Darkest Hour

Coming to theaters November 22, 2017…

A thrilling and inspiring true story begins on the eve of World War II as, within days of becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill (Academy Award nominee Gary Oldman) must face one of his most turbulent and defining trials: exploring a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or standing firm to fight for the ideals, liberty and freedom of a nation.

As the unstoppable Nazi forces roll across Western Europe and the threat of invasion is imminent, and with an unprepared public, a skeptical King, and his own party plotting against him, Churchill must withstand his darkest hour, rally a nation, and attempt to change the course of world history.

Gary Oldman stars as Winston Churchill in director Joe Wright’s DARKEST HOUR, a Focus Features release.

Cast: Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Lily James, Stephen Dillane, Ronald Pickup, and Ben Mendelsohn

THE BEGUILED is in theaters everywhere!

Have you seen The Beguiled yet? The Beguiled is an atmospheric thriller from acclaimed writer/director Sofia Coppola, winner of the Best Director award at the 2017 Cannes International Film Festival. The story unfolds during the Civil War, at a Southern girls’ boarding school. Its sheltered young women take in an injured enemy soldier. As they provide refuge and tend to his wounds, the house is taken over with sexual tension and dangerous rivalries, and taboos are broken in an unexpected turn of events.

Check out these tintype photos that were taken on set by Sophie Caretta.

Aren’t these amazing? I would frame these!

How the photos were made

The Collodion process is an early photographic process invented in 1851, an intricate process which requires the photographic material to be coated, sensitized, exposed, and developed within the span of @15 minutes. During the Civil War, it was the only choice for documenting the war and life at that time. Despite its shooting disadvantages and its laborious technique, its aesthetic qualities with imperfections define a mood and style grounded in the historical, physical qualities of photography.

It’s a moving process where … Read more...

In a leap of faith, Victor and Félicie leave their orphanage in pursuit of their passions.

But – there’s a catch, Félicie must pretend to be the child of a wealthy family in order to gain admittance to the prestigious and competitive Opera Ballet School in Paris.

50 Years of Rolling Stone Magazine at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

June 22, 2017 · 38 Comments

I have been to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame five times now, and each time I find something new. I’ll admit, I was disappointed that the induction film was “on hold” for editing, but I get that they have to cut it down to a watchable size.

Music has always been a huge part of my life. When I was a little girl, I loved the Donny and Marie show. I can still remember some of the songs. Then came Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton John. My sisters and I would roller skate in the basement to our records. That was the best!

Rolling Stone Magazine

Since I’ve been to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame so many times, I didn’t need to spend too much time looking at things I’ve already seen. I do love the Cities and Sounds exhibit, so I spent a little extra time looking at that.

I did spend quite a bit of time in the Rolling Stone: 50 Years exhibit. This exhibit, which runs through the end of 2017, gives you an in-depth look behind the scenes at Rolling Stone Magazine.
