75 years of the Cannes Film Festival brings us back to more normal times. A celebration of art, talent, and film.
75 Years of Cannes Film Festival Party
The red carpets were filled with the world’s best film creators, actors, actress, and photographers. They all were dressed to the nines and ready to watch the top films of 2022.
The films created during a time of world wide struggles of war, refuges, pandemics, and shortages unseen in these days. They showed up the best to compete and remind us that human beings are resilient and move forward to bring us emotions, feelings, and life.
These films competed, some films released here on the world front of film, and film makers to spark the next great film.

Halloween Kills is a generational affair. Jamie Lee Curtis attends the red carpet in Los Angeles as her mother’s Psycho character, Marion Crane. The Halloween films spans three generations (more than 40 years) of Laurie Strode and Michael Myers.
Jamie Lee Curtis Halloween Kills Red Carpet
Halloween Series Synopsis
Fifteen years after murdering his sister on Halloween night 1963, Michael Myers escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois to kill again (IMBD).
Series Synopsis
Halloween Killsis the continuing saga of Myers and Strode in the next thrilling chapter of the Halloween Series. It is recommended to watch Halloween 2018 before heading to the theatre, Sean James (Hairstylist to the Stars).
Halloween Kills brings Curtis’ character, Laurie Strode, three generations together for a final confrontation with Myers (masked figure who has haunted Strode for four decades) on Halloween night.
Curtis states regarding the film, “It’s going to be very exciting. People will be shocked. People are going to be agitated by this movie, in a way that I think they’re not expecting. That to me makes a great sequel. . . To all those people that love these movies, Happy Halloween.” (EPK.TV)
Daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis and Mother, Janet Leigh SEAN JAMES PHOTO
Halloween Kills Styling (EXCLUSIVE)
Creating Curtis into Strode takes a team. Sean James, hairstylist for Curtis, takes this powerful beautiful woman from her strong representation of being “true to herself” to Strode, traumatized by Myers for decades.

Red Carpet Styling
Halloween Kills U.S. film screening, at the TCL Chinese Theatre is a costume party. Curtis dresses like her mother, Janet Leigh, in her famous character, Marion Crane, from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 film, Psycho. The styling did not miss a beat down to the wig created by James, using FHI products (see discount below). The struggle was real as wigs are in short supply because of the pandemic.
The search for Scarlett Johansson’s wig from the film Hitchcock was not located. The high and low search turns to a golden blonde colored wig. James states, “I could not find a golden wig anywhere. They kept showing me Marilyn Monroe wigs and platinum blonde wigs. Finally one was located that was as close as possible during this time.”
The wig was the wrong cut and texture. The next process was to cut and style the wig into the bubble (even Barbie has a wig that is the bubble style) style of her mother. James did his magic on the wig with FHI Heat Stylus High Altitude and FHI HEAT Platform Bounce Pro Curler to create the perfect look that Janet Leigh inspired in the 1960s.
The red carpet creation is completed with a bloody shower curtain.

Past Movie Styling
James has been doing Curtis’ hair since 1995. Curtis brought her daughter into Fred Segal Salon. She asked for James to do her daughter’s hair. Soon Curtis asked James, “What would you do with my hair?” James states, “I suggested we chop it all off. Then we had different versions of her hair.”
Halloween H2O we brought hair color to the shorter style. This change was a concern for Curtis. She was doing Activia Yogurt at the same time. It is important to stay true and honest to her audience and fans. Curtis was honest about her hair color. She was on Oprah stating the way Hollywood distorts imperfect beauty. The More Magazine article shows all the secrets of styling, stylus, and hairstyles as well as what Hollywood is and the falsification of people’s image.
The color change was a turn from her natural hair color. Making coloring difficult Curtis does not sit still for more than 20 minutes. The concept of processing color every three weeks to cover the natural gray was absurd to her. She hates having her hair colored.
Sean James Hair Stylist to the Celebrities
Halloween Kills Press
James says, “It is so exciting doing all of the press for the movie. Going to Venice Film Festival with Curtis for the world premiere, James Corden, Kelly Clarkson, and Rachel Ray Show. It is wonderful watching Curtis shine with this new movie. I cannot wait for everyone to see it. It is a fantastic horror film. It is really a wonderful reveal of the town of Haddonefield, Illinois. I can hardly wait for the third part, Halloween Kills.“
Excited to see this movie this weekend. You see your local theatre listings or go to Peacock TV for streaming options. Post your movie review here.

The Oscars® this year was a bit off and different from tradition. The times have changes and shifted since COVID-19. Film was an industry struck down but The Academy Awards took on the challenge and created an event that was elegant and entertaining in a time where it is much needed. My favorite films this year was The Octopus Teacher and The United States vs. Billie Holiday. What was your favorite film from the last year? Post your answer here.
The Golden Globes brings a night of entertainment, honesty about their issues, and COVID-19 friendly night by going by-costal and first responders attendees. The distance was felt but it was a cozy night at home for actors and audience.

