I spent some time with director Ryan White to talk about the making of the new documentary “Good Night Oppy.” The film follows Opportunity, the Mars Exploration Rover who (yup, I said who — she’s like a human in the documentary) was expected to live for only 90 days but she ultimately explored the red planet for nearly 15 years.

Daniel Radcliffe and Evan Rachel Wood gave pitch-perfect performances as Weird Al Yankovic and Madonna respectively in “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.” It’s a parody musical biopic but here’s the surprising part – it has a lot of heart! And that’s largely due to these two actors and writer/director Eric Appel.

Eric Appel makes his feature directorial debut with “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” based on a Funny or Die short that he directed twelve years earlier. He co-wrote the script with the man himself, Weird Al Yankovic, and he is blessed in landing Daniel Radcliffe in the title role and Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna. The actors are fantastic!

I had a great time binge-watching Netflix’s new series “Uncoupled.” From Darren Star and Jeffrey Richman, “Uncoupled” features Neil Patrick Harris as a newly single gay man navigating the dating scene after being unceremoniously dumped by his partner of 17 years.

Tisha Campbell and Marcia Gay Harden act as support of Neil Patrick Harris’ character in the new romantic dramedy “Uncoupled” from Netflix. Campbell is the co-worker and friend of Harris and Harden is their rich New York real estate client.
I spoke with both actresses to talk about the show and its many themes.

Craig Robinson talks about his character Mr. Shark, his interest in making the film, his favorite disquise, and what he hopes for viewers to get after watching “The Bad Guys.”

From television to Broadway! I am ditching the world of cinema for the musical stage, at least for this weekend. I joined Desert Theatricals as they mount the rip-roaring Tony-winning musical “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.”

I had a fabulous time talking to the lovely ladies of “The Bubble.” The plot has a group of actors traveling to a closed film set (known as the bubble) in England to film “Cliff Beasts 6.” Leslie Mann and Karen Gillan play actresses while Maria Bakalova stars as Anika the front desk clerk at the hotel where the cast and crew are staying.
