With Ick hitting theaters this weekend, we caught up with Mena Suvari (American Pie; American Beauty) to talk about her role as Staci in Joseph Kahn’s new monster movie.

Bryan Cranston Murder Suspect (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Wait, what? Bryan Cranston, aka Walter White, was once a real-life murder suspect. Yep, you read that right. In the ‘70s, Cranston was wrapped up in a murder case from Breaking Bad.

Before becoming Heisenberg, Cranston was just a kid cruising the U.S. on a motorcycle, picking up odd jobs. One of those gigs was working at a Daytona Beach restaurant for a tyrannical chef named Peter Wong. Cranston didn’t hold back when describing him: “He was a miserable human being, just a despicable man.” It’s safe to say that Wong wasn’t winning any fan votes.

But here’s the kicker: While the Cranston brothers weren’t fans of their boss, they never seriously considered acting on their frustrations. But the dark twist came when Wong was found dead shortly after the Cranston brothers moved to a different town.

The 2019 Sundance Film Festival has unveiled their impressive lineup of independent films.

I love going to Sundance. It’s one of my favorite movie events to attend. One of the reasons I enjoy it so much is because they are all fresh and original films that tell original stories! For the most part there aren’t a lot of remakes, reboots, and sequels, which are mostly the kinds of films that fill theaters these days.

On top of that, you never know what you’re going to get when you walk into a screening. It could be complete and utter crap, or it could be one of the best films you’ve ever seen. It’s thrilling!
