Rating: PG-13 Stars: Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, Lucy Liu, J.K. Simmons, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, Kiernan Shipka, Wesley Kimmel, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Nick Kroll Writer: Chris Morgan, story by Hiram Garcia Director: Jake Kasdan Distributor: MGM/Amazon Studios Release Date: November 15, 2024 The premise of RED ONE contains all sorts of intriguing Northern and Eastern European folklore: not only Santa Claus, but some darker figures as well. This could have made a great Rankin-Bass special, either with conventional animation or RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER-style puppetry, or even a live-action fantasy, a la the NARNIA films. However, RED ONE, directed by […]Read On »

Stars: Jonny Lee Miller, Lucy Liu, Aidan Quinn Writer: Robert Doherty Directors: Michael Cuesta Network: CBS, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: October 27, 2012 While CBS tends to play it safe from its procedurals to its comedies, it’s taken some pretty ambitious chances this season first with the exceptional VEGAS and now with ELEMENTARY. Both series feel like cable shows and despite having some familiar crime-solving elements, both have proven to be highly original and very entertaining. ELEMENTARY is an updated Sherlock Holmes story with the former Scotland Yard detective serving as a consultant to the New York police force. […]Read On »

At the Summer 2012 CBS Press Tour today, ELEMENTARY creator Rob Doherty spoke about his new take on the Sherlock Holmes legend which transplants the famed Scotland Yard character (Jonny Lee Miller) to present day New York with a female Watson (Lucy Liu). “Our Sherlock is a puzzle solver – that’s his obsession,” says Doherty. “It’s to the point where you might call it an addiction. And in many instances, he has an addictive personality and he’s battled with cocaine. Ours has the same problem, but our Sherlock hits a serious wall. Life has always came easy for him. He […]Read On »

DreamWorks Animation held the Los Angeles Premiere of KUNG FU PANDA 2 at the Mann’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on May 22nd. They had a huge before party with games and food that the stars and guests attended. Each attendee was giving a black gift bag filled with stuff, although I’m not sure what was in the bag! Fans lined the open area opposite from the press to get autographs and take pictures, and waited until Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt arrived; which since Jolie and Pitt love their fans, they signed many autographs. Before the premiere started a paper […]Read On »

KUNG FU PANDA 2 is one of the hits in my book. This animated sequel from Dreamworks picks up pretty much where the last movie left off. Po (Jack Black) is the Dragon Warrior and he fights for […]Read On »
