Most parents think their child holds all the potential in the world to become the next big child star like, Gary Coleman or Raven Symone. For this reason many parents easily fall victim to scam artists that claim to be legitimate acting or modeling agencies. If you don’t know how the scenario goes here it is: a company runs an ad claiming to be looking for talented children for commercials, television shows, movies and print ads, then you arrange a meeting at a hotel or some rented out office space so they can “evaluate” your child. Who can blame a parent for think that their child has the chance to grace the covers of magazines, be a movie star or a national commercial star.
After these “acting and modeling agency” scouts lure you in with their persuasive ads, they have you come to a hotel where they have you sit and listen to someone talk about the fame and fortune your child can get from acting and modeling, they’re just getting you excited when they do this. They sound even more legitimate when during the hotel meeting, they weave some children out for not having what it takes and deciding to keep your child, bringing your hopes even higher for your child. Once they tell you that your child was kept for having “what it takes” they then ask you for an “investment” for your child to go further. Most of these scam agencies ask you to pay multiple fees, the most common “fees” they ask you to pay is for a session with “top talent agencies from Los Angeles and New York City”.
Just when it seems like this is your child’s big break you head to the meeting to find nobody there and just when you call the scam artist “talent agents” back about the situation, their contact details are useless and you’ve just put your self in debt between the $3,000 $4,500 range. Now don’t get me wrong here, these so called acting and modeling agencies do provide acting and modeling “lessons” but they do not guarantee your child any acting or modeling jobs, at least 99% of the time. So if you fall for these scams, you will more than likely not be able to get your money back because they will tell you that they didn’t guarantee your child any work.
A new way that modeling scouts try to get your money is by going out and finding your child at local shopping malls and other public locations. They approach you and tell you how good your child looks and how they could possibly be a big star, then they give you a card and a short monologue for your child to go home and practice before they visit the “agency”.
The common question that is asked is how to spot these scam artists who claim to be acting and modeling agents, it’s quite simple when you call the “agency” or when you’re approached by a “scout” ask them for their credentials, ask them to list some of their clients and possibly give you their contact information for verification. Most likely if you know how to spot a scam when you see one, you won’t have to worry about being ripped off by these guys.

Below courtesy of WeinsteinCo. are a batch of new images from Scary Movie 4, which stars Anna Faris, Shaun Landers, Shaquille O’Neal, Regina Hall, Phil Mcgraw, Leslie Nielsen, Carmen Electra, Simon Rex, Michael Madsen, and Craig Bierko. In this fourth installment of the popular “Scary Movie” series, recent horror and sci-fi movies such as “Saw 2″, “The Grudge”, “War of the Worlds”, and “The Village” will be spoofed. “Scary Movie 4″ arrives in theaters on April 14th.
Madsen was recently added to the cast and told Latino Review that he’s not at liberty to discuss what character he will be playing due to him signing a “hush hush” confidentiality clause.
To say that “Scary Movie 3″ was a success would be an understatement. The film made on a budget of 45 million dollars raked in 48 million in it’s opening weekend. By the time it had left theaters, it had taken in 110 million plus. That’s not counting what it did in dvd sales and rentals. A special edition dvd entitled “Scary Movie 3.5″ was recently released and that made a pretty chunk of change itself. The Weinstein’s are hoping
“Scary Movie 4″ will be as huge of a hit when it hits theaters this spring.

