75 Years of Marvel with Stan Lee, Roy Thomas and Kevin Smith at the Hammer Museum

  Let me ask you this… What was the first Marvel comic book you owned? When did you purchase your first Marvel comic book? It was in 1939 that Marvel Comics began in New York led by Stanley Martin Lieber, known as Stan Lee. It was also the same year my mom was born. In […]

Bob Odenkirk is a mega-star in the comedy-writing world. His impressive resume includes writing for “Saturday Night Live” that won him an Emmy, “The Dennis Miller Show”, and “The Ben Stiller Show” where he won another Emmy for his writing.

Minnie Driver Performs at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano

“Mesmerized” is the word I will use to describe Minnie Driver’s voice at her concert at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano last November 26th.

Brooke Shields Book Signing Event at Barnes and Noble Americana Glendale

Growing up I have always admired Brooke Shields for her beauty and talent. She was my ultimate model/actress idol. I vividly recall when the movie “The Blue Lagoon” was showing at the theater. I could not see it because I was too young. After a couple years, I finally saw it with some of my […]

Ed Asner, The CHiPs cast and Lark Voorhies (Saved by the Bell) at The Hollywood Show

I always look forward to going to The Hollywood Show four times a year. It has always been a tradition for my family and I. The Hollywood Show is one of the best memorabilia and celebrity shows where you can talk to a celebrity in an intimate manner. On my most recent visit (Oct. 18th), […]

Neil Patrick Harris Book Signing at Barnes and Noble The Grove Los Angeles

I grew up watching Neil Patrick Harris in Doogie Howser, M.D. in the late 80s and early ’90s. The theme song was catchy that it often played in my mind after the show as I drifted off to sleep so I think subconsciously, it might have influenced me to be a blogger. Toward the end […]

“Life moves pretty fast; if you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it!” – Ferris Bueller When I learned about the screening of the 1986 buoyant and life-affirming comedy Ferris Bueller’s Day Off at LACMA‘s Bing Theater, I jumped at the chance to attend.

Long Beach Comic Con

I have never been to a Comic Con event. I’ve been to Wonder Con in Anaheim but this is my first time to witness all the media hype about Comic Con. I went to Comic Con/Comic Expo in Long Beach last September 27th. It’s an annual event held at Long Beach Convention Center. It’s much smaller than San Diego […]
