As
most of you already know, due to The
Arrow’s latest acting gig and JoBlo’s unfortunate health issues,
I have been given the priceless opportunity and privilege to cover
the Cannes Film Festival this year!
Although I hate to benefit or gain from others’
misfortunes, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t exhilarated to
visit Cannes, screen some awesome films and be surrounded by glamour
and beauty.
With
my arrival in Cannes two nights ago, I was greeted with gorgeous
weather and beautiful people. There is a relentless sense of
excitement which continues to fill the air as festival attendants
hustle to see films, sell distribution rights, gain recognition,
score interviews and strain to catch a glimpse or photograph of the
biggest stars in the film industry. I
have already enjoyed parading the Croisette, spotting Frank Miller
in the dark side streets and look forward to many more events and
adventures this exotic city has to offer. Stay tuned for my coverage
on upcoming film reviews, celebrity soirees and interviews while I
celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Cannes Film
Festival.
Below
are the first images from the infamous Croisette, which is sprinkled
with tourists, media, rich people and plenty of cool movie-related
billboards. Enjoy!
Yes, that’s me
