Disney's Alexander and the Terrible,
Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day makes bad days fun, stars Jennifer Garner-Afflect and Steve Carell
"Alex is quit relatable," said Ed
Oxenbould who plays Alexander in Disney's presentation of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day that
stars SAG Award nominated Jennifer Garner-Affleck (The Odd Life of Timothy Green) and Golden Globe winner Steve Carell (Get
Smart). "Other kids can relate to him."
Alex is a high school aged typical boy who seems to always have a bad day, so much so it goes unnoticed
by this family. Jennifer is Kelly Cooper the very busy career mother who works for a book publishing company, and Steve ("The
Office") is Ben Cooper an out of work/but looking father. It is Alexander's birthday and he makes a wish that his family
- which also includes the very handsome brother Anthony Cooper played by Dylan Minnette ("Scandal"), and aspiring
actress/singer sister Emily Cooper played by Kerris Dorsey (Money Ball) - would experience a bad day too.
So everyone, except Alexander, is having a bad day on his birthday, but as Ed said the characters are all so relatable they
make bad days fun. At the end of the day everything works out as things do.
The comedic film
is based on the 1972 classic children's book by Judith Viorst of the same name. The Cooper family also includes adorable baby
Trevor played by twins Elise and Zoey Vagas. Out of work Ben Cooper has the duty of babysitting baby Trevor. Alexander and
the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is full of laughs for the whole family.
Miguel
Arteta directed the Rated PG film. The screenplay was written by Rob Lieber, and it was produced by Dan Levine, Lisa Henson
and Shawn Levy.
Universal
Pictures' Dracula Untold puts the human twist on an epic tale, in theaters December 10, 2014
Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, screenwriters, put the human twist on an epic tale of the vampire in Universal Pictures' action/horror
film Dracula Untold. The Rated PG-13 fantasy film is based on Bram Stoker's Dracula. Dracula Untold stars Luke Evans (Fast
& Furious 6) as Vlad III the Impaler aka Count Dracula, and Sarah Gadon as his wife. The film draws you in as it
focuses on the struggles of a caring, but ruthless, king as he rules his kingdom. This storyline brings in the human side
where you see his love and devotion for his family, and what lengths he would go to protect them. Vlad III was faced with giving away 1,000 young boys from his kingdom for
the emperor's army, or dying to protect them. He decided to use an ancient power from a cursed vampire so he could destroy
the emperor's arm, but there was a catch. Also starring
in Dracula Untold are Dominic Cooper, Charles Dance, Art Parkinson, and Samantha Barks. It is directed by Gary Shore and produced
by Michael De Luca. The Legendary Pictures, Relativity Media, Michael De Luca Production arrives in theaters October 10, 2014.

keyboardist Patrick Bradley releases ‘Can You Hear Me" featuring Dave Koz and Rick Braun
"This one was inspired by a need to write music," said Contemporary Jazz Fusion keyboardist Patrick Bradley about
his new album release, "Can You Hear Me," that features saxophonist Dave Koz, trumpeter Rick Braun and saxophonist
Eric Marienthal. "It all unfolded. I wanted to have a song for my mother...she passed away in 2008. It was some heavy
stuff going on. ‘Can You Hear Me' ended up the single." The "Can You Hear Me" album is produced by Jeff Lorber. My favorite cuts on the album include the
title track because that horn support is a perfect blend to Bradley's keys; "All In" because I love the excellent
Smooth Jazz feel to it; "For Her" for its funky Jazz style, and I love the lead guitar support; "Shoreline"
for Patrick's skills on the keys; "Voyage" has that Latin feel I love, and the horn support was amazing; "Catalan"
also had a funky Jazz feel because of the way he played, and "Sierra" is a nice number with a futuristic sound to
it. You can learn more about Patrick Bradley and
