The Weird and Wonderful Cinematic Life of Young Freddie Highmore, So Far
Freddie Highmore
I’m a huge fan of Bates Motel and the cast so I had to repose this post from our friends over on Amityville Now
Mr. Highmore is all of 22 years old, but he’s already portrayed some of America’s best-loved icons, and clearly he’s just getting started.
Freddie Highmore may be young, but he knows how to play with the big boys. And he’s been doing it for years. In a little more than a decade, he’s played young King Arthur, the kid from Spiderwick, the inspiration for Peter Pan, Roald Dahl’s Charlie Bucket and—of course—a teenage Norman Bates. An enormous career for a kid who’s barely old enough to vote…
Five Children and It
Go way back to 2001, when he was a wee bit of a lad, but 9 years old. He was the youngest version of King Arthur in The Mists of Avalon. Three years later, at the age of 12 (and looking younger, he was a little boy muckin’ aboot with fairies in the highly derivative Five Children and It, and then months later the big break: Charlie Bucket in the remake of Roald Dahl’s classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In between, he was J.M. Barrie’s inspiration for Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up, in Finding Neverland, appearing with Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet. Good or bad in general, there’s no question: Freddie was fantastical.

Jaime Camil and Andrea Navedo
Jane the Virgin
Andrea Navedo and KTLA Morning News’ Sam Rubin on the success of Jane The Virgin and the release of a lovely little independent film called Once Upon A Time in Queens—directed by David Rodriguez and stars Paul Sorvino, Michael Rapaport, Renee Props, Chazz Palminteri, Paul Ben-Victor and Steven Bauer.
Talking with Rubén Blades
I woke up the other morning to an interview of musician/actor Rubén Blades by NPR’s Scott Simon, where he talked about converting some of his most iconic music into tangos. I thought that made perfect sense; one of the reasons I’ve loved Blades music for all these years is because of its poetic sounds. Tango is a wonderful new format for them all.
Here’s the NPR interview, where he talks about his music, his career, and even about running for president of Panamá again in 2019. But that’s the future. Right now, he’s been busy performing at Lincoln Center.
The Damned: An Actually Effective Bi-Lingual Horror Movie
Sophia Myles The Damned
Reposted from our friends over on Amityville Now
Latinos and Anglos alike, we love us our horror movies. But the most recent Paranormal Activity installment notwithstanding, it’s pretty rare that a decent scary movie has successfully combined the aesthetic and even the languages of the two cultures. But The Damned actually succeeds. Here’s the trailer:
