7 Things: Zoos – #6

Amarillo When you drive low across the country, Amarillo is on the way, so we’ve ended up stopping there on several occasions. The exit that we usually stay at has the best plot for prairie dog watching I’ve ever seen and some old structures that make it feel totally Old West. Amarillo also has the [...]

7 Things: Zoos – #7

Fort Worth I went to the Fort Worth Zoo for the first time this week. It’s quite lovely. There are several unique things to see, like a Texas area in the back complete with a cool Texas Town that may be lame for locals, but was pretty cool for gypsies. The visit started out as [...]

7 Things: And Seven Movies Even a Hottie Couldn’t Save – #1

Okay, I know that I already used this movie as a “Bad” last year, but, seriously, I cannot say enough horrible things about it. I would like to think that there is a level of disgusting at which all people hit the wall. I would like to think that, but The Human Centipede exists, as well [...]

100 Feet Famke Janssen is one of my hottiest hotties in all of hottiedom. She is just completely freaking stunning. I have met Famke twice, once when she was drunk in L.A. at the after-party for the Eulogy premiere, where I called her by name and then she proceeded to reintroduce herself by name. And, [...]

Larceny Roselyn Sanchez is so freakin’ hot. Whether she’s playing FBI or a ballerina, she’s sexy with three “X”s. Like this —> SeXXXy. Still, I couldn’t regret watching this movie more. It was so unbelievably bad. Oy. But the absolute worst thing about this movie is that, when it starts out, it sort of fools you. [...]

It’s That Time Again. Nicholl Time.

I have written over forty screenplays. Not all of them good – some should never be read again – but all feature-length and complete. Right now, in my “movies working on” folder, I have nearly thirty screenplays in the works and another thirty-nine tucked into an “ideas” folder in case the inspiration ever strikes. I [...]

Perfume Once upon a time, I thought Mariska Hargitay was really hot. Once upon a time, I thought Mariska had the potential to be a really good actress. I even saw her on stage once, and she was good, and on the L&O set… along with Stephanie March. Just in case anyone wants to squee. [...]

7 Things: And Seven Movies Even a Hottie Couldn’t Save – #5

Note the bad Photoshop job above? It pretty much sums up the amount of concern put into the movie. Now, don’t be hating because it’s a Lifetime movie. The year before Lifetime did His & Her Christmas and it was highly watchable. Like Ebbie and Sophie and the Moonhanger and all of the other highly [...]

Nacho Libre I like a few Jack Black-led movies. This movie, however, looked like it was going to be particularly grueling just from the previews alone. In short, I knew to avoid it. And yet… There was Ana de la Reguera in the previews, along with the terribleness, and she made such lovely scenery, even [...]

Stiletto I don’t watch Castle, but I’ve seen a couple of episodes, and whenever I used to flip past it, I couldn’t say that Stana Katic didn’t catch the eye. So, when I spotted her name in the description of a movie called Stiletto on one of our movie channels one day, I said to [...]
