Stanley Kubrick Exhibit At LACMA

In Los Angeles, we are lucky enough to enjoy the best of filmmaking with movie studios, award shows, and film premieres.  Over the last five months, there has been an incredible exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) honoring the work of filmmaker Stanley Kubrick. It runs through June 30 and it has been on my list all winter long.

I finally made it out to the museum on Sunday and I have to tell you, it was worth the wait. The exhibit featured Kubrick's works from The Shining, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Spartacus, and more. From famous movie props to a look at his use of music in film, it was a fascinating perspective of his mindset as a creator. The exhibit easily eclipsed the Tim Burton exhibit at LACMA from several years ago.

If you happen to be in LA over the next few months, make this exhibit a priority. Tickets are $20 or free for members of the museum. For more information, visit the LACMA website.

Media Mondays

Hanging under the Levitated Mass at LACMA

How was your weekend?  I had a busy, but relaxing weekend hitting one of my favorite restaurants in LA, Susan Feniger's Street, seeing The Croods, and adventuring over to LACMA for the Stanley Kubrick exhibit. I will share photos of the exhibit later in the week.

In the meantime, here are all of my media spots from last week:

It's A Wrap:  Clevver Movies host Erin Darling invited me to chat about the latest movie hot topics, so I joined the discussion on Evil Dead with Ryan Turek and Joshua Ovenshire...and read the comments. I guess a few people liked my blue shoes...ah, YouTube comments.

Cocktails and Conversation:  I was back with my ladies for a full hour this time and we discussed everything from Halle Berry's pregnancy to Kim Kardashian's fashion choices to Amanda Bynes' breakdown. (I think there are some undiagnosed mental issues happening here, so I don't want to make light of her situation.) Listen to the episode here.
