Third son for Will Ferrell Oct 2, 2009
When his 'Bewitched' co-star Nicole Kidman gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose last July, he jokingly advised her to talk to her newborn daughter "at least once a week". He said: "For me, I would advise to talk to your children, at least once a week. If you've got time, do it two or three times a week. But otherwise, I find the times where I let weeks and weeks go by without talking to my children, that adds up.". (iAfrica.com)

" The Telegraph, London Julie & Julia opens on October 8. Searching for a pot of gold By Gerard Wright JULIA CHILD owned an inimitable, operatic warble of a voice, stood 188 centimetres tall and was anything but graceful, except in front of a TV camera and over a chopping board. There, she moved with confidence and authority, cracking the once impenetrable code that was French cooking for a growing and fascinated American audience. This was a woman long admired by the director and screenwriter... (Sydney Morning Herald -- Entertainment)

Im sure she took a pounding on `Bewitched, and I know how hard it is to make those movies. I root for her. (Variety)
Julie & Julia is sweet, tasty treat Aug 5, 2009
While Ephron has her share of commercial hits, shes also been responsible for duds like Lucky Numbers, Bewitched and the truly toxic Mixed Nuts. But even her successes (Youve Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle) felt clunky and impersonal. (MSNBC -- Movies)
Streep captures the flavor of Julia Aug 2, 2009
Written and directed by the woman who brought us Sleepless in Seattle and You ve Got Mail (and also Bewitched, but we forgive her), Ephron s Julie & Julia is actually two movies in one. Streep s half is a feel-good biopic based on My Life in France, Child s 2006 memoir written with Alex Prud homme, which looks back on her years as a middle-aged Le Cordon Bleu student and food pioneer in the making.

Land Of The Lost Jun 16, 2009
There was the 1970s TV newsreader Ron Burgundy, the 1970s basketball owner Jackie Moon, the 40-year-old teenager in Step Brothers, the remakes of '60s and '70s TV shows Bewitched and Starsky And Hutch, the oversized elf in Elf.

Will Ferrell's unlikely action man Jun 5, 2009
"There was a little bit of hesitation initially because I just got through Bewitched and that film got beat up for being another TV show as a movie it got unfairly maligned in a way and became a poster child for that one summer of how Hollywood doesn't have any original ideas," he says. "So at first I had a little bit of a knee-jerk reaction [to Land Of The Lost] and thought, well, I don't know - but then I thought about my initial love of the series. I also felt this was different in that... (Sydney Morning Herald -- Entertainment)
Ferrell's flick truly ‘Lost' Jun 5, 2009
Ferrell is caught somewhere between his confident, brazen roles of recent PG-13 past ( Anchorman,' Talladega Nights,' Blades of Glory'), which were unbearable to watch, and his more family friendly roles ( Elf,' Stranger than Fiction,' Bewitched') and comes up lacking a clear audience. But whoever the audience is, it is not children. (Rexburg Standard Journal, ID)
Get your damn dirty hands off these franchises! May 9, 2009
We could also mention about a dozen TV remakes we're looking at you Honeymooners and McHales Navy but Bewitched with Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell gets its own special nod. Not just because that wretched film soiled the memory of one of a classic sitcom or because Nora Ephrons TV show remake-within-a-remake story simply outsmarted itself, but because it made one of the funniest guys on the planet that would be Ferrell painfully unfunny.
