I have an interview with Survivor host Jeff Probst at The Trades about the upcoming season of the popular CBS reality show. During our conversation, we discussed the effects that online and social media have on shows such as Survivor.
“I have a love/hate relationship [with online media],” he told me. “I love the enthusiasm that [...]

New Fast & Furious Trailer
The new HD trailer for next summer’s “Fast & Furious” film is online. It is formulaic and features mostly what you’d expect – fast cars, explosions and beautiful women. That said, the first film in the franchise was one of those guilty pleasure movies that I must admit I really enjoyed. Just from watching the [...]
Jimmie Johnson – The Benefits of Giving Back
Earlier this week, I took part in a conference call with NASCAR champ Jimmie Johnson. On the call, I talked to him about the Jimmie Johnson Foundation, as well as how his image extends beyond the racetrack. You can read my article about Jimmie at The Trades.

Supermodel Brooklyn Decker Believes in Madden Curse
With Madden 09 being released this week, I thought I’d share part of a conversation I had with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker in which we discussed the well-documented Madden Curse.

Soundtracks – Underscoring Their Value to Motion Pictures
I’ve long believed that a movie’s score is one of the most overlooked and underappreciated aspects of filmmaking by the general moviegoing public. I was glad to see R.J. Carter stress the impact of movie music in his excellent review of “The Dark Knight” soundtrack. He wrote, “Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard are a big [...]
Johnny Depp – From Pirate to Riddler?
Several reports have recently surfaced linking Johnny Depp to the role of The Riddler in the next Batman movie. As Dark Horizons pointed out earlier this week, such suggestions are premature, as no characters of the next Bat-flick have been finalized.
Yet, one thing is certain – gone are the days of lame on-screen nemesises for [...]
