Rory (Alexis Bledel) meets many memorable characters during her time at Chilton, but why does her classmate Brad Langford (Adam Wylie) leave Gilmore Girls? Brad is a nervous but intelligent student who first appears in season 2, and his insecurities make him stand out when compared to other students, from confident Madeline Lynn (Shelly Cole) and Louise Grant (Teal Redmann) to mean-spirited Frankie Jarvis (Emily Bergl). While Rory and Brad don't become friends, she sees a kindred spirit in him as they both accept the fact that they don't fit in, and they are both different from the people around them.

Brad is one of the best Chilton side characters in Gilmore Girls because, through his interactions with a main character on the series, he shows growth. Brad is given a short but captivating arc, and he is an unforgettable part of Rory's years at the competitive private high school she...

Can you say Nightmare on Elm Street knock-off? If you can then you probably don’t need to watch The 11th Patient, which mines all the terrifying dream sequences found in those films and recycles them in the story of a kid trapped in a coma. Only these filmmakers can’t even make a body in a plastic bag look scary!

The official synopsis goes like this: “A boy is found in a coma deep in the woods several months after his kidnapping. The man that kidnapped him is still at large and Steven is the only person who witnessed and survived the ordeal. Now, Steven has been brought to a Doctor who specializes in Ptsd patients. He must connect to Steven and make him...

Celebrity psychic Sylvia Browne is doing damage control over a prediction made nearly 10 years ago claiming Ohio kidnapping victim Amanda Berry was dead, but her actions may represent a watershed moment in how Americans view psychics.

"The [Ariel Castro abduction] is a test case for all psychics," said Joe Nickell, editor of Skeptical Inquirer, a magazine that encourages science-based analysis of paranormal and fringe-science claims. "Why didn't one psychic wake up in the middle of the night and know where they were?"

Browne told Louwana Miller, the mother of Amanda Berry, on "The Montel Williams Show" in 2004: "She’s not alive, honey. Your daughter’s not the kind who wouldn’t call," The Atlantic Wire reported. Berry was kidnapped 10 years ago and was found alive on Monday.

Browne responded with an official statement to The Huffington Post earlier this week that included this line: "Only God is right all the time."

Co-winner of the Audience Award at the Cinequest Film Festival, The Village Barbershop is one of those little indie films you can't help but root for. Variety's Dennis Harvey wrote: "Feeling as crustily comfortable as its titular environ, Village Barbershop is an old-hat story -- curmudgeon grudgingly takes in brash youth, with eventual life-enhancing benefits for both. But in this case, the old hat is well worn, and debuting writer-director Chris Ford has blown most of the dust off. Result is a cannily low-key charmer."

It stars John Ratzenberg (still most famous for his long-running role as Cliff Claven on Cheers, but who has also made quite a career out of doing fine voice work for many Pixar features) as that curmudgeon, a small-town haircutter whose melancholy, and rigid, life is altered when a woman shows up looking for a job as his other barber. The film was shot in...

An indie film we've bee following very closely is Darin Scott's Dark House, which we first announced here back on June 6th. Starring Jeffrey Combs, Meghan Ory, Danso Gordon, Bevin Prince, Shelly Cole, Matt Cohen, Scott Whyte, Ryan Melander, Meghan Maureen McDonough and Scotty Noyd Jr., the first stills hit the web the other day and it made me proud, that we caught wind of this so early. Now we have our very own first look, which continues to impress me. Read on for a look and tell us what you think! Darin Scott was the man behind Tales From The Hood...

Friday, Sept. 26

NEW YORK -- An undeniable air of authenticity permeates this indie effort about an all-girl punk rock band, co-written by Cheri Lovedog based on her own experiences and directed by veteran music supervisor Alex Steyermark. While the story line often comes uncomfortably close to melodrama, "Prey for Rock and Roll", opening Sept. 26 in Los Angeles, is an entertaining and sometimes even moving portrait of a veteran band that never quite hits the big time. Although the film will have to face the commercial hurdle faced by most rock-themed efforts, the sexy and charismatic star presence of Gina Gershon in yet another lesbian role shouldn't hurt at all.

Gershon plays Jacki, the 40-year-old lead guitarist and singer of a female punk rock band, which despite many years of effort, is still playing L.A. clubs and dives in search of that ever-elusive record contract. The band's other members are bassist Tracy (Drea De Matteo), who has problems with both drugs and men

lead guitarist Faith (Lori Petty), who augments her income by teaching guitar to highly untalented if enthusiastic teens

and drummer Sally (Shelly Cole), Faith's sweet younger lover.

Among the various plot elements in Lovedog and Robin Whitehouse's meandering screenplay, based on a stage play by the former, is the arrival of "Animal" (Marc Blucas), Sally's older brother, who has just been released from prison after serving a murder sentence. The heavily tattooed and muscular Animal initially seems a threatening figure, but he turns out to be a virginal nice guy who quickly develops the hots for the older Jacki. Uninterested at first, Jacki, who happens to run her own tattoo parlor, soon finds herself drawn to the gentle ex-con, whose crime turns out to have been highly personal in nature.
