Growing up in Millinocket, the Donn Fendler story was one that we all heard, knew and were amazed by! Donn would often return to Millinocket talking to local school children, and when he spoke of his ordeal back in 1939, everyone listened to this folk hero! Now, 73 years later, the story of Donn Fendler's struggle to survive is being made into a movie, and for those of us from the Katahdin Region...heck all of us from Maine, this will be a must see movie!

She's a superstar! But deep down, she's just a regular young woman who will flip out over her idols. When "Hunger Games" star Jennifer Lawrence was at Comic-con in San Diego over the weekend, she accidentally photo-bombed Jeff Bridges, as he was giving an interview. The result is hilarious! And really adorable.

"I probably should get up and dance but I'm used to having a partner doesn't seem to matter to that fella maybe I'll give it a shot. Maybe not. Maybe I will." Yes, that was one long run-on drunken sentence from Morgan Freeman's character in the new movie "Last Vegas." I can't wait to see THIS!

It's very hard to fathom just how horrifying the plot of this movie would be to experience. Imagine you're an educated, free man in the early 1800's who suddenly gets thrown into slavery and sold to a southern plantation owner. Chilling!

"How to Train Your Dragon" is, in my opinion, one of the very best animated movies ever. Jim and I watched it over and over when it first came out, and watched it again on Sunday. Every time I see that movie, I love it more and more. So imagine my excitement today when I realized that Dreamworks has made a sequel! I can't wait for "How to Train Your Dragon 2!!"

I loved 'Rango,' the last time Johnny Depp and Gore Verbinski offered up a madcap spin on the Western. I basically enjoyed 'John Carter,' last year's Western-infused would-be space epic, which, not coincidentally, was the last time Walt Disney stock holders had to reach for a shaker of Tums.

However, 'The Lone Ranger,' this new spazzed-out Western from Depp, Verbinski and Disney, takes unusual and unlikely measures to ensure that audiences have a miserable time. There are momentary flashes of amusement, but it is jumbled, tone-deaf and uninteresting. If I wanted to be kind I'd call it dull and ephemeral, but there are long stretches that seem to strive to be annoying - almost anti-entertainment. The only thing 'The Lone Ranger' has going for it is a long life as to go-to description how not to make a blockbusters movie - this generation's 'Last Action Hero.'

Disney has released a new TV spot for 'The Lone Ranger,' in keeping with the film's July 3 release date. But there isn't much -- if any -- new footage to be seen in this commercial. We get a peek at the familiar train sequence again, whic

As difficult as saving the world can be, Superman never had to worry about anyone rubbing his bumper at 200 mph.

I know I'm a little behind on this one. Disney's "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" came out last year, but Jim and I just sat down last night and watched it. And fell in love with it. If you haven't seen this magical look at life, do it today!
