I’m not a big “Dancing With the Stars” guy, but I will be watching Tuesday night for a special event: The Gypsy Kings will be performing a new version of “You’ve Got A Friend In Me”, from “Toy Story 3”. Two dancers from the show worked with Pixar animators for the sequence in the film […]

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.

The Nanny McPhee sequel is coming out on August 20th in the U.S., but is already out overseas. The title being used is “Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang”. A few weeks ago, and reported in this week’s Entertainment Weekly, the title was changed to “Nanny McPhee 2 “. Now comes word that the official […]
