Gorgeous Sand Sculptures
During Christmas time in Melbourne, Austrailia there was an AMAZING sand sculpture exhibition with sculptors from around the world. I would have loved to watch them work! Sand as a medium to sculpt must have been a giant pain. The theme was "creepy crawlies", but seemed to end up more whimsical and film-themed, which I don't mind at all.

83rd Annual Oscar Nominations Announced-Congratulations!!
The 83rd Annual Oscar Nominations for 2010 were announced this morning. Of course, I must list the best in the creative area and a big CONGRATULATIONS to them!!!! The Oscars will be awarded live by hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway on February 27, 2011.
ART DIRECTION:Alice in Wonderland (Walt Disney), Robert Stromberg (Production Design), Karen O’Hara (Set Decoration) - I am not in complete agreement with this. Although I worship the ground Tim Burton walks on, I had issues with the usage of visual effects in this movie. I like to see a marriage between the two with some practicals that blend into the CGI, even in a dream world. Don't even get me started on Avatar....

Courtesy of Warner Brothers| Inception (Warner Bros.), Guy Hendrix Dyas (Production Design), Larry Dias and Doug Mowat (Set Decoration)- Gorgeous dream worlds, but some of them I couldn't help but feel like I've seen before--the asian setup in Kill Bill vol. 1 and the mountain setup in Charlies Angels:Full Throttle, just with different set decorating. Loved the hallway effect and PERFECTION with the suits! |  |

The King’s Speech (Paramount), Eve Stewart (Production Design), Judy Farr (Set Decoration)-Gorgeous! I love, love, love a period piece and so does the Academy. Everything was perfection, even the acting.

True Grit (Paramount), Jess Gonchor (Production Design), Nancy Haigh (Set Decoration)-At this time, I have not had a moment to see it, but I will add my addendum later. |

Thing I need in a film-Yacht Strand Craft 166
How James Bond is this boat? I need to put it in an action movie! Sleek and gorgeous, it is stunning on the water-the Strand Craft 166 -length about 50 meters, can accommodate 8 people in 5 large luxurious cabins, each equipped with 52-inch screen, which is controlled by iPad, a garage for your car, and a jacuzzi in the front of a bridge. It has a pair of engines with a capacity of 5,766 horsepower, with a rocket booster that has a power of 5600 hp.
