Experiencing new adventures in New Orleans

Less than 36 hours, RSG left New Orleans. It was an incredible experience in "the Big Easy." During my three days/three nights journey, Rahulio went to the following places: 1. Tulane univ. in New Orleans 2. Pat O'brien's bar in french quarter 3. Blue Nile Bar in frenchman street Also, RG was at "club ampersand" in new orleans. By this nightclub, there was a film set for "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" movie. This movie comes out in 2014, and it is the sequel to "Rise of The Planet of The Apes." The French Quarter was a nice part of the city, and Bourbon Street is a snippet of the entertainment only. It was great to walk to restaurants/bars from the central business district. RSG recommends "the Roosevelt" hotel for getting an ostentatious drink at "Sazerac" bar. The vieux carre is "the french quarter" in french literally. If you have not checked out New Orleans, is it worth seeing.

Summer Movie Season 2013 preview from "raving Hollywood critic"

It's May 2013, and the summer movie season has started. Two days ago, RSG (aka "raving Hollywood critic") saw "Iron Man 3". It was a great movie replete with special effects. The movie had a great cast due to Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Rebecca Hall, Guy Pearce, Don Cheadle, and Ben Kingsley. It was hard to decipher the villain in the movie, since there was more than one enemy for "Iron Man" to defeat. Onto another movie, RSG can't wait to see "The Great Gatsby" on May 10. The movie is in 3d, but RSG wants to see it in regular format. The book, "The Great Gatsby", was a mysterious (& thrilling) novel penned by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The book came out in 1925, and the central character is Jay Gatsby. Furthermore, Jay Gatsby's real name is James Gatz. In the movie, Leonardo DiCaprio will play the title character. Also, this movie has Amitabh Bachchan starring as "Meyer Wolfsheim". Other well known actors/actresses are Tobey Maguire, Isla Fisher, Carey Mulligan, and Joel Edgerton. Finally, the soundtrack to the movie was exec. produced by Jay-Z (aka Shawn Carter). The soundtrack has some jazzy tracks, and it brings today's hip-hop, rock, & other genres together. RSG will have to make the transaction, by purchasing the cd. In closing, hope "The Great Gatsby" is not a flop. If you like Amitabh Bachchan like Rahulio does, the picture above is the Bollywood star.
