FAMED MOVIE CRITIC, TO RERUN PAST INTERVIEWS FOR CHARITY.

After 44 years doing movie reviews and movie star interviews on the TV news at CBS and NBC in Los Angeles, David Sheehan has a new calling: an online web series called "The Other Side of Stardom."
Each week, Sheehan will revisit one of his classic interviews in an effort to bring the most provocative thoughts of Hollywood's most celebrated stars to a whole new audience. Al Pacino, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robin Williams, and Tom Cruise are among the first stars to be featured.
All net proceeds from the series (FOR A YEAR) will benefit Sheehan's three favorite charities: Children of the Night, Habitat for Humanity, and St. Jude Children's Hospital.
"The Other Side of Stardom" represents a second chance for fans everywhere to experience Sheehan's very thoughtful and unusually personal conversations with a star-studded list of Hollywood greats, including:  Robert Redford, Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Michelle Feiffer, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Jane Fonda, Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, Denzel Washington, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, Robin Williams, and more.
Actor Al Pacino is the first subject of "The Other Side of Stardom" series, prompted by critic Sheehan's rave review of Pacino's new movie "Manglehorn."
Sheehan's very personal interview with Pacino explores the acclaimed actor's attitudes about his own long life of acting, and what it has done for him (and to him) as a person.
"The Other Side of Stardom" is a co-production of Hollywood Close-Ups, Inc. and RetroVideo, Inc., directed by noted video editor Derek Bloom, editorial supervisors John Diamond & Mark Braverman, media managers AJ Barton, Toy Newkirk & Rob Neason, with Kellyann Chippendale and Jeff Jacobs, executive producers.

Created pro bono by Warner Bros. for the Ad Council, the new creative includes English language TV and radio advertising and uses scenes from the feature film San Andreas to amplify earthquake safety awareness and the protective actions that can be taken in the event of an earthquake. Featuring Dwayne Johnson, one of the stars of the film, the PSAs educate audiences on the three steps to take if an earthquake strikes; “Drop, Cover and Hold On.” The PSAs direct audiences to Ready.gov/Earthquake, where visitors can access more information on how to protect themselves, their families, and property before, during, and after an earthquake. It is critically important to highlight the steps people can take to protect themselves from an earthquake. According to joint research by the U.S. Geological Service (USGS) and FEMA, nearly half the U.S. population, 150 million Americans, are exposed to potentially damaging earthquake shaking. “Earthquakes can occur anywhere in the U.S. without warning,” said FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate. “The PSA provides earthquake safety tips that are vital to preparing yourself and your family to react quickly, which will save lives.” The new PSAs are an extension of FEMA and the Ad Council’s Ready campaign, which has helped to generate more than 87 million unique visitors to the campaign’s website Ready.gov since its launch in 2003. Through the Ad Council, to date, the Ready campaign has received more than $1.1 billion in donated media. “We are glad that Dwayne Johnson and Warner Bros. are helping to support the important earthquake preparedness messaging behind our Ready campaign,” said Lisa Sherman, president and CEO of the Ad Council. “It is through strategic partnerships such as this that we can reach the largest audience possible, and families can learn how to be prepared in the event of a disaster.” The Ad Council is distributing the new PSAs to media outlets nationwide this week and the PSAs will run and air in advertising time and space donated by the media.

CELEBRITY Q AND A: JENNIFER GARNER.

In 2003, I was an extra in National Treasure, during the Smithsonian scene where Nick Cage- sets up the plan to steal the Declaration of Independence. During lunch, I snuck over to the TV show-Alias ,at their main office over at Disney, to do some snooping.

As I was over hearing plot devices- near the writer's room, that's when I Spy Jennifer Garner. For some reason, She looked like, she was walking in slow motion. Dressed in contemporary casual, lady ninja gear-all in black. She's wearing tight black jeans and boots with a matching sweater. Her striking, brown hair flowing in the wind. I thought I heard- 50 Cent's "In the Club" playing, as she walked.

After my self-induced hallucination of her, I notice she was talking with her co-star Victor Garber (her on-air dad Jack Bristow.) Garber dressed in a big grey trench-coat. He is so tall, I can only see the  trench-coat. He comes off, like Al in the Naked Gun movies- a torso with no head, taking from above my line of sight.

Then, Sydney turns her elevated head toward me. I quickly realized I was caught and started to leave. She looked startled,but had a polite smile. She stated, "You can't go in there....that's the writer's room."

I sheepishly look back over my shoulder, grin and shrug. Confused, I keep moving forward. As I walk away,I hear Garner disappointed about "how rude," I was. I didn't even say hello, ask for autograph or something.

I'm watching their reflection in a mirror,as I walk.  I can still see Garner and Garber's coated upper frame. Garber surmised that,  I didn't speak to them out of nervousness and the fact that "he ALMOST recognized us."

Note: As a joke or playful Revenge,Garner quickly sent co-star David Anders (Turncoat agent Julian Sark) to stalk me, back over to my set. He kept following me and reaching under his coat-like he'll pull a gun and try to shot me. I doubled back behind a trailer and lost him. I got back to my set,without getting caught by that staff. I could have totally been on this show, talking.

