Eddie Izzard, my favorite British standup comic, has once again proved himself a completely cool guy by completing 43 marathons in seven weeks as part of a demanding charity run.

According to the Associated Press, Izzard, 47, finished his 1,100-mile trek across Britain on Tuesday, stumbling across the finish line at London’s rain-soaked Trafalgar Square.

Ben Barnes reprises his role as Prince Caspian in “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.” Filming on the third film in the franchise started earlier this week.

“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader,” the third in the epic series of films based on the bestselling books by C.S.

“Star Trek” Week continues here at BAM’s Blog, and today I’m sharing a snippet of “Trek”-related hilarity from one of my favorite comedians, Eddie Izzard.

In his 1994 stand-up video “Unrepeatable,” Izzard performs an uproarious bit about the original “Trek” TV series. In it, he makes  fun of Dr.

The latest James Bond movie, “Quantum of Solace,” comes out on DVD today, and if you haven’t seen it, you should watch it ASAP. However, if you haven’t seen the 2006 reboot of “Casino Royale,” you should plan on a DVD double-feature, since “Quantum of Solace” picks up just minutes after “Casino Royale.”

Despite my early misgivings, Daniel Craig is an awesome Bond.

One of my favorite comedians, Eddie Izzard, is no longer on TV.

A spokesman for FX confirmed last week that the cable network has canceled “The Riches” after just two seasons, according to EW.com.

The show starred Izzard and Oscar-nominated actress Minnie Driver as a con-artist couple who assumes the identity of a wealthy pair.  Driver was nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her performance on the show.

The release date for the World War II period film “Valkyrie,” starring Tom Cruise, has once again been moved.

Variety is reporting today that MGM has moved the film back to 2008, with a new opening date of Dec. 26.

It was originally scheduled for June 27 release, then shifted to a height-of-awards-season October date and finally pushed into a new Feb.

We picked up a commemorative “Stripped” program at the Eddie Izzard show Saturday night in Austin. Most of the 18 pages in the oversize booklet were dedicated to Lorenzo Aguis’ slick and sexy photos of Izzard (love that goatee) and William Smith’s rather revealing interview with the comic.

On Saturday night, loyal reader 3D offered this comment on my post “My take: Eddie Izzard “Stripped” in Austin”:

“Who in their right mind would go to one of Eddie’s shows and then heckle? That’s just madness!”

My response:

I also couldn’t believe that not one but two people decided to just shout out from the audience during Eddie Izzard’s second of three shows this weekend in Austin.
