'Push': Great Filming Locations, Not-So-Great Film
The general conscience about “Push” is that overall the movie sucked but its location was pretty cool. The film stars Dakota Fanning and Chris Evans as two young Americans with special abilities, searching for a girl that can help them defend themselves against a shady U.S. government agency called Division. Set and filmed entirely in Hong Kong, the gorilla-style film techniques used to capture the authenticity of the city totally pay off. If you find yourself wanting to catch the next flight to Hong Kong after watching "Push" (which you will) here’s what to do when you get there.
Where to Stay:
The Langham Hong Kong is the epitome of luxury. They recently renovated all 270 rooms to include amenities like 37-inch flat-screen TVs, silk drapes, burled timber and leather walls, large open bathrooms, even larger living rooms, DVD players and iHome audio docks. You can even make a reservation via Skype. The best part though, has to be their current prices. Right now, room rates start at $203 a night. It looks like the recession really is affecting everyone.

Movie Set Travel: The Secret Life of Bees
Based on the hit novel, "The Secret Life of Bees" comes out on the big screen today. It's a bring-your-mother/sister/best friend kind of movie that tells the story of 14-year-old Lily Owens who escapes her abusive father with her caregiver and best friend. The two are taken in by the fiercely independent Boatwright sisters who teach them about beekeeping, honey and what real families are. We can already feel the tears coming on, so be ready.
Dakota Fanning is the star of the show, but it also features Queen Latifah as August Boatwright and Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys and Paul Bettany, too. There are tons of poignant moments, but it's not exactly action packed.
Lily and Rosaleen escape to a town in South Carolina, but in actuality the film was shot in North Carolina. Read on for some fun things to check out there this fall...
