If things seem a little crazy at Cinematical this week, it's because our esteemed Eic, Erik Davis, and his lovely wife Jocelyn are welcoming their first baby! The adorable Zoe Sophia Davis was born this past Saturday, 7 pounds 2 ounces, and perfectly flawless in every way. (Erik totally denies that Zoe was named for the Gina Torres character in Firefly, but I'm pushing that rumor just so Whedonesque.com picks the story up.) Please join the Cinematical / Moviefone / Horror & SciFi Squad family in congratulating Erik and Jocelyn and welcoming a tiny new movie geek to the world!

One request from the proud papa: What should Zoe's First movie be? (He refused to ask me for fear I'd say Friday the 13th or something.)Filed under: Site Announcements
