One Thing

The movie “City Slickers” is an underrated movie in my book. It’s not only hilarious but there are many heart-warming memorable scenes such as Billy Crystal’s speech at his son’s school and the one where Jack Palance (Curly) shares his secret of life theory. He said it’s One Thing and Billy asked what that one…

Blake McGrath

One of my favorite performers ever from “So You Think You Can Dance” was Blake McGrath from season one. He might actually be my favorite period if it weren’t for his ego which prevented him from winning the first season of SYTYCD. Still, he ranks right up there with Benji who won season two and…

Carpe Diem

It should be no surprise that “Dead Poet’s Society” is one of my all-time favorite movies. After all, the name of this blog is “Seizing the Day” and clearly inspired by the Carpe Diem phrase from the movie which means Seize the Day! Even after all these years, I still think of this movie a…

Stealing Heaven

I love “Stealing Heaven” (1988) which is based on Margret Meade’s book that covers the true legend of the forbidden 12th century romance between Abelard and Heloise. He was a renown and controversial philosopher and she was a stunning beauty with extreme intelligence that drove the monastery crazy with all of her brilliant questions and…
