INTERVIEW: JEFF GOLDBLUM

If you think Jeff Goldblum always plays his characters the same way, the fast talking, stammering, quirky genius of Jurrasic Park, Independence Day or The Fly, you should hear him talk in real life. He’s got exactly the same speech pattern, so it’s not an act. I must say, he’s been quite skilled at finding … Continue reading

INTERVIEW: MARTIN SCORSESE

Martin Scorsese needs no introduction, and frankly, with the editing job I have to do with his speech, I can’t spend any more time writing about him. Here’s what he said for about 45 minutes speaking about The Aviator, with a bit of polish and cleanup on my part. Q: Do you see any parallel … Continue reading

INTERVIEW: LEONARDO DiCAPRIO

For a while, it was uncertain whether Leonardo DiCaprio would live up to the potential suggested by What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. He transformed so completely into the mentally challenged Arnie, even much more lucrative roles as a young stowaway on the Titanic or an MTV version of Shakespeare seemed like average duties. Recent roles in … Continue reading

Additionally, I’ve announced that we’ll be starting a daily comic strip (mon-fri … Continue reading

INTERVIEW: NICOLAS CAGE

Nicolas Cage has not done traditional press rounds in at least the five years I’ve been a journalist. He’s always pleasant on the red carpet, answering a question or two if he makes it to your spot on the line, but no roundtable interviews. Only for Sonny, the film he directed, did he do three … Continue reading

SCREENING: BLADE: TRINITY

You guys like the screenings, so they keep coming (even though I’ve been lax in getting the Charlotte and Raleigh stuff organized as well as I should). Plus, when the films are genre flicks like this featuring the muscular hotnesses of both Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds it’s hard to say no. Blade Trinity, aka … Continue reading
