I’m not really a film critic, I just play one on the Internet!

Here’s the trailer for the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced, film adaption of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal in the titular role, alongside a dazzling Gemma Arterton. Whether this will be just another one of those failed video game films remains to be seen, next summer.

They say that comedians are often the saddest souls around. It might follow then, that the toughest guys are also the most vulnerable. But if Mike Tyson is an indication of what lurks beneath a bad-ass, vulnerability is only the beginning.
“Iron” Mike grew up on the meanest streets of Brooklyn, a place where the entire cast of The Hills would be eaten alive. The crime life called out at an early age, and by the time Tyson was 13, he was already arrested 38 times. 38 times!
It all started with an altercation on the street that had him [...]

Where the Wild Things Are

where the wild things are

Watching “Where the Wild Things Are” felt like one giant acid trip. Not that I’ve ever experienced such a thing. In fact, no one’s ever even said to me “Hey man, why you trippin?” But I imagine, that if I were to ever find myself sliding down that slippery slope, it would involve cuddly, ferocious, over-sized friends who want to eat me up one minute and make me their king the next.

The classic children’s tale written by Maurice Sendak is of course an ode to the childhood imagination and the possibilities found within the pure, untainted and unbridled mind [...]

The Killers on New Moon Soundtrack

The entire New Moon soundtrack was available for free listening on its official Myspace page a few days ago, and surprisingly, there was actually some good stuff. Artists like Thom Yorke, Lykke Li, Sea Wolf, Death CabĀ For CutieĀ and Muse are all featured. Even Lupe Fiasco has a track (albeit, an iTunes exclusive only). The best song, in my unbiased opinion, is from The Killers, who give off a gothic-Beatles vibe in “A White Demon Love Song” which is perfect for such a film. I think that if Brandon Flowers regressed to his former flamboyant self, with his sleek suits [...]

Ciara

I’m still alive! I’ve been slacking on the movie front, but I’m breathing some life back into the fashion segment. Here’s another edition of Fashion Friday (which is just an arbitrary title…it is only Wednesday after all.)
Ciara is all class in this gorgeous Thakoon creation. Not a single thing wrong with this picture right here, from her pose to her toes (well, those Christian Louboutins covering her toes that is), and the stylin’ mane framing her impeccably-made up face. Pretty much my favorite look of the week, which is why it’s first.
Aside from the overly-fried hair Leighton Meester looks [...]
