2000-2009: My Favorite Books (and a few I disliked)

I didn’t title this *best of decade* simply because that sounds pretentious, like I have a final say on what’s good or bad.  *My favorites* is just that: what I loved, what I liked, my personal opinion and therefore I can say/pick whatever I want without being subjected to people yelling at me for pretending [...]

Quality Assessment: Sherlock Holmes

Whereas Rob Marshall has become a bona fide *one trick pony* with the release of his musical Nine, Guy Ritchie has been happily living up to that term his whole directorial career. From his debut Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, to Snatch, to Revolver to Rock&Rolla, all of his movies have been a sort [...]

Golden Globes Nominations–TV

No time for unnecessary ramblings, not even going to bother with all the deserving shows/people who got shut out and the undeserving nominees, lets just get right to it:
BEST TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA
Big Love (HBO)
Dexter (Showtime)
House (Fox)
Mad Men (AMC)
True Blood (HBO)
I’ve just started to watch Mad Men and completed season one: I’m not too thrilled about it to [...]

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame: Class of 2010.

A quick note:
I’m thrilled……THRILLED!! that the amazing  (Iggy and) Stooges are finally getting in. Bravo!
I’m also very excited about ABBA. I mean who in the world hates ABBA? No one.
Not crazy about Genesis though.  Yes I didn’t exactly grew up when they were big and shit but I’ve heard some stuff and just to blah for [...]

Video of the Week: “Somewhere Out There” from Fievel: An American Tail

Because my childhood called and requested it.

TV: Ugly Betty

Quick:  Tonight’s Ugly Betty was so freaking hilarious!  One of the very best episodes ever.  So much going on/happened and so many LOL moments, no wonder guest star Shakira was barely seen (the promos made it seem she was going to be feature a lot but was more like a brief cameo) and rightly so: the focus [...]

The Grammys Nominations or the Year of the Joke

Granted, every single year, the people over at the Grammys find many ways to *make* jokes by nominating…well, shit. crap. dunk. whatever you wanna call it, and then they go so far as to give us plenty of WTF? moments when the actual winners are announced.
(read the full list of 2010 nominees here, ’cause I just [...]

Turkey Day!

Yeah you think is all fun and games and eat ’til you drop dead…..until you realize that dropping dead could actually be in your future if you aren’t careful ’cause here it comes………..THANKSGIVING!

White meat! Dark meat! All will be carved!

Video of the Week: Jay Z and Alicia Key’s “Empire State of Mind”

I have held back on putting this on here trying to tone down the “I Love NY” sickness, but after their showstopping performance last night during the American Music Awards, my love for this song grew by like 200%.
I mean c’mon! There’s nothing you can’t do! You’ll feel great! Those lights will truly inspire you!
Enjoy [...]
