A Traveler's Wish List

After a few months of more travel than I’ve done my entire life, I can honestly say that traveling isn’t nearly as enjoyable as it used to be. I’ve flown Air France, KLM, British Airways, US Airways and American Airlines just since September 2011. Each airline has their areas of needed improvement (US Airways, in particular) and their specialties (Air France was a particular...

American Airlines - Still Flying High?

The idea of flying a recently filed Chapter 11 airline was daunting. With numerous reports indicating business-as-usual, it was still hard to forget the reports following other airlines’ bankruptcy filings and the effects on passengers. And anyone who’s flown out of Terminal 4 at LAX knows what a headache security is, especially on a weekday morning. As I began my journey from...

MOVIE REVIEW: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Fueled at the onset by a supercharged, mind-blowing opening credit sequence, this film is anything but another Hollywood remake. The only way to describe this film is likening it to drugs. I find myself three days later still unable to shake the brutal assault on my senses, and I find myself craving another go! David Fincher’s stylized directing is never short of utter bliss. Every...

Breakout Stars of 2011

From Ryan Gosling to Jessica Chastain, these young stars seemed to be EVERYWHERE this year. Some (like Lily Collins and Jennifer Lawrence) became household names last year in Oscar-winning films. Most, however, began to make names for themselves this year and will continue to do so well into 2012. Emma Stone: perhaps my favorite young actress at the moment, her unquestionable beauty and...

2011: The Roller Coaster Year

I had my dream job. I was assistant to 2 powerful Hollywood executives, on my way to becoming a development executive by the end of 2012. I was making enough money to pay down my school loans, enjoy drinks with friends, and indulge in some shopping, all while saving for a rainy day. That rainy day, unfortunately, came sooner rather than later. I’d spent all of April applying to grad...

Awards Reviews Pt. 2: Albert Nobbs, Drive, Tinker...

Another night, another marathon of awards films… One of the most under-appreciated actors of her generation, Glenn Close has taken this 80’s stage play and turned it into a… play on screen. A true labor of love and it was not lost, but this film was exactly what it was in its original incarnation: a play. Well adapted by Ms. Close and John Banville, and nicely directed by...
