Looks like American enfant terrible Larry Clark is finally stepping up to the plate after a long absence. Independent French cinema group mk2 recently sat down with documentary producers Gérard Lacroix and Pierre-Paul Puljiz, and the two revealed they would be involved in the new project from the often-controversial filmmaker behind "Kids," entitled "The Smell Of Us." Puljiz, who centered doc "Larry Clark, Great American Rebel" on the director, met with Lacroix after he expressed desire in adapting Clark's novel "Tulsa."
There's not much to go on in terms of plot, but the idea stems from poet Mathieu Landais whom he met during an exhibition in Paris. Mostly the producers speak of their trouble getting the script to a point where it wouldn't have to be censored; an obvious hurdle for those at all familiar with the director's work ("Ken Park" starts with a public suicide and ends with a »

Terminator: Rise Of The Machines actor Nick Stahl is missing, according to La police sources. The actor was first reported missing by his wife Rose Murphy on Monday 14 May. The actor was last seen on Wednesday 9 May. Stahl appears in several of Total Film's favorite films, including Bully, The Thin Red Line and Sin City, but is perhaps best known for playing John Connor in the third installment of the Terminator franchise. He's next set to take the lead in The Unknown Son, playing Noah Prentice, a man who uses a mysterious tattoo on his wrist...

In his most recent film, Nick Stahl plays a man looking for his missing wife. In a bizarre real-life parallel, Stahl is now missing. While police continue their search for the 32-year-old actor, who was last seen on May 9, the director of 388 Arletta Avenue says he saw no signs of trouble when he shot the thriller with Stahl in Toronto a year and a half ago. "He was fantastic - not a single problem," director Randall Cole tells People. "He was a total professional and knew his lines. There was no diva behavior at all." Nor was there any hint »

Nick Stahl has gone missing, according to various online sources citing a police report filed by his wife. Stahl’s wife hasn’t heard from her estranged husband in five days. She says Stahl, 32, was last seen in the vicinity of downtown Los Angeles’ Skid Row on May 9. Stahl, who reportedly has serious drug issues, has suffered a series of setbacks in the recent past. For starters, Fox passed on the Mark Romanek-directed Locke & Key in spring 2011. After refusing to pay for a cab ride, Stahl spent a night in jail last January. That same month, he and his wife separated. She later requested to the court that his visits to their two-year-old daughter be monitored, and that Stahl be tested for drug use 24 hours before seeing the infant. Among Nick Stahl’s most important film roles are those in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, with Arnold Schwarzenegger »

Update: Has Stahl been found? "He does this sometimes," an eyewitness who claims he recently saw the actor told E! News. "He'll be back."
After not hearing from him for nearly a week, the wife of "Sin City" and "Carnivale" actor Nick Stahl has filed a missing persons report with the Lapd, mentioning that he was last seen on May 9 in Los Angeles's Skid Row. This discouraging news comes right after other worrisome developments, including the separation between the married couple, court-ordered drug tests prior to seeing his 2-year-old daughter, and a minor offense involving the thespian skipping a cab fare.
We don't normally do these kinds of stories -- it runs into iffy, questionable territory regarding privacy, is psuedo-gossipy and the sympathy can seem forced -- but this writer in particular is a huge fan of the artist who still hasn't gotten the project/part/spotlight he deserves.

Actor Nick Stahl—perhaps best known for his roles in Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines, Bully, and the HBO series Carnivale—has gone missing, according to a police report filed by his wife, who contacted the Lapd after not hearing from him in five days. In addition to seeing Fox pass on his much-hyped small-screen comeback in Locke And Key, Stahl has personally had a rough go of it lately: After he and his wife separated in January, she reportedly asked a court to require monitored visitation between Stahl and his 2-year-old daughter, as well as mandatory drug tests »

The darkness at the end of the tunnel is David Arquette in Black Limousine.
David Arquette (Scream 4) and Bijou Phillips (Bully) star in the 2010 drama Black Limousine, tagged by its marketers as “a ghost story set in the city of dreams.”
Jack MacKenzie (Arquette), once a hot Hollywood composer, has fallen on hard times, a feeling fueled by alcoholism. Having resorted to taking a draining job as a limo driver just to make ends meet, Jack catches a break when he is assigned to drive A-List Actor Thomas Bower (Nicholas Bishop (TV’s Body of Proof) back-and-forth to the set of his latest film, during which time the two build a friendship of sorts. Bower appears interested and willing to help re-establish Jack, who also strikes up a sexually charged relationship with model-singer Erica Long (Phillips) who is struggling with her own problems. »

Three of this week's releases have more than a little 90s vibe to them. "Titanic" is back on the big screen, Jason Biggs is doing things that no one really wants to see, and a 90s auteur makes his long-awaited return. The movies also make for some great 90s pairing, so if you're interested in a perfect complement to your weekend of nostalgia, check out this week's Double Feature Friday.
"Titanic 3D" & "Tomorrow Never Dies"
On December 19, 1997, three new films debuted. One was a minor Gore Verbinski work called "Mouse Hunt" with Nathan Lane and Lee Evans. (How was that not a smash?) The other two were James Cameron's "Titanic" and Pierce Brosnan's second James Bond movie "Tomorrow Never Dies." One went on to become the highest grossing movie of all time. The other faded in with the rest of the 007 cannon, seen largely as lesser than "GoldenEye. »

