Alpha Dog

A new trailer was recently released for an indie film called Man in the Chair which came into limited theatrical release on December 7th.
My German Shepherd, Sadie, appeared in the movie as an animal shelter dog who was set free by Christopher Plummer (best known to me for […]

Over the long Thanksgiving weekend, I went back to see my family in the San Francisco Bay Area where I completed two of my 101 List items.
The original list item #83 said to go to the top of one of the Golden Gate Bridge towers, but, unfortunately, that’s just not allowed anymore due to superfluous […]

Yesterday, as part of Mike Schneider’s second annual Great L.A. Walk, Jenn Moore and I hiked the entire 15.6 miles of Pico Boulevard from its start at the Coca-Cola Bottling Plant in Downtown Los Angeles to its end at Shutters On The Beach in Santa Monica.
Along the way, we passed such places as the Los […]

In the last couple of days, via TiVo and iTunes, I caught up on the final five or six episodes of the season of the canceled NBC television series, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
How bittersweet it was, though. With its excellent ensemble of actors, great writing of situations and dialogue, and its clever […]

I just completed item #15 on my 101 List. I compiled a list of productions which credited me on screen. That was easy enough!

I learned something new yesterday while scouting in Downtown L.A. There is no such person as Paul Hastings.
You know the building that I’m talking about, right? It’s the former Arco Tower at 5th & Flower Streets, the one that that proudly emblazons across the top: Paul Hastings. It was prominently visible in […]

I just got my second wrong-number call from someone who actually wanted to reach the nearby Sheraton Universal City Hotel. My home phone number is 818- 980-7878 and theirs is 818- 980-1212. Crap!
Maybe I should start taking reservations. And credit card numbers too!
It’s ironic because these guys don’t even allow filming. […]

We are currently filming scenes for an upcoming Anthony Hopkins movie at a beautiful estate in Encino, Los Angeles. The interesting thing here, though, is the huge orange grove next-door (at which we’re parking our basecamp of trucks and trailers). The San Fernando Valley used to be covered in orange groves, but, with […]

Last Saturday night, Melanie and I ate late at Fred 62 and we noticed the selection of three movies that happened to all be playing at the same time at the Los Feliz Theater at 1822 N. Vermont Avenue — Children of Men, Dreamgirls, and Little Children. I just had to return again later […]

I know that you all must be sick to death of me telling you that Sadie is in the Bruce Willis movie Alpha Dog which opens in theaters on January 12th. Well, just to add to that bit of oft-repeated news, it turns out that another movie of hers will be premiering that exact […]

The second trailer for Transformers was released on December 20th,

This was another movie that I had worked on last year, from June through September 2006. From having read the script and being there on set, and now seeing the trailer too, all I can say is that this movie is going to rock. […]

The trailer for Reign Over Me was just released,

I worked on this movie for four months between January and May 2006. It’s a good script and I liked the serious dramatic performance by Adam Sandler. It was also a fun movie on which to work.
I just think they made some poor choices with […]
