Star Trek

My Life in Ruins stars Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) as a tour guide in Athens who accidentally falls in love.

Here’s more from my story in Jaunted about how to enjoy your own romantic Athens getaway.

Director Sam Raimi’s back with Drag Me To Hell. The horror flick is about Christine, a bank loan officer looking for a promotion. When an elderly woman comes in requesting an extension on her mortgage payment, Christine turns her down in an attempt to prove she is serious about her job.

The movie was filmed in the Los Angeles area so here’s my guide for following in Christine’s footsteps, just watch out for seemingly harmless little old ladies.