Nominated for 17 Emmys in its short four-year run, Soap premiered in the Fall of 1977 as one of the most controversial shows in American television history (and all before a single episode ever aired). The show was opposed by many groups who thought its subject matter would be too mature for a prime-time audience. But Soap never overstepped its bounds, and the show became an instant smash hit with its brilliant and satirical spoofs of classic daytime programming. Sporting an all-star cast and talented producers, the show spawned successful spin-off Benson in 1979, a series that launched Robert Guillaume’s career to a whole new level…
Set in suburban Connecticut, Soap follows the lives of two sisters - Jessica Tate (Katherine Helmond), a wealthy yet dim elitist, and Mary Campbell (Cathryn Damon), a housewife in a more traditional blue-collar atmosphere. But regardless of their social station in life, neither woman manages to escape the scandal and intrigue surrounding a typical soap opera family. Jessica’s daughter Corrine (Diana Canova) is smitten with a priest, yet they are both having an affair with the same tennis pro. Meanwhile, Jessica and her husband Chester (Robert Mandan) incessantly cheat on one another. As for the other side of the family, Mary’s husband Burt (Richard Mulligan) is certifiably insane, her son Danny (Ted Wass) is a mobster, stepson Jodie (Billy Crystal) is an out-of-the-closet homosexual, and all of them are caught up in a family filled with promiscuous infidelities and quite possibly murder! Throw in the insubordinate and sarcastic Tate butler Benson (Guillaume), and Soap holds its own as one of the funniest sitcoms in TV history…
The Soap (Season 2) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere in which Jodie and Carol move in together, and Carol learns that she’s pregnant with Jodie’s baby. Meanwhile, Father Tim and Corrine announce their wedding, and Chester goes to prison when he confesses to killing Peter, following Jessica’s conviction… Other notable episodes from Season 2 include Episode 32 in which Carol’s father strenuously objects to his daughter’s impending marriage to Jodie, and Episode 47 in which the two families work together to perform an exorcism on Corrine’s baby while Burt is apparently abducted by aliens…
Below is a list of episodes included on the Soap (Season 2) DVD:

The very first movie I took my oldest son to was George of the Jungle. I think he was about 4 at the time.
He was pretty amazed with the large stadium style theater. Just before the lights went out, he gave me a golden moment that I will treasure always when he looked up at me and said:
“Daddy, I like being with you.”
7 years later
These memories came to me today as my oldest son and I sat in the exact same theater waiting for King Kong to begin. Before the movie started I told him the story of what he had said seven years earlier.
I knew going in that the Kong on the screen was computer animation. Even knowing that, this Kong looked so real, so life like.
Remember how real the dinosaurs looked in the Jurassic Park series? These dinos make those look like guys in a dino suit.
Many times when you see a fight or battle in a preview, you worry that you have seen all the good parts. Not so here. The battle between Kong and the T-Rex that you see in the preview lasts for at least ten minutes in the movie.
At the end of this and several scenes, you can hear the audience take a collective breath.
Picture the attention to detail of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy combined with the intensity of the first Jurassic Park.
At the end of the time on Skull Island, I found myself thinking that we have gotten to see all this and they have not even arrived in New York yet.
Even thought you know how it is going to end, it is still a great ride.
Rating: 5 out of 5 ticket stubs.
Toward the end of the movie, my 11 year old son grabs my arm, curls up next to me and says:
“Daddy, I like being with you.”

Nominated for 7 Golden Globes and 6 Emmys, including Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, Just Shoot Me is among the top cutting-edge situation comedies of the late-1990s and early-2000s. The NBC original series is the brainchild of talented creator Steven Levitan, writer for such celebrated TV shows as Wings (1990), The Larry Sanders Show (1992), and Frasier (1993) - among others. Featuring a multitalented cast with a dearth of experience in the world of show business, Just Shoot Me is one of the funniest and best-written sitcoms of its time…
Just Shoot Me follows the exploits of an eccentric staff of professionals working in the New York offices of the fictional “Blush” magazine (similar to “Cosmo” in real life). The series begins when Maya Gallo (Laura San Giacomo), the only child of Blush magazine owner and editor Jack Gallo (George Segal), gets fired from her job as a serious journalist and picks up as a writer for Blush magazine. Aiming to make the magazine more “cerebral,” Maya is constantly butting heads with her by-the-numbers, give-the-masses-what-they-want father. Maya must also face the incessant sarcasm of Jack’s personal assistant Dennis Finch (David Spade), the constant advances of womanizing photographer Elliott DiMauro (Enrico Colantoni), and the veracious neuroses of ex-model, turned fashion editor Nina Van Horn (Wendie Malick). Together, the strange amalgam of dysfunctional characters forms a charming, witty, and often hilarious setting in which to set the world of fashion on fire…
The Just Shoot Me DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the series premiere “Back Issues” in which a recently unemployed, broke, and quite desperate Maya Gallo seeks employment from the person and company she’d least like to work for - her father at Blush magazine. Now, Maya must not only contend with her estranged father, but with numerous fellow employees who fear that her presence will diminish their own influence and prospects for advancement within the company… Other notable episodes from Seasons 1 & 2 include “Lemon Wacky Hello” in which Jack returns from China with an exotic candy for everyone in the office to try, but they realize much too late that the candy is laced with a hallucinogenic drug, and “The Kiss” in which a harmless kiss, prompted by their pretending to be married, leads to bigger things for Maya and Elliott’s relationship…

