Niccoló Donati, love?

Finally watched the Lovely Bones and the September Issue ! Both movies were both inspiring and have mind blowing soundtracks. Lovely Bones with Brian Eno's amazing arrangement and the addictive Cocteau Twins' Alice. While the Lovely Bones has songs that brings you soothing melodies especially Brian Eno's ones, the September Issue has an indie- infested soundtrack which all by all, I absolutely love. From the beginning with Ladytron and the final track Oh No Oh My's Be A Star, it was amazing !


Doesn't Elizabeth Fraser (the singer, originated from Scotland which explains the accent) sounds amazing?


This isn't the version I liked. This is the Jenny version. I preferred the version that was in the credits of the film; the September Issue.


While I was looking for the tracklist for the September Issue (it was hard enough to get the tracklist, it was even harder to find a download link as they were all indie and I, obviously, will never even get to see their EP/ LP/ album anywhere), I found an amazing fellow Malaysian who has a passion for fashion and created a ridiculously beautiful pop-up book of Chanel !


Isn't that just beautiful. You can go here for more pictures of his pop-up book.

In the Lovely Bones, the uber-pretty Saoirse Ronan (pronounciation Seer-sha Ronan) starred in the movie. I have to admit she is super pretty even when she was in Atonement. I think the Lovely Bones has not opened yet in Malaysia, no? Well, when it opens, I advise everyone to go watch it because it is such an amazing movie.


And the September Issue is also a must-watch film for everyone out there no matter you are a girl or a guy, fashionably aware or unaware or don't even care. I'm not a fan documentaries and the September Issue one of the documentaries I liked. Along the list are Sicko, Planet B-Boy and March of the Penguins. Those are the few documentaries that I categorized them as fun, interesting and lack the boring qualities of the usual documentaries. Did I mention that they too have nice soundtracks? Next on my movie list; Coco Avant Chanel !

Current Location: surrounded by madness
Current Mood: slightly annoyed
Current Music: the Hot Rats- Drive My Car

p/s I sound so dull with my documentaries and all, no? And I admit myself that even my movie choices are slightly dull. I reckon I should knock myself in the head and watch blockbuster films that teens my age tend to revolve their world around it.
