Seeing Red

The Women In Red
l-r
Dakota Johnson & Tilda Swinton

Since the Venice Film Festival happened the WWW has been flooded with impressions from it. This is one I found particularly striking, call it seeing red.

Why look it's Dakota Johnson & Tilda Swinton sauntering down the red carpet for a screening of their horror flick Suspiria. Look how red they both are, they match the carpet, but what about the drapes?!

Perhaps it's because there will be blood in the horror remake. Or maybe it's because they are red is the color of passion and they are both feeling quite heated. Then there is always the "just because" factor, you know, because they can and wanted to draw as much attention to themselves and their project.

Whatever! It's all fun and games until your film is poorly received, which luckily for this twosome it wasn't.

Off I go, I am seeing red at present of a totally different nature...

A Star Is Born

With Stars In Their Eyes
Bradley Cooper & Lady Gaga

OK, a star really hasn't been born, more like rebooted, Lady Gaga 3.0, or is it 4.0? Anyone?

While the initial trailer online for this opus was, to me a neutral affair, the reviews from the Venice Film Festival have been anything but. 

Everyone is going gonzo for Gaga & Bradley Cooper in what is the 4th take on a timeless theme and film. 

Here are some quotes from those in the know who have seen it at the Fest -

Owen Gleiberman, Variety:

"A Star Is Born is that thing we always yearn for but so rarely get to see: a transcendent Hollywood movie."

 Stephanie Zacharek, Time:

"Cooper’s version proves there’s always a way to freshen up old material."

 Peter Bradshaw, the Guardian:

"He appears opposite a sensationally good Lady Gaga, whose ability to be part ordinary person, part extraterrestrial celebrity empress functions at the highest level at all times… Cooper is arguably prettier than Lady Gaga, but she is the one who commands your attention: that sharp, quizzical, leonine, mesmeric face—an uningratiating face, very different from the wide-eyed openness of Streisand or Garland."

With the film opening October 5th, Warner Brothers suits obviously knew it was going to get good reviews. Thus they showed it out of competition the Venice Film Festival to create buzz.

You'd better work!

Johnny Depp & Amber Heard Are Bringing Sexy Back

Johnny & Amber
Back in Black!

It's Saturday and I came across some smoking photos of Johnny Depp and his wife Amber Heard on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival for the premiere of the Deppsters latest film: Black Mass.

They look so amazing together in their too cute for words color coordinated black outfits.

Heard's being a gorgeous dress and Depp's being a snappy suit.

It's been a long time since the red carpet has been this hot!

Have a sexy Saturday!
