Nassise brings a certain boldness to the fantasy and thriller genres that allows new readers and returning fans to immerse themselves in a tense, thrilling adventure filled with supernatural horror.
New Orleans was nearly the death of Jeremiah Hunt, between a too-close brush with the FBI and a chilling, soul-searing journey through the realm of the dead that culminated with a do-or-die confrontation with Death himself.
Hunt survived, but found no peace. When he performs an arcane ritual to reclaim the soul of the magically gifted, beautiful women who once saved him,...

Adam Simon is hard to keep up with. He has the dizzying intellect and spellbinding rhetoric of a well caffeinated university professor.
The depth of Simon’s knowledge of the craft of horror filmmaking is far more indicative of his level of expertise than his filmography might lead you to believe.
Simon is best known for writing the 2009 film The Haunting in Connecticut, which was an unexpected success for a haunted house thriller. He is also known for his 1990’s B-movie classics Carnosaur and Brain Dead. With over 30 years of experience under his belt, Simon originally began in production and moved on to establish himself as a writer. He now makes his living writing horror for network television, a transition that has thus been very good to him.
One of last ‘graduates’ of the Roger Corman School of Film, Adam Simon has spent decades absorbing the ins and outs of creating a good film.

The 17th Spanish and Latin American film festival was anything but celebratory in spirit, focusing instead on brutal realities
On a humid day in the María Feliz cinema bar in the Colombian city of Cartagena, I found myself transported deep into the violent Bogotá underworld by the film La Sangre y La Lluvia (Blood and Rain). A fortnight ago, I once again found myself immersed in Colombian film, this time in the less sunny climes of the Cornerhouse, Manchester, where the life and landscape of Latin America was conjured up by the ¡Viva! Spanish and Latin American film festival. By turns heartrending and hilarious, films from Colombia, Chile and Peru seared strong and provocative images into my memory.
Memory is in fact at the heart of many Viva films: how do individuals and societies convey often-traumatic memories of war-torn reality? It's an issue with which Latin America has, of course,...

Tick… tick… tick… Ding. That was the sound of season 5 running out. Showtime’s serial-killer drama Dexter wrapped up its fifth year on Sunday night with a knife in the chest—literally and figuratively—while weaving in a twist or two. [Spoiler Alert: Do not proceed if you haven’t watched the season finale.] While “The Big One” didn’t pack the shock of last year’s Trinity-Rita send-off, there’s ample action to analyze—and character motivations to assess. Herewith, Dexter executive producer Sara Colleton sheds light on Lumen’s departure, Deb’s big decision, Dexter’s new outlook, and much more….

Michael Mahoney called "Take It!" the best episode of the season in his review, which you can read here.
And now, let's put on our Jordan Chase onesies and recap what happened.
Dexter attends one of Jordan Chase's seminars to check it out and also work on figuring out a way to murder Cole Harman. The seminar is more of a rally, complete with big screens, flashing lights and hundreds of excited Chase followers. 'I've never been around so many people that made me feel normal...really normal,' Dexter thinks.
Laguerta arrives at work that day to a mob of press asking about the undercover operation that ended up with the loss of innocent life. "There are going to be consequences," she says to the team. Deb talks to Quinn about that night, and how she shot and killed Carlos Fuentes, but says she doesn't feel bad and that's the problem.

"Dexter," you're going to give us a coronary.
The action is ratcheting up as the season progresses, and we're really afraid someone we like is going to get seriously hurt (or lost forever like at the end of last season).
Spoilers! Watch "Take It!" before reading further. Your primal self will thank you.
We knew Lumen (Julia Stiles) wouldn't be completely safe, showing her face around, and sure enough Cole (Chris Vance) recognized her and almost choked the life out of her in the hotel where the Jordan Chase (Jonny Lee Miller)seminar was taking place.
Even if we buy her intense need for vengeance, what happened to self preservation? It doesn't take much to disguise yourself. Celebrities know to at least put on sunglasses and a baseball cap. Also, considering she doesn't know who two of her rapists are, she should really be hiding out.
Speaking of, this is...

Season 5 of Dexter continues next week with 'Take It' as Dexter (Michael C. Hall) and Lumen (Julia Stiles) do their best impersonation of 24's Jack Bauer and Chloe O'Brian. Yup, Dexter's out in the field and Lumen is back at CTU Dexter's old house, working the computer to get background info on her captors. Can they save the day and get revenge all before clock ticks to the next hour? Check out these two clips from the upcoming episode as the two hunt down Jordan Chase and Cole Harmon (Chris Vance).

[poll=25] In the second clip, Deb is struggling with her feelings (or lack thereof) for killing Carlos Fuentes. And what to make of the fallout from Laguerta's backfiring orders? The Club Mayan shootout is her fault and,...
