“The People We Hate at the Wedding” movie review
“The People We Hate at the Wedding” introduces us to a new genre of movie, “The Raunch-Com”! And I for one am a huge fan. Not just because it stars Allison Janney, Kristen Bell and Ben Platt but because it is so over-the-top funny, raunchy (delightful use of the F-bomb and adult scenes) and poignant […]

“The Fabelmans” movie review
Fasten your seatbelts as here we go with my review of “The Fabelmans”, Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical paean (some like the word homage better) to his adolescence and family.

Highlights: Syracuse (both the town central island and the ruins of Syracuse long glory years – Greek and Roman, The non-touristy hill towns, […]

10 reasons you should visit Capetown, South Africa
“This is the last call for Flight 827 departing Cape Town to Nairobi,” said the lady announcer, and my friend tugged at me, “Hey! I think that’s for us.” I was quite zoned out still reliving the past few days in South Africa. I was in awe of how two hours had flown right past […]
