"You must control... you almost killed your daughter." IFC Midnight has debuted the first official trailer for an indie possession horror titled Welcome to Mercy, from filmmaker Tommy Bertelsen. The story follows a single mother named Madaline who begins to experience symptoms of the stigmata, so she seeks the help of a local priest and nun to help her understand what is seen and unseen, and hopefully avoid becoming the new antichrist. She ends up at a remote covenant. Kristen Ruhlin stars and wrote the screenplay for this indie horror. It also features Lily Newmark, Eva Ariel Binder, Eileen Davies, Victoria Sokolova, Danis Grube, Toms Liepajnieks, Sophia Massa, and Ieva Seglina. Possession films are getting more and more redundant, but this looks like it gets super intense once she meets up with these relentless nuns. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Tommy Bertelsen's Welcome to Mercy, from YouTube:...

From left: Annie (Lucia Micarelli), Davis (Steve Zahn), and Janette (Kim Dickens). George W. Bush showed up on Treme as late in the game, relatively speaking, as he did in post-Katrina New Orleans. Last night’s episode, “At the Foot of Canal Street,” featured a clip of the President’s 2005 speech in front of Jackson Square, almost two weeks after the storm, about the importance of rebuilding the city. But the show’s main characters are doing a fine job of that themselves. With the possible exception of chef Janette Desautel, whose gas lines aren’t working and whose romantic prospects consist solely of self-righteous loafer Davis McAlary, every character’s storyline has taken an upward turn. Antoine Batiste’s lip seems to have healed from the random police beating he took last episode. But his trombone is missing (shoulda had a case, Batiste) and his teeth—and thus his embouchure—are still messed up.
