Tower Heist

Tower Heist is hilarious. The film hit theaters on November 4th. It stars Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Alan Alda and Casey Affleck.
When Arthur Shaw's (Alda) Ponzi scheme is revealed, the tower workers are devastated, and have lost all funds. Josh,(Stiller) feeling partially responsible, intends on getting it back. In addition to the newest tower employee, a broke Merrill Lynch invester and Charlie, (Affleck) Josh enlists the help of a petty neighborhood criminal named Slide (Murphy). They plan for a break in on Thanksgiving. Anything can happen during a robbery, and the truth can be shocking...
Murphy is back from unpopular, serious, commercial films, and is drop dead funny. Alda makes Shaw remind you of Bernie Maddoff and his scheme. Michael Pena is fresh and funny as the new Tower employee from Burger King. I rate it an "A" on a grade scale. It's terrific and comical.

Crystal to Host Oscars Again

Billy Crystal will be hosting the 84th Academy Awards (Oscars) in 2012. The comedian/actor hosted the Oscars eight times, the last being in 2004. He will replace Eddie Murphy, who backed out of hosting them not long before Crystal was hired. He is experienced at hosting the Oscars, which of course go to the best of actors.
