Katt Williams wasn't even on the bill—but according to police, he apparently put on a little show anyway. Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies were called to the Comedy Store in West Hollywood in the early morning hours Wednesday after the comedian is said to have pulled a gun following a run-in with another man at the club. "There was some kind of dispute between Katt Williams and someone else at the Comedy Store," Sgt. Dave Valentine of the Lasd told E! News, noting that the incident occurred at around 2 a.m. "The dispute carried on down the street at which point it is alleged that Katt pulled out a weapon and threatened the other guy." By the time deputies arrived, Williams...

Katt Williams is being investigated after allegedly pulling out a handgun at the Comedy Store in West Hollywood at around 2:00 a.m. on Wednesday morning. In what may wind up being the least hilarious move in the 40-year-old comedian and actor's troubled career, the West Hollywood Sheriff's Department told TheWrap they responded to multiple calls alleging Williams, who was a member of the audience and not performing at the comedy club, had pulled out a firearm. “ responded with as many people as we had available to send,” said Sgt. Dave Valentine of the West Hollywood Sheriff's Department, in a statement.

Actor Brad Dourif is most commonly known for his roles in genre fare such as Exorcist 3, Grim Prairie Tales, and the Child’s Play series. In more recent years Dourif has expanded his repertoire on television with roles in Deadwood and Law & Order, but that hasn’t stopped him returning to the more creepy roles with which he made his name, such as in his latest movie Death and Cremation.
The debut of director Justin Steele, Death and Cremation is from a script by Alecc Bracero and Justin Steele, and stars Dourif along with Jeremy Sumpter (Friday Night Lights), Scott Elrod, Debbon Ayer (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), Daniel Baldwin (Homicide: Life on the Street), and Staci Keenan (My Two Dads, Step by Step) in a story that takes place:
In Crest Point, [where] people go about their day-to-day lives with no sense of urgency and standard stereotypes abound. There...

In the interests of full disclosure I will admit up front that I am a pretty big fan of Brad Dourif and love his performances in otherwise terrible films.
In addition to some questionable film choices, Dourif has recently done solid work in a number of Werner Herzog films and is probably still picking up pay checks for supplying the voice of Chucky in the Childs Play films.
He recently had a small part in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans and even managed to stand out there, against the wild eyed crazed performance by Nicholas Cage.
Brad Dourif is now playing a role that was surely made for him, a creepy funeral owner in a new thriller, Death and Cremation.
Death and Cremation is the feature film debut of Justin Steele, who in addition to directing also co-wrote the film. The film was shot on the Red One by cinematographer Akis Konstantakopoulos. Although the plot doesn’t sound that exciting...

I simply don't think there is enough Brad Dourif in cinema, or else I am looking in the wrong places. Instantly recognizable, Dourif has shown up in all sorts of genres and notable works so it is good to see him once again, this time in a new horror/thriller Death and Cremation.
In Crest Point, people go about their day-to-day lives with no sense of urgency and standard stereotypes abound. There's the high school bully with the popular girlfriend. The single mother raising her son after her husband has died. The detective who's never cracked a big case. Then there's Stan (Brad Dourif), a single 59 year old recluse who contributes to society by offering cremation services from the basement of his funeral home. Jarod Leary (Jeremy Sumpter), a bullied and fatherless 17-year-old high school outcast doesn't even try to fit in with his high school peers. Dressed in black,...
