Man vs. Monster: GODZILLA’s Patrick Sabongui

Between writing, directing, and producing, many of today’s Hollywood actors wear several different hats when it comes to the projects they choose to work on. Variety is the spice of life, and actors who solely act are becoming less and less common as the years go on. But actor Patrick Sabongui chose to add a different title onto his resume: stunt man.

The Top 5 show featured the contestants picking from a list of songs chosen by the twitter verse. Needless to say, I had high hopes because I figured the Idol audience could pick some really great songs that would push the contestants out of their boundaries. Let’s see if I was right…

After Snow White and company spent the better half of the third season trying to defeat Zelena (better known as The Wicked Witch of the West), you’d think the witch’s death would mean happily ever after for our fairy tale heroes. Alas, that is not how things work on ABC’s Once Upon a Time. Sunday’s 2-hour finale found Emma and Hook sent back to the past via Zelena’s time portal, witnessing our favourite fairy tales unravel all over again — and trying their best not to change the future.

American Idol XIII: Top 7 and Top 6 Performances – “Choose Wisely America”

After losing Malaya the week after the save was used, I didn’t know what to expect going into these next two weeks of performance. Would another frontrunner botch a performance and end up having their journey cut short or would the Idol audience finally banished the underperforming pair of CJ and Dexter? I like to […]

Bold and Brave: BRICK MANSIONS’ Carolina Bartczak

Some actors catch the acting bug early—they dream of working on big Hollywood pictures as a child and fantasize about accepting their Best Actor Academy Award by the age of twenty-five.

Captain of Commerce: Lessons Learned From Disney’s Box Office Triumph

Even with their overwhelming popularity and consistent box office dominance, there is still plenty of skepticism toward comic book movies. The fact that they are still primarily referred to as “comic book movies” is proof in and of itself that these films are considered to be more of a subset of the Action genre (much […]

Given the use of the save, I thought I’d review both of Top 8 weeks together. So, spoiler alert: in case you didn’t know, someone gets saved. I’ll talk about the merits of that save later, but for now, let’s get to the first of our Top 8 nights. The theme was audition songs and […]
