Tom Ford is many things. He is the director of A Single Man, which got Colin Firth nominated for a Best Actor Oscar (and paved the way for his current win). He is one of the big movers and shakers behind the rise of Gucci. He’s one of the most important men in fashion, and has been for twenty years now. And he’s also a man not afraid to offer advice. He’s recently given Another Man his list of five lessons on how to be a modern gentleman.

Get ready for an an award winning film. First time director Tom Ford’s film A Single Man is a refreshing reminder of what going to the theaters should be like. Surprising, heart-warming, depressing, thought-provoking and above all interesting. The film is as beautiful on the surface as it is touching at its core. Not to be confused with the Cohen Brother’s A Serious Man (which is a very different, and good film), A Single Man is a story about a teacher in the 60’s who loses his lover in an accident and is left in a world that he no longer wishes to be a part of. Lets take a look…

As we all know, last week was pretty uneventful in terms of new movie releases, thankfully, that all changes today. December 11th marks Disney’s return to hand-drawn animation with The Princess and the Frog, which looks gorgeous. Ever since we saw a few clips of it back at Comic-Con all signs point to Disney magic. Peter Jackson’s new movie, The Lovely Bones, has received mixed reviews, but is beautifully shot and hey, it’s Peter Jackson! Fashion designer, Tom Ford‘s new film, A Single Man, starring Colin Firth will be in limited release this wee, but is sure to grow with Oscar buzz. Finally we have Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman‘s latest movie, Invictus, about the relationship between Nelson Mandela and the South African Rugby player, Francois Pienaar, after Mandela was elected President. Enjoy!
Check out the movies coming out this week…

Famous fashionista Tom Ford sat down to an intimate press conference a little while ago to talk about his film debut A Single Man starring Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Nicholas Hoult, and Matthew Goode. Ford may be known for his explicit fashion photos and nude models, but aside from a few bare bums running across the screen for a moment here and there, his film is stunningly beautiful to watch and passionately deals with both the joy and pain of love and loss.
Colin Firth gives an Oscar worthy performance (read interview) alongside many other amazing performances. Find out how Ford made the successful transition from fashion designer or Oscar worthy director below…

First time director Tom Ford‘s film A Single Man will be sure to stand out as a precious gem come award season. The film is as beautiful on the surface as it is touching at its core. Not to be confused with the Cohen Brother’s A Serious Man (which is a very different film), A Single Man is the story about a homosexual teacher in the 60′s who loses his lover in an accident and is left in a world that he no longer wishes to be a part of. Instead of focusing on the “they’re gay in the 60′s” angle, the story is simply about the journey of a single man trying to find life again.
Colin Firth excels in the film. From his subtle and yet poignant gestures to his worldly demeanor, he intrigues you every moment of the way. In person, he was soft spoke, charming, intelligent, and extremely lucid on his thoughts about acting and the subject of the movie. Normally I edit down interviews to get to the heart of what people are saying, but everything he said had heart so I’m letting what he said stand as is…
