Fruitvale Station - I had an intense headache after watching this the other night, and it lasted all night long and into the morning, and I wouldn't have it differently because this movie was so good. It's about a young man named Oscar, who is trying to get his life together, and it takes place in Oakland, California in 2009 and the early morning hours of 2010. After watching Fruitvale Station, you'll wonder why the movie or any of the actors were not nominated for Academy Awards. It's that good, and Michael B. Jordan, the actor who plays Oscar deserved to be among the best actor nominees. As a movie, this was certainly better than Her and Nebraska, and on par with Philomena, Captain Phillips, Gravity and American Hustle. This year was a year of tough stories and strong people, and Fruitvale Station can take it's place near the top even though it went unrecognized by the cool kids. And by the way, cool kids, where were Lone Survivor and Don Jon on your list? Nine nominees and Lone Survivor not among them? Huh?
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
