Someone To Watch Over Me
In the movie Someone To Watch Over Me, Mini Rogers plays Claire Gregory, a wealthy Manhattan socialite whose life is threatened after she witnesses a murder, but don’t worry, her character soon gets protected by Mike Keegan who is played by Tom Berenger, who ended up falling in love with her. The story develops into a very interesting one. The score is exceptional and the photography and set decoration leave more than inspiration – and allot to the imagination.The architecture of the prewar upper east side apartment of Claire’s residence inspired the acclaimed designer, Thomas O’Brien, to create a haven of graciously scaled furniture, and well placed antiques. What I loved about the space the most was its modern feel, even though Thomas used his own designs for Hickory Furniture which are traditionally-inspired. The overall introduction of patterns and layers, and the soothing color combination he used to elevate the space to a new height was beautiful and very much in line with the other designers’ decor. The guest room will remain one of my all time favorite room. I loved the contrasting patterns he used in that small space, which often felt like a warm cocoon of love.

Susan continues to surprise us with her ability to take songs from diverse genre, reach deep within her soul, and pour out a fountain of emotion, creating something that captures the song’s essence so we hear it new as we listen over and over. She just as adeptly swoons us with a saucy 40’s-like bar room ballad “Lilac Wine,” then mesmerizes us with haunting yet innocent versions of the 80’s new wave classics “Mad World” by Tears for Fears and “Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode. She cries with emotion and hope as she pleads with God, “You have to Be There,” and dreams of her love’s “Return.” There’s nothing Karaoke about this collection. Susan sings from the heart, with a passion that makes each song new.
