Le Critique: Grey’s Anatomy Music Event

The much anticipated Grey’s Anatomy Music Event came and went. Much like everyone else, I was of course skeptic, but not as much as everyone else actually. It’s because I’ve always known that Sara Ramirez is a respectable singer (hello, Tony Award winner?!), and that Chandra Wilson also has a musical background. I’ve thought several [...]

IMHO: Things I Miss About the Old Grey’s Anatomy

I religiously watched Grey’s Anatomy from seasons 1 through 4. Season 5, I didn’t care missing some episodes, I just watched them online. Season 6, I didn’t watch the entire season until it finished and season 7 had already started. A couple of months ago, I caught up on season 7, but I don’t watch [...]

There are nine movies opening this week. I remember when there were nine opening in a month! – Arthur Abbott, The Holiday I am an avid movie-goer. Um and I always tried to catch the ones that catch our interest. Sometimes we even went to the theaters more than we should because of the thousands [...]

Guilty Pleasure: @ZacharyLevi

I did not watch a lot of TV when I was in the Philippines. Not that I did not want to relax and submit myself to the universal favorite pastime of couch potato-ing, I just did not have the time to. Because of this, I have not heard of Zachary Levi before Chuck. I actually [...]

Guilty Pleasure: iCarly

Parents usually know all these shows on Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, Cartoon Network and whatever networks that cater to kids because they watch these shows with their children. Every now and then, though, there are kiddie shows that attract adults – even those without children! I believe this is not limited to TV shows, too. I [...]

Le Critique: Book Review: Wicked, The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

SPOILER ALERT: I am somewhat describing the plot and will have constant references to different parts of the book. The last revisionist novel that I read was Anne Rice’s Sleeping Beauty series, which of course is not the Sleeping Beauty of Disney charm. I read those novels a million years ago in high school and [...]

Le Critique: Movie Review: Inception (2010)

Oh boy, not another Inception review. Lol! Well, by now the whole world (except probably Ms C) has seen the movie. I won’t really even bother to give a spoiler alert. Just my two cents as usual. We follow Dom Cobb (Leo DiCaprio), a professional extractor of information, as he enters the depths of one’s [...]

Moving Posts: Older is Wiser

This post was written when one of the most influential and talented personalities in the Philippines, FrancisM, passed away last year. A year ago today, one of the biggest personalities passed away. Michael Jackson, you love him or you hate him, was undeniably talented. One way or another, he gave what he can offer to [...]

Le Critique: Book Review: The Winner Stands Alone by Paulo Coelho

SPOILER ALERT: I am somewhat describing the plot and will have constant references to different parts of the book. I would say that of all Paulo Coelho books I have read, and I have read a good number of them, The Winner Stands Alone is the closest to the world as we know it. Pilar, [...]

Cybertechnology

Well, I don’t know if there’s really such a term. I’m writing the draft on Word and the red underline appeared. I am, however, sticking to the title. Captain Awesome has social network accounts. The first one was Friendster, which I created years back when having your infants have social network accounts was all cute. [...]
