The Hollywood blockbuster hero--from a whip-wielding archeologist to a Blahnik-sporting sex columnist--is alive and well. And come next Friday, Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man is likely to face a dethroning from the top of 2008's box office (over $312 million to date) by late Heath Ledger's interpretation of the Joker.

I went to Film School at S.F. State and was soon facing financial debt from Student Loans and Indie Film Making. Financially bankrupt I went into finance to pay off my loans. Then one day someone told me about Corporate Credit and how I could leverage it to help independent Film Makers and Entrepreneurs and existing businesses to have money to operate with and this Company was born.

The television series Secret Diary of a Call Girl debuts on Showtime tonight. The show's subject is readily apparent. The background of the show needs explanation: It's a British series that first aired there in September. It is based upon a real blog named Belle de Jour: diary of a London call girl. The author turned her blog into a series of books and those have been adapted into a television show.

A week before his obsessively anticipated Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull opens in U.S theaters, George Lucas has a reason to bite his fingernails--and not just because Iron Man seems to already have become the blockbuster darling of the summer.

At age 100, Elena Bautista became a movie star. For a woman who doesn’t even have a physical memento or photograph of her own mother, it's significant that Bautista, now 101, is the subject of her filmmaker granddaughter’s documentary directorial debut, Kuna Ni Nanang (My Mother Said).

Iron Man and Genre Respect

Last night I saw an early preview of Iron Man. I am not going to say much more than it was a solid film that will appeal to a wide audience. And that is an accomplishment.
