I’m running out of great films to recommend! What to do, what to do… Oh, I know! I’ll just inquire of other people which films they’d recommend. And to keep it all in the spirit of PX This, I’ll ask some of the aficionados and arbiters in and around the F&B/Nightlife industry! Won’t that be […]

  Yeah so I wracked my brain trying to think of a nice, warm-hearted, feel-good movie to recommend for the holiday, but LOL!— I couldn’t come up with a single one (you haven’t already seen). So perhaps try: The Valet. It’s funny! Ya know, just in case you don’t really feel like watching football or […]

  Since it’s "scrappy liitle fucker" Filipino Appreciation Week here at PX This, my latest Netflix recommendation is Scratch. Originally suggested to me by an amazing "scrappy little fucker" Filipina friend, I marvelled at performances by ("scrappy little fucker" Filipino) Beastie Boys’ ‘Mike D,’ widely credited with inventing the "scratch" turntablism genre, and ("scrappy little […]

Valentino: The Last Emperor

  You may find this hard to believe, but PX This has always been much much more about Fashion than the F&B Industry. But, that’s not the only reason my Netflix recommendation of the week is Valentino: The Last Emperor. You see, one of the perks of being a PX This Dot Com administrator is […]

Who Killed…Capitalism… ?

October 19th, 2009
Capitalism_Love

Who Killed…Capitalism… [with] No End in Sight? Face it: even if you despise Michael Moore because you think he is a big fat hypocrite for capitalizing on his documentary about the hypocrisy of capitalism (or whatever it is you think or claim to think because you’re really a closet Republican or a wealthy CEO or […]

Yup, it’s perennial Travel Month at PX This. Hooray! But now it’s time to lighten it up just a bit around here, since I’m sure the last few film recommendations completely swept you up and away and had you sobbing and weeping like a pitiful little bitch. Have no fear— some laughter, hilarity and gaiety […]

That’s right; we’re still in Travel Mode here at PX This. In that vein, I present another one of my personal favorites: The Italian. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, it’s better than most movies you’ve probably ever seen in your lifetime. The Italian is undoubtedly the kind of film that will make you fall in love […]

In keeping with this month’s “Travel Series” @ PX This, for my next recommendation, I would like to heartily suggest the beautiful and critically acclaimed film (and one of my personal favorites), Water.   Seeing as you’re stuck here in the big city while we incessantly shove gorgeous images of exotic locales down your petulant […]

Vatel …

September 22nd, 2009
vatel_03

OK, so I promised at some point I would go back to recommending movies with F&B related themes. Certainly, no F&B film appreciation repertoire is complete without three of the best movies ever made about food and/or wine— Vatel, Eat Drink Man Woman, and the more recently released, Bottle Shock.   Visually stunning, viscerally moving, […]
