Exclusive: Henry Thomas Talks The Last Ride
18 June 2013 1:29 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Henry Thomas discusses playing music icon Hank Williams in The Last Ride, currently available on Blu-ray and DVD
Henry Thomas captured America's heart as Elliott in the 1982 classic E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and he hasn't stopped working since. He starred in one of my personal childhood favorites, Cloak and Dagger, and in notable films such as Valmont, Legends of the Fall, Suicide Kings, All The Pretty Horses, Gangs of New York, Dear John, and many more. The actor returns to play music icon Hank Williams in The Last Ride, currently available on Blu-ray and DVD. Set just days before the country singer passed away, this drama is based on the true story of a young man (Jesse James) hired to drive Hank to a series of concerts over the New Year's Eve holiday, and the bond that formed between these very different men. I recently had the chance to speak with »

Kate Bosworth's Gravel-colored Dress Makes For Excellent Sidewalk Camo
14 June 2013 3:05 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
We suppose one can't predict exactly where they'll be walking throughout the night, but Kate Bosworth must have known she'd come across a sidewalk when she slipped into this dress? Maybe this Proenza Schouler frock wasn't quite so gravel-colored in the light of the Big Sur star's bedroom? We'll give her that benefit of the doubt, but we're not sure we even love the shape or style. Those heavy short sleeves hide her petite shoulders, and the long length in thick teed doesn't feel like pre-summer wear. So, in the end, maybe it's better off fading into the concrete after all... Sorry Kate! »
Programming Note: Zero Hour Returns Saturday, But Not With the Pilot
14 June 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
I was a big fan of ABC‘s Zero Hour when I previewed the pilot last summer, and was disappointed that they were holding it until midseason. When they finally did air it, they had made a few changes with a few scenes, but it was still the cool Indiana Jones-feeling, Nazi hating, twisty fun mysterious show I remembered, complete with creepy baby.
Of course I was horribly disappointed when ABC canceled the series after airing just three episodes, but over-the-moon happy when they announced that they would air all 13 episodes this summer.
Well that happy day is now finally nearly upon us, as Zero Hour returns Saturday at 8/7c with a two-hour premiere. But… it isn’t the pilot. In fact, they are picking up where they left off, and will be airing episodes four and five on Saturday. If you didn’t see the first three episodes when »

23 May 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
We were so disappointed that Zero Hour wasn’t given more time to gain an audience, but at least were pleased when ABC announced that the entire first season would air this summer, including the first three episodes that aired in the winter.
Happily, ABC has now paired those episodes with unaired episodes from another gone-too-soon show from earlier this season, 666 Park Avenue, according to Deadline. As you know from the SciFiMafia.com Spring and Summer Primetime TV Schedule and the SciFiMafia.com Calendar, Zero Hour premieres Saturday, June 15 at 8/7c. 666 Park Avenue will join Zero Hour on June 22, following it at 9/8c and continuing weekly for three more weeks.
Excellent news, I’m So looking forward to summer Saturdays, these were great shows; thanks to ABC for airing the rest of the episodes.

Kate Bosworth loves cooking shows. The 30-year-old actress is obsessed with whipping up dishes and gets her inspiration from 'Top Chef' and 'Chopped'. She told People magazine: 'I love all of the cooking shows like 'Chopped' and 'Top Chef'. I've just started to learn in the last couple of years and I love it. My specialty is a sausage ragu, it takes about six or seven hours to cook. That's almost my mini-vacation, cooking with my fiance Michael [Polish] and his daughter and just having family time.' Kate was previously in relationships with Orlando Bloom and Alexander Skarsgard before she romanced Michael. The pair met on the set of 'Big Sur' - based on the autobiographical novel of Jack Kerouac »

This is terrific news for all who join me in bemoaning the far-too-soon cancellation of supernatural Nazi clock creepy baby puzzler Zero Hour. We were told that the remainder of the episodes would air, and now, happily, that schedule has been set.

Kate Bosworth on Wedding Plans, Still Needs a Dress

It doesn't sound like Kate Bosworth is a bridezilla-in-the-making. The actress, who is engaged to her Big Sur director Michael Polish, admits she hasn't even started looking at wedding dresses. "I haven't really thought that much about that detail yet," Bosworth told me at the Topshop Topman party at Cecconi's in West Hollywood. "There are lots of things I need to figure out." Polish isn't too concerned about everything coming together. "He's a filmmaker so he said, 'Don't worry. A wedding is just a production. I do it all the time,'" Bosworth said.

‘Big Sur’ meditates on the troubled recklessness of Jack Kerouac
9 February 2013 9:05 AM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Michael Polish
Written by Michael Polish
2013, USA
A melancholic exploration of Jack Kerouac’s mind during his trips to poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s remote cabin on the pacific coast, Big Sur quietly captivates with a moody mix of striking scenery and rapid-fire narration. Kerouac used his prose to break away from the repressive stranglehold of mid-20th century American values and became one of the freewheeling heroes of the Beat Generation. Finding tremendous acclaim as a rebellious writer, celebrity was surprisingly something he didn’t desire and struggled desperately to escape. The pensive focus of this film is the serious depression and consequential alcoholism of a genius bent on self-destruction. Big Sur takes takes a hard look at Kerouac’s deterioration following the wild success of the novel “On the Road” and is almost entirely composed of his anxiety-ridden introspection. This brooding, despair laden story might »

5 February 2013 1:00 PM, PST | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
We very much approve of the new-ish network practice of posting a series premiere online before the premiere, especially for good intrigue/supernatural/serial/DaVinci Code-like shows like Zero Hour. Plus Nazis, Anthony Edwards, and old clocks! I was able to check it out last summer and loved it, and hope you’ll love it too. Watch it, make sure to watch it through the very end (trust me), and talk it up with your friends. We need good shows like this to do well.
First, a very cool poster and a reminder of what the show’s about:
