DVD Review - A Good Old Fashioned Orgy (2011)
15 May 2012 11:35 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
A Good Old Fashioned Orgy, 2011.
Directed by Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck.
Starring Jason Sudeikis, Leslie Bibb, Lake Bell, Michelle Borth, Nick Kroll, Tyler Labine, Lindsay Sloane, Lucy Punch, Will Forte and Don Johnson.
Synopsis:
When his father announces that he's selling his beach house, a thirty-something party animal famous for throwing lavish themed summer parties at the property decides to go out with a proverbial bang, organising a good old fashioned orgy for his close circle of friends.
For a film called A Good Old Fashioned Orgy, the output either needs to be outrageously sexual or ridiculously funny. This film turns out, eventually, to be neither.
The film starts off so promisingly, delivering a stream of constant laughs and one-liners from the cream of some of American TV’s top sitcoms such as The League, Children’s Hosptial, and 30 Rock, and combines a nice commentary and outlook on friendship, »

Exclusive: Saturday Night Live alumna Michaela Watkins has been cast in ABC’s comedy pilot Prairie Dogs.

Watkins, repped by CAA, Flutie Entertainment and attorney Patti Felker, will play Imogene, supervisor of the programming department who tries to make up for her loneliness and deficiencies in her own life by ruling the programming department with an iron fist.

David Wain Makes Out with (a Lot of) Women, Releases DVD
14 February 2012 10:51 AM, PST | Tubefilter.com | See recent Tubefilter News news »
David Wain’s original web series about his (slightly) fictionalized adventures in life and love in Brownstone, Brooklyn just ended its latest (Fiat-sponsored) season. That makes for one season of Wainy Days every year since producer and distributor My Damn Channel first released the series back in 2007. So, that adds up to a total of five seasons, 39 episodes, one laundry list of stellar special guests (including Elizabeth Banks, Lake Bell, Julie Bowen, Saffron Burrows, Rob Corddry, Rashida Jones, Megan Mullally, Nick Offerman, Amanda Peet, Elizabeth Reaser, Paul Rudd and Jason Sudeikis) and enough awkward make out sessions and other sexual suggestive scenes to fill a YouTube video with three minutes and 43 seconds of inelegant intimacy. Wain and the good people at My Damn Channel cut together a Makeout MegaMix for your viewing enjoyment, to celebrate Valentine's Day, and to promote the just released Wainy Days DVD. The steamy action is »

[Sundance '12] Interview: 'Black Rock' Director and Star Katie Aselton
7 February 2012 9:36 PM, PST | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »
Black Rock (review) sold to Ld Entertainment immediately following its first midnight screening in the Sundance Film Festival's Park City at Midnight Category. Directed by Katie Aselton, the film stars Aselton, Lake Bell and Kate Bosworth as three friends on a camping trip who run afoul of three hunters who turn violent. It becomes a gritty fight to survive in the woods. By Thursday of Sundance, Aselton was as exhausted as we were. She even offered to have a snuggle session instead of an interview, but I wasn't smooth enough to take her up on it so I just went with a normal interview. Some spoilers follow in our talk, but they're good spoilers about violence and nudity! »
Aselton Discusses Necessary Nudity with Kate Bosworth and Lake Bell in Black Rock
7 February 2012 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »
Director and star of this Summer's thriller 'Black Rock' Katie Aselton has been sharing her experiences in front and behind the camera for her new survival feature. Whilst chatting with EW Aselton she revealed just how revealing it gets in the movie with our troubled trio of lovelies Lake Bell, Kate Bosworth ('Straw Dogs') and the director herself. In the interview (available at the link below) she reveals that the extended and necessary nude scene in the movie was used for several reasons, one of them being an homage to the sexploitation flicks of yesteryear. Alana Costello, Jay Paulson and Anslem Richardson also star in the new feature. Sundance movie 'Black Rock', which was penned by Mark Duplass, is expecting a Summer debut. »

Sundance Video Interview: Black Rock's Kate Bosworth, Lake Bell And Katie Aselton
28 January 2012 4:11 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Katie Aselton brought her debut film as a director to Sundance two years ago, premiering the low-budget, sweet and simple romantic comedy The Freebie. For her second effort she decided it was time to step things up, and though she still stars in her latest film in addition to directing, she's made a thriller that takes place entirely outdoors, features actual movie stars in Kate Bosworth and Lake Bell, and covers a whole lot of action that's bigger than anything you might have seen in The Freebie. In Black Rock Aselton, Bell and Bosworth play three childhood friends who travel to a remote Maine island for a reunion, only to find their trip completely derailed by an accident that leads to them being hunted down by some off-kilter hunters bent on revenge. The movie was picked up for distribution by Ld Entertainment almost immediately after premiering, which means that audiences »

