Here's the first pinup shot of the newest member of the REEL TALK family -- Frederick Bailes Ryan was born at 2:30pm last Thursday here in NYC. He weighed 6 lbs, 14 oz. upon arrival. Freddie is the second child for Alison & Keith Ryan. She gave birth to Agatha in 2005, right around the time REEL TALK was launched, actually (Hi, Aggie!).

Everyone's doing fine, and while Alison's recuperating at home for a bit (hopefully trying to catch up on all the TV shows she watches), we'll have a few FORTs (Friends Of Reel Talk) filling in for her.

This weekend, Ben Lyons, the movie guy on E!'s "The Daily 10" and Jeffrey's Hip-Hop loving son, will step in to help review the week's new movies. The lineup includes Steve Carell's "Dan in Real Life," Director Sidney Lumet's "Before The Devil Knows You're Dead," Sir Anthony Hopkins' directorial effort, "Slipstream" and the documentary "Mr. Untouchable," about the rise and fall of Harlem drug lord Nicky Barnes.

On our Nov. 3rd show, Entertainment Weekly's Dave Karger drops by to co-host the show with Jeffrey. You may recognize Dave from one of the 7855 appearances he's made on the TODAY show. That week features an interesting slate of films, including "American Gangster" (which I expect to do big box-office and earn serious Oscar consideration), "Bee Movie," "Martian Child," and two interesting documentaries, "Darfur Now" about the genocide happening in the Sudan; and "Joe Strummer: The Future in Unwritten" about one of the truly great and influential musicians of the past 30 years, the late founder of The Clash.

We've got a bunch of trailers for these upcoming movies. Just click on the Movie Trailers tab to check 'em out.
