When Fox revealed this week who exactly would be writing the next season of “The X-Files,” the reaction was relatively polarized: excitement over the return of fan favorites versus dismay that creator Chris Carter had passed up the opportunity to bring new voices into the mix. The creator brought in three former assistants to join returning Season 10 writers Glen Morgan, Darin Morgan and James Wong.

For anyone who believes a variety of diverse voices can do a lot to improve the quality of a show’s writing, this move came as a real blow. But it wasn’t really anything new for “The X-Files.” As noted by Carly Lane at Nerdist, over the course of the show’s original nine seasons, only six women in 202 episodes ever received a writing credit:
Marilyn Osborn (“Shapes”) Sara B. Charno (“Aubrey,...

After finding international success with his spiritual teachings through best-selling books The Power of Now and A New Earth, author and counselor Eckhart Tolle set his sights on children in 2008 with Milton’s Secret and its blatantly synergistic subtitle to those previous works “An Adventure of Discovery through Then, When, and the Power of Now.” Written in collaboration with Robert S. Friedman and illustrator Frank Riccio, this tale focuses upon the titular eleven-year old (soon-to-be twelve) boy as an example of the internal transformative power we all possess to stop letting the past and future dictate our actions. With help from his grandfather Howard, Milton discovers how to live in the now as the proactive person he wants to be rather than the reactive one he had become.

Tagline: "How far would you go to experience the past?" Wail Away is self-described as a survivalist horror picture. This title has recently completed production and the film involves reliving Nazi prison experiments. This is also an attempt by one of the characters to experience what his grandfather saw as a Nazi prison guard. However, the experiment goes off the rails and it becomes more real than the volunteers expected. The trailer for Wail Away is below. An austere setting awaits viewers and so do images of physical and psychological torture. This title will release later in 2012. Director: Mark Lipkin. Writers: Mark Lipkin, Guy Skinner, Rob Naumoff, and Jon Fabian. Cast: Amos Phillips, Peter Muir, Trevor Vaughan, and Sara Cooper. The trailer for Wail Away is here: Source: The Wail Away Homepage | | | Advertise Here - Contact me Michael Allen at 28Dla Subscribe to 28 Days Later: An Analysis Email...

Filmmaker Kevin Smith is currently doing a national roadshow for his latest movie, Red State. Last night, I had the opportunity to catch the screening here in Austin at the Paramount. This is a must-see movie. The most difficult aspect of this movie is describing it. The movie has elements of a dark comedy mixed with intense action thriller sometimes bordering on horror. For what Smith claims to be his second-to-last movie, he has redefined himself.
Red State opens with three high-school boys setting off for a sexual encounter they've arranged via a swinger's website. This encounter takes them to a trailer in the woods inhabited by Sara Cooper, played by 2010 Academy Award winner Melissa Leo. It doesn't take long to learn that Sara is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.
After consuming drug-laced beer, the boys find themselves prisoners of ultra conservative preacher Abin Cooper (brilliantly played by Michael Parks...
