The Clueless Collection by Wildfox

Calling all Clueless fans! I have absolutely no shame is admitting that I count this 90s time capsule of teen flick mastery as one of my favorite films. And to bring back some memories, clothing brand Wildfox has gone and done some pretty genius marketing by modeling their AW 2013 collection We’re Kids in America…

Screen Testing with Pacino, Brando & De Niro: The Godfathers that almost Never Were

If someone ever admits to having never seen The Godfather (it happens more than you would think), I instantly get dramatic; widening my eyes, dropping my jaw with a gigantic gasp and other over-the-top gestures. It’s obviously a pretty obnoxious reaction but one that I feel is apparently appropriate for describing how I feel about…

Survival through Art? Finally, someone made a Film about what is going on in Detroit

It was once known as the “Paris of the West”, the birthplace of the middle class, one of the fastest growing cities in the world, an industrial utopia. The Detroit we know today is an American city so broke that last year half of the street lights in the city’s sparsely populated communities were…

Time Travel Movie of the Week: That Thing You Do!

One of my favorite things in life is finding someone who hasn’t seen one of my favorite movies of all time. So I’m hoping there are a few of you out there who missed this little-known Tom Hanks film called That Thing You Do. In 1996, when I was about eleven years-old, (yikes, the mid-nighties…

A Boozed-up Bill Murray takes us on a Tour of ‘Moonrise Kingdom’

This is great. Openly-boozy actor Bill Murray takes us through the set of Moonrise Kingdom in a way that only boozy Bill Murray could. Favorite boozy confession: “I had to work with a bunch of scouts and kids. No money can make that right can it?” Check it out… [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K60lcuhwcJs&feature=player_embedded]

RETRO WORKOUT VINYL COVERS

Just a little peak into the absurdities of the fitness industry’s past! “How the Waist was Won” 1982 “More Jazzercise” 1982 “Miss Piggy’s Aerobic Workout” 1982 “Go for it!” 1982 “Aerobics for the Family” 1982 “Fitness in Motion and Relaxation” 1982 …

Today in France, I Learnt About Someone Other than Bridgitte Bardot & Jane Birkin

I know I go on a lot about Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin– if I’m not attempting something feminine and Bardot-iste one day, I’m probably alternating in something boyish and Birkin-esque instead. It has occurred to me however, that living in France, I’m teetering very close to the edge of sounding cliché if I can’t come…

Robert DeNiro’s Taxicab License, 1975

‘While preparing for his role as Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver, De Niro obtained a cab driver’s license, and when on break would pick up a cab and drive around New York for a couple of weeks’ – Wikipedia
