Philly Dining: Pizzeria Stella
As mentioned in my review of the movie Frances Ha, lunch prior to the screening was at Pizzeria Stella (420 S 2nd St, Philadelphia, PA 19106). Also as previously mentioned, slowly but surely, I aim to get around to all the Stephen Starr restaurants in the city, but he populates them so fast, I doubt I’ll ever catch up; my palate and stomach are willing, but my pocketbook still lags behind. Actually, Pizzeria Stella is quite affordable for those employed – LOL! Pies range from $11 – $19 and seem to be the exact right size for a party of two. Just don’t ask for meat to be added…

Henry Cavill: MAN OF STEEL
Well, as I’ve stated in two previous posts: Simply Marvel-ous: The 4 Comic Book Movies You Don’t Want to Miss and Grazing: THIS IS THE END I wholly approve of the new Superman Henry Cavill, I had seen him in the Immortals and I remember him being the only thing good about that movie; but it took him playing The Man of Steel to really capture my attention. I was surprised to also like Amy Adams as Lois Lane. When I first heard she’d be playing the role, I felt she was too over-exposed and that a lesser known actress should play the part. But as this Lois Lane character…

Grazing: THIS IS THE END
I experienced apocalyptic themes twice this week, first with Seth Rogan’s hilarious – what would it be like to experience the end of the world with all my famous friends movie This Is the End, and the next night, with the new gorgeous superMan of Steel, fighting his own race to save ours. My perfect last days scenario would be a combination of both movies – to hole up in a Hollywood mansion with Henry Cavill and hope not to ascend to heaven before he can bring me there himself – in any way he wants to! But lets get back to This Is the End. I can’t begin to…

Simply Marvel-ous: The 4 Comicbook Movies You Don’t Want to Miss
I’m psyched to see “The Wolverine” and the first “Thor” wasn’t bad, so I’m looking forward to that too. Chris Hemsworth was my choice for sexiest superhero until the new Superman “Man of Steel” Henry Cavill came bursting onto the screen last night! Now he’s got my vote. I’ve always preferred dark haired guys anyway, but when Hemsworth came on the scene, he toppled Robert Downey, Jr who is now #3. Hugh Jackman lost a tinge of sexiness for me after doing Broadway, it’s been a while since he was my #1, alas Wolverine has now fallen to 4th place. With Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk) taking up the rear as…
