At the VIENNalle// Lifestyle, event,


October or the fall season is one I look forward to for different reasons. Two special events are held this  time of year. Firstly the Long night at the Museum is usually held, but not this year. The other event that is happening next week is the film festival Viennalle.

As you can guess, if you read my other posts, I am a movie lover. I particularly like foreign films, plus others. The classics to comedy, action to mystery.   Perhaps because we would as a family go to the drive ins and see the latest films. I can remember it being such fun. So after that movies became a part of growing up. 

There are a few I would like to see but with the situation as it is, think  I will skip this years event. But no problem, I can get into the spooky mood and see some Halloween films instead.


5 MOVIES TO GIVE YOU A THRILL



One i like is an older one with Johnny Depp,  Sleepy Hollow.  A classic but well made. There is also one called Secret Window he stars in, written by Stephen King. (I am not a big King fan) but this one is a spooky thriller. 

Perhaps the other films he made though not really halloween related are those Pirate ones

Hocus Pocus is definitely one most of us might have seen,  Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica parker together as witches is something to see and make you laugh.  A good family film .

Dracula,  is another old classic. 

Practical Magic, Sandra Bullock and Nicole kidman, together  as sisters with a past family secret that brings them troubles.  Drama, suspense and love.



What are some films you like to watch or see  during halloween?

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

 Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show!  Of course there were other stars on the red carpet  but no outstanding dresses .  Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment.  One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan  about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
