Here's Richard's Canada AM  "Toy Story 3" interview with Timothy Dalton and Joan Cusack! What was Joan Cusack's favorite toy as a kid? “I had a Barbie head,” says Cusack, who returns to the Toy Story franchise for the second time as the voice of Jessie, the Yodeling Cowgirl. “Just the head. It was sold like that. It was her head and her neck was like a tray and we did make-up and hair on the head. That’s all I can really remember. The rest of it was all make-believe and forts and playing house and stuff. It wasn’t so much toys back then.” Watch the interview here!

It will put you in a good mood even if you have chemical depression...'”

The stars have come out to play toys in the film, but what toys did they play with as children?.."

Dennis Hopper dies at 74

I originally posted this on Dennis Hopper's 74th birthday, but today, in light of his passing I thought I'd share it again. Think I'll stay in and watch "Easy Rider" tonight...

I was in Los Angeles last March when Dennis Hopper received his star on the Walk of Fame but decided not to go down and check out the ceremony. It was being billed as his last public appearance and something inside me didn't want to see him wasted away and frail. As someone who has witnessed, up close and personal, the terrible effects of cancer I thought it would be too much and preferred to remember him as the stoned Billy from “Easy Rider” or “Blue Velvet’s” unhinged Frank Booth. But one photograph from the event made me regretful I didn't make the trip to Hollywood Boulevard (it’s in front of Grauman's Egyptian Theater) that afternoon...

Richard hosted a Q&A with The Trotsky stars Jay Baruchel, Colm Feore and Saul Rubinek in Toronto recently! Read about it here! "His brilliant sense of movement exiting some scenes drew praise from Toronto's most renowned Film Critic Richard Crouse, who hosted this evening's Q&A.  Believe it or not, Baruchel idolizes Rowan Atkinson of Mr. Bean fame and as an afterthought one can see that influence in his animated mannerisms.  When asked about his fame from an audience member, he indicated that he is proudly Canadian, planning to continue residing in Montreal as he always has.  He assured us that he will continue to support and make Canadian films and let the world know about the wonderful films being made in our country..."
