I’ve got a new favorite show to watch as I’m getting ready to leave for school in the morning – “Timmy Time”. This is Aardman Animations latest creation, and it’s hysterical. The show can be found on the Disney Channel, during their Playhouse Disney block Monday-Friday. And yes, it’s designed for pre-schoolers. But I dare […]

I’d like to predict that “Legend of the Guardians” will beat “Wall Street” at the Box Office this weekend. “Guardians” is in a few more theaters and it’s got the 3D and IMAX advantage. But I can’t. But I do think it’ll be a lot closer than most movie people think. Here are my picks […]

“The Other Guys” is still in the top 10. Seven weeks now, which is pretty amazing since it was released in early August, when no one goes to the movies, and it continues to attract fans throughout September. Why has it been able to last? Maybe because it was released in early August. “The Other […]

Here’s a recap of how I did with my predictions. The official Top 10 estimates are below. I’ll give myself a “C”, but I’m a tough critic: 1) The Town $18.5M – Got it right @ #1, but missed the $$$ by a lot. 2) Easy A $15.6 – Underestimated the $ as well. Bigger […]

Big news that you may have missed from this past weekend: “At the Movies” is coming back and Roger Ebert is coming back with it! Ebert (and his wife Chaz) are producing the show, plus Roger will appear each week with his own segment. This is fantastic! The show will be broadcast on PBS stations […]

“Flipped” was scheduled to be released nationwide on August 27. However, at the last minute, Warner Brothers decided to only put it out in a handful of theaters in a few major cities. “The Winning Season” came out a few weeks ago, but only in three theaters in the entire country, and also on Pay […]

It’s time, once again, for the “LCJ Summer Movie Awards”. MOST FORGETTABLE I saw “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” the day it came out and I really haven’t thought about it since. Dull story, boring special effects, ho-hum performances. The only memorable scene in the film is when Alfred Molina’s character kisses an ostrich. […]

Fox’s 2008 animated comedy “Space Chimps” is getting a sequel. The film (titled “Space Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back” has already been released in the UK, and will be coming to DVD in the U.S. October 5th. Sometimes direct-to-DVD sequels of animated movies do not have the same voice actors as in the original. The […]

The first weekend of “Avatar: Special Edition” was a bomb. $4 million in three days on 800 screens is okay, but much less than what the studio and many movie insiders expected (I predicted it would do less that $5M). Not finishing in the top ten is a little embarrassing. Clearly fans realized they were […]

The writers of “Kung Fu Panda”, Cyrus Voris and Ethan Reiff, are set to write the screenplay for “The Karate Kid 2” (or as I’d rather call it, “The Karate Kid: Part II 2”). Maybe there will be a little more humor in the sequel, but why is there going to be a sequel anyway? […]
