PLOT
Jimmy Bobo (Sylvester Stallone) is a hitman from New Orleans whose partner gets killed after a job well-done. Jimmy, betrayed by his employer and hunted by another professional hitman Keegan (Jason Momoa), teams up with a out of town detective Taylor Kwon (Sung Kang) in hope to get his revenge and the bounty off his head. Taylor on the other hand wants to unravel a series of organised crimes and needs Jimmy's connections to the criminal underworld, but makes it very clear that Jimmy's also on his arrest list.
Will the odd duo be able to take down the criminal connection and will Jimmy stick to what he does best when Taylor tries to bring him in and put a bullet in his head?

REVIEW
Solid, enjoyable action flick. Chemistry between main characters is good, storyline is not complex. I like the fact that action in very straightforward (like Taken). Film is just fun, solid, enjoyable action flick with legend Sly. If you like his sense of humor, you'll probably like this one too. 3/5

2013 Young Hollywood Awards Red Carpet

Yesterday's red carpet at 2013 Young Hollywood Awards in Santa Monica (California) brought some style surprises. I expect mainly short (summer) dresses but no, main trends were actually pants and floral prints. We even saw leather! Take a look...


Alli Simpson in white pants and top accessorized with black belt and heels. Alyssa Milano in black long-sleeved jumpsuit with cut-out details by Stella McCartney and Anna Camp in white with gold embroidered detailing jumpsuit by Lorena Sarbu & Jimmy Choo shoes.

My favorite in pants was Holland Roden. She wore a Ted Baker outfit, Brian Atwood shoes and a Rachel Zoe clutch. Laura Marano and Sakinah Lestage in leather pants looks.

More florals! Bailee Madison in long-sleeved top paired with a matching flared skirt by Ted Baker. Lovely Annasophia Robb in Pucci dress & Stuart Weitzman shoes and Crystal Reed in voluminous Carolina Herrera dress & Manolo Blahnik heels.

Aimee Teegarden in black Marchesa dress, Lucy Hale in Joy Cioci dress & Le Silla shoes. Plus two ladies that we haven't seen on red carpet, Selena Gomez and Lauren Conrad. Selena in black fit Versace dress and Jimmy Choo shoes was beautiful and one of my favorites. Meanwhile Lauren in burnt green textured tank dress with high heel sandals.

Short dresses that didn't impress me at all. Tara Lipinski, Becky G, Aisha Tyler and Christa B. Allen in Mikael D dress with Stuart Weitzman shoes.

Former American Idol contestants Hollie Cavanagh in white, Tara Reid in black and blue maxi-short dress and Jillian Rose Reed in soft pink frock.

Cat Deeley, Kathy Griffin, Stella Maeve and Kelly Osbourne. Cat in Etro was worst dressed for me. Upper part of the dress looks way to big and unfitted on her.

Which outfit do you (dis)like most?

Tiny house

Most people dream about big expensive luxurious houses as they live in a two bedroom rented apartment and complain about costs, neighbours, etc.  But there are some who think outside the box and are willing to create something more affordable and special.

Tiny houses on wheels for example.

I love people who aren't restricted by society and expectations of others. You can see bits of tiny living in the video below where Melissa and Chris Tack from Washington introduce their cute little house.
