Night Catches Us

Today at work we discovered:

I was born when The Little Mermaid came out in theaters.

Everyone else in the office I work at was between the ages of 9 and 15. 

I was 6 when Toy Story came out in theaters.

Everyone else in the office I work at was between the ages of 16 and 20.

(Not to age them or anything…)

Finding Nemo makes me cry.

Everytime!

Viola Davis was robbed…

AGAIN!

I don’t know if any of you saw “Doubt” back in 2008, but Viola stolen the show. In that movie she truly out shined her co-star, Meryl Streep.

The Reel Mix-tape: To End Valentine’s Day

What a lovely valentines day. Of course, I had to work. But I really enjoyed watching all the old couples come in and being able to give out free chocolate. 

Here are a few of my favorite romantic movies. I am a huge movie buff so I don’t need to be in love or with someone to enjoy these movies. Heck, I just love movies!

Please enjoy and I hope you end your night well with one of these films:

5. Poetic Justice

Janet Jackson and Tu Pac; need I say anymore?

4. Raising Arizona

To get to the heart, you must past the funny bone.

3. Roman Holiday

Great movie to watch with a third wheel.

2. Up

I mean who doesn’t love grumpy old people and talking dogs. Not to mention the coolest little kid ever.

1. Casablanca

My all time favorite film.

The Reel Mix-tape: See, create, make.

Work can be draining. Even when it’s something you like. And being an artists who has a “day job” work can be extremely draining. So where can someone find that extra bit of inspiration that tiny kick you need to get your juices going. For me, I have and will always turn to the movies. Movies are magical things that I’ve notice make things better. 

So here is a “mix tape” of movies I find to be extremely inspirational and personally make me want to get out there and do something. (In no order…)

1. Art & Copy

This is the prefect film for people who are getting ready for the new season of Mad men. 

2. Hoop Dreams

This documentary is touching and so thought provoking you will never see the game of basketball the same way again.

3. Amelie

I hate that this has become a new age hipster film, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a fantastic fairy tale about bright perspectives, goofy love, and the ever charming hobby of eavesdropping.

4. The September Issue

Fashion (past all the snotty attitude) is a beautiful art form. And with Vogue Magazine, it has a very strange and intense back round story. Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington are ying & yang to watch them in their element is a rare and oddly inspiring thing.

5. Helvetica

Yes, a documentary about a font no less. But think about it you see it everywhere but do you know anything about it? 

6. Harold and Maude

A very strange and unlikely love story that makes you think what the importance of life and death, what it means to be a old soul or young free spirit.

7. Harvey

A grown man who’s best friend is a 6 foot imaginary friend? 

8. The Thin Man

I know I’ve talked about this movie before (it’s one of my favorites) but this film is less of an inspiration and more of a pick me up. The screenplay and humor gets me every time.

9. Dead Poet Society

I mean come on: Carpe Diem — seize the day!

10. Life is Beautiful

Being a child the world seems like a big beautiful place and during a time of war it can be altered. Having a father who paints a different picture for you is something we all need sometimes.

11. Finding Nemo

By far one of my favorite movie and I was so happy to hear it was going to be in 3D. The story line runs parallel with Pinocchio but it’s an adventure tale for any age.
