Spring, the latest acquisition by Drafthouse Films explores the relationship between two people and how that relationship is affected when one of them turns out to be, quite literally, a monster. Part love story, part horror film, with a little bit of Italian travelogue thrown in to the mix with the fantastic visuals, it tells the age old story of boy meets girl, boy courts girl, and boy experiences the extreme possibility of being eaten by girl. We’ve all been there.
Read MoreBarbara Crampton (2014)
If you grew up on 1980s horror films, as I certainly did, then you are definitely familiar with the concept of the Scream Queen. When you saw that a film would be starring Linnea Quigley or Brinke Stevens or Michelle Bauer, you knew exactly what you were getting into and you knew that you would be having a blast. One of my personal favorites, and one that always appears on any ‘Greatest Scream Queen’ list would have to be Barbara Crampton.
Read MoreNicolas Cage (2014)
In this first installment of our series of chats with the cast and crew of Left Behind, we open with Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage about why he got involved in a project this divisive and how his own personal familial experiences help inform his choices as an actor.
Read MoreUwe Boll (2014)
Last year, right around this time, I had the pleasure to speak with Uwe Boll – easily one of the most divisive and often derided, but also hardest working, filmmakers out there right now - about the release of his film Assault on Wall Street. Now, as he gears up for the release of his latest film, a follow-up to 2011’s Rampage entitled Rampage 2: Capital Punishment, I sat down with the ever outspoken Boll again to discuss the new film, the oft-debated topic of gun control, and what the future holds for our country and his career.
Read MoreSteven Knight (2014)
Screenwriter Steven Knight is one of the most respected and prolific scribes in Hollywood, having penned Eastern Promises, Amazing Grace, and Dirty Pretty Things, for which he was Oscar-nominated. For the 2013 film Redemption he also began a career as a director. His latest writing/directing effort, Locke is an engrossing story of a man taking a car ride that will change his life forever.
Read MoreNeil Breen (2014)
Ever on the hunt for the next great “cult classic,” I recently stumbled upon Fateful Findings. Written, directed, produced by, and starring Neil Breen, it only took about a minute into the film for me to discover that I was watching something special that had more to offer than the typical film billed as “The next The Room.” I urge you to check it out for yourself now, because in a year or two, everyone will be talking about it and you’ll be able to say that you were one of the first to see it.
Read MoreCrispin Glover (2014)
Crispin Glover has been an actor for over 30 years, most famously appearing in films like Back to the Future, Charlie’s Angels, Friday the 13: The Final Chapter, Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, The River’s Edge, Bartleby, and Willard. He’s also currently working on directing his third film, preceded by his unique and beautiful first two features What Is It? and It is Fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE. I recently had a chance to chat with Crispin about his role in new film The Bag Man, the touring of his directorial efforts, and many other aspects of his career.
Read MoreZoë Bell (2014)
New Zealand actress/stuntwoman Zoë Bell has doubled for many action heroes over the years, including Lucy Lawless in Xena: Warrior Princess and Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. Over the last few years, she has made a career-transition into becoming a full-time actress in such projects as Lost, Whip It, and, perhaps most famously, as herself in Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof. Mixing equal parts toughness, beauty, natural acting chops, and charisma, she’s put all of those qualities on display in her latest movie, Raze, about a group of women who have been imprisoned and forced to fight for their lives and the lives of their loved ones.