 

CELEBRITY Q AND A: PARIS HILTON AND QUENTIN TARENTINO.

In 2007, The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters was opening at the Nuart Theatres. The owner of the place, was the film geek on Beat the Geeks. Anyway, after playing a live arcade version of Donkey Kong in the lobby, I went to find a seat inside.

Unfortunately, the place was packed, and I couldn't find anywhere to sit. I was towards the back the audience and thinking of leaving. That's when the godmother of celebrity reality TV: Paris Hilton stood up in a red cocktail dress. She noticed my disappointment and said, "It's O.K., you can have my seat." I was shocked by her generosity, considering her reputation.

I said, dressed in a dark blue suit, "Really....(she nodded and smiled)....Thanks." She got up and made her date leave with her. They calmly left the theatre.

The film itself was pretty good. Imagine a episode of Hercules: Legendary Journeys- with a Kevin Sorbo looking Chemistry teacher (married to a tall Gabrielle, Xena's gal-pal) on his quest to break a old school video game record. It's held by an Ares type (New Zealand's Kevin Smith)-A Hot Sauce baron (married to a Xena type, the size of Gabrielle!) A Joxer looking guy is his flunkie, who submitted a faked video, in order to take back the record. The film became, the one vs. the corrupt world style film, to succeed in an "It IS who you know" type world.

After the film, I went a played a few more games and then went outside. I walked a couple of feet and I didn't realize- I accidentally brushed past the Inglorious Bastard himself. He said "Why don't watch where you're going, you fat f-----!" I turned around shocked at the lies, from the more arrogant, fatter fuck. Also, he's hardly more manly- considering the sadistic, bloody, beating he took from Jennifer Garner, on her old TV show Alias.

Then, he just snickers- like a villain,dressed as Johnny Cash. He proclaimed, "What are you gonna do?" and moved his hand toward me. Pissed off, I got lucky and quickly punched him- deep in his far bigger stomach. He catches his gut and I run like hell. I quickly jumped into a taxi and headed home. I'm quite proud that, I decked a talented, scumbag liar asshole,like Jimmy. Plus, the statute of limitations are expired, so legally I'm safe.

Note: I ran into Hilton- a year later after this incident, at the Hollywood-Highland Plaza. She was hosting an event on the fourth level, at a night club.She was very nice and we just briefly shot the breeze,while she was flanked by friends. I said good-bye and she stated it was nice, seeing me again.

THE MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS 2- RELEASED ON DVD AND CD TODAY.

 Back Lot Music has released the soundtrack for THE MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS 2, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's action-adventure film starring RZA.  The album features 23 new score cues by RZA & Howard Drossin as well as 4 songs featured in the film.  THE MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS 2 releases today – day and date with the soundtrack album – on Blu-Ray™, DVD and Digital HD.

Drossin and RZA's acclaimed scores to The Man with the Iron Fists and its sequel are mash-ups from the start. They incorporate Hip-Hop, Stax and Asian instrumentation, with a 70's sensibility that pays homage to many of the scores from that era which they both admire, including old Kung Fu films and the Shaw Brothers' films.
Drossin has been scoring films since the late 1990's. He has collaborated with Terence Blanchard for over 10 years, orchestrating film scores like Inside Man, 25th Hour, Red Tails, Black or White and his Grammy-Award-Winning A Tale of God's Will. Drossin continued that collaboration on "Champion," an 'opera in jazz' commissioned by the St. Louis Opera.
RZA is a Grammy® award-winning music producer & recording artist, BAFTA nominated film composer, actor and director. He's one of the most prominent figures in hip-hop music and the creator/producer of the Wu-Tang Clan. He has an extremely distinguished body of work in music scoring for filmmakers such as Ridley Scott, Jim Jarmusch and Quentin Tarantino. He recently scored the Emmy nominated American adaptation of the Japanese anime "Afro Samurai", executive produced and starring Samuel L. Jackson. Most recently, RZA won a Grammy for producing songs for Kanye West's My Crazy Twisted Dark Fantasy and the Jay Z/ Kanye collaboration album Watch the Throne.
About the Film Thaddeus (RZA) is back in this explosive action adventure inspired by Kung Fu classics.  A reluctant villager joins forces with a mysterious outsider to fight off powerful evil forces, both earthly and otherworldly, in a 19^th century Chinese mining town. When a stranger, Thaddeus, is found badly wounded near the village, miner Li Kung (Dustin Nguyen) and his wife Ah Ni (Eugenia Kang) offer him refuge. As he heals, he becomes entrenched in a conflict that pits the townsfolk against the evil Master Ho (Carl Ng), his nefarious Beetle Clan and the terrifying Lord Pi (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa). With Thaddeus at his side, the mild-mannered Kung transforms into a deadly warrior in this martial arts epic.

ANDY GARCIA TO HOST DOCU, ON SAINT JOHN PAUL II ON SELECT PBS STATION. IT WILL NOT AIR IN LOS ANGELES OR NEW YORK.