Nominated for 2 Emmys, including Best Casting for a Series, Oz is widely regarded as one of the best prison dramas ever created. The brainchild of creator Tom Fontana (former writer on such hit TV shows as Homicide: Life On The Streets and St. Elsewhere), Oz was one of a number of a highly successful HBO original series to premiere in the 1990s, keeping good company among such shows as Sex And The City and The Sopranos. Premiering in mid-summer 1997, Oz quickly built a large and loyal following of viewers hypnotized by the series’ vivid depiction of non-holds-barred prison life. After six critically acclaimed seasons, Oz was cancelled in early 2003, but lives on via DVD…
Oz is the street name for the Oswald State Penitentary, a rough and hardened prison where survival of the fittest is the prevailing law. But the focus of Oz is Level 5, an experimental cell block deemed “Emerald City” that’s managed by Unit Administrator Tim McManus (Terry Kinney) and the hard-nosed Warden Leo Glynn (Ernie Hudson). One of the prisoners, wheelchair-bound convicted murder Augustus Hill (Harold Perrineau Jr. of Lost) narrates for the viewer, tying together the various storylines that play out within the prison. In an atmosphere of well-governed anarchy, prisoners come and go (some paroled; some murdered), prison guards uphold their duty (while some are corrupt), and various groups (such as Muslims, Aryans, Latinos, Italians, gangstas, gays, etc.) compete for power over each other and over the prevalent drug trade rampant within the walls of Oz. Tobias “Toby” Beecher (Lee Tergesen) plays the “everyday man,” having been convicted for manslaughter while driving drunk, and his character’s experiences force the viewer to place himself in the shoes of the inmate. Other notable characters include Prisoner Miguel Alvarez (Kirk Acevedo), Prisoner Bob Rebadow (George Morfogen), Prisoner Vernon Schillinger (J.K. Simmons), Prisoner Kareem Said (Eamonn Walker), Prisoner Tony Masters (Steven Wishnoff), Officer Diane Whittlesey (Edie Falco of The Sopranos), and Father Ray Mukada (B.D. Wong of Law & Order: SVU). Together, they form a solid cast that makes Oz one of the best original cable dramas ever produced…
The Oz (Season 5) DVD features a number of dramatic episodes including the season premiere “Visitation” in which several months have passed since the Emerald City kitchen gas explosion. The facilities are in working order, but several prisoners are released from solitary confinement due to ventilation problems. Meanwhile, Tim realizes that he his unable to verbally communicate because his vocal chords were burned by the explosion and his body is badly burned all over… Other notable episodes from Season 5 include “Wheel of Fortune” in which Officer Brass steals Rebadow’s two million dollar winning lottery ticket, and “Variety” in which the inmates put on a variety show while Timmy Kirk trades a sexual favor in order to get Father Mukada’s church torched, resulting in the death of two priests…
Below is a list of episodes included on the Oz (Season 5) DVD:
Episode 41 (Visitation) Air Date: 01-06-2002
Episode 42 (Laws of Gravity) Air Date: 01-13-2002
Episode 43 (Dream a Little Dream of Me) Air Date: 01-20-2002
Episode 44 (Next Stop: Valhalla) Air Date: 01-27-2002
Episode 45 (Wheel of Fortune) Air Date: 02-03-2002
Episode 46 (Variety) Air Date: 02-10-2002
Episode 47 (Good Intentions) Air Date: 02-17-2002
Episode 48 (Impotence) Air Date: 02-24-2002

