A new episode of the Wtf Really Happened to This Horror Movie? video series has just been released, and in this one we’re looking into the real world crimes that inspired director Brian Yuzna’s 1996 horror film The Dentist (watch it Here). To find out all about it, check out the video embedded above.
Scripted by Stuart Gordon, Dennis Paoli, and Charles Finch, The Dentist has the following synopsis: Dr. Alan Feinstone is a rich and successful Beverly Hills dentist. There’s only one problem, he’s insane. Dr. Feistone loves perfection, and he expects it of everyone. Unfortunately, no one is perfect. This unacceptable fact annoys the good doctor and leads him to commit his one small imperfection: murder.
The film stars Corbin Bernsen, Linda Hoffman, Michael Stadvec, Ken Foree, Tony Noakes, Molly Hagan, Patty Toy, Jan Hoag, Virginya Keehne, Earl Boen, Christa Sauls, Mark Ruffalo, Lise Simms,...

Scandal fans know Jeff Perry as the manipulative Cyrus Beene, a man who will stop at nothing to protect President Fitzgerald "Fitz" Grant. Halfway through the show's third season, the storylines are getting more outrageous than ever before. Popsugar sat down with Perry to discuss his infamous character's shifting psyche, plot rumors, and the actor's real-life adoration for Kerry Washington. Keep reading to learn more about Perry's perspective, and scroll to the end of the story to watch highlights from our in-studio interview. Popsugar: I think is going to be a very exciting season for Cyrus. Jeff Perry: Cyrus is a man who is hardwired and adores his job, as strange as it is, as a chief of staff. Very much like Olivia Pope's job, played brilliantly by Kerry Washington. Trying to fix everybody else's problems is their DNA. That is their comfort zone. That's what Cyrus loves. In...

Children’s Hospital is consistently one of the funniest, most absurd shows on television and for that, we have Rob Corddry to thank.
Corddry, who created the show (and also produces, writes and directs) stars as Dr. Blake Downs, a member of the “clown race” who happens to believe in the healing power of laughter instead of actual medicine.
I talked to Rob at Comic-Con on why 15 minutes is the perfect length for the show, how they are planning a stage play of one of the episodes and the demolition of the hospital they use as their set.
Children’s Hospital airs on Midnight, Thursdays on Adult Swim.
For the full interview, click onto the audio link above or download from iTunes.
Your show is funnier than most shows and you can do so much with your 15 minutes. I guess it’s kind of liberating to be able to do...

Remember that quirky kid from Arrested Development? Man, he was awesome in Zombieland. Or, wait, was that the weird kid from The Squid and the Whale? I can’t remember. Then there was that guy from the Facebook movie–what was his name? Same guy? That doesn’t seem right.
Since the release of Zombieland, the Internet has been abuzz about Jesse Eisenberg and Michael Cera. “They’re, like, the same guy, man.” It’s true, the two actors are fairly similar, both physically and professionally. Cera would look like Eisenberg if he grew facial hair. (He can, he’s just contractually obligated not to.) They’ve played similar roles, too: Eisenberg’s lead in Zombieland had many moviegoers questioning, “What would that squirrely kid from Superbad do in a zombie apocalypse?”
Michael Cera seems to be spending his career being typecast as his Arrested Development character. His roles in Superbad,...

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- A well-executed, often-hilarious romantic comedy with a fine cast of fresh faces, "Confessions of a Sexist Pig" contains more old-fashioned charm than shocking new data on the raw agendas of rogue males.
Positively received by the premiere audience Saturday at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, "Confessions" could connect with receptive young-adult audiences if deftly handled in a limited theatrical rollout. Good word-of-mouth and reviews will come in handy when it moves to cable and video.
Writer-director-producer Sandy Tun ("Across the Tracks") conceived the project in the early '90s but was unable to get it off the ground with a relatively unknown Brad Pitt attached. The premise features numerous chatty monologues by the lead character -- a womanizing actor -- and an increasingly fun mixture of "real" footage and scenes from the soap opera he stars in.
Jack Edward Kerr) believes that most men think about sex a lot, imagine having sex with many different women and by nature are not monogamous. In short, women are easily flattered and seduced, so why not take advantage of the situation? Handsome and exuding confidence, Jack makes a practice of getting involved with his co-stars, and the primary plot concerns his unnerving experience with a spunky new leading lady, Anne (Taylor Howard).
Jack plays a hotshot doctor in a "General Hospital"-like show, with Anne as the new specialist. On-screen, they quickly progress from spontaneous romance and lust to more serious relationship issues; off-screen, it takes all of Jack's skills to convince Anne to agree (finally) to a date.
But she sets limits on the relationship, wanting only sex and no deeper commitment or attachment. Being used in the same callous way he has treated so many in the past prompts Jack to examine his behavior and experiences. Soon, he's the one falling in love, and she starts to respond.
On a parallel track, Jack's goofy, airhead rival on the show, Troy (Michael Trucco), makes a play for daft, romantic co-star Tracy (Lauren Graham). The two sex machines are obviously well-matched, and it's cute the way Jack gives them both advice and their lusty affair progresses.
Jack and Tracy have had their share of casual sex, but it's his dallying with the wife (Anneliza Scott) of a friend (Sal Viscuso) that eventually backfires and leads to his humiliation and seeming conversion. The hothouse atmosphere is thoroughly exploited, but the film is fairly tame.
The performances are surprisingly good, particularly those of Howard and Kerr. They have chemistry together and charisma to spare, while Trucco and Graham are equally attractive as well-conceived lovebirds.
