Last year I had the privilege of attending an event at the Disney Animation Studio and I was overwhelmed by pretty much everything I saw and experienced. That was for Frozen. You would think, then, that I would not be very impressed with the idea of going back again to attend a press junket for Walt Disney Animation Studios' newest ...

Alexander and the…Very Bad Day
I have a confession to make, I was not prepared to like this movie. But let me tell you why... If you read my post from yesterday, you know that Jonathan worked as a featured background guy on the new Disney movie, Alexander and the Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. And if you did read all about it, you know that I'm going to be completely ...
From the Set to the Red Carpet – NOT A Very Bad Day at All
Sit back. Get some popcorn. I have a wonderful "full circle" type story for you today. Jonathan worked on the film, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day last summer as a featued background actor. It started almost exactly a year ago when Jonathan decided he might like to give acting a shot. He signed up with a ...
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day Press Junket
I had the absolute pleasure to attend the press junket last week for the newest Disney release, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

Million Dollar Arm – A Review
I realize that any movie review is completely subjective to the reviewers taste. My view on this, however, is that if you've been reading my blog long enough, you know the type of person I am and so you'll get a better perspective of where I'm coming from when I talk about the movies I have seen. Today I'm going to tell you ...
It’s the Real Thing
You know that we Cubans love baseball and have embraced it as part of our national identity. A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to attend a press junket for the upcoming Disney film, 'Million Dollar Arm,' which is about a sports agent named JB Bernstein, played by the handsome and talented Jon Hamm of Mad Men ...
What I Love About Summer Concerts at the Hollywood Bowl
ATTENTION: Today I have a Public Service Announcement from the Hollywood Bowl and the LA Phil. Because I love you. Also, you can just call it 'The Bowl' like us cool kids do, but that's not important right now. Summer is rapidly approaching (yay!) and that means it's time to start making Summer Bucket List plans. Read about how ...
Captain America: The Winter Soldier – a Review

Because I'm a visual learner and have a vivid imagination, I see things and feel them viscerally and then I react audibly. (Of course, you could chalk this up to the ...
