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. How could you ever take down the Hollywood sign? It’s a world landmark. They already took down the “land” part in […]

In a bit of a surprise move, Pixar has announced that there will be a “Monsters, Inc. 2”. The release date is set for Nov. 16, 2012. I liked the original, but I thought if the studio was going to do another sequel (following “Toy Story 3” and “Cars 2”) they’d pick “The Incredibles”, the […]

A few days after the NY Emmys, some thoughts: – It was a great night whether I’d won or not – The toughest part of the evening was getting to the stage through all the tables to the stage – Those podiums are not designed for 11 year olds – Emmy only weighs 3 pounds […]

The other night I had the chance to see an independent film called, “The Flyboys”, and it’s pretty good. The story is about two boys named Jason and Kyle, who accidently get stuck on an airplane that gunmen are trying to blow up. The two boys stop that from happening, the bad guys find out […]

Logan Lerman is now being considered the front runner for the new “Spider-Man” movie. I didn’t even think of him. But there’s one problem with choosing him. If he does more “Percy Jackson” movies, how is he going to have enough time to do one or possibly more new “Spider-Man” films? But since “The Lightning […]

Drive-In movie theaters have been around since 1933 and now that spring has sprung Drive-Ins are opening up all around the country for another season, showing all the big films. When was the last time you went to a Drive-In? It’s sad that there were thousands of Drive-In theaters in the U.S. during their heyday, […]

Happy Easter, everybody. From LCJ and his minions
