Audience Gets a "kick" out of Doris
Doris's "turn" in Aliens in the Attic has this reviewer doing a double take.
Did Doris Roberts Just Do A Shoryuken?
Earlier tonight I went and saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. But even though I enjoyed my time watching the movie, something else caught my eye. What you ask? Doris freakin’ Roberts doing a shoryuken, that’s what.
In the trailer for the upcoming kids flick “Aliens in the Attic”, the elderly actress does in fact mess up a dude’s face with a perfectly placed shoryuken. See for yourself and be prepare to be amazed. (At about the 1:20 mark).

Pierce Visits President Obama
This Washington Times article is a little tacky. Is the reporter claiming Pierce is anything less
than enigmatic? Or that his visit to the West Wing is baffling?
His one word answer is to the point. There is no mystery. And if the reporter knew his stuff, he'd realize that in addition to being the former James Bond, Pierce is an environmentalist. He dedicated the Malibu Whale Watch to his former wife, Cassie. They shared a love of whales, a love also shared by Keely Shaye Smith, his wife and the mother of his two young sons.
Remington Steele may indeed be a man of mystery. Pierce, however, is a man of his word and dedicated to saving our planet.
By the way, while this picture of him is one of my favorites, it's unappropriate for this article.

Pierce Urges Fans to Support Red Cross, Roots and Shoots and Humane Society
Brosnan Asks For Holiday Charity Donations
by Tim Saunders
Actor Pierce Brosnan has wished his fans a Merry Christmas on his official blog and has asked a special Holiday favor.
“In the spirit of giving this holiday season please consider making a small contribution to those in need,“ he wrote. “The following organizations were on our holiday gift giving list: the Jane Goodall Institute, Roots & Shoots, American Red Cross, Kauai Humane Society.
“These funds will be used to sponsor environmental education and youth based humanitarian programs, provide clean, safe drinking water to a developing nation by distributing thousands of portable water purifiers, offer relief services for the victims of the Southern California Wildfires, and care for numerous stray animals while also supporting the spay and neuter shelter program on the island of Kauai.“
Brosnan and his wife Keely Shaye are committed environmentalists, with interests that include clean air and water campaigns, marine mammal and wetland protection, and opposing environmentally disruptive projects such as the Cabrillo Port Liquefied Natural Gas facility being proposed off the coast of Malibu. In 1997 he was awarded the Environmental Leadership Award by Green Cross International. He is also a member of Oceana’s Ocean Council.
“Holiday Blessings from my home to yours and every good wish for the coming year ahead,“ he wrote. “May the spirit of the season fill you with love, joy and peace.“

Back the Birds, Not Bond
Is it a propos that my first blog post is about Bond? November, 2006 found me doing a happy dance when the Happy Feet penguins gave the new Bond the bird here in the U.S., (no pun intended), with Mumble beating Daniel Craig to a pulp at the box office. That’s hard to fathom, since in various Bond circles I’m known as “Miss Moneypenny,” Bond fan extraordinaire.
You should know I’ve been a Bond fan since Sean Connery first spotted Ursula Andress coming out of the surf. In addition to the divine Miss Moneypenny, I love the one-liners, the gadgets and most of all Q. My Bond is tall, DARK-haired and HANDSOME. I don’t like my Bond “gritty,” whatever that means, he doesn’t have a “craggy face,” nor do I think he needs to morph into Jason Bourne, no matter what the critics say.
It is true I’ll always be a Pierce Brosnan fan. Unfortunately, I also used to be a Bond fan. When I went to the GoldenEye world premiere in ‘95 and Die Another Day in 2002, I had no clue they would literally be my first and last.
Even beyond the fact that Pierce is no longer in the role, the Bond I knew and loved, the character who came to life in pages written by Ian Fleming, and again on the silver screen is gone. Let me be clear: I liked the campy villains — Odd Job with this steel-rimmed bowler, Blofeld and his white cat; the metal-mouthed Jaws; Xenia's deadly thighs. I liked the gadgets, the car phone that was light-years ahead of its time, the jet back-pack and yes, even the invisible car. And I liked each and every Bond, including George Lazenby...until now.
