Price Check

<i>Price Check</i>

Price Check, a new film by writer-director Michael Walker, is being billed as a comedy about the “high price of a middle-class life.” It stars Eric Mabius (Ugly Betty) as Pete Cozy, a husband and father who works a 9-to-5 gig in the pricing department of a midsize supermarket chain. It’s not the most glamorous of jobs, but it’s almost enough to support his wife, Sara (Annie Parisse), and their young son. Though the bills are piling up, Pete and Sara make due with what they have. (And don’t pick up the phone when the creditors call.)...  read more

Happy Tears Review

<em>Happy Tears</em> Review

Release Date: Feb. 19 Director/Writer: Mitchell Lichtenstein Cinematography: Jamie Anderson Starring: Parker Posey, Demi Moore, Rip Torn, Ellen Barkin, Christian Camargo Studio/Run Time: Roadside Attractions, 95 mins.

Happy Tears is Mitchell Lichtenstein’s second feature (his first, dark 2007 comedy Teeth, remains the definitive text on vagina dentata). Somewhat appropriately, Happy Tears’...  read more

The album's release must have ignited Waters' passion for the festive holiday, because last year it was announced that he'd be helming a children's Christmas movie. (Yes, you read that right too.) And, as is standard in the World of Waters, the story only gets stranger. Recently, it was...  read more
