Lighthearted Fun With Shia LeBeouf

You know Shia.  He’s the guy that starred alongside legendary actor Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull not to mention Eagle Eye and this week’s release Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Is There Credence to the MTV Movie Awards?

Earlier this week, the list of nominees for the annual Golden Popcorn award was released.  Leading the pack - Twilight with seven nominations but coming up just behind with six, my favorite movie of 2008, Slumdog Millionaire.

I shouldn’t diss.  I didn’t see the movie.  And I shouldn’t diss because the awards are voted on [...]


EXTRA EXTRA - I was an Extra in Main Street!

What I really wanted to title this entry was - “Extra!  Extra!  Read All About It - I was an ‘Extra’ in Main Street” but the title was too long.  Yet, I’ve always wanted to say that. It’s one of those lines that only make sense when they make sense.  Does that make sense? Ok, [...]

Anne Hathaway As Judy Garland

A Final Farewell to Natasha Richardson

I really hate the idea of starting the week off on a somber note but the thing is I feel as though for this particular week it’s the right thing to do. 
Just yesterday, Natasha Richardson was laid to rest near the home she shared with husband, Liam Neeson, and their two sons.  Just yesterday, family [...]


Natasha Richardson - Another Gone Too Soon

As of today there are nearly 9,500 news articles (as listed on Google News) on the passing of actress Natasha Richardson.  Why is there such a fascination with this story?  I think it’s because of the beautiful and talented woman that she was.