I resent critics telling me the time and money I’ve spent watching and collecting the series over 40 years means nothing. For all the reviewers who claim I should have stopped watching Bond after Dr. No and suggest I have no taste because wasn’t appalled by Moore and Dalton’s portrayals, I say “who are you to tell me what I should want from a Bond movie?”
What’s wrong with this new Bond? Other than the fact that his name isn’t Pierce Brosnan, I find the PR hype surrounding Daniel Craig and the film, Casino Royale that came from Danjaq/EON last fall to be pretty acrimonious (and inaccurate). Those of us who have been Bond fans from the onset virtually seem to be told by EON to “take this Bond or shove it.” How ungrateful.
Well I’m shoved back, launching a viral Back the Birds not Bond campaign. Apparently many believed as I did — that over the weekend of November 17, if you want to see the cutest thing in a tux, back the Birds, not Bond.
Yes, it's true. Mumble is the word. The U.S. box as reflected below tells the story. Bird backers made their voices heard.
Don’t get me wrong. I wasn’t one of the online Daniel Craig bashers. But the anti-Pierce viciousness that surfaced through EONs PR counter-campaign left me sad and appalled. I had enough.
JUST THE FACTS, M’AM
EON smear campaign aside, according to Boxoffice mojo, the November, 2006 Bond opening weekend was the least attended pre-Thanksgiving frame in eight years. It lagged 19 percent behind 2005, when Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire debuted to a $102.7 million take.
Brandon Gray in his article “Penguins Tip-Tap Past Bond,” writes: “Casino Royale sold roughly as many tickets as Brosnan’s first, GoldenEye, did at 2,667 theaters on the same weekend in 1995. GoldenEye, though, had more of an uphill battle, coming six years after the franchise fizzled with License to Kill.
And how. When you think about it Pierce’s previous Bond films went up against heavy hitters…Tomorrow Never Dies went toe-to-toe with the film behemoth, Titanic. Die Another Day opened one week after Harry Potter, Chamber of Secrets and continued to hold its own at the box office after Analyze That opened two weeks later.
In fact, at 47 million, Die Another Day still has the 10th largest November box office opening, followed by Happy Feet with 41 million. Casino Royale isn’t even in the top ten. So much for a franchise that needed a reboot.
The article below still ranks as one of my favorites. Way to go, Mumble!
Penguins Ice Bond
by Bridget Byrne, E! Online
Mon, 20 Nov 2006 01:44:01 PM PST
Goldfinger, Blofeld, Dr. No and Jaws—a bunch of pansies compared to Mumble. Yes, after four decades of ridding the world of megalomaniacs and their henchmen, James Bond finally met his match in a tap-happy penguin.
In a tight race for the weekend box-office crown, Happy Feet danced in with $41.5 million to outgun Casino Royale. The first outing for new spy guy Daniel Craig finished with $40.8 million, per final studio figures Monday.
"It was always going to be a close one to call," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of the ticket-tallying Exhibitor Relations. "Both films, though very different, had very strong audience awareness and interest,…both were very well reviewed,...both studios did everything right with the marketing and both were great projects."
Dergarabedian says the two movies were in a close battle all weekend. The 007 film got off to a fast start and had the edge on Friday, but with families flocking to multiplexes over the weekend, Mumble won by a beak.
Warner Bros.' PG-rated Happy Feet features the voice of Elijah Wood as Mumble, a woolly little Emperor penguin who can't sing like the rest of his pals in the colony but discovers he can make like Fred Astaire (or Emmitt Smith) on the dancefloor. Directed by George Miller (of Babe fame), the CGI 'toon iced an $10,918 per screen average at 3,804 locations.
