Here's some good news to get you through the weekend. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz are all coming back for "Shrek 2."

Well, if you are in the mood for a film this weekend you are in luck! There is a slew of new films opening up!

Michelle Pfeiffer and Sean Penn star in the "Oscar Craving" production I Am Sam, which is surprisingly NOT based on the work of one Dr. Suess.

Featuring a great cast, that includes "Memento" lead Guy Pierce, Disney remakes and releases The Count Of Monte Cristo, a film which is ripe for a parody; and if parody is in your mind this weekend, then see Kung Pow: Enter The Fist. Sure it's dumb! Sure, it's really stupid! But what else would you expect from the writer and director of "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls"?!?

How about a date movie, Dan? Well, if you are calling a lady- friend to see a movie, then this weekend gives you the surprisingly entertaining A Walk To Remember. She will love it, and you for going. And honestly, and quite surprisingly, it really isn't that bad.

Bad had better not be the word I use after I see The Mothman Prophecies. This pseudo horror film looks good, and stars Laura Linney and Richard Gere, but I am a bit worried that it comes from the director of "Arlington Road," which I thought was horrible. Here's hoping the "phecies" part of "The Mothman Prophecies" is not all that we remember!

And that's new in theatres this weekend! Enjoy the popcorn!

ON THE PROWL

The New York Post is reporting that Fox is trying to lure Conan O'Brien away from NBC to host a new late-night talk show. His contract reportedly ends in September.

The December death of former Big Country singer Stuart Adamson has been ruled a suicide.

So, it's a decade later and Marisa Tomei has Oscar in her sights again.

He was a great man who was always very generous to me. He will be missed! He is already missed! Canadian broadcasting legend Peter Gzowski has died at 67.

Rest in peace, Sir!
