Now, let me get this straight – Ellen DeGeneres is the new judge on “American Idol”? I’ve never heard he say anything mean to anyone on her talk show and now she’s going to have to criticize bad singers? Even Paula said some tough things to contestants ever once in awhile.
And how is Simon going to attack Ellen? She’s one of the few people in the industry who has the power and the $$$ that he does.
I look forward to seeing the first night of the new season.
Speaking of “looking forward”, here’s a quick look at some of the top animated films in store for 2010:
“Hoodwinked Too: Hood vs. Evil” – Jan 15. This is the sequel to the first film I reviewed as a professional critic.
“How to Train Your Dragon” – March 26. This is based on the popular kids book.
“Shrek Forever After” – May 21. Hopefully it’ll be better than the “Third”.
“Toy Story 3” – June 18. In 3-D.
“Despicable Me” – July 9. Steve Carell leads the voice cast.
Man, I’m really excited about next year, but, hey, there’s still plenty of family films to come out during the final months of 2009 before we look to 2010.
