I became a fan of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers several years ago by a chance encounter with a friend's iPod. I became obsessed and ended up going through what I thought was his whole catalogue. I classified him as a classic rock artist who was underappreciated, no longer relevant, and patted myself on the back for "getting it." So when I heard that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were coming to Seattle on August 19, I grabbed my credit card and headed to my laptop, ready to buy a general admission ticket to Neumos or the Showbox…maybe the Moore Theater. After all, if the bands that I listened to in high school were playing those venues when they came to town, that's where I'd find Tom Petty.
I could not have been more wrong. Tom Petty's catalogue spans 40 years, 13 albums, 68 singles, and his most recent record, The Hypnotic Eye,...

Ah, cockroaches. They just don’t get much love in the Horror genre. One would think that these lowly creatures, clicking and flitting, scurrying and shuttling from dark to light would be prime fodder for terror terrain. However, up until 1988’s The Nest, there are only a handful of critter flicks starring these grotesque end- of- the- worlders. Concorde Pictures (Roger Corman’s latest company at the time) unleashed this gloriously gruesome roach-a-rama on an unsuspecting public and watched them squirm with delight.
Actually, The Nest only received a limited release by Concorde, but made its coin when it was released on video by MGM later that same year. Reviews were generally positive, with critics seeing it as a good natured update of 1950’s monster movies, of course with new, improved and gnarly special effects. The Nest is, shall we say, a great deal moister than its bug strewn brethren of yore.

A spirited damsel in distress and a familiar face in postwar Hollywood films
Although the actor Patricia Medina, who has died aged 92, had a cut-glass English accent, her voluptuous Latin looks often prevented her from playing English characters. As her name suggests, she was half-Spanish, born in Liverpool, the daughter of a Spanish father – a lawyer and former opera singer – and an English mother.
Medina, who appeared in more than 50 feature films, many of them costume dramas, was seldom called upon to display much acting ability, though she was an unusually spirited damsel in distress. However, she used the one chance she had to work with a director of magnitude, Orson Welles, in Mr Arkadin (also known as Confidential Report, 1955), to show what she was capable of. As Mily, in this breathless, globetrotting film, she is an earthy nightclub dancer who attempts to seduce the amnesiac billionaire Welles. It was...

Patricia Medina, a British-born actress who entertained audiences in everything from "Francis" (the talking mule) to the Orson Welles crime thriller "Mr. Arkadin," is dead at 92.
The widow of frequent Welles co-star Joseph Cotten, Medina died Saturday in Los Angeles, close friend Meredith Silverbach tells the L.A. Times.
"She was a stunning woman," says Silverbach. "In her youth, they called her 'the most beautiful face in England.'"
Medina got her start in Hollywood with MGM, playing leads in movies like "Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion," "Plunder of the Sun" with Glenn Ford and "Phantom of the Rue Morgue" with Karl Malden. In 1960, she married Cotten -- then a widower -- and the two went on to star in several stage productions together.
"At myriad parties and industry events they were inseparable, among the most popular couples in town," wrote Upi reporter Vernon Scott in 2000. "They represented...

Bullying is a very touchy and important topic in society today. It takes a lot of balls and good writing to make related moments humorous, Happy Endings was able to do just that in "You Snooze, You Bruise."
Can you picture Alex as a teeny blonde bully? Those Kerkovich girls have some bossy genes! Then again, it was the smallest girl who bullied me in first grade, so size means nada.
I kind of thought Alex was going to go with Dave to the fight with Corey, but, alas, she wasn't needed. You can only push people so far before they break and it looks like Derek was done being taunted.
How did Max Ever think Corey was hot? I mean, not to be superficial... but just no. He also had the lamest, most playground, immature sense of humor I've ever heard. He actually called Dave "dumb dumb." When's the...
