The kitchen sink’s thrown against the wall with bathtub, toilet, and whatever else made of easily-shattered porcelain in the house following right behind—this is Mark Kemble‘s Bad Hurt. Adapted from his semi-autobiographical play “Bad Hurt on Cedar Street” with the help of Jamieson Stern, the film depicts a dysfunctional family that drew the shortest of straws in terms of volatility and hardship. But with that burden comes the capacity for strength in love to somehow overcome. Doing so is difficult, enough that the attempt will prove futile time and time again, but it is possible. More suffering will arrive on the horizon as hard truths needing to be uncovered and accepted to approach calm appear and it’ll all destroy as surely as it’ll galvanize.
This is far from a simple story, but one quickly dismissed as contrived or melodramatic. While it’s both those things...

Cavemen is a romantic comedy about how – with a little help from our friends – true love isn’t as evasive as it seems. During a recent press day for the film, I spoke with stars Skylar Astin, Camilla Belle, Chad Michael Murray and director Herschel Faber about filming a love story in La… and just who has the sweetest dance moves out of the bunch. Check it out below.
Cavemen follows La playboy Dean (Skylar Astin) who is fed up with one-night-stands and empty relationships and realizes that he wants something more out of life than just a party. With a little inspiration from his nine-year-old nephew and his best friend Tess (Camilla Belle), Dean decides to try his hand at finding true love for the first time – which proves to be much more difficult than he thought in modern-day Los Angeles.

*full disclosure: a DVD screener of this film was provided by Phase 4 Films.
**here be spoilers (of course).
Director: Tyler Oliver.
Writers: Tyler Oliver and Jamieson Stern.
Forget Me Not is a horror film from Tyler Oliver, which will release on DVD May 24th, 2011, through Phase 4 Films. The film stars Carly Schroeder (Prey), Cody Linley (Cheaper by the Dozen), and Brie Gabrielle, in what is a mostly tense thriller. Taking some license with the Ring and Red Mist, Forget Me Not introduces a young girl placed in a coma, by some misguided youth. In this unconscious state, Angela (Brittany Renee Finamore) takes revenge on these kids, now grown up, by reliving a childhood game. The dominoes fall one by one, as Oliver develops a supernatural mythos involving characters returning from the grave. Few characters survive their time in this local graveyard.
Comparisons to other films crop up pretty quick into this film.

Teen horror movies may be a dime a dozen, but after watching the trailer for Forget Me Not, I have no problem saying I'd be willing to shell out a dozen dimes or so to watch it. Better start saving up your dimes because Forget Me Not will be arriving on DVD shelves in May.
The supernatural tweener terror stars the likes of Carly Schroeder ("Lizzy McGuire"), Cody Linley ("Hannah Montana), Chloe Bridges (Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam), and Jillian Murray (The Graves). If you're not familiar with any of those names, all you need to know are the words "young" and "photogenic".
It's graduation weekend, and Sandy Channing, the popular class president of her small-town high school, should be enjoying the time of her life. But when her friends start disappearing, Sandy discovers they have unwittingly awakened the vengeful spirit of a girl they wronged long ago. Fighting...

This scribe hit Rachel Belofsky’s Screamfest La in Hollywood, CA, last night (as I do every night – extensive video and stills below), where Ti West, the director of The House of the Devil (review here) (screening as the fest’s "Centerpiece Film"), talked up his new series "Dead and Lonely", which begins airing on IFC Monday, October 26th, as well as the dust-up surroundng his Cabin Fever 2 (sort of).
Star of The House of the Devil Jocelin Donahue chimed in about her role in West’s legitimate recreation of early 80’s horror as seen in The House of the Devil , and Icelandic director Julius Kemp of the Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre (the film plays at Screamfest La tonight) spilled on the distribution of that film (which will be at Afm – hopefully American audiences will see it soon).
Perennial badass and actor Marc (The Lost, Cabin Fever 2) Senter showed up...

We caught up with director Tyler Oliver and writer Jamieson Stern at the 2009 La Screamfest, where their film Forget Me Not is premiering tonight, and the duo dropped the early word on their next project Public Storage on us. We figured we'd share because, you know, we can't be keeping all the good shit to ourselves all the time.
"Yes, I've written another horror film along with another writer named Herschel Faber," says Stern. "It's got some really interesting names interested in it already. It's more of a slasher film. I have a lot of respect for Tyler, and we have a great working relationship, and we just want to work together again." [Editors Note: At press-time director Tyler Oliver is not officially attached] "The film is called Public Storage, so let the imagination run wild!"
Interesting. Check out the trailer for Forget Me Not below, and look for more on it and Public Storage soon.
