We take the kids to see the latest Karate Kid flick with Will Smith’s son, JADEN, and JACKIE CHAN. The girls have already see the originals and LOVED them. The latest rendition was actually decent and Jaden was surprisingly a very good actor! Of course, the storyline was completely predictable and almost exactly like the [...]

Prince of Persia Review. Jake Gyllenhaal can be my Prince anyday.
Back to being on good terms, we take the kids to go see Prince of Persia. I wonder who picked this one? Actually, we all wanted to see it. I take out my camera to get some pics. Dick sees me and tells me to put it away. “They’re going to think you’re video taping. [...]
The family goes to see Avatar. It does not disappoint!!
I have been wanting to see Avatar long before it came out but haven’t been able to go see it until now. Of course, by now, it’s raked in a record $2.5 Billion worldwide and James Cameron will continue to rake in bazillions of dollars until long after he’s gone. I really didn’t know what [...]

Boursin Cheese and Mamma Mia starts off 2010 for us.
It’s about 10:30 when we’re done eating our yummy sushi at Katsuya so we head to Lucy’s house to chill. We’re watching the countdown on CNN but I think it’s a replay of the dropping of the ball in NY’s Time Square. Whatever, it’s still almost midnight for us so we use it as our own West Coast [...]
Some New Moon pictures to tease you if you didn’t see it over the opening weekend.
Dick and I finally took the girls to go see New Moon. All weekend they were asking when we would go. I have to admit, I was very slow to get on the Twilight bandwagon. When Twilight first came out, I thought it was some scary vampire movie. I don’t watch horror movies so I [...]
