I forgot to mention that I went to a screening of AWAY WE GO earlier in May, starring the adorable John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph. Now, you know I'd see probably anything that John Krasinki is in, and I was very excited to see this flick based on the charming trailers.
But, even though there were some great smaller roles and tender and funny moments in it, I wasn't very impressed with the movie overall. It was a tad boring, and I'm not sure I liked Maya Rudolph in the lead. And although I usually like Alexi Murdoch, his soundtrack didn't blow me away either.
I guess I'm not doing a good job of explaining, but there just was a handful of elements that have already been done. Too bad 'cause I really wanted to like it.

Review Round-Up
First of all, a hearty congrats to Nikolay Davydenko on winning the Sony Ericsson Open today and beating Andy Roddick and Rafa Nadal along the way (sorry, Lady Lorelei).
Okay so, I've been accumulating several reviews that I've been wanting to share with y'all, and I thought I'd just put them in one post:
1) First and foremost, I'd like to introduce you to TWIST water, a new all natural flavored water with only 10 calories per serving and no preservatives. As you may know, my tennis nickname is "Twisty", so of course, I really dig the name of this product. But in addition to the cute name and company motto ("As in life, chill for best results."), I really like the variety of exotic flavors that this water comes in (mango acai, pomegranate blueberry, and mandarin white tea to name a few). All of my friends who have tried TWIST agree that the subtle flavors are delicious and refreshing. My favorite flavor BY FAR is the organic West Indies Lime, and although I wish it didn't have the 2 grams of sugar (aka organic agave nectar) per serving in it, I'm seriously on the hunt for more of it (maybe 'cause it reminds me of a healthy water version of a Cuba Libre?). TWIST is sold at select Ralphs and Whole Foods, so keep your eye out for it. I recommend it, and YES, it's LADY HOOLIGAN APPROVED!
2) Last week, Bill and I finally got back to our movie-going and saw STOP-LOSS (starring Ryan Phillippe, Channing Tatum, Abbie Cornish and Joseph Gordon-Levitt). Overall, it was a decent flick. THE PROS: (obviously) the eye-candy, Ryan and Joseph's impressive performances, fellow tennis playa Timothy Olyphant is in it, and the general awareness-raising on the horrendous stop-loss policy of the U.S. military. THE CONS: not understanding Abbie's Texan accent, some music-video-style direction (well, it's a MTV Films co-production after all), some general cheeziness and (for me, not Bill) not enough perspective on the Middle-Eastern view on the U.S. occupation of Iraq.
3) Recently, some folks from work and I had lunch at a cute and casual sidewalk cafe called PRANA (located on the corner La Cienega and Melrose Place, adjacent to its sister restaurant/club, Republic). It's open for breakfast and lunch, and the food is delicious. In addition to yummy soups and paninis, they have Cap'n Crunch coated deep-fried brioche french toast! I really recommend this place because the food is so much better and about the same price than most of those crowded and somewhat overrated cafes on 3rd Street (e.g. TOAST).
4) Finally, back on the movie tip (yes, I still use 90's hip-hop lingo), Bill, Lady Stacy and I saw LEATHERHEADS today. As you may know, I'm a big John Krasinski (from "The Office") fan. So, I only wanted to see this because of him, and Bill and Lady Stacy both dig George Clooney. But, although it was lovely to see John Krasinki smiling on the big screen, I thought the movie was kind of boring, hokey and slightly lame. So, if you want to see it at all, perhaps just rent it?

2) DJ extraordinaire, EJL (aka Dogg), is the subject of a glowing and well-deserved article in the OC Weekly!
P.S. The adorable John Krasinski (of THE OFFICE and LEATHERHEADS) is on Conan O'Brien tonight!

New Music (&DVD) Tuesday
There's no BS here! Here are the only music releases I'm interested in today:
Free music is always nice too though...
And these DVDs have caught my eye:
P.S. I feel sort of obligated to mention that cutie John Krasinki's (terrible) summer movie, License to Wed, is out today too.

More Important But...
I know there are more important things in the world, but...
1) Chelsea beat Bolton today!
2) At the risk of jinxing it, Sweet Cheeks Becks might actually grace us with his presence on the pitch this month.
3) Jimmy Fallon will most likely take over for Conan O'Brien when Conan moves to The Tonight Show in 2009. It sounds like the dream late-night line-up to me. Conan is hysterical, and can you then imagine the adorable Jimmy Fallon interviewing someone like the equally adorable John Krasinski?!?!? Pure heaven!
4) Amy Sedaris chats with Martha Stewart about bong water!
5) In men's tennis, Marat Safin is in Moscow this week for the Kremlin Cup. He'll take on a qualifier in the first round. Robby Ginepri, on the other hand, takes on Novak Djokovic in his first round of the BA-CA TennisTrophy (sic) tournament in Vienna!

More Important But...
I know there are more important things in the world, but...
1) John Terry is a sore loser like I am, which only makes me love him more!
2) Jenna Fischer (who plays Pam on "The Office") has split from her husband. The dork fan in me now sort of wants her to hook up in real-life with John Krasinski (who plays Pam's beloved Jim on the show)...
3) "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style" premieres tonight at 10pm on BRAVO. I'll probably tune in, even though I'm not a big fan of Veronica Webb (who's Tim's sidekick on the show).
4) A pro women's soccer league is set to launch in the U.S. in 2009. Thankfully, it's not called WUSA again and L.A. will actually have a local team!
5) Nov. '06 LH international cover-model, Simon, sent me fab new pics of his puppy, Thornton (sporting puppy hooligan attire of course)!
6) Happy Birthday, Uncle Cyrus. We miss you!
7) R.I.P. Luciano Pavarotti

Jim, I mean John
I'm a huge fan of the tv show "The Office", and the only reason I went to go see "Licensed to Wed" last night was because of the adorable and charming John Krasinski (who plays Jim on The Office). The movie was quite bad as I had expected, but (as I had hoped) it was so lovely to see John on the big screen and actually making out with someone (even if it was the annoyingly sad-faced Mandy Moore and not Pam/Jenna Fischer from The Office).
