A few weeks ago I was delighted to be able to attend the Thor:Ragnarok pre-screening and press junket. I'll tell you all about the film on Friday, but right now I want to share my take-away from the press junket. Jon and I had seen the film the night before and couldn't stop talking about it for days."That scene in Hulk's room! LOL!" "The ...

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 – The Junket
Kurt Russell. Chris Pratt. Sylvester Stallone. There was a fabulous line up of starts at the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 junket. But these three own my heart. I'm not giving anything away here by telling you that Kurt Russell plays Ego in the new Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. Ego just happens to be Peter Quill's dad. I'll review the film in ...
Captain America: Civil War Review
When I first saw the original trailers for Captain America: Civil War I was bummed. I mean, we all love the Avengers. But we love them united. Am I right? I have to admit that I wasn't sure they could pull off an Avenger Civil War without turning one of the original heroes into a Really Bad Guy. So I kept my expectations low and let myself be ...
Captain America Civil War Press Conference – Team Cap vs. Team Ironman
Every year around this time, we movie fans start getting a little excited. It's time for the Summer Blockbusters! This year, we have been waiting, rather impatiently, for the release of the newest addition to the Marvel Universe - Captain America: Civil War. Part excitement, part curiosity. How are they going to craft a story where the ...
5 Cuban Desserts That You Need To Master
I pretty much love all Cuban food. That's really no secret, is it? I've raised my family to enjoy Cuban food. In fact, Ropa Vieja and Picadillo are in heavy rotation around here. Also, my son, Adam, will always request Carne con Papas over any other food I make because it's THAT GOOD. The one thing I don't make every night is dessert. But when I ...
‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Review – Marvelous!
Let's face it, I'm already a self-confessed Marvel Fangirl, so I went into the screening of Avengers: Age of Ultron with really high expectations. I am not exaggerating when I say that not only were my expectations met, they were fantastically exceeded. Yes, of course, this much anticipated entry into the Marvel ...
Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron – Press Day
I should probably start with a disclaimer about how this post is going to have lots of photos (you can thank me later) and be really long and fangirly (<--is that a word?) and I'm probably most definitely going to be gushing. (Oh, no! There's going to be gushing?) I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Marvel's ...
Movie Review: Big Hero 6
A few weeks ago Eric and I had the good fortune to enjoy a pre-screening of the newest Disney Animation film, Big Hero 6. Because we live a few area codes away from Burbank, where the Walt Disney Animation Studio is located, we turned it into a Road Trip/Date Night. First of all, let me say that I had no preconception of the movie, nor ...
Captain America: The Winter Soldier – a Review
I am pretty much the worst person to have with you in a movie theater when the film in question is an action/adventure type. It has to do with learning styles. Let me explain... 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 ...
Captain America: The Winter Soldier *sigh*
I got to attend another press junket a few weeks ago. Also, it's just recently that I've started actually using the word, "junket" with regularity in coherent sentences. Mostly because I finally looked it up. jun•ket noun 1. a sweet, custardlike food of flavored milk curdled with rennet.2. a pleasure excursion, as a picnic or ...
