Great Gatsby

It was exactly a year ago when I posted about "The Season Of Gentry" on the 21st of this month and sure enough yesterday (The 22nd) the trailer for the movie "The Great Gatsby" was released.  I have already created a montage of my favourite looks which I have embedded above, can you feel the excitement?

I have watched it six times in counting and I am even more super anxious for Autumn / Winter '12 to arrive  now that it has got me out of my blogging hibernation! Now I know Summer only arrived today in the UK so before you start making blasphemous comments keep your cap on and hear me out! 

I'm not only excited about the release of the film, I am also excited because of the beautiful menswear pieces that will be re-discovered and appreciated once again. One brand in particular that I hope will make it's mark come A/W "12  is Marwood headed by the beautiful Becky French. Her tie's, bow- ties, scarves and pocket squares are beautifully crafted and all produced in England (which very rare nowadays), all round I think she is a genius there is no doubt about that. However I maybe biased, so I have included images of some of  her SS '12  and "Classic Lace"collection  below so you can decide for yourself. Also check out her blog it's definitely one of my favourites http://marwooduk.blogspot.co.uk/ - The Gatsby trailer is after the break.

"Young Souls" By Dean Chalkley

Last Thursday was all about the celebration of the Northern Soul Movement at the Bethnal Green Working Man's Club - with the exclusive screening of Dean Chalkley's short film "Young Souls" presented by 125 Magazine being shown to a select group of industry folks, cast members, competition winners and northern soul fanatics.

Myself and Mr Koziel made our way to the heart of Bethnal Green and walked straight back into 60's Britannia, there were alot of impressive moves from both young and mature dancers - I think I've been converted plus the short film was amazing! if you would like to check out what the party was like you should head over to 125's facebook page and check out the photo's!

Breakfast Club

Rooftop Film Club

Went to watch "Blue Valentine" with Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling at the Queen Of Hoxton on Monday. Brilliant Concept and a nice break from your normal cinema experience, there's a blanket on your seat for when gets a little chilly and wireless headphones so you can still move about and not miss a thing plus a mini popcorn machine, bar and bar-b-q.

The film itself well it was my first time watching and I have to say EMOTIONAL! Beautifully filmed though and the performances from both Williams and Gosling were so believable, definitely would recommend but would warn to those in an not so secure relationship to stay away I think couple that was sat in front of me found that out the hard way. Gutted.

Ferris Bueller

The Tree of Life - Trailer

Directed by the legendary Terrence Malick this film is finally set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival but still no official release date for the UK (sad face). The trailer is amazing and I hear the storyline is a bit arty & complex  but I'm hoping it lives up to the hype.

Limitless Trailer 2011 HD

                

Thanks to Orange Wednesdays I dragged myself to see... What turned out to be one of the best movies I've watched in a while. Limitless is a film that is not only thought provoking but will  also keep you on the edge of your seat and have you debating whether this pill exists ( I'm convinced it does) oh and the beautiful Bradley Cooper isn't bad either.
For those who haven't watched it I recommend you rush down to your nearest Filmhouse becasue this one is definitely not to be missed!
For those that have I have to ask if you had the opportunity to have this clear pill what would you do?
