Avatar Wins Best Picture Globe

January 19, 2010

James Cameron accepted the ‘Best Picture’ award for “Avatar” Sunday Night at the Golden Globes. Cameron even went so far as to thank the audience in the native tongue of the imaginary planet, Pandora,  featured in his sci-fi blockbuster.

‘Best Pictures’ Struggling…

February 17, 2009

Film Oscar Outlook

Apparently this year’s crop of of  ’Best Picture’ nominees are not receiving the typical ‘Oscar bounce’ at the box office since being announced on Jan. 22.  I don’t understand this. If the Holocaust, a deplorable slum in India and Richard Nixon can’t get the American people to the theater, I don’t know what will.


Gray Means Green…

The most successful blockbusters so far this summer have featured older actors, from 65-year-old Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones to the 40-Plus gang in Sex-in-the-City. Movie producers are apparently getting the message. Producers of `Spiderman 4′ just dropped Toby Maguire for Steve Guttenberg.


Puerto Rico, HO!…Universal Fire…Tatum O’Neal

A massive fire raged at Universal Studios in LA over the weekend, damaging movie sets and the King Kong ride at the theme park. King Kong was resting comfortably atop the Empire State Building and could not be reached for comment.

Hillary Clinton apparently hasn’t learned her lesson since her controversial reference to Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination as reason for her to stay in the race. Today, the Senator said she planned to keep campaigning even if Obama is elected President in November. “Hey, we all know what happened to William Henry Harrison,” she said.

The figures are in….the new Indiana Jones movie brought in $311 million around the world. It’s the second-highest Memorial Day holiday weekend opening in history. Movie-goers defied pundits who believed the series had grown tired. Critics didn’t think audience members would be intrigued by Indy’s new adventure: Unearthing Harrison Ford’s high school class ring.

NASA said this week that the International Space Station’s toilet is broken. Roto Rooter said that they can get there somewhere between 2010 and 2013.
