“Hello Again” tells ten love affairs set in each decade of the 20th century, following the sexual escapades of characters with names like The Whore, The College Boy, and The Young Thing. Lachiusa is best known for writing “The Wild Party,” which developed a cult following in the years since its Broadway debut in 1999. “Hello Again” is based on “La Ronde,” the 1897 play by Arthur Schnitzler which caused an uproar when it first played Berlin and Vienna in 1920.

The movie stars six-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald, as well as similarly lauded theater actors Martha Plimpton, T.R. Knight, Cheyenne Jackson, and Rumer Willis. “Hello Again” is directed by Tom Gustafson from a screenplay by Cory Krueckeberg, the same pair behind the 2012 musical comedy “Mariachi Gringo.”

Repression can be a horrible thing. As much as our minds would like us to forget trauma and pain, it’s proven fact that it’s often more damaging than it is helpful. So discovers Jack (Rory Culkin), a young man who has a baby due with Cleo (Britt Robertson) who gets a call at work that his parents have been in a car accident and that his father has passed away. He returns to his childhood home to care for his mother Teresa (Lin Shaye). Jack starts looking into his past, discovering forgotten secrets which will literally begin to haunt him.
Jack Goes Home is a movie which is best described as chilling. When Jack is relaying to Cleo that his father died in a “by the way,” matter of fact fashion, we already know something is off. Jack is damaged. He claims he’s made peace with it,...

A few days ago, it was revealed that Megan Fox was actually fired from the "Transformers" film franchise after comparing director Michael Bay to Adolf Hitler in a magazine interview. This time, her former co-star Shia Labeouf also chimed in, adding opinion that the 25-year-old actress' "s*** talking" got her fired.
"Criticism is one thing. Then there's public name-calling, which turns into high school bashing. Which you can't do," the actor who portrays Sam Witwicky in the science fiction movie series said of his former leading lady to GQ magazine. "She started s***-talking our captain."
Shia is not the only one from the production team who has broken silence about Megan's departure from "Transformers". Many other crew also speak up, revealing about why the wife of "Beverly Hills, 90210" star Brian Austin Green got kicked out from the heroic Autobots war movie series.
"She was there for rehearsals," screenwriter Ehren Kruger remarked on Megan.

Pahrump - Call it Hof Vegas. Dennis Hof of HBO’s Cathouse no longer wants me to warn readers that his Bunny Ranch empire is in only Reno and not Las Vegas. He’s bringing his style of adult fun to the outskirts of Sin City. He called up the hotline from the middle of Crystal, Nevada to spread the news. The sounds of hammering and drills came from his end of the phone.
“We’re moving around here and getting some things done,” Dennis Hof said. “I bought two 35 year old rundown, rat trap brothels. What you’re buying is the licenses.”
The two old names were Cherry Patch Ranch and Mabel’s Whore House. The new places are Love Ranch and Dennis Hof’s Cathouse. “Those are name that are synonymous with good times.”
There are no good times for the former owner. He got arrested for bribing a county official.

Megan Fox seems to have no illusions about the source of her recent celebrity. People like her because she has a hot body not because she's a great actress, and judging by the kinds of projects she's signed up for she's embracing that. You can tell just from the titles. Aside from Transformers 2 she's in Whore and Jennifer's Body. Now add a half-naked mermaid movie onto that upcoming, sex-soaked filmography. NowMagazine, citing a rather vague and mysterious source called "Daily Star" says she's signed up to play a half babe, half fish in a movie adaptation of the comic Fathom. And, since it's Megan Fox, the producers promise she'll spend a lot of time wearing a bikini. In the film, Megan will star as a character named Aspen, who is a member of a race called The Blue. In the comics, Aspen first appears as a human girl with amnesia,...

Another musical is set for a remake. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Alan Parker’s 1980 Oscar-winning “Fame” is the next one in line to receive a big-screen update, with Thomas Dekker attached to star in the lead role.
Dekker, who can be seen in television’s “Terminator: The Sarah Chronicles,” would play Marco, a working-class kid trying everything possible to get into a prestigious New York high school for the arts.
Kevin Tancharoen is directing the film, which was written by Allison Burnett and Aline Brosh McKenna. The trade says the project will be produced on $25 million.
Parker’s original musical won two Academy Awards in 1981: best original score and best original song.
Dekker has appeared in several TV shows, including “7th Heaven” and “Heroes.” He also wrote, directed and starred in “Whore,” an indie drama with Megan Fox that will open later this October.

