One Dress a Day Challenge

July: Blue Redux (+ Green Redux)

Tulip Fever / Alicia Vikander as Sophia Sandvoort

Most of the costumes in this movie are in earth tones or black, making Sophia's brilliant blue dress really stand out. The painter, Jan, tells her it's the color the Italian masters use to paint the Virgin Mary--because it's the most expensive pigment, brought from overseas. "Ultra-marine."

"Tulip fever" lasted (in real life) from 1634 to 1637, putting a pretty firm date on when the film is supposed to take place. Costumes for this movie were designed by Michael O'Connor, who also worked on The Duchess and the 2011 Jane Eyre.

You're gonna make me have to choose between Coco, Captain Underpants, and The Lego Batman Movie???

How dare you.

Did you choose this year because it's when boss baby and the emoji movie came out because if you did I'm blocking u /s

I refuse to choose between Coco and The Lego Batman Movie actually. I literally can't. They're both too good.

I can't believe Rotten Tomatoes gave The Star, the animated movie from 2017 about the nativity story from the animals' point of view, only 43%! That movie is just too stinking cute imo! 😩

Murder On The Orient Express (2017) 9/10

After a passenger is murdered on the Orient Express, famous detective Hercule Poirot must investigate the other eleven passengers to find out who the killer is. Based on the novel by Agatha Christie.

The plot is straightforward, it literally says what happens in the title, which, isn't the worst thing. Take 'Snakes On A Plane' for example. The same idea, and it's a good movie too.

The cast is very diverse, with different names, such as Daisy Ridley, Michelle Pfeiffer, Judi Dench, Johnny Depp, Leslie Odom Jr., Kenneth Branagh, Kevin Bateman, Josh Gad, Willem Dafoe, and Penelope Cruz. I feel like they did a great job with he casting. It's like Ocean's Eleven; none of them look like they would hang out with each other.

The scenery is beautiful; the mountains and the countryside are gorgeous, sharply contrasting what will happen to one of the characters later on.

There's anticipation as the audience is left to wonder who could have murdered the victim. There's frustration at not knowing who it is. There's fear, and even doubt, as some of the characters look like they wouldn't be capable of murder.

Although, the pace is slow, and there's a lot of dialogue, but most of the anticipation comes from the mystery of who the killer might be.

Because the characters are so different from one another, it's shocking when the revelation comes to light. One of them is devoted to God, for example, and she's just as much a suspect because she sleeps near the area that the crime occured.

I'll be honest, I've seen this movie two times now, and I'd watch it a third time. It's not so action packed, if that's your cup of tea, but there's tension, there's drama, and it's a Who-Dunnit, type premise. Stellar cast, too.

Totally worth seeing, and worth your time.

John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)

How do you follow a film like John Wick? The 2014 ballet of violence was such a pleasant surprise because it took a plot that’s been done to death and revitalized it. That’s where John Wick: Chapter 2 finds its purpose: by expanding on the world at the characters within it to make what was familiar new.

Set about two weeks after the first film, everyone now knows that assassin John Wick (Keanu Reeves) has come out of retirement. For crime boss Santino D’Antonio (Riccardo Scamarcio), this is the opportunity to collect a debt John owes him.

Like before, the stunt choreography is the reason to buy an admission ticket. By now we sort of know Wick’s preferred method of dispatching his enemies but it’s still plenty of fun to watch him efficiently and methodically take out anyone foolish enough to stand in his way. Director Chad Stahelski even throws in a couple of new tricks to make our jaws drop, like a scene in a bar that involves a pencil and not much else. There’s a particular death in that scene that’ll have you squirming, and you’ll love it.

If you think the only appeal is the violence, you're wrong. There are several points where the cinematography and staging are a wonder to behold. A climactic scene set in a hall of mirrors is a great example. Amazingly, cinematographer Dan Laustsen was able to shoot real people performing real stunts in this tiny enclosed space while keeping the cameras out of any reflections and making it look as good as it does. Oh, and shoot it in a way that’s easy to follow, which is the most impressive aspect.

So far, we’ve talked about what you’d expect from a John Wick film. What’s new? The side characters and large chunks of world-building. John is back in an environment he sought to escape. We caught a glimpse of it previously but now, writer Derek Kolstad gives us a good look. This world hiding in the shadows has its own politics, codes of conduct, currency, honor system and rules. Piecing how it all works is loads of fun because it makes so little sense it makes perfect sense. Countless assassins are hiding among us. The busker playing violin in the subway? They’re hiding a gun in their instrument and are ready to take someone out as soon as they get the call. Think that’s weird? Try wrapping your head around the secret society of killers disguised as vagrants! You have to believe these people spend most of their bullets taking each other out rather than high-ranking politicians who’ve made enemies, which actually makes the movie much more digestible than you’d expect. Like Sin City’s Marv said “I love hitmen. No matter what you do to them, you don't feel bad.” When these hired killers take each other out, they’re not people with jobs; they’re targets for John to take out. The secret society is so busy with itself that there's no room for police officers to respond or innocent civilians to get in the way/be taken hostage. Anyone and everyone has a gun hidden on their person. It’s so absurd it removes you from the weight of what all of these deaths would mean had this film been set in the real world.

John Wick: Chapter 2 (which is not going to be the last in the series) is not as surprising or fresh as the first but it makes up for it. Common, Ruby Rose, Laurence Fishburne and Claudia Gerini all play memorable characters with small but important roles. They join Lance Reddick, John Leguizamo and Ian McShane in the pool of actors who give the world a lot of personality. Once again, the fight scenes and gunplay are spectacular. It’s got more than a few brilliantly shot scenes, and its fast pace means the 122-minute running time flies by like nothing. If you liked the first, you'll want to see this one too. (March 26, 2022)

One Dress a Day Challenge

August: Fantasy & Sci-Fi

Guardians of the Galaxy, vol. 2 / Elizabeth Debicki as High Priestess Ayesha

Ayesha and her people, the Sovereign, only appear in a few short scenes in this film, but they are extremely memorable, and the visual design plays a large part in that effect. This gown was made mostly of leather.

The designer, Judianna Makovsky, had this to say in an interview: "I wanted it to have a very metallic and intricate feel. One of the things that James Gunn said is that 'everything in the world is gold.' But we didn't want it to look like Las Vegas. So it wasn't going to be sequin-sparkly, anything like that. But also, we wanted something that was quite sexy as well as being armor. We were also paying a bit of homage to Flash Gordon. Everybody seems to love Flash Gordon, so I wanted to keep it in that world.... We had two versions of skirt: one for sitting and one for standing. One that would fully tulip all the way around and one that was flatter in the back. So it was pretty either way."

Elizabeth Debicki also commented that the costume helped her to get in character: "The restrictions in a costume like that, the corset element of it, the severity of the angles of it and even the weight of it, completely informs how you move because you can' t do certain things in it, which then indicates the type of person you are. When you think of the logic of that character, you wonder why she wears something like that. But it's because she' s informing her people the type of queen she is. It completely changes your physicality, though. I didn' t really feel like Ayesha in a way until I put that dress on and then sat on that throne. Then I really knew what she was all about."
