By Claire
Just saw that movie last night. Interesting - as you might have guessed from the title - lots of music. Lots of funny cameos including Andy Samberg and Seth Myers of SNL. In addition to Michael Cera and Kat Dennings, the cast included a lot of actors from well known tv shows and movies: Alexis Dziena who played E's girlfriend on Entourage, Zachary Booth who plays Glenn Close's son on Damages, Jay Baruchel from Tropic Thunder, Undeclared and Almost Famous, to name a few. Have you seen it?

By Claire
Avatar is no. 1 for the 7th week in a row. With over $2 billion in worldwide box office it has surpassed he previous record of top grossing movie set by Titanic. It is less than $7 million away from besting the domestic box office record set by Titanic as well. Wow.
Of the new releases, Edge of Darkness came in 2nd with a little over $17 million and When in Rome came in 3rd with a little over $12 million. For all the weekend movie results, click here.

Twelve, Joel Schumacher's film about drug-dealing among privileged Manhattan teens stars Chace Crawford, Emma Roberts, Ellen Barkin, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and Rory Culkin.

Damages Last Night

By Claire
Did you catch the first episode of the new season of Damages last night? It was incredible. Chock full of story lines, twists and turns, and an unbelievable spoiler which I will not give away if you haven't seen it yet. Patty is always up to no good, and the new cast of characters including Martin Short as a lawyer, Lily Tomlin as the wife of a scandal ridden guy, and Campbell Scott as her son are all very substantive characters.

Well, after 15 months in Chicago, where the run keeps getting extended, it is heading to Broadway. The show will play in the Nederlander Theatre, where one of my other favorites, Rent, played for many years. Previews start in March and opening night is scheduled for April 11.

Avatar No. 1 Again!
Sunday, January 24, 2010
By Claire
For the 6th week in a row, Avatar is no. 1 at the weekend box office pulling in an estimated $36 Million. That brings its domestic total to over $550 Million and its worldwide total to over $1.8 Billion. It is $6 Million away from taking over the no. 1 spot for all time top worldwide grossing movie from Titanic and $48 million from besting it as top domestic grossing film. Pretty unbelievable, especially considering they are both James Cameron films.
For new releases, Legion did well coming at no. 2 with over $18 Million, The Tooth Fairy came in at no. 4 with over $14 million, and Extraordinary Measures came in at no. 7 with an estimated $7 million.
In its second week out, The Book of Eli did well coming in at no. 3 with an estimated $17 million. For all the weekend movie totals, click here.

Sad that Heath Ledger was not able to complete its filming, however, friends like Johnny Depp and Jude Law filled in for his role. Since the film is so over the top the change of "characters" worked fairly seamlessly.

The Good Wife and other Big Golden Globe Winners
Sunday, January 17, 2010
By Claire
Julianna Margulies won the Golden Globe for her role as Alicia Florek in The Good Wife. She does such an excellent portrayal of a complex woman. Very cool she was recognized.
Other big winners include Mo'Nique (who spoke beautifully), Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock, John Lithgow, Michael C. Hall, Drew Barrymore, Robert Downey Jr., Mad Men, Glee, The Hangover, Avatar, James Cameron and Martin Scorsese receiving the Cecil B DeMille award. Click here for the full list of winners.
Ricky Gervais was overall pretty funny. Some of his bits introducing presenters, especially Mel Gibson, were quite hilarious.
It was also really nice that throughout the night there were many reminders about the devastation in Haiti and the importance of helping out, including most of the attendees wearing special ribbons.

That brings its worldwide total to over an estimated $1,465,000,000 - yes that is very close to $1.5 billion. Wild. Avatar director James Cameron even made a cameo in the SNL Digital Short last night. Sigourney Weaver, one of the stars of Avatar, hosted SNL.
New release The Book of Eli, starring Denzel Washington, did very well at no. 2 making over an estimated $31 million.

