Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening [from HERE COMES THE GROOM] 1952

I saw this film the other night on TCM, and have found myself humming this song the last couple of days and thought I should share. The lyrics are quite interesting, and I don't know them so I mainly hum "In the Cool, Cool, Cool, of the Evening".

Scene from movie "Flashbacks of a Fool"

This is by far one of the best movies that I have seen lately, and I wasn't really interested at first, but this one scene captivated me and left me wanting to watch the entire movie and then watch it all over again. It is very tragic,is a film where you could have it on silent and just by the acting and deep expressions you could know exactly what is happening.

Be Your Own Hero - Whip It

This movie is fun, and has a whole lot of Heart!

In Whip It, Roller Derby brings out the Ruthlessness in Bliss played by Ellen Page. A teen on the verge of adult hood dealing with an overbearing mother that drags her to pageant after pageant. Bliss rebels in color, and on a shopping trip to Austin she spots three girls on skates and snags a flyer to her very first Derby Bout. She soon finds that Derby not only captivates her interest but it offers her an opportunity to be her own hero, and part of a team. The story is sweet and innocent at its best; gives you no reason not to go out and sign up to be a Derby Girl!



Drew Barrymore did a fine job with this movie as her directorial debut. I really enjoyed the eclectic touch she brought to the screen.






Julliette Lewis was hot!

Imagine your Love

The folk delight Lavender Diamond originated from Bird Songs of the Bauharoque, an operetta inspired by the work of American painter Paul Laffoley. Vocalist Becky Stark wrote and created the piece with a friend, and she starred as a character named Lavender Diamond, a charming part-bird/part-human who wants peace on earth. An album of Stark's songs was sold on tour, and Lavender Diamond became a four-piece band when Stark relocated from Providence, Rhode Island to Los Angeles.
