Tales of Seven

August Rush

A collage of music as currency and beautiful imagery in a supporting role.

Critics railed against this move for a simple and overly sweet plot. Audiences gave it high ratings for being simply beautiful.

Improv Everywhere

Thanks to Diary of a Rat for pulling out this gem :)!  "Improv Everywhere causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places. Created in August of 2001 by Charlie Todd, Improv Everywhere has executed over 70 missions involving thousands of undercover agents."

Other missions include Best Buy and 111 Shirtless Men in Abercrombie and Fitch.

Beautiful Women: Popular Film

I've liked some of their movies, and haven't liked others, but I watch these actresses either way, because there is something particularly engaging in their way of going:

Meryl Streep - for poise and presence... and unerring capability in any role

Natalie Portman - for showing a presence beyond her years... an engaging intensity

Rachel McAdams - for a smile that takes over an entire room...open and unguarded 

Angelina Jolie - for walking her own path, keeping others guessing... strength and femininity

... the taste of roses

Like Water for Chocolate - dusty browns with greens and pinks....the taste of roses, the embodiment of life experience through flavor, two connected... Como agua para chocolate

Woman on Top - deep reds, oranges....soft Brazilian rhythms, the spices of experience, learning and that-which-is-wanted, two reconnected....vida com cozinhar

Solaris - blues, whites, grays.... the soft confusion of dream state, the sense of touch, overcoming loss with a journey through memory, two separated

...three movies I love for their ability to amplify the more common film senses of sight and sound with the added experience of touch, taste and scent.

Fun Music Video

With all the serious things going on in the world, it's nice to see people just having fun. I love this video with four oddly dressed men dancing on treadmills.
