Actors Mekki Leeper & Kahyun Kim talk to The Inside Reel about chemistry, timing, environment and a bit of life metaphor in regards to the final two episodes of the 2nd season of “St. Denis Medical” on NBC.

Director Adrian Grunberg & Producer/Star Milla Jovovich talk to The Inside Reel about approach, tone, balance and subject matter in regards to their new action thriller: “Protector” from Magenta Light Studios.

With "The Bride", writer/director Maggie Gyllenhaal takes a surefire swing that is uneven and not for everyone but it is strong in its viewpoint and its artistic vision. Setting the tale and giving its own tendencies starting off in 1930s Chicago there is definitely a blend of "Bonnie & Clyde" and "True Romance". Christian Bale is good as always playing more brooding and quiet as Frank (until he bursts) but opposite him Jessie Buckley as Ida/The Bride really shines like the sun.

The concept of "Crazy Old Lady" takes the very real aspect of dementia and takes it to a horror structure degree. It never takes itself beyond its means and is anchored by a vivid performance of actress Carmen Maura as Alicia, the mother/grandmother in question. There is a slightly abstract nature to the proceedings which take place mostly inside a dreary and yet almost gothic house that Alicia lives in.

The aspect of revisiting the Scream franchise reflects in how it is told. The most recent incarnation in many ways worked very well though the essence of what happened afterward behind the scenes changed the direction likely. Neve Campbell also wasn't involved in the last one for other reasons. All these circumstances conglomerated together to bring Scream 7 to the screen and pays both tribute and continuance (as all these films do). The film walks the line between what it originally was and what it needs to be.
