Peter Krause Slums It With An Olsen Twin

7 July 2009 8:39 AM, PDT | From cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news

Ohhh Peter Krause, I want only good things for you. I loved you so much on Six Feet Under, even though Nate was kind of a narcissist , and even though I didn't watch Dirty Sexy Money I wanted it to succeed for your sake. But I'm really not sure I can get behind this-- Krause has joined the cast of Beastly, a movie that already stars-- sigh-- Mary-Kate Olsen and Vanessa Hudgens. The story, according to Variety, is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, starring Alex Pettyfer as a guy who plays a prank on a classmate without realizing she's a witch. Hilariously, the witch is played by Olsen, who has spent the last few years perfecting her bag lady style. Krause will be playing the dad of the kid, who I assume will be turned into a beast and then, maybe, kidnap Hudgens and make her life in

Shooting is under way in Montreal. Daniel Barnz is directing his scripted adaptation of the novel, a retelling of "Beauty and the Beast."

Set in Manhattan, the movie tells the story of a handsome rich kid with a mean streak. When he ditches a date, a curse is placed upon him, turning him into everything he hates.

6 July 2009 11:35 PM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

Six Feet Under star Peter Krause is the latest to join the CBS Films adaptation of Alex Finn's novel, Beastly.

Variety reports that the actor will join a cast that includes Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical, Sucker Punch), Mary-Kate Olsen (The Wackness, Full House), Alex Pettyfer (Tormented), and Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser, M.D).

Krause will play the materialistic father of a rich, handsome teen (Pettyfer) who plays a cruel joke on a classmate not knowing she's a witch (Olsen). Shooting is currently taking place in Montreal.

For those curious about the storyline, Amazon.com had this to say about the book:

A beast. Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright—a creature with fangs and claws and hair springing from every pore. I am a monster.

You think I'm talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City.

Why HBO's 'True Blood' Bites

1 July 2009 9:15 PM, PDT | From CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news

I was late to the party that is HBO’s True Blood, now in its second season, but once I sunk my teeth into its ample charms, I needed a regular fix. The vampire drama had quickly built an appreciative audience that I was reluctant to join. Why? For starters, Alan Ball had already seen huge success with Six Feet Under, and before that, American Beauty. Surely his luck had run out. More importantly, I was of the opinion that the vampire story was long dead, devoid of fresh ideas or novel approach. How wrong I was!

The premise of True Blood is simple but boundless in the ideas that it inspires: a Japanese corporation has invented synthetic blood (called TruBlood) and this invention means that vampires can walk among us — rather than prey upon us — if they so choose. The vampire race are subjected to bigotry and bias like any other,

Jaleel White Makes ‘Road to the Altar’ A Promising Union

29 June 2009 9:36 AM, PDT | From Tilzy.tv | See recent Tilzy.TV news

Sometime during your twenties, you’ll become aware that you’ve been asked to plan or attend more bridal showers and bachelor/ette parties than you ever thought possible. Who among us has not participated in group bitching sessions about the costs, hangovers, and time eating responsibilities involved in supporting friends during the precious days leading up their betrothal? If you’re unmarried and watching Road To The Altar, you may also realize that if you’ve only planned a pre-wedding bash, you never knew how easy you had it. Road To The Altar, which cleverly satarizes wedding fever and the overblown industry surrounding it, is Mwg Entertainment’s newest web series (earlier this year they brought us My Two Fans, an inventive series about dating in Los Angeles). Co-stars Jaleel White (Urkel lives!!) and Leyna Juliet Webber (Six Feet Under) play an engaged couple embarking on the stressful journey that is modern wedding planning.

Hung Comes Up Flaccid

26 June 2009 9:38 AM, PDT | From Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news

First let me apologize in advance for my not-so-subtle innuendo throughout this piece. After watching the first four episodes of Hung, I'm still wondering if those lay-up innuendos will end up being the most this show has to offer. The show has been touted as HBO's next big dark comedy. And for me, that means it should grab my attention simply because I'm praying that it will be the next Six Feet Under. The jury is still out on whether it packs enough meat to keep me tuned in for the entire season. At first glance, a show called Hung which chronicles the life of a well-endowed, yet financially troubled high school basketball coach who is struggling to provide for his children sounds entertaining, right? I was excited. I was hoping for an off the wall series of absurd circumcisions...

True Blood - Season 2 Review, Episode 3 & 4 Preview

26 June 2009 12:18 AM, PDT | From iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news

 True Blood was one the biggest surprises for genre fans last year. While vampires are a genre staple they'd stuck in the teeny-bopper crypt. The vampire genre got Buffy'd, it got Cullen'd, relegated to the domain of sad, awkward fangirls and the shower-deprived boys that love them. Who would have thought True Blood would be any different? Not if you've read the novels. The Charlaine Harris penned books are remarkably silly as I discovered when I tried to read one after falling for the series. I remember the moment I knew True Blood was something different. It came when I asked a young Twilight fan if they were following the show. "Oh...I watched it once, but...my mom...my mom won't let me watch that show anymore." Thank you Alan Ball, the talent behind American Beauty and Six Feet Under. Finally a show about vampires that's not just super sexy and adult oriented,

October Country Review

25 June 2009 1:11 PM, PDT | From Spout.com | See recent Spout news

October Country, Donal Mosher and Michael Palmieri’s debut documentary feature describing a year in the lives of four generations of Moshers living in a depressed upstate New York suburb, is a rare work of impressionistic nonfiction. Its patchwork of visual detail often reminded me of the photographs of Gregory Crewdson (whose work you might have seen on the cover of this Yo La Tengo album, or this Six Feet Under campaign). Crewdson’s work usually imbues suburban and domestic scenes with the aura of the supernatural; nothing actually horrific is visible in ...

Notes & Queeries: The Allure of the Lesbian Vampire

23 June 2009 9:02 PM, PDT | From AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news

Notes & Queeries is a monthly column that focuses on the personal side of pop culture for lesbians and bisexual women.

As any regular AfterEllen.com reader knows, the number of lesbian and bisexual female characters on scripted television in the United States tends to hover in the low single digits.

In movie theaters, we have even less to cheer for. Hollywood barely manages to make films with interesting women characters, much less lesbian or bisexual ones. Independent film, niche television programming and internet video are all doing their part to raise the visibility of lesbians/bisexual women in entertainment.

But the fact is, we also need mainstream visibility. And this year, for better or worse, our best hope for mainstream visibility may lie in the lesbian vampire.

This past spring, the dreadfully reviewed horror-comedy Lesbian Vampire Killers attempted to update the campy exploitation films of the 1970s such as Daughters
