I started this new feature segment on KRON called “Aubrey About Town” and it’s about fun, hip and cool things to do in the Bay…you know stuff to explore, try and get into….
Here’s one of my newest and latest installments featuring The WOW Truck!
The Devil’s Double
So, I’m a little late on my “preview/review” of The Devil’s Double, since it’s out already and I watched it before it officially hit theaters, and well, I’m only getting around to it now. Don’t you love how the movie poster photo sort of depicts him as one of those metallic street performers you see acting all robotic for tips!
The film follows the true story of Latif Yahia, a man forced to be Saddam’s son Uday Hussein’s body double — which, unless you wanted to be in that circle, kinda sucks…and Latif pretty much had NO CHOICE but to do what they wanted. Overall, the movie was very interesting, insightful and gave me another perspective into that world. However, it was slow and didn’t ever really feel like there was a “high point” to the movie, sure there was action and drama, but it sort of fell flat…and this chick who played one of Uday’s many “lady friends” seriously annoyed me…LOL I kept thinking why does she make those expressions and talk like that?? haha! So, it was worth it to watch, but really my interest had been peeked when I watched the remix trailer my buddy Mike Relm did for Lionsgate… peep it below!
Sunday in the CITY
I spent a nice Sunday afternoon in the Sucka Free with some good friends at the Mixologi (Day) Party! I’m not much for going out and socializing at night clubs, etc… so, this event was a nice opportunity to get out and relax in the daylight when you can see everyone! haha! The event was held at 620 Jones – a nice venue with an outdoor patio…AND they serve food – MAJOR PLUS!! LOL Plus there was no cover…FREE always appeals to me…but the line did stretch a couple blocks for the latecomers.
My sister and Norma came out…
Lucena stopped by too, and by chance we ran into one of our Raiderette sisters, Pita!
The party was lots of fun..I had to keep reminding myself that we were in San Francisco…PERFECT MIX of a cool crowd, nice vibe AND good music —> RARITY!!! Shouts to Mixologi for putting together a very memorable event!
