Just heard the news. He was 74 years old (just a few years older than my mother). Very sad but expected given he had been terminally ill with prostate cancer for some time now. I know Hopper is hardly the archetype of a chick flick hunk–I don’t think he ever made ANY films that traditionally [...]

Talk about a gender divide. The critical pummeling Sex And The City 2 has received the last few days serves as a sterling example of how different men and women are when it comes to MANY THINGS! Because many of you have probably already read one of the infinite negative reviews, I decided not to [...]

I am crediting DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com for these stats. Supposedly, the movie is on track to make more than $60 million for the long holiday weekend. Talk about being critics-proof. I’m going to see it tonight and will post a review tomorrow morning.

An hour ago, I walked past the Chelsea Clearview cinemaplex on 23rd and 8th Avenue–ALL and I mean ALL of today’s showings (day and night) of Sex and The City 2 at three different theaters within the cinemaplex are sold out. This was 1:15 pm. So much for critics.

Sex and the City 2

Supposedly its box office gross right now is $13.5 million. I have no idea what the box office gross for The Back-Up Plan is. $100? It should be.

But the critic said it is overly long (two and a half hours). Well, that’s okay–the first one was long and we survived. According to this critic, the film is a definite improvement from the first one which already makes me happy because I was, uh, underwhelmed by the first one. Here’s the link to [...]

Back in the late 1990s, JLo, otherwise known as Jennifer Lynn Lopez of the South Bronx, was a very promising triple threat performer. She had worked as a “fly girl” dancer under choreographer/actress Rosie Perez on the hit comedy show In Living Color (which boasted a bevy of up and coming stars including a young [...]
