Pray the Devil Back to Hell
Last week I headed to Tribeca to see Pray the Devil Back to Hell, a documentary that chronicles the truly remarkable story of the Liberian women (both Christian and Muslim) who came together to end a bloody, decades-old civil war.
Top Rahman: Slumdog Millionaire Composer Scores Big
What a thrill the other night to see the low-budget Slumdog Millionaire surprise the world and trash its muscular competition at the Golden Globes. But when composer A.R. Rahman picked up the Best Score award for his film sound track, it came as no shock to Bollywood aficionados. The baby-faced, former jingle writer is (to borrow a Sanskrit word) a juggernaut, having scored over one hundred movies and sold over 100 million records in his career.
Seattle on a Budget
Seattle is a bustling city that is home to some of the world's best-known companies. But some of the greatest reasons to visit Seattle are many miles from the city... Circus Circus
Circus Circus is nonstop action, and not just in the casino. The Adventuredome is a great place to keep kids entertained and offers pay-one-price tickets for theme park rides. The dome, while keeping the weather out, keeps the noise in. The hotel corridors and rooms are also decorated in a rather noisy style. Circus acts are performed every twenty minutes and can been seen from the casino and most of the restaurants. Honestly, the whole place gives me a headache. Stratosphere
Since its opening in 1996, the Stratosphere has already become one of the most recognizable icons of the Strip. The tallest free-standing observation deck in the U.S., the tower is topped with the highest thrill rides in the world, a roller coaster and "Big Shot" which launches riders even higher than the 1,149 foot observation deck.
