10294324_10152945043960342_6939463805252988567_nGuess what? I'll be heading to Los Angeles from Thursday, February 5th – Sunday, February 8th to attend the press junket ofMcFARLAND, USA(opening in theatres on 2/20!) where I will interview Kevin Costner and additional cast, filmmakers and the real life inspirations behind the film! For those of you who don't know, Kevin Costner is Bill's man crush. He has seen every movie he's ever made (and yes, he even likes Waterworld. Though his favorite Kevin Costner movie is Postman.)

I will also attend a special press day at Walt Disney Animation Studios for the In-Home release ofBIG HERO 6 where I will interview the filmmakers, Ryan Potter (voice of “Hiro”), Daniel Henney (voice of “Tadashi”) andScott Adsit (voice of “Baymax”)! I've only seen about 15 minutes of this movie so far, so I can't wait to see the whole movie. Plus, my 7 year old son is dying to see this film!

You will also attend a special press day at DisneyToon Studios for the In-Home release of TINKER BELL AND THE LEGEND OF THE NEVERBEAST where you will interview the filmmakers and Ginnifer Goodwin (voice of “Fawn”)! I'm so excited to meet Ginnifer!

The fun doesn’t stop there as I will also preview two soon-to-air episodes of ABC’s new family comedy, “Fresh Off the Boat,”and meet with the show’s Writer and Executive Producer Nahnatchka Kahn as well as available cast from the show!

Finally, I will also screen the upcoming Disney Channel Film BAD HAIR DAY (premiering Friday, February 13th at 8:00 p.m., ET/PT) followed by a Q+A with star and Executive Producer Leigh-Allyn Baker!

    Ask them if they watch the movies themselves and how does that feel. Do you they ever feel like a viewer instead of someone in the movie.
