Cold + Rain + Sunday afternoon= Netflix Documentary Marathon

Woke up to a rainy Sunday morning here in Southern California. Grabbed my laptop, curled up in bed and hit 'play' on my Netflix instant queue list. Todays movie marathon runs the gamut of fashion, art, journalism, music and interoirs:


This documentary tells the story of the husband-and-wife team of Charles and Ray Eames, widely considered America's most important designers
 

NEW YORK IN THE FIFTIES
It was a powerful time in New York City, as the bohemian movement unfolded and changed the beat of the city. The cast of characters interviewed for this fascinating documentary (based on writer Dan Wakefield's memoirs) reads like a "Who's Who" of the decade


Originally only superficially a chronicle of Edie Sedgwick's days at Andy Warhol's Factory, Ciao! Manhattan has become one of the most insightful looks at New York's "Silver Sixties" period and the horrible fallout that followed


With the release of "A Night at the Opera" in 1975, Queen catapulted into the rock 'n' roll mainstream and broke new ground with the wildly inventive single "Bohemian Rhapsody." This installment of Classic Albums series examines the creative process behind the landmark recording.

Michelle as Marilyn: The blue eyed bombshell in B&W


Earlier this afternoon, The Moviephone blog released the first look at the new poster for the upcoming film: My Week With Marilyn. The image for the print was captured by French born, New York based photographer, Brigitte Lacombe.  The movie stars Michelle Williams as the Hollywood icon during her 1957 trip to London while filming The Prince and the Showgirl.  The film was awarded centerpiece gala (a HUGE kudos) during the 2011 New York Film Festival just a few weeks ago and hits select theaters nationwide on November 23rd.
