Special Cinema Spotlight: Winter's Tale

August 31, 2014
A Vintage Nerd, Vintage Blog, Winter's Tale Review, Old Hollywood Blog, Retro Lifestyle Blog, Period Films

Set mainly in 1916 in New York, Winter's Tale tells the story of a two star crossed lovers who learn that each person is special and each carries their own miracle. I would categorize this film as a romantic/fantasy film. I didn't know what to expect from it and actually assumed the romance part was going to be a fleeting aspect of the story when actually it was the foundation. About 80% of the film is focused on the characters of Peter Lake (Colin Farrell) and Beverly Penn (Jessica Brown-Findlay).

Peter Lake is an orphan who doesn't know about his past and grows up on the streets of New York and becomes a thief. He works for a man named Pearly Soames (Russell Crowe) who unknown to Peter he is actually a demon. That is where the fantasy aspect of this story comes in. Pearly knows that each human has a miracle to perform while on earth and if he corrupts those miracles then it would big hit for the home team (very surprising appearance by Will Smith as the Devil). Pearly thinks Beverly is Peter's miracle and as Peter and Beverly fall deeper in love, despite her dying of consumption, he helps along with her death which spins Peter out of control.

After Beverly's death and the supposed murder of Peter by Pearly's men, Peter awakens and has no memory of his past. He continues to live unchanged and the story brings us to the year 2014. In the present is when Peter learns of the miracles, his roles in them, and changes the lives of a mother and daughter named Virginia and Abby Gamely (Virginia is played by Jennifer Connelly). 

I won't share the end because a lot builds up to it but I must confess I found it poetic and lovely. I know this film didn't do well in the box office and for many it would be an acquired taste but I love how much I ended up enjoying it. My favorite bits are the interaction between Peter and Beverly, the random hug her father gives to Peter, and the presence of a classic film star, Eva Marie Saint, playing an older version of Beverly's younger sister.

What disappointed me or confused me was Peter's accent. It was Irish (the actor is Irish) and although Pearly's accent is also Irish (he raised him), I think it would have been fitting to have had a authentic New York accent of that time. Will Smith. Interesting scenes but he just shouldn't have been in the film at all. The film could do without those scenes. And lastly, how the heck could Eva Marie Saint's character of Willa have been 103-105 years old and still running her newspaper? They should have pushed it back to like the year 2000 or so. Much more convincing.

Otherwise, I enjoyed the uniqueness of this tale. It is loosely based on a book by the same name and I truly enjoyed Farrell's performance.

Have you seen this film? What did you think? Anything surprise you or disappoint you?

The Brooklyn Farmacy is such a fantastic place to go to. You have heard of it before HERE and of my review of their cookbook HERE, but now I'd like to share with you what having lunch at the Brooklyn Farmacy can be like.

I had the best egg salad sandwich EVER. Then for dessert my husband and I shared their Mr. Potato Head. It was delicious. Afterwards we heading into the city and checked out a neat little vintage shop called Dusty Buttons. It was a lovely day at the Brooklyn Farmacy.

Do you have an eatery by you that you love to go to? What is your favorite thing from their menu?

Vintage New York: Coney Island

August 28, 2014
A Vintage Nerd, Vintage New York, Vintage Coney Island, Historic Landmarks of New York

Coney Island was the place to go to for New Yorkers who wanted to get away from the city life and their neighborhoods. Coney Island was a place where they could get some sun, swim, have a blast with the rides, and eat a Nathan's hot dog.

Here is a look at what Coney Island looked like in the past:

Old Fashioned Picnic In Central Park

August 26, 2014
A Vintage Nerd, Vintage Blog, Retro Lifestyle Blog, Picnic in Central Park

Having a picnic in Central Park are one of those things that are on my bucket list. I know you may assume because I live here that I hang out in Manhattan everyday but I don't. Most New Yorkers don't. Most just work there, eat, and leave for home in the other boroughs or even drive to Long Island, New Jersey, or Connecticut. So going into the city (Manhattan) is treat for us New Yorkers as well!

A blogger you may know well, Beccie, from Sew Retro Rose, is here on holiday all the way from Australia. The very first day she was here we met up with my family and had a little picnic in Central Park. My husband picked an amazing spot because Belvedere Castle was our backdrop. How beautiful is that!

My babies were super excited to meet Beccie and she gifted them each a beautiful handmade drawstring bag with their names on it. They were so happy. Each one held a book, chocolates, and a stuffed animal that is found only in Australia-Koala bear, Wombat, and Kangaroo with her Joey. We in turn gifted her a purple, sparkly mermaid brooch with matching earrings from Poison of Choice. 

Afterwards we headed to my favorite art museum called The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I haven't been there in ages but I began frequenting it when I was a teenager. It took me a bit to get used to it again although at one point it was like a second home to me. I just love it there.

