Large On The Streets

Vado has been hard at work, in the studio, shooting videos and on his interview/media grind too. So, please do look out for that Boss of All Bosses 2.5 – should be out any day now… and SLime Flu will quickly follow!

Well, this past week Natty Photo reached out to us about shooting photos of Vado, and when I saw his work, I was very impressed, so we invited him along to Vado’s video shoot for “Large On The Streets” being directed and shot by Factory Media 15 Films. Here are a few behind the scenes still shots taken by Freddy (Natty Photo).

Nothin on You

One of my latest music obsessions has been with the B.o.B.  and Bruno Mars track “Nothin’ On You.” Not only is this song at the top of the charts in heavy radio rotation, but it’s a feel good song with a beautiful melody and lyrics that’d make any girls heart melt! Side note: I actually met Bruno Mars in studio a couple years ago while stopping by to see my friend Stereotypes…small world! Anyway, I also love the music video and it’s vision for the song.

And then…I came across this great collabo for “Nothin’ on You + Soul Sister” by Sam Tsui & AHMIR. It’s just one of those things I can hear over and over again!

Quotes – Our Family Wedding

I decided to do a different kind of ‘blog’ instead of my usual “review”…and this time I figured I’d get some quotes from friends who watched the movie – since I instructed everyone to do so! lol Personally, I enjoyed it, especially since my girl Anjelah‘s in it, but honestly, there are so many similarities in the story and characters to people I know in real life! Even though I’m Filipino-American and the story involves a Mexican-American family, our cultures are alike in so many ways, it was easy for me to put myself in her shoes! See what people are saying…

“It was funny and easy to relate to! My fave scene was when she sang to Marcus in her PJ’s. “Abort…abort!” Haha! :)” – Riza

“That movie was hilarious!!!! Thank goodness my Granny ain’t psycho! I wonder if part 2 be about the Asians lol” – Jennifer

“It was great seeing Carlos’ & Forrest’s characters battling it out…FUN” – ckinjo1

And I lifted these off her FB Fan page…

“I laughed so hard throughout the entire movie! “Wanna Bounce?” LMAO!” – Justin

“I loved the scene where Anjelah is singing with the mariachis!! Great job!” – Amy

“Absolutely LOVED it! Can’t wait for it to come out on DVD and for Anjelah’s next film!” – Angie

Green Zone

Finally Friday and I can write about Green Zone. Let me start by saying after viewing the film, I immediately tweeted “Super EXCELLENT Great movie!” This movie, is action-packed, thought provoking and captivating from start to end. I guess I probably should’ve done a little background check before I stepped in the theater to see it, but I just figured Matt Damon, ‘Bourne’ movies, it’ll be good. Little did I know that as soon as the movie started my heart would start racing and the adrenaline pumping…and it didn’t stop the whole time I sat there and watched. Green Zone is set in Baghdad, Iraq, so it uses the war as the backdrop and setting to examine theories and issues of why Americans are there – in this case, looking for WMD (weapons of mass destruction), and also gives more insight into what it may be like for the soldiers fighting overseas, and also what the Iraqi people live and see everyday. I am definitely a fan of true to life stories and I enjoy watching war-genre films as well, so this was right up my alley. I think it was very well done. The images, storyline and acting are top notch and made me feel like I was there… Yes, my mind kept racing as I tried to keep up with what was going on and where the story was going, while also trying to figure out what was going to happen next! I really enjoyed watching the movie and hey, Matt Damon’s not bad to look at either! 🙂 Green Zone is a MUST SEE!!

Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland is a visually stimulating, fun-filled ride into a beautiful world of fantasy. Right off the top, the vibrant colors and unique characters suck you in with 3D visuals. Tim Burton’s spin-off from the original tale works very well and Disney has a hit once again! I know going into it, it seemed like it might be scary for the little ones given the trailer, but I can assure you..it’s not too “scary.” I just really enjoyed seeing all these characters come to life with such authenticity and personality. Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Anne Hathaway in character as the White Queen and Helena Bonham Carter playing the Red Queen, all do fantastic jobs playing their parts. The story is so captivating and never was there a dull moment, again from the stunning visuals which keep you captivated from start to finish, cute dialogue, beautiful costuming and action, adventure, comedy and drama! Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb were also very charming in a “clueless” way! A few of my favorite things from the movie: the “EAT ME” cake in the film looked so yummy I wanted to try it – figures my sweet tooth always consumes my thoughts, I also loved Johnny Depp’s carrot orange eyebrows and winter wonderland (white) castle, landscaped with so many cherry blossom trees – SO Pretty!! So my suggestion is see it in 3D, see it in IMAX, it’s fun, it’s fantasy, it’s a must see!

On The Flipside turns ONE

My labor of love On The Flipside turns ONE with the Super Bowl – Ocean Drive episode! I started this journey about a year ago, deciding to do a show that I’ve always wanted to do, but didn’t exist and here it is one year later after the debut Tampa show from the 2009 Super Bowl to 2010 on Ocean Drive. This edition has got it all with celebs from sports and entertainment, attending the hottest Super Bowl parties, walking the red carpet and partying it up by the pool..and make sure you watch it all the way through to see the 26 Pro Bowl Cheerleaders in an ultra sexy fashion show at the W Hotel in South Beach!
