Sundance 2012 Review: ‘Lay The Favorite’ May Have Bet Too High
Film Festivals By Allison Loring on January 23, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThere is one thing that becomes quite clear, quite quickly when Lay The Favorite begins: not everyone should do voice over work. Rebecca Hall (who plays Beth Raymer) sadly falls into that category and her baby voice stays with her throughout the entire film. Lay The Favorite tells Beth’s story as she tries to figure out her purpose in life at a job that will be stimulating and make her good money (don’t we all, Beth). The best place to pursue such a dream? Las Vegas, of course! Beth packs up her life (and dog Otis) and heads West with stars in her eyes. Ready and willing to do anything, Beth quickly makes friends with Holly (Laura Prepon) who turns her on to a job with Dink Heimowtiz (Bruce Willis) who runs a legal (at least in Vegas) gambling company (Dink Inc.) that bets on anything and everything, but mainly sporting events. Dink’s world is exactly the type of excitement and stimulation Beth was hoping for and despite her baby talk, daddy issues (no matter what she says) and constant hair chewing, Dink takes a shine to her and agrees to bring her on.

Casting Couch By Cole Abaius on November 23, 2009 | Comments (8)I don’t wanna wait! For Joshua Jackson to be cast in a science fiction film that sounds a lot like Men in Black and is based off a British television show from the 70s. Luckily, I don’t have to.

TV Review: Fringe 1.2 – Same Old Story
Television By Conrad Rothbaum on September 17, 2008 | Comments (12)Science fiction craziness and ominous intrigue abound in J. J. Abrams’ latest series about FBI Agents who investigate paranormal activities.
Can you believe it? Another Asian-style horror flick. And while this one isn’t from Japan (it’s from Thailand, originally), it does take place in Japan. So pull up a bottle of sake and toast another Asian-horror remake about haunted cameras and ghosts in pictures… oh, and the awesomely hot Rachael Taylor.