Before we knew it our morning and early afternoon together was over, but there is more to come. Do you have a bucket list? What is on it? Do you enjoy picnics? If so, what do you like to bring at your at them?

New York is entity on it's own. It really is the city that never sleeps. It's far from perfect but no place really is. A lot of films have been made here and I wanted to share some of my favorites. Have you seen any of these? The Naked City really shows how old New York used to be-it will blow your mind.

The Gift of Journaling

August 25, 2014
A Vintage Nerd, Vintage Blog, Retro Lifestyle Blog

We all have times when we feel really overwhelmed like we may lose our minds or really down as if nothing will get better. This is all normal and although people don't normally speak about it, it happens to the best of us.

One of blogs that I always enjoying reading is called Gala Darling. I decided to take a online course called Gala's Radical Self Love Bible class was right up my alley. It's basically an art journaling course and it has been so fun to work on everyday. I am in week three into my three month course and I have already learned so much. Best part is that in a way it feels like homework so I tell the children that mama has homework to do and they sit quietly and watch me craft and journal. 

I love what I am doing and I love that at the end of the three month course I will have something that is solely about me and for me. A gift of journaling.

Have you ever journaled before? Do you find that sometimes you forget yourself in the midst of other things?


Must See TV: Breathless coming to PBS

A Vintage Nerd, Breathless, Period Tv Shows, Retro Lifestyle Blog

PBS is a magical station. I have been a big fan since I was a child and that channel introduced me to Sesame Street and Doctor Who.

In May I announced that PBS would be showcasing season two of Endeavour and now it will be showcasing a new BBC medical drama set in the 1960's called Breathless.

Starting this Sunday, August 24th at 8pm you can watch this new show either on the channel itself or online. I watch it online since I do not have cable but be aware those episodes are only available for a short amount of time. Dare I say for about a week or so the most.

I am eager to start this show as its already reminding me of a blend of Mad Men and Call the Midwife. As soon as I finish devouring it I will review here on my blog for you all. If you want to see a preview you can take a peak HERE.

Have you seen this show already? If not, are you excited to see a new medical drama set in the 60's?

7 Lessons That The Wizard of Oz Can Teach Us

August 21, 2014
A Vintage Nerd, Vintage Blog, Wizard of Oz Inspiration, Wizard of Oz, Lessons to be Learned from the Wizard of Oz, Classic Film Blog, Old Hollywood Blog

There is no place like home.

Not every home is a safe and good place to be in but what Dorothy means when she says those lines is that home is where the heart is. Her heart was always set on Aunty Em and Uncle Henry. Where they were would always be home. Where your loved ones are will always be home.

Getting rid of bad things is as easy as having a house land on it.

Purging your life of negative things isn't as complicated as people may make it to be. Changing your lifestyle, your friendships, or even simply purging your home of things from your past can allow you to put negative things where they really belong. In the trash.

Life brings the most unexpected friendships.

Dorothy didn't expect to make friendships with a Lion, a Tin Man, and a Scarecrow, but they created a bond that she would carry with her for the rest of her life. From the time we are little we embark on a journey that can bring us friendships and connections with other people that we never planned or expected. Making friends out of state, out of country, opposite gender, different lifestyles, etc. You just never know who you will connect with and many times it is those friendships that impact our lives for the better.

Believe in your own magic.

Dorothy had to believe in herself. She had to learn to believe in the power of goodness, friendship, and love. So, have faith in yourself. We fill our lives with faith in Gods, goddesses, and heroes but we forget to believe in the power of our own selves. We each carry within us magic and that we believe in it can sparkle not only in our own lives but in everyone else that we love. Magic is real. Believe that it is in you and that you can harness it.

A good song can soothe the heart.

"Somewhere over the rainbow...." Music at its best can soothe us, makes us feel happy, and bring us comfort. Someday Over the Rainbow is a reminder that a good song can bring us peace and calm us even when there are storms around us.

You are who you want to be.

Okay so the wizard isn't a bonafide wizard but he believes he is so therefore he IS! You believe you are smart, you are. You believe you are funny, you are. You believe you are talented, you are. There will always be people to question who you are or even tear into you but keep that belief that you know who YOU are.

Even our wildest dreams can be real.

Dorothy thinks everything she went through was a dream. What if it wasn't. What if the things you wanted most in this world were really far fetched and far off from your grasp. They can almost seem like a mirage. I am here to tell you that even our wildest and biggest dreams can come true and be real!


Special Cinema Spotlight: Oz: The Great and Powerful

August 21, 2014
A Vintage Nerd, Oz: The Great and Powerful, Vintage Blog, The World of Wizard of Oz

When Oz: The Great and Powerful (2013) first came out I was quite skeptical and worried. I was worried that they would somehow ruin the legacy of The Wizard of Oz.

