Oh, NO!!! The end of 2010 is near. As well as the 10th Season of Smallville, the last season of the show.. Clark Kent from Smallville (starring Tom Welling, the best Superman ever) has been such a good friend of mine ever since I first arrived in the land of steel called Manhattan nearly 7 [...]

What a powerful performance by Natalie Portman and what a climax for the last scene. I felt during the “Black Swan” screening last Friday that this is the best performance of Natalie Portman. It’s a story about a promising ballerina whose cutting ambition, psychological suffocation from her mother, sexual frustration, and shaky self-validation turned this [...]

I thought that it would be the coolest screening I’ve ever been to. Cuz the screening was held on top of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum (www.intrepidmuseum.org), a battle ship that survived World War II. I was wrong. It was the most moving screening I’ve ever been to. I’ve never heard of people [...]

Indeed!! It was a perfect way to spend a chilly Sunday evening in the city last weekend to go out for a screening and to listen to what the producers, the director and the actors of this movie had to talk about. I was happy to see the intelligent Colin Firth and the quirky personality [...]

Are you ready to be a STAR? I mean… “Digitally Successful”? About 10 days ago, a NYC band called “Atomic Tom” posted a video taken from their iphones on Youtube, shooting their live subway performance. Their musical instruments? iPhones and iPhones only! In about three days from posting their video, their album hit #38 on [...]

It’s 10.10.10. today. It’s beautiful out. 10.10.10. in binary code, symbolizes “42,” which leads to “Answer to the Ultimate Questions of Life, the Universe and Everything.” What I’m gonna do tonight to celebrate my presence in NYC for 10.10.10? Searching for my answer to the Ultimate Questions? Well… I’m going out for a big Italian [...]

Oooooh. Aaaaah. Yesterday, I saw a beautiful RAINBOW on my way to the Premiere Screening of “The Social Network” hosted by New York Tech Meetup. I could see all the plasma colors at both ends of the arch. ^^ clearly. When I arrived at the screening totally intoxicated by the rainbow colors, the theater was [...]

What is Steam Punk? Hmmm… If I dare to summarize in one phrase, it would be “A Fantasy Trip to the Futuristic Past!” or “Retro to the Future!” Steam Punk used to be underground culture here in New York. It has become more embraced by a large population. But still… There are many New Yorkers [...]

There is something about Scandinavia. I see serious creative flows in many different areas, music, film, fashion, new media… It feels like European (because it is), but edgier and a bit darker. Cool, edgy, innovative, creative, sentimental, high-quality, dark, punk and funky… These are the descriptive words I can come up with when I think [...]

COOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Music of Precision and Perfection!!! Did u notice? The studio camera peeking through the audience’ camera. Blended lines of UGC and professional shots. It’s sooo late 2000s. Reminds me of my old days, going to independent bands’ performances, hopping over underground cubs here in NYC. Key Word here: SCANDINAVIA!
