Barbers, Treasure, War & Cox This Weekend on REEL TALK!
Posted by reeltalk on 12/20/07 at 01:42 PM

Sweeney Todd PosterWith Christmas Day falling on a Tuesday, this weekend is turning out to be the biggest of the year for Hollywood. Nearly 10 films open between now and Christmas Day.

On this week's show, Jeffrey & Alison share their thoughts on Tim Burton's blood-splattering songfest "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" (pity the poor theater workers who have to squeeze all those letters on a marquee), Nicolas Cage digging through history in "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," "Charlie Wilson's War" with Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jack Nicholson & Morgan Freeman in a movie together for the first time in "The Bucket List," "P.S. I Love You" starring Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler, and John C. Reilly singing for his supper in the music biopic spoof "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story."

What's with all the long titles this week? And this year, for that matter?

John C. Reilly as Dewey CoxAnyway, Reilly gets Top Billing on this week's show as well. He talks to Alison about finally shedding the 'character actor' label he's had for about 10 years now and shows in 'Walk Hard' that he's not only absolutely hysterical but a great singer as well. Wait 'til you see the interview. You can tell Reilly had a lot of fun playing Dewey Cox as well as writing and performing the songs.

We also turn our 'Spotlight On' one of the most successful producers Hollywood's ever seen, Jerry Bruckheimer. He dropped by recently to talk to Jeffrey and explained some of the secrets to his incredible success - Namely, hard work, calm demeanor and treating people the right way.

Oh, and Alison also recommends a good holiday DVD that's not your usual Christmas pic. So tune in to REEL TALK this weekend so you know what to decide on this holiday week at the multiplex.
