Dream Thought #42

"By accepting who you are and all of who you are. You can be free.
Freedom is power"
- Ophelia Powers(Frances Conroy) to Patience Phillips (Halle Berry) in Catwoman

Happy Halloween

Greetings. I'm Constable Ichabod Crane of
New York. You may ask why I am here?

My friend, Shell is a new mom, as you know. Her son,
Jacob is doing well. Almost to 3 pounds now.
She has her fingers crossed perhaps he will
be home for Thanksgiving. Since Shell is busy,
I naturally offered to take over her
Halloween post.

I must admit. Before I came to Sleepy Hollow,
I didn't believe in Ghouls or Goblins. Especially,
Headless Horseman! Alas, my eyes have been opened.
My own mother, a child of Nature, perhaps had
she lived long enough would of taught me more
about the magic of this night: Halloween.

Truthfully, the magic goes beyond this night.
From All Souls Day to Dios De Los Muertos. The doorways
between our world of the living and the dead are
open. It's not a time to be afraid. A time to
honor our ancestors. To light a candle, remember
a favorite story of a loved one, or even ask
for guidance from your departed ones. Our
dream world is a place where we can always
find those who we love again until
we join them in the hereafter.

It is getting late my friends. My beloved Katrina
is waiting for me. I must not tarry. On behalf of
myself and Shell, wishing you a wonderful Halloween.

Farewell to November

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I did, too.
I even got to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
on Saturday. It was really good.

Then my weekend kind of went downhill after that. You know
what when things get bumpy, you just have to ride it out.
Which is what I'm doing now.

On the whole, November has been a month of deep revelations
and healing.

I asked Judy and Gene to sing out November for all of us.
This is from one of my faves: Summer Stock (1950.) To me,
Judy and Gene are luminous on screen together

Movie and TV list for Halloween weekend

Halloween is two days away. The t.v and movies is
filled with Halloween themed movies. A lot of it for me
is slash and gore which I get tired of. Maybe some
of you do too.

Here is my off the top of my head, very short movie
and tv list of things you may want to watch over
the weekend. It is filled with ghosts, vampires, magic
and fantasy. Some of these I have talked about before,
I feel they deserve repeating.

Sleepy Hollow (1999)- Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci
are lovely in this; It is full of beautiful and dark
fantasy.

Queen of The Damned (2002) - Aaliyah rocks as Akasha and
Stuart Townsend is a great Lestat.

Phantom of the Opera (2004) - Beautiful music, costumes,
Gothic fantasy and Gerard Butler.

Dracula 2000 (2000) - only if you really love Gerard Butler like me!

Beauty and The Beast (1987-1990)- The first two seasons are the best
which showcases the love of Catherine and Vincent in a magical and
modern take of the fairy tale.

Buffy, The Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)- love this show.
My favorite are the first three seasons. Especially the
love between Buffy and Angel.

Constantine (2005) - Keanu Reeves as a world weary
Supernatural Detective. It is dark and satisfying.

The Lake House (2006)- Keanu and Sandra Bullock reunited
with a romance separated by time.

Somewhere in Time (1980)- I have done two posts so far
dedicated to one of my favorite movies. Christopher Reeve
and Jane Seymour are pure magic in this film.

Portrait of Jennie (1948)- Jennifer Jones is Jennie and
Joseph Cotten is the artist who meets her on a snowy
winter night. There begins a romance that defy Time itself.

The Enchanted Cottage (1945) - A magical cottage gives a
lonely woman and a scarred veteran a chance for true love.

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947) - A widow moves into a house
haunted by the formidable Capt. Gregg (Rex Harrison).
A truly Haunting romance.

Supernatural (2005-Present) - This is one of my favorite
current t.v shows. Two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester on
the road as Hunters fighting every thing from Vampires to Angels
to save humanity. The highlight of the series is the relationship
of the brothers. Family above everything is their motto.


Halloween can encompass much more than blood and guts.
To me Halloween is a time "Where anything is possible and
nothing is quite what it seems". A favorite line
of mine from an episode of Beauty and The Beast.

I know there are movies and films I left off. Please share
in the comments more film and t.v. suggestions.

Have a great Halloween weekend. I'll be back on Halloween
for a truly magical inspired post.

A Walk With Love and Death

Thank you all for your wishes
on me getting well soon. I'm
still not well yet. I'm on the
mend.

Last week on The Fox Movie
channel, I saw: A Walk with
Love and Death directed by John
Huston in 1969.What drew me to the film,
it marks the film debut of Anjelica
Huston. Who was only 17 years old at
the time. I'm always fascinated to
see an actor's film debut. Even though
it's her first effort, you can see
the flashes of the strong Academy Award
winning actor she would become.

The film is set in France during
Hundred Years war. A student
named Heron (Assi Dayan) wants
to see the Sea. The tide of war
brings him to a chance encounter
to a noblewoman named Claudia
(Anjelica Huston). Under the
constant threat of war, their
love blooms.

Here is a trailer for you. Enjoy.
I'll be back on Sunday for my
400th post.

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day

I had to wait two months, I finally got
my copy of Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
from my local library.I missed it when it
came out in the movies last year. It is a
delightful movie. Full of comedy, romance, fun.

Frances McDormand plays Guinevere Pettigrew,
a London governess who has a habit of being
too outspoken though she has a good heart.
She is tossed out of her latest job. A series
of events leads Miss Pettigrew to meet the
the glam Delysia LaFosse (Amy Adams); and,
gets swept up into Delysia's life finding
out that one day can change a life forever.

Oh, the clothes, the furniture and the music.
I love 40's music and fashions!!

If you need a pick me up or want to unplug
from the holiday merry go around. Watch
Miss Pettigrew lives for a Day. You will
be enchanted, trust me.

For all you Pushing Daisies fan, Lee Pace
is in it too! Truly, it's stock full of great
actors. Frances and Amy play their parts to
perfection.

Of course, here is a trailer to whet the
appetites. This is the kind of movie
I like to do. Uplifting and full of fun.
