Unleashed: 'Odalheim' – CD Review
30 May 2012 1:01 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
We've been deep in the world of extreme metal this spring, with new releases from death metal pioneers Cannibal Corpse, extreme groove-meisters Six Feet Under, gore-grind legends Cattle Decapitation and more. Today we're gonna dig down to the black heart of the genre and check out a powerful new record from long-standing Swedish band Unleashed, whose tales of dark forces and ancient gods are on par with any of their Scandinavian peers – but where most of those other bands have diversified their sound over the decades, this mighty unit continues to embrace the style of early '90s death and black metal to spin their epic tales of apocalyptic battles and mythical creatures. I think Unleashed deserve far more widespread »
The Legend of Hell's Gate: An American Conspiracy (2011)
29 May 2012 3:54 PM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
Directed by: Tanner Beard
Written by: Tanner Beard
Starring: Eric Balfour, Lou Taylor Pucci, Tanner Beard, Henry Thomas, Jenna Dewan, Summer Glau, Jamie Thomas King
The subtitle of The Legend of Hell’s Gate is “An American Conspiracy.” A conspiracy usually involves a large cast of characters and, in his feature debut, writer-director-star Tanner Beard draws upon local legends and has cast a legion of mid-level character actors to spin a small-scale oater epic with a proverbial cast of thousands. Beard should be commended for his ambition, but his reach far too often exceeds his grasp.
In 1876 West Texas, former thief turned railworker Jimmy (Beard) arrives in Dallas seeking his fortune and a cure for his toothache, which leads to an encounter with Doc Holliday (Jamie Thomas King) and his befriending of a local prostitute named Katherine (Jenna Dewan of The Playboy Club). Meanwhile, a posse of Confederate veterans turned »

'NYC 22's' Stark Sands: 'I would love to do a movie musical'
27 May 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Stark Sands, who plays Kenny McLaren on CBS' "NYC 22," was about 13 and traveling with his parents on a school break when he helped an older woman with her computer.
It was Anne Bancroft. "All of a sudden, Mel Brooks (the late Bancroft's husband) walked in and says, 'How ya doing, kid? Happy New Year!' " Sands says as he beams at the memory.
That was also about the same time Sands realized he wanted to be an actor.
"I did plays in elementary school," he tells Zap2it, "the same stuff everybody did. In middle school I found out not only did I like it, but I was good at it. I did the musicals and became the guy who would get the lead in the show every year."
His parents took the family from Dallas on exotic vacations, and after college in California, Sands stayed in Los Angeles, »

True Blood Co-Executive Producer Mark Hudis Replacing Alan Ball as Showrunner for Season Six
23 May 2012 10:12 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Alan Ball has been a good sport and stuck with his steamy, bloody vampire series True Blood on HBO for a few years now, but as we learned in February, the Six Feet Under creator is leaving at the end of the fifth season. Now, Deadline has word on a new deal with HBO for True Blood co-executive producer Mark Hudis to take over the reins as the main executive producer and showrunner for the cable series if it gets renewed for a sixth season, a decision that likely won't be made until at least the premiere of the fifth season on June 10th. Apparently, Hudis' new deal is for two-years and also includes a development aspect for him to create new shows on his own. Hudis has been a part of True Blood for season four and now season five and actually has a history with Ball having written »

Bobby Cannavale On Board For Woody Allen's Next Film
22 May 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Even if you don't know Bobby Cannavale by name, you've undoubtedly seen him steal a scene. The character actor and Broadway veteran, with a loud voice and a brash attitude, has done stints on TV shows like Nurse Jackie, Will & Grace and Six Feet Under, and popped up in supporting roles in the likes of Win Win, The Other Guys and even Snakes on a Plane. He's the kind of New York theater actor who might get stopped on the street on Broadway, which in a way makes him perfect to join the cast of the new film from another even bigger New York legend, Woody Allen. According to Deadline, Cannavale is joining the cast of Allen's next film, which already includes Cate Blanchett, Bradley Cooper and Alec Baldwin. And that's really pretty much all we know-- previous reports have said that Allen will shoot the new film in San »

'House's' nurse speaks: Bobbin Bergstrom on her role on and off camera
21 May 2012 1:17 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Bobbin Bergstrom has appeared on more episodes of "House" than all but five of the show's original cast members. Yet her character doesn't even have a name.
Throughout the series' eight-year run, which ends Monday (May 21), Bergstrom has been known just as "Nurse" in the credits. She is, in fact, a registered nurse, and in addition to her on-camera role she's also "House's" medical technical adviser. Her behind-the-scenes role in making sure the show's medical scenes are up to snuff and her on-camera work go hand in hand, she says.
"It works out better for the company and for me to actually be in scenes," Bergstrom tells Zap2it. "I've always been on camera -- it's something I saw as part of my package, that I can add credibility by being in it as well as doing all the consulting. ... I had worked with the producers before on another show »

DVD Review: 'True Blood' Season 4
21 May 2012 2:00 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★★☆☆ Charged with picking up the pieces of a muddled and tedious third season, True Blood Season 4 sees HBO's vampire soap opera move into fresh and new directions. Although Season 4 once again pedals the familiar heady mix of sex, gore and foul-mouthed debauchery - a staple mark of creator Alan Ball (of Six Feet Under fame) - it does try to extol some of the wheat from the proverbial chaff, with varying degrees of success.

