In October 1988, an Eskimo found three California gray whales trapped under ice in the Arctic Circle. The subsequent rescue became an international media event as more than 150 journalists from four continents transcended upon the small town of Barrow, Alaska.

Millions of people watched U.S. President Ronald Regan and General Secretary of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev work together to save the large marine mammals.

Twenty-two years later, Warner Bros. has picked up the rights to the story “Everybody Loves Whales” which is based on the book “Freeing the Whales” by Tom Rose.

Reports indicate that Drew Barrymore has signed on to play the role of a Greenpeace activist in the film. Ken Kwapis of “He’s Just Not That Into You” is set to direct. Additional casting information and dates for “Everybody Loves Whales” have not been announced but one would think a quick turnaround is to be expected in order to capitalize on the success of other oceanic awareness films like “The Cove.”

Everybody’s fine is the story of a man (Robert De Niro) who realize that his only connections to his Four Children was his now dead wife. Not listening to his doctor advice to stay home he proceed to travel to pay each of his Children a visit. The movie
although a little long to start is good. The main actor Robert De Niro is giving a good performance as usual although its not usually his type of movies (I’m used to him in action movies, everybody’s fine is a drama) I happened to like him in drama as well. The story of the movie itself is good and sometimes sad. The movie is lead by well known and good actors such as Robert De Niro, Kate Beckinsale & Drew Barrymore who is as usual beautiful and amazing.

The only thing tho is that I would have love to see more scenes of Kate & Drew and a bit more of special features on the DVD (I love those) but in general the movie was enjoyable and nice.

A pair of award winners — recent Golden Globe recipient Drew Barrymore ( “Grey Gardens”) and comedian Wanda Sykes, who took home an Emmy as a writer for “The Chris Rock Show” — will add new honors to their respective mantles courtesy of the Los Angeles presentation of the 21st Annual GLAAD Media Awards on April 17 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza. Barrymore will be presented with the Vanguard Award, which is given to media professionals who have increased the visibility and understanding of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, for her turn in the GLAAD Media Award-nominated “Everything’s Fine” and for her commitment to marriage equality issues.