A splashy movie for teen girls,Aquamarine, tackles the age-old dilemma of “he’s so cute, but how can I get him to notice me?” The fun begins when a mermaid (Sara Paxton) washes up on shore and befriends Claire and Hailey(Emma Roberts & Joanna Levesque.) Aquamarine is a walking and talking blonde by day, but sprouts a tail and fins by night. In bizarre twist of fate, Aquamarine must prove that “true love” exists. Evidently, Aquamarine’s father is planning an arranged marriageand the only way to get out of it is to find someone to say, “I love you.”
When it comes to romance, Aquamarine is a fish out of water. She has a crush on the lifeguard, Raymond (Jake McDorman) but doesn’t know how to get his attention. Out of desperation, Aquamarine promises to grant a wish to both girls if they help her experience true love. Comic complications abound when a rival girl discovers Aquamarine’s true identity, and sets out to expose her. Bottom line: Aquamarine is a sweet, spunky and wholesome movie that will capture any teen’s attention: hook, line and sinker!
The Shaggy Dog is about a lawyer (Tim Allen) who discovers his client is doing cruel and unethical experiments on animals in hopes of developing an anti-aging serum. The fun begins when the lawyer is bitten by one of the tortured lab animals. Suddenly, the man transforms into a sheep dog.. Yep,
it’s extremely funny. Tim Allen is covered with hair, sprouts a tail, and experiences a dog’s heightened awareness with acute hearing and smell. Ultimately, Allen uses his canine intuition to unravel the hidden conspiracy of animal testing, as he sinks his teeth into issues he previously ignored.
There’s a funny scene in the elevator where he is sniffed you-know-where by
another dog. Being down on all fours also forces Allen to come to grips with his shortcomings. The poor guy is a workaholic, and isn’t connecting with his wife (Kristin Davis) and children (Zena Grey and Spencer Breslin.)
Bottom line: “Shaggy Dog” is a fun family movie. Adults will enjoy the empathetic moments that are mixed in with the silliness. (Isn’t it refreshing when a high-powered attorney admits he is wrong, and now sees things from a new perspective?) Kids will enjoy the movie’s silliness, and probably not take it too seriously. Talk about zany the rescued lab animals include
a cobra with a dog’s tail, a circus monkey, and a frog that barks. Anyone for a game of fetch?

Is it me or are we seeing more and more former celebrities and celebrities on the C or D list on television nowadays? Practically anywhere you look on television you can find former stars trying to make a comeback.
Do you like heavy metal musicians from the 70’s and 80’s? Check out Gene Simmons from KISS on VH1, Tommy Lee (the drummer from Motley Crue) going to college on NBC, or the lead singer from Warrant on Celebrity Fit Club. Like hip-hop? Bobby Brown has his own show on Bravo. Boy bands more your thing? Joey McIntyre danced up a storm on Dancing with the Stars.
How about aging sports stars? Jose Canseco is one of the housemates on The Surreal Life 5, and we all got to see Evander Holyfield strut his stuff on ABC this summer. Hulk Hogan has his own show on VH1.
We also have the opportunity to see television stars from previous decades - remember Balki on Perfect Strangers? He’s also one of the roommates on The Surreal Life 5. Willie Aames from Charles in Charge and Eight is Enough is on Celebrity Fit Club. Who didn’t love John O’Hurley (of Seinfeld fame) on Dancing with the Stars?
Comediennes also have a place on reality television. Victoria Jackson was great on Saturday Night Live - now she’s trying to lose weight on Celebrity Fit Club. Kathy Griffin has her own show on Bravo titled, interestingly enough, My Life on the D List.
Reality television is even going so far to have the children of rich and famous people star in their shows. E! has a show called Filthy Rich Cattle Drive, where the children of the rich and famous have to rough it on a ranch.
I don’t know about you, but my favorite reality shows are ones where the stars are real people. I think it’s great to see someone considered a regular person (or average) succeed with a record contract or with a large cash prize. It’s sometimes hard to route for the rich and famous - I’d rather see the poor and unknown person succeed on reality tv.

