Spring Breakers Shocks as a pretty good movie

No, you didn’t read that incorrectly. And no, you aren’t on the wrong blog. I did see Spring Breakers, by choice. And, I did like it. Now that that’s off my chest, let me tell you why. Because, all of you know I absolutely cannot stand that James Franco has a successful acting career. I … Continue reading

As I finally start writing my novel…

…I decide to push my other avenues of income. Mike loves to hear that, especially since he’s depending on the success of said novel to entitle him to a lifetime of afternoon rounds of nine holes. So, I am pleased to announce that after a month’s soft opening of With Love and Flash, I officially … Continue reading

Feeling a little Sinister?

What is it that makes a scary movie, well, scary? Personally, I think it’s different for everyone. Sometimes, it’s the element of surprise that makes us tremble. The realism that comes along with certain tales torturing our subconscious with the fact that it could actually happen in real life, and of course there are the … Continue reading

Stoker the Fire – A Film Review

Bring on the creepy. This is how I officially reviewed the new Kidman flick for Insite. And by creepy I mean, ridiculously entertaining, can’t-put-your-finger-on-it wariness (the kind where you wonder if this movie is going to scar your personality for awhile) that can only be birthed out of the uncomfortable chemistry between Mia Wasikowska and … Continue reading

Oscar Recap – The Trophies

To my loyal followers, apologies for the extensive amount of time it took me to get my opinions up. Honestly, I don’t have tons and tons of feedback to give. I thought this was the best Oscars in years. I thought Seth MacFarlane was a good, fresh twist and although I wish he had loosened … Continue reading

Oscar Recap – The Red Carpet

I am not some fashionista wishing for a spot of Joan River’s police panel. But, I have a strong opinion about what works and doesn’t work on the red carpet. To be fun, let’s start with what doesn’t work. Kristen Stewart. Kristen Stewart, in general, IN LIFE PEOPLE, just doesn’t work on the red carpet. … Continue reading

ARGO F%*# yourself

The answer is YES – I managed to squeeze this in before Oscar night. It was OnDemand (and is now, obviously) JUST in time and I have never done Sunday chores so fast so that I would feel okay with plopping myself down on the couch in the middle of a gorgeous day to watch … Continue reading

STG stands for SURE TASTES GREAT – New Lunch Spot

Okay, I know you’re hungry guys! And now that they’ve officially been open for a week and a day, you can go try to get a table within that 1-hour allotted time slot. #yay STG Traittoria, from the same binge-brainiac that opened Bocado on The Westside, has been serving up napoli-style nosh for over a … Continue reading

The Sweet Surprise of Surprising Someone

This weekend I got to go visit my friend MK – we were kindred spirits from the start, which was a discovered shared affection for Fruit Punch gatorade mixed with Malibu Rum. Right now, that makes me have a hot flash, but oohh man, back in the day that was THE JUICE. Well, she’s tying … Continue reading

Get Naked – Helen Hunt is at 49

For those that aren’t all about the Oscar movies, you probably haven’t even heard of The Sessions. It’s Helen Hunt‘s Oscar nom movie for the role she plays as a sex surrogate teaching a middle-aged virgin how to have sex, and having it with him so that he can date like a normal guy. That … Continue reading
