Exclusive Interview: Ken Marino pushes hard for BAD MILO

In the annals of ass-monster movies, BAD MILO comes across as a terrific rush – pardon the unavoidable metaphors. Not nearly the gross-out fiesta its premise of a dooty Dark Half might imply in its admittedly hilarious trailer, this production of director Jacob Vaughan (THE CASSIDY KIDS) and the usually sedate mumblecore directors / producers Jay and Mark Duplass (BAGHEAD), BAD MILO is far more of an update of tragic WOLFMAN mythos, as crossed with the satire of OFFICE SPACE, the reproductive angst of THIRTYSOMETHING and any number of post-EST self-help psychiatry sessions. Grimacing and screaming through it all in […]Read On »

Interview: Rob Simonsen on scoring THE SPECTACULAR NOW and THE WAY WAY BACK

Rob Simonsen | ©2013 Rob Simonsen

Just as guitars and soulful rock-pop melody signaled the youthquake revolution in film scoring with Simon and Garfunkel’s score to THE GRADUATE in 1967, today’s movies about troubled teens on the cusp of a far larger adult world are sounding out with a similar spirit that reflects what the “kids” are listening to, as opposed to their grandparents’ old-school symphonic scores. However, pop-rock is an ever-growing animal as well, having ventured well off the top 40 mainstream since the days when a strumming approach was all that you needed to signal a post-adolescent breaking away from conformity. Now teen dramedies […]Read On »

Fox’s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, now in its tenth season Tuesday nights at 8 PM, differs from that other network’s dance competition show in some significant ways. Instead of having people the viewers have heard of who are learning to dance for the first time, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE have extraordinarily talented unknowns working solo, in pairs and as a group. The top ten dancers of any season get a place on the seasonal live tour that travels throughout theU.S. and the series is considered a springboard for all types of careers in dance. After a […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: SATURDAY MORNING MYSTERY director Spencer Parsons on a horror-filled Scooby Doo

SATUDAY MORNING MYSTERY | (c) 2013 XLRator Media

SATURDAY MORNING MYSTERY is a pretty fun and different horror flick that takes what would be a real-life ghost hunting foursome and their faithful canine companion and throws them into a ghastly mystery that proves there aren’t really ghosts but people on the other hand are much worse. The Scooby Doo live action films have been done many times – including multiple movies with the actual licensed name – but none of them has the sheer brutality or clever payoff as SATURDAY MORNING MYSTERY. Director Spencer Parsons sat down to talk about his film and how it went about getting […]Read On »
