Le Critique: Hole in the Wall: Morimoto’s Napa

Morimoto’s Napa 610 Main St, Napa, CA 94559 (707) 252-1600 Morimoto, as an Iron Chef, is pretty main stream and we all know that anything this Japanese genius would venture into is not particularly “hole in the wall”.

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.

Le Critique: Movie Review: Clash of the Titans (2010)

SPOILER ALERT: I’m not describing the plot that much but I do have references to the movie. Clash of the Titans 1981 is very near and dear to my heart. It reminds me of the summers my family spent at my grandparent’s house where in the quiet days of the Holy Week, we would put [...]
