Sally Draper, All Grown Up
17 June 2013 11:26 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Note: Do not read on if you have not yet seen Season 6, Episode 12 of AMC's "Mad Men," titled "The Quality Of Mercy."
The fallout continued for poor Sally Draper (Kiernan Shipka) in the penultimate episode of "Mad Men" Season 6. After she walked in on her father "comforting" Sylvia Rosen in "Favors" last week, Sally decided that she wanted to go away to boarding school.
"Sally walking in on her father with this other woman is a very complicated experience, and her response is she wants to get as far away from them as possible," "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner says in a behind-the-scenes video from AMC. "Of course, Don knows exactly why she's going, and doesn't reveal that to Betty."
"I think he's still processing what happened, and how to best deal with this," Jon Hamm says about Don in the video. "It's a secret that's gotten out, and that's potentially devastating to Don. »

13 June 2013 4:19 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Exclusive: In a competitive situation, A&E has landed Blood, Sweat & Tears, a drama project from feature and TV writer Chad Feehan (Southland, Paranormal Activity 4) and director Joe Carnahan (Narc). The project, from CBS TV Studios and studio-based Timberman-Beverly Prods., is a serialized drama set in Texas, which centers on the world of amateur bull riding. Feehan is writing the script and serves as co-executive producer. Carnahan is set to direct and will executive produce with Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly. This marks a return to A&E for Carnahan, who is on a hot pilot streak. Both pilots he directed this year, A&E’s Those Who Kill and NBC’s The Blacklist, garnered a lot of buzz and went to series, with Blacklist scoring NBC’s best drama pilot testing results in a decade and landing the post-Voice Monday 10 Pm slot on the fall schedule. He is with CAA and Stuart Rosenthal. »

'Purge' Kills, 'Fast,' 'Trek' Reach $200 Million
9 June 2013 2:30 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
Thanks to a clever, well-executed marketing effort, micro-budget horror movie The Purge easily took first place this weekend ahead of higher-profile Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson comedy The Internship. Meanwhile, Fast & Furious 6 and Star Trek Into Darkness became the latest Summer 2013 movies to pass $200 million at the domestic box office.Produced for just $3 million, The Purge debuted to a fantastic $36.4 million. That's a record for original R-rated horror ahead of last year's The Devil Inside ($33.7 million), which is particularly impressive considering the movie didn't have a supernatural angle. The Purge's opening was also twice as much as producer Jason Blum and star Ethan Hawke's Sinister, which started off with $18 million last October.Going in to the weekend, it looked like the best comparable title was The Strangers ($21 million), which opened around the same time in 2008 and also centered around a home invasion.

'Now You See Me': How real illusionists made movie magic
31 May 2013 9:59 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Magicians have amazed audiences with illusions for centuries, but in modern entertainment, filmmakers are the reigning wizards. Visual effects are their illusions. CGI is their bag of tricks. All that is very familiar to French director Louis Leterrier, whose movies include The Incredible Hulk and Clash of the Titans. But for his latest movie, Now You See Me, opening today in theaters, he set out to limit the use of computer-generated effects.
“I was coming from those big spectacle movies where CGI was almost like one of the main characters, but from the very beginning [of developing Now You See Me] we decided to take a low-tech approach to everything, »

10 Movies That Caused Incredible Controversy
1 May 2013 12:55 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
As the recent Evil Dead reboot proved, the boundaries for how much gore isacceptable to show onscreen have been pushed so far that a film can get away with representing any sickening act of graphic violence so long as no female orgasm is depicted.
Things haven’t always been this way. Evil Dead exploited the groundwork laid by pioneers of controversy who pushed the boundaries of what society would tolerate onscreen. I present a list of Evil Dead’s forebears, the films that broke new cinematic ground, inspired riots, arrests, and moralistic outcries: ten of the most controversial movies ever made.
Chief among Cannibal Holocaust’s many sins is its introduction of the concept of “found footage” to cinema. We can thank it for indirectly inspiring such classic films as Paranormal Activity 4, The Devil Inside, and Apollo 18. The film chronicles the horrors that befall a documentary »

Horror movies: the personality test | Paul MacInnes
29 March 2013 10:17 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
We watch horror films to see good triumph over evil, a study says. But how do you react? Try our highly unscientific quiz
Some scientific studies sound like more fun than others. The ones where you get paid danger money for taking potentially lethal medicines – they're cool. The ones where you sit in a lab and administer ever-increasing electric shocks to strangers in order to show how the Nazis came to power, even better. But how about a scientific study where all you have to do is watch horror movie trailers? That right there is the dream.
For 482 people that dream recently came true when they were asked by academics to watch a variety of gory trailers and offer their response. Would it be the promise of gore that would make someone want to watch the full film, or the promise of seeing a teenage girl in a bloodied singlet triumph over evil? »

Blu-ray Review: ‘Sinister’ Has Strong Visuals, Great Lead Performance
4 March 2013 4:33 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Scott Derrickson’s “Sinister” was beloved in certain horror-loving circles (including a rave from our very own Adam Fendelman) and it’s indicative of the state of the genre that this film’s flaws were overlooked simply because it’s so undeniably vastly superior to junk like “Paranormal Activity 4” and “The Last Exorcism, Part II.” There are some great ideas in “Sinister” and a truly strong central performance from the always-good Ethan Hawke but the film meanders at 110 minutes and the final act proves that pacing problems will be the most horrific thing about a poorly-written horror film.
Rating: 3.0/5.0
I was totally with the first act of “Sinister,” a film about a true crime writer who moves into a house with a mysterious past only to discover that he’s in the line of supernatural fire himself. There are some nicely creepy moments and truly shocking imagery (most of it on grainy film, »

It is often said that the greatest auteurs make films not because they want to but because they have to – it's as natural and essential as breathing. In December 2010 the Iranian maestro Jafar Panahi was banned from making movies and sentenced to six years in prison for creating "propaganda against the Islamic republic", a judgment that sparked outrage around the world.
While awaiting the outcome of an appeal, Panahi was visited in his home by his friend Mojtaba Mirtahmasb, who filmed Panahi wandering through his apartment, feeding his pet iguana, reflecting on scenes from his past movies and describing the latest script that he had been refused permission to shoot – the story of a young girl accepted for university but locked in her house by her zealous father.

Paranormal Activity 4: The Fright Factor Guide
21 February 2013 8:34 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
To celebrate the release of Paranormal Activity 4 on DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital Download, we’ve put together a “Fright Factor” guide for all of the movies in the series.
Paranormal Activity 4 is available to released on February 25th and can be ordered here. The DVD and Blu-Ray include the theatrical version of the film as well as an extended nine minute cut, and “The Recovered Files” – 30 chilling minutes of found footage, not shown in cinemas.
The story of Katie and Micah on a mission to film spooky goings on in their house seems relatively
restrained now, but it is all the scarier for it. A great start to the series, with some major jumps!
Fright Factor: 8/10
The sequel focuses on the Rey family who set up security cameras to investigate a series of break-
ins. Switching between home footage and CCTV cameras to capture the thrilling drama, »
