OUR SPACE
I had heard about it, seen the hype, noted the obsession – but to be honest I didn’t get it. Last night, with the season premiere of the third installment of AMC’s The Walking Dead, I finally was awakened. First it was vampires. I saw twenty minutes of the first Twilight movie and had to…
It’s over in Venezuela. The people rallied together and brought to pass a fair vote. Right? They voted for the guy who has THEIR best interest in mind – the best interest of the whole country. Right? Chavez is their guy, right? Hmmm. You can let us know what you think in the comments, but the question here…
While the replacement referees have been calling the games since the preseason, insanity took over the gridiron this week; Packers fans whined (I guess I see their point), 49ers fans were in a bind, and everyone else lost their minds. But, alas, the NFL circus has ended; yesterday the referees and the league came to…
In the aftermath of The Toronto Film Festival, we thought we would offer a couple of top picks. Our eager film buff intern, Anet, spent countless hours scouring the trailers to keep herself up-to-date, and she now offers us her thorough feedback of the festival entire. Her top two picks are: Anna Karenina The Perks…
This past Friday, the stunning brunette, Eva Longoria, and hilarious George Lopez hosted the 2012 NCLR ALMA Awards to celebrate Hispanic achievements in entertainment, film, television and music. It was a night full of laughs, glitz and glamour. Below are five reasons why I thought it was a night I was sure not to miss…
Ever wonder how we can see the deceased again? This year, we’ve seen legends come “back to life” in various forms. As a fan of “throwing my twos up,” I was thrilled to see the west coast rap legend, Tupac Shakur, resurrected for one last time this past April in the form of a Hollogram…
Remember / Remember Tuesday, September 11, 2001 started out like any other day, but it quickly changed the American identity and became forever embedded in our history and our culture. We don’t need to really refresh you on the events that occurred 11 years ago today, but on the Two-for-Tuesday blogs we’re contributing, we can…
Last night’s conclusion of the three-day-long Republican National Convention (RNC) marked the beginning of the 2012 race to the White House. It’s official (although we all knew it) Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) will face off against Democratic President Barack Obama. We Americans have many questions to ask ourselves before taking to the polls in November—but…
Of course I am not insinuating that ANY athlete from ANYWHERE was or is on steroids. My title is altruistic, not accusatorial. My point is that I can’t think of a greater culmination of our world’s collection of cultures than the Olympics. Every four years, the best athletes from around the world compete on a…
Bruce Wayne claims in The Dark Knight Rises, which premiered last weekend, that he masks himself as Batman so that he stands as a symbol; the hero could be anyone. As we all know, a simple trip to the movie theater became a tragic unfolding of events for the people of Aurora, Colorado. We do not make light…
We have dreamt of this moment. We have wished it, thought it and some may have even prayed for it, and ladies and gentleman, it is finally here. Talking robots that respond to complaints and act on command have been a phenomenon exclusive to the big screen and our imagination. And now, finally, after a…
