I’m a big fan of Entertainment Weekly. I read it cover to cover…weekly. The latest issue includes their list (they love lists) of the 100 Greatest Characters of the last 20 years. The list is made-up of character from movies, TV and books. There are some great selections (Homer Simpson is #1) and some not […]

The best part of the upcoming “Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore” may be before the movie starts. The announcement by Warner Bros. that they are bringing back the Looney Tunes cartoons is pretty exciting. The first thing we’ll see is a Road Runner- Wile E. Coyote short prior to “Kitty Galore” on […]

LCJ: How tricky was it finding the right script for this 4th “Shrek” film? The movie is much more story-focused than the others in the series, which is one of the things I like about it. MM: It was very difficult. I started-off working with writer Josh Klausner and we knew that if there was […]

Thanks to the incredible box office success of “Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs”, we will get a 4th “Ice Age” film. “Ice Age: Continental Drift” is tenatively schedule to be released on July 13, 2012. While “Dinosaurs” did just o.k. in the U.S., it was HUGE worldwide, grossing over $885 million, so it’s […]

It is official, there will be a “How to Train Your Dragon” sequel coming out in the second half of 2013. I’m very pleased. Some people (including myself) thought that “Dragon” didn’t have a fantastic opening weekend, but has really become a “sleeper hit”. According to Box Office Mojo, it still needs to beat three […]

The Hollywood sign has officially been saved…thanks to Hugh Hefner. He and others put in enough money so they could buy it back from the real estate developers who wanted to tear it down.
