Back In Action!
Looney Tunes: Back In Action opens today. I saw a preview screening of it last week. I cannot stress how important it is that you see this film. This is the comeback of the Looney Tunes characters that the fans have been waiting for. It is one of the funniest films of the year. GO SEE IT! You won't be disappointed, I guarantee it.

R.I.P. - Art Carney
Art Carney, known to the world as Ed Norton on The Honeymooners, has died at the age of 85. He passed away at his Connecticut home on Sunday and was laid to rest on Tuesday. Though he was most well known for playing Ed Norton, his true love was the theatre. His biggest stage success came in the form of Neil Simon's "The Odd Couple" in which he originated the role of Felix Unger opposite Walter Matthau. He will be missed.
