100 Movies

New Year's resolutions. I usually don't make them, but this time I want to challenge myself. I watch many movies, as you already know, but I don't know how many in a year...so, this year, I'm gonna count them and see if I can reach 100. I'll consider only the movies I watch for the first time (for leisure or for university) and I'll count made-for-TV movies too, but not TV shows or mini-series. At the end of each month I'll post a list of the movies watched, listing the director and the year of production. For instance:

Becoming Jane (J. Jarrold, 2007)

I hope you'll enjoy this challenge. Questions and comments will be well welcomed!

My first bunch of icons from "24". The caps were really dark so I had a hard time at making them sometimes. However,I hope you'll like them.

Happy Birthday to Dame Helen Mirren!!!

Happy Birthday,Dame Helen!!!
Another year and she's still so beautiful and great!


I don't know how many of you have seen "The Mosquito Coast"(1986). I watched it some time ago and Helen Mirren's performance is wonderful as usual. However,the movie wasn't a big success at the box office and I think the problem is the terribly slow pace of the screenplay. Anyway,I've made a picspam from the movie in order to celebrate her birthday. I'll just add two more things: her wild hair are fantastic and the pics are a lot(sorry for the ones with a slower connection!).
Wish upon a star )

Dropping a bunch of old/new icons. The Lost ones have been sitting on my desktop for more than a year so they're not so great.

Another medical drama?

I've just watched the pilot of "Hawthorne" and I think it was pretty good. We sure don't need another medical drama, but this is from the nurses' pov and I think it has a lot of potential.

Some thoughts about it )

Here's another batch of long forgotten icons. Some of them are very old as you can see from the colouring and techniques used. There are many variations.

If I thought that PP's season finale was a jawdropper...well,compared to Fringe's it wasn't. If you haven't seen the last episode of Fringe, do yourself a favour and don't read any further because I'm gonna spoil it a lot.

After a long procrastination, I've finally decided to post the icons I've been making in the last few months. Some of them are quite old, some others are newer. Some of them are variations. However, here's the first batch.

DAY 3 )

In the last few days, I read about this contestant on Britain's got talent. Apparently an odd lady, she surprised everyone with her voice. Well,I didn't have the chance to watch her performance right away, but now that I've seen her and mostly listened to her, I feel the urge to share her marvelous voice with you. When you say appearence isn't everything...

Here's  Susan Boyle singing "I dreamed a dream" from Les Miz:
The great Susan

I couldn't embbed it because it's so watched that the user disabled it. Really, it worths 7 minutes of your day!  She really gave me chills!
teamangie
I usually don't do this kind of posts,but I really have to this time because Heroes is freakin' awesome and I feel like speculating a bit.
So if you haven't watched the last episode or the promo for next week, turn around and come back when you're ready to read.

let's talk about the episode )

On a brigther note, Beeman has some great pics on his blog as usual. There's one of Angela that's fantastic! And one of Cristine celebrating her birthday! HERE


 

As usual, I got carried away. Another thing,not Heroes related. I watched 15x22 of L&O last Sunday and Jayne was in it!!! She was absolutely awesome and she had such great outfits! A pity it was on Italian TV and it was dubbed...and it's impossible to find it on the net. Does any of you, Jayne's fans on my flist, have it?

Icon meme

The following icons have been chosen by [info]take005 




1. Reply to this post and I will pick five of your icons
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose if you damn well feel like it.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

Sooo...let's talk about the icons!

Icon #1

I made this icon quite some time ago...quite a year I think. The quality isn't the best because this is a detail of a larger image and it was quite difficult to cap it. As a matter of fact,this is one of the photos in the Petrelli mansion. I guees it looks really good on Angela's mantle. I've just tried to work with the colours,I've added a light texture and the "Mama's boy" in a similar shade of turquoise. And well,this is true,after all the Petrelli boys are Mama's boys! ;) The inspiration for the icon came from
[info]thepandorarose .

Icon #2
This is from Vol. 2,episode "Cautionary tale". It comes from the fantastic scene of the interrogation featuring Angela and Matt Parkman(both Cristine and Greg rocked the scene!). I really liked her there,specially for her behaviour and I've always found this facial expression very interesting. First of all,I've worked with the colours and the result was like
this.  Mainly I've tried to enhance the blues and made them look brighter. Moreover,I've tried to make the wall seem kinda blue-ish,too. Then,in order to make the icon more interesting,I've triplicated her face and worked with a texture by [info]creamuts .I was still in a phase in which I used a lot of textures while now I tend to work more with brushes and colours. All the icons from that period look quite fragmented.

Icon #3

Here's my fave Gilmore girl! Emily's always been my fave character and I so love Kelly Bishop! She's one of my fave actresses ever and I really think she's underrated, at least she's been during GG. They had such a talented actress in the cast and lost a lot of great storylines! Anyway,I've made this for a sort of game with
[info]valerie4  over at the VT thread. The VTs gave us a pic of Emily or Kelly and we made 5 variations of it each. This is one of those variations. It was a promotional still from 7x03. The fact that it was HD and that Emily already looked so beautiful really helped! I've just played with colours,saturation and contrast,then added a light texture and a little text brush. I'm really proud of this icon because ti looks really good!

Icon #4


This great icon has been made by the talented
[info]caramelapples11 . I've started obsessing over Bill and Karen last summer during my exam session. One night I was so exhausted that I stopped studying and turned on the TV. The famous phone call in 6x23 appeared in front of me,I got curious,I started to look for more about them on the net and here I am, eager to know how's retired life in Vermont! So when I saw this I had to snag it! This icon is simply fantastic, not only for the colouring and the blending,but mostly for the lettering (it makes me *lmao* everytime I see it) and the great capping! Awesome moment!

Icon #5

This is a very recent icon. It was requested by
[info]thepandorarose . I've made some variations of it,but this is my fave. I've also made a Team Arthur one,but I'm definitely part of Team Angela. If you haven't guessed till now,she's the best Heroes character,IMO,not to mention Cristine's awesomeness. The pic is a promotional one for S3. I've tried to make the colours look bright and then added light textures and the text.
