Rob Zombie And Mr. Beaks Talk HALLOWEEN II!
08/13/09 With the HALLOWEEN II junket just around the corner (and the film due out on August 28th), I figured now would be an opportune time to hit you with this interview I conducted with writer-director Rob Zombie at Comic Con. I still hadn't seen the film when I chatted with Zombie, so most of these questions are directed at figuring out the tone of Zombie's sequel to his love-it-or-loathe-it 2007 remake. | Ain't It Cool News -

Film: Random Roles:Austin Pendleton
07/29/09 A Yale graduate and accomplished playwright, stage actor, and theatrical director, Austin Pendleton has lent his daft, sweet, quirky presence and voice to star-studded extravaganzas (1968's Skidoo, 1970's Catch-22, 1974's The Front Page, 1979's The Muppet Movie, 1980's First Family ), television shows ( Oz and Homicide, both executive produced by Tom Fontana), a smash-hit Pixar cartoon ( Finding Nemo ), and a slew of plays, some wildly successful, some outright disastrous. | The A.V.

Film: Random Roles: George Wendt
05/04/09 George Wendt, who came up in the Chicago improv scene in the mid '70s before moving to Los Angeles and launching a career as a character actor and sitcom staple—including over a decade holding down a barstool on the hit show Cheers . | The A.V. Club -
Sundance Review: Brief Interviews with Hideous Men
01/21/09 Moviefone I'd heard a few unpleasant rumblings regarding the Sundance title Brief Interviews with Hideous Men , in addition to numerous opinions on how the source material (a collection of stories by the late David Foster Wallace) had been labeled more or less "unfilmable." | Cinematical.com -
