Celebrity encounter: Stephen Spielberg

Leave a comment

My fellow Washington Area Film Critic Association member Kevin McCarthy a pretty awesome life. He travels to lavish hotels and kicks it with your favorite movie stars like you or I go to the grocery store. You’d want to hate, but the dude is one of the nicest and friendliest guys you’ll ever meet in the critic circles.Steven Spielberg pic

Kevin has a number of celebrity meetings, but I asked him to give me his favorite and right away he knew who that would be – his run-ins with Oscar-winning director Stephen Spielberg – one of the best filmmakers of all-time and the creative force behind classics like “Jaws,” Saving Private Ryan,” “Lincoln” and of course, “The Indiana Jones” trilogy. I’ll just keep pretending pod people  made “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” Anyway, here’s Kevin: More

The Cabin in the Woods – No actor’s other actor had a better three years than Chris Hemsworth. He had a brief, but memorable role in the “Star Trek,” then hit the jackpot by being cast as the lead in 2011′s “Thor,” which led to a one of the main roles in “Marvel’s The Avengers,” the year’s biggest blockbuster and the third highest grossing film of all time and his stock continues to rise with starring roles in “Snow White and the Huntsman” and the forthcoming “Red Dawn” remake. It also helps get movies that were on the shelf released in theaters. In this Joss Whedon/Drew Goddard horror/thriller, five friends travel to a cabin that has more secrets than they imagined. I haven’t seen this yet, but I’ve yet to see anything Whedon’s been involved in that I haven’t enjoyed tremendously and I doubt he’ll start here either. More