Sitting in the theater with my daughter (my boys are too young for this type of film), I held my breathe and left myself open to the possibilities. I have to admit I was surprised to find myself not hating it. Michelle Williams keeps surprising me too. I saw her in My Week With Marilyn and well, she pulled that off too.

This film is a precursor to The Wizard of Oz. It is set about twenty years before Dorothy comes to Oz.  It begins in a similar fashion as The Wizard of Oz  did, in sepia color. We meet an illusionist/magician by the name of Oscar Diggs (James Franco). He is a bit of a con artist and womanizer and gets caught flirting with the wrong woman. He escapes via hot air balloon and that is when he gets sucked into a tornado and lands right in Oz!

He meets a girl named Theodora (Mila Kunis) who takes him to the Emerald city to meet her sister Evandora (Rachel Weisz). They tell her of their 3rd sister, Glinda and that she murdered their father. There are twists to who is actually good and who is wicked and then in a flash something happens to Theodora. I did not expect this scene and I have to say the transformation is fantastic!

In the midst of all this, Oscar  is tempted to help them defeat Glinda in order to be seated on the thrown but he never expects to create friendships with a monkey named Finley and a living china china doll named China Girl. Oscar learns about being selfless, being brave, and being a good friend. Things that he wasn't in his prior life as a traveling magician. He also learned to believe in himself and others as well.

My favorite characters in this film are Theodora after her transformation ( the clue in the photo above) and China Girl. The film also connects aspects of his life from before to his life now just as they did in The Wizard of Oz which I enjoyed seeing.

All in all, I say well done. They plan to make a sequel that will not include Dorothy since it is set twenty years before she comes and all of the original cast have signed on. I cannot wait!

Have you seen this film? What did you think about it? Were you happily surprised as I was?

Movie Madness Monday: Fantasy and Magic

August 18, 2014
A Vintage Nerd, Vintage Blog, Classic Fantasy Movies, Old Hollywood Blog, Classic Film Blog, Retro Lifestyle Blog

This week in lieu of my celebratory posts on The Wizard of Oz I wanted to share with you some classic fantasy films. You may or may not have heard of them but they blew the fantasy genre out of the water for their time. The first two are silent films but I quite enjoy a silent film or two.

There was a 1940 British remake of the 1924 film The Thief of Bagdad (starring Douglas Fairbanks) which starred Sabu. As well as a 1952 and 1961 film remake. Have you seen them all? I think the ones that stick in my mind the most at the first two (1924 and 1940 remake).

Here are my choices for this Monday:


Destiny 1921


The Thief of Bagdad 1924


Beauty and the Beast 1946


The 7th Voyage of Sinbad 1958

Fantasy films have an air of magic about them. They bring to us the impossible (ie flying carpets) and they gift us with an experience of thinking outside of the box.

Have you seen any of these fantasy and magic films? Did any of them blow you away with their (at the time) state of the art special effects?

There is something about dolls that I find so pretty and dainty. I think dolls bring out the little girl in every woman and little girls get to play grown up in safe and creative manner.

Dolls are lovely to play with as well as to collect. Do you collect dolls?

This month marks the 75th Anniversary of the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz. The original release date was August 12th, 1939. The Hollywood premier was on August 15th, 1939 and the New York premier was held 75 years ago tomorrow! This week and next I will continue sharing posts dedicated to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

I spotlighted the 1939 film HERE as well as shared behind the scenes photos of the film HERE. Today I am beginning a three part series that is my Ultimate Guide To Wizard of Oz Stuff

Here are a few wonderful books that every fan of the film and story would love and appreciate:

The Wizard of Oz
1///2///3///4///5///6///7///8///9

The first book is of course the story of Dorothy and Oz. The second and third include inside information and knowledge of the film. Books 3-5 have more information as well as the story of Toto. Books 7 and 8 are inspired by the story while the last is actually a magazine. I have it and it is incredible. If you love the film you must own this, it is definitely a collectible item.

I love films as much as I love books. There have been many renditions of The Wizard of Oz as well as stories set beyond such as The Return to Oz. There have also been a few animated film version as well as films inspired by the story of Dorothy and Oz such as Tin Man (2007). I know some may not appreciate the re-imagining of such a classic tale but quite a few of them are really good.

Here are some films (dvds) inspired by The Wizard of Oz as well as some fantastic re-imaginings:

The Wizard of Oz
1///2///3///4///5///6///7///8///9///10///11///12

Films 1-7 are geared more to children although I think children can watch all of these. While films 8-10 are re-imaginings. The final two dvds are documentaries. I have seen about half of these films and the others I would love to see. My children's first taste of this magical story was while watching the Mickey Mouse version (#2). Eventually I did show my daughter the original film as well as Oz: The Great and Powerful. I'm happy to say she loved them both and of course so do I!

