June 11, 2009Barron Christian has a small role in Eddie Murphy's Imagine That and a lifetime of out-of-this-world stories
How to describe the voice of Colorado-based Barron Christian, who has a small part in Imagine That, an Eddie Murphy movie shot partly in Denver that opens on Friday? It's a deep baritone delivered warmly and confidently -- and there's a cadence to his vowels that gives his sentences incredible richness. He did the voiceover for a Jaguar commercial in which the only words spoken are the name of the car and two short sentences: "I drive one. Don't you think it's time?" It's the sort of voice th
June 10, 2009A salute to the "Tiny" movie career of another Colorado character actor
Last week, Governor Bill Ritter signed a bill authorizing the creation -- re-creation, actually -- of the Colorado Office of Film, Television and Media. Such an operation is desperately needed, as witnessed by the dearth of big-time productions that shoot in these parts. Indeed, Imagine That, an Eddie Murphy effort that's finally slated for release this Friday, is the most recent major-studio feature to film in Denver for a substantial amount of time -- and the crew left town in October 2007.

June 10, 2009Wake-Up Call: Just imagine that
The film stories keep unrolling in Denver, where the Denver Film Society is trying to rebuild after a morale-deadening miss at installing a new executive director, and the just re-established state film office starts the process of luring moviemakers to Colorado. Still, as Imagine That, the Eddie Murphy filmed here two years (as Nowhereland) and released today proves: Moviemakers may return to Colorado, but there's no guarantee they'll make good movies here.
June 12, 2009Nation's critics give Eddie Murphy's Denver-filmed flick two thumbs sideways
Eddie Murphy going down the tube in "Imagine That." As Patricia Calhoun implies in this morning's Wake-Up Call, Imagine That, the new Eddie Murphy flick, much of which was filmed in Denver circa 2007, hasn't exactly enraptured those film reviewers still fortunate enough to have a job. Metacritic.com, a website that compiles critiques from a variety of sources and then averages them to arrive at an overall score, awards the picture a 54 out of 100 -- better than Obsessed (which garnered a 25) an
June 12, 2009Imagine That: Denver-filmed movie's flop seals fate of movie executives
Eddie Murphy's "Imagine That" went down the tubes -- and so did the jobs of two Paramount executives. Just as Colorado is belatedly trying to become friendlier to Hollywood moviemakers via the re-establishment of the state's Office of Film, Television and Media, the most recent studio flick to be shot in these parts -- Eddie Murphy's Imagine That, which cost around $55 million to put on screen -- is shaping up to be the biggest bomb of the season, earning only an estimated $11 million or so as
June 22, 2009Made-in-Colorado film Entanglement debuts tonight
An image from the Ed Bowes film "Entanglement." The last major Hollywood movie filmed in Colorado was Eddie Murphy's Imagine That, which prompted yawns from most critics and scored so poorly at the box office that it may well have led to the firing of two top executives at Paramount, the studio that produced it. But independent pictures continue to be made in these parts, with one such example -- Entanglement -- set to premiere tonight at the ATLAS Center for Arts, Media and Performance at the
June 26, 2009Barron Christian and the continuing disaster of Imagine That
Turns out Denver has a much smaller role in Imagine That than we originally thought. As you may recall, three weeks worth of filming for the Eddie Murphy flick took place right here in our Mile High home. And although you can still see a helicopter shot of the city and catch a glimpse of Melo talking to Allen Iverson, many of Denver's scenes were cut entirely, including the sequence in the Brown Palace Hotel's Palace Arms restaurant starring our friend Barron Christian. According to the Co