While it’s not a topic that’s foreign to the silver screen (see any John Hughes movie or Larry Clark’s Bully or Jacob Aaron Estes’ Mean Creek), bullying is a subject that has been generally glossed over, never examined that thoroughly.
Cue Lee Hirsch‘s documentary Bully, a simple, precise and affecting film concerning the effects of The Bully, that infamous villain that we’ve all played or encountered, be it in big ways or small, at some point in our adolescence. The subjects examined in Hirsch’s film are the most extreme victims of this trend; young kids, ranging from 11 to 17-years old, and the physical and psychological turmoil mostly nameless bullies put them through day in and day out.
Alex, the relative anchor of the film, is a young 12-year old in a Sioux City, Iowa middle school who faces constant ridicule from a group of »

It's a horror story that any movie fan can relate to, Twi-Hard or not: You're watching TV and you see the name of your favorite movie listed on your channel guide, only to flip over and discover that the "Twilight" they're showing doesn't have Edward and Jacob battling for the love of Bella-- but instead Gene Hackman and Paul Newman fighting over Susan Sarandon.
You were just punked by Same Name Syndrome.
It happens often. In fact, between this week and last there have been two movies opening with the same titles as memorable previous ones: the Rachel Weisz romantic drama "The Deep Blue Sea," which is a far cry from the shark-infested "Sea" where Samuel L. Jackson got eaten, and the message documentary "Bully," which does not bear any resemblence to a Larry Clark movie.

Impact Wrestling – Feb 24th 2012
The “Insane Icon,” is “Done.”
The most hyped story this week was Sting saying On Twitter that he was “Done.” Not via Tna TV or anything, Via Twitter. Because that’s how professionals deal with major announcements these days. Robert Roode announced early in the show that Sting was going to appear. Thing is that since they announced Roode’s title match against Storm was going to be at the PPV in April rather than the next one in March, they made it a bit obvious that something was going to go down at Victory Road in March. Otherwise why wouldn’t the title match just happen at Victory Road?
In the closing segment Sting came out as promised to address the Tweet that shook the world. Roode made his second appearance of the night to interrupt. Sting immediately converted over to Whacky Insane Icon Sting »

Impact Wrestling – Feb 15th 2012
Bobby Roode retained successfully at Against All Odds so he rightfully was the main focus of the show this week. Although you have to question why he made Christy introduce him twice, he must be a glutton for punishment. He also rightfully pointed out that it’s Sting’s own fault he is still champion. The “Insane Icon” didn’t like this and so hit the ring and put him in a No Dq, No Time Limit match against Jeff Hardy in the first match. Is anyone still drug testing Jeff? Only someone on drugs could devise such terrible entrances and face paint every week. Either way, they had a decent opening match which even had a few spots around the stage and ramp. Hardy was all over Roode for the majority, and only lost when Kurt Angle made a return and threw Jeff into the steps. »

Tna Impact Wrestling! 26th January 2011
As always, last week gets recapped. But you read that last week right? Right!?
We pick up backstage where Jeff Hardy is beating down Bully Ray in that are that they always seem to be taking photos. They brawl past that with some terribly unrealistic punches and out to another backstage area. Just in time, Roode pulls up in his beautiful white truck and jumps Hardy with Bully. Bully drops a piece of wood on Jeff’s leg that looks like it weighs less than a sponge. They throw him in the back of the truck, but then James Storm comes out of nowhere and gets involved. He throws Storm through a barricade then smacks Bully with a Plastic bottle. I should note there’s a lot of needless grunting going on. Then, Sting comes into the picture and takes a bat to Roode’s stomach. »

Tna Impact Wrestling! 22nd January 2012
Last week, Bully Ray helped Bobby Roode retain again against Jeffrey Hardy. And this week, out first is James Storm with his Mickie James like entrance music/video. He’s number one contender now. He tells Kurt hes the greatest wrestler but he was better then threatens to whoop Roode’s ass. “Sorry about your damn…” He’s cut off by Jeff Hardy’s music and the Rainbow Emo himself comes to the ring. “I got screwed at the PPV, I got screwed last week.” He tells Storm nobody gets a shot until he gets his final encounter. Storm says a few months ago He got screwed. “You’d think with all this screwing he’d have a lot of child support to pay.” Before we can digest that thought, Roode comes out with a mic. He’s flattered at the attention but reminds Storm »

Tna Impact Wrestling!
12/1/11
Bobby Roode is still your Tna Champion after Genesis, and he’s gracing us with his presence. As the fans chant “Hardy,” Roode tells us he’s the most dominant champion in the history of Impact! Roode says he’s not going to embarrass him anymore, and brings him out to “humbly accept his defeat” and shake Roode’s hand. Instead it’s Sting’s music that plays and out comes the Icon. Sting and Roode share some weird caveman insults which somehow garners a “Spank his butt” chant from the crowd. Sting calls Roode out for getting intentionally disqualified and tells him tonight he defends again against Jeff Hardy! Sting is out, and Roode throws a tantrum.

Tna Impact Wrestling!
5/1/11
This weeks Impact begins with Sting coming to the ring. I love how no matter what other clothes hes wearing he never forgets his skeleton gloves. I once knew a Goth like that. Sting calls out another man reliving his teenage years, Jeff Hardy. If he ever left them that is. Sting tells him hes been impressed lately. Jeff Hardys face is half painted, half not. Sting says he once took his second chance and made something of it, just like Jeff Hardy is now. “There’s creatures out there that adore you and look up to you.” Some of his fans are definitely creatures. Hardy chant amongst them now as Sting gives Jeff his full 100% Endorsement. This brings out Roode, Angle and Bully Ray. They get in the ring and call him out on endorsing Jeff Hardy and that not being fair and square. He accuses »
