Wall-mEaning

By

I (and most of you) have been waiting for “Wall-E” since Disney/Pixar announced that it was going to be their follow-up to “Ratatouille.” It comes out June 27th, but now we finally know what Wall-E stands for: Waste Allocation Load Lifter – Earth class. Cool. It’s official: the “Alvin and the Chipmunks” sequel is set […]

That Was Quick!

By

“Iron Man 2” has already been announced for April, 2010. If you stayed until the end of the credit of “Iron Man” (as I told you to) you would have seen a scene that gives an idea of a new character and clue of a possible stroyline for the sequel. Or maybe the “threequel”, since […]

“Iron” Men and Maids “Of Honor”

By

As I was standing in line, waiting to be allowed into the theater to see “Iron Man”, I played a little game with my father. We watched the people approaching the ticket taker and tried to guess what movie they were going to. Here’s what I discovered: If a guy, a bunch of guys or […]

It may still be spring, but with the opening on “Iron Man” comes the start of the Summer Movie Season. And it should be a fun one (which is why I did the title they way I did). Let’s start with “Iron Man”, which stars Robert Downey Jr. as the comic book super hero. The […]

“Project Gunn”

By

I got to meet another celebrity this weekend. While at a local mall to check-out the progress of their new Regal Cinema I’ve been telling you about, my Mom and I got to meet fashion designer, author and TV host Tim Gunn. He was at the Macy’s hosting a fashion show for Liz Claiborne and […]

I’ve Been “Expelled!”

By

While we all wait for the “family film” season to begin I went and saw the new Ben Stein documentary “Expelled: No Intellegence Allowed” the other day. It’s about the fight going on in colleges and universities over the teaching of how the world began. There were some things in the movie that I didn’t […]

The Good. The Bad. And a Goodbye

By

The new Regal Cinema I’ve been telling you about near where I live has finally announced that it will be opening on May 16, just in time for me to go and see “The Chronicles of Nardia: Prince Caspian.” But, the theater is also going to have 3-preview days prior to the official first night, […]

It was Free…so it was Me

By

Sorry I took a few days off from blogging. I spent most of the weekend watching the free preview on the Starz channel. There were so many choices: I watched “Cars” on Saturday, “Surf’s Up” on Sunday…with some “RV” in between. We don’t normally get Starz so this was quite a treat. Hopefully you got […]

Monkeys in Space

By

If you’ve seen “Nim’s Island” you’ve probably seen the trailer for “Space Chimps” (unless you got to your seat too late). The animated comedy comes from 20th Century Fox, Starz Media (a relatively new company) and Vanguard Animation. They previously did 2005’s “Valiant”, which I liked, and last year’s “Happily N’Ever After, which I hated. […]

Madagascar: The Changing Sequel Title

By

“Madagascar” was one of my favorite movies of 2006 and I’m really looking forward to the sequel, which will hit theaters on November 7th. What the movie will be called, right now, is anybody’s guess. The title was originally going to be “Madagascar: The Crate Escape”. But Dreamworks just announced that they have changed the […]
