Big Eyes



True art story about the theft of authorship. Tim Burton reveals the story of art fraud that occurred in the US in the 50s. It's also an insight into the ugliness of a marriage gone wrong and the powerlessness of the 50s woman to some degree.

I remember that artwork lingering around in my childhood. It was mass produced.

Soundtrack by Lana Del Ray.

Second Hand Wedding


'Second Hand Wedding' is a New Zealand film. It gets off to a pretty rocky start and as one of the comments I read said, "The irony here as you begin to watch Second-Hand Wedding is that you feel as if you are watching a second-hand copy!! ". Stick with it though - it is full of treasures. The story is beautiful. I went to see it in the Stratford theatre for International Women's Day this week. The film shows a range of relationships and experiences and I would highly recommend it. Lots of laughs and a few tears. Margaret and David reviewed it here - At The Movies: Second Hand Wedding
