Imprint

It’s so great when you go into a film thinking the worst and come out liking it. Imprint for me, was one of those films. I expected another shitty ghost story but what I got what was an old fashioned ghost story that involved some Native American Twist. Shayla Stonefeather is a Native American prosecutor who gets pulled into a case involving her people.

She helps put away Bobby Whiteshirt who is Native American as well. Since she did this her people have come to feel as though she back stabbed them when she should of been defending them. After the trial she travels home for her just about comatose father’s birthday. When Shayla’s boyfriend Jonathan shows up her mom Rebecca instantly dislikes him and doesn’t hold back in telling her daughter so.

Weird things start happening like noises and sounds like someone is creeping thru their house. At first Shayla thinks it must be a relative of Bobby whiteshirt trying to scare her because she put him away. An old Native American Indian comes to their house and smudges it hoping to release anything negative. He tells Shayla that she just needs to listen to the spirits and it will all come together.

Her brother Nathaniel went missing awhile back and she starts to get clues leading her to assume the worst about him and the worst about her father. Could her father really hurt his own son? Will the clues finally add up and lead Shayla to the truth that is just dying to be heard? Bobby Whiteshirt just died in jail, could it be his ghost tormenting her? Or is it something else she never would of dreamed of in a million years?

Alexander S. Brown sent me a copy of his book Traumatized and it kept me on my couch the whole weekend with my nose buried in his 15 fabulous tales. This is a smorgasboard of stories to tempt your sensory taste buds with. I say this because there is a story about every topic there is- from witches, demons, and hell, to a nasty bout with sushi! But here is the thing, even though they are topics we’ve already heard about thousands of times before, they are all still original storylines that haven’t already been imprinted in your noggin from years of previous experience. It’s always hard enough to find an author you like, but I can assure you Brown’s work will impress you.    

CottonMouth- horror short from Christopher Gaetano

Directed by: Christopher Gaetano
Fortuneteller Films

A man who invented a certain luxury for women is being sought after and slowly tortured by angry deceased patients who feel they shouldn’t of had to die from that unnecessary infection. Didn’t he know what could happen from the use of this blood soaker? Death shouldn’t have been an option for these poor women. Grief has caused these relentless broken souls to harvest such anger that it boils them down to a crazed entity. Was this situation a fluke accident or did the man know there could be these horrible side effects from long use? This story was adapted from the comic book tale from artist Stephen R. Bissette which left a permanent imprint on director C. Gaetano’s young nubile brain.

Whedon’s ‘Dollhouse’ gets Galactica co-star

Being a hardcore Joss Whedon fan, the news of his new Fox series Dollhouse makes me giddy with anticipation. Buffy the Vampire Slayer was, in my opinion, the BEST show EVER on televison. But don’t take my word for it. Recently, Buffy was ranked #2 in EMPIRE magazine’s 50 Best TV Shows of ALL TIME. The Simpsons took the #1 spot. Buffy was ranked #1 in UGO’s Top 10. The series also made it in TIME Magazine’s 2007 All Time 100 as well as TV Guide’s 2002 Top 50 list.

Firefly is another amazing and perfect Whedon show that I hold dear. Its unfortunate time slot was most likely its downfall but it still is one kick-ass season and the movie, Serenity, is awesome.

Now we have Dollhouse starring Buffy’s Faith, Eliza Dushku. Here is Fox’s description of Dollhouse.

“Echo (Eliza Dushku) [is] a young woman who is literally everybody’s fantasy. She is one of a group of men and women who can be imprinted with personality packages, including memories, skills, language—even muscle memory—for different assignments. The assignments can be romantic, adventurous, outlandish, uplifting, sexual and/or very illegal. When not imprinted with a personality package, Echo and the others are basically mind-wiped, living like children in a futuristic dorm/lab dubbed the Dollhouse, with no memory of their assignments—or of much else. The show revolves around the childlike Echo’s burgeoning self-awareness, and her desire to know who she was before, a desire that begins to seep into her various imprinted personalities and puts her in danger both in the field and in the closely monitored confines of the Dollhouse.”

It sounds a bit confusing but I’m not going to argue with the man who gave me so much to love on Television. The latest Dollhouse news is that Battlestar Galactica co-star Tahmoh Penikett, Fran Kranz (“Welcome to the Captain”), Australian Dichen Lachman and Enver Gjokaj have all been cast in the show.

This Is Some Scene will keep you up-to-date on Dollhouse, so stay tuned. For now, you can read the Hollywood Reporter article below.

“Battlestar Galactica” co-star Tahmoh Penikett, Fran Kranz (“Welcome to the Captain”), Australian Dichen Lachman and Enver Gjokaj have moved into Joss Whedon’s “Dollhouse.”

The four join Eliza Dushku on the 20th Century Fox TV-produced drama, which received a seven-episode order shortly before the strike.

“Dollhouse” revolves around a group of young men and women, aka “Dolls,” who are imprinted with different personalities for different assignments. They have no memories of their previous lives, until Echo (Dushku) begins to try to find out who she was.

Penikett will play Paul Smith, an FBI field agent obsessed with the urban myth of Dollhouse and a twisted romantic foil for Echo.

Kranz will play Topher Brink, a twentysomething genius programmer responsible for imprinting the dolls.

Lachman will play Sierra, a doll like Echo and her friend, who has every personality in the world but her own.

Gjokaj will play Victor, also a doll and a friend of Echo’s, who is childlike when he’s inactive, and everything from Errol Flynn to young DeNiro when he’s active.
