Highway patrol officers hear all kinds of excuses for speeding. But Mark Ross didn't really offer one. Pulled over for speeding Sunday, he just broke down crying. Ross was driving to Detroit to visit his mother, Jamika McClain, after hearing that his 15-year-old sister Eliza had been killed in a car accident overnight. "I knew I was going to jail due to a petty warrant," Ross wrote on Facebook. "The police called Wayne County and they refuse to come get me because of the distance." With his car hooked up to a tow truck, Ross, who hadn't slept since he'd heard the news,...

The legendary New York soccer team, the New York Cosmos, most famous as the team that “brought Pelé to America,” will be the subject of a new scripted TV series.

Chicago – It’s taken quite a few movies for me to warm up to Chris Messina. Perhaps it wasn’t his fault that he kept getting typecast as oafish, self-absorbed jerks. In my review of Dana Adam Shapiro’s flawed Oscilloscope release, “Monogamy,” I confessed that every time Messina’s face showed up onscreen, I was “suddenly filled with the intense desire to punch it.”
It’s only been in the last year or so that I began to appreciate Messina’s fearlessness as a performer. He isn’t afraid to explore the dark terrain avoided by fellow actors more concerned with likability than truth. The same could be said of Zoe Kazan, whose debut feature script for the marvelous romance, “Ruby Sparks,” gave Messina his best role to date as a typically suave ladykiller blindsided by the all-too-perfect woman who entered the life of his hopelessly neurotic brother.

I have always been a fan of old school, pulp science fiction and really anything derived from it, like The Rocketeer or the various incarnations of The Shadow, The Phantom and even the very first time Batman made an appearance on celluloid was in a very pulp fashion. So, needless to say, I’m always jazzed when someone wants to delve into retro-future, pulp/film noir-style projects.
