Yamashiro Movie Nights and South Park Sing-A-Long

Some really cool movie events coming up! Yamashiro, that beautiful Japanese restaurant overlooking Hollywood, is now having free movie nights in its Sky View Lounge through July 23 (thanks to Dig Lounge for the heads-up). That’s all well and good but the best part to me is that they’re screening Breakfast at Tiffany’s on July…

This Weekend: Lovin' Summer

Flickr Shot by dotsara Gosh, how I LOVE summer. All the fun things you can do only when it’s warm out, as this weekend looks like it’s going to be. Mmm, 80-degree weather.

Film Complaint: Speed Racer

I was really surprised by how boring Speed Racer was. Yes, it’s by the Wachowski Brothers (of The Matrix fame). Yes, it has a ton of CGI. Yes, there’s plenty of racing “action.” And I even saw this in IMAX at the Bridge! But YAWN! I almost took a nap. Unlike Iron Man, I felt…

This Weekend: New, Improved and Mom-Free

I don’t know about you but my mom doesn’t live in town so I don’t have to worry about taking her out for brunch or anything. Just sent her flowers. This weekend is mine (I’ll be up in NorCal though). Friday, May 9 Kids in the Hall at the Orpheum Yes! There are still tickets…

Film Review: Iron Man

When I first saw the trailers for Iron Man, my first reaction was “Meh, another over-the-top blockbuster.” I had no desire to see it. Not because I’m not a fan of the Iron Man story/comics, I’m not, but because the trailer with all its exciting flashes of special effects didn’t impress me. Plus there was…
