I got to see a Jimmy Fallon show the other night. No, not NBC’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”, but Fallon’s live comedy show. Very funny. He does a combination of straight stand-up and song parodies. Plus he has some great impressions. Great show. Afterwards I went backstage and we talked about his movie career. […]

“And the winners are…Lauren Bacall, Roger Corman and Gordon Willis.” All three Hollywood legends picked-up Oscars Sunday night, during a pre-Academy Awards, Academy Awards ceremony. Bacall is best known for her roles with late husband Humphrey Bogart. Producer/Director Corman is the king of the B-Movie and Willis was the cinematographer for such films as “The […]

I spent Veterans Day in NYC at my favorite TV show – “Live with Regis and Kelly” (more on that later in the week), but got home in time to read the great news: a record 20 films have been entered for consideration for the best animated feature at the Academy Awards, meaning we should […]

According to Box Office Mojo, 20th Century Fox has changed the release date for “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” from Christmas Day to December 23rd. This is a great move.

It only took one day for the Michael Jackson documentary, “This Is It”, to land on the list of all-time, highest-grossing music documentaries. With $7.4 million is sales on Wednesday, “This Is It” is in 5th place on the list, but should move-up to 2nd by the end of the weekend. The Miley Cyrus “Best […]

Ricky Gervias has been chosen to host the 2010 Golden Globes awards, and it’s a great choice. The Globes hasn’t had a host since 1995. Gervais was chosen because of his very funny presentations during this year’s Emmy’s and Globes. Plus, he’s got his animated movie “Flanimals” in the works. The 67th Annual Golden Globes […]

The soon-to-be released animated film “Planet 51”, starring Dwayne (I can’t believe I’m going back to my wrestling name “The Rock”) Johnson is right now where no film has gone before: IN SPACE! Back in late August a copy of the film was launched into space (in a rocket, of course) and it’s now aboard […]
