Well hello everyone out there in internet land! I wanted to share something with you all , but I won’t talk about it for too long since it will make me want to punch myself.
About five months ago, September 22nd to be exact,  my cousin and I, let’s just call him Leave, went to the [...]

Buenos dias mi amigos, for those of you not fluent in sexy…it translates into..hey.  Now, I would like to consider myself a “movie guy”, amongst other things, and I’ve seen my share of movies whether foreign, action, drama, etc.  Unfortunately, not all the movies I’ve seen were good…in fact some of them made me want [...]

While there’s nothing wrong with being a housewife or a mother, it’s incredibly damaging to inundate the collective subconscious of women with the message that it’s the ONLY thing they’re meant for.

The year 2000 brought about many films which were both inspirational and award-worthy; however my all-time favorite of the year, not to mention of all time, has to go to Cameron Crowe’s comedy-drama, Almost Famous.

Influenced by Christopher Guest films like Waiting for Guffman and This is Spinal Tap, Amadio aimed to [...]

When it comes to discussing great films of the 80s that truly had an impact on people, it’s virtually impossible not to stumble upon a John Hughes film or an infamous member of “the brat pack.”
For those of you out of touch with this decade, “the brat pack” consisted of a group of young actors [...]

When it comes to sex, it’s rare that I stumble upon a film which I can not only closely relate to, but that I know others my age would identify with as well.
This 2007 film by Eric Amadio may have fallen under the radar in terms of popularity, but I feel the film attempts to [...]

The trend began in 2000 with Scary Movie, the first of many movies to come that served to make fun of various preexisting films.
Soon there was Not Another Teen Movie, Epic Movie, Date Movie, Superhero Movie and Disaster Movie, while a Chick Flick Movie is rumored to be in the works.

For actors and actresses, it is often considered a brave and daring task to decide to take on a role different from the one usually played.
