‘Precious’ star Gabourey Sidibe at the Duracell Power Lab
I really have no idea what the Duracell Power Lab is, so if anyone knows, feel free to tell us in the comments below. I’m just posting this because I’ve been following “Precious” star Gabourey Sidibe on the talk show circuit, and she’s so adorable. On “The Jay Leno Show” a while back, they brought…

‘Shrek Forever After’ – The last sequel ever!
The trailer for “Shrek Forever After” is online, and Dreamworks is calling is the last sequel in this particular franchise. Of course, I don’t believe it. The cynical side of me says if they can keep making money on it, they’ll keep churning out sequels or video games or straight-to-dvd installments. But the characters really…

Sandra Bullock beats out George Clooney as top star of 2009 box office
Sandra Bullock had a great year in 2009. I was really happy to see her return full force to the movie biz, because I’ve been a big fan since her “Speed” days. I think we can all agree that “The Blind Side” and “The Proposal” all but erased the memory of the dismal “All About…

Screamstress talks to Lance Henriksen (“Bishop” in the ‘Alien’ franchise)
One of my favorite characters in the “Alien” franchise is Bishop, the synthetic artificial person played by Lance Henriksen. Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) wasn’t too keen on having him on the team, but she changed her tune by the end of the movie, after Bishop rescued her and Newt from the platform: Bishop: I’m sorry if…

Do you want an ‘Avatar’ sequel?
As soon as I walked out of the theater after seeing “Avatar,” I started thinking this franchise could go anywhere. And they basically set things up to do just that, with most of the humans returning to their ravaged earth and the Pandorans taking back control of their planet. And based on the impressive box…

Exclusive: Interview with Caitlin Sanchez, the new Dora the Explorer!
(Interview conducted November, 2008.) I was thrilled to speak with Caitlin Sanchez recently. At 12 years old, she’s an up-and-coming actress whose star is rising by the minute. Last week, I watched her in an episode of NBC’s “Lipstick Jungle,” but more importantly, she’s the new voice of “Dora the Explorer”! Read on for Caitlin’s…

‘G-Force’ – Good fun for kids!
“G-Force” was released on DVD and Blu-ray Dec. 15, 2009, and while kids older than 10 or 11 might be bored with the talking animals, it’s a cute flick for kids in the 5 to 9 age range. Read my full review here, but to summarize, it’s a CG-animated movie featuring super-smart animal spies who…

Film Gecko Giveaway: ‘Paranormal Activity’ Scare Kit & DVD
Here’s a fun giveaway for fans of “Paranormal Activity,” or any scary movies, for that matter. While I don’t think the movie is as scary as everyone makes it out to be (read my review here), it’s still a great way to spend a couple of hours – and a good lesson in how to…

Good News! Kate Winslet tops ‘Best Body’ list
Well, this is good news. Kate Winslet is often razzed for her curvy body and weight issues, but now who’s got the last laugh? According to UK’s Daily Mail, Winslet’s figure tops the most desirable celeb bodies list, followed by Halle Berry and Kelly Brook. See a pattern here? They’re all not exactly stick-thin (thank…

‘The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard’ – The worst movie of 2009?
I don’t know if “The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard” is the worst movie of 2009, but it certainly ranks right up there. Or rather, down there. It had the potential to be a sleeper cult hit, but just didn’t hit the mark. It stars Jeremy Piven, who’s basically playing his Ari Gold character from…

‘Paranormal Activity’ – Really? One of the scariest movies ever?
Maybe it’s because I only just watched this movie last night. Maybe it’s because I read all the hype and saw stars Micah Sloat and Katie Featherston on the talk show circuit. Maybe it’s because I’d already seen a lot of clips and trailers of the movie. Or maybe it’s because I watch a lot…
