justifiably-branded fashionistas Sienna Miller and Kiera Knightley in some rather lovely ensembles that eminate 'vintage meets whimsical summer in the English countryside sixty years ago' flair all over the place.

These shots also make me anxious for a potential sojourn in the Scottish Isles this June. Summer just can't come soon enough.

I really want to steal this amazing 1940s leather jacket (and that lovely man) from  Kiera. I'll plot about it over the weekend.
