"Neighbors From Hell"

My buddy Andy Vick, who's partnered with me on one of my scripted shows, was one of the 5 writers on this show that's about to bow on TBS. All I gotta say is Snorfin! Can't wait to watch. Here's the trailer..

Coachella Set Times

They're out, here they are below, in order..

And if you have an iPhone, get the free Coachella App. Organizes your day, quick access to the forum, even uses GPS to place a marker where you've parked - so when you stumble out in whatever stupor you'll be in, your trusty phone will lead you home, instead of shacking up with some random midwest dudes in an RV who say you're the coolest person they've met today. See you kids in a few days..

"Trash of the Titans"

Sorry friends, wish I could be up in arms about "Clash of the Titans", like I was about "Avatar". This version was nothing but a contemporary, hollow version of its former self. Barely any storyline, bad CG effects, and post 3D conversion that barely made a difference. In fact, the effects in this film almost felt as cheap as those History Channel graphics, not kidding! The film really just proved 2 things - big budget effects usually hurt story + trailers can be powerfully deceiving! Even Medusa was, well, hot - nothing creepy about her. The reveal of her was anything but climactic. Here's a snap of what the new Medusa looks like..

Comparatively to the original Medusa..

Looks like Liam Neeson has notched as least 2 crap films for 2010, including the upcoming "A-Team". Save your $, wait for it on DVD, cable even. And hope that part 2 will be better written.

Hulu

This morning had breakfast with Alex Kruglov in Content Acquisition & International at Hulu. If there have been any forces that have truly transformed the media landscape in the last couple years, it has got to be Hulu. Their aggressive content gathering has essentially made the ad rev-share business model commonplace. PS - the avocado and cheddar cheese breakfast burrito at Lemon Moon is pretty good! There's Alex..

While on the topic of Hulu, my first film "Rock Fresh" is being featured on the site - in fact Alex told me it beat out many of the big shows and studio movies last week. According to him, it tallied the 3rd highest number of views for the day it was featured on the front page. It's weird to see your first baby still walking. Made "Rock Fresh" back in '03, here's the embed..



You can also buy the discounted DVD direct from us - $15 and comes with a free movie poster.

"The Vault 12"

I'm genuinely curious about this upcoming web series. The premise is interesting, lock up 12 people 40 feet below the ground, and see what happens. Could be a hit or miss, but it will be a good case study to see if viewers are and will be willing to pay a subscription premium in the near future. Here's the trailer from their site..

D'Amore

Today, sat down with my friend Caroline D'Amore and her manager Jeb Brandon. We're 3 building on something new. Here we are at the offices of Kritzer Levine Wilkins Griffin Entertainment..

Interestingly enough, KLWG Entertainment is the same firm/company where Evan Ross is managed, who is attached to my feature "Backpackers". The Wood is truly a small town.

Velvet Heart / Spring 2010 Campaign

Here's a new video I just shot and edited for Velvet Heart, a contemporary women's line. The shoot was all over Downtown LA, features Chloe of LA Models..
