I know it’s late, but this COULD NOT wait until tomorrow…
Another Twilight trailer has hit the web! And it’s the best of all that I seen thus far. It actually bears some similarities of what I was picturing in my head whilst I was reading the book…but there are still some discrepancies.
Twilight HD Exclusive [...]

This evening, I just decided to put all my work aside and go to a screening of the Jonathan Demme-directed Rachel Getting Married (out in the Yay Area this Friday) starring Anne Hathaway as a girl who just got out of rehab who comes home to her sister’s wedding to spread more dysfunction amongst [...]

So I finally jumped on the Twilight bandwagon and I am not getting off. (haha…I said, “getting off”). After plowing through Stephenie Meyer’s book in four days, I am hypnotized by this young adult delicacy.
Sure, the writing may not be the most high brow, but it is addicting. It’s so addicting that I want [...]

Nothin’ like a good ol’ film about Catholic priests, molestation accusations, and Meryl Streep playing a hard ass, icy nun with a slicing glare to chase the pop culture fluff of Mamma Mia!. And as an added bonus we get to see more of Amy Adams and her evolving acting chops!

I haven’t listed the things on my pop culture menu as of late, so here’s an update! (OMG! That rhymed!)
I’ve been watching…
Hamlet 2: Eh. It was kinda funny. But most of the funny is towards the end of the movie - and Elisabeth Shue is in it!
Vicky Cristina Barcelona: Not as high strung as many [...]

I have been watching…
My 90210 obsession is alive and well. I have managed to watch seasons two and three of this show in the past two and a half weeks! Sometimes it pays to be unemployed.
Anyways, these two seasons are PACKED with the greatest shows this series have to offer: Brenda and Donna go [...]

Okay, I’m not a Trekkie, but I am a fan of John Cho (remember when he and I became BFF?) and more than that, I am a fan of J.J. Abrams - so this movie is going to make me like Star Trek.
Actually, all the posters piece together to make that iconic Star Trek symbol [...]

Last night, I had a really profound conversation with my friend Marques about politics (via AIM). This is how it went down:

Me: YES
Me: it comes out this fall
Me: with thandie newton playing cunnilingus rice
Me: too soon
Marques: I will sleep [...]

Here’s a little article write up I did with the kids from “American Teen” - it’s less bloggy and more magazine-like
In the Sundance Film Festival hit, American Teen, Academy Award nominated director Nanette Burstein documents the life of five teenagers in Middle America with an honest grit that is a far cry from the trivial [...]

Wow. I am a bit flabbergasted by this trailer. Is it too soon for this? Does it look too much like an SNL sketch? Either way, it is intriguing.
Whatever - this movie is gonna cause a lot of hoopla. I hope it’s not one of those “it’s not supposed to be funny but is” [...]
