Kreativ Blogger Awards
I am very happy to tell you all that Steph from The Flick Chick passed on the Kreativ Blogger Award to me. This is very exciting news to me since I am only writing this blog for fun and am mostly surprised that some people (other then my mother) do read it once in a while.
The rules of this award are as follows:
1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
4. Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting.
5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.
6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they have been nominated.
So here go the 7 things that you might find interesting about me (and some you might already know):
(1) I have a B.A. (Hons) in Film Production and majored in production design. (Now you are probably wondering why my reviews aren’t more in depth)
(2) I am currently studying acting at the Lee Strasberg Institute in NYC.
(3) One of my real passions is traveling and I’ve lived in seven different cities (so far).
(4) I have the same kind of scar on my cheek as Arwen in LOTR but didn’t get it from fleeing from the Nazgul.
(5) I have an unusually bad long term memory and tend to forget whether I have seen films or not after a couple of moths (this is one of the reasons why I started this blog).
(6) I am obsessed with face cremes and body lotions and go crazy if I don’t have any hand creme after I have used soap.
(7) My friend and I made a kick-ass adaptation of Titanic when the movie first came out. We had no boat and we had no water and we were the only actors in it. Best film ever made!
Here are some of my favorite blogs (if you are not on this list, it probably just means that you have already received this award from somebody else):
(1) Hoping For Something To Hope For I have been following David Bishop’s blog for a really long time now and always enjoy his reviews. It is a real pity that lately he hasn’t been writing much and I am hoping for a comeback soon!
(2) Bitchin’ Film Reviews I don’t only like this blog for its great title but also for its fantastic film reviews.
(3) M.Carter @ the Movies This is a blog that I found receintly and have been following it ever since. I especially like her Listmania! It’s always great to read another girls opinion!
(4) CinemaWatch Thomas writes about all the movies he sees and I find his opinions very interesting.
(5) Anomalous Materiel Movies I have recently discovered Castor’s blog (or maybe he discovered mine) and very much like the style of it. His opinions on movies are opposite to mine quite often but I always like reading what someone very much unlike me thinks.
(And two non-film related blogs that I love:)
(6) Where the Lovely Things Are Mallory posts a lot of really lovely art/design/fashion links. I don’t know how she finds all of them but its a real joy to look at everything.
(7) Color Me Katie This blog really makes me happy. Katie is a photographer with a very unique vision and I find her joy of life very inspiring.

thank you so much, vanessa! i’m jealous that you’ve gotten to live in so many cities. one of my life goals is to live in a variety of different places… so far, i’m basically failing. also – that’s awesome/exciting that you’re studying at the lee strasberg institute. i hope that you’re enjoying it!
also – i’m glad that you enjoyed watching it’s complicated! i read so many reviews hating on it (because it’s not “realistic” – who always wants realism? and because meryl streep’s problems aren’t “actually problems”, well – duh! it’s still a fun movie!). i went with my mother and sister and it made us happy & we laughed & it was a merry day-after-christmas-event. anyway… i just wanted to say that i’m glad someone else appreciated it for the fun piece of fluffy romantic comedy that it was. the end, haha.

@Mallory – I am also glad that someone else enjoyed watching It’s complicated! It’s exactly the kind of movie I would normally watch with my mother but she doesn’t live here so I could just recommend it to her. And yes, I am enjoying Strasberg very much! You can still go and live in different countries if you want. There is no cut-off date for that.

Congratulations on your Kreativ Award! You should post your Titanic adaptation on YouTube, it would be a monster hit
Finally it makes me glad that you thought of my blog Vanessa, thank you.

@Castor – Ha! That would be hilarious! But I’m not sure I still have it. And if I do it is on tape and I can only work digitally nowadays. We edited the film in camera…thats old school!