Casino Royale, officially the 21st movie in the franchise, turned to Ian Fleming's first 007 novel and a new leading man to reinvigorate the series. The PG-13 Sony release, in which we learn how Bond earned his license to kill, registered a slightly higher average ($11,891) at slightly fewer sites (3,413). Directed by Martin Campbell, the film features Eva Green as the chief beauty and Mads Mikkelsen as the chief baddie and returns Judi Dench as Bond boss M.
The new Bond finish behind the last installment, the Pierce Brosnan-powered Die Another Day, which opened in November 2002 with a franchise record $47 million on its way to $106.9 million domestically.
Both Happy Feet and Casino Royale are expected to hold up through the Thanksgiving weekend.
Meanwhile, Borat continued to make big success in America. The mockumentary slipped to third place, dropping just 48 percent from last weekend's top slot to pocket $14.6 million. The film has totaled $90.5 million and is on track to surpass the $100 million mark in the next few days, because, as a studio rep says, "Everyone wants to see what the hoopla is about."
Also in its third week The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause dropped 51 percent from second to fourth place with $8.3 million, bringing the G-rated Disney sequel gross to $51.7 million.
Flushed Away, another film in its third go-round, continued to underachieve for DreamWorks and Paramount. The British-produced rodent 'toon fell 60 percent from third to sixth place with $6.6 million over the weekend. Its total stands at $48.6 million; last week, DreamWorks Animation stock took a hit when the studio announced it was going to lose major money on the film.
Freestyle Releasing earned a collective $2.3 million from 8 Films to Die For–Horrorfest, enough to rank 10th for the weekend (with a $4,735 average at 488 sites), just ahead of Bob Odenkirk's deadpan lock-up comedy Let's Go to Prison. The latter, an R-rated Universal release starring Dax Shepard, Will Arnett and Dylan Baker, locked up $2.1 million, incarcerating a mere $1,410 per screen at 1,495 sites.
New in limited release, Bobby was the clear winner, averaging $34,520 at two sites for a total of $69,039. Directed by Emilio Estevez, the R-rated MGM release explores the day of Robert F. Kennedy's assassination at Los Angeles' Ambassador Hotel from several fictional characters, played by an all-star cast that includes Elijah Wood, Laurence Fishburne, Lindsay Lohan, Anthony Hopkins, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Heather Graham, William H. Macy and Estevez's dad, Martin Sheen.
Doing only slim business was Fast Food Nation, Richard Linklater's adaptation of Eric Schlosser's exposé of chain restaurants and their suppliers. The R-rated Fox Searchlight release, with a cast that includes Greg Kinnear, Wilmer Valderrama and Bobby Cannavale and cameos from the likes of Bruce Willis, didn't make much of a happy meal for its distributor, munching up only $1,280 per screen at 321 locations for a value menu-worthy $372,012.
Despite the good news for Mumble and 007, the overall gross was down 20 percent from last weekend and 22 percent down over this time last year, when Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire conjured up a whopping $102.3 million.
Here's a rundown of the top-grossing weekend films, based on studio tallies compiled by Exhibitor Relations:
1. Happy Feet, $41.5 million
2. Casino Royale, $40.8 million
3. Borat, $14.6 million
4. The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, $8.3 million
5. Stranger Than Fiction, $6.61 million
6. Flushed Away, $6.6 million
7. Babel, $2.92 million
8. Saw III, $2.9 million
9. The Departed, $2.6 million
10. 8 Films to Die For—Horrorfest, $2.3 million

Welcome to Suite 1157
Try this for a deep, dark secret. The great detective Remington Steele? He doesn't exist. But here in cyberspace his legion of fans live on. Building on one of the first discussion groups on the web created exclusively for fans of Pierce Brosnan, Stephanie Zimbalist and regulars of the series, after long reflection, debate and trepidation I decided to go live with a blog dedicated to the actors we hold dear, the agency that brought them together and the series many of us fell in love with in the 80s.
Suite 1157 is a fun place to discuss the latest news, share thoughts or analysis of each episode, or just plain hang out.
To Remy fans everywhere, I bid you welome.
