John Cho on A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas, Meeting the World’s Leaders, and Talking Basketball with the President

The sweetest feel-good flick of the holiday season may well be the one about two ex-BFFs, who’d once gone in search of White Castle sliders and tangled with Homeland Security, who reunite on Christmas Eve to hunt down the perfect fir, crossing paths with drug-sniffing babies, Ukrainian gangsters, and a sweater-clad Danny Trejo along the way. Stoner heroes Harold and Kumar have come a long way since 2004 — and so has co-star John Cho , who sat down with Movieline recently to talk H&K, career moves, and his encounters with the likes of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and President Obama.

Talkback: Should Studio Heads Be as Candid as Universal’s Ron Meyer?

I was traveling all day as Movieline’s report from the Savannah Film Festival picked up steam around the blogosphere, but early on it was clear that two polar-opposite reactions were building in response to Universal Studios chief Ron Meyer’s comments about his studio’s well-publicized (at least, outside of the studio) recent flops. Either you love his blazing moment of candor — because we’ve all thought the same about most, if not all, of the woeful Universal films mentioned — or you despise what he stands for. But Meyer is a businessman, the President and COO of one of the largest movie studios and theme park conglomerates in the business. Should more filmmakers and studio heads follow suit?

Lily Tomlin on Robert Altman, David O. Russell and a Lifetime of Achievement

In a career spanning over four decades Lily Tomlin has virtually done it all — but, as she told Movieline this week at the Savannah Film Festival , in town to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award, she’s not done yet. After rising to stardom on Laugh-In (where she created indelible characters like Ernestine the telephone operator and Edith Ann, the impossibly precocious 5-year-old), the funny woman won Grammys for her comedy albums, won a Tony for her one-woman Broadway show, earned an Oscar nod making her dramatic debut in Robert Altman’s Nashville , and starred in ’80s comedy classics like 9 to 5 and The Incredible Shrinking Woman .

Bad Movies We Love: Hocus Pocus

Whip up a cauldron of haterade, because this week’s Bad Movie We Love is a foray into children’s Halloween cinema. It’s a bargain bin Addams Family ripoff with spooky gusts of wind beneath its wings. It’s Hocus Pocus , my pretties, Disney’s perennial Halloween favorite for people who were exactly 7 in 1993. (Present!) We’ve got yer veteran character actresses in hag attire, a couple of winning child stars, and two songs that should render you songless until Thanksgiving. No, this is not a prequel to Sex and the City 2 .
