I am not one who is easily skeeved but Eric Dane kinda skeeves me out. It’s been a while since we’ve had just a plain ole run-of-the-mill American Hunk, and since it’s his birthday and I’ve done far too many people who are actually interesting and have non-hotness-related redeeming qualities I figured for his [...]
Although the world is fascinating place there are times when temporary escape is not only desirable but necessary. The princely sum of about eight dollars rented two movies about stirring events from another time and place. From 1938 there was the Adventures of Robin Hood with Errol Flynn, Claude Rains, Olivia de Havilland and Basil Rathbone. [...] [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website...
Mention 'pirates' to people today and almost immediately the name of Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Carribbean films hovers into their mind's eye; a different generation might offer up an image of a swashbuckling Errol Flynn (all sensible opinion must surely acknowledge that the finest 'pirate movie' of them all is Flynn's 'The Sea Hawk ' ( 1940 )?). Those with a passion...
Game creator Jordan Mechner comments on the adaptation. -Mechner: It's true. My brother actually was the model for the original animations in the first Prince of Persia game back in 1985 when he was in high school. He wasn't a very good athlete even then, and he hasn't really gotten any better. He was disappointed, but no, Jake really did his own stunt work. -So, why did you choose Jake Gyllenhaal...
We land-navv'ed our way across Chicago last night to get to a restaurant for dinner, and managed to find ourselves on surface streets in the middle of Wrigleyville. On Halloween. It's been a long time since I lived in Midtown Atlanta. I wasn't entirely prepared for the sight of Peter Pan and the Lone Ranger walking down Halstead, hand in hand. " Are you sure that wasn't Robin Hood? " asked...
In Canada, looking for ghosts is a mug's game. You don't have to look far. Places disappear after getting rezoned into bigger places, losing their borders and their names. Old brick buildings mortared with history fall to developers. And the only public recognition of past lives comes whenever city council or its heritage wing can agree on the weight of a person, place or event. John Lennon played...
Filed under: Sex Sells , Celebs & Money Looks like Levi Johnston is grabbing headlines once again. The teen famous for fathering Sarah Palin's grandson is spending hours in the gym beefing up for his Playgirl photo shoot. Men do it, too. What do Marilyn Monroe, Anna Nicole Smith and Holly Madison all have in common? They've all used their sensuality and sexuality to make money. And in doing so,...
I've been a movie fan ... including an old movie fan ... for years. Ever since the mid-70s, when I'd get off work after midnight and go home after playing 5 hours of rock-and-roll on the radio. Too wired up to sleep, I'd turn the TV on and watch movies until I fell asleep. I got to watch a lot of old movies then. One of the Savannah TV stations (WTOC) had decided to go 24 hours, and did that by showing...

A few of you might know I got reason to frequent local rap gatherings in and around Detroit and in midst of seeing literally hundreds acts over the past two years, an extremely small number of these so-called MCs have actually been unique enough to stand out.

This may not be the best time to be developing a movie about a young boy and a flying contraption, but I guess the adaptation of Eoin Colfer's "Airman" won't be arriving in theaters for awhile. The movie, which Variety reveals Robert Zemeckis is producing as his latest entry into the performance capture animation trend, [...]
It only took Jharkand 20 balls to win their match in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy today (the Indian regional Twenty20 contest and a must-watch in our household). That's because they had dismissed the hapless Tripura for just 30, the...
