December 31, 2012 Unless there is some freakish spike today, the following ten movies will go down as the ten highest-grossing films of 2012. These figures--as of 11:59PM December 30, 2012-- come to us courtesy of one my favorite websites, boxofficemojo.com.
December 25, 2012 Jeremy Taylor at thefw.com had a great idea. Take the movie, 'Santa Claus: the Movie', a sprawling retelling of the legend of Santa Claus, with a subplot that involved a renegade elf named Patch who hooks up with a unscrupulous toy manufacturer before re-discovering the meaning of Christmas. Then, see what all the surviving cast members are doing. The star, Dudley Moore, passed away in 2002.
December 19, 2012 Growing up, I was into Spider-man and Batman and those are the action figures (along with their villains) that I would get for Christmas. Superman was never really my thing.
December 18, 2012 I enjoy watching Bob Clark’s classic holiday comedy over and over on TBS. And, it starts Monday night. I read on theFW.com that the film has a distinction that few family movies can claim: like me, most people don’t mind watching it over and over again.
December 12, 2012 Happy 12-12-12, everybody! On an occasion that only happens once every century--so I'm safely assuming this is the only one a great many of us will have--I thought it would be fun go all "twelve" on you. Yep, it's time to "twelve" it up with 12 Twelves for Your 12/12/12.
December 1, 2012 You've heard the expression about "going down with the ship?" Jennifer Day's debut single, "The Fun of Your Love" is the prime example. At the age of 20, Jennifer was signed to BNA Records and released her debut CD. And the label managed to get her lead-off single on the soundtrack of a major motion picture that was expected to be a major hit. Kevin Costner had already starred in a couple of blockbusters about baseball, Bull Durham and Field of Dreams. And his film, For the Love of the Game, was expected to be a huge smash too. Only it wasn't. It balked. Bad. And pretty much everything associated with the movie sat on the bench.
November 26, 2012 Abraham Lincoln drove people crazy. And, at the same time, he was so compelling a figure, you couldn't stay away. There wasn't an occasion for which Lincoln didn't have a corresponding story from his past. He was almost like the legendary TV detective Lieutenant Columbo--a very simple man with simple ways who was utterly brilliant and always had all the solutions.
November 18, 2012 It is undoubtedly been the biggest movie of the weekend. Breaking Dawn Part 2, which will bring to end the big-screen Twilight series, hit theatres Thursday and legions of fans have been flocking to the movies. Kizzy is right there with them and called The WBKR Waking Crew to let everyone know just how excited she is! LISTEN!
