"Mad Men" Returns for Season 5 on March 25

Just 6 more days until the two-hour premiere of season 5 of the much-anticipated return of "Mad Men" on Sunday, March 25!! It has been nearly a year and a half since season 4 ended. How many shows do you know, which could be off the air for almost two years and still draw an audience? Not many. However, anyone who watches HBO, AMC and other cable networks, know that a one-year hiatus is the regular break between seasons. Below is a sneak peek of a few scenes of season 5.

"Snow White and the Huntsman" Trailer

This looks like a great movie! Films based on fairy tales seems to be all the rage in Hollywood right now. Hoping for a live-action version of 'Beauty and the Beast' - two television projects based on this classic story are under development for fall 2012. Wonder if a movie could be far-behind.

"Snow White and the Huntsman" stars Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth. It opens on June 1, 2012.

Separated at birth?

There was a time when I would know about new bands as soon as they hit the scene, however, as I don't listen to radio, that is becoming more difficult. At the recent Grammy Awards I 'discovered' the band called The Civil Wars and what struck me (besides me liking their song) was the resemblance of the male singer John Paul White to rock singer and former White Stripes leadman, Jack White.

Okay, I did look for a picture of Jack White that looked most like John Paul White, but still...it's eerie. There is no relation, Jack's family surname is actually Gillis and he was born in Detroit, Michigan. John White was raised in Alabama. I'm a big fan of Jack White and a collaboration with The Civil Wars would be great. See their respective videos below. Even their musical styles are similar.
