Summary: Hollywood has lots of movies and TV coming and it's deja vu all over again. In other words, prequels, sequels and remakes. For instance, Steven Spielberg is reamking "West Side Story." Really. Is it like re-making "Gone With the Wind" or is it something you'd like to see? And there's a prequel to "The Sopranos" on the way. It takes place during the Newark race riots. Plus, there's a "Perry Mason" limited series on the way. It's sort of "Perry Mason: The Early Years" and takes place in 1930's Los Angeles. Had enough? Well there is one new series we haven't seen before and it's "Black Monday." It's set in the go-go 1980s as the financial world faces a stock market crash and it stars Don Cheadle. And we talk about the recent Critics Choice Awards and how the awards race is going. Who's up, who's down and who doesn't stand a chance. We've got inside info from insiders and the latest showbiz parties!
