The Best Time of Day to Take Kids to the Theater
8 May 2013 11:36 AM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
One of my all-time favorite outings growing up was when my dad took me to the movies. Nothing compared to being transported into an imaginary world while munching on popcorn and discussing our opinions afterward. Flash forward to 2004. My husband and I took our firstborn daughter to see Curious George in theaters while I was nine months pregnant with our second child. Taking a two-year-old meant lots of worries were running through our minds during this first-time adventure: Will she be able to sit through it? Will we have to walk out? Will it make her cry? In fact, it was one of the most magical parenting moments that neither my husband nor I will ever forget. As the lights went down and the screen lit up, so did our toddler daughter's face. Reaching for...

Film Review: 'Chimpanzee'
5 May 2013 11:34 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★★☆☆ In the ever-watchable Chimpanzee (2012), Blue Planet producers Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield transport us to the Ivorian rainforests of Taï National Park, where we are introduced to three-month-old Oscar - a cheeky ape who gains an unexpected ally when he's faced with more than his fair share of troubles from a rival group of chimps. As is to be expected from a Disney Nature-backed documentary, the tone is light throughout as we witness the daily trials and tribulations of life below the canopy. The level is set (and kept) at 'pleasingly chirpy', with a heavy injection of anthropomorphism given to the travailing troop.
American actor Tim Allen's merry, if at times rather corny narration keeps this rather short, feature-length tale chortling along, referring to the oldest chimpanzee as 'Grandpa' and crowbarring in jokes seemingly swiped from his 1990s TV show Home Improvement. At times, this approach results in »

The Strangest Fan Mail Tiffani Thiessen Ever Received
18 April 2013 7:25 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
These days, our knowledge of celebrities too often originates with paparazzi images and snarky quotes by anonymous "insiders." After a while, it's easy to forget that stars are real people. That's why HuffPost Celebrity decided to launch its all-new #nofilter quick-fire question-and-answer series. Because how well do you know someone until they've shared their guiltiest pleasures?
Tiffani Thiessen not only plays an event planner on USA's "White Collar"; the actress knows how to throw a party in real life, too. In honor of Earth Day, Thiessen teamed with Glad to host a bash celebrating its "One Bag" initiative, after which only one bag of trash was sent to landfill and the rest went to compost and recycling. We caught up with Thiessen, 39, to talk about her environmental efforts, bizarre fan mail and the many memorable storylines of "Saved By The Bell."
Why did you want to work with Glad on this campaign? »

Castle Review: Framing Big Foot
16 April 2013 1:32 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
"The Fast and the Furriest" was a wonderful combination of both funny and sweet moments.
It was another Perlmutter episode and as much as I love Lanie, Perlmutter is a completely different kind of fun. Here, he was definitely the perfect foil for Castle's Big Foot theories. Added points for making me laugh when he called Esposito and Ryan The B Team.
I liked that they didn't jump to Big Foot right away. First they went with the crazy monkey theories, which led to Ryan's adorable revelation as he shared his childhood love for his favorite primate in this Castle quote…
Ryan: I always wanted a pet monkey when I was a kid. Big Curious George fan.
Castle: Wait 'til George grows up. An adult chimpanzee can reach 200 lbs, tear off a man's face, hands, and naughty bits. | permalink
When Ryan corrected that George would never do that, »

2013 MTV Movie Awards Recap: Rebel Yell
15 April 2013 4:16 AM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
The MTV Movie Awards proved a point last night: They're the least pretentious award show in existence, but with hardcore star power and a healthy amount of the absurd. Just like Taylor Lautner's pecs. Bless.
Host Rebel Wilson's greatest asset was her willingness to say, do, or potentially dryhump anything. After an explosive opening featuring Pitch Perfect's players and their interpretations of "Lose Yourself," "Girl on Fire," "The Climb," and "Thrift Shop," Rebel approached the mic in what can only be described as a pleather catsuit worthy of both Lee Meriwether and Frederick's of Hollywood.
"I'm surprised I was asked to host," she deadpanned. "And so was [MTV]. They thought I was Adele." Ok. Very cute.
Melissa McCarthy -- fly as ever in all black -- presented Best Male Performance to Bradley Cooper in Silver Linings Playbook. He also picked up the "Best Kiss" trophy for »

“The Price Is Right” host
After more than 1,000 episodes at the forefront of daytime’s most-watched series (averaging nearly 5 million viewers), Carey still has predecessor Bob Barker on his mind every time out but feels secure in being captain of the ship.

But, he adds, what has made the most difference since taking the job has been his weight loss. “All of a sudden, I had all this extra energy,” he says. »

'Oz: The Great and Powerful' Family Review
6 March 2013 11:10 AM, PST | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Parents sometimes think that if a movie is rated PG, even a kindergartener could handle it. And while that may be the case for some PG-rated movies, it's certainly not the case for "Oz the Great and Powerful." Yes, it's fine for tweens in their last years of elementary school, but for the single-digit set, it will really depend on how susceptible they are to frights. Director Sam Raimi has made a visual spectacle full of vibrant landscapes and kitschy set pieces. James Franco plays the ambitious magician nicknamed Oz who doesn't want to settle down with a sweetie and be a good Kansas man; he wants glory and greatness. After an entertaining black-and-white sequence that sets up Oz's reputation as the Casanova of the traveling carnival circuit, a tremendous twister whisks his hot air balloon away to a mysterious (and colorful) and new land -- that just happens to bear his name. »

Meme: Mark Consuelos and John Stamos Put To the Test On "The New Normal," "Don Jon's Addiction" Requires a Tissue Sponsorship, and Did "Glee" Rip Off Jonathan Coulton?
19 January 2013 9:03 PM, PST | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
Well, this is unpleasant. Glee's Mark Salling is being sued by an ex-girlfriend for sexual battery. She says she insisted on condoms for their private moments, but he didn't comply. Then when she went to confront him, she found him in bed with someone else, leading to a push and a police report.
I'm not sure when the dead of winter became the season for horror movies, but Mama is leading the box office this weekend with $30 million, while Oscar contenders Zero Dark Thirty ($20 million) and Silver Linings Playbook ($13 million) line up for first and second.
I just had to share this excerpt from Sundance about Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Don Jon's Addiction.

For one thing, his aerobicized frame and onscreen bedroom prowess here has to put him on the short list for »

Elmo and PBS: Network head says 'Sesame Street' character isn't going anywhere
16 January 2013 6:50 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
The furry red toddler will live on.
Elmo will remain a major character on "Sesame Street." Though he seems to be everywhere, Elmo is not the official face of PBS Kids, Paula A. Kerger, president and CEO of PBS, says in a wide-ranging one-on-one with Zap2it.
"I think about Kevin a lot, and his commitment to 'Sesame Street' and the work he does and how he loves the work," Kerger says about Kevin Clash, who resigned after repeated accusations that he had sex with underage boys. "That is why he made the decision to step back. He is extraordinarily talented and this is extraordinarily sad."
"PBS Kids has not shied away from using Elmo," she says, adding that few people realize which character trumps him. "Curious George is actually the No. 1 show of PBS Kids."
Other children's shows such as "SuperWHY," "Word Girl" and "Cat in the »
