It’s been awhile since I’ve done a movie review. I started to write one after I saw The Avengers, but I realized it would have consisted of two sentences: “I’d pay to see it again! Sh*t!” Since that’s more of a tweet than a blog entry, let me talk about the film I saw last [...]

by ListenToLeon on 12. Apr, 2012 in DC, Events, Film, Fridays, Improv, Stand Up
I’m going to go Jason Voorhees on your sense of humor this Friday at the DC Improv. No need to be scared; you might die laughing at my show, but come 10PM, life goes on. You’ll have to find some way to compose yourself after enjoying the natural high I’m going to take you on, [...]
Beats Rhymes and Life Tonight
by ListenToLeon on 15. Jul, 2011 in 90's, A Tribe Called Quest, Film, Hip Hop
I’m going to see Beats Rhymes and Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest tonight since it’s opening in DC. I had a chance to see it last weekend in Los Angeles, but well, liquor happened, and I didn’t make it to the theater. This time, I bought my tickets in advance. I hate [...]
Diary of a 6-Foot Tall Black Man Dressed Up Like a Mad Black Woman
by ListenToLeon on 22. Apr, 2011 in Black, Film, Movies, Tyler Perry
Obviously, this is Tyler Perry discussion. A few days ago, one of my white co-workers approached me, the lone black guy in the office, and asked “What’s your opinion on Tyler Perry movies?” I already know what you’re thinking, and before you guys start asking if I went to Human Resources about it, let me [...]
Diversifying My Hustle
by ListenToLeon on 15. Mar, 2011 in Barber, Family, Film, Money, Restaurant
Today is my Uncle Tommy’s 70th birthday, and yesterday would have been my Dad’s 61st. When I was younger, my Dad encouraged me to learn as many different hustles as possible so that I could always make money in a tight spot. That entrepreneurial hustler spirit is part of the reason this blog was created. [...]
A Karate Kidpiphany
by ListenToLeon on 07. Feb, 2011 in 80's, baseball, DC, Film, Martial Arts, Youtube
I watched the Karate Kid after the Super Bowl last night. I know, random. This choice was made after thinking about a statement my friend Tajh made about how much popular culture these days is a lazy collection of 80′s rehashes. I agree with him, yet the conversation still made me nostalgic enough to go [...]
The Most Adorable Ass Whipping Ever
by ListenToLeon on 12. Jan, 2011 in Film, Movies, Youtube
I need to find out where go in order to buy a Lego Bruce Lee from Enter The Dragon. I’d also get a Jim Kelly and Mr Han so I could reenact key scenes from the film at my desk when I’m bored. Then again that’s probably not a smart idea. I’d hate for my [...]
