I am not a big fan of Dirty Dancing. Sure, Jennifer Grey was one of my "just turned adolescent" fantasies thanks to Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I don't know if it was her "just rolled out of bed" perm, those eternally angry facial expressions that just scream sexiness, or that slick peach trench-coat of...

It's 2012 already, and the big topic in the UK is the forthcoming Olympic Games. Britain won the right to host the event by being the only country stupid enough to apply for it in the middle of a global economic meltdown, and already the games are running massively over budget, mainly due to...

Last year, we ended Halloween with a woulda/shoulda article on Halloween costumes we didn't see instead of going out and dressing ourselves up in those costumes. This is what happens when reality goes "meme": inside jokes that you never really thought about go viral, and then everyone is walking around with a miner's helmet....

I don't like the idea of a new Spiderman. That's right, I said it. I don't want to see a new Spiderman. Is this racist because the new up-and-coming hero of Marvel's Ultimate Spiderman is a half black, half hispanic teenager named Miles Morales?

I have to admit, I am not a regular strip club visitor. If I think back really hard, I may need both hands to count out the amount of times I've found myself in one. What I do have is the experience of a wide spectrum of "gentlemen's clubs". Full nudity shack where...

It seems that the kids here in the UK have a drinking problem: they're pouring alcohol into their eyes. This activity, known as 'Vodka eyeballing' is fast becoming a firm favorite with the British student population, who believe that the alcohol will be absorbed directly into the blood-stream, leading to a much faster hit...

As the year 2011 becomes a reality for all of us (apart from the USA which insists on 1120, for still unexplained reason- what is it with you guys and your crazy dating scheme), I don't mind telling you that I'm worried. That's because I'm a European and I'm innocent of all crimes committed...

I'm watching this interesting show on the History Channel (yes, I'm a nerd) called "The President's Book of Secrets". It caught my attention because I remember the mention of a book of secrets from the movie "National Treasure" (yes, I have poor taste in movies.) Anyway, I figured the show was worth...

The New York City Horror Film Festival is another breed of festival, because instead of being stuck in a room of producers and maybe a stunt-man from the movie you've watched, you are in a room of artists, with maybe one suit flying around to make sure people are using coasters for their drinks....

The only regrets Halloween ever brings are "I wish I didn't eat all the left-over candy" and "Why did so many people have to dress as Chewbacca this year?" It's a pretty good regret ratio, unless you hate Halloween, which means you regret the whole holiday.
But I do have another regret....
