Been A Long Time!

My goodness it's been a while since I last updated. I know too long but don't worry I will be back with more topics. I have more films some fashion and music I want to comment shed light even some history on so get ready. I promise to keep it interesting and add some comedy and debate here and there.

Thinking Outside The Box!

If it's one thing I love is originality and when film directors think outside the box it really excites me. I am a huge fan of Tim Burton because of that fact alone, he has an idea and draws the viewer to his world. I think he and Johnny Depp are THE Dynamic Duo honestly I do. 

I really loved his vision of Sweeny Todd, I happened to have seen the play and though you have limitations with a stage I still have to say I favor the film. The film packed with emotion and outstanding cast is nothing short of stellar. 

I loved Helen Boham Carter's performance as Mrs. Lovett! I seen other actresses take on the role but Helen impressed me the most with her performance overall. Most convincing and perfect how Burton's vision came alive. 

After seeing the film and owning the DVD one thing really shocked me. Who knew Sacha Baron Choen had such a voice?

I challenge many directors to be as daring and creative yes we know his style but when comes to bringing a story to life Burton is genius! 

Talk About Awesome!

Anybody who truly knows me know that I have a thing for Movies. That doesn't mean I'm extreme with it. I just love the special effects and seeing the behind the scenes. I guess people wonder where my love of film cultivated? To be honest it had to be when I went to Disney's MGM studios. Yes, I had a chance to see the classics become alive before my eyes. I saw Pocahontis, The Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty And The Beast, along with The Little Mermaid before they hit the theaters and became DVD classics. Talk about a blessing can you imagine just having the chance to see the testing of the films before it got a chance to become a classic and mega success?

Animation is just one of many genres that really sparks my passion. I love watching Horror, Comedies, Action, Mystery, Classics, Shakespeareans coming to life. To be honest I can be amazed by children's classics as well. My favorite novel as a child was always The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. When Disney brought the film to life you could only imagine how excited I was. Because everybody loves to see what Disney going to bring to the table. Hands down from the rides to animation to film Disney has been nothing but stellar. To spark the imagination of every child of all ages is just....

Let's just say amazing would be an understatement.

I'm a huge fan of Creativity you know real originality. I like when films bring the story to life, it doesn't always have to go by the book I mean come on it's Entertainment step outside of the box. Film makers that are willing to step up to the challenge and don't believe in impossible are those I admire and respect I truly do. My personal opinion is there is no impossible when it comes to film; like many would say it's only a movie but I say it also takes a little movie magic to make the impossible and the imaginative become alive.

That is why I also have a love for photography because when the camera captures a still I know some people think only of just seizing the moment or capturing a memory. Well to me it's more than that. To me a picture should tell a story of not only what happened that day but to capture the emotion. What were your thoughts when you captured that moment? Did you take that picture to waste film? Or to the beauty was so amazing you just had to seize that moment? Why save a memory? You see it's more of you manipulating your audience. It's all in how you interpret the image that keeps your audience amused. You can make them think outside the box in so many ways over a simple picture.

Now with the rise of technology and fun things like Photoshop who knows what we can do when we manipulate photographs and add graphics and special effects? Well only time can tell. I remember grinning like a toddler when I was doing slide shows and movie maker for the first time! Photography and film goes hand in hand in many ways and when you add my other passion which is music along with fashion and art to the mix, you're just asking for it okay? LOL!

So really talk about AWESOME!!

Cinema And Me!

I had to ask myself why I named this blog Astonishing Admiration? Well because I have an astonishing admiration for the arts! I am a extreme lover of photography and film and this blog will concentrate on the strengths and weaknesses and the never before seen or even attempted. I also have a love for technology. Call me a tech or geek or nerd it doesn't matter to me! Just that if it's hot and it's of tomorrow then I'm there faster than the blink of an eye!

I will be giving an in depth view on everything from behind the scenes to from photos to videos and my analysis! Hope readers enjoy it as much I did putting it together. Even if it's for killing time thanks for stopping by!
