The Locarno Film Festival is one of the oldest, most respected in the world. It’s also one of the most difficult to get to: Other than its remote location — a lakeside town in Switzerland — the 71-year-old event is marked by bold, eclectic programming that doesn’t make its way elsewhere as reliably as selections from the likes of Cannes and Sundance.
That’s set to change with Locarno in Los Angeles, a new initiative launched by L.A.-based film critics Jordan Cronk and Robert Koehler. Cronk also curates Acropolis Cinema, a screening series focused on local premieres of outré titles that might not otherwise screen in the City of Angels, while Koehler has served as director of programming for the Film Society of Lincoln Center, AFI Fest and the Qingdao International Film Festival.

USA Network is hoping to put together a "doctor in unusual circumstances" one-two punch with its new show Necessary Roughness following the new season premiere of Royal Pains. After HankMed has its way with you, Necessary Roughness will offer up a therapist who finds herself diving into less than the normal routine, and since the world of physical health doctor out of water did so well, hopefully the mental health world will perform as well.
Necessary Roughness has a few more chinks in its armor than most of the new shows that USA puts out, and what stands out most is that it is difficult to tell where it's going, and it's even more difficult to tell who exactly the show is for. The pilot sets us up with Dr. Dani Santino (Callie Thorne) as a therapist who is a fan of hypnotherapy, and the first thing that happens in...

In a move that will add even more firepower to their already impressive schedule, USA Network has ordered two new pilots to series: Necessary Roughness starring Callie Thorne (Rescue Me) and A Legal Mind starring Gabriel Macht (Behind Enemy Lines). No word on when they'll debut, though, but if I had to bet, I'd say late summer or early fall. Both shows sound like they fit USA's brand, so I fully expect them to debut huge and maintain enough of their audience to further expand the channel's scripted programming offerings.
