The Wedding Date (2005)

“I’m allergic to fabric softener. I majored in comparative literature at Brown. I hate anchovies. And I think I’d miss you even if we never met.” - Nick Mercer (played by Dermot Mulroney)
Oh. My. God.
I think that’s one of the most romantic things I’ve heard in the longest time. In fact, this movie has a […]

A minor obsession with Howard Hughes

(Image: Amazon.com)
I don’t know why, but I’ve always been oddly interested in Howard Hughes and his life story. So when The Aviator came out in 2004, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, I was in heaven.
I love bio flicks like this in general, like Ray and Walk The Line, but I don’t know what it is about […]

OhEmGee - A Frank Sinatra bio-flick!? YAYNESS!

I don’t know why the LA Times is stating that Frank Sinatra died on May 14th, when all the stuff that’s been happening happened yesterday on the 13th, but here’s a rumor I couldn’t bear to ignore:

Vintage Art - Bogie and Bergman in Casablanca

Continuing on with the “movie room” theme for vintage art, I found this classic movie poster of “Casablanca” featuring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Anyone… I mean ANYONE… who doesn’t find this movie a total classic and who doesn’t appreciate it for it’s entirety is a fool, in my opinion! :)
The colors and the artwork […]

Happy Birthday Bette Davis… and me!

Bette Davis Photo (credit)Buy at AllPosters.com
Today marks the 100th birthday of Miss Bette Davis, and the 2nd anniversary of my 29th birthday!
For some reason, whenever I think of Bette, and I do every year on this day, I think of that 80s song, “Bette Davis Eyes”. Well, I used to think of that song first. […]

Sammy Davis, Jr. - Something’s Gotta Give

I remember last year for my birthday (gah, was it a whole year ago?) my parents got me tickets to see a Rat Pack tribute group with a local celebrity, Louis Velez, playing Sammy Davis, Jr.
I also vividly remember when he did the song Something’s Gotta Give, which was one of Sammy’s well known songs. […]

HBO’s The Rat Pack

picApp_publisherId = 449;picApp_imageId = 2990;picApp_imageWidth = 230;picApp_imageHeight = 300;picApp_configUrl = “http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/FlashSite/GetConfig.aspx”;picApp_Picview=”http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/FlashSite/en/picviewerv1_1.swf”;picapp_numberOfLine=2;ImageServe();

I haven’t seen HBO’s The Rat Pack yet, as I grew up a child/teenager without the luxury of paid premium channels. Heck, I still don’t have them, and the boyfriend’s got the HBO’s for the first 6 months free deal, but after that, he’s canceling. […]
