Lindy Booth is a literary novelist in this baffling, post-postmodern bookworld tale of sex and rivalry
Decidedly weird – clearly intentionally so but not always in a good way – this pretzel-shaped black comedy stars Lindy Booth as a successful literary novelist named Eryn Bellow, first encountered working the bookstore promotional circuit via chauffeured cars and first-class flights. She’s not so much accompanied as pushed from behind by her caustic agent Carrie.
But Eryn is blocked and can’t seem to land on a concept for her next book, the follow-up to The Chartreuse Misnomer, a name that in itself is a pretty good send-up of literary pretension. A bad-tempered spat with rival novelist Theo Mencken (Peter Bogdanovich) on a TV show precedes a strange diversion down a narrative rabbit hole that sees Eryn trying to live out scenes in another novelist’s book with sexual adventures with assorted guys (including...

Legitimately hilarious television is always cause for celebration. So legitimately hilarious television that also tackles social norms and gender expectations like a drunken linebacker is downright parade-worthy. Gentlemen, cue up your remotes and have the ticker-tape at the ready.
Chronicling the urban exploits of twentysomething disasters Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer (or at least their alter-egos… we hope), Broad City is edgy, gently surreal, and extremely f*cking funny. Hot on the heels of the exciting news that Comedy Central has just renewed this freshman comedy for another season, let’s take a look at the reasons why it deserves not just a try, but a season pass on your DVR.
1. It’s Sex and the City for Normal People
Okay, maybe “normal” is stretching it a bit – how about “people who don’t live in impossibly fabulous apartments, aren’t walking Madame Tussaud’s figures swathed in couture fashion...

Director/writer: Matt L. Lockhart. Cast: Jason Mewes, Richard Riehle, Floyd Abel, Blakely Bunnell, Scott Davis, Joy Glass, Luke Guldan, Tara Heston, Tyler Johnson, Joe Monds, and Ashley Myers. Tagline: "In the middle of the ocean, there's nowhere to run." The Watermen is a smallish horror film from first time feature film director Matt L. Lockhart. This film notably stars Jason Mewes (Clerks) and Richard Riehle (Chillerama) in what can be considered a floundering serial killer film. The acting, soundtrack and story are lackluster. Only the shooting style stands out and The Watermen should stay in the deep where it belongs. The film's story is very flimsy. Some mumbling fishermen chase, capture and kill residents to create the best bait in the area. This seems like a very hard way to make very little money. Yet, the Cajun sounding killers set their eyes on six friends. These friends are on...

The Watermen
Stars: Jason Mewes, Richard Riehle, Luke Guldan, Tyler Johnson, Tara Heston | Written and Directed by Matt L. Lockhart
The Watermen is a stereotypical, cliche-filled sea-set slasher that felt like it had been penned by someone who had watched way too many classic 80s slasher movies… The story follows a group of obnoxious teens, including one Mr. Jason Mewes channeling his inner black-rapper, who set off on a boat trip and get caught up (literally) by a bunch of freakish fishermen whose chum of choice is ground-up human!
“A group of hot, rich, young things led by the dynamic Trailor (Mewes) set out for a deep-sea fishing trip on a million-dollar yacht, but soon their fun turns into disaster when a fire damages their engine and they find themselves marooned in the middle of the ocean. Spotting a ship on the horizon they alert them to their distress and are rescued,...

Faces In The Crowd
Stars: Milla Jovovich, Sarah Wayne Callies, Julian McMahon, Michael Shanks, Marianne Faithfull | Written and Directed by Julien Magnat
Giallo wannabe Faces in the Crowd stars Milla Jovovich – for once taking a break from either a) killing zombies and b) working with her husband – as Anna Marchant, a woman who witnesses a murder by the serial killer dubbed Tearjerker Jack. When Jack turns on Anna she manages to escape by falling off a bridge and banging her head – an injury which causes her to come down with a case of prosopagnosia, aka ”face-blindness.” Which means Anna cannot recognise her attacker, her husband, her friends, or anyone else for that matter, thanks to her new found inability to remember or identify faces…
Re-read that opening line again. Did you think I meant giallo “genre” wannabe? No, I meant Giallo as in the laughable recent filmic offering from Dario Argento,...
