Being Human stars Sam Witwer, Meaghan Rath and Sam Huntington. Based on the acclaimed BBC series of the same name created by Toby Whithouse. The series airs on SyFy every Monday and you can catch the next episode February 11th. In the series, leading everyday lives is a lot harder than it looks for three supernatural roommates – vampire Aidan, ghost Sally and werewolf Josh – who share their secrets and a Boston brownstone. Together they learn that there are fates worse than death and more to life – and the afterlife – than most "normal" humans could ever imagine. Season 3, Episode 5 Liam is determined to turn Josh and Nora against Aidan, who has more immediate concerns when Kenny begins to suspect that Aidan is a vampire. Meanwhile, Sally and Max grow closer at the funeral home....

We come to Fantastic Fest for the weird. I've said it a few times before, and it is worth saying again. When you come to a festival such as this one, you see plenty of action movies, plenty of martial arts, sci-fi and of course, some horror. You also see some weird. In the weird column, I would like to enter Kenny Begins. It is quite simply the weirdest, most insane and possibly most deviously enjoyable films that I've seen here at Fantastic Fest. It's Swedish. And that's just the beginning. The film follows the converging stories of two misfits, a "galaxy hero" wannabe from a distant sector of the universe, who is trying to graduate starfighter school before the money runs out and his mom makes him become a hairdresser. On Earth, we meet Pontus, a gimpy, slow outcast who is picked on daily because he lives "on the other side of the tracks." When...

Film festivals are often a conumdrum for me because I sometimes wonder how they get started and, more to the point, who picks the films that get shown at them. My problem is that the films selected for many of the festivals don’t usually seem all that appealing (at least to me) and are often a collection of “art for art’s sake” films overwhelmed by their own sense of self-importance.
Fortunately, I don’t have this problem with the Fantastic Fest in Austin, which runs from September 24th to October 1st. The films selected for this festival represent an eclectic mix of genres and filmmakers and what I consider to be some of the most interesting, innovative and creative films being produced today. Sure, they’re not all potential Hollywood blockbusters, nor are they for everyone, but they are all pretty much guaranteed to be interesting, entertaining and in their own way,...

Hey who said that the U.S. was the only country that could parody Star Wars? It seems that Sweden has come up with their own answer to Spaceballs, and it's only 20 years too late! Carl Åstrand and Mats Lindberg created the TV series Kenny Starfighter back in the late '90s, about a dim-witted hero who drives a space-bus and fights the evil Dr. Deo. Now the character comes to the big screen with one of the most expensive Swedish productions ever: Kenny Begins! Okay, okay, I know it's more than just a straight up Star Wars parody, and it does actually look like fun. The trailer doesn't have English subtitles unfortunately, but you can certainly get a sense of the look and feel of the film. It hits theatres this week in Sweden, but I have no idea if this will ever find its way to North America.

Now, the Spaceballs comparison is not entirely accurate in that Calle Åstrand and Mats Lindberg’s Kenny Begins is - as far as I can tell - a wholly original creation as opposed to being a parody but on every other level this thing looks as though it could be a companion piece to the Mel Brooks scifi comedy classic. The broad humor, the hysterically lo-fi effects, the goofy creatures - I’m particularly partial to the fan-headed guys - are all in full effect.
Kenny Starfighter is probably the worst student the Hero Galaxy Academy has ever had. Kenny’s parents have now grown tired of paying for his studies and give him an ultimatum. Take your exams or become a hairdresser. In pursuit of his exam grades, Kenny accidentally crash-lands on Earth. He bumps into Pontus a limping 15-year old boy with poor eyesight who is bullied in school.