Just saw Daybreakers. It was a good movie, not great. Let's just say, "it was entertaining." The movie had some good lines, but resorted to a lot of "cheap" scares that just happened to be effective almost every time even when you knew they were coming. It's not going to be a "classic" vampire or horror film, but it was good escapism.

Did You Know?
Wednesday, January 13, 2010
By Claire
That Famous Amos Cookies were started in 1975 by a guy, Wally Amos, who was a talent agent at William Morris. Just heard that on Jeopardy. So random. According to the Wikipedia page, he and the cookies also appeared in a 1981 episode of the tv show, Taxi:
"Brand familiarity with Famous Amos cookies received a boost when the cookies, and their maker, were prominently featured in an episode of the television sitcom Taxi (season 3, episode #55, February 5, 1981). In the episode, entitled "Latka's Cookies," Sunshine Cab Company mechanic Latka Gravas strives to become a famous cookie mogul like his idol, Famous Amos. Latka's cookies, however, contain a narcotic ingredient that makes the nearly inedible cookies (based on his grandmother's secret recipe) addictive. Cookie maker Wally Amos appears to Latka in a vision. It was, at the time, an unparalleled instance of product placement for a prime-time television show."

Matthew Perry Will Be Back on Tv!
Tuesday, January 12, 2010
By Claire
ABC has officially picked up Matthew Perry's pilot, Mr. Sunshine, a comedy in which Perry stars " as the manager of an aging San Diego stadium who realizes on his 40th birthday that he can no longer get by on just his charming, noncommittal ways". Sounds like a great role for him. Though I can never get enough of him as Chandler from Friends, it will be cool to see him play a new character.
In other Friend's news, Courtney Cox's show, Cougar Town, has been renewed for another season.

How I Met Your Mother
Tuesday, January 12, 2010
By Claire
So totally funny. They really outdid themselves for the 100th episode - Rachel Bilson, Tim Gunn and Stacy Kiebler all guest starred. Rachel was great as a grad student dating Ted who tries to keep men away from her roommate (who we find out Ted ends up marrying) because guys always fall for her. There was no introduction of the roommate but it was nice to be one step closer to meeting "the Mother" of HIMYM. Neil Patrick Harris as Barney was hilarious contemplating giving up suits for a woman. He was outstanding in his musical number which was fun, catchy and clever all at once. Did you see it?

By Bender
Well, looks like Leno will be coming back to his old late night time slot. I personally like Conan a lot and think he's hysterical, but he wasn't/isn't right for the late night slot - his humor is too niche. Anyway, I think Leno will be back on top and Conan will go on to better things, but this is one major screw up by NBC - both the late decisions and the way the aftermath is being handled.

The Good Wife
Sunday, January 10, 2010
By Claire
Just caught up on the new episode of The Good Wife from this week. Another stellar one. Without trying, Alicia gets herself in some wacky situations. She somehow, without any of her own doing, ends up as a secret weapon in a divorce case at the request of the wife, and the husband (not exactly a friend of her family) retaliates in a very interesting way. There was also an intriguing case about a scandalous talk show host, free speech and the interesting role politics can play in a trial. Great show as always.

Not sure what to make of this. Who thought taking Leno off the Tonight Show at its peak was a good idea in the first place? Leno's new show isn't doing well. Tonight Show audiences haven't connected with Conan. Yeesh. While I like Conan a lot, he wasn't the right fit for the Tonight Show. Bring Leno back and give Conan his show back or a new show. Press the "Redo" button already - it's ok even big, overpaid TV executives are human and make mistakes!

Just saw this completely original film that makes you laugh and think and reflect (not to sound too dorky). It's not a typical romantic comedy, in fact, as the narrator tells you at the very beginning, it's not meant to be a love story (even though in some ways it is). Interestingly, right after I watched it, I came across the attached piece of news, Alexa Ray Joel, daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley, is going to speak out about heartbreak related depression due to recent events in her life, a topic the movie touches upon.
