Venezia Uomo opens with a clean lemon and bergamot tandem before quickly adding relatively soft lavender to the mix. As the fragrance reaches its early heart phase the aromatic lavender takes...
A nice green top note develops into a good iris scent with a hint o light wood - a bit synthetic but all right. Gone after ninety minutes on my skin. Nice while it lasts and quite unlike others.
An all right citrus-vetiver freshness, counterbalanced by pepper, wood and later in the drydown some incense notes. A standard theme played out often and nothing special.
The original vintage version:
Amongst the classic chypres this is a more floral one, with touches of citrus, rose and jasmine in the top notes. Woody and leather becomes more obvious in the...
Goldy, is a perfume that when used draws a lot of attention, making it an eye-catching and head-turning fragrance. It evokes a soothing feeling, and brings a level of comfort to the person...
Not really a film but I've been watching the special 150th episode of The Family Guy titled Brain & Stewie over & over again trying to understand it. It's probably one of the finest pieces of cartoon comedy I've seen. Very well written. Serious issues come up including suicide & what love means to some grossed out humor like eating dog feces & vomit. The entire episode is basically Stewie & Brain locked in a Bank vault over the course of 3 days exchanging dialogue.
Carl Dreyer's superb Ordet. It occupies the top spot and the Arts and Faith list of 100 spiritually significant films--and for good reason. BTW, the list is comprised of great films that even appeal to an old atheist like me.
Dying to see Inception !
Saw The Crazies last night starring Timothy Olyphant. Good movie, tons of action - kind of like Outbreak meets zombies I guess. Timothy Olyphant was 'Hitman' in the movie and he was bald in it- so I did spend an awful lot of time looking at his hair in this movie. He actually looks better bald.
Saw Clash Of The Titans last night. A great movie but really, they could have chosen a better actor for the main character of Perseus. I couldn't get past thinking about soccer and soccer fans when watching Perseus in this movie.
Avatar was on in the background the other night...it's a lot less entertaining when it's not on a big screen or in 3D.
I'm not knocking it...I know the movie sort of depends on the quality of the visuals, and I admire them. It's just that you're sort of limited to watching in an impressive format.
Ramona and Beezus, with my 2 daughters...I read all the Beverly Cleary books as a kid and the movie is really a compliation of the books' greatest hits...it wasn't a classic but it was very cute and I got some laughs out of it.
Hachiko: A Dog's Story last night http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1028532/ By far the best film I've watched over the last 10 years, but make sure you have loads of hankies at the ready
I'll be watching a film called 'Beneath Hill 60' tonight. It looks like it's a good one from the reviews http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1418646/ but I always take reviews with a pinch of salt.
2009s Moon directed and co-written by Duncan Jones. This is a Si-Fi masterpiece reminiscent of both Stanislav Lem's Solaris and Walter C. Clarke's 2001. This is a 10.
Actor Sam Rockwell gives a tour-de-force performance in what is one of the best Si-Fi films I have ever seen. Not full of shoot-em-up action but definitely an intelligently thought out gem.

Robin Hood 2010. I've no idea how I got to the end of this, it was one of the most boring films I've sat through in ages, not a patch on the Kevin Costner or Robin Hood films from years ago. The acting from Cate Blanchett was so wooden, I thought she had strings attached and someone was operating her
I finally took myself to see Inception last night. What an entertaining ride. I walked out of it looking at the world like I was still in it. Then I had weird dreams all night.
I finally saw Julie & Julia last night (or is it Julia & Julie?), and I loved it more than I expected to. The best parts were Meryl Streep's Julia Child and Stanley Tucci's Paul Child.
The American starring George Clooney with my dad last night. Slow, but good acting & interesting Italian locales, but not so much that it is a "must watch on big screen" before it goes to DVD.
George Romero's Survival Of The Dead.... is crap....don't bother. Seriously !
The Back Up Plan - well, I loved it - I think a lot of women may well do. The scene where Zoe's former support group member has a water birth is hilarious. Men may not find it so, though.....
The re-release of Ladies and Gentlemen The Rolling Stones. It's a concert movie from 1973, right around the time they released Exile On Main Street. A good one if you're a Stones fan.
Just finished watching again for who knows how many times. One of my favorites since I was a kid. The best disaster movie of the "disaster movie boom" of the time. A cast of real actors & actresses, unlike the trash of today.
