just another manic Monday BUT you wont wish it was Sunday! Why? Well because you can turn awful disgusting Mondays into something to look forward to. Today's Manic Monday is inspired by funky cool movies. These following movies will make you shiver with anticipation!


-Lars + the Real Girl
summary: On paper, a movie about a lonely man who falls in love with a mannequin sounds too chilly to be appealing. Yet the film manages to make audiences connect to the plastic doll, Bianca, thanks to a heartbreaking performance by an unrecognizable Gosling  as the titular Lars. Through Lars' apparent love for her, everyone in his small town not only comes to embrace his quirks, but also Bianca as a member of their community.
WHICH I PERSONALLY think is great because Ryan Gosling is acting in a totally different light where hes playing an introverted kind of creepy man.




-This is England
summary:Shaun is initiated into the skinhead group when the leader, Woody, feels sorry for him after a fight in school. Soon after, another member of the group, Combo, is released from prison; the ex-con begins rallying the support of his superiors for his nationalist and racist views, leaving Shaun torn.



-Brick
summary:The film's narrative centers on a hardboiled detective that takes place in a Californian suburb . Most of the main characters are high school students. The film draws heavily in plot, characterization, and dialogue from hardboiled classics, especially from Dashiell Hammett  The title refers to a block of heroin , compressed roughly to the size and shape of a brick.



-A Roman Holiday
summary :Princess Anne embarks on a highly publicized tour of European capitals. When she and her royal entourage arrive in Rome, she begins to rebel against her restricted, regimented schedule. One night Anne sneaks out of her room, hops into the back of a delivery truck and escapes her luxurious confinement. However, a sedative she was forced to take earlier starts to take effect, and the Princess is soon fast asleep on a public bench. She is found by Joe Bradley, an American newspaper reporter stationed in Rome. He takes her back to his apartment. The next morning Joe dashes off to cover the Princess Anne press conference, unaware that she is sleeping on his couch. Once he realizes his good fortune, Joe promises his editor an exclusive interview with the Princess.



-Night of the Living Dead (my personal favorite)
summary: Bickering siblings Johnny and Barbra are traveling by car to a rural cemetery, where they visit their father's grave. Johnny teases his sister's fear of the cemetery after dark, saying "They're coming to get you, Barbra!" They are approached by a pale-faced man who stumbles toward them and attacks Barbra. Johnny pulls the man off of Barbra and struggles with him, but is knocked unconscious and possibly dead after tripping and hitting his head violently on the edge of a gravestone. The man then pursues Barbra back to the car, but Barbra cannot start it because the keys are in Johnny's pocket. She takes the car out of gear and it begins to drift away on its own, but she accidentally steers it into a tree. She abandons the car and runs down a roadway to a nearby farmhouse, with the man still pursuing her. She discovers the house seemingly deserted, and the phone is out of order. Her attacker stumbles around the outside of the house looking for her, and is joined by several others. They all seem to be in a kind of trance, behaving in an animalistic way. Exploring the house further, Barbra makes a gruesome find at the top of the stairs: a human body that seems to have been partially devoured by something.



- {and since W. Anderson won best picture at the Golden Globes} The Grand Budapest Hotel
summary:A teenage girl visits the monument of the writer who penned the book, "The Grand Budapest Hotel". In 1968, that author was inspired to write the book when he visited that hotel, located in the European mountainous country formerly known as Zubrowka. Once a luxurious hotel, it, in 1968, has fallen on hard times. The author meets the then current owner, M. Zero Moustafa, who recounts the story of how he became the hotel's owner and why he holds onto it and keeps it open despite it obviously making him no money. Zero's story begins in 1932, when the hotel was in its golden era. Zero was the novice immigrant lobby boy, who, like all the other hotel staff, was under the guidance of M. Gustave H., the devoted concierge. Gustave aimed to please, he giving the guests whatever they wanted, especially the wealthy blonde women. The story largely revolves around one of those women, the wealthy Madame Céline Villeneuve Desgoffe-und-Taxis - better known as Mme. D. - her opportunistic son Dimitri, the bequeathing of a valuable painting called "Boy with Apple" to Gustave, the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death which is initially pinned on Gustave, and the attempts of Zero, his girlfriend - a baker's assistant named Agatha - and others to clear Gustave's name while Dimitri does whatever he needs to get what he believes is rightfully his, namely the painting.