Thomas Dekker wants to live forever.
The star of Fox's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" is in talks to take a lead role in MGM's remake of the 1980 musical "Fame." Dekker is gunning to play Marco, a working-class kid with some gnarly acting chops who is competing with thousands of other hopefuls to get into and survive an elite New York public high school for the arts.
Written by Allison Burnett, the revamp will be directed by Kevin Tancharoen, a director and choreographer who has worked in TV (MTV's "DanceLife"), on music videos and on tours for such singers as Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson. Mark Canton ("300") is producing the $25 million project along with Gary Lucchesi and Tom Rosenberg of Lakeshore Entertainment ("Elegy").
The producers have been holding open casting calls in New York and Los Angeles since the spring (video auditions posted by wannabes also pepper YouTube).

Though I don't believe she's actually the star of the new movie Whore, Megan Fox gets top billing on its disturbing new poster. Play to your strengths, I guess.
The film, from 20-year-old writer-director Thomas Dekker (better known as John Connor on The Sarah Connor Chronicles and his dozen episodes as Zach on Heroes), follows some girls fresh off the bus in Hollywood. Naturally, they all want to be actresses, but finding fame sometimes has consequences.
Dekker has put together an ensemble that includes Fox, Rumer Willis, his Connor co-star Lena Headey, and The Hedgehog, Ron Jeremy. Can't have a movie called Whore without Ron Jeremy. Unless you're Theresa Russell, but that was a long time ago. Here's the poster, courtesy of IMP Awards.
Whore is still aiming for a limited release this fall.

There is a film called WHORE coming out. It stars Megan Fox. Right there, that should be enough for everyone of you to pay your twelve bucks and watch this thing. If however, you MUST know what the film is about, I shall tell you. Not that it matters. Essentially the film examines the lives of a group of young Hollywood hopefuls, who find that in order to succeed in the industry, they must give up a lot more than they bargained for. Read into that what you will. Again, the film is...

In no time at all, a new interview in this month's GQ magazine with Megan Fox, in which she reveals she had some sort of "relationship" with a Russian stripper named Nikita made it around all the movie blogs. Yup, the movie blogs. All the movie blogs were making sure to carry stories about Megan Fox and her Russian stripper relationship in which the two would play around with "perfume" and "body spray" and, well, like, you know, "girlie stuff". Fox even talks about how she tried to get her out of the Russian stripper racket while saying, "She smelled like angels," and how she "was sort of a tough badass, but she'd do these beautiful slow dances to Aerosmith ballads." Cue the music... However I am not sure if we blast "Kalinka" or "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing". As a matter of fact, I wouldn't even talk...

I am sure there are some child actors that have made the transformation from child star to adult star with relative ease. However, none of them are coming to mind at the moment and I still have echoes of Christian Bale from The Dark Knight interviews telling me, "I would definitely try and convince anyone in my family and near to me not to do so at such a young age." He is referring to a role he played in Stephen Spielberg's Empire of the Sun at the age of 13. Well, at the age of 11 Miley Cyrus had a role in Tim Burton's Big Fish and by the age of 14 she was Hannah Montana. Since then she has posed in racy photos for Vanity Fair and been seen online in photos many consider unbecoming for a girl her age. She is now 15-years-old and it seems she may...

After losing a bunch of weight for the upcoming Jennifer's Body, Megan Fox was told by producers that she'd have to pack on the pounds for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Of course, we don't want her to put on too much weight; it is a Michael Bay movie, after all. Can't have a fatty in a leading role...
The Fox news was on Fox News, where Megan revealed her health and beauty secrets: "I should have toned up for Transformers but I'm really lazy. I had to put on weight...I'd lost a lot of weight and got really scrawny, but I was told I had to put on size for Transformers because Michael doesn't like skinny girls."
“I just stopped eating,” she admitted of her time working on Jennifer's Body. “I don’t eat very healthy anyway — I have a serious sugar tooth, so now I eat red-velvet...
