Just got back to the office from North Carolina to see a lawyer and thought I would share this with you: Los Angeles’ iconic Getty museum will be showing an espisode of “Project Runway” filmed at the museum.
They are truly the art source over there. It will be presented free of charge. What a piece of work. Reminds me of that artistic furniture. In the reality show’s episode featuring Getty’s Art Museum, fashion designers were challenged to create designs inspired by the character of the museum. L. A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has a spot in the episode, which is hosted by Cindy Crawford and Heidi Klum, who act as judges for the contestant’s fashion designs.
Switching gears for a momment, if you require a leading
North Carolina Furniture provider then take a peak at this firm. For their part, they have been handling design and custom Furniture orders for some time now and are good. They also feature Lorts, leathercraft, designer lighting as well as Shabby Chic Furniture made in North Carolina.
A Getty Art Museum spokeswoman has said the museum hopes to boost the Getty’s local fan visitors to Facebook. The visitors jumped from 12,000 to 14,000 already, earlier this week. As an aside if you are looking for some art then please take a look at this particular resource.Following the screening, a panel discussion with art and fashion speakers will include an editor from Marie Claire magazine, and the former curator from the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. All in all, it should be fun—at the very least—visually. Knight says that the film has been met by a “rapturous reception” since it screened in film festivals in New York and Toronto. It is a real piece of film artwork indeed. Now it is time to leave the office. All in all, Dallas also has a art and furniture source exhibit I believe.
I just got back from Atlanta after seeing an injury attorney there and thought I would report on the latest movie news. In legal news out of Europe, specifically Switzerland, an attorney (actually multiple attorneys according to the reports) for acclaimed film director Roman Polanski have apparently filed for an an appeal (no shocker there) with a local court today in an attempt to fight his arrest on a United States initiated warrant regarding his rape of a 13-year-old girl in 1977. As it now stands, the Swiss Federal Penal Court stated that it would make a decision on the appeal within a short time period, perhaps even in a matter of weeks, according to the online reports from their own official site. Polanski, 76, was arrested over the weekend on a Untied States fugitive warrant in Zurich, while he was on his way to accept a film award. He is the director of a number of movies including ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ starring Mia Farrow, ‘Chinatown’ starring Jack Nicholson, ‘Frantic’ starring Harrison Ford, ‘The Ninth Gate’ starring Johnny Depp’ and more recently ‘The Pianist’ which was a world war 2 drama starring Oscar winner Adrian Brodie. All in all, he has his warrent for fleeing America on the night of his sentencing for the charge of raping a 13-year-old girl, to whom he also was accused of giving drugs and alcohol, and sodomizing, which of course can cause injury. Since he fled the country he has been able to continue his movie directing career in Europe, mainly in France, where he has been given a safe haven up to this point in time. As an aside if you are in Atlanta and find that you need a Atlanta injury attorney then may I suggest this particular resource, very good for both accident and various injury cases. This is really one of the best tax attorney that I know of.
In general, Europeans do not consider his crimes to be quite as serious as North Americans do, at least according to the reports I have read. This is painting with a broad brush, however, since this is only a very general assessment. Some of his supporters, such as actress Angelica Huston are biased in my opinion because they may have wanted to remain on his good side considering his status as a movie director. His attorney has so far refused to speculate on how long he might be behind bars.
Of the major classics to be identified with the island of Kauai, one of the most prominent was the 1964 production ‘South Pacific’ which coined the phrase ‘Bali Hai’ often used in the real estate scene when naming condominiums and so on. It was filmed partially at the scenic Lumahai beach (Mitzi Gaynor singing there) as well as the slippery slide falls in Kilauea town. It is perhaps the island’s “signature film’ along with the 60’s production ‘Blue Hawaii’ starring Elvis Presley, which was filmed partially at the lovely Hanalei Bay resort area on the north shore of Kauai and near the Wailua river over on the Eastern shore. There is some nice Kauai real estate in that area of the island. The monster flick’King Kong’ (both the 1933 classic as well as the 1985 version starring Jeff Bridges) was also filmed here, not surprisingly considering the perfect scenery. You may also remember the 1992 romantic comedy ‘Honeymoon in Vegas’ starring Nick Cage, Sarah Jessica Parker and James Caan. That one was filmed mainly
in Kapaa town and Hanalei. Other movies which have been filmed on Kauai include the dark comedy ‘Throw Momma from the Train’ starring Danny Devito,
the kids and parents comedy ‘North’ starring Bruce Willis and Dan Ackroyd, the 2002 adventure release ‘Captain Nemo’, the Branden Fraser starred live action cartoon ‘George of the Jungle’ filmed near Anahola, the world War 2 drama ‘Dragonfly’ starring Kevin Costner and the 2003 action flick ‘Tears of the Sun’ starring Bruce Willis.
Other notable films include the Peter Pan inspired 1992 pirates adventure tale ‘Hook’ starring Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman and Julia Roberts,
the 1998 romance film ‘Six Days and seven Nights’ starring Harrison Ford and Anne Heche, the adventure film ‘Planet of the Apes starring Charlton Heston as well as the 1995 thriller ‘Outbreak’
which starred Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman and Donald Sutherland, among others in an ensemble cast.
Many of the biggest stars of the last century have made films here such as John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Jack Lemmon, Howard Keel, Dorothy Lamour, Robert Stack, James Garner, Kathleen Turner, Billy Crystal and Jessica Lange
hile mostly known for it’s movies, Kauai has also been the setting for a number of television programs like “Gilligan’s Island plus “Baywatch Hawaii.”
Hawaii in general, and the beautiful garden island of Kauai in particular, are favorite destinations for Hollywood film crews. Perhaps it is because it is home to some of the nicest real estate, or perhaps the nicest people, that draws tinseltown there. Or perhaps it is just because the industry’s director’s, actors and other production crew simply want to spend time there while they
are working. There are certainly less relaxed places to work.
Films as diverse as ‘Waterworld’ starring Kevin Costner and ‘Pearl Harbor’ starring Ben Affleck have been filmed in the state. The 2002 James Bond flick ‘Die Another Day’ was partially filmed in the state and local surf legend Laird Hamilton On the little island of Kauai alone, some fifty major productions have been filmed on the island in the last fifty-odd years.
Pretty impressive resume. That list of films consists of everything from westerns to a Vietnam war movie. It’s history
of movies is so rich, in fact that there is even a thriving ‘Hollywood Film’ tour business on the island and some real estate agents have been
known to espouse the fact that a particular property overlooks the location of a particular movie location. By the way if you are in the state and need to rent a Nissan vehicle, allow me to suggest
the Hawaii Nissan dealership at King Windward Nissan. it is quite possibly the best, or at least one of the best such Nissan dealerships in the state.
Among the movies which have been filmed on Kauai including the Steven Spielberg 1981 classic ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ (filmed partially near the Anahola Mountains as well as the swing bridge of kapana)
and another of his mega-blockbusters ‘Jurassic Park’ (as well as both Jurassic Park sequels). The later was filmed in 1992 and Hurrican Iniki struck the island just as production was finishing up.
