Screenwriter Steven Knight is one of the most respected and prolific scribes in Hollywood, having penned Eastern Promises, Amazing Grace, and Dirty Pretty Things, for which he was Oscar-nominated. For the 2013 film Redemption he also began a career as a director. His latest writing/directing effort, Locke is an engrossing story of a man taking a car ride that will change his life forever.
Read MoreNeil Breen (2014)
Ever on the hunt for the next great “cult classic,” I recently stumbled upon Fateful Findings. Written, directed, produced by, and starring Neil Breen, it only took about a minute into the film for me to discover that I was watching something special that had more to offer than the typical film billed as “The next The Room.” I urge you to check it out for yourself now, because in a year or two, everyone will be talking about it and you’ll be able to say that you were one of the first to see it.

Crispin Glover has been an actor for over 30 years, most famously appearing in films like Back to the Future, Charlie’s Angels, Friday the 13: The Final Chapter, Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, The River’s Edge, Bartleby, and Willard. He’s also currently working on directing his third film, preceded by his unique and beautiful first two features What Is It? and It is Fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE.

Read MoreZoë Bell (2014)
New Zealand actress/stuntwoman Zoë Bell has doubled for many action heroes over the years, including Lucy Lawless in Xena: Warrior Princess and Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. Over the last few years, she has made a career-transition into becoming a full-time actress in such projects as Lost, Whip It, and, perhaps most famously, as herself in Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof. Mixing equal parts toughness, beauty, natural acting chops, and charisma, she’s put all of those qualities on display in her latest movie, Raze, about a group of women who have been imprisoned and forced to fight for their lives and the lives of their loved ones.
Read MoreSharni Vinson (2013)
You're Next, opening August 23rd after an almost 2 year wait, is one of the best horror films you will have seen in years. It takes the familiar concept of a home invasion and turns it on its head with a very interesting twist. That twist comes in the form of the film's lovely and talented star, Sharni Vinson.
Read MoreCharles Band (2013)
You may or may not know it, but chances are that you've seen a Charles Band film or twenty. Besides the franchises he is most known for, such as Gingerdead Man, Evil Bong, Trancers, and, of course, Puppet Master, his Full Moon Features and previous incarnations are also behind such films as ReAnimator, Ghoulies, Laserblast, Tourist Trap, The Dungeonmaster, Troll, and more movies than you can possibly see in a lifetime. I've personally been a fan for over twenty years and I know that when I new Full Moon film comes out, I am in for a good time.
Read MoreKeith Coogan (2013)
I recently had the pleasure to sit and talk with lifelong actor Keith Coogan. Notably recognizable for two of his most popular films, Adventures in Babysitting and Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead, he's just one shy of completing the babysitter trilogy. He was very gracious, open and honest, and incredibly generous with his time.
Read MoreUwe Boll (2013)
Love him or hate him, director Uwe Boll has had quite the prolific career. A quick perusal of his page on IMDB lists a boatload of movies that most film fans have very strong opinions about. It would have been easy to, as many have in the past, focus on the negative and put the man on the spot.
