Film Preview: P.S. I Love You

I was considering seeing a movie this weekend but it had to be something that I just couldn’t wait to see.  A girlfriend mentioned "P.S. I Love You" and my heart sank.  It just sounds lame but I wanted to be fair.  I decided that, rather than find out that my negative suspicions are correct […]

Movie Trailer: Hellboy II: The Golden Army

"Hellboy II: The Golden Army" has new trailer!  It’s being directed by Guillermo del Toro ("Pan’s Labyrinth") so, hopefully, it will be good.  Am I excited???  NO!!!  I’m really sorry but I did not like the first "Hellboy" all that much and I really like comic-based entertainment.  Oh well.

Writers Plan to Picket Golden Globe Awards

The WGA plans to picket the Golden Globe Awards on January 13, 2008 unless, of course, the writers’ strike has ended by then.  Therefore, actors and actresses who wish to attend the awards will be forced to either skip it or cross the picket line - either way, it stinks.  Can you imagine being one […]

John Travolta Dropped From "Dallas" Movie

Actor, John Travolta, is no longer among the cast for the upcoming "Dallas" movie, which shocks me because he’s been the project’s selling point for 2 years!
Page Six has been told that the Golden Globe-nominated actor (for his role in Hairspray) was "let go about two weeks ago. He had the role of J.R. […]
