Young trans filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay (who has been making features since she was in her teens) does her part to even the score, thematically at least, with SATRANIC PANIC. Directing from the script she co-wrote with Cassie Hamilton […]Read On »

Staz Nair has part of the title role in Fox Network’s production ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW: LET’S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN, which premieres Thursday, October 20. Based on the 1976 movie, which in turn is based on Richard O’Brien’s oft-revived stage musical, the new ROCKY HORROR pays homage to the film’s cult hit status by cutting from the actors to a separate audience that responds as midnight screening attendees have done for forty years. For those who have somehow missed the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW phenomenon, it’s the story of an innocent young couple, Brad and Janet (Ryan McCartan […]Read On »

Reeve Carney plays Riff-Raff in Fox Network’s special presentation ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW: LET’S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN. Original ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW producer Lou Adler has teamed up with fellow executive producer Gail Berman and director Kenny Ortega to combine the cult hit 1976 film, based on Richard O’Brien’s stage musical. In this edition, an onscreen audience, separate from the musical performers, enacts the “shadow cast” that has accompanied midnight showings for the past four decades. Carney has just come off three years of playing the unaging, sexually debauched Dorian Grey on PENNY DREADFUL. Riff-Raff in ROCKY HORROR […]Read On »

THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, which debuted on the big screen in 1975, got a modest response at the time of its initial release. Nobody involved – creator Richard O’Brien, producer Lou Adler or star Tim Curry – had any idea that their movie, based on O’Brien’s original stage musical also starring Curry, would turn into the midnight movie experience by which all others are judged. Every weekend, all over the U.S. (and in other countries as well), fans dress up as the characters and act out the whole show in front of the screen as THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE […]Read On »

TV Review: GLEE – SEASON TWO – “Britney/Brittany”

Consider this the Madonna episode without the really cool music. GLEE tackles Britney Spears, but what’s immediately evident is her imprint on pop culture is more about fashion and style, rather than substance. It’s a debate raged in this episode “Britney/Brittany.” Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison) hates Spears and what she stands for, as do other students, but some of them want to express their inner Britney.
