This is probably the most obscure title I have to type. And I haven’t even gotten to the pictures. Any fan of the Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice would probably have a working knowledge of the wet shirt scene, a.k.a. sexy Mr Darcy scene, a.k.a. sexy lake scene. Although in the book in its consistent theme of strict prudence when it came to the man who owned half of Derbyshire, this scene never happened, the BBC mini series adaptation thought it fit to install a few minutes wherein the dapper Colin Firth falls off his horse into his own lake,…

A know-it-all FBI agent, a Boston cop who has a personal grudge against hygiene, a Russian drug mob (of course), plus throw in an chauvinistic albino, a muy caliente FBI boss, a Wayans brother, Joey McIntyre (I don’t know why) and a slew of genius SNL casting spots and you got yourself the Heat. The female buddy cop comedy is the first of its sort from Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) and arguably the first of its kind in a genre dominated by men. The movie is led by comedy genius Sandra Bullock as FBI agent with a long rod up her bottom, Sarah Ashburn,…

In my ongoing yet choppy quest to go organic without completely breaking the bank, I have come to know a true friend in Human Heart Nature (or to me, just Human Nature). The brand is proudly Filipino, pro-poor and pro-environment, its slogan already strumming the right chord on my social conscience. Add the fact that the products are affordable, organic, and effective, well then I am sold. The following are my tried and tested favorites:
