Once again the Earth aligns with the planet Sirius opening The Lion’s Gate Portal so that we may receive a flood of cosmic activations. Although I had heard of this the last two years, it was in a teleconference call with a local shaman here in Santa Fe, named Robin Coale that I was reminded… Continue reading The Lions Gate

Movie Monday: Phantom Thread
On Friday evening Greg and I headed over to the Violet Crown to see Phantom Thread, the latest and supposedly last film of the formidable Daniel Day-Lewis. He portrays Reynolds Woodcock, a British couturier in 1950’s London with impeccable taste and a rather extreme and demanding temperament. If I were to choose an astrological sign for… Continue reading Movie Monday: Phantom Thread
Movie Monday: Blade Runner 2049
The original Blade Runner is one of my husbands absolute favorite films, he owns every version that has ever been released, including two copies of a few of those. I’m a fan too, but not quite to that extent. My draw to the sequel was mostly curiosity after having seen the trailer and heard the… Continue reading Movie Monday: Blade Runner 2049
Movie Monday: Oscar 2017
I haven’t done a post about the The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards since 2013, due to a little window of time today I thought I’d contribute a few impressions about last nights award show. Besides the massive blunder at the end, I felt the 2017 Oscar show was one of the… Continue reading Movie Monday: Oscar 2017

I’ve decided not to engage… Continue reading Movie Monday: Vertigo
Movie Monday: MacBeth
The latest interpretation of the Scottish play MacBeth stars Michael Fassbender with Marion Cotillard. The scene opens with a breath taking shot of a pale faced child lying on a bleak landscape which the camera slowly pulls out from to reveal a pyre and group of sorrowful faces. A briefly alluded to snippet in this… Continue reading Movie Monday: MacBeth

Fashion, fortune and the future
Just before heading out to NYC, by chance, I was asked to be part of a feature film. It was a random, rather auspicious stroke of luck which I actually declined on and then after further persuasion said yes. The bummer is that the film will most likely not come out for more than and… Continue reading Fashion, fortune and the future
Movie Monday: The Martian
Last night we met friends at Cafe Carolina for a delicious meal of gnocchi and filet of sole braised with crushed tomatoes, black olives, capers, garlic, and basil followed by a coconut and cashew torte for dessert. After enjoying a very satisfying meal and catching up on all our various adventures we headed further east… Continue reading Movie Monday: The Martian
