"Blemish, you don't even like music!" "Who ever said that?" Time for something a bit funky and tons of fun. The Quarry is an 11-minute animated short film comedy made by the illustrator / animation filmmaker Graham Mason based in NYC. it was originally created for Adult Swim Smalls, their short films spin-off featuring all kinds of wacky, weird creations. The Quarry is described as a "soap opera about rocks" though it's much more of a sitcom about rocks working at a quarry. One of them tries to ask out his co-worker on a date, and things don't go as planned. Featuring the voices of Brad Howe, Matthew Maher, Grace Rex, and Peter Smith. It likely won't be turned into a primetime sitcom anytime soon, but it's a fun escape into the wacky world of rocks trying to, uh, have a solid life. I laughed the most at the rock keyboard at the start.

Grace Rex has been a series regular on the British sitcom High and Dry, a recurring guest star on The Good Wife, and had roles in Master of None, Mindhunter and Boardwalk Empire, among many other TV shows and films. For me, her finespun and hilarious work in Ingrid Jungermann’s Women Who Kill solidified her place among the uniquely talented comedic actors to watch. We talk about one special moment in that film, the “bizarre” endeavor of auditioning, and Not getting into a co-dependent relationship with acting.

"Hottest female serial killer ever? That's a tough call." FilmRise has debuted an official trailer for an indie comedy titled Women Who Kill, which first premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last year. The film is inspired by podcasts like "Serial" and tells the story of two women who run a podcast about serial killers called "Women Who Kill". Writer/director Ingrid Jungermann stars as Morgan, and Ann Carr plays her co-host Jean. They used to be in a relationship but not anymore. When Morgan meets a new girl at the local Food Coop, she falls for her but it turns out she may actually be a serial killer. The cast includes Sheila Vand, Annette O'Toole, Deborah Rush, Tami Sagher, Grace Rex, and Shannon Patricia O'Neill. This looks quirky and entertaining in a very Brooklyn way, with some deep Brooklyn humor, but that's cool. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster...

One of our festival favorites of the past year-plus is finally getting a release. “Morbid curiosities make for unusual romantic comedy fodder in Ingrid Jungermann’s perceptive and often very funny Women Who Kill,” we said in our review from last year’s Tribeca Film Festival. Now set for a debut later this month, the first trailer has arrived for the film which follows ex-girlfriends who host a serial killer-obsessive podcast and when a mysterious woman joins the mix, mystery begins.
“The overarching joke of the film is that it’s in the suspense or horror genre — because it’s actually just a queer romantic comedy,” the director tells EW. “I grew up in Florida as a Jehovah’s Witness, so my introduction into romantic relationships included anxiety and guilt and dread and fear. The foundation of the movie is comedy with layers of suspense and horror. And we took the suspense very seriously,...

What a strange episode of The Good Wife. I got brain whiplash from trying to connect the random stories. Yet, somehow, it worked — and turned out to be one of the better eps of the season.

Kalinda is made of awesome — and we see her in action this week, even though she doesn't get a lot of screen time. Dana is still trying to play Kalinda to get information. But Kalinda is getting a little tired of Dana's game.
Give me a player with follow-through any time.
We also get a glimpse of how much Kalinda genuinely cares for Alicia, when she overhears that Grace is missing. Kalinda jumps into action, getting a trace on Grace's phone and tracking her down.
On a hunch, she finds Grace at church being baptized. She tells Grace not to let Alicia know who found her, but I'm hoping this is the first step toward reconciliation.

Tonight on The Good Wife: Michael J Fox Returns as Alicia Faces a Personal Crisis (Sneak Peek)
Tonight's episode of The Good Wife not only sees the return of Michael J Fox's antagonist Louis Canning, but also features Dexter star Jennifer Carpenter and a family crisis for Alicia (Julianna Margulies). Throw in the warning that Diane (Christine Baranski) gave Will (Josh Charles) in the last episode and the State Attorney's investigation into Will continuing and it looks like this will be an emotionally charged night.
Oh Grace (Mackenzie Vega), she almost redeemed herself last week with how she responded to Jackie's (Mary Beth Peil) actions towards Alicia, but tonight she will be the center of attention for the wrong reasons. Grace is a character who falls into the annoying teen camp, which the writers seem to be unsure of how to use her as opposed to Zach (Graham Phillips...

Last week was Lisa Edelstein's final scheduled appearances on The Good Wife; though I would double down on the chance of her returning in the future. This week sees another character introduced who happens to have a romantic link to Eli (Alan Cumming), his ex-wife is in town requiring his service as she is considering a political campaign. Alicia (Julianna Margulies) will be working her first case as a mentor to Caitlin (Anna Camp).
There are two major issues for Alicia with the hiring of Caitlin; firstly she believed that she was getting given a job with certain responsibilities, instead it was one big manipulation to appear like nepotism wasn't a factor in this hiring process. She was berated by her superior in front of a lawyer from another firm (who also happens to be the ex-girlfriend of her current lover) and embarrassed in front of the candidate she...

Question: Is there any truth to the rumor that the title of Glee‘s Episode 7, “I Kissed A Girl,” has something to do with Rachel and Quinn? We’re dying to know. —Bobbie
Ausiello: If you’re asking me whether Rachel and Quinn go to first base, the answer is no. The episode focuses on Santana coming out to her family, so I’m guessing the title — and accompanying Katy Perry cover — refer to that.

Chicago – After a 12-year hiatus from comedy (his last was “Edtv” in 1999), the legendary (and typically dramatic) director Ron Howard is back to crack you up with “The Dilemma”.
Kevin James and Vince Vaughn in “The Dilemma”.

The Chicago-filmed dramedy is part comedy (with the well-cast chemistry of Vince Vaughn and Kevin James) and part drama (with Winona Ryder and Jennifer Connelly). Queen “Lady Wood” Latifah supports with Channing “Tatoo” Tatum and Chicago stage actor Amy Morton. “The Dilemma” opens everywhere on Jan. 14, 2011.
Much like “The Dark Knight” features Chicago as one of its primary stars, “The Dilemma” clearly looks like Chicago both with its sweeping metropolitan shots and its intimate scenes only locals would recognize. The film also stars Chelcie Ross, Grace Rex, January Stern, Debbi Burns, Rebecca Spence, Heidi Johanningmeier and Talulah Riley from director Ron Howard, writer Allan Loeb and producer Brian Grazer.
