Now there’s an odd on-screen married couple: Helen Mirren and Joe Pesci. As the Guardian astutely pointed out, these two have a combined age of 131, but at age 65, Dame Helen Mirren can still pack some heat! Her American accent is inconsistent based on the trailer, but would anyone even notice? Based on a [...]

This post’s been laying dormant in my draft folder for quite a while. At the time I was inspired by this Popwatch‘s fantastic idea of two extremely charismatic & bankable actors Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp starring together in a film. The writer had a fascinating idea of having them star in “… Outrageous [...]

On Monday, IMDb has an interesting poll that asked ‘what is your favorite movie set on a train?’ Well, part of what’s so fun about my recent London trip was taking the underground tube every day, which not only provides a fast and convenient transportation but it’s a fun place for people watching as well.

Two years ago, when the trailer of Iron Man first came out, I thought it was just ridiculous and juvenile that I had no interest in seeing it. Not sure why I ended up seeing it but let’s just say I absolutely loved it. It was such a fun and enjoyable flick from start to [...]

Happy Friday, folks! I thought I was too tired to write a post for today, but I guess Michael Fassbender stunning green eyes below inspired me last nite I haven’t been following the DC Comic-based Jonah Hex as I don’t really care for the storyline (nor the lead star Josh Brolin), but with Fassbender having a [...]

I’m playing catch-up with the latest trailers after weeks of not posting a single one.

On the plane ride back home, I wasn’t able to fall asleep right away. So what’s better than catching up on flicks I’ve missed and Invictus is one I had been wanting to see (I wrote a post on it back in October). The Clint Eastwood-directed flick tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson [...]

This is my first attempt at reviewing a stage play, so bear with me folks. I saw the show last Thursday night at Adelphi Theater. Walking from the main square from Covent Garden, we asked a couple of people along the way how to find the theater, and one of them remarked, ‘Oh is that [...]

Hello again everyone! Finally back from London Friday Saturday (d’oh! Thanks Becky) night after a slight flight delay due to a security breach, where we had to vacate the plane and be re-boarded one by one! But hey, considering all travel woes from the volcanic ash, I really can’t complain about how smooth our trip [...]
