If you find yourself trying to place that familiar face in The Possession, that's Jewish rap/reggae star Matisyahu performing the Jewish exorcism on a little girl who's been possessed by a Dybbuk (a demon that's been let out of a box meant to store it for eternity). If you're surprised that the musician is now acting, consider that he's been doing so before he ever started writing original music. (He even previously shot a tiny indie film with Elisabeth Moss called A Buddy Story, but it wasn't widely distributed). Now that he's shaved his beard, he's hoping to branch out and play a wide range of characters. Matis took a break from his current Spark Seeker album tour to chat with Vulture about going full-frontal in Equus, getting rid of his facial hair, and losing a role to Justin Timberlake.What was your experience with acting before this? As a kid,...

Those who watch AMC's phenomenal "Mad Men" must have relished the recent episode where typically straight-laced/mousy Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) went on a wild epic bender of cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana and movie theater friskiness with a stranger.
Now they can see fan fave Moss really cut loose in the amiable new indie flick "A Buddy Story," the trailer for which has just debuted on Yahoo! Movies. Fyi, the "Buddy" of the title describes both the main dude's name and his relationship with Moss' character. Super clever, eh?
Buddy (Gavin Bellour) is a struggling NYC musician on tour with his pet turtle. Susan (Moss) is Buddy's neighbor looking to get away from an abusive boyfriend. She winds up tagging along as he strums his guitar and wears plaid shirts and brown hoodies across the country, providing Buddy with some (platonic) company, perspective on his life and perhaps a new #1 fan. Together they encounter biker bars,...

As Mad Men's Peggy Olson, Elisabeth Moss rarely gets to let her hair down, figuratively or literally, so it's a nice change to see an eccentric Moss in the indie musical A Buddy Story. Written and directed by Marc Erlbaum, the movie features original music by Gavin Bellour, who plays the singer-songwriter Buddy. It's being compared to 2006's Once because of its use of original music sung by the characters.

As the hard-nosed Peggy Olsen on Mad Men, actress Elisabeth Moss is more often offered character arcs involving office politics and battles against sexism than she is enviable romance. So it's exhilarating to see Moss get her shot at a romantic lead in the music-driven indie A Buddy Story. Here she portrays Susan, a modern girl with an abusive boyfriend and a hopeful crush on Buddy, the lightly bearded singer-songwriter next door played by Gavin Bellour. When Buddy and his pet turtle pack up to go on tour, Susan takes the opportunity to escape her troubles by tagging along on a road trip ripe with possibilities. A Buddy Story's writer-director Marc Erlbaum found inspiration for the film in the ambitions of his high school pal Teddy Goldstein, who skipped college in favor of pursuing his dream to make music and tour the country. And so Erlbaum scribed a story...