I do hope that you enjoy this series of my Ultimate Guide to Wizard of Oz Stuff as there is more to come! I didn't want to overwhelm you with everything that I found but if you are a fan of the film, the books, or the story in general then you may find these items to be as drool worthy as I find them!

Have you read any of the books I listed? Have about the films? Are there any you would love to read or see?

Classic Cinema Spotlight: The Wizard of Oz (1939)

August 15, 2014
A Vintage Nerd, Vintage Blog, Old Hollywood Blog, The Wizard of Oz Review, Classic Film Blog

When you want a little magic just pop in a dvd copy of The Wizard of Oz (1939) and it will deliver in spades. Based on L. Frank Baum's story of Oz which was written in 1900 and had over fourteen books about Oz published afterwards.

1939 was a big year in film and it was also the beginning of World War II. The Wizard of Oz managed to bring the entire world a splash of sparkle and heap of hope. That at the end of the day, there really is no place like home.

Starring Judy Garland (who was just a girl herself) as the lead Dorothy, Frank Morgan as the Wizard, Ray Bolger as the Scarecrow, Jack Haley as the Tin Man, Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Loin, Billie Burke as Glinda the Good Witch of the North, and Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch of the West.

The film begins in Kansas in the early 1900's, where Dorothy Gale lives with her Aunt and Uncle on a farm with her dog Toto. Dorothy runs away from home because Mrs. Glitch wants to have Toto destroyed. She meets a phony fortune teller who tells her that her Aunt is ill and that she should go back home. On her way home a tornado hits the town and sweeps Dorothy and Toto into another land.

One of the magical bits of this film is the sudden change from sepia color to Technicolor to demonstrate Dorothy in her everyday world and Dorothy in the land of Oz. Movie Magic!

While in Oz Dorothy goes on an incredible journey where she makes special friends, crushes evil enemies, and contends with flying monkey's. All the while trying to find her way to the Emerald City and ask the Wizard how she can get back home.

Iconic doesn't even fit the bill with this film. Surprisingly it wasn't a huge success when it first came out in 1939 due to the fierce competition of Gone with the Wind but when it was re-released in 1948, it exploded.

This film is reminder that iconic things do not become iconic overnight. There is usually a process and a lengthy one at that. Many changes happened at the beginning of production from firing directors, changing costumes, and altering hairstyles. Not to mention all the accidents that occurred as well as deciding on whether or not to keep the memorable song "Somewhere over the Rainbow" in the film. Can you imagine this film without it?

Dorothy and her friends; the Scarecrow, the Lion, and the Tin Man learn invaluable lessons while following the yellow brick road. And Dorothy most of all, that at the end of the day there is no place like home.

Here is some more fantastic tales and tidbits about The Wizard of Oz:

Must See TV: Endeavour: Season Two

August 14, 2014
A Vintage Nerd, Vintage Blog, Period TV Shows, Endeavour, Retro Lifestyle Blog

Last month I was able to catch the entire Season Two of Endeavour on PBS. I know some of you mentioned to me that this season would knock my socks off and boy were you right!

This new season brings us to the spring of 1966 and Morse (Endeavour, played by Shaun Evans) has been recuperating from the gun shot wound he received at the end of Season One. Slowly he begins to pick up the pieces of his life and starts to form a routine again with Thursday ( Roger Allam).

The crimes and investigations are turned up a notch for this season and I found each one quite fascinating. I really try to focus on the details as Morse does so I can solve the crime with him but only once was I able to do that for episode three. Otherwise I was trying to figure them out until the very end.

I really enjoyed a new dynamic between Morse and Thurday. It seems like a healing and healthy relationship for Morse to have. He also strikes a romance with his neighbor, Monica Hicks who happens to be nurse and also a woman of color. Being 1966 it is interesting to see how they both manage their relationship although it seems she is more into him than he is into her. Or is that just Morse being Morse?

A Vintage Nerd, Vintage Blog, Period TV Shows, Endeavour, Retro Lifestyle Blog

The last episode of Season Two was the most difficult to watch because it told a story that involved major corruption and pedophilia. This episode also leaves us with Morse in jail. Good grief what a cliff hanger! I cannot say anymore but you must watch this season as soon as possible.

I don't know how you feel about this show but to me it feels like warm like a cup of tea on a cool morning. I just adore Morse and find how he sees and approaches life refreshing from the other characters I have seen on television.

Only the final episode of the this season is available on PBS which you can watch HERE. They tend not to leave episodes on there for too long. But you can also purchase it HERE on Amazon. I defiantly want to add this show into my dvd collection.

Right now I am trying to find access to Season Two of The Paradise, Marchlands, and Lightfields but so far no luck. Have any of you seen any of these??

Have you seen Season Two of Endeavour already? What did you think of the last episode?
