The Hell on Wheels TV Show Trailer has premiered. David Von Ancken‘s Hell on Wheels (2011) stars Anson Mount, Dominique McElligott, Common, Colm Meaney, and Ben Esler. Hell on Wheels‘ plot synopsis: “Hell on Wheels is a contemporary western about post-Civil War America that focuses on a Confederate soldier who sets out to exact revenge on the Union soldiers who have killed his wife. His journey takes him west to ‘Hell on Wheels,’ a dangerous, raucous, lawless melting pot of a town that travels with and services the construction of the first transcontinental railroad, an engineering feat unprecedented for its time. The series documents the railroad’s incredible feat of engineering and construction as well as the institutionalized greed and corruption, the immigrant experience, and the plight of the newly emancipated African-Americans during reconstruction. Over time, ‘Hell on Wheels’ chronicles this potent turning point in our nation’s history, and...

Conan writer and Huffington Post contributor Guy Nicolucci released the first episode of the bizarre Funny Or Die web series The Ghost of Tom Carvel and a Real Topless Woman earlier this week. The first episode, which features a guest appearance by comedian Andy Richter, introduces a show that is exactly what it sounds like: the ghost of legendary ice cream maker Tom Carvel (voiced by Conan writer Brian Stack) hosts a talk show with a half-naked woman (played by actress Dru Mouser). Don't get too excited—her chest is blurred out. Guy told Punchline Magazine, “I bought a friend a Carvel ice cream cake for his birthday and it got me on a two-day jag of talking like Carvel. When I finished annoying my wife and burning my throat out, I found this article that said Carvel might have been murdered. After that the series kind of fell into place.

Crass, cheap and commercially blotto, "Tequila Body Shots" is notable for resurrecting and trying to exploit almost every unflattering cliche of Mexico -- from gastronomical eruptions to corrupt police -- while its lily-white protagonists encounter magical healers, seductive wenches and vengeful, macho ghosts.
The feature debut of commercial director Tony Shyu -- who also wrote the screenplay -- "Tequila" has a timely aspect in that one of the leads is an insufferably geeky "Star Wars" fan who at one point says to his object of desire, "You have so much more Force". Nonetheless, only a trickle of ticket-buyers will imbibe this watered-down margarita of a comedy.
Three brainless caballeros, Johnny (Joey Lawrence), Paul (Nathan Anderson) and Al (Josh Marchette) are booze- and babe-hungry dudes with little experience in women or strong drink. Hanging out at a bar, they try to dodge bespectacled Ted Robert Patrick Benedict), one of those forever optimistic losers who makes the cooler character nervous because he boldly if unsuccessfully pursues the ladies.
They meet Tamlyn (Dru Mouser), Angela (Jennifer Lyons) and Linda (Senta Moses), who are planning to attend the same Halloween party in Mexico our heroes are headed for. In the film's weak horror-movie subplot, Tamlyn has weird visions and an old boyfriend with a short temper, both of which figure later in the story.
Out for a stroll in Mexico, two of the three guys are suffering from eating fish tacos when they meet Doc (Henry Darrow), who prescribes specially concocted tequila drinks. Unafflicted Johnny is given another kind of brew that will help him in his love life. As a result he can hear the thoughts of people around him, and becomes aware that something evil is after Tamlyn.
Stephanie Arellano lends a little, much-needed sexiness as a friendly waitress who turns out to be involved somehow with the "return of Hector," a legendary hothead (Rene L. Moreno) who killed his wife and rises from the grave every Day of the Dead to repeat his crime of passion.
Among the principals, Mouser makes the strongest impression -- but that's not saying much for a film that haphazardly builds to its dubious payoff, a tequila-dribbling-from-their-lips kiss between her character and Lawrence's.
