Out and About in LA: FALL Corgi Beach Day 2016

Time for 2016's SECOND Corgi Beach Day in Huntington Beach today at OH MOVIES!

A few months ago the “SoCal Corgi Beach Day” group held their annual summer event in Long Beach. While not owning a Corgi myself I decided to go down to Long Beach and cover the event. What I didn’t realize is that the group decides to do the same event TWICE a year. This time the Fall portion of the event took place way down south of LA in Huntington Beach. So while most of you are handling the…

Out and About in Culver: Culver City ArtWalk 2017

Today on OH MOVIES it is the 2016 Culver City Art Walk!

The neighborhood of Culver City is very proud of its own arts district. Driving down Washington Blvd you will see many galleries and studios showcasing today’s generation of artists. Once a year Culver City decides to highlight their arts district with an official “ArtWalk”. If you happened to be at Washington Blvd on October 8th (between Helms and La Cienega Blvd) then you could witness some…

Out and About in Culver: Culver City Centennial

Today at OH MOVIES I cover the 100th Anniversary of Culver City!

I’ve been living in Culver City for about a year and a half now. It has been a great neighborhood to get my footing in Los Angeles and enjoy my new life out in the West Coast. I’ve had my share of adventures in Culver City but I did not realize it was gonna have its own, very special anniversary in 2016. About 100 years ago a man by the name of Harry Culver had his dreams come true with the…

Out and About in LA: We Hate Movies at the Hollywood Improv

Today on OH MOVIES: @WHMPodcast performs in LA and I join in on the fun!

If there is one thing Los Angeles is known for it’s…Well “movies”. But another form of media the city loves to consume is comedy. Some of the country’s greatest comedians got their start here in LA and, in one form or another, gone on to great success. It was surprising to me that I have not gone to one of the more famous stand up venues in the city. Luckily that all changed when a certain…

Out and About in LA: Rowan at Dodgers Stadium

Today at OH MOVIES I hang out with a few friends from college to see some Dodgers baseball.

A little over a year ago I went to my first Dodgers game. (You can find the post here so I won’t bore you with another tour of the facilities.) Dodgers Stadium itself is pretty damn gorgeous and on this Saturday jaunt it was an absolutely perfect day to play baseball. But what makes a perfect day of baseball even better is to be with friends. So a few of my pals from Rowan University came…

Out and About in LA: Brouwerij West Brewery

OH MOVIES returns with a trip to the @BrouwerijWest Brewery with friends!

If there is one thing you should know about me it is that I am not much of a drinker. I dabble in Hard Cider’s or Hard Soda’s, but overall alcohol and me do not get along. But we live in an age where loving beer is at an all time high or, more specifically, the love of CRAFTING beer is at an all time high. There are breweries all around this great country of ours but recently I decided to partake…

Blog Update: On Vacation

Blog Update: On Vacation

Hey guys! You may have noticed that I haven’t updated my blog regularly the last couple of weeks. Well there is a reason for that and it is a good reason: I got a new job! I won’t get into specifics but now that I am with a new company I need to take some time to get into their system. Also, with a new job comes money and I must be honest in that money has been a little tight as of late. So going…

Out and About in LA: Corgi Beach Day 2016

I celebrate the 4th of July with all things Corgis!

Who doesn’t love dogs? I love dogs and Los Angeles are overrun with the cute devils. Because of that we sometimes get a major celebration of the pups and have them all in one place. One of my favorite breeds is the Corgi; a hyperactive and sometimes the most silly of the breeds. Down south in Long Beach at Rosie’s Dog Beach there was a gathering of all things Corgi with “Corgi Beach Day”! Let me…

Great Movie Scenes #022: Independence Day (1996)

WELCOME TO EARF! On today's Great Movie Scenes at OH MOVIES!

  Let’s be honest: We ALL know this moment in Independence Day. It is the most quoted line in the film, apart from that kick-ass speech by President Whitmore towards the end, and it obviously has left an enormous impression for people on Will Smith. But can you IMAGINE what this line would’ve been like if it came out today? The…

Out and About in LA: Let's Play Live

See some of the Let's Play Live Highlights starring @AchievementHunter, @FunhausTeam, & more!

It’s no mystery that I am a fan of Let’s Play YouTubers. Specifically of the Funhaus/Rooster Teeth kind as I’ve gone to a Dude Soup Live show AND I’ve created many photoshops of the Funhaus gang. There is now a new notch I can put into my fandom for these groups by going to a major event of theirs. Specifically, on June 17th, the Rooster Teeth team went to Los Angeles to perform LET’S PLAY LIVE…

Out and About in San Francisco: Day 1

Today at OH MOVIES is Part 1 of going Out and About in San Francisco

There are four major cities in California. In the south you have Los Angeles and San Diego. Up in the north you have the two, other major cities by the bay with Oakland and San Francisco. Earlier, during the Memorial Day weekend, I decided to head up north to visit The Golden City in San Fran. NOTE: This two parter is not an entire overlook of the city. I just visited the major (some would say…

Today in Photoshop: Random Funhaus 2

Today in Photoshop at OH MOVIES it's another collection of my creations starring @funhausteam!

You’ve all seen my various Photoshops of the Funhaus crew the past couple of months. A good portion of the community seem to enjoy them so why not show you, the general audience, what I’ve concocted lately? I’m sure it will baffle most but hopefully it all makes you laugh as that is the intention. (more…)

Out and About in Solvang: Mission Santa Ines

Out and About in Solvang continues with a trip to the Mission Santa Ines!

Yesterday you got to see the Danish side of Solvang. But what about the Spanish side? Well look no further than…well a couple of feet next to the main strip of the town. Before the Danes came to take over the Spanish had a strong foothold in the West and a lot of Missions/churches were formed. Mission Santa Ines was founded in 1804 and apart from some wear from natural causes & some Native…

Out and About in Solvang

Come check out the Danish town of Solvang in today's OH MOVIES travelogue!

California is a huge place. I am sure this is not news to you. Since it is such a massive state sometimes things can fall through the crack. For example: Did you know there is an entire town dedicated to all things Danish? Apparently in 1911 a group of Danish settlers decided to plant their stakes in the Santa Ynez Valley. Of course they had to make sure a group of Native Americans, this time the…

This Week in Soundtrack: Spectre (2013)

Come listen to the REAL song for the movie SPECTRE thanks to Radiohead at OH MOVIES!

Last year we were graced with another James Bond film in Spectre. If there is one thing we all look forward too, fans or not, is the artist that will grace the opening intro. It has been one of the better traditions in movies where both established or newly rising stars take a stab at summarizing a plot in the span of a couple of minutes. Add in some top notch visuals during these opening credits…
