Interview: Derek Cianfrance Takes Us to ‘The Place Beyond the Pines’ [VIDEO]
Here’s a little history/language lesson: the Iroquois translation of Schenectady is “the place beyond the pines”. Schenectady, NY is the location of Derek Cianfrance‘s movie The Place Beyond the Pines. As you can see, that is where the title comes from. So that’s that. The movie reunites Derek with Ryan Gosling who he also worked...
‘Evil Dead’ Interview: The Cast Talks About Living Up to the Original and Skinny Dipping?
In my second part of my Evil Dead adventures at SXSW, I was even more awkwardly professional during my interview with the movie’s stars Jane Levy, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas, Shiloh Fernandez, and Elizabeth Blackmore. I get a tad bit overwhelmed with this one on five interview and start rambling my questions — with...
‘Evil Dead’ Interview: Bruce Campbell, Fede Alvarez, and Rob Tapert Talk about Rebirthing the Classic
The Evil Dead remake (or re-birth, as they call it) opens in theaters on Friday, April 5 — but I got to see it at the premiere during SXSW (yes, I am bragging). I also got to interview the almighty Evil Dead king, Bruce Campbell (who produced the remake) as well as fellow producer Rob...
Trailer of the Week: ‘Rampart’
I am going to do double duty with this post. This is both a “Trailer of the Week” post AND a brief review of the movie. In other words, I’m just too lazy to do a full-out review or snarky post about a movie with such Oscar girth. Since I do NOT enjoy writing summaries...
The Most Empowering (and Embarrassing) Female Movie Rockstars
The Runaways tells the story about the first all-female rock group which started with Joan Jett, Cherie Currie, Lita Ford, Sandy West and Jackie Fox. As instructed by their producer, Kim Fowley they were to “sing with their cocks” – and that they did. That they did. The rock biopic (out in theaters Friday, March...
Not everyone will fall in love with ‘Rome’
Duhamel rings a Bell in ‘When in Rome’ The story: When in Rome (not to be confused with the Olsen twin movie by the same title) is your basic story about an art gallery workaholic (Kristen Bell) who dives into a love-granting fountain in Rome to fetch some coins while in a drunken “I am...
Oscar movie check-off list 01-25-10
I’ve been slacking on my Oscar buzz movie list. Luckily, I dragged my happy meal ass to see Crazy Heart at the Embarcadero Cinema after work on Friday. I was kind of skeptical about seeing such a movie on a Friday night. According to socially correct standards, one is supposed to go party and get...

Oscar movie check-off list 01-04-10
The Oscars are on March 7 and being the obsessive compulsive person that I am , I must see all of the movies that are generating buzz. Luckily, Entertainment Weekly gave me a helpful guide (and just in case you’re wondering, my lost issue finally came in the mail) of the “25 movies I need...
‘New Moon’ should change its title to ‘Shirtless’
Based on the posters, previews and Taylor Lautner’s new buffed bod, New Moon is going to do two things: 1.) Make girls swoon and drool. and 2.) Make guys want to work out. Do I really need to be reminded that I don’t have the washboard abs of an oily variety werewolf bohunk? Forget the...
Asian pop culture tally: the ‘New York, I Love You’ edition
I know I am two weeks behind with this, but it’s not like Asian Americans have been flooding entertainment and pop culture (I’m jus’ sayin…) However, I did finally watch New York, I Love You (a continuation of the much more robust and enjoyable Paris, je t’aime) and despite what some people are saying, there...
