Just in time for Halloween festivities, Sea Wolf offers a clip for "Wicked Blood," taken from their new album, White Water, White Bloom . The video is a jokey homage to The Twilight Zone and other late-night, black and white scarefests. It's a pretty cool clip, with singer Alex Brown Church hauntingly still in the front of the shot, and actress Shannyn Sossamon (famous for, er, 40 Days and...

Waves of buzz have been steadily surrounding all female LA trio Warpaint . And rightly so. They're about to drop their Exquisite Corpse EP on the 10.11.09 via Speak N Spell . The first track "Stars" for example, is a softly spun gem that deals in haze, introspection and yearning and sounds like the tomboy little sister of School Of Seven Bells . The song's music video on the other hand is...
"Dune fans blanched at the rumors that sparkly Twilight vampire Robert Pattinson would somehow appear in Peter Berg's contemplated adaptation of Frank Herbert's epic SF novel. Well, drive a stake into those reports. Zap2It cites unnamed sources as saying they're not true. What is true is that Pattinson is set to star in a version of Guy de Maupassant's 1885 novel Bel Ami. He'll play amoral journalist...
Last night Warpaint performed at Empty Bottle and I missed it, very sad story. Nevertheless, that should not stop us from appreciating their music. If you have not checked them out yet, you should! Not only are these three Los Angeles ladies absolutely gorgeous but they also have a really great sound. The composition is a result of a commingling between mystical folk, shoegaze and alluring vocals....

Pre-op transsexual Marybeth (Kerry Washington) is working as a prostitute in order to save enough money to make her transformation complete. She lives with...
Why do I like Shannyn Sossamon so much? She's one of those actors who, when I see her name attached to a film, I think "Oooh! Yes, I'll watch that." (see also: Ed Harris). I don't get it. She's not a particularly good actress- she tends to deliver every line as if she's just done a shot of heroin. She hasn't been in any films I love, or even like a whole bunch. So what is it? Is it just because...
This is a rather interesting post over at the Rotten Tomatoes blog . They have completed the unenviable task of listing the 100 worst movies of this decade. I appreciate them torturing themselves to compile this list for us, and I'm just glad I didn't have to do it myself. Here are the ten worst movies according to them. Go on over and check out the full list of 100 if you dare. One thing the list...
With so many celebrity babies being born these days, it's time to reflect on some of the more ridiculous things stars choose to name their offspring. It's not a short list. From tributes to their own names to animate objects like fruit, to bad plays on words and misspelled, utter nonsense that makes you wonder what the hell they're thinking, celebrities are constantly one-upping themselves. Here's...
