A movie trailer that made me sleep with the lights on
I recently got invited to a screening of this: Oh. Hell. No. There’s always something creepy about films that use the Courier New-esque font. Actually, I am not that much of a wuss. I will probably just sleep with the lights on for about a month or so before I get back to normalcy. I...
The A-Team has a new van!
So Hollywood has decided to keep on keepin’ on with this cinema redux. This time it’s The A-Team – and it has quite a strong cast. According to the semi-reliable IMDB, Bradley Cooper is gonna make it hot as Face; Sharlto Copley as Murdock and Liam Neeson as Hannibal. Jessica Biel is also wedging her...

Too tired to blog…but not too tired to name drop
Even though my eyes are heavy and I have a TV spot to film early in the morning (more on that later), I insist on blogging. That is my dedication. That is what separates me from sane people. Its what makes me an obsessive moron. I just got back from Macy’s Passport and I was...
Fashion’s new cinematic guru: R.J. Cutler
On its opening weekend, The September Issue was the 5th highest all-time per screen average opening weekend for a documentary. Yeah – that feat does sound like a reach, but for a film about fashion, it’s quite an accomplishment. Grace Coddington (left) and Anna Wintour: Vogue’s high priestesses Director R.J. Cutler was the man behind...

Move over vampires, here come the werewolves
Tweens are in a frenzy as the countdown to the werewolf-centric New Moon movie has commenced (it’s out in theaters November 20 so be prepared for a lot of sugar coated squealing). Taylor Lautner is about to “eclipse” (pun intended) Robert Pattinson as the new supernatural “it” boy as he plays the the third point...

The number 9 is getting tons of publicity this year
Is this pure coincidence? Did the scientists in the pop culture lab strategically plan this so that the number would be painted all over the place in this particular year? I don’t recall the number 8 being really big in 2008. And no offense to the number 9, but I think 8 is a way...
Asian pop culture tally as of August 17, 2009
When I did my interview with Margaret Cho for Hyphen Magazine (yes, this is a shameless name drop) I asked her about the state of Asian Americans in entertainment and she answered… There’s a great crop of (Asian American) talent. There are a couple of more Asian faces here and there – that is great....
‘G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra’: Not as bad as you think
From the moment this movie was announced, it seemed to have a death wish. People were in an uproar about the casting, fanboys got their underoos in a bunch just because that’s what they do best and the “hush hush” storyline about Cobra Commander made the whole world furiously curious. To make matters worse, there...
The joy of having a ‘Paper Heart’
Offbeat romantic comedies seem to be the thing right now with young Hollywood – and by this I am referring to Paper Heart. By the way, what exactly is an “offbeat comedy” anyway? And what makes a comedy “on beat”? In any matter, Paper Heart flows in the same vein as (500) Days of Summer...

Julie Powell on ‘Julie and Julia’
After watching the movie, Julie & Julia, I craved butter. I craved lots of it. Amongst all the delicious and decadent food scenes in this movie, I craved butter. I wanted to eat a stick of it – which isn’t as bad as it sounds. More than that, I had this appetite to pick the...

Park Chan Wook has an irresistible ‘Thirst’
If you’re expecting to see some angsty teen vampire love a la Edward Cullen or some racy vampiric hotness a la Bill Compton and Sookie in Park Chan Wook’s new film Thirst, the you might get more than you bargained for. In fact, you might get all that lovelorn raciness, but with a lot more...
Channing Tatum and Charlyne Yi get ‘Dirty’
Part of Mean Magazine’s Cinemash series that basically “mashes” up movies, this one, is by far the best I have seen. Oh dear me. Words cannot express how much I enjoyed this. I am literally hunched over my keyboard at work snorting my ass off. Video: Channing Tatum and Charlyne Yi Cinemash "Dirty Dancing"
