Drew Barrymore is a sweetheart, i've always liked her, from her spirit free vibe, to her rom-coms, to her everything. The only thing i haven't loved about her or her career has been 'Santa Clarita's Diet' but it's easy to forget about that. But she's always in interesting and fun things so i always keep track of what she's doing.
So, this photoshoot for the February issue of InStyle Magazine where she re-creates old photos of her is fantastic to me. There's no denying that she was the ultimate child actress that went bad and came back from it and her 35 year old career in the spotlight proves it. Maybe she's not a wide range actress but she can deliver and she knows what she's good at. So, as a celebration of that below there are tons of throw back pictures that will make you go nostalgic as she was the cutest kid. And all of that after the cut!
Gus Van Sant released this book in 1992, a series of portraits of actors, artists and musicians he had taken with his Polaroid camera, and considering the decade and the models, the result is pretty much iconic, and it only gets grander with time.
From River Phoenix, to Patricia Arquette, Nicole Kidman or rising stars at the beginning of their careers like a young Keanu Reeves, Renée Zellweger, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Steve Buscemi, to Patricia Clarkson, Stephen Baldwin, Drew Barrymore and Matt Dillon, including the cast of 'Twin Peaks' during early days of the filming. Every photo looks amazing and owning this book must be something great, because there are a lot more of Polaroids inside. Enjoy the few that i have found and already named, after the cut!
Twin Peaks - Obvi. 25 years later, it's happening again and i can't hardly wait. The cast of the show has been talking so good about the new material that i've got such high expectations that i hope it doesn't disappoint. The iconic David Lynch show is set to air sooner than expected as it's just been announced that it's gonna premiere on May 21 and will have 18 episodes *dead* Also, it's going to include some characters that i didn't expect, like Sherilynn Fenn, who played my fave character Audrey Horne, as she has tweeted about the revival so she's expected to appear, which i'm thrilled about. I seriously cannot wait for this, it's been described as "the pure heroin version of David Lynch" so i'm literally over the moon. 132 left to witness Lynch in pure glory.
Big Little Lies - This show looks like a new and more serious version of 'Desperate Housewives' and the cast alone is quite impressive: Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern, Alexander Skarsgard, Shailene Woodley, Zoe Kravitz... and for that alone it looks interesting enough for me. It premieres in 41 days (Feb. 20) so we won't have to wait long for it. Watch the trailer below.
Feud - Everything Ryan Murphy does, i'm interested in. I can't help it when he makes such great shows, from 'American Horror Story' to 'American Crime Story' and 'Scream Queens', and now he's making a show about the filming of the iconic 'What ever happened to Baby Jane?'. And if you have watched the film you should now how terribly bad the relationship between Golden Age Hollywood divas Bette Davis and Joan Crawford was, and how many stories were written about it so hence, the title of the show. Both stars will be played by Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon and other cast includes Kathy Bates, Judy Davis, Sarah Paulson, Alfred Molina, Stanley Tucci and Catherin Zeta Jones among many others so it's really a stellar cast for such an ambitious project. The show is going to have 8 episodes and expected to premiere on March 7 so we have a few good ones coming these next months.
Santa Clarita's Diet - I had no idea about this show since a few weeks ago and while the plot is a bit bizarre (click here for major details and spoilers), as it has Drew Barrymore starring on it, i'm sold. It looks like a fresh and twisted comedy and the complete first season (10 episodes) premieres on February 3, so again, we won't take long to see if it's worth it or not. Anything with Drew i nearly always like so i trust this one. At least it's going to be something different to see. Watch the teaser below.
On Becoming A God - A few days ago this tv show was announced and has already blown my mind. The controversial director Yorgos Lanthimos from 'Canino' and 'The Lobster' (i haven't watched this one yet) is developing this dark comedy series starring Kirsten Dunst with executive producers George Clooney, Dunst and Lanthimos themselves. It's still in early stages but i'm already waiting for it, as 'Canino' and 'Alps' are really weird and amazing movies, especially the first one. Plot details can be found here but i will be watching when it's out.

Flavorwire has released a really excellent set of pictures of iconic filmmakers directing their stars and that just reminded me how much i love behind-the-scenes photos and decided to post all the ones i have (i have about 100 stored) so i'm gonna do a series of posts containing the ones i like best and some new ones that i've recently found. Because there's nothing more amazing that the magic of cinema and these photos really show it. Stay tunned for more behind-the-scenes posts.
