THE LAST KISS of Zach Braff

THE LAST KISS  of Zach Braff

Zach Braff had been to the Emmy Awards show the night before flying into San Francisco for THE LAST KISS’ press day on August 28, 2006. With little sleep, he was still very funny and very thoughtful as he pondered the film’s themes of love, commitment, and the definition of surprise, as well as what… Read More »

Nia Vardalos & John Corbett & MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING

Wayans, Marlon — A HAUNTED HOUSE

It’s not often that my heart is broken in the first minute of an interview, but such was the case when talking to Marlon Wayans about A HAUNTED HOUSE on December 3, 2012. As is my wont, I included some of his upcoming projects in my introduction, one of which, a bio-pic of Richard Pryor,… Read More »

Laurent Tirard Brings MOLIERE to Life

Laurent Tirard Brings MOLIERE to Life

Laurent Tirard proved to be as philosophical as he is imaginative. His film being MOLIERE, the subject of comedy as a serious business naturally came up when we talked on July 10, 2007, but it was his lively musings on what makes a good script, how to imitate a horse, as well as his citation of Joseph Campbell that… Read More »
