Life's Like a Movie

Celebrating National Scrapbook Month!!

My Summer Reading List (it’s like I’m in high school again!):

The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

Don’t Stop the Carnival by Herman Wouk

The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

Night by Elie Wiesel

Evil Under the Sun by Agatha Christie

Continuing my tour of foreign films, I watched Dario Argento’s THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMMAGE last night. Though the title animal does offer a key clue, it has less than 10 seconds of screen time. But for a film made in 1970, it was a fun romp amongst serial killers in Italy.

If you can believe it, THE SKIN I LIVE IN is my first Pedro Almodovar film. It shocked me in all the right ways and I am still thinking about it!

Continuing with my foreign film education, I watched HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS, which was a visual feast. Lots of vibrant color, cool action sequences, and some amazing camera tricks.

Only three 90-minute SHERLOCK episodes to tide me over on Masterpiece…but I will relish every second!

Taking a spin in The Voice chair!

ADDICTED!!!
