Submarine - 2010

Lazy days off of work make for perfect movie watching time. I decided to go with a film that I've been meaning to watch forever; Submarine (dir. Richard Ayoade). I remember seeing stills from the movie (again, this is totally how I choose what to watch any given day) and I was instantly intrigued by the style and production design. The film blends a coming of age story with a teen boy's endearing quest to save his parents marriage from total collapse. 

Inspired: Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky (2009)

Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky is a beautiful film based on a compelling real life story of love and betrayal that happened in the 1920s. The film has an absolutely gorgeous visual style with a palette reminiscent of Chanel's classic collections; black, white and beige. The film also plays with different compositional elements, such as bold symmetry, and interesting neo-noir lighting techniques.

Stills after the jump!

Poison Ivy - 1992

Drew Barrymore as Ivy

Today is a sick day. My body aches and I feel feverish all over. What better to do than lie in bed, drink retarded amounts of green tea and watch a terrible 90s movie? I've seen the film stills all over tumblr like its some cult phenomenon, but can it really live up to that title?
