I think we all knew something was wrong when we didn’t see a trailer come out for “Hoodwinked Too: Hood Vs. Evil”. Now it’s official: the sequel to the 2006 surprise hit (and one of my favorite animated films) won’t be coming-out next month. The scheduled release date was Jan. 15, but it’s been removed […]

Tuesday was a “Golden” day, as the nominations for the 2010 Golden Globe Awards were announced. And I’ve got to tell you, I’m pretty happy with the results of the voting. First of all, most of the nominees for Best Animated Feature deserve the honor. “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs”, “Fantastic Mr. Fox” and […]

I always thought McDonald’s designed their toy giveaways for little kids, while Burger King sometimes geared their promotions to a slightly older audience (fans of SpongeBob and The Simpsons). Well, apparently I was wrong. For the first time in 17 years McDonald’s is offering toys in their Happy Meals from a PG-13 film – “Avatar”. […]

With Disney’s latest HD (hand drawn) film, “The Princess and the Frog” about to be released nationwide, I was wondering what the studio had planned for their next non-CG movie. The answer came in an interview with producer Peter del Vecho on slashfilm.com. Disney has two, new hand-drawn projects already underway: a Winnie the Pooh […]

I haven’t seen “The Secret of Kells”, but I think “Up” has […]

Great news for Kelsey Grammer and his fans (and I’m one of his biggest)! Grammer will be starring on Broadway, beginning in April, in the revival of “La Cage aux Folles”. This announcement comes only a few weeks after his most recent sitcom, “Hank”, was cancelled by ABC, a decision that I didn’t agree with. […]

For months ABC has been promoting their new Disney Christmas Special: “Prep and Landing.” It was supposed to air this Tuesday night, right after “A Charlie Brown Christmas”. But now that’s not going to happen. President Obama has decided to address the nation Tuesday night, and so ABC has decided to air the speech and […]

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 […]
