LazyFILM = Bridesmaids

A few months ago my sweet baby sister got engaged, yay! So last night the bride to be, two bridesmaids (her best friends) and the maid of honour (myself) had our first outing together...of course we had to go see the movie 'Bridesmaids'. 

This is such a fun film, full of belly laughs and sweet moments between best friends...good and bad. Ohhh and that giant cookie...little sister, if you have a giant cookie at your engagement party...I cannot guarantee I won't attack it...it kind of screams 'food fight' which is a tradition in our family anyways.

Go SEE it

LazyFILM we love

Just saw Monsters. I love everything about this film, great story, great photography, and a beautiful score by Jon Hopkins.  Sadly I am sure the poster will scare some people off, but trust me its not a ‘gore-fest’ at all…and for those that want ‘gore’…go see it ANYWAYS.

If you haven't seen it already, check out the recent documentary on Australian ‘Mother of Rock’ Journo Lillian Roxon. LOVE it, ROCK it.

Lillian Roxon was a journalist living in the US in the mid-1960s and was fascinated by popular music and the rise of groups like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Through her writings and her interest in pop, she became one of the leading lights of the social and musical scene that centred on the fabled New York music club Max’s Kansas City, which was frequented by members of the Andy Warhol circle, Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground, Jim Morrison and many others.  Her articles about the burgeoning rock scene are now credited as being foundation stones of serious rock writing, and she has since been described by other leading critics as "the mother of rock".  She also published the book Lillian Roxon's Rock Encyclopaedia in 1969.

Can’t wait to see this one.  LOVE it.

LazyFILM…we heart BAVA

Is it chilly outside? Feel like a night in?   How about this…

EAT- chicken, fennel and olive stew (yes I will post the recipe). 

DRINK – red wine please, lots of it.

WATCH - Sei donne per l'assassino (Blood and Black Lace)

Sei donne per l'assassino is a 1964 Italian thriller by the king himself, Mario Bava.  The story is set around a fashion house, with a killer who likes to, well, kill models.  I have a huge weakness for ‘giallo’ from the 60s, and this would have to be one of my faves.  This film is fab for a cosy night in, and worth watching just for the opening credits. But be warned, watch out for ‘dubbed’ copies.  This film should be seen in it’s true form, Italian style.  LOVE it.

Close your eyes…

Happy weekend from LazySUNDAY xxx

They're really quite beautiful in a wild kind of way. You can almost smell the lions.

Time for a little 70s LazyFILM kick ass.  Rollerball baby.

Set in a corporate controlled future, the violent sport of rollerball represents the world. 
Anything set ‘in the future’ filmed in the 70s kicks it as far as I’m concerned.

...Why Rollerball?
…Great sets, great fashion, violence on roller skates, and men in their rawest form, LOVE it.

I wanna be in the 60s...

Reason one...Blow up by Michelangelo Antonioni

Like so many other people, I adore this film.  
This was Michelangelo Antonioni's first English-language film. It tells of a photographer's accidental involvement with a murder, inspired by Julio Cortázar's 1959 short story, "Las babas del diablo" and by the life of London photographer David Bailey.

Fashion, Photography, Sex, Murder, LOVE IT.
