A visit to some cowboys and I hold a gun

                                                   my mother when she was little
                                                   little lorraine!! how cute

Submarine

I dont usually like English films but this was one was beautiful
The acting was subtle and gentle and brought back alot of memories of what it
feels like to be 15. It was funny and dry and very awkard at times!

it was 'free scoop' tuesday sat the cinema ben and jerrys stand
the queue was long
the scoop was generous

my drawings- April

These are some drawings that were in my mind. I really like a watercolour style with pale colours but I think bold colours will be better as they stand out more and make the place feel warmer.
The drawing below is the bold colours which I would use

1. My fair Lady
2. Annie
3.Oliver
4. Fagin by the lockers       5. The childcatcher- too scary??
6. Truly Scrumptous

7. Grease- this drawing isn't nice I just like his goofy face

8. Woman in box at the theatre
9. Girl dancing- bit silly

10.Girl jumping high off the ground
11. Tap dancer

12. Chicago
13. Cabaret- I would write the font myself I just quickly
got the title from the poster

14. Sound of Music- maybe lyrics following the notes
'doe a deer....' ect

15. Singing in the Rain
I know the poster has 3 people but I like it with these 2??


16. Wizard of Oz
can do the tin man and lion too but I like this balance
other ideas: a piano like a border around the walls with different coloured notes
lyrics from songs- written in nice fonts

MICMACS





Id heard alot of negative comments about Jean-Pierre Jeunet's new film 'micmacs'. I love 'Amelie' and I knew his new film could never match that charm and sweetness.
But I was taken aback by how quirky and clever 'micmacs' was!  he drops these wonderful ideas then leaves us to ponder- he doesnt milk them or return to them like most films would. he has so much to say and show. the characters are bizarre and mechanical and endearing. I love the ideas of recycling. and the possiilities of reusing and redicovering. The dreamy green hues, ridiculous logic and power to the outsider ideas= this film made my night. The explosive scene was my favourite, which is so unlike me. It was beautiful
