LoveList: March Edition...




Under the sea.  Under the sea.
Darling it's better, Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day,
Out in the sun they slave away.
While we devotin', Full time to floatin'
Under the sea!  

The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of Gustave H, a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting and the battle for an enormous family fortune -- all against the back-drop of a suddenly and dramatically changing continent.  "Typically stylish but deceptively thoughtful, TGBH finds Wes Anderson once again using ornate visual environments to explore deeply emotional ideas." (RT)  It's easily my favorite Wes Anderson flick yet!  Check in today!


Perfect for gym workouts, long commutes, cleaning the house or just anytime you want to listen to the latest from one of the original queens of pop.  Fantastic new album filled with ear candy. Favorites tracks include: Into the Blue, Sexercise, Kiss Me Once and Fine



With the help of a friend, I self-diagnosed myself that I've been suffering from Plantar Fasciitis for the past while, but it has progressively been getting worse.  He recommended this amazing green Super Feet shoe inserts after a doctors recommendation and personal painful foot experience. Thus saving the day, or rather days.  I don't know how I would have survived without them. Thanks Charlie!


The toughest meanest harshest judging panel on any Reality TV competition is back to critique the ink in Season 4 of this Spike TV favorite.  Oh and Hi there Chris Nunez! 


Drag superstar Coco Peru (you may recognize her from last month's #9) had me in stitches this month with her she-larious Let's Play Grand Theft Auto 5 viral video.  Watch here slap smart phones out of Griffith Park visitors, hire hookers, take pictures of Muscle Beach bodybuilders and more HERE Now I need some Tension Tamer.


Yay science!


American Hustle tells the story of brilliant con man, Irving Rosenfeld and his equally cunning and seductive British partner, who are forced to work for a wild FBI agent.  He pushes them into a world of Jersey power-brokers and mafia that's as dangerous as it is enchanting. A New Jersey political operator gets caught between the con-artists and Feds. Irving's unpredictable wife could be the one to pull the thread that brings the entire world crashing down. American Hustle defies genre, hinging on raw emotion, and life and death stakes.  "Riotously funny and impeccably cast, it compensates for its flaws with unbridled energy and some of David O. Russell's most irrepressibly vibrant direction." (RT)


... Or was this my favorite viral video of the month.
#OurPresidentIsAwesome
Watch it HERE.

Admit it, you came for Danny Roberts (Yes, that Danny Roberts)
...It's okay. So did I!


Inside Llewyn Davis follows a week in the life of a young folk singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961. Guitar in tow, huddled against the unforgiving New York winter, he is struggling to make it as a musician against seemingly insurmountable obstacles-some of them of his own making. (Here kitty kitty!)  It may been unjustly overlooked during awards season (For shame!) but I loved it!  "Smart, funny, and profoundly melancholy, Inside Llewyn Davis finds the Coen brothers in fine form." (RT)  Plus, as an added bonus, it comes with a pretty killer soundtrack!


I first heard of this band late last year from a song they had on the Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack.  I loved it, but with their latest release of Voices the electric rock duo are my Official New Band Discovery of the Month!  Favorites tracks Include:  Fall In LoveHowling at the MoonBlack Out Days and Nothing But Trouble.  


The world is a big ol' crazy interesting place and documentaries give us an eye into that as they entertain and inform. This month I binged on all kinds of topics ranging from Titanic to Tonya Harding, in addition to a whole bunch of fantastic gay docs.  If you have Netflix be sure to check out the Documentaries section.  It's one of my favorites.


After completing Season 2 a while back, I needed a zombie break.  Well, this month I dove back into The Walking Dead's Season 3 with both feet.  Mega late night Netflix binging to the max.  The hashtag #JustOneMoreEpisode never rang so true.
