Finally getting used to being back home. Hollywood Week (I sound like I was on American Idol) was fantastic. Too many highlights to write about but, obviously, the biggie was being on “The Tonight Show”. So many of you have e-mailed, Tweeted and written me on Facebook congratulating me. I wish I could think you […]

“The King’s Speech” was the big winner at the Academy Awards, but there were some surprises. And they didn’t just come from the movies. I wasn’t certain that the idea of James Franco and Anne Hathaway as co-hosts was going to be a success, and it really wasn’t. James was a bit weak, and Anne […]

Here are my Official Picks for tonight’s Academy Awards: Best Supporting Actress Should Win: Hailee Steinfeld “True Grit“ Will Win: Melissa Leo “The Fighter” Steinfeld was fantastic, and she’s only 14. Could be the night’s big upset. Best Supporting Actor Should Win: Geoffrey Rush “The King’s Speech” Will Win: Christian Bale “The Fighter” Both great. […]

I had a great time being on “The Tonight Show” on Friday! Here’s a rundown of the exciting day: A limo picks me up at my hotel. This wasn’t just any limo, either. This was a big 6+ seater with a TV and drinks. Once inside the NBC Studios I meet Rickey Minor (the band […]

I’ve been lucky enough to be asked to be a guest on several national TV shows over the past year, doing reviews and talking about my career. And I’ve enjoy them all. But Friday night things are going to kick-up a notch. I’ll be appearing on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”. This’ll be my […]

Oscar Week is officially here, and to celebrate I went to see the Oscar Nominated Animated Short Films. Here are my thoughts: “Day and Night” – This year’s Pixar entry. They haven’t won a short award since 2002 (“For The Birds”). Have seen it 3 times and still don’t love it. Reportedly the odds-on favorite. […]

O.K. I enjoyed the Justin Bieber Movie – “JB: Never Say Never” more than I thought I would. And sitting in a theater surrounded by 200+ screaming girls was an experience. And I do appreciate that J. Bieber is very talented and he deserves all the attention and success that he’s enjoying. But do I […]

The nominations for the 2011 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards are out and I’ve spotted a new trend this year: the nominees are much more kid/family oriented. For example: In the Favorite Movie category there’s only one semi- “action” film (“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow – Pt.1”), and the rest much more family-friendly: “Alice in […]

So many kids movies these days begin as books. I guess we have Harry Potter to thank for that, though it didn’t begin with him. I like it much better when scripts are original, but occasionally, there’s a book I’m reading that I think would make a great movie. And that’s the case with, “The […]
