Jeffrey Dean Morgan to star in a new thriller, ‘The Resident’

January 30, 2009

Jeffrey Dean Morgan has been cast to star opposite Hilary Swank in the suspense/thriller The Resident.

From Hammer Films' Press Release: “The Resident” is inspired by the fact that every year, millions of single women in America move into apartments for the fist time. They do not know who lived in the apartment before them, they do not know their landlords, and they don’t bother to change the locks. This is the story of one such woman, a pretty, young doctor Juliet Dermer (Swank), who is settling into a new life and a new loft in Brooklyn when mysterious occurrences lead her to suspect that she is not alone in her home. Her fears quickly become all too real, and in a chilling revelation she discovers that her seemingly charming, young landlord, Max (Morgan), has developed a dangerous obsession with her. A terrifying game of cat and mouse ensues as Juliet fights to free herself from Max’s sinister intentions.

Antti J. Jokinen and Robert Orr wrote the initial script, rewritten by Erin Cressida Wilson. The film is the feature debut for Jokinen. Hammer Films is producing on behalf of parent company Exclusive Media Group.

After School Special Review

January 29, 2009

By John Keegan

Visit The Shrine of Entil'zha for an archive of John's TV Review archives!

Another week, another solid episode of "Supernatural". This one is particularly notable for giving us a glimpse into the complicated and depressing childhood years for the Brothers Winchester. It's consistent with what we've seen before, without a doubt, and the casting was excellent. The plot more or less built on some of Sam's psychological issues from the previous episode, but generally speaking, this felt a bit more self-contained.

We already know that Dean projects a veneer of detached "coolness" to shield himself from the pain and isolation that the Hunting lifestyle demands. He's certainly not the only one; the Hunting culture seems to bask in that kind of denial. (In fact, one could theorize that the seeming obsession of Hunters with classic rock and blue collar style is less personal preference and more subcultural tradition.) All this episode tells us is that his defenses were built very early in life, something that's hardly a new idea.

Sammy's intelligence shines through, as one would expect, but so does the desire to lead a normal life. That is the key that this episode wants to turn: the resonance between how Sam felt then and how he feels now.
