Brad Pitt started gaining points in the style game a long time ago. And of all the A-list Hollywood actors, Brad Pitt is the one who has truly proved that style has no age limit, which is why I named him this month’s “Man of Style.” What was the first movie you saw that starred Brad Pitt? Was it Thelma & Louise? What about A River Runs Through It? Or was it Fight Club? Some of my other favorite movies that he starred in are {in no particular order}: Meet Joe BlackMr. & Mrs. SmithMoneyballTroyThe Tree of LifeThe Curious Case of Benjamin […]

Woman of Style: Julia Roberts

With her trademark smile, Julia Roberts burst onto the scene as Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman, and she hasn’t looked back. The two films I remember seeing her in before her Pretty Woman fame was Satisfaction (1988) and Mystic Pizza (1988). Julia Roberts once said about her success, “I’m just a girl from a little town in Georgia who had this giant, absurd dream.” (Source: IMDb) She played clarinet in the band in school and after graduating from high school, left Georgia for New York to become an actress. Well, this girl from the little town of Symrna, Georgia, has done some pretty amazing things […]

And like go after it with everything you’ve got no matter how much it takes.” – Angelina Jolie Photo Source: thewellnesschoicecenter.com Angelina Jolie has gotten a bad rap over the years, especially since becoming involved with Brad Pitt shortly after their movie, Mr. & Mrs. Smith. You can be “Team Aniston” or “Team Jolie”, but which ever side you’re on, you’ve got to admit […]

A New Look at Life Through the Eyes of Benjamin Button

I recently watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and it gave me a new look at life and how we (or more specifically, I) live our lives. It tells the story of Benjamin Button (played by Brad Pitt), a man who starts aging backwards with bizarre consequences. The movie is based on the short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. A storyline summary on IMDb states: “On the day that Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans, elderly Daisy Williams (nee Fuller) is on her deathbed in a New Orleans hospital. At her side is her adult daughter, Caroline. Daisy asks Caroline to read to her […]
