Walked by Meg Ryan today. She was standing on the sidewalk near a ton of movie trailers lined up along the Boston Public Gardens. I had snagged a spot at the end of the blocked off street where there were just a few spaces open. No one was reall...

the bridge is totally different

2007-02-03T14:23:20Z

When I was about 7 or 8, Bridge to Terabithia was probably my favorite book. When I saw that Disney was making the movie, I thought I should take some time to re-read it. I found that I was completely confused. It was nothing like I remembered t...

make those people disappear!

I went and saw The Illusionist yesterday. I enjoyed this movie a great deal. It was surprising, intriguing and entertaining. The casting was excellent. I've always liked Edward Norton since his Fight Club days and Paul Giamatti is amazing as usual...
