Captain America and company are back with what is undisputably the best script and most well told and constructed story of any super hero movie to date - CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER. With a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeeley and the film now helmed by newcomers to the Marvel world, Anthony and Joe Russo, the bar of excellence is elevated to astronomical levels that future writers and directors in not only the Marvel universe, but others, will be hard pressed to equal...

Since 1994, the "Need for Speed" video game has had 20 different incarnations and racing adventures and is a multi-generational at-home thrill ride worldwide. Given its popularity and commercial success, it was only a matter of time before "Need for Speed" the game would become NEED FOR SPEED the movie.

Nothing warms my heart more than a father-daughter film - unless it's a father-daughter film with kick-ass action; which means, 3 DAYS TO KILL is killer! Exhilarating! High energy! High Heart! High Humor! As the second of five films starring Costner to hit theatres this year, 3 DAYS TO KILL finds the perfect blend of Costner's "everyman" sensibility, old school practicality and matter-of-fact humor with the high octane storytelling of director McG based on a script by Luc Besson and Hasak. Not...

With love and lust filling the air this Valentine's weekend, what better way to celebrate than with a fresh and funny romantic comedy that I like to describe as "raunchy likeable vulgarity." Without a doubt the funniest film of the year, Kevin Hart and Regina Hall make you laugh till you cry, or pee your pants, while Michael Ealy just steals your heart. ABOUT LAST NIGHT melds the hysterical outrageous comedy stylings of Hart and Hall with the warmth and tenderness of Ealy and Joy Bryant, all...
TEARS OF A CLOWN: Marko the Clown performs on the Promenade, lives on Ocean Park Blvd, but his heart is in Chicago where he lived with his girlfriend, Susan, who died about 3 years ago. The couple lived in a condo together, but not foreseeing her demise, she left the place to a friend rather than to Marko. He has recently given up the legal challenge, but not his love for her or his memories....
To thank the Santa Monica community for their incredible support through the years, Cirque du Soleil held a public event today in which performers from TOTEM entertained the public on Third Street Promenade. Internationally based Red Bull-affiliated BMX athletes and breakdancers joined the TOTEM performers for the event – which was a special celebration that brought Cirque du Soleil back where it originated from nearly 30 years ago: the street. TOTEM is the latest Cirque du Soleil big top p...
The Los Angeles Master Chorale, a cultural icon heralded around the globe for its exceptional artistry, pulled out the stops for their 50th anniversary weekend celebration. The program featured two performances of Bach’s B Minor Mass - the choral masterpiece that founding music director Roger Wagner inaugurated in 1965 at the just-opened Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, the Chorale’s home for 37 years. This time, Walt Disney Concert Hall, the residence of the Master Chorale since 2003, was the venue where the composition – considered one of the g...
Take one look at the purity of a magically light, bright and ethereal fountain scene in AT MIDDLETON and you immediately know how love feels, or should feel; how bliss and joy feel, or should feel. Take one look at Andy Garcia's face in the car or hear the sweet sadness in his voice as his character George and son Conrad "take the long way home" so the beauty of a day can linger a bit longer and that also tells you not only how love and bliss feel, but also heartbreak. One look at the wisp of...

1) Tell me a little about your past career(s) I grew up an avid equestrian (horse-a-holic) in Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village; singing, dancing, acting in musical theater and riding horses were my daily passions, my reason for being. Arriving in Hollywood's glamorous entertainment industry was a quick 30 minute drive down the 101 when I landed my first union TV job at age 18, Go-Go dancing opposite Garry Shandling. I co-hosted 'Up All Night' on USA Network with Rhonda Shear and by the...
One of the great strengths of THE LEGEND OF HERCULES lies in the story origins and bringing in Sean Hood and Daniel Giat as screenwriters, tapping into Hood's experience with mythology and reimagination with films like "Conan the Barbarian" (2011). The other is having Renny Harlin direct. The mythology of Hercules is a centuries old favorite and one of the most enduring legends. Hollywood has long ago embraced its wonder as it provides ample fuel for fantasy and visual mastery of technology as...
As the clock ticks down on 2013, many of you are enjoying a well deserved holiday respite which includes more than an average number of trips to the movie theater. And as usual, Hollywood is filling your big screen needs with a number of big name, highly anticipated movies for your holiday - and awards - consideration. GRUDGE MATCH Thank you director Peter Segal, Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro, Jon Bernthal and Kevin Hart for giving me a great Christmas present with GRUDGE MATCH. The...
Making this the jolliest holiday of the year, SAVING MR. BANKS is, quite frankly, practically perfect in every way. Based on the true account of the making of "Mary Poppins", SAVING MR. BANKS is the story behind the story; the battle of wills between studio titan Walt Disney and literary titan P.L. Travers as the man behind the mouse fought to fulfill a promise to his daughters, a promise to bring to life on the big screen the beloved story of the nanny with the bottomless carpetbag and talking...

Amidst all the early awards hoopla and limited release of some "big" movies, this week I direct your attention to a very special indie film - HOURS. Written and directed by Eric Heisserer, who here makes his directorial debut, HOURS is also one of the final films of Paul Walker and the one of which he was most proud. Close to Walker's heart, his passion and dedication to the story results in a tour de force performance that makes his recent passing all the more poignant, as with HOURS we see the...
In his sophomore outing with OUT OF THE FURNACE, writer/director Scott Cooper proves that he is no "flash in the directorial pan." Facing the daunting task of at least equaling, if not surpassing, the excellence of his award winning debut feature "Crazy Heart", Cooper pulls no punches, delivering a prosaically melancholy tale of hearth, home and the ties that bind. Set in the Rust Belt region of the United States outside Pittsburgh in Braddock, Pennsylvania, Cooper again embraces the...
