ASSIGNMENT X: When did you realize people were really responding to the THURSDAY books? JASPER FFORDE: Well, [THE EYRE AFFAIR] did extraordinarily for the kind of book that it is, a fantasy mish-mash cross-genre book.

Written by newcomer Kevin Williamson and directed by genre vet Wes Craven, they created a scary horror film once again  – it also poked fun at its conventions. It […]Read On »

Interview: THE LINCOLN LAWYER composer Cliff Martinez lays down the law

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER |
Composer Cliff Martinez

If there’s a rhythm of the heat to the underworld, and those legally profiting from it, then it would likely be the sound of Cliff Martinez’s undulating, darkly ethereal beats. It’s a dangerous vibe caught between sinister grooves and the existential feel of psyches caught in a moral morass- almost as if Martinez was hearing them trying to swim to redemption- whether they be a revenge-consumed LIMEY, the guilt-riddled cops of NARC and VICE, or the tapestry of drug-affected characters in TRAFFIC. Now Martinez literally picks up that beautifully menacing drive again with THE LINCOLN LAWYER, its passenger’s conflicted soul […]Read On »

While The CW has made its mark with SUPERNATURAL and THE VAMPIRE DIARIES and found great success with their genre-bending formulas, they really haven’t proven to be the heir to the BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER teen angst throne that Joss Whedon created so expertly on that landmark series. Well, there’s a good chance MTV’s TEEN WOLF could be the heir apparent. Based on the the horrendous (but cult) 1985 film starring Michael J. Fox, the new genre series owes more to BUFFY than that silly retro comedy. Tyler Posey is Scott McCall, an average high school student who is bitten […]Read On »

For werewolf Josh (Sam Huntington), it’s panic time when girlfriend Nora (Kristen Hager) tells him she’s pregnant – not because he doesn’t want commitment, but because he’s afraid he’s passing along his wolf genes (which he still hasn’t told Nora about). Ghost Sally (Meaghan Rath) has an unpleasant […]Read On »

The series picks up six months after the invasion as a disparate group of people band together for survival and to stand and fight for humanity’s survival.
