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 -

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 -