Jamie Lee Curtis arrives at the 78th Annual Golden Globe Awards Hair Stylist Sean James
Golden Globes Hair Styling Tips By Sean James
Sean James, hair stylist to the stars, creates an exceptional look for Jamie Lee Curtis night on the red carpet and presentation. How James created the look he states, “The most stunning look definitely goes to Curtis hair by Sean James Hair. The dress styled by J Ross Girl makeup by Jo Strettell. How to get the look I used Stylus Hair Care high altitude for volume Bed Head by Tigi manipulator for texture and Stay Styled by Stylus Hair Care. Curtis takes the top look and styling for the evening, classic, and stunning.
Sean James Stylist to The Stars
James has exceptional pandemic hair tip, “put your mask on and go and see your hairstylist. If you want a salon to go back to get in and support your hairstylist, salons are on the brink of closing for good all over the country. It’s time, if you are going to the grocery store you are ok in the salon. If you are afraid to sit in the salon while your color develops you can go and sit in your car for the developing time.” We all need to get back to beauty for sure. Style for the day you want not the day you have.
Golden Globes Showtime
The first ever bi-coastal Golden Globes. The audience is first responders from New York and Los Angeles. What a. great night. As Sean James, hair stylist to Jamie Curtis, states, “I feel like we are all going to be OK!” It really did make it feel all will be well.
First winner had a little difficulty but was able to make his speech thanking the crew, and cast. John Boyega, winner of Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television is wearing track pants with his suit jacket and dress shirt. He did not expect to win this evening. Ben Stiller enjoys a perfect banana bread loaf he made during the pandemic on stage. Guess that is the food for the evening.
The 2021 Golden Globe Ambassadors are, Satchel and Jackson Lee, children of filmmaker and three-time Golden Globe nominee Spike Lee and producer and philanthropist Tonya Lewis Lee. Golden Globes honor Jane Fonda with the Cecil B. deMille Award, and Norman Lear with the Carol Burnett Award.
Lear started with the Cold Deep Comedy Hour. He woke people before people were woke. He is still making television at the young age of 98 years young. Lear states, “laughter add time one’s life.” Fonda, made her first film in 1960, Tall Story. She states “we are humans firsts. . . expand that tent so that everyone rises.”

I Care A Lot film by Netflix’s new movie starring Rosamund Pike. Rosmund Pike’s character Marla Grayson is one you want to hate and fight for during the movie, She is never afraid even in moments when she should be terrified.
I Care A Lot: Rosamund Pike as “Martha”.
I Care A Lot Synopsis
Grayson has found a way to earn a living legally by being a guardianship for elderly. She is strong, confident, and has the trust of many making the decisions for these elderly clients. Her office wall is display of many who she has guardianships over. Her career she has developed that is morally questionable but legal. She convince one doctor to turn over her “golden ticket” guardianship.
Dianne Wiest playing Jennifer Peterson appears perfect on paper for guardianship. She is single, no family, and has money. Grayson gains guardianship over Peterson. She begins to sell her belongings. Little does she know Peterson is connected to the Russian mob boss Roman Lunyov, played by Peter Dinklage.
The story plot then splits in many directions from you loving Grayson and cheering her on as a boss lady, to hating Grayson, and the criminal aspect. Grayson believe in this country you have to be brave, stupid, ruthless, and focused. Playing fair and scared gets you no where.
“Nasty people do terrible things in this wildly entertaining Netflix caper about guardianship fraud,” states, Jeannette Catsoulis from The NYTimes.
I Care A Lot: Rosamund Pike as “Martha” and Dianne Wiest as “Jennifer”.
I Care A Lot Power Struggle
J Blakeson, director of the film, moves this film from boss lady to one woman who will do all that she can to be very rich. The character development is strong in the film. The film becomes lost in the three separate films all tied together with the theme of crime, passion, and power.
Blakeson directs the change from Grayson being all powerful over Peterson to being the underdog. The power Grayson presents with is one of a powerful caring business woman. The power shifts back and forth between Grayson and Lunyov. The end they join their powers together.
There are time the film feels similar to many powerful strong women films but you are questioning yourself on the morality at the ease she takes everything legally.
I CARE A LOT (2021) Peter Dinklage as “Rukov” and Rosamund Pike as “Marla”.
I Care A Lot Are You Afraid?
Lunyov asks Grayson, “I am going to kill you now . . . you’re not afraid of death? Grayson answers, “Do you remember how scary it was in 1807? Me either because I was not alive yet. It will feel the same way when I am dead. Not even nothing why be scared of that.”
Her ability to not be afraid in the end gives her the win of being back in power. Legally making money being guardians with a large corporation gaining the wealth she always wanted in life. The twists and turns leaving some unpredictability in the plot.
In the end she remains ruthless, powerful, and someone who cares (so it appears).
Rosamund Pike is nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. The award season starts February 28, 2021 Golden Globe ceremony will air live coast to coast 5-8 p.m. PT/8-11 p.m. ET on NBC.

The Visit at Prescott Film Festival Romina Schwedler
The Visit is a day in the time of a visit with a mother (June Squibb) and son (Sean Maher). The story takes a moment in time for the son and develops a sequence of events that changes lives. The son must face the consequences of the events.
Schwedler’s attention to details in the film completes the story. She states, “every little detail, in the lighting, the wardrobe design, and every odd thing matters.” The juxtaposition of the story develops well with the attention to details.
Schwedler develops the story from a conversation with her father about her aunt. Her aunt experiences loss of most family and friends. Coping with the deep grief and loss her aunt develops elaborate stories regarding those she lost. Her techniques in film development here allow the audience to experience the emotions in the story.
The casting for the short film was “serendipitous,” she says. She approaches June Squibb, Oscar-nominated actress, at an award dinner in Los Angeles with a flash drive of the script. Sean Maher, Ben in the short film, heard about the project and appreciates June Squibb’s work. His agent contacted Schwedle in regards to working on the project. The casting provides a twist much like the film. Check local film festival events for screening.