Elizabeth Banks Will Murder Her Awful Co-Workers in Alan Ball’s ‘What’s The Matter With Margie?’
18 May 2012 7:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Co-workers! Pffft! Amirite? Yeah! You know what I mean! It looks like Elizabeth Banks feels me too, as she is set to star in Alan Ball‘s dark comedy What’s The Matter With Margie? as a “downtrodden” office drone who snaps and kills her co-workers. Fun! Deadline Henderson reports that Daniel Minahan will be directing the film, which comes from producer Balls’ own original screenplay. Not much else is known about the project at this time, but so far, it sounds like a perfect fit. Banks has long been due her own comedy vehicle, and she’s terrifyingly adept at going off the rails in hilarious fashion (her freak-out in this week’s What to Expect When You’re Expecting is one of the film’s rare bright spots, and she’s also done it in films like Wet Hot American Summer, The Details, and The 40 Year Old Virgin). Ball’s brand of dark American »

Six Feet Under: 'Undead' – CD Review
18 May 2012 4:01 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
I've lived in the extreme-music trenches for most of my life, but there are still occasions when a band will make me stop and shudder. Death metal offers quite a few of those moments, but over the years it's become so fragmented, it's now more a loose subset and harder to define. Still, there are iconic bands whose names always spring to mind, and for me, Florida unit Six Feet Under is one of them. While death metal purists consider them more of a splinter group, the band's foundation of ultra-violent horror lyrics, "death-n-roll" groove riffs and cave-troll roars has made them as memorable as many of the bands who first defined the genre – including Death, Cannibal Corpse and Obituary, whose alumni rank »
Elizabeth Banks Asks 'What's The Matter With Margie?' With Alan Ball, 'The Angriest Man In Brooklyn' Finds A Few Friends & More
18 May 2012 7:50 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Even though he scripted "American Beauty" for Sam Mendes before his two successful television shows "Six Feet Under" and "True Blood," Alan Ball has only returned to the silver screen for little-seen directorial debut "Towelhead." Last year, though, brought news that Emmy and Oscar winning writer-director (hello Egot?) was lining up a return with a dark comedy for Paramount.
While Ball has now stepped away from the director's chair for "True Blood" protégé and television vet Daniel Minahan (who came close to landing the job directing "Thor 2,") he's now found his leading lady for film in the form of the versatile Elizabeth Banks. The actress will play a stepped-on office-worker who after years of abuse snaps and resorts to murderous revenge. Lensing will begin early next year in L.A. soon after Banks team with Charlie Kaufman for his highly anticipated film industry musical satire, "Frank Or Francis." [ThompsonOnHollywood]

Elizabeth Banks To Front Alan Ball's What's The Matter With Margie
18 May 2012 7:45 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
More enticing news out of Cannes: comedienne Elizabeth Banks has just signed on to star in True Blood creator Alan Ball's next feature What's The Matter With Margie? Deadline reports Ball, who won an Oscar for his original screenplay American Beauty, penned the feature and is on board to produce; Daniel Minahan, who has helmed numerous episodes of True Blood's including its upcoming season five premiere, will direct. What's The Matter With Margie? centers on a bullied office-worker who.after years of abuse and mockery.finally snaps and decides to murder her tormentors. On it's surface, it may seem a story too dark to be funny, but Ball has shown a real gift for macabre humor, both on True Blood and the funeral home-based Six Feet Under, which he also created. For her part, Banks seems ideal casting for the put-upon Margie. She's got an easy affability that »
Breaking Bad Season Three Out Now! A Quick Love Letter To TV’s Most Exciting Series
18 May 2012 2:58 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Ever since those ducklings upset Tony Soprano back in 1999, Us networks have produced more quality television that viewers know what to do with. It has indeed been a golden era for the medium, which has often celebrated innovation, originality, and artistic integrity beyond Hollywood standards.
In this era, Us television drama tends to fall into two categories. Firstly, there’s the cerebral, slow burner: built on the foundations laid by HBO’s The Sopranos, shows such as Six Feet Under and Mad Men have showcased classy writing, complex characters, and explorative themes. Then there’s the second category, created in the mold of the all-action 24 and The Shield: breakneck pacing, high tension and cliffhanger endings. With Anc’s Breaking Bad, however, you get both dramatic categories cooked up together. Indeed, Vince Gilligan’s darkly comic series is whip smart and furiously addictive, making it perhaps the most gripping TV event since The Wire. »
