Little Ashes on DVD

Well, it's new release Tuesday and while I was out shopping at my local Walmart, picking up some cat food, I happened along to the entertainment section where I was looking for something new. Lo & behold, there was "Little Ashes" staring right back at me. It was released on DVD today in North America. Being an RPattz fan, I picked it up, not knowing what to expect with it. I mean, I did know some stuff about it from other blogs & YouTube.

Now, I have seen other works by Robert in between Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire & Twilight. I can't say I enjoyed them. GASP!! Not enjoyed something Rob filmed?? Yes, I did like "Bad Mother's Handbook" where he plays adorkable Daniel Gale, but I found "Haunted Airman" boring; "How to Be"...let's just say I wanted to smack Art upside the head for being so freakin' annoying. In "Ring of the Niebelungs" he's not a major character, but he does seem to do ok (maybe except that mullet of his).

I did enjoy "Little Ashes" While he does need to work on his Spanish accent a bit more, I found it to be a beautiful movie. A lot of people will focus on the relationship between Salvador Dali & Frederico Garcia Lorca as being on the homo-erotic side. I saw it as a beautiful relationship between 2 young men finding their way together in the midst of fascist Spain while at Art School. Sure they kiss a lot & show affection, but that's not the whole point of the movie, IMO. There was an underlying story with the onslaught of the Spanish Civil War where certain behaviors would have you sent to prison, writing poetry about freedom could have you executed. It was a story of 3 friends who met at school, who went on different paths that each other influenced in some way. It's not all about it being a gay movie. But I think I may spoiled some of the movie. It was a beautiful move. And I was surprised to hear Rob drop the F-bomb a few times...you don't get that in the Twilight Saga (can you imagine?!)

Been Awhile

I know it's been a loooooong time since I posted on here. I apologize profusely. Been caught up on my life. Been working at the salon, raising my son, who has Autism. He's been having tons of problems this year at school.

As you can tell, I changed the background of the blog, not sure if I like it yet. I added a slideshow of my Twilight memorabilia. I'm still hoping to get more. I did see the other day the Scene It DVD Twilight version at Chapters (Canada) and also the New Moon figurines of Edward, Bella, Jacob & Alice. Want the Edward, he's only $17.99. I saw a bunch of New Moon goodies at my local HMV store, they have a whole display set up. Also at Shopper's Drug Mart (here in Canada), they have Twilight make up, like the lip venom, 4 compacts (Bella, Alice, Rosalie & Victoria), mascara, shimmer, you name it. It is a bit pricey.

Ok, I did see New Moon the other night. Thursday, to be exact. I saw it at a 10:30pm showing. What a freakin' awesome movie!! I've been waiting since March 23rd when they started filming the darn movie. I've been following the blogs, faithfully. I know what you're thinking, "if she can follow other blogs, why can't she update hers?" I only get so much time on the pc, as my son is at the age to monopolize it. I will be adding a bunch of recent YouTube vids on here, so keep checking back.

Also, in non-Twilight news, "How To Be" was released this past Tuesday. I did see it a while back, not too impressed with it. I had this urge to beat the snot out of Art (Rob's character in the movie) He drove me nuts!! Anyway, I digress. The DVD has the Comcast interview Rob did back in April, there's a behind the scenes stuff. The DVD has a slightly different cover than this one, but this is the pic I had saved in my pc. I also did find a couple of copies of "The Haunted Airman" at my HMV. I have that burned onto a DVD-RW, but I may splurge to get the actual DVD for the better quality

Anyhoo, I better get to more postings. Have a great day!!
