I can already tell I will like it. That possibly had something to do with the fact that I got front row-ish center seats for free as a press agent. I know, give the plebs some bread and we will be happy. But there is something magical about the overly decadent Adrienne Arsht Center; something dazzling about the Ziff Ballet Opera House Stage. The lights, a […]

“The Amazing Spider-Man 2” lives up to its name
“The Amazing Spider-Man 2” does not even begin to cover this movie. In fact, “amazing” is not a strong enough word. Maybe it should be more like “The Extraordinary” or “The Phenomenal Spider-Man.” I went into the theater having never seen the first film and not really a Spider-Man fan. However, I found that I was on the edge of my seat, especially for the last 45 minutes. I won’t […]
Opening night #artRAVE
Hello everyone! I am sorry we haven’t been posting, but preparing for the concert was all consuming. However, I wanted to tell all of you how it went. There has never been a concert quit like this one. It was MIND BLOWING!!! I cannot speak for Nicole or Li but I can say that we […]
“Transcendence” transcends expectations
“Human emotion, it can contain illogical conflict.” ~Paul Bettany as Max Waters It starts with rain against a window–rain dripping down a yellow sunflower pedal. Zoom out and the sunflower is a part of a flower bed. The flower bed is cultivated by Evelyn and Will Caster, who are using the garden for a technology get-away. Cut to the Casters and […]
Nothing to Marvel about “Captain America”
Leave it to the “Captain America” movies to encapsulate a huge government conspiracy that is so large it controls history itself. This really should have been more predictable than it was, and yet, I found myself surprised by the magnitude of the conspiracy. Not surprised enough to remain interested, but enough to get angry at how insipid this plot […]
Diverge from the film
I walked in to the theater having never read the books and thinking that “Divergent” was just another “Hunger Games.” What a bad way to start an evening. It would have been more accurate to compare it to “Twilight,” except it at least had Kellan Lutz. What was I thinking? “The Hunger Games” was a […]
“Marry smart, or too smart to marry”
Make way for a bright future in the kitchen and nursery, ladies. Don’t worry about a career; just get a husband and have babies, or, you will be looking at an unfulfilled life of work that might actually contribute something to society. Obtaining both is out of the question; women do not have the capacity […]
No need for so much speed
“Need for Speed” couldn’t be more correctly titled. This movie is literally about a group of guys who feel the need for speed in disgustingly expensive cars. Tobey Marshall, played by Aaron Paul, is the leader of the greasers. He’s like the mob boss of the underground racing world. Toby, angered by a tragic event […]
“Pompeii”: one entertaining eye roll
All damsels in distress beware; you will be swept off your feet. Just wait for the cute gladiator to ride in on a white horse to rescue your honor. It all happened in the new movie “Pompeii.” Every clichéd second, every out of place dialogue and every love struck glance was caught on camera by Paul W.S. Anderson, director […]
Career Corner: To be or not to be? Graudate school and the future
To be or not to be? Shakespeare must have been a career coach because, sometimes in our journey toward reaching our goals, we must decide if an opportunity is the right or wrong fit. Deciding on what to do after graduating with your bachelor’s can be a scary task. You probably just got comfortable with […]
