"I saw this recently for the first time, per Xan Cassavetes’s recommendation. The flashback sequences are painstaking. This is a kind of cinema that is rare and beautiful."

"Regarding books I have not yet read: The “Snopes” trilogy. I know Faulkner created some of the most beautiful female characters. I can’t wait to discover Linda Snopes!"

"Okay this DVD’s got the coolest menu Criterion’s ever devised. Crinkly, tabloid newspapers that you leaf through to get to the meat of the murder. Tawdry and beautiful."

Poignant, beautiful and tragic
Such a mix of emotions reading this beautiful tragic love story of the effects of circumstances on people be it poverty or social acceptance.

Gustav's character is admirable and delicate, trying to make the best of situations for others despite having so little himself. Absolutely worth an award of some kind. The reading was well done, spoken carefully and portraying a host of emotions. Worth the read.

Beautiful movie
I wanted to watch this after learning that it was based off of a true story. Even if you don't care for musicals, this has a pretty good storyline and, of course, great actors to support it. I could have done without a couple of the songs but there were a couple I thought were actually great. All in all, it's a beautiful movie and I'd watch it again.

This book is simply amazing. J.R. Ward really knows how to create a series with characters that you will love. Zsadist is by far one of my favorite characters. His brokenness is beautiful in his on twisted way.

I am glad that I reread this book. It really is so beautiful and heart wrenching. I cried, I laughed, and I wanted to scream. Do yourself a favor and read this series.

Wow, this was a beautiful graphic novel. I fell in love with the illustration. The sepia tones with the red highlights were beautiful.

This is a good companion graphic novel to "Interview with the Vampire". I found myself fascinated with the illustrations and the quotes from the original novel. I'm glad that I bought the hardcover novel because it is going to be a book that I'm going to show off.

Benson, the most underrated director.
After watching The Endless I was blown away by Benson's direction so I wanted to check out some other films. Spring was equally amazing. Its dreamy, sexy romantic and horrifying.

A man falls in love with a beautiful temptress who falls in love back but not is all as it seems and something primordial could be at play.

A beautiful film that deserves to be enormous.

"The Wong Kar-wai movie. If you haven’t seen it, you must. It’s beautiful, and romantic, and sexy, and impossibly romantic — did I mention? The imagery and the lighting is gorgeous. It’s a DP’s [director of photography] dream. I think I’m a sucker for images. I don’t really need the words as much as I just want beautiful pictures of places I’ve never been and things I’ve never seen."
