‘A Single Man’ trailer obviously tells the whole story
A Single Man, Tom Ford’s directorial debut, he obviously compacts the entire movie into a two-minute trailer that looks like cutting room floor footage of a Gucci ad. There is no need to see the movie because it was told with such clarity with this trailer. Let me break it down for you. 1.) There’s...
The only redeeming quality of the ‘Nightmare’ redux
Oh look. Another remake from my childhood. Beware…this video might have been pulled from the Internet by the time you read this post. I’ve decided to stop questioning this whole remake thing that Hollywood is going through and just go with it. With the new Nightmare on Elm Street (out in theaters April 2010) ordeal,...
Asian pop culture tally as of September 24, 2009
The tally went off the charts this week… Anna Maria Perez de Tagle is the ‘joy’ of ‘Fame’ Anna Maria Perez de Tagle: The tween starlet plays Joy in Fame. Valerie Tian can be spotted in Jennifer’s Body (she was also the abortion protester in Juno, also a Diablo Cody scribed film) How did I...
The battle of the Fames
Tonight, I was treated to a screening of the new Fame movie and although I would like to share my thoughts about yet another Hollywood “reinvention,” I’ll save it for Friday. In the meantime, there is one song in the film that echoes my head: “On My Own”. Not only have I made a mental...
My ‘New Moon’ excitement goes to ‘another level’
I can’t help myself. I know I just did a post about New Moon and how it is going to be “edgier,” but I feel my inner tween breaking out of my skin like a bad case of Hannah Montana gums. I realize that I am behind on New Moon news, but I just saw...
‘New Moon’ buzzwords
New Moon, the second installment of the Twilight Saga, like many sequels, promises to be “stepped up a whole other notch” and “more complicated” and “exciting” and “pushed to the next level” and – well, let’s see what Taylor Lautner (a.k.a. Jacob) has to say: It looks like Sharkboy has done some great media training...
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...
