An albino, a deaf mute, a jock, a fat kid, a sexually-abused girl and a token “Angry Asian” chick all get on a bus… Sounds like the start of some strange non-pc joke right? Well it’s not. It’s actually how writer/director Kimberly Seilhamer chooses to open her directorial debut Jack the Reaper - a great pun which is lost in the films re-titling to merely The Reaper.

What one has to do with the other I’m not sure – well the railroad was important in getting the products of industry across the Us right.

In her six-year career, the former fifth-grade science teacher has fallen down more staircases than you’ve climbed, and worked on movies as varied as Bruce Almighty, The Jane Austen Book Club, and Tim Burton’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland. Driving to her local multiplex to see herself get blown off rooftops in Transformers, Carino chatted with Vf Daily about standing in for a sex symbol, breaking her neck without realizing it, and the perils of nude stunt work. (She won’t do it.) You’ve braved all sorts of danger for Megan Fox, both in the Transformers movies and the currently filming comic-book movie Jonah Hex. What does it...