-- A new documentary on St. John Paul II and his relationship with North and South America will screen this month on PBS-affiliated stations and EWTN, the international Catholic network, helping to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the pope's death on April 2, 2005. The film was produced by the Knights of Columbus.
"John Paul II in America: Uniting a Continent" explores the indelible mark left on the Western Hemisphere by the papacy of John Paul II. It will be shown on PBS stations nationwide beginning on Good Friday, April 3, and will be available throughout a large portion of the U.S. later in the month on CatholicTV of Boston and EWTN.
St. John Paul presented an understanding of a "united American continent" under the patronage of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and his travels as pope from Argentina to Alaska — 22 journeys in all — generated massive crowds, helped form an entire generation of Catholics, and played a part in shaping history.
Viewers will be both intrigued and moved by the documentary's framework for understanding one of the giant figures of modern times within the context of the American continent.
Narrated by actor Andy Garcia, the film features rare archival footage and analyses from leading Catholic figures, including Cardinal Seán P. O'Malley of Boston, Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson, John Paul II biographer George Weigel and former Vatican spokesman Joaquín Navarro-Valls.
"John Paul II brought a great renewal of confidence, excitement and joy to Christian life that was manifested in such events as the canonization of St. Juan Diego in Mexico City and the World Youth Days in Buenos Aires, Denver and Toronto," said Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl Anderson. "He also issued a renewed call for human dignity, the gospel of life, respect for indigenous people, and a commitment to the poor throughout Latin America and North America."

As the choice L.A. destination to see the latest installment in the Fast & Furious film series, Universal CityWalk's AMC Theatres will jump-start the excitement with advance screenings of Furious 7 starting at select times every seven minutes after the hour beginning on Thursday, April 2. The AMC Theatres will also bridge the gap to this latest film with an exciting two-day movie marathon at CityWalk, featuring all previous six Fast & Furious films on Tuesday, March 31 and Thursday, April 2.

Located within Universal Plaza, a convergence of original Fast & Furious prop cars will be on display for guests and fans of the film series, including Dom's 1970 Dodger Charger R/T.  The black, V8-powered car first appeared in The Fast and the Furious and has been a mainstay in every action-packed film since.

NETFLIX: "PEANUT BUTTER AND JEALOUS," SO IT MAKES ITS OWN EMPIRE.

The Get Down, a new Netflix Original Series, from visionary director Baz Luhrmann, will premiere exclusively on Netflix in all territories in 2016.

The series marks Luhrmann's first music-driven drama since the global hit Moulin Rouge!

The one-hour, 13-episode drama from Sony Pictures Television will focus on 1970s New York City – broken down and beaten up, violent, cash strapped -- dying. Consigned to rubble, a rag-tag crew of South Bronx teenagers are nothings and nobodies with no one to shelter them – except each other, armed only with verbal games, improvised dance steps, some magic markers and spray cans. From Bronx tenements, to the SoHo art scene; from CBGBs to Studio 54 and even the glass towers of the just-built World Trade Center, The Get Down is a mythic saga of how New York at the brink of bankruptcy gave birth to hip-hop, punk and disco -- told through the lives and music of the South Bronx kids who changed the city, and the world...forever.

Luhrmann, director of Moulin Rouge!, Romeo + Juliet, and The Great Gatsby, will direct the first two episodes and the season finale and serve as executive producer. Academy-Award winner Catherine Martin (The Great Gatsby, Moulin Rouge!), will serve as Costume and Production Designer and executive producer. Paul Watters (Australia); Thomas Kelly (Copper); Stephen Adley Guirgis (Motherf***er With The Hat); Shawn Ryan (The Shield, Terriers); and Marney Hochman (Terriers), will also serve as executive producers.

"From his very first and magnificently original steps on the world stage with Strictly Ballroom to his most recent with The Great Gatsby, Baz conjures worlds we may not recognize initially, but once there, realize they are infused with the same dreams of every person - to belong, to matter, to live life to its fullest.  We are thrilled to support Baz, Catherine and Paul and their team in their quest to illuminate those same dreams through the artists who came of age in the cauldron of the Bronx in the late 1970s," said Cindy Holland, vice president of original content for Netflix.

"In this golden era of TV, the Netflix culture puts no constraint on creative possibilities. So it is a natural home for The Get Down, a project I have been contemplating and working on now for over 10 years. Throughout, I've been obsessed with the idea of how a city in its lowest moment, forgotten and half destroyed could give birth to such creativity and originality in music, art and culture. I'm thrilled to be working with my partners at Sony and collaborating with a team of extraordinary writers and musicians, many of whom grew up with and lived the story we've set out to tell," said Baz Luhrmann.
"Baz is an artist in the truest sense, whose talent and vision resonate across mediums.  There is no better filmmaker and storyteller to draw us into this world of the forgotten and oppressed residents of the Bronx who rose up and fought back to create and define culture and music for decades to come," said Zack Van Amburg and Jamie Erlicht, presidents of programming and production for Sony Pictures Television.
