- Blahniks, Broken Hearts, and Bathroom Humour?: Sex and the City on the Big Screen
They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks and this is quite true. The Sex and the City movie was nothing fresh and spectacular, but more of a return to old ways in a grander, more glamorous, two-and-a-half-hour scale. At the risk of being insulting, the film was basically a rehashing [...]
- “Sorry for your loss?”: Defending the Stone
So yeah…I’m back! After a prolonged Writers’ Strikesque hiatus, I’m back on the blogroll, pissed off and feeling the shame of being surplus summer labor. So excuse the stone-cold tone of this post…
Thursday, the glamorous red-carpet of the Cannes Film Festival was stained with controversy about Sharon Stone’s comment about red-China’s recent earthquake, [...]
- Thinner Than Thin OLED
Okay, I’ve talked to you about the thin pioneer plasma, but this is insane. Among the various other thin flat panels I have mentioned, this Sony OLED is pretty sexy despite its anorexia. Introducing a prototype by Sony, a .2mm thick… OLED panel, with a screen size of 3.5 inches.
This new prototype beats another thin [...]

Betrayal

Bastard child
Bitch

Boleyn.
On Friday, I had the pleasure of seeing the drastically delayed The Other Boleyn Girl. Even before its release, all the Boleyn buzz was negative, with claims that the studio delayed the release (originally scheduled for last year) due to a lack of confidence [...]
- Not All That Glitters Is Oscar
Yesterday, yours truly watched the 2008 Independent Spirit Awards on IFC which celebrated the year’s best in independent film. Though there were some similarities with the Oscar nominees, the Independent Spirit Awards prides itself in honoring those looked over and has a more international flavour. It reacts to “Hollywood” associations with dramatic disdain [...]
- Vu’s Oscar Picks
So it has all led up to this. After all the nastiness of the Writers’ Strike, what better way to let bygones be bygones than the Oscars? With less than a week to go, cinephiles everywhere are scrambling to rental stores and theatres to see the Oscar nods. But some of us [...]
- The Writers’ Strike Chronicles–Final Installment(s): The ‘Sex’ Effect
The Writers’ Strike may be over and our favorite shows may be coming back to a boobtube near you in about 3-4 weeks, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t have to wait. Isn’t waiting just simply the worst? I think it’s even more upsetting that we KNOW that it’s finally over yet [...]
- The Chicken Wing Massacre!
So for the Super Bowl, I had the pleasure of making chicken wings. Now this task includes buying the chicken, cutting up the chicken, slaughtering and breaking off their limbs, and placing them in a bowl to be mixed in a special seasoning to be later fried at my friend’s Super Bowl. Now, [...]
- Candidates Cozy Up for the Stars
Hillary to Barack: “I HAVE JUNGLE FEVER.”
Yeah, I know I’m about half a week late on this news but whatever. Last Friday, I woke up to find headlines and footage of Hillary and Barack making nice in public. You know what’s worse than PDA? . . . fake PDA. Then again, it [...]
