There are 172 demons in the town of Willard’s Mill, and it’s up to retired sheriff Stan Miller (John C. McGinley) to stop them. There’s only one problem: Stan would rather take a nap. There is no rest for the recently retired, though, and Stan has even more undead mayhem to deal with in the new episodes of IFC’s Stan Against Evil. The second season of the horror comedy series premieres tonight on IFC, and this past summer, Daily Dead and a group of other journalists had the great pleasure of visiting the Atlanta set to see Stan’s demon-slaying arsenal and favorite recliner in person.
Nestled on a quiet neighborhood street just outside of Atlanta, the two-story home looks like a peaceful place, with its sprawling front porch and red and white colors giving it the appearance of a tranquil farmhouse. But while this home may...

Los Angeles – With the flourish of trumpets in “The Bullfighter’s Song,” a pugnacious man would strut on stage and launch a volley of hilarious insults on some unsuspecting targets. That act was Don Rickles, whose show business nicknames included “The King of Zing,” “The Merchant of Venom” and the magnificently ironic “Mr. Warmth.” Rickles died in Los Angeles on April 6th, 2017. He was 90.
In his early career, Rickles was a throwback to the cocktail and burlesque joints of the 1950s and ‘60s, where a burgeoning stand up comic would do anything to engage the audience and keep a gig. With a quick wit and rat-a-tat delivery, Rickles developed a persona that would keep him working virtually all the way to the end. He went from the “Rat Pack” era, through comedy roasts of the 1970s, to the voice of Mr. Potato Head in the “Toy Story” series, and never...

One of the original insult comics has told his last joke. Multiple outlets confirm that Don Rickles died at his home in Los Angeles of kidney failure today, bringing a six-decade career to a close. A frequent presence on both the big and small screen, Rickles was best known for his countless appearances onstage as a comedian.

Best known to younger viewers as the voice of Mr. Potato Head in the “Toy Story” movies, Rickles came to increased prominence as a regular guest on both “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” and “The Late Show With David Letterman” after honing his craft in clubs. None were spared from his verbal jabs, including Frank Sinatra; onstage in 1957, Rickles told the singer to “Make yourself at home, Frank. Hit somebody.”
Luckily for all involved,...

Legendary comedian Don Rickles has passed away at the age of 90. According to a recent tweet by Stefan Becket, his rep said he died of Kidney failure. Amazingly, Don Rickles got his start in comedy back in the 1950s working in a Miami Beach club. Rickles specialized in “insult” comedy and he caught the attention of none other than Frank Sinatra. Rickles remarked to Sinatra, “I just saw your movie, The Pride and the Passion and I want to tell you, the cannon’s acting was great.” He added, “Make yourself at home, Frank. Hit somebody!” Sinatra, whose pet name

The biggest surprise came by way of a one-year time jump to start the season.
With everything that happened during Being Mary Jane Season 3, especially with Niecy and the tasering in the finale, I really thought there would be more of that story to come.
Yet after watching Being Mary Jane Season 4 Episode 1, I wouldn't have wanted the new season to begin in any other way.
It feels good not to have Mary Jane and Kara banging their against the same walls any longer. There are still walls, and they're still banging (in many different ways), but we won't be subjected to storylines the likes of Cece, and if all goes well, Mj won't be revisiting David again.
While Mj was led to some interesting moments of self-discovery due to her involvement with Cece, both the story and Loretta Devine deserved better overall.
And Mj and David were never going...

Bates Motel is preparing the ground for the season ahead. Here's Michael's review of this week's episode...
This review contains spoilers.

There was a sense of transition this week, that Bates Motel is making a subtle shift in both gear and direction and that the path that the season will take will be clearer from now on. Aside from the one big revelation (of which, more later) there were some significant changes made that closed off certain strands while opening others.
First of all there’s Bradley, whose ‘suicide’ has been accepted as fact by the townsfolk, and their newspaper, even if their reaction to it suggests that they might not have taken it as seriously as any other town of a similar size. White Pine Bay isn’t that large, it’s certainly small enough for everyone to know one another’s...

Offbeat suburban indie chiller “Make Yourself at Home” marks the Us film debut of popular Korean actress Song Hye Kyo, and sees her tackling a very different role to the kind of romantic comedy princess she played in the likes of television series “Hotelier” and “Full House”. Originally shot back in 2008 and released in Korea in 2010, the film was the first feature outing for director Sohn Soo Pum, who also co-wrote the script with Margaret Monaghan. The film also goes by the alternate title “Fetish”, a somewhat misleading moniker which seems to suggest explicit content, as while it is a fairly perverse affair, the focus is more on cultural differences and psychological tension than anything titillating. After a strange opening scene involving Korean Shamanism and possession, the film begins with Korean-America lawyer Peter (Rob Yang, recently in Hollywood science fiction thriller “The Adjustment Bureau”) arriving home in suburban New Jersey...

We've already posted a round-up of features we caught at this year's Kaffny--Korean American Film Festival New York (which you can read here and here)--but now we're going take a look at two films that weren't able to be part of this year's lineup because of music rights or other similar issues. They're still very much worth taking notice of, and are likely to appear in other screenings or forms at some point in the year. "Make Yourself At Home" (aka "Fetish") The debut feature from filmmaker Soopum Sohn couldn't be any more different from his Oscar winning experimental short…...
