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 […]

KCA Wrap-Up – Lookin’ Fab!

By

Well, congratulations to all the 2008 Kids Choice Awards winners…and especially to ME! I nailed 4 of the 5 movie catagories. I picked “Alvin and the Chipmunks”, even though “Pirates 3” was the favorite. Great to see furry little chipmunks beat big, nasty pirates. “Ratatouille” now adds a KCA to it’s list of awards which […]

My “Kids” Picks

By

Jack Black will be hosting the 2008 Nickelodeon “Kids’ Choice Awards” Saturday night. There are five movie catagories. Here’s who I think will win the blimps: Favorite Movie: I liked “Pirates 3” and “Transfomers”, but “Alvin and the Chipmunks” is my pick. Favorite Actor: Forget Ice Cube and Eddie Murphy. And I didn’t like Dwayne […]

The Singing Revolution

By

I had the chance to see a new documentary the other night on the history of the country of Estonia. The movie is called “The Singing Revolution.” Jim Tusty and his wife, Maureen Castle Tusty, are the directors. They live not far from where I live. My father actually knew Maureen when she was a […]

Nim’s “Changing” Island

By

Have you seen the new trailer for “Nim’s Island”? I caught it the other night at “Horton Hears a Who!”. The storyline of the trailer is VERY different from the first one the studio put out for “Nim”. In the first trailer the main focus is on Jodie Foster’s character, an author, who travels to […]
