The Buzz Times TWO!
I am so excited to introduce to y’all to my NEW partner in crime for The REEL Box Office Buzz, my good friend, Michelle Bell. For a while now she has been writing her own movie reviews on her blog, Just Jump, but they have been mixed in with all the other fun topics she [...]
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, [...]
What Movies Inspire You?
Normally, I write about upcoming releases, speculate about box office results, industry news, and when I get to one, I review movies too. But, this post is derived from a discussion on Facebook that Hollywood actor, Kiko Ellsworth (General Hospital, NBC’s Heroes online series) had with some of his fans. I told him I was [...]
How Will Hollywood Do in 2009?
It’s anybody’s guess. Really. Considering that 2007 ended with a Writer’s Strike prompting 2008 to start off a bit on the slow side and with a potential actor’s strike looming on the horizon as 2009 begins, who knows what the effects will bring?
Today was supposed to be the day a strike authorization ballot was to be cast [...]
It’s Been A While…
I must thoroughly apologize to my readers. It’s been a while since I last posted; partially due to a system overhaul and partially due to being so incredibly busy that I haven’t taken the time to give you the scoop. However, I am back in the swing now and you should most certainly find me blogging [...]
Going “Green” and The 11th Hour
Just about everybody who knows me knows that I’m a HUGE fan of Leonardo DiCaprio. As a matter of fact, I just mentioned his latest movie will be debuting in less than two months (and yes, I’m counting down the days).
Besides his fine acting skills, one of the reasons I like him is because of [...]
Why the Name Change?
While I absolutely adore the history behind the original title, “We Let Lisa Loose At The Movies?” I did some thinking after my training with Terry Heaton, renowned blogger and industry extraordinaire, last week. He gave me some great advice about blogging that I have begun to implement with my Blog this week. [...]
Every Critic Needs a Rating System. Right?
I’ve been randomly throwing “stars” out there for the movies that I see and I got to thinking - it’s about high time I created my own unique system. As a former teacher, I thought about using an “A+, A, A-, etc.” type of system but then I re-evaluated that line of thinking, “You [...]
Will the WGA Strike Affect You? It Depends…
For those of you that DIDN’T know, the Writer’s Guild of America is on strike. Why should you care? Truthfully. You shouldn’t…at least when it comes to your favorite flicks. The WGA strike really shouldn’t affect movie production. However, if you want your Jay Leno or David Letterman to be fresh and new, you can forget [...]
What’s Up With The Title?
It’s cute, isn’t it? Come on. I know you think so.
I’ve pretty much described what this Blog is about in my “About” page (gee…that sounds funny, doesn’t it?) but I had to take a minute to explain where the title comes from so I can pull it all together.
Let me give Maryann B props here. We [...]
