Mingling in my movie mind today are Roger Corman, Michael McCallum and Shane Hagedorn. That's a talented-but-quirky bunch.

Corman is the master of micro-budget filmmaking. Now, at 83, he emerges with:

-- His latest movie production. "Dinoshark" debuts March 13 on cable's Syfy.

-- The Academy Awards, on March 7. Corman has already received his honorary award, so he'll probably have to settle for waving from the audience.
