A Series of Unfortunate Events

We established last month that my favorite costume designer is Colleen Atwood in my Tim Burton post. I hadn't really looked into other movies she had done but I stumbled across one on Friday night. One of my friends let me raid her DVD collection and I grabbed A Series of Unfortunate Events. I had read all the books in middle school and high school but had no desire to see the movie... until Friday. I popped it in and so many elements of this movie made it AMAZING. First thing I noticed was the cast. Meryl Streep, Jennifer Coolidge, Craig Ferguson, and Catherine O' Hara were just some of my personal favorites. Their parts were pretty small but really important to the book's story. Then the set of the movie. It was very similar to Tim Burton's world in some of his darker movies. Which we know I love.

ANYWAY, back to Friday night. I fell asleep through the end of the movie and finished it Saturday morning. I was sitting on my couch and was literally MESMERIZED by the end credits. The music and the animation were so well done! And it was when these end credits were rolling that Colleen Atwood's name popped up, billed as the costume designer. Which brings me to my last favorite part of this film: the costumes! (These pictures DO NOT do them justice!)

Uhm... Hey Guys...

FYI. The "Pauly D" hair is not some brand new thing!
