Golden Globes are over! (My thoughts on Hollywood's biggest party of the year!)

Last night, The GG (Golden Globe) awards took place in the SWANKY, Beverly Hilton in BEVERLY HILLS (that's where I want to be, LIVING IN BEVERLY HILLS!) Ok, that is from Weezer, a great american rock band. Let's get back to the Show! Dreamgirls was shining as the movie took home 3 awards. I am glad that Martin Scorsee won Best Director for the Departed. I am happy that Babel won for Best picture. I am not surprised that the Queen won 2 awards. As for Forest Whitaker's win for best actor in "Last King of Scotland", he may win for best actor in 6 weeks. Yes, in 6 weeks, it's the real AWARDS show known as the OSCARS, BABY! I really like to sit down and watch the Academy Awards with my scoresheet. I enjoy tallying the winners and if the movie won most of the awards which it was nominated for. So, get ready for the big show on February 25 at the KODAK THEATER on HOLLYWOOD & HIGHLAND (H & H, one of my favorite streets in the FILM CAPITAL of THE WORLD)!

Movie Review from RSG

Today, I saw "Babel", and it was worth the price of admission. It is a movie which connects stories in an incredible fashion. Since I like to put all the pieces together in the puzzle (movie), it was good to pay attention to almost every detail in this flick. Brad Pitt does a stellar job and lets hope the Academy gives him a best supporting actor nomination later this month. As for Cate Blanchett's performance in Babel, she seems to show her true colors. Cate is in 3 movies (notes on a scandal, the good german, and babel) as of recently. If you have seen 21 grams or Amores perros, then you will like Babel. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and Guillermo Arriaga collaborate a third time, and this one could be the masterpiece.

Introductory post

Welcome to a story of one person who has various aliases and identities. I have lived various lives in various cities in the planet known as earth. In my first life, I lived in california (specifically SoCal) close to cerritos. It was an interesting childhood, which had a segue into the small asian nation of taiwan. That was an interesting journey into asia, which involved learning chinese, how to use chopsticks, and getting lost in Hong Kong. Getting lost in Hong Kong is another post that I will discuss.
