Diary of a Wimpy Kid is hitting this week, and I recently got a chance to check in with Alex Ferris, who plays Collin. It was a lot of fun to talk to the young actor who was recently nominated for two Young Artist Awards (The Time Traveler's Wife, Living Out Loud), and given my experience interviewing people under the age of 15, it was rather educational as well. Given my fairly limited knowledge of the book/film, it was educational in more ways than one. For those who also are not among the initiated, Collin (who Alex describes as a preppy, Republican kid) becomes friends with Rowley after Rowley and Greg (the wimpy kid) have a fight.

With so much fuss being made about J.J. Abrams Star Trek reboot, it's easy to forget that there is another successful franchise out there with Star... in the title. That would be Stargate, which is due for its own sort of makeover later this year with the premiere of Stargate Universe. This is no sign that the concept is struggling, though. Indeed, the slew of awards that Stargate productions won at the recent Leo Awards in Vancouver, British Columbia (the home base of CinemaSpy) shows that it continues to be admired.
