Last two months were crazy. Here are some highlights, starting with Maria Sharapova and Friends tennis event a couple weekends ago. Ended up getting sick from that event but was worth it getting a photo with Sharapova.

Premieres for Magic Mike XXL, Terminator: Genisys, The Gallows

Little late due to Comic-Con and days of recovering but here's my review for Magic Mike XXL. For someone who has never seen the 1st Magic Mike, the sequel was quite entertaining, for some of scenes. Dancing was well choreographed and the soundtrack is quite good. You don't watch this movie for the acting. Not sure what Amber Heard's role was in the movie, which could have be played by nearly any other attractive blonde. Overall, I give it a C-plus. Would rate it higher if the likes of this beauty showed up in the movie.
Supermodel Samantha Hoopes
Meeting Samantha Hoopes was the highlight of the evening. I didn't even care for the movie after that haha. Photo doesn't do her justice and she's really cool in person. Follow her on Twitter and Instagram

Terminator: Genisys wasn't bad, better than the last two Terminator films and enough Arnold one liners for some added humor. Movie wasn't predictable, which is good by my standards. Lot of folks believe Jai (who plays Kyle) and Emilia (who plays Sarah) were miscasts but Emilia more than holds her own, getting her hands dirty in the film. At very least she looks like a younger Hamilton. Jai does a decent job, despite being outdone by Arnold and even Emilia. I give it a B-minus.
Director Robert Rodriguez

The Gallows is a fairly average horror flight in terms scare factor. The film picks up little steam halfway through, albeit becomes rather predictable the rest of the way save for one twist. The neat aspect of the film was they kept their real names for the movie, along with the unrealistic display of night vision from smartphones. For what it's worth, film was ok with the budget they were working with ($100K to be exact) so even if it makes a few million, that's huge. Get's a C-plus in my book, which is about average for most of the horror flicks these days.
Met Pfeifer Brown at the premiere. Follow her on Twitter and Instagram
Always a pleasure running into the lovely Amanda Cerny. If you don't know her yet, follow her on Twitter and Instagram

Review of Comic-Con in next blog post, as soon as I get through my photos haha.

LA Film Fest, E3, Extreme Autofest

Went to my first E3 a couple weeks ago from June 16th thru 18th (although I was only able to go for couple days) and it did not disappoint. Met quite a few familiar faces and some new ones, including quite a few athletes. Highlight was probably meeting Tony Hawk.

At an E3 after party at Samsung Studio, met the gorgeous Jessica Vargas who's an actress and model. Photo doesn't do her justice but you can follow her adventures on Instagram here.  

E3 also managed to coincide with LA Film Festival where I again ran into familiar faces and met new ones including Mark Ruffalo, Rene Russo, and Amanda Crew. Danielle Vasinova, Silvia Busuioc, and Bella Thorne were lovely as usual.

Maybe you've seen her in this video.
Watch for Deena in future roles. You can follow her on Instagram and Twitter.
Be back after the 4th with my reviews and coverage of Terminator: Genisys and Magic Mike XXL premiere. Happy Independence Day folks.

Superhumanoids, Insidious: Chapter 3, designLab, Make Music, Mr. Belding, Zombeavers, NVidamusic

Lot of events in last couple weeks but here are some highlights.

Met Sarah and Max of the group Superhumanoids, who were DJing the Stolen Access Granted gallery reception.

Insidious: Chapter 3 premiere was later in the week. Met quite a few celebs but no one too notable. Movie was alright, solid B, taking into account that's it's a scary movie and the fact that I'm a little biased after meeting half the cast.

The following day, went to designLab art reception at Pacific Design Center and who do I run into? Alyssa Arce and Peyton List (not to be confused with the Disney star).
Alyssa Arce, Playboy Playmate for July 2013
 Beautiful inside and out. Follow her on Twitter at @MissAlyssaArce or IG at @miss_alyssaarce

Peyton List (the slightly taller and more mature one)
Been wanting to meet her for years. Cool gal, and even more gorgeous in person. Anyone know if she has any social media, Twitter or Instagram perhaps? Totally forgot to ask.

Afterwards, went to a Team up for Tourette's charity event at The Attic in Hollywood. There, I ran into Dennis Hoskins. Yes, as in Mr. Belding from the show Saved by the Bell.
He's added a few pounds since his Mr. Belding days. Cool guy though. 

Following day was Make Music festival in Pasadena. Heard the band The Moth and the Flame rock out for second time in less than a year.
Lead singer Brandon

Afterwards, went to a special screening of Zombeavers where I met the lovely Cortney Palm who stars in the film.
If you haven't seen the movie yet, go catch it. Worth it just for Cortney and follow her on Twitter at https://twitter.com/cortneypalm5 or Instagram at @Vegan_actress


Last week went to support the group NVidaMusic at LA Pride festival. Awesome group of girls and great show as usual. Check them out on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/NVIDAMUSIC or Instagram @Nvidamusic

That's it for now. Still working on E3 and LA Film Fest pics.
