Rest in Peace, Michael Clarke Duncan

In case you missed it, Michael Clarke Duncan went to Scotland with Craig Ferguson earlier this year. He was always a fun guest. He had a heart attack in July and passed away today at age 54.

The Man Behind Geoff the Robot

Highlight reel from the brilliant Josh Robert Thompson, AKA Geoff Peterson from The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.  If you haven't seen him exchange rapid fire, witty, tear-inducing banter with my favorite Scotsman on TV, you're missing out.  Craig told the New York Times:
"I wanted to deconstruct the idea of the sidekick by having a robot sidekick who became a great sidekick [laughs] and the guy who does it is so good. So it’s a huge failure – it completely endorses the idea of the sidekick."

Winnie the Pooh


Winnie the Pooh is the family film to see if your little ones aren't old enough, or just haven't fallen under the spell of a certain boy wizard. I've always loved Pooh bear, and to see Christopher Robin and all his pals on the big screen was such a treat. I'm a big fan of old school, lovingly hand-drawn animation. To me they are works of art, a throwback to those innocent days before CGI and 3D became the norm. This perfectly polished gem of a film is sure to become a classic.

The story is very simple and just short enough to keep the attention of children. This sweet-as-honey film is narrated by John Cleese. Pooh (and Tigger) is voiced by Jim Cummings; the know-it-all Owl by Craig Ferguson. For us older members of the audience, it is nostalgic. For the kids, it is the proper way to be introduced to the creatures of the Hundred Acre Wood.

Come early to see a beautiful animated short about Nessie. I loved the still life photos of Christopher Robin's room that book-ends the movie. Stay until the end of the credits for a bonus scene. Plus the credits themselves are all still fully animated, with the Hundred Acre gang popping up amongst the names. Thanks for that Pixar touch, producer John Lasseter!


Tony Award-winning composer and lyricist Robert Lopez (of Avenue Q and The Book of Mormon fame) provided additional music. Actress/singer Zooey Deschanel's performances of the songs provided the right amount of whimsy and charm to an already delightful film.

American Gods

Author Neil Gaiman chatting it up with Craig Ferguson last night. Very funny interview as they are obviously big fans of each other. I can't believe Craig had Paris Hilton on first.

Bravo Mr. Ferguson!

I've gotten to the point where one mention of Charlie Sheen and I change the channel. Shame on you lamestream media for feeding this disturbed man's egomania! The turmoil in the Middle East, teachers getting laid off, unemployment. That's news. Not the ramblings of a violent addict.

Thanks Craig for taking the high road. You're a class act. We've had enough of Charlie's Sheenanigans. The man clearly needs help.

The Englishman and the Scotsman

Here's the very funny, very British Colin Firth's appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson last year. Let's hope he wins the Oscar this year.
