A man was arrested after surveillance video showed him stealing DVDs from a display shelf at a Wal-Mart in Traverse City, Michigan.  He admitted to stealing DVDs for over 2 years.   I am not sure if all the thefts occurred at Wal-Mart or if hit other stores.   The article mentioned that he had stolen $18,000 in DVDs.    That really is a lot of DVDs  for anyone to steal.   I wonder if he actually watched the DVDs.  Maybe he stole them to make boat leg copies to sell or if he just sold the copies out right.   The articles did not say what he actually did with the DVDs; I’m just doing a little speculating.

Friday was the Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog” first official showing and the movie grossed $7.2million.  Including some limited engagements the filmed has brought in over $10 million.   “The Princess and the Frog” is Disney’s includes the first princess of African descent.   The setting of the story is  New Orleans, Louisiana.

Heather Locklear  has reprised her role as Amanda Woodward on Melrose Place.  Amanda was one of the key characters in the 90s version of Melrose Place and it hopeful that her return will help the new version succeed.  The newer version of Melrose Place has not been doing as well in the ratings.  There has been some casting changes like the return of Amanda and losing Ashlee Simpson’s character, Violet.  Although it was stated that Violet would not be a long-term character.

This holiday season Jim Carey will be starring in a new adaptation of Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol.” The original story was published in 1843 and will have seen many incarnations of the story over the years. Now the story will be on the big screen as 3-D animation, like what we saw in The Polar Express. Digital 3-D has allowed Jim Carrey to take on more than the role of Ebenezer Scrooge. He is also the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. Jim has long shown his ability to play different character from his days of being on the 90s hit “In Living Color.” It will great to see how he lends his voice to character in Disney’s “A Christmas Carol.” The movie opens in theaters everywhere on November 6, 2009 with showings in Disney Digital 3D and IMAX 3D.

Two “The Office” actors have known each other since their days as little league players. 

By bizarre coincidence, The Office has reunited [B.J.] Novak[,who plays Ryan Howard,] with one of his Newton[,Massachusetts] homeboys. He was a Little League teammate of John Krasinski, who plays Jim on the sitcom. In fact the two went all the way through high school together.

The end of an era is here. E.R. (Emergency Room) aired its final episode tonight. When NBC first premiered E.R. I did no watch it for several seasons but soon it peaked my interest after seeing it a few time in syndication. I started watching those reruns and then began to watch it on primetime for a few seasons. For a while that was the show that I just could go without seeing.

But over the years my love of E.R. started to fade. I don’t know if it was all the changes in characters that I have come to enjoy, but one season it seemed as though every character was new. There was not that main anchor character that tied everything together.

Every show has that point where it is time to say goodbye. Some leave long before we want them to like Seinfeld; and others long after we have lost interest like the Drew Carey show. E.R. is somewhere in between.

“Madea Goes to Jail” was #1 at the box office for tow weeks in a row and Tyler Perry was on the Oprah Winfrey show to discuss that.  They also talked about how he gave Gayle, Oprah’s best friend, and Oprah  each a white Bentley a couple years ago.  Now that is a friend with real benefits. 

This week “Madea Goes to Jail” was beat out by “Watchmen” and dropped to #2.