Sundance 2012: Katie Aselton talks chilling nude scenes in 'Black Rock'
28 January 2012 10:13 AM, PST | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Men are trying to kill them, and the women hiding in the woods are huddled together, completely nude and desperate.
They’re hugging each other for warmth after splashing through water that has soaked their clothes and, on such a cold night, could soon plunge them into hypothermia.
But this is also the moment Black Rock, a girls-in-trouble Sundance thriller starring Katie Aselton, Lake Bell, and Kate Bosworth, joins its sexy let’s-get-the-actors’-clothes-off sensibilities, with something a lot more intense.
“On the next level, really, that’s where the girls start to turn primal,” says Aselton, who also directed. »

Sundance 2012 Review: Black Rock Doesn't Quite Roll
26 January 2012 10:26 PM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
In her first directorial turn, actress Katie Aselton impressed indie audiences with her relationship comedy The Freebie. Looking to go in a completely different direction with her sophomore effort, Aselton and husband Mark Duplass worked up the outline for a survival thriller. Duplass wrote a screenplay and the indie finance engine that the Duplass Bros. have nurtured kicked into high gear. Less than one year later, we have Black Rock. While this deserted island chiller has some good moments, it's hard to walk away without thinking that just a bit more time in development could have made this a much better movie. Things begin when Sarah (Kate Bosworth) goes to great trouble to assemble her two best friends Abby (Aselton) and Lou (Lake Bell) »
Sundance 2012 Review: ‘Black Rock’ Slams With Girl Power Gumption and Guts
26 January 2012 7:13 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Multi-hyphenate Katie Aselton returns to Sundance with her second film, a much different outing than her gorgeous and melancholy 2010 entry, The Freebie. This time around, Aselton has ceded writing duties to her husband, Mark Duplass, and the pair have made what will likely be referred to as “Deliverance for girls” for many years to come. But Black Rock is a twisty little horror outing that perhaps shares more with The Freebie than might be obvious from first blush. Both films hinge on interpersonal relationships, the confusion of behavioral signals and perceptions, and mistakes that have far-reaching consequences. Yet, Black Rock is most certainly a thriller and a genre picture, and its wooded island setting, thumping soundtrack (with remarkably sage picks from The Kills), and grim plotline only serve to show how well Aselton can cross genres with style. The film is centered on a trio of women, friends since childhood who were fractured years before by a »

How The Brits Rocked America: Go West
9pm, BBC4
Among the many unhelpfully high watermarks set by the Beatles was the idea that it was possible to "break America" – that's to say, for a group to create the same drama and impact in the Us as they had done in the cinemas and bingo halls of the UK. The info available for this three-part series leans rather colonially on the "British Invasion" angle, but there were many ways to be received: greeted at the airport like the Beatles, welcomed at the festival like the Who, or run out of town on a rail, like the Sex Pistols.

Planet Fury's Sundance Crush: Katie Aselton's 'Black Rock'
26 January 2012 11:54 AM, PST | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
The 2012 Sundance Film Festival rolls on in full force. And amid all the hype surrounding deal-making and the discussion of alternative distribution paths, it's easy to forget that there's a crop of interesting movies on the slate and that's what Sundance is really all about.
Among the most compelling films this year are director Colin Trevorrow's Safety Not Guaranteed, a time-travel comedy starring Kristen Bell, Aubrey Plaza and Jake Johnson; Don Coscarelli's John Dies at the End, a horror-comedy starring Chase Williamson, Paul Giamatti and Clancy Brown; and V/H/S, a found-footage horror anthology from directors Adam Wingard, David Bruckner, Ti West, Glenn McQuaid, Joe Swanberg and Radio Silence.
But the film we're most interested in this year is Black Rock, a flick that sounds like it was made for all the people that loved The Descent, but would've loved it more had it been directed by »

Women In Film and Sundance launch a project to help women filmmakers
26 January 2012 8:46 AM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Since the announcement of Academy Award nominations earlier this week, much has been written about the fact that no women directors are on the list for best director or best picture. Again. The "Bigelow Effect"— the expected rise in the number of female-directed films after Kathryn Bigelow won best director two years ago — never happened.
In fact, the number of women directors in Hollywood went down from 7% in 2009 and 2010 to 5% in 2011. And that's just one depressing statistic. Check out Melissa Silverstein's article at Women and Hollywood for a behind-the-scenes look at the employment numbers. It's not a pretty picture.
The Sundance Institute and Women In Film have decided to work together to do something about the situation. They announced Monday that they plan to track the female filmmakers who are showing films at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival (happening this week) and will use the results to increase the presence of »
