I have to admit, I really missed the boat on the Degrassi franchise in the beginning but as a devoted fan of Kevin Smith, his interest caught my interest and I started watching. Before long, I was hooked. I also really like Shenae Grimes so I thought there might be a chance of a cameo in Degrassi Goes Hollywood.

I was excited and even though I didn’t get the cameo I had been hoping for, I was treated to so much more – Kevin Smith, Vivica A. Fox, Kelly Carlson and Pete Wentz! A great story! A great cast with many of the beloved Degrassi regulars and the awesome Jason Mewes. All in all, Degrassi Goes Hollywood is a winner!

The only problem? Two words – Perez Hilton. That dude makes my blood boil. Aside from that, there are precious few problems with Degrassi Goes Hollywood and so much to love!

Why no one brought Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet together before Finding Neverland is beyond me. These two are so great together and the entire cast is incredible. The children, especially Freddie Highmore (Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, August Rush), are incredible. There is nothing about this movie that doesn’t work.

Johnny and Kate are brilliant in their roles and Johnny is unbelievably gorgeous as always. I don’t know how that man can be so consistently edible (except for maybe at the end of The Libertine). I loved how Finding Neverland really took us into the mind of the man that gave us Peter Pan and paralleled it so well with his home life.
