Jane Lynch SHould of played Agent 99 in the Get Smart Movie


The whole time I saw Anne Hathaway I kept thinking over & over again was they should of hired "Jane Lynch" to play Agent 99. Jane Lynch might not be a name you know however she has one of those faces you recognize.

She is best known for being in the movies "The 40-year Old Virgin" & "Talladega Nights". If you have seen those movies you would know that her services were needed in "Get Smart".

GET SMART ** out of **** Stars REVIEW BY STAN HECK


I have only watched a few episodes of the TV Show "Get Smart". I went into the movie of "Get Smart" without any preconceived notions. Well I will say after leaving the movie I could only think one think. "MISCASTING". I think the studio only cast Anne Hathaway to get girls to see this movie. Anne just does a good job but not great. She however has no chemistry with her leading man which of course is Steve Carell.



The story is minimal at best. The plot twist you can see coming. The laughs are there but in general the movie is not worth remembering. I just left the movie only a few hours ago and I am having a hard time remembering most of the movie.



I would also like to point out that this movie seems to have allot of things cut out. Also If you pay close attention you can tell some scenes in the movie were changed around.



I am sure Warner Brothers was hoping this would become another Franchise however if they do order up a sequel I would recast Anne Hathaway.

Wall-E and Johnny 5 From Short Circuit Look a Like



Could Pixar be facing a lawsuit soon. I have the feeling that they will. You see the 1986 Tri-Star movie called "Short Circuit" has something in common with the 2008 movie "Wall-E". You see the robots look almost the same!

Even though "Wall-E" is cute he is still no "Johnny 5" from Short Circuit.

The top photo is from "Short Circuit" The bottom is "Wall-E"

Save a life a be a hero adopt a cat


I have 6 cats. It just happened. However how many do you have. I bet chances are you have room in your life for one or even , one more. I beg all of you to go to an animal shelter and save a cat. My cats ( & 2 dogs) keep me active however the 6 cats are not that much work. I enjoy them.



Now all of my cats were saved from City Pounds. I look at them everyday and I get sad to think that there were all doomed if I didn't get them!



Being a guardian to cat is well worth it. If you never had a cat before please get one. You will see what I am talking about. Cats are not that much work and trust me when you save a cat from the pound the cat does somehow know and they become very loyal to you!

THE SMALL ONE DISNEY CHRISTMAS CLASSIC ON DVD


Christmas is around the corner. If I were you I would buy right now a DVD of he classic cartoon made by Disney called "The Small One". Its a very good Christmas Time Cartoon! Its not available by itself however its on a DISNEY CHRISTMAS THEME DVD along with a few more Disney Cartoons. The Official Name of the Disney DVD is Called "Walt Disney's Classic Cartoon Favorites, Vol. 9 - Classic Holiday Stories (The Small One/Pluto's Christmas Tree/Mickey's Christmas Carol)". An Image of The DVD is provided!



The reason why I am saying buy it now is because the DVD is rumored to be going out of print. Right Now you can get the DVD on Amazon New at $10.00. A Rumored 30th Anniversary Edition is rumored to be released this year as a stand alone edition at $19.95. Now a stand alone means you would only get this Cartoon on the DVD. So buy now and save $10.00. Save even more if you buy a used one! "The Small One" is a story you will never forget! Its well worth buying.

When is the Musical Remake of Sunset Blvd Coming


With Patti Lupone winning the Tony Award the other night it got me to think of "Sunset Blvd". The musical version of the 1950 Billy Wilder film. Its been rumored that "Meryl Streep" , "Glenn Close" and yes Barbra Streisand are all circling the movie hoping to get the plume role. It also been rumored the "Cher" "Bette Middler" & Liza Minnelli" are in the running as well.



Well I still think Patti Lupone should play the role. She can sing. Its a musical after all and not a drama. I know that Patti was fired from playing Norma Desmond. However she was never given a chance to do the revised book.



I think she is amazing and Andrew Lloyd Webber doesn't cast her in the movie then he should do a revival of the play and let her do the role on Broadway. If he did that would make headlines and sell tickets. And yes Patti would win another Tony!

Now there a chance for Ghostbusters 3 III


Last year 20th. Century fox released a sequel to the 1988 motion picture "Die Hard". This was Lots of people including thought it would bomb because it was released 12 years after the last "Die Hard Movie" In fact the last movie in the franchise was released in 1995.



Now this year Paramount released "Indiana Jones 4". This was 19 years after the last one was made. In fact "Indiana Jones 4" looks likely to be the highest grossing movie of the Summer.



Also worth noting the George Lucas released "Star Wars- The Phantom Menace" 16 years after he made "Return of the Jedi". Now In all 3 cases the movies went on to be Box Office Blockbusters.



This brings into question about other possible movies Hollywood can make sequels too. Even though it may have been 10 years or more since the last movie of a franchise was made.




Paramount could be or should be thinking about sequels to: "Grease", "Saturday Night Fever","The Hunt For Red October", "Beverly Hills Cop" "The Godfather".


20th Century Fox could be or should be thinking about sequels to: "Independence Day" "Alien","Big", "The X Files", "Predator" "Home Alone"


Universal Studios: could be or should be thinking about sequels to: "Jurassic Park", "Jaws", "Back to the Future",


Warner Brothers could be or should be thinking about sequels to: "The Goonies", "Gremlins"



Disney could be or should be thinking about sequels to: "Pretty Woman" "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" "Ransom" "Scream"


AND Columbia is most likely trying to revive "Ghostbusters".



All these movies do have a loyal fan base. The old saying of "after 3 years its too late for a sequel " no longer applies. SO I am sure the studios are already thinking about some these movie sequels. So You can blame "Indiana Jones" or thank him. That's up to you!
