I Can't Wait! :)

Today I saw the new trailer for Pedro Almodovar's new film Broken Embraces (Los Abrazos Rotos) and like all of his other films it looks very dramatic, visually stunning, mysterious, interesting, wonderfully good, and of course Penélope Cruz has a starring role in it ;), but what else is new! lol I remember hearing about this film about a year or so ago, they had photos of Penélope on JustJared during the shooting of the movie and really it doesn't seem like that happened that long ago, but no, it's been a year already! How time flies!! And the movie has already premiered in Barcelona this March and at the Cannes Film Festival now in May. It promises to be as good as his other stuff "melodramatic, yet comical; artistic, yet real" that's what I love about him so much! But what makes Almodovar so relatable to me is that he writes and directs his own stuff and that is exactly what I aspire to do!

Watch the trailer in HQ (high quality)!

Broken Embraces is about an aging and blind film director (Lluís Homar) tells his personal assistant, Diego, about his life before the accident that left him in the dark, when he became embroiled in a torrid affair with aspiring actress Lena (Penélope Cruz). His story also involves Diego's film producer mother and a deceitful financier.

Imdb says the movie will be premiering here in the states on November 20th! But only in limited places, so I hope it plays somewhere in Florida :) I really want to go see it!!!

Romance Has A Special Place In My Heart!

I recently saw this video on Facebook through a friend and I couldn't help but steal it from him! It was so perfectly shot and put together! And even though it has no dialogue and it's a very short film, it has a perfect way of telling you just about the right things one needs to know to be able to understand it. The story plays out very mysteriously and sexy in, of course, France (one of the sexiest places in the world) and the detail of colors and the vintage feel of the settings just makes for a "magnifique" commercial!

How amazing would it be to fall in love with someone at first sight? Or to have an interesting story of how the two of you met on a train and then on a boat and lastly at a train station where he/she came behind you and kissed you on the neck?...ahh, so sexy! But reality is that life isn't a film, things wouldn't normally happen in real life the way that they do in films, if only! Because if so I'd be right there, on that train, awaiting my turn lol.

Well at least things don't happen exactly as story like as they do in movies, but I do have hope that when I meet the one, it will be in a very special and romantic way...call me optimistic! :) lol
