As Susan Prior watched works from 15 actors and filmmakers that were screened at the third Face Off screen actors’ showcase at the Chauvel Cinema in Paddington last Thursday, she was constantly impressed by their bravery.
The actor along with filmmaker Enzo Tedeschi and Stephanie Pringle, co-founder of Chicken and Chips Casting, viewed the self-tests, teaser trailers and short films and gave the creators their expert advice and guidance.
“There were some beauties, a lot of thought and sweat. The word bravery kept popping into my head – the bravery to take the first step, to create your own work, and to put it out there,” says Susan, whose recent credits include Frayed and the upcoming The Gloaming and The Wrong Guy.

Vince McMahon has been the driving creative force for WWE programming for over 30 years. In addition to being the Chairman of the company, he’s also the head booker. He has always been the man in charge and even though he’s 69 years old, he’s still in that spot. Others like Triple H or his daughter Stephanie McMahon may have a lot of power too, but everything that happens on WWE TV is based on what Vince wants.
There have been a number of guys that Vince has pushed hard on television with the idea that they would become the biggest stars in the business. Some are heels while others are faces. Some are American babyfaces while others might be foreign heels because that’s an easy angle to do. They come in all shapes and sizes too, but as we know from watching WWE over the years,...

During a recent telephone conversation, it was easy to understand how Charisma Carpenter makes the character of Rebecca Sewell so easy to hate on The Lying Game.
She's extremely passionate about the show, the stories, her fellow actors and her role on it. Yes, the actress adors The Lying Game as much as you do - and she loves to talk about it, as evidenced in the following Q&A...
----------------------------------------
TV Fanatic: When you started on The Lying Game, did you have any idea how crucial your role would be?
Charisma Carpenter: I had a sneaking suspicion when they told me I was going to be their mom. I was supposed to do six episodes, and I ended up shooting all 10 episodes of season 1B. So, when that happened, I felt like...the last four I found out I was going to be the mom. I thought, well,...

If laughter is the best medicine, we’d all grow sick and die before we reached our mid-twenties. But before then, we’d have guys like Chuck Wendig to help ease the pain. Chuck is likely the funniest guy working the crime-fiction scene today, but as we’ll soon learn below, Wendig has no trouble transcending genre and making it, to put it politely, sorry it got all uppity with him. Chuck released last year the short-story e-collection Irregular Creatures, which was easily my favorite short-story collection since Pinckney Benedict’s Miracle Boy the year previous, and I cannot now think of a better collection I’ve read since (and I’ve read a few). Chuck’s latest is the novel Blackbirds, which sees its official release today, and if you are reading this in the Los Angeles area, Chuck will be appearing tonight at the Mysterious Galaxy bookstore in Redondo Beach,...

Canadian comedian André Sauvé will adapt into a film a famous monologue he did in a sketch: the grocery store (l'épicerie). The film will fittingly be called L'épicerie.
This will be the second film in which André Sauvé plays after Filière 13. Instead of being in a supporting role like in Filière 13, Sauvé will be the lead actor.
Christal Film Productions, a production company, announced yesterday that André Sauvé will write the film's script along with Claude Lalonde (Filière 13). For the moment, no director is attached to the film.
The film is about a man who goes to the grocery store. Once there, he starts to panick because of what's offered to him on the shelves.
In the next months, the producers of the film will seek subsidies from Telefilm Canada and the Sodec, respectively a federal and a Quebecker cinematographic funding agency. The producers expect L'épicerie's budget to be at $6 M.

Like all good fans of the Kids in the Hall, I've been rooting for every member of the troupe to find success since they mostly dissolved their partnership in the mid-1990s. The fan culture surrounding KitH really is not far removed from those who love(d) Monty Python before them - we love seeing the various members pop up in anything and everything, but we really love it when they show up together (this is usually in pairs, Dave Foley & Kevin MacDonald, Mark McKinney & Bruce McCullogh, and Scott Thompson & his lisp). The same can't really be said for SNL or "MadTV" alumnae, Bill Murray being the exception to every rule man has ever concocted to make sense of the world.
Dave Foley was the easiest to root for at first, and not just because he has always been my personal favorite. Yes, it was a drag that his role...

Welcome to another edition of Movies That Deserve a Second Life. If you need a refresher on what I’m referring to by “second life,” check out the Action/Adventure Edition. If you’re caught up, read on to see what funny flics I felt were unfairly ignored/disliked upon its release or have been forgotten in the years since its release.
Comedy is almost certainly the most subjective of all genres. What makes one person laugh is guaranteed to make another yawn or wrinkle his/her brow. Some find juvenilia in poor taste while others bust a gut. Everyone claims to have a sense of humor, but almost no one enjoys every type of humor there is, from dry wit and pungent satire to bodily fluid gags and intentionally groan-worthy puns. Therefore, I think it’s safe to say that no one (besides myself) will be satisfied with every choice.

Dave Foley guest starring on Stargate Atlantis isn’t exactly the weirdest thing in the universe, but it’s still pretty quirky casting. Foley – a stand-up comic, member of the beloved comedy troupe Kids in the Hall, a judge on Thank God You’re Here and an actor whose credits include The Wrong Guy, A Bug’s Life and Sky High – is the main guest in the Atlantis episode “Brain Storm,” airing tonight on the Sci Fi Channel. Foley plays Malcolm Tunney, a businessman/scientist and one-time rival of Dr. McKay (David Hewlett) who’s apparently invented a device that can help get global warming under control. Of course, “apparently” is the key word here, as Tunney’s top-secret demonstration doesn’t go quite according to plan, forcing McKay and Dr. Keller (Jewel Staite) to save the day.
