The premiere for Platinum Dunes’ A Nightmare on Elm Street was held last night at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood, CA. I would have attended, but I fell asleep (ba-rump-pum!). I am, however, catching a screening of the flick tonight and should have a review ready for my new upcoming Muertos at the Movies segment.
Attending the event were stars Jackie Earle Haley, Rooney Mara, Thomas Dekker, Kyle Gallner, Clancy Brown, Connie Britton, and Platinum Dunes co-founder Michael Bay. Sadly, it appears Katie Cassidy was absent during the shindig.
Among the celebrities spotted were “Spartacus” babe Erin Cummings, Shannon Elizabeth (Night of the Demons), Playboy’s Kendra Wilkinson, McLovin’ himself Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Kick-Ass), Efren “Vote Pedro” Ramirez (Napoleon Dynamite), Nicky Whelan (Halloween 2), Jordana Brewster (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning), Lisa Wilcox (Nightmare on Elm Street 5), Kali Hawk (Couple’s Retreat), Bridget Marquardt (Scary Movie 4), and Freddy rival Jason, aka Derek Mears (Friday the 13th).
Despite their roles as tramps-turned-human-punching-bags in director Michael Winterbottom’s controversial adaptation of the Jim Thompson’s 1952 novel The Killer Inside Me, Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba appeared to be in a playful mood during the film’s premiere at the 9th annual Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
The sexy duo held hands and posed for photographers during the red carpet event. Alba even appear to cop a feel on Hudson’s cooter. After the premiere, Alba and Hudson partied with Winterbottom and costar Casey Affleck at the film’s after-party.
The Killer Inside Me follows sadistic sociopath Lou Ford (Affleck), a 29-year-old Texas lawman engaged in a beat, fuck, and kill spree.
The film’s extreme use of misogynistic sex and violence caused a shit-storm of criticism at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, inciting vocal protest and walkouts (click here to see the good stuff offending scenes). Regardless, IFC picked up the North American rights to the film for $1.5 million.

Sara Paxton has signed on to headline director Ti West’s haunted-hotel thriller The Innkeepers. The film is being shot in Connecticut at the Yankee Pedlar Inn, a hotel long believed to be truly haunted.
Paxton and costar Pat Healy will play the last remaining hotel clerks working during the haunted Yankee Pedlar’s final days. Top Gun’s Kelly McGillis also stars as one of the hotel’s creepy guests.
The film’s synopsis reads:
THE INNKEEPERS is centered around the final two employees working in a haunted hotel before it goes out of business. After over one hundred years in business, The Yankee Pedlar Hotel is about to close its doors for good. The last remaining clerks, Claire (Paxton), a twenty something that has come to terms with her lot in life, and Luke (Healy), a computer-smart loner, are convinced that the hotel is haunted and are determined to prove it.
As time ticks down to the final days of operation, mysterious guests check in including Leanne Rease-Jones (Kelly McGillis), a former TV actress turned psychic, and an old man insistent on staying in room 353. As several strange occurrences begin to add up, both Claire and Luke must make the crucial decision on what to believe and what not to believe…
Paxton, who has a string of family-friendly features, broke out of her good girl image with her starring role in 2009’s brutally violent—and so-much-better-than-the-original—remake of Wes Craven’s The Last House on the Left.
The Innkeepers is West’s followup to his mind-numbingly dull and highly overrated The House of the Devil.
For those of you keeping track, Danny Trejo has starred for Robert Rodriguez as Razor Charlie in From Dusk Till Dawn, Navaja (Spanish for blade) in Desperado, and Machete (Spanish for machete) in the upcoming revenge-thriller of the same name.
Now, he is set to play Chuchillo (Spanish for knife) in the Rodriguez-produced reboot of 1987’s Predator.
Check it out:
If Chuchillo isn’t the last man standing, I will have lost all faith in Robert Rodriguez. I mean what’s Adrien Brody gonna do? Sneeze on the Predators with that big schnoz? C’mon.
Predators is directed by nimrod Antal and stars Danny Trejo, Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne, Walton Goggins, Topher Grace, and Alice Braga. The film opens on July 9.
New episodes of HBO’s “True Blood” won’t begin to air until June 13, but you can quench your thirst for supernatural sleaze with the show’s first minisode, featuring vampire sheriff Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) and his sexy sidekick Pam (Kristin Bauer) auditioning human dancers for their Fangtasia nightclub.

“LOST” was a rerun last night. I didn’t know the show was taking a week off before airing its final episodes up to the series finale on May 23. Needless-to-say, I was very upset and thought the terrorist had finally won. But, I’d be damned if I was going to watch Ryan Murphy’s serialized gay wet-dream “Glee” instead. So, I hit the web in search of foot fetish porn and some lighthearted “LOST” themed fare.

Knowing that this is “LOST’s” final season has made me change my once reckless lifestyle. I’ve said goodbye to unhealthy diet, binge drinking, and paint-sniffing. I drive the speed limit every day and avoid Vallarta markets, Red Box kiosks, and any place where people get stabbed on a regular basis. My goal is to stay alive until all the “LOST” programming on May 23 is over.

So, to keep my sanity in between episodes, I watch a lot of fun and cute fan made videos featuring the “LOST” cast in funny scenarios. I also look for stuff like the illustrations you see here depicting my favorite “LOST” characters as Saturday morning cartoons!
On top with old Smokie.
The cartoons you see here were created by artist Michael Blaine Meyers Jr. You can purchase posters of the illustrations at his website.
“LOST” returns next week with a new episode entitled … “The Candidate.”
A Nightmare on Elm Street opens April 30.