Why on Earth would anybody review The Wizard Of Oz? The film is probably one of the most popular movies of all time, it’s so well known that most people can give you the dialogue word for word and it’s been either remade or parodied as much, if not more than any other movie ever made. So what could possibly be left to say about this classic?
Actually, quite a lot.
For starters, very few people know that when the movie was first released, it was not a commercial success. The movie only made about $3 million dollars. Even in 1939, this was not a lot of money by any stretch of the imagination. So to say Oz was an instant hit would be the farthest thing from the truth.
Then there is the strange popularity that this film brought to only one of its stars. Even though all of the featured actors and actresses in the movie, which included Judy Garland, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Ray Bolger, Margaret Hamilton, Frank Morgan, Billie Burke, Charley Grapewin and Clara Blandick, had successful careers even before Oz, only Judy Garland became known mostly for this movie and this movie alone. That was the great impression that she made. It was like she had never done anything before or since, in spite of the fact that she was only a young child at the time. He adult years almost faded into obscurity.
The movie, which was adapted from the book of the same name, was actually made into movies many times before the 1939 version which became the most famous. There was The Wizard Of Oz from 1908, The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz from 1910, three more titles in 1914, another Wizard Of Oz in 1921 and yet another one in 1925 which stared Oliver Hardy of the comic team Laurel and Hardy, in the role of the Tin Woodsman. None of these other movies are even seen anymore. And there were many more, too many to list here. None were as good as the 1939 version or shown as much.
The Wizard Of Oz was not without its problems. There was the near fatal burning of Margaret Hamilton, who played the wicked witch of the West. Fortunately she was still able to complete the movie. Another problem was that they couldn’t seem to keep a director for the filming of this movie. A total of four directors were used, including Victor Flemming who was literally stolen by David Selznick to direct “Gone With The Wind”. Then of course there was the recasting of the Tin Man. Buddy Ebsen was originally cast in the part but had to quit because he was allergic to the Tin Man costume. He was replaced by Jack Haley. Ray Bolger who was originally cast as the Tin Man, changed his mind and decided instead that he wanted to play the cowardly lion.
These problems were only the tip of the iceberg in a production that almost never got off the ground and yet the 1939 version of The Wizard Of Oz turned out to be the most beloved movie of all time. Who would have ever thought it possible?

Nominated for 30 Emmys, including seven for Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series, Star Trek: Voyager continues the rich tradition of the original 1960s Star Trek franchise. Created by former L.A. police officer Gene Roddenberry, the Star Trek TV series morphed into a franchise famous for the unprecedented fanatical devotion of its fan base. Lasting only three seasons during its original network run, Star Trek struck gold with its syndicated reruns, launching a number of motion pictures featuring the original cast as well as novels, comic books, collectibles, and reams of Star Trek-related memorabilia. The third spin-off from the original Star Trek series, Star Trek: Voyager premiered in January 1995 to modest critical acclaim, but experienced great success with television viewers, slowly increasing its ratings as the series progressed. Following on the heels of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993), the series precedes Star Trek: Enterprise (2001) while boasting an all-star cast that includes veteran actress Kate Mulgrew (whose past TV appearances include such shows as Dallas, Cheers, and Murphy Brown). Yet instead of pursuing the classic Star Trek mission to “boldly go where no one has gone before,” Star Trek: Voyager is more about going where the crew has been before…
Star Trek: Voyager follows the exploits of the crew aboard the starship USS Voyager. As the series begins, the Voyager is on a Federation mission to capture a rogue ship of Maquis rebels (a race first introduced in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine). While in pursuit of the Maquis, the Voyager enters a system known as the badlands, and both ships are instantaneously transported to the Delta Quadrant over seventy-thousand light years away on the outskirts of the galaxy. Soon, both the Maquis and the crew of Voyager learn they were brought to Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker, a mysterious force overseeing the safety of the Ocampan race who live in the shadow on an impending threat from the vicious Kazon. When the Kazon destroy the Maquis ship, the Voyager crew merges with the Maquis crew to defend themselves from the Kazon. Having destroyed the device which could bring them home, the crew of the Voyager - led by Capt. Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), and the crew of the Maquis ship - led by Commander Chakotay (Robert Beltran), must work as a united front in order to meet their mutual goal of finding a way home…
The Star Trek: Voyager (Season 6) DVD features a number of exciting episodes including the season premiere “Equinox” in which the crew of the Voyager is charged with devising a solution to rescue Capt. Janeway and Seven Of Nine before it’s too late… Other notable episodes from Season 6 include “The Voyager Conspiracy” in which a malfunctioning Seven Of Nine starts spouting rumors of mutiny when the Voyager encounters an alien race in possession of warp technology capable of bringing the Voyager back home, and “Good Shepard” in which Capt. Janeway takes three of her crew members on a special training mission that goes awry when a collision with a comet threatens their very lives…
