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.

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 […]

I love movies. You love movies. But will viewers of The Weather Channel love movies? Yes, for the first time in it’s 27 years on TV, The Weather Channel is going to start showing movies.
