For someone as talented as Leonardo Dicaprio, it is still unbelievable that he has yet to win an Oscar! Photo Source: Variety Magazine Who of us haven’t fantasizes about having Jack Dawson’s arms wrapped around our waist as we yell, “I’m flying, Jack!” Photo Source: buzzfeed.com Who of us didn’t cheer him on as Frank Abagnale Jr. in Catch Me If You Can, opposite Tom Hanks. And who of us wishes we could if attended one of Jay Gatsby’s lavish parties? Leo has portrayed many wonderful, and memorable characters over the years, from Jack Dawson in Titanic to Arnie in […]

Take the Stress out of Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday this year, so it got me to thinking. How many couples will get engaged or married on this weekend? Or worse, how many couples will break up prior to what could be considered by most, a stressful day?

All three books were very well-written. Suzanne Collins sure knows how to spin a phrase.

Movie Remakes I Want to See
I was watching Pitch Perfect the other night and Skylar Astin’s character, Jesse, was bragging to Anna Kendrick’s character, Beca, about movies with great soundtracks and he mentioned The Breakfast Club. The song, “Don’t You Forget About Me” by Simple Minds, is awesome, and I love the part in that movie when Judd Nelson triumphantly thrusts his fist up into the air as the credits began to roll. This same song was “mashed up” with another song in Pitch Perfect and was performed by Beca (Anna Kendrick) and the Barden Bellas. I won’t reveal any more details in case you […]
