Here’s the thing about Oprah Winfrey. She knows how to suckpeople in. Clearly she’s been building her army of followers for decades—wooingthem with free cars and trips to Australia, tugging at their heartstrings withhuman tragedy, and luring them into her book club.
We admit, we’ve been holdouts—never willing to put her on our daily DVR list.But Oprah rises above the other hosts for one reason—tenacity. Slowly butsurely she captures the stragglers who have managed to elude her net.
So, how is Op finally converting the Passionistas to herfold? How else? Musicals. Today, Lady O is reuniting the cast of The Sound of Music, bringing themtogether for the first time in 45 years.
It may not be surprising that the Von Trapp children willall be present and accounted for (answering to each personalized whistle sound wehope). After all, Oprah doesn’t call...

Santa Barbara based filmmaker John "Wedge" Wardlaw was working at his brother's company, Specialty Tool and Bolt, when his friend Michael Wilcox made a simple suggestion, "We should make a movie about nuts and bolts." The result, an animated short that Wardlaw wrote that very night called The Bolt Who Screwed Christmas, will be screened at this year's Burbank International Film Festival.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas fans will love the homage to Chuck Jones' holiday classic but sci-fi fans are in for a treat, too. The film features the final performance of Lost in Space villain Jonathan Harris and marked a reunion of his co-stars Bill Mumy, Angela Cartwright, and Marta Kristen.
In our exclusive interview with Wardlaw (after the jump) he talks about working with the legendary cast, the process of making The Bolt Who Screwed Christmas, his favorite Jonathan Harris story,...
