A discussion about the Boise State 'bi-curious' women study got a little awkward on 'Today' (weekdays, 9Am Et on NBC) as Savannah Guthrie led a panel discussion featuring Starr Jones, Donny Deustch and Dr. Nancy Snyderman. The study says that half of all women are bi-curious, and that 60% of women have been attracted to another woman, but the only thing the panel demonstrated was that Deutsch is kind of into Savannah Guthrie.
From the start, Deutsch had trouble controlling his excitement. "Duh! Duh!," he said after Guthrie read the news. "It's not as natural as a guy being bi-curious," he said. Dr. Nancy Snyderman backed him up.

*full disclosure: a screener of this film was provided by Image Entertainment.
Director: Jon Keeyes.
Writer: Roy Sallows.
The straight-to-dvd market is full of hits and misses. Sometimes one finds a gem, but sometimes one finds a film such as Fall Down Dead. This title, released by Image Entertainment on DVD June 14th, suffers from averageness, which is not a quality that you want in a competitive film market. One hour plus of a cat-and-mouse chase plotline between villain and protagonist just does create enough excitement. The writing from Roy Sallows (The Conspiracy of Fear) creates great characters, but not much tension in this 90 minute thriller?
The main hero is Christie played by (Dominique Swain), who has caught the eye of a serial killer (the Picasso Killer). Two detectives (Mehmet Gunsur, R. Keith Harris) also attempt to handcuff the Picasso Killer (Udo Kier), but they are merely a sidebar to...

A few weeks ago, I told you all about my love/hate relationship with mythologized TV shows. This week we turn to a genre that’s its exact opposite – those tidily self-contained procedural dramas where the only on-going storyline is whether or not any of the main characters are going to shtup.
I like to think of this as “Law and Orgasm” television. “Law” because of these shows’ tendency to focus on some crime/mystery element. And “Orgasm” because, while they might have some colorful variations along the way, they culminate in endings that, while satisfying, are pretty much foregone conclusions.
When I was a kid, I gobbled these shows up like jelly beans. Shows like The Rockford Files, and Charlie’s Angels, and Hart to Hart, and my absolute favorite, The Hardy Boys/ Nancy Drew Mysteries.
Each in their own way had very personal appeal to me. I fantasized,...

Indie filmmaker Jon Keeyes, whose credits include the well-received American Nightmare and Suburban Nightmare, sent along news that his latest chiller Fall Down Dead will receive limited theatrical release via his Highland Myst Entertainment and New Film International. The movie will open in December in select cities nationwide; Keeyes passed on some photos, which you can see below.
Fall Down Dead stars genre fave Udo Kier (first photo) as The Picasso Killer, a serial murderer who turns his victims into works of art, and Lolita’s Dominique Swain (second photo) is Christie, a young woman trapped (along with six others) in a building one night with the madman. The late Carradine (third photo) appears as Wade, a bumbling security guard, and R. Keith Harris and Mehmet Gunsur co-star as detectives.
“This movie has everything I love about horror films,” Keeyes tells Fango. “Quirky characters with great conflict, an original twist on the killer,...
