Stars: Rebekah Brandes, Daniel Bonjour, Greg Cirulnick, Mandell Maughan, Justin Baric, Brea Grant, Lee Main, Arthur Roberts Writers: Mark Garbett and Jack Messitt Director: Jack Messitt Distributor: Bigfoot Ascendant Release Date: June 14, 2011 It would be easy from the title to mistake MIDNIGHT MOVIE: THE KILLER CUT for a sequel to the original 2008 MIDNIGHT MOVIE. It is instead a director’s cut of the film, with a new commentary track from director/co-writer Jack Messitt and some enlivening extras, including a good behind the scenes look at the film’s copious makeup effects. Unless one has seen the first cut very […]Read On »

CD Review: UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT soundtrack

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER
UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT soundtrack | ©2011 Nathan Furst

Imagine a rom-com score for a meeting between Wall Street and The Mob, and you might hear the bubbly orchestral jazz of Nathan Furst. For a guy who’s usually busy scoring killer alligators and crocodiles, the melodically sparkling production values of UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT are a terrifically apt way for Furst to tell the world he’s not going to get pulled back in. The menace here is definitely of the more playful type, as a slicked back financial man about town tries to take the old family business legit, even if his Costra Nostra friends would rather break heads than […]Read On »

By RACHEL REITSLEFF 07/10/2011
Ethan Suplee, Elijah Wood and Jason Gann in WILFRED - Season 1 - "Fear" | ©2011 FX/Michael Yarish

Stars: Elijah Wood, Jason Gann, Ethan Suplee Writer: Eric Weinberg Director: Randall Einhorn Network: FX, Thursdays @ 10 PM Airdate: July 7, 2011 In WILFRED’s third episode “Fear,”  Elijah Wood remains reliably engaging as protagonist Ryan but, strangely, his relationship with Wilfred (Jason Gann) – a dog that Ryan and only Ryan sees as a man in a dog suit – is beginning to wear out its welcome. This isn’t because Gann is any less committed in his weirdly immersive performance as the anthropomorphic canine, but rather because Wilfred is objectionable. If Wilfred is just a projection of Ryan’s subconscious, […]Read On »

While accepting Dr. Donald A. Reed Award at the 37th Annual Saturn Awards presented to him by longtime collaborator Roland Emmerich, writer-director-producer Dean Devlin spoke with ASSIGNMENT X about  the fourth season of LEVERAGE (airing Sunday nights on TNT) and what to expect this summer. ASSIGNMENT X: “The 10 L’il Grifters Job” is such a great concept for a LEVERAGE episode … especially with the nod to Timothy Hutton’s dad Jim Hutton who played Ellery Queen [in the 1975 TV series of the same name]. DEAN DEVLIN: Everyone in that episode got to dress up as their favorite detective, so […]Read On »

CD Review: WHAT’S NEW PUSSYCAT / PUSSYCAT, PUSSYCAT, I LOVE YOU soundtrack (1,000 edition)

WHAT’S NEW PUSSYCAT / PUSSYCAT, PUSSYCAT, I LOVE YOU soundtrack |©2011 Quartet Records

After their superb release of THE KNACK, Quartet Records continues to go shagging in the ’60’s with this double-hander release of Burt Bacharach and Lalo Schifrin, both doing their swinging thing for the love revolution for WHAT’S NEW PUSSYCAT and its sequel PUSSYCAT, PUSSYCAT, I LOVE YOU. Where John Barry brought a fun, smooth jazz sophistication to Soho, these scores are all about pure, playful lechery. Next to turn Woody Allen into an unlikely woman killer with the aid of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass for CASINO ROYALE, Burt Bacharach is fully on his own for his first score […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: FALLING SKIES actor Will Patton isn’t skittish about the Skitters

In TNT’s new series FALLING SKIES, the survivors of an alien invasion of Earth band together to fight the marauding extraterrestrials. Sometimes, dealing with fellow humans can be almost as challenging as battling the ETs, as evidenced by the interactions between teacher-turned-freedom fighter Tom Mason, played by Noah Wyle, and experienced soldier Captain Dan Weaver, played by Will Patton. The South Carolina-born Patton has appeared in a huge amount of feature films and television series, including NO WAY OUT, 24, THE CLIENT, VR.5, REMEMBER THE TITANS and THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES, as well as many stage roles. In person, the actor […]Read On »

CD Review: ZOMBI 2 / A CAT IN THE BRAIN soundtrack

ZOMBI 2 / A CAT IN THE BRAIN soundtrack | ©2011 Beat Records

Where rock fans stateside were grooving the progressive rock of groups like Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Italian horror auteurs were using the guitar and synth vibes for far bloodier ends. And if Dario Argento was linked at the hip to the rhythmic murder operas of Goblin in DEEP RED, SUSPIRIA and DAWN OF THE DEAD, than the infinitely gorier Lucio Fulci was joined in the intestine to the creepily mod sound of Fabio Frizzi for such infamously stylish splatterfests like THE BEYOND, CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD and MANHATTAN BABY. Now Beat Records has paired Frizzi’s scores from two movies […]Read On »

Book Review: WAKING NIGHTMARES by Christopher Golden

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN 07/09/2011
WAKING NIGHTMARES by Christopher Golden | ©2011 Ace Mass Market

Writer: Christopher Golden Price: $7.99 Publisher: Ace Mass Market Paperback Original Novelist Christopher Golden began the series collectively known as THE SHADOW SAGA with OF SAINTS AND SHADOWS, published in 1994. There has been a substantial gap between the fourth tome, 2003’s THE GATHERING DARK, and the present. Now Golden has brought forth a new installment, WAKING NIGHTMARES, which should appeal equally to fans of what has come before and readers plunging into this world for the first time. Peter Octavian is a former vampire and current wizard whose successful efforts to save the world have ironically led to a […]Read On »
