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

HOLLYWOODN’T: Re-SIGNed

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
