Dionne Warwick Interview: What the World Needs Now

My mother and aunt raised me on their old school music, which consisted solely of greats and legends. Before I had the chance to interview the Grammy Award-winning legend Dionne Warwick, let’s just say I had definitely heard of her before. Ms. Warwick has sold over 100 million albums and has remained one the most […]

[Finally] Meeting Joss Whedon

This year was my fourth or fifth year at SDCC, and every year, I’ve managed to see Joss Whedon in passing. Usually after the EW party, but always somewhere. The first time I saw him at the con was going by in a pedicab with Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk. Bit of a whir, but […]

MAGIC MIKE: XXL

One of the first posts I made on this blog was about my going to the “Magic Mike” premier.  I didn’t love it.  There were a lot of things that were very problematic, and the only bits I cared about were of Channing Tatum dancing. But “Magic Mike XXL,” well…Channing’s body and its movement are […]

Jurassic World

Wizard World Shenanigans and Meeting David Boreanaz

Note: Sorry for the delay.  I wrote one version and it got accidentally deleted, so I had to start all over.  Maybe this one turned out for the best. Mild anxiety attack. Didn’t know he had been doing autos first, so I got in line for the photos early.  First dozen people or so were […]

Let’s Be Cops

…Or as it’s better known as– “Let’s Be Psych–The F/X Edition” “Let’s Be Cops” is a buddy film that involves an odd couple of bros who are also BFFs for the last ten years or so.  You have Shawn Ryan, who’s unemployed and likes to relive the glory days of his youth, goofing around, living off […]

The Purge: Anarchy

Going into the pre-screening for this film, my expectations weren’t terribly high due to my slight ambivalence over its predecessor.  I didn’t really care about any of the characters; actually wanted one or two of the main characters to just die already. This film, however, turns it all the round. It feels as if the […]

Maleficent and the Power of Pure Love

Yes, pure love, and not true love. Note: Very mild spoilers. Admittedly, I am a HUGE Angelina fan, but I did in fact go into this film as an impartial viewer.  If it had sucked, I would be honest and say that it did, but it did not. Let’s start with the audience–lots of children and […]
