I guess dancing has become my “new” obsession… Step Up 2…I loved the original Step Up, and I knew that the sequel would be, well, ick… Turned out the script is kinda cheesy, but the dancers can freaking dance! And hip hop, I love watching it ever since Chris Kim from Glenbrook South performed a […]
I did something today that I said I’d do…something new! New thing #1: Went to the local dog park that I have been too afraid to do by myself, and met some friends. I hesitated to go because of Ollie’s bum leg, but I figured, what the hell, at least I could have friends there […]
Sex and the City-Predictable, although I didn’t see the middle of the storyline coming…great fashion, great apartment style, great characters, although I thought Samantha’s character was a bit subdued from her “TV” years. My only comment was that the boys got OLD…and only some (namely Big) aged like a fine Sterling vineyard cabernet. The others […]
Finally saw this. I find it hilarious when non-singers attempt Sondheim. Johnny Depp, as much as I love him, cannot sing. But neither can Helena Bonhem Carter, so it works out. At least the material is conducive to non-singers (as in, you can pretty much talk the entire score). And why does Alan Rickman always play […]
Mediocrity at its best, 27 Dresses is not worth 27 minutes of your time. Although I am a Katherine Heigl and James Marsden fan (see Grey’s Anatomy and The Notebook, respectively), the luke-warm script and unimpressive performances by lead actors made this movie unenjoyable at first, predictable at second, and downright laughable (at the ridiculousness […]
Here’s my take in less than 3 hours (which is what the film clocked in at); It’s has good actors (Matt Damon=brilliant…other players included William Hurte, Alec Baldwin, John Turturro, Billy Crudup, Lee Pace (I didn’t know he acted before Pushing Daisies…)Timothy Hutton, Joe Peschi, etc. etc.) It has excellent directing…it was DeNiro, after all. […]
First off, yes, I had to look it up. According to Dictionary.com: Atonement NOUN: Amends or reparation made for an injury or wrong; expiation. This was one of those Oscar-worthy movies that I desperately wanted to see before the Oscars, and never got around to it. It has been sitting in my Netflix queue for […]
In the “why didn’t I think of that” category, I bring to you the brilliant marketing campaign that is FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL. Not sure about you, but the city is plastered with these black and white posters of the words “Sarah Marshall Sucks”, and a website to visit. I wouldn’t have noticed these at all, […]
In the battle of literary greats, it always seemed to me that Shakespeare was far more poetic than Jane Austin. The woman died young and without a husband, which was obscene at the time (although nowadays it is still looked upon as “abnormal” if you are not married/engaged/dating seriously by the time you are 30). […]
I screened Michael Clayton the other day, and its a great movie, don’t get me wrong. It’s definitely a rental, cause the cinematography is nothing to write home around, but as much as I liked it, I just don’t know if it is Oscar / Golden Globe worthy. It’s in that same realm of Memento […]
