Alice in Wonderland is a visually stimulating, fun-filled ride into a beautiful world of fantasy. Right off the top, the vibrant colors and unique characters suck you in with 3D visuals. Tim Burton’s spin-off from the original tale works very well and Disney has a hit once again! I know going into it, it seemed like it might be scary for the little ones given the trailer, but I can assure you..it’s not too “scary.” I just really enjoyed seeing all these characters come to life with such authenticity and personality. Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Anne Hathaway in character as the White Queen and Helena Bonham Carter playing the Red Queen, all do fantastic jobs playing their parts. The story is so captivating and never was there a dull moment, again from the stunning visuals which keep you captivated from start to finish, cute dialogue, beautiful costuming and action, adventure, comedy and drama! Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb were also very charming in a “clueless” way! A few of my favorite things from the movie: the “EAT ME” cake in the film looked so yummy I wanted to try it - figures my sweet tooth always consumes my thoughts, I also loved Johnny Depp’s carrot orange eyebrows and winter wonderland (white) castle, landscaped with so many cherry blossom trees - SO Pretty!! So my suggestion is see it in 3D, see it in IMAX, it’s fun, it’s fantasy, it’s a must see!
Check out this cool music video my sister helped do the “set design” for…
Adrienne says, “It was a lot of fun…shot in still frames. I made the “Southern Comfort” bottle, lemonade stand, light bulb, and sun to name a few.” You can learn more about my talented sister and see some of her design work at http://adrienneaquino.com

My labor of love On The Flipside turns ONE with the Super Bowl - Ocean Drive episode! I started this journey about a year ago, deciding to do a show that I’ve always wanted to do, but didn’t exist and here it is one year later after the debut Tampa show from the 2009 Super Bowl to 2010 on Ocean Drive. This edition has got it all with celebs from sports and entertainment, attending the hottest Super Bowl parties, walking the red carpet and partying it up by the pool..and make sure you watch it all the way through to see the 26 Pro Bowl Cheerleaders in an ultra sexy fashion show at the W Hotel in South Beach!

I LOVED this movie! So cute, original and refreshing - a totally new approach to the ‘romantic comedy’ genre!! Kristen Bell plays the career-oriented single gal who’s had her heart broken too many times and is starting to give up on the idea of “LOVE.” Ladies..I know ya’ll feel me on that! Anyway, her “luck” takes an interesting turn when she goes to Rome for her sister’s wedding and the story unfolds from there. This film has humor, charm, wit and it’s just fun! It stays away from the typical and injects other true to life scenario’s and events, so you can’t help but to smile! BTW, Josh Duhamel is looking very cute as her love interest in the movie as well… But yes, WATCH THIS, it’s not just for the ladies!! The only thing I wasn’t too keen on is the film’s title…but I enjoyed it so much, they can call it what they want!
AND — while watching, I couldn’t help but reminisce about when I was in Rome 3 years ago with my sisters…
They LOVED me and the sisters in Rome…the pizza-makers surprised us with “special” heart-shaped pizzas! Ahhh, the memories…of LUV!!
AND — check out Millz latest Run for Mayor video, off his latest “The Flood Warning” mixtape. The video was shot by the talented Derick G and also features Millz’ Young Money mates - Tyga and Gudda!
Excellent. I went into this screening, not knowing too much about the film, so I didn’t know what to expect other than the few clips I had seen on the TV trailer. First off, the cinematography is beautiful, very artistic and dramatic in it’s use of colors, or not really…the tones are muted out, no bright colors, and it really gives it this desolate, desert-like feel of dust and waste. Denzel Washington is smooth as ever with his character Eli - a cool, calm, collected man walking the wasteland of the “future” protecting “the book.” Gary Oldman plays Carnegie - bad guy, one of the few men left from “before (the war).” He is desperately seeking “the book,” as he believes it will be the key to rebuilding, but of course his intentions are self-serving.
Apparently there was some type of big war that pretty much ended life and society as we know it in present day, with all our materialism and excess…so, we’re transported to a time in future, where the very things we take for-granted everyday, are the “simple” luxuries people will fight over in the future, when our resources are gone! It’s extremely thought-provoking as well as insightful, and not beyond possible. The scenes do get pretty crazy at times, might make you cringe or make your eyes wide…you’ll think about faith, and wonder, “what would I do?”
BTW, Josh Duhamel is looking very cute as her love interest in the movie as well… But yes, WATCH THIS, it’s not just for the ladies!! The only thing I wasn’t too keen on is the film’s title…but I enjoyed it so much, they can call it what they want!
