Tilda Swinton is as commanding in person as she is on screen. Her poise instantly attracts all attention and her passion for her work is overwhelmingly present in her answer to even the simplest question. However, there’s nothing simple about I Am Love. Not only has the project been in the works for over a decade, but [...]

Interview: I Am Love Director Luca Guadagnino
We see big budget films put on the fast track and make swift entrances into the theater all the time, but that was certainly not the case with director Luca Guadagnino’s I Am Love. The piece took over a decade to complete and the effects of the prolonged thought and development is profound. Even in [...]

Interview: Adopted’s Pauly Shore
I can’t lie; I was a little nervous going into my interview with Pauly Shore. Encino Man called my VHS player home for quite a chunk of my childhood, but after, his career tanked and the guy’s been involved in some questionable activities. I’m glad to report that, despite my preconceived notions, Shore is just [...]

In Splice Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley are Clive and Elsa, a talented team of genetic engineers who specialize in splicing the DNA of different animals to create hybrids.

What do you do when you’re the star of the worst movie ever made? Make a documentary about it of course! Okay, it’s not that simple.

Interview: Wild And Wonderful White Of West Virginia Director Julien Nitzberg
First thing I learned about Julien Nitzberg? He is a very patient guy. When a loud espresso machine foiled our plan to record this interview at the Barnes & Noble Cafe and a disgruntled employee had a serious problem with me stealing her book cart to use as a camera stand, it was off to [...]

Interview: Multiple Sarcasms’ Dana Delany
On TV, Dana Delany is well known for portraying a desperate housewife. In her new film, Multiple Sarcasms, she’s still playing a housewife, but her character, Annie, is far from desperate. In fact, she’s quite the opposite; sensible and strong. Those traits come in handy because thanks to her husband’s midlife crisis, her marriage is unraveling. [...]

Interview: Multiple Sarcasms’ Mira Sorvino
Having grown up idolizing Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, it was difficult to look at Mira Sorvino and not think of her as the woman who proposed a miracle diet of candy corn, jelly beans and gummy bears and had a major thing for Billy Christianson. Luckily I was able to pull it together and [...]
