“Honeydripper” is the latest film from writer/director John Sayles who was actually born not far from where I live. He attended the showing of the film I was at the other night and I actually got to meet him! (more on that in my blog). The movie is a fable, set in Alabama in the […]
New Line Cinema’s latest film takes audiences on a fantasy adventure with the help of a “Golden Compass. Actress Dakota Blue Richards beat-out 10-thousand girls to get the role of the main character, Lyra.

They shot this film at the same time as “Dead Man’s Chest”, so all of the characters look the same. “Pirates 3” begins with Jack Sparrow’s crew on a quest to rescue their captain from Davy Jones’ locker. Meantime, the other […]
