Throwin' a Little Pop Culture Your Way
Wednesday, January 23, 2008
Because I've been absorbing it in the few hours I"ve had outside of Working on three projects and sleeping off Sinusitis.
This, of course means a plethora of movies and Celebreality.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Call me late in the game - because I"ve never seen the play / read the book - but holy greatness. Sick, twisted ending, and hello - amazing. I think this is my favorite Tim Burton / Johnny Depp Project... Sure redeems Burton after the atrocity that was Willy Wonka.
Cloverfield
Another good flick that surprisingly didn't make me throw up all over the theater (how many people have said this?) I dug it... played on a lot of human fear, including that most of it lies in the unknown. I half was uncomfortable because it really makes me feel for all of those involved in 9/11... My boss was in one of the towers when it was hit and I've heard the story of the after effects - being covered in building Soot, etc. - so I'm not sure I'd recommend it to these people - but if you're going to go - Go Big - and Go Imax.
Thot-out Review here for those wanting a little more.
27 Dresses
Yeah. I said it. And respectfully, I went alone. Reminiscent of Never Been Kissed... Doing a story on someone - end up falling in love. I guess I feel akin to Katherine Heigel's character because I am that girl pulling all the strings for everyone else and getting big shit done while all of my beautiful friends/sister(s) stand out. Anyway... It's a chick flick. But, my favorite. "I am Jesus..." Plus I love her apartment...

I'm from Denver, CO. I love to travel - both alone and with friends - explore new places and really learn the personality of a city. I own my own PR firm and offer support to creative professionals including authors, musicians and small business. My husband writes and performs live music (often for kids at local libraries in town), and we have a little boy who loves to travel as much as we do.
