Movie Review: The Wrestler

Very good movie. I was hoping it would make me cry. It didn't but I still thought it was touching. Mickey Rourke is a very good actor with all the drama in his life I think I forgot about that. If you can get past the exterior (which isn't that hard to do) his performance was awesome. I hope to see him in more stuff.

Movie Review: 17 Again

From what I've heard this movie has been getting trashed. It wasn't that bad. Creepy in some spots when the daughter is attracted to the teenage version of her father. What was actually kinda touching and not creepy was teenage Zac Efron falling for his adult wife. Now don't get me wrong I am too damn old to be into Zac Efron but the kid is appealing. Cute boy but not really feeling the side swept hair do. I have to say I wrote him off especially with all the HSM publicity. He's a cute guy and as he gets older I think his fan base will include an older demographic.

Movie Review: X-Men Orgins - Wolverine

Hugh Jackman did make this role. They could have done more with the Gambit character...in the comic book he was so much fun. I mean really powers that include gambling! But then again the comic goes into greater detail on all the characters. Overall I liked it but kinda predictable in some spots. I give a medium warm thumbs up.

where ya been?

it's been tooo long. i need to get back to my thoughts so i'm back. did anyone miss me? blogging is definately a much needed escape from the drama of work and office politics. Now i just got to get creative and start blogging again.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Joaquin Phoenix: Just Cause

I don't smoke...just really like and appreciate joaquin phoenix. I could look at him all day. He's attractive in a dark mysterious kind of way. Lovely man...but I wish he would do more movies, I think he's a very talented actor. I don't even love all the movies he's in but I appreciate his qualities as an actor.

Beckams: Together Again

David Beckham is back in the states after the LA Galaxy Asian Tour. I have to say that I think I will at least attempt to watch an upcoming soccer game. Watching Beckham highlights is fun...so a full game should be exciting as well, right? This is not a recent picture but I like it because I'm loving the casual laid back look of D & V. Cute family.

Jean-Leon Gerome: Pygmalion & Galatea

I first saw this painting while in NYC at the Metropolitian Museum of Art. The painting depicts the greek myth of Pygmalion, King of Cyprus after he has scultped his ideal woman. He named his sculpture Galatea and it was so beautiful that he fell in love with his own creation. Aphrodite, Goddess of love brought the statue to life. Everytime I look at this piece I can't help but smile.

John Mayer: Cartoon

Okay I used to like John Mayer. I liked him best when he was a fresh faced newby in the music industry and won his first Grammy. I really liked his song writing and his message. Is it just me but his newer material I just can't relate to? Not to mention I know more about John Mayer the person vs. the artist. I'm starting to realize maybe I don't like John Mayer the person. It just makes me shake my head when a person claims to want privacy then decides to put some stuff on their blog that will peak the media's attention. It's like he's asking for it. Oh well I can't feel too bad for him anymore.

Rihanna

The make-up is great in this picture. Also I think this hair color suits her. This must have been after she was a dark blonde but before the cut and going black. I like the black bob too especially when she had some curls in it. Very natural look here though.


I just liked the photography here. I love black & whites and here she looks so much older...I almost didn't recognize her.
