Wednesday, June 17th, 2009Yesterday, while at an event at the Chameleon Café in Endicott (which I will review later) I was speaking with a group of friends. As the conversation was going along, the subject of comedy came up. Initially we were speaking about Eddie Izzard, who I think is fantastic.

Who will replace Sean Penn as Larry in Three Stooges movie
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009Well there are a few changes that are coming up in several movies being planned for 2010 or so. Several high profile movie stars have been added or left planned movies.

In addition to that review, Kaplan provided me with a chance to interview him via email. The following are the questions and answers from the director, perhaps [...]
DVD Review: Christina Ricci in Little Red Riding Hood
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009The title sounds so innoucuous. I’m sure that many are thinking that this has got to be a mistake on my part. That it must be a audio book review. But I’m not mistaken, and you will be surprised. And you will understand why this is a Chicago International Film Festival Silver Hugo Award winner. [...]
