Capitalism: A Love Story

Aug 26. 2009

On October 2, Michael Moore's new movie Capitalism: A Love Story will be released. Although I don't agree with all of Mr. Moore's political views, his last movie Sicko was an eye-opener and I couldn't help but cringe at our flawed healthcare system. As a victim of this recession, I will be sure to watch Capitalism. It is discouraging to live so close to the heart of the problem (Wall Street) and witness these executives continue to prey upon others' money. Do you plan on watching this movie? ...

Jul 16. 2009

Last night, as a true geek, I attended the 12:01am show for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I loved the movie - I think it was the best Harry Potter movie yet, although most of my friends disagree. There was a perfect balance of variations from the book vs keeping true to the overall feel of the story.

Lee Byung Hun in G.I. Joe… Unmasked!

Jul 13. 2009

While Hallyu (aka the Korean Wave) has been sweeping across the eastern hemisphere like a tazmanian devil on crack, Korean stars have yet to penetrate the fickle and demanding world of Hollywood. Until just recently, Korean celebrities' foray into American pop culture could be summed up in two words: epic fail. Take Rain, for example. Rain, who is possibly the most popular male celebrity in all of Asia - voted the second most influential person in the world by a Time magazine poll in 2008 - managed to gain some recognition when Stephen Colbert challenged him to a dance-off: However, his first venture into Hollywood, playing the part of Taejo Togokahn in the disaster of a movie known as Speed Racer, went seemingly...
