Daylight

 

Inspired by Bella Heathcote and Eddie Redmayne's editorial from Vanity Fair's Hollywood Portfolio.

Hope you had a nice Sunday and have been enjoying the extra daylight! I spent today catching up on work, eating pizza, and going on an extra walk.

By now I'm sure its fairly clear that I have strange taste in movies. Well, by some standards anyways. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that one of my favorites is Danny Boyle's (less praised) 1997 film "A Life Less Ordinary."

The movie stars Ewan McGregor as a janitor with dreams of writing a trash novel, who through a series of events orchestrated by angels, ends up unexpectedly kidnapping his rich boss's daughter (Cameron Diaz, in a fairly tolerable role) at gunpoint. The daughter essentially takes control of the situation, and they work together to extort as much money as possible from her father.
Its campy and wonderful, seeing Ewan McGregor wearing a great patterned shirt, mini musical numbers ('By the Sea!') and comforting 90's music (like this song and this one!) while the rest of the story falls into place.

There is just something that I've always loved about this movie. Its perfect for Sunday afternoons when you are half way between being awake and asleep, if that makes any sense.

Man, do I love Serge Leblon!






I also love this video...probably because I've always felt like Macaulay Culkin and I should be best friends. I just want to sit and eat pizza with him, and listen to his stories. Oh, and of course he would have to re-enact the home alone mirror-scream for me. There's no avoiding that one!
