Walk The Moon and Sheppard on Ellen
When these two bands appeared on Ellen, I practically jumped for joy. I have been obsessed with their songs “Shut Up and Dance” and “Geronimo” for the past several months, and to see… Continue reading
“Man on a Wire” – The Script
FINALLY! Aaaaaahhhhhhh. I was beginning to think The Script were not going to release a video for this, but here it is! You have to understand how much I’m trying to keep it… Continue reading
Thoughts on the Oscars
NPH Opening: Veerrry nice. Entertaining. I love the effects of blending NPH into famous scenes, and the shadows and silhouettes, especially that shoutout to Singin’ in the Rain. Jack Black made the number… Continue reading
Wild (2014)
You know those movies that show the triumph of the human spirit over insurmountable odds, that show the pain of losing yourself and the joy of finding your way back again, the power… Continue reading
“What Kind of Man” – Florence + The Machine
Florence + The Machine are back! Huzzah! This is what fierce looks (and sounds) like.
Birdman (or: I Was Duped!) (2014)
SPOILERS AHEAD. I went into this movie thinking it was going to be a straight up comedy, because it was in the comedy category at all the awards shows, right? Also, I really… Continue reading
My name is Iñigo Montoya…
I had a crappy week last week and I just could not snap out of it. Then I came across this video. God bless The Princess Bride for banishing the blues. Hearing Iñigo… Continue reading
High Society (1956)
“Just take that scenery floating by, we’re now approaching Newport, Rhode I..” This song by Louis Armstrong opens High Society, the musical adaptation of The Philadelphia Story. This is one movie loved by… Continue reading
Terry Pratchett
Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you… Continue reading
2015 Aussie Open Roundup
The Monday after a Grand Slam always brings me a huge letdown. It’s like for two weeks my schedule becomes pretty set around the match schedules, and then after two weeks of non-stop… Continue reading
Nadal: “If” doesn’t exist in sport.
This was my favorite part of Rafa’s post-match interview. This was his answer when a reporter asked him, “if” he had won the third set, would he have had a chance to win… Continue reading
Jim Courier Brings Some Laughs to the Australian Open
I’ve been glued to the Australian Open lately, and one of the best parts has been Jim Courier’s post-match interviews with the players. (Aside from Rafa still being in it, of course.) It’s… Continue reading
Care to go on a yoga retreat?
Guys. Did you know that there was such a thing as yoga retreats? I may have just announced to the world that I live under a rock, but in the interest of full… Continue reading
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)
I have two words for The Battle of the Five Armies: E. PIC. Yes, it was so epic that it took me almost a month to put down my thoughts and feelings (of… Continue reading
“Only One” – Kanye West & Paul McCartney
I am surprised by how much I love this new track by Kanye. True, I was expecting to actually hear Paul, but apparently he just co-wrote the song. Which is probably why I… Continue reading
A Filipino Christmas
Every year at Christmas I alternate between a full-on Scrooge mode where I hate everything about the holiday, and a Tiny Tim persona where I love everything and everyone and all I want… Continue reading
White Christmas (1954)
Is there a better Christmas musical than this? I think not. It stars Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye, along with Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen. It again features the songs of Irving Berlin,… Continue reading
