I Found Myself in ‘The Middle’ of a Fantastic Set Visit

by
#TheMiddle Heck House Set Visit #ABCTVEvent

The Brady Bunch they’re not. On the other hand, they’re slightly less dysfunctional than The Simpsons, so they’ve got that going for them. I’m talking about The Heck Family, stars of ABC’s “The Middle.” Starring Patricia Heaton and Neil Flynn as parents Frankie and Mike Heck living in Orson, Indiana, this modern-family sitcom is a humorous slice of life as these two try to successfully raise their three kids (Axl, Sue and Brick) without killing …

James Bobin Director #MuppetsMostWantedEvent

He may not be as big a name as Spielberg, Lucas or Scorsese, but to me, James Bobin has them all beat. The English-born director is responsible for bringing back one of the greatest families of all time to the big screen: The Muppets.

Yes, I’m an equal opportunist. I …

In the history of awesometastic movies, it’s rare that a sequel isn’t just good but better than the original. A few notable exceptions include The Empire Strikes Back, Superman II and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. …

Muppets Most Wanted interview with Kermit, Miss Piggy and Constantine

I’ve conducted a lot of eclectic celebrity interviews in my geek-filled journalstic career. Marvel co-founder Stan Lee. Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill. WWF superstar The Ultimate Warrior. Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane. Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider. Not-so-silent-Bob Kevin Smith. But none of them, not a one (Sorry, Dee!), can hold a candle to the group interview I was part of last week in LA for the #MuppetsMostWantedEvent. Myself and roughly two dozen other bloggers …
