Nora (Rebecca Creskoff) is going through a rough patch. Still reeling from the loss of her young daughter and the breakup of her marriage, she’s trying out a new form of therapy to cope. Said therapy involves the annual tradition of spending a weekend at a lakeside cabin with her friends… and maybe a sharp axe. That’s the premise of Rebecca Eskreis’ ClearMind, a movie which mashes together a friends-reminiscing-type drama with a slasher movie, while not being either.

Exclusive: Film Seekers has acquired international sales rights to dark-comedy-thriller ClearMind about a virtual reality therapy experiment that takes a deadly turn for a Cannes sales launch.
The Northern California-shot drama revolves around old friends whose lakeside getaway is disrupted by the unexpected appearance of a grieving woman that they had dropped from their group.

Creskoff will recur as Melba Locklear, a Sarasota native who was a child model for catalogs and print campaigns throughout the southeast.

A lengthy rehabilitation followed, during which she met Mac, who was battling a cocaine addiction. They married shortly thereafter. Today, Melba is the picture of a Sarasota mover and shaker.

A review of the final "Mad Men" season premiere coming up just as soon as I try your veal... "That's not a coincidence! It's a sign!" -Ken "Of what?" -Don "The life not lived." -Ken A handsome man in a grey suit once asked, "But what is happiness? It's a moment before you need more happiness." And at a moment in time when that man and many of the people he worked with seem to have acquired a boatload of professional happiness — or, at least, money — a ghost danced in front of him and sang about how the best things in life are free. And as "Mad Men" returns from its last hiatus, having carried its characters out of the 1960s altogether, "Severance" is a reminder of how elusive happiness is for everyone, and how the life not lived seems at once far more appealing and impossible to actually explore.

Many names are discussed and sometimes even floated without there being any formal offers. At times, these casual discussions take on a life of their own, and some are eager to break a story without knowing the facts. Neil Patrick Harris received the Academy’s formal offer. He is the perfect choice for the Oscars and will be the consummate host.” Anderson Cooper ticks off a reporter by refusing to take a selfie with him at the Canadian shooting site “No, I will not take a photo with you on a day where someone was killed!

Q: Given that we all know the source material so well, how wedded to that are you? By now we've become so invested in the characters as we know them from the series that we don't want them to end up there. Is that possible, or do they need to end up there ultimately?

This week, Michael Vartan joins A&E’s Bates Motel as George, the brother of Norma’s new friend Christine (Rebecca Creskoff), who takes an interest in Norma. “What’s funny about George is that I was told absolutely nothing. Literally, until the third or fourth episode, he didn’t have a last name, he didn’t have a profession, didn’t really know if he was a good or a bad guy.

Bradley might be gone from the world of "Bates Motel" (at least for now), but a new visitor is coming to White Pine Bay. At the end of Season 2, episode 2 "Shadow of a Doubt," Norma's estranged brother Caleb showed up looking for his sister.
Considering the horrible stories Norma had to say about Caleb at the end of Season 1, he likely won't be very well received next episode. A new trailer for episode 3, "Caleb," reveals that the arrival of Caleb comes at a very tense time for all three members of the Bates family.
"Just having a new family show up into the relationship kind of throws a curve ball at everybody, and you wonder why has this guy not been here? Why has he not been here? What's going on?" Max Thieriot told Zap2it at the Season 2 premiere. "It's exciting just to meet a new family member because...
