Machotaildrop The Movie

It has been a long time coming, I cannot wait for this movie to drop!
It stars a quirky skateboard enthusiast and his goal to be a star. It is really that simple but the way the movie is mapped out it is a true fairytale. Think of Micheal Gondry's interpretation of skate films and The Warriors. I made a Fashematics to give you a better idea of what I am talking about.

Movie Night: Teasers!

To wet the pallette, dear readers, here are a few trailers of movies I'm into.

Doc Martens' are celebrating its 50th anniversary. I don't own a pair but i have been greatly affected by the culture surrounding this one shoe. It is unbelievable that one shoe could have so much influence on so many people. Just like my affection for DVF I love a chunky Doc Marten boot. Maybe I will purchase a pair, or maybe I will have to admire them from afar.




Banksy: the legend, the hero, the nice guy? I do not care how you choose to label him. I really like his work. And I always look forward to another documentary. Especially one of the most suspenseful. In high school I managed to fill the gigs on my harddrive to the tee with books of his work, I downloaded online. I was so criminal...Anywhoo he inspired me to write a zine and to get active in a more creative community. Thanks Banks!




A Halston documentary is primering at the Tribeca Film Festival, which will take place later this month. Oh boy! Halston, the man of shapes! The man of great proportions. A man beyond circumstance. I (obviously) get giddie when i look at the trailer. Hopefully this Andy Warhol directed documentary from long ago will hold me over.

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea

The story is about a boy who finds something special through a friend and how they become friends and save the town. I am always in love with Hayao Miyazaki's work and I am impressed with Studio Ghibli for bringing more attention to his work. His movies seem to circle around people who are going to a life change or difficulty and how they deal with it. I posted a few stills that will keep you guessing.

Movie Thursday!: The Legend of Leigh Bowery

All this talk in the blogosphere of Leigh Bowery and the Micheal Clark Dance Company inspired me to re-watch this documentary about the late and great Leigh Bowery. Enjoy! And feel free to make comments on what you think.

Edit (9/6/2010): I really love this film. I watched this recently and decided it is one of my favorite movies of all time. And Rosie O'donnell isn't that annoying.
