Andrews Art

Since my last post on here I have done a lot of new things including start my own Etsy store. Andrewsart.etsy.com . I am very proud of the work I have been doing and happy that I have been able to make some sales. I enjoy my paintings and I think I have for sure been able to hone my skills a bit and start creating things of a better quality. I have created a FB page for people who like to sell or buy online (ETSY Sellers!) check it out if you like and in the meantime here are some pieces I have recently completed and are for sale in my store.

It’s been a great year for television and I have enjoyed many hours of TV. Here is my list of my favorites form the year. Let me know what you think
1. Survivor

For the past 13 years this has been my favorite show and once again it proves to be another amazing year. First we had another Fans Vs Favorites season which was super fun an enjoyable then they introduced the wonderful twist of Blood vs. water where returning players play side by side with their loved ones, Two great seasons from this amazing show.
Stand out episode: “Out On a Limb”
2. Bob Burgers

I have only discovered this show recently and I simply feel in love. The Belchers are an amazing, quirky, funny little family who own a burger joint. In my opinion this is hands down the funniest show of the year.
Stand out episode: “A River Runs Through Bob”
3. Game of Thrones

Three letters is all you need to describe one of the biggest and most shocking moments in television history…… WTF… this show keep getting better and better this season upped the ante with bears, Dragons , Creepy invisible men and lots and lots of killing.
Stand out episode: The Rains of Castamere”

I really didn’t want to run into any of this

Don’t get me wrong I was well aware I was not going to be running into this

Because lets be honest no one is as hot a David Beckham.

I had been speaking to a guy and he had sent me a picture and he looked normal. He was talking like a normal person, I didn’t sense any pedophile tendencies I didn’t hear any creepy murderous undertones. I felt like this guy might be a good guy. So I decided to meet up with him for a drink.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE ANXIOUS… I was sweating and having slight heart palpations. I was just getting over a cold and was till hacking a bit every now and then.

I almost ran.. I almost bolted right from the bar.

But I didn’t and slightly sweaty holding in nervous gas and wearing a shartigan I met Scott for the 1st time …. Could not have been happier, I met a wonderful, nice, kind and not creepy man who also happened to be very good looking. We have almost been together a year and I have never been happier … Love you baby.

James Bond:The Man with The Golden Gun

#2 on the James bond list is The Man with The Golden Gun Staring Roger Moore as James Bond, Christopher Lee as Francisco Scaramanga, Britt Ekland as Mary Goodnight, Maud Adams as Andrea Anders and Hervé Villechaize as Nick Nack.

The ninth outing for Mr James Bond , has him battling Mr. Scaramanga, a creepy assassin who kills people with a golden bullet.side note Mr. Scaramanga also has a third nipple 😉

This movie is more camp and fun than any of the prior films , Roger Moore always has a bit more fun as bond than Sean ever did. I end up liking them just as much but for different reasons. The Man with the Golden Gun is fun and am enjoyably film four Stars

Best Moements
– Mr.Scaramangas Hideout
– Nick Nack
– Mary Goodnight and Andrea Anders are HOTT HOTT

Worst
-The Third Nipple
– Bonds attack on Andrea Anders
– J.W. Pepper

James Bond: Goldfinger

 

 

In preperation for Skyfall i will be rewatching all the prior James Bond films. First on the list is Goldfinger, Staring Sean Connery as James Bond, Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore, Shirley Eaton as Jill Msterson, Harold Sakata as Oddjob And Gert Forbe as Auric Goldfinger. 

This is the third bond film (1964) and its considered to be the best . Its cetinally on the list of the top five for me. 

Best Moments (Spoilers)

– Jill Mastersons dead body covered in gold in one of the most iconic images of film history 

– Oddjobs deadly bowler 

– Goldfingers Laser ” Do you expect me to talk , why no Mr bond I expect you to die”

– Anyone named Pussy Galore 

 

Worst moment 

– Auric Goldfingers death, it was dumb and silly 

 

Gold finger is one of my favorites, its fun got lost of action and some of the best characters .

 

 

Five Stars for Goldfinger

CBS make this Happen

Hitchcock’s best

Alfred Hitchcocks best films

I have just recently watched To Catch a theif for the first time and thought it might be a fun idea to catholicize my favorite Hitchcock films , I am also making it my goal to watch all of his movie as he is my favorite director . So here is my top ten 😉

10: The 39 Steps

Its been a really long time since I have seen this so it does not make it too high , this will be one I want to re watch

9: Family Plot

This is Hitchcock’s last film and it was not very good in terms of story and suspense . It was an alright film but nothing spectacular .

8: To Catch a Thief

How can you not like a film with the most beautiful woman ever EVER EVER EVER in it. Grace Kelly is simply stunning in this film about a former thief , the awesome Cary Grant who decides to find a copycat thief to clear his own name. the whole movie takes place in France and its just light , fun and beautiful.

7:Marnie
Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery star in this film about a woman who is for lack of a better term a little crazy , enjoyable film not one of the best

6: Vertigo

Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak star is this film about an obsessed detective who’s afraid of heights , awesome score and very suspenseful. Also can be a bit slow

5: Rope

Jimmy Stewart again ahaha, this time he is a teacher who goes stop his students house for dinner, only to realize they have a body hidden under the table , this film is unique as its all show from one camera and one angle, super suspenseful very very good.

4: North by Northwest
Cray Grant and Eva Marie Saint star is this spy movie , Cary gets wrongly accused of murder and sets out on a trail to clear his name in this film of mixed identities and government espionage . it’s a fun fast paced spy movie with one of the most nerve wracking final scenes ever filmed.

3:Rear Window

Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly , in this murder mystery , Jimmy is a Photographer with a broken leg who takes to spying on his neighbors throughout the day to pass the time. He suspects his neighbor of killing his wife and with his beautiful girlfriend and his nurse they set about f=to figure out the truth . This si probably on of the most suspenseful Hitchcock films ever.

2: The Birds
Tippi Hedren and Jessica Tandy

Birds go crazy in a small town and start to attack everyone , this movie is soooo old but to this day I don’t like any large grouping of birds.

1: Psycho

Anthony Perkins , Vera Miles and Janet Leigh

This is the best , its my favorite movie of all time and what I consider to be the best movie ever made . Its two different stories in one, the first being a movie about a woman who steals money and runs away with it . The second being about a hotel run by a creepy man who loves his mother a whole lot. If you have not seen this movie you should its simply brilliant.

I have a lot more Hitchcock to see but I am making a list and going for it 😉
