You know what one of my favorite parts about AMC’s Hell on Wheels is? The show practically plowed right through the holidays. While I’m struggling to get back up to speed with everything else on my viewing schedule as the winter hiatus comes to a close, Hell on Wheels is as fresh in my mind as ever.

This show is also notable because, at least in America, it’s one of the few shows that has a person of color as their lead character, thus broadening the landscape of viable actors in Hollywood. 2.“The Walking Dead”: AMC…

Whether you’re into the show or not, a behind the scenes look at AMC’s Hell on Wheels is particularly interesting. The show’s a contemporary Western about an ex-Confederate solider who winds up helping construct the Union Pacific Railroad’s first transcontinental railroad, so timely set pieces and costumes are abound. Executive producer and director David Von Ancken touches on one of the show’s prime assets, their ability to rent 15,000 acres and, as Von Ancken points out in the video, 15,000 is a ton of land. Director of photography Marvin Rush piggybacks on the comment, noting the endless horizon the piece of land offers, something that lends itself to the visuals…

Title: Happy Feet Two Director: George Miller Starring the Voices: Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Ava Acres, Pink, Sofia Vergara, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Common, Hugo Weaving, Hank Azaria Talk about a versatile director. George Miller, who years ago was at the helm for all the gritty and violent Mad Max films, dials up some of the most tender and heartfelt moments depicted on screen this year with “Happy Feet Two.” As of today, the front-runner for Best Animated Film for 2011 has arrived. And for someone (me) who historically pans the 3D gimmick, it’s actually put to good use in this 105 minute presentation. We pick up with the dancing…

Just your average Thursday night, when you are watching television, your cell phone rings and Colbie Caillat is on the other side of the conversation. She says, “Hi,” and that welcoming gesture never sounded so beautifully optimistic before. Oh, so this phone chat doesn’t regularly happen to you? Well, us either, but the one time interview with Colbie Caillat star struck us enough. Ms. Caillat might have two Grammys under her belt, as well as gold and platinum albums, but this leading lady is incredibly humble about her high achievements. Not that we were surprised to discover this characteristic of hers, but most artists immersed in fame tend to let…
