On the surface, we have very little … okay, maybe nothing in common with Nicole Kidman. She’s got awards galore, counts other Hollywood A-listers among her colleagues and friends, and likely gets serenaded by Keith Urban daily. But when it comes to the actress’s beauty routine, we can more than relate to her practical approach.

“I like anything that is low maintenance and quick, yet can still give me results,” says the actress. “I don’t have a lot of time, so I can’t need 100 things, just a small number of products I really love.”

So what will...

One of the most talked about films at this year’s Sundance Film Festival is Randy Moore’s Escape From Tomorrow. To shoot his film, set in Disney World, Moore purchased a season pass to the park and secretly filmed his actors without the park’s knowledge. There is no question that, at a minimum, Moore violated the terms of entry on the tickets he purchased. It’s possible that he could be prosecuted for trespass. The larger question though: Does the film violate Disney’s copyright? Or to put it in a way that film fans actually care about: Will the film ever be released? Will we ever be able to watch it?

The New York Times suggests that Moore will have problems releasing the film, “The movie, while careful to leave out certain copyrighted material (like the “It’s a Small World” song), would seem to test the...

The Disney Company’s history with the Oscars has been long and cultured. Trivia buffs may know that Walt holds the honor of winning the most Academy Award nominations (59) and wins (26), but Mr. Disney isn’t the only one with the company who has received much recognition. In this special edition of the Mouse House, premiering during a most exciting time of the year for any film buff, we’ll cover some of the most memorable milestones for Disney at awards time, in addition to shocking nominations and snubs. On with the show.

When his classmates were learning the basic fundamentals of subtraction, he memorized all fifty Us states and their capitals. In fifth grade, he competed in a statewide geography bee. He can currently name all 195 nations of the world and can nearly name all their capitals and largest cities. As such, when he hears of some small, obscure nation like Seychelles, his synapses connect and form a reaction similar to how you and I would react to Mexico.

Seychelles, a tropical island nation off the eastern coast of Africa, was indeed the location of this week’s episode of The Amazing Race. Six teams remain, and only one, dating couple Carol & Brandy, could correctly pronounce the country’s name correctly (Father/daughter team Steve & Allie came close, but stumbled between the first and second syllable...

The Goldfish Twins Swim the Big Blue Sea!

Last year New York got its first taste of Zombie Joe and his mastery of adapting horror to the stage. This year he’s back, under the name Limecat Family Theatre Company, with an all-new children’s show, The Goldfish Twins Swim the Big Blue Sea!, proving equally adept at entertaining children now as he did lovers of Edgar Allen Poe last season.

Playing at both St. Luke’s Theatre (The Tortoise and the Hare’s Holiday Hoop-La) and Actor’s Temple Theatre (this show), with alternating casts, Limecat is a theater company to keep in mind for families looking to entertain and educate their wee ones through efforts of the stage.
