Naomi Campbell seems to have become Soviet period secret agent who torture Russian prisoner in last photoshoot for "Interview" magazine by Mert&Marcus ( inspiration is film "Eastern Promises") (interesting that currently she dates Russian millionaire).
On one of these shocking photos you can see prisoner with typical prison tats with words "Пусть будет сном что пережито" ("Let all I have lived through be as if it were a dream”) (across chest just like hero of "Eastern Promises" played by Vigo Mortensen had - I didn't watch movie yet as think it will be quiet hard one to watch).

Photoshoot is so dark, fetish and violent but really amazing, and Naomi is still so good..

Movie: "AVATAR" (2009)

Good fairy-tale of 21st century (in my childhood I was so impressed by all that clay monsters - just remember "Clash of the Titans" of 1981) and look at this - great! We thought "The Lord of the Rings"is apotheosis of CG movie...No, Avatar did all that frodos and company.

Liked: Sigourney Weaver, who was at the beginning of this sort of movies starring in "Alien", was offered to play blue monster in this movie in 2009 - liked the fact itself. Liked main heroine - her facial expressions and gestures are truly alive (beautiful and wild - Pocahontas of SF movie as my friend said). Also monsters appearing in this film are something - each of them is mixture of animal, bird and exotic insect in one...
Didn't like: but if you imagine it all played by old clay monsters of 80s, you`ll find that the plot itself is very typical, very-very typical for Hollywood movies (I think TITANIC by the same director James Cameron made viewers feel more strong feelings and made think more, than his new work).
Nevertheless, remember - don`t kill fluorescent insects - they may be sacred spirits!

Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus "The Nanny Diaries"

My "books reading &DVD watching" marathon continues.. 1week and half and I will start working (I suppose till late every day..), so I try to enjoy my last days of summer vacation.
This novel is sort of entertaining mass literature and I am sure everyone who likes "Devil Wears Prada" will find this story interesting also, as it resembles very much...Young girl who works as nanny in super-high class NY family and has to go through all kind of indignity from Mrs.X - her despotic employer....
Story is very funny (you can find a lot of scenes which make you smile and laugh), also like "Devil Wears Prada" it is very "girly" book - reader is supposed to feel sort of ecstasy, reading passage about heroine appearing "holding olive Birkin" in "her green Prada pumps" (for those who are not in - sometimes you will have to check net for all those brands and their prices to understand feelings of heroine)..But as a whole it is very relaxing and funny book - which also made you think about what is really important in family relationships.

Movie: "The Shining" (1980)

Classic of horror films, directed by Stanley Kubrick (original story by Stephen King) with great Jack Nicholson as main hero. Stephen King was one of my favourite authors - first I read his novel at about 13-14 years old and it impressed me so much - I used to switch off lights in the room and read his books in the light of only one stand lamp - just to create atmosphere of "fear"..
Stephen Kings novels usually have "happy end", such kind of "happy end horrors".. Liters of blood, dead men, ghosts and other crap, but main heroes usually escape from all of this in the end- so you always feel some kind of relief after reading..
Film is amazing - all classical stuff you can see in all these Hollywood horrors now - empty hotel, twin girls with words "Come on , play with us!" appearing in front of little boy in corridor, ghosts who live in their parallel world and interfere, housefather who eventually drives mad and ends up hunting his family with chopper...
Nicholson has such amazing face of mad man (in other films either) that you feel fear just looking at him, even if he doesn't do or say anything...
Actress playing his wife in the film seems so damn silly, that if it were me I would still chop her..
And I think the scene when river of blood overflowing hotel corridor in slow-motion is one of the best scenes in modern horror films

Movie: "Boobs Volleyball" (2009)

Funny Japanese comedy "Boobs Volleyball" ("Oppai bare") (2009).

Typical story which resembles another famous comedy "Water Boys" and million of such kind of American movies - group of school boys who never played volleyball and are considered full losers made school team and tried to win games, as their cute teacher promised to show them her boobs if they do it. Typical plot, some funny moments, a bit sob-stuff, like in all Japanese movies..
Plus 2 good points of this film - first is that all takes place apparently in 60-70s, so you can feel atmosphere of that time in wonderful scenery which seems to be constructed with paying attention to mere details- clothes, magazines they read that time, furniture, movie posters. And music selection in this movie is another its charm!
The second point is that famous Japanese actress Haruka Ayase plays "oppai-sensei" - one of my favorite actress in Japan (which is famous not only as actress but also as so-called "gravure-idol" - girls who do swimsuit modelling for Japanese glossy mens magazines).
