Movie Muse = Where The Wild Things...


"Happiness isn't always the best way to be happy."


Ok, who remembers the drama of sorts that occurred when this movie came out? Raise your hand... because I do! Basically what had happen' was pre release advertisements and an overwhelming amount of excitement from the blog/indie world caused a pit of failure to form in most peoples stomach when they went to finally see Where the Wild things Are in 09. I predicted this! Honestly I did. There's something about too much artificial hype in a movie that can really ruin it for most people. Everyone was making tents and craft and craziness! (Which I secretly loved.) But the movie's plot was very much undercover and it was pretty apparent that people were becoming aggressively excited over a movie that they knew nothing about plot wise. This is a rant...sorry, but it's only because I LOVED this film when I saw it back then and still to this day am on the verge of tears every time I watch it. Point being, don't get too involved with the hype yall! (pimp walks out of the room)

Movie Muse = The Craft


"Relax... it's only magic."



The Craft has always been a teenage angst favorite for me. It's a simple plot, high school outcasts get their deserved revenge on with some witchy wonders The funnest part about this movie though is Fairuza Balk playing crazy Nancy/playing herself/actual insanity. A year from now when Halloween rolls around again, remember this movie!

Movie Muse = The Help


Apron lovers, housewife enthusiast, working girls and secret political feminists unite because this one's for you!


The Help is a funny, uplifting and surprisingly deep film based on the book of the same name written by Kathryn Stockett (a white woman ::scandal:: ) which pretty much portrays the heartbreaks and hassles of black maids in the 60's Mississippi south. You're going to enjoy the characters most! (black and white) There's something about the secrets told and the inside look into every character's life that is going to make you love and hate absolutely everyone. This movie is a gossip girls wet dream. Especially if you love to hear a good story and connect dots in your head when it comes to timeline and hearsay. Plus it's all set in the 60's ....you know I love period movies. Warning: Tears may come and anger may build, but I promise you will laugh out loud the whole time.

Movie Muse = An Education

"Someone told me that in 50 years no one will speak Latin probably. Not even Latin people."


Developed from a screenplay by the genius of a man Nick Hornby (High Fidelity & About a Boy) An Education is a roller coaster of dramatic adventures had by a scholastically educated girl with a secret need for worldly adventure. Love is found, love is lost, parents are confused and yes you do get to see them romp around 60's style Paris. (sigh) Worth a watch, a buy and a fashion post. Not to mention a run over of the soundtrack as well, which is quite quite good.
