Project Almanac Movie Review

“Project Almanac” is a typical no surprises kind of movie. The filming wasn’t even great; yet it was purposely done that way for effect, but it still doesn’t give it a pass.

The movie is about time travel, and the idea of changing past events having an impact on the present/future. This sort of movie has been done (in parts or in whole) many times before, but that’s not the problem. The problem is that they brought nothing new to the table; not only did they not come up with anything new, but they did it really badly. By all definitions this looked to be a made for TV movie, and not a theater release movie.

I don’t want to waste my time writing anything further about “Project Almanac” other than to say that I give this movie two thumbs down, and I recommend you wait to see it when it comes out on TV…maybe DVD if you have nothing better to do.

Tres Shannon Joins the Lemon Cake Initiative

Tres Shannon, co-founder and owner of Voodoo Doughnut, is by all definitions his own person. Everything he does is because he wants to do it, which honestly is something that all of us dream about (maybe even talk about), but never have what it takes to make it happen. Tres is a person that others should envy (Note: don’t envy anyone…be happy with who you are and what you have).

I met with Tres a couple of times, and the 2nd time was to get him on camera eating my lemon cake. Was I nervous having the doughnut king eat my lemon cake? Not at all, because I know that they’ll stand up to any scrutiny. 

The truth is he ate all of what I brought, which is and will always be the biggest of all compliments. Thank you sir!!!

Tres really is fantastic, but don’t try to use social media or pretty much anything internet related to reach out to him because he is purposely old school and doesn’t use all of that. Why…because he’s Tres Shannon and he actually does what he wants because he can.

Stephen Vincent Joins the Lemon Cake Initiative - VIDEO

Stephen Vincent of Stephen Vincent Jewelers is the person to know when it comes to pretty much anything…from food, to booze, and of course jewelry.

Stephen is a great story teller, funny, down to earth, and truly enjoys life. On top of all his great personal attributes, he also helps people through his many social outposts, and gives back to the community through charitable means.

Stephen Vincent is a really genuine person and his jewelry store is an extension of him.

Plus…how could you not love a guy who proudly shows off his wide collection of socks one pair at a time down at his store, as Mr. Vincent doesn’t wear shoes at work.

It is always a good day when I get to hang with the great Todd Robinson.

 I can’t say enough about this man…he’s my brother for life.

Thoughts on kissing Todd (allegedly):

1. I don’t drink so I was sober.
2. I’m a good looking guy, so I can’t blame him for anything.
3. I made his top 10 list of guys.
4. He is an actor though, and he didn’t call me this morning.

Seriously I love people who can play around, and don’t have to be serious all of the time. The whole night at the Indie Film party was fun…breaking all the rules by going out on a school night.

Jerry Bell Jr.'s Indie Film Fest

My man JB did it right last night at his Indie film get together; actors, models, singers, clothing designers, artists (plus so many others); just a room full of very talented people. I was pumped up just to be part of it. Simply an amazing group of people.

Thank you Jerry Bell Jr. for putting on this event. Look forward to talking with you soon!

Clothing Designer Impresario Weldon

Last night hanging at the Indie Film party with my new friend, clothing designer Impresario Weldon, who donated 3 absolutely stunning dresses that were given away at the event (none of which I won, and I don’t think anyone cared).

Chris Allred Design Presents - Who You the Interview: Hudge

Hudge is unique and that is a good thing. People who break the norm, are the same people that change the world. Unfortunately the ray gun on his rocket car never worked, but I like the idea.

Hudge also told me that he was “pretty good at being married, not staying married”…there was more, but we’ll keep it at that.
