Film: The Devils Double

Yeah I saw Transformers 3 and  Captain Americawas great. I flock to a blockbuster movie as much as anyone else. What I really love is a good low budget independent film festival cinema. Especially a foreign gangster flick.

“The Devils Double”, now playing in selected theaters, takes place in Baghdad in 1987. This is based on the true story of Latif Yahia who is chosen(forced) to be the body double for Uday Hussein the son of Saddam Hussein.  Both Latif & Uday are played by actor Dominic Cooper, who also stars in Captain America as Howard Stark. Father of Tony Stark. Father like son.

Of course Uday lives a wild crazy life of parties,cigars,gold guns, sex, violence,drugs,murder,cars & palaces. Uday earned the nickname “Black Prince” and people also want to kill him. The Devils Double is directed by Lee Tamahori who also directed ,”Die Another Day” and “XXX:State of the Union”…XXX was terrible.

I have not sen this film yet just released yesterday, but will be seeing this in theaters. Check the preview…

American Shave Bike Day 2011 Pics

I had a great time at the 3rd Annual American ShaveBike Day. I don’t ride, but being here kinda made me want a bike. AM Shave provided a.c., cuts,shaves, good food & plenty of cold beverages for everyone on one of the hottest days of the year. Thanks to The Smoke~N~Loungefor providing cigars,fresh hand rolls & hosting the after party.

Check out some of the pics from that day & night. The bike competition was tough. A lot of nice bikes out there. I don’t want to hear about how you would have won “if” you came. You didn’t ! Maybe next year.

Shout out to my LUXE homie Darren he won the Top pick plaque from iRide United and 2nd place trophy for his Cruiser!

Smoke~N~Lounge after party!

Rihanna Loud Tour 2011 N.J.

Rihanna stopped in New Jersey on her Loud Tour at the Izod Arena. I thought the album was more than good enough to see live. Very sexy erotic performance. Fun and diverse crowd had a real good time.

Rihanna sounds great live forget what you may have heard. J. Cole opened the show, Rihanna held it down & Jay Z shut it down! Here are some pics & follow Rihanna on twitter @rihanna. Luxe.

Zarkana Cirque Du Soleil

I was more than pleased to have been invited by Cirque Du Soleil to view their new production Zarkana at Radio City Music Hall. I admit I had never been to a Cirque production. Within the first 2 minutes of the show I said to myself,”Shame on me”, for not getting here sooner. All those terrible boxing matches I sat through. I could have been here.

Before heading to the show there was a Pre-show reception at Oceana Restaurant . Clean and modern with an almost empty Louis XIII bottle set high on the bar. Courteous wait staff served cocktails, wines, hors d’oeuvres & desserts. The Cirque team was pleasant and organized. Within walking distance to Radio City(across the street) I am ready to enter Zarkana.

Cirque Du Soleil has some circus like characteristics. Add the acrobatics, but minus the poor tigers that walk on beach balls. Zarkana has a story and is sensual but not erotic. Zarkana has it opera moments, comic relief, crowd interactive & a short intermission. Great for the entire family from the youngest to grandparents.

“Zark” the main character searching for his love and lost magical powers in Zarkana. This is an imaginative world filled with oddities, beautiful creatures and villains. The production and sets are just crazy with detail. I was expecting Johnny Depp to pop out any minute. Not long ago I mentioned being spontaneous is good exercise to staying young and healthy. Seeing Zarkana reminds me that imagination is just as important.

With the threat of NBA,NFL & NHL lockouts now is a good time to broaden those horizons. The stadiums may be closed but the Theater district & museums are open. If you have never been to a Cirque show go. If you have but you have yet to see Zarkana these characters are not to be missed.

Crooks&Castles Violento Sunglasses

My name is Serious Bok and I have a sunglasses addiction…

Crooks&Castlesdelivers with another piece of eyewear worthy to adorn my face. Last year or maybe the year before the Crooks Mosley Tribes were and still are hot. Recently I made sure to pick up the Crooks , “Violentos”, which means violent in Italian. Light weight, NWA-ish and Versace inspired Medusa on the arms. The black bandanna pouch just added a little more gangsta.
