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 [...]

The Film Club By David Gilmour: See what happens when a father lets his son drop out of high school on the condition that he watches three movies a week (of the dad’s choosing)! I’m almost done with this book - it’s okay. There are parts when the Gilmour is talking so [...]

I recently watched…
Very delightful and fun…and dare I say, it was “cute?”
Ummm…better than the first attempt - I agree with Entertainment Weekly when they said that the new Hulk is too veiny. And, of course, I enjoyed Edward Norton as the new Hulk - I enjoy him in any movie (BITE THE CURB!). But…I hate [...]

I haven’t been to the movies in a while, so I decided to take a gander at Kimberly Peirce’s latest opus, Stop-Loss, her follow up to the masterpiece that is Boys Don’t Cry.
For those of you who don’t know the story (I don’t know why you wouldn’t), let me lay it out for you: [...]

Two weeks ago Alice, Paul and I made our next stop on our chain restaurant food tour: the flair-tastic epicenter of All-American cuisine: TGIFriday’s.
Alice and Paul opted for some cocktails. Apparently, they are just as fun as they look.
There was a special on appetizers: $5 with a purchase of an entree. We took full advantage [...]

Glory Boy Days is a representation of twentysomethings of the 21st century. Directed by Paul Encinas, the movie follows a clan of troublemaking Gen Y’ers (or are they Z’ers? or maybe they are considered the blogging generation…whatever) over the course of 24 hours as they party, complain, makeout, drink, do drugs, bicker and all those [...]

Balls of Fury, Schmalls of Fury, if you see only one ping pong comedy in your entire life, then watch Ping Pong Playa - a story about video game couch potato b-ball jersey clad Christopher “C-Dub” Wang (Jimmy Tsai) and his attempt to carry [...]

If you’re looking for a happy-go-lucky, lift your spirits type of movie then Santa Mesa is for you! Wait a second, no it isn’t. It’s honestly kind of depressing - but don’t let that dissuade you. Sometimes we need a good cry to make us smile.
The story focuses on Hector (Jacob Shalov). His mother [...]

Neil Patrick Harris, (from left) Kal Penn and John Cho reprise their roles in this Harold and Kumar follow-up
Three words: An emo Harold. Three more words: Neil Patrick Harris. Three more words: Explosive bowel movements. Three more words: Enjoyably unnecessary vulgarities. Two more words: Glowing unicorns. I could do this all day.
Most of that will [...]

John Cho (2nd from left) and Jun Sung Kim (3rd from left) in West 32nd
There’s murder! There’s mystery! There’s lawyers! There’s betrayal! All of this and more encompass the noir-esque indie drama, West 32nd - but don’t be fooled by the exclamation points, the movie is quiet with moral despair and yes, it will have [...]
