This incredible company, that began life as a tee-shirt shop attached to the Alamo Drafthouse, collaborates with outstanding artists to create some of the most unique and sought-after movie posters available. One of their most celebrated collaborators is Olly Moss, and today Mondo revealed his new poster for …

Tonight I had the chance to see one of my favorite horror movies Phantasm II, what made it even better is I got the chance to see it at the Alamo Ritz in their Terror Tuesday event. The sequel is takes a big break from the last movie which was movie which rely on mood and atmosphere. The first Phantasm…

UPDATE: Due to the fact that I attended the Spill Comic-Con party, I will not be going to the Austin party. That being said, the Comic-Con party was a fucking blast! Korey, Cyrus and Leon are three of the coolest and nicest guys I have ever met and it was a real pleasure getting to know them and everybody else who came. Thanks for the good time, guys. Btw, hands off my mom, Korey! LOL

 

I'm looking forward to the party as much as the next person, but my inner…

Great news coming from Tim League. Back in a sec to sum this all up!





November begins the flood of Fantastic Fest official selection titles to hit the Alamo Drafthouse screens. I'm a big fan of all four of these films, and honestly, let's face it, all four are going to need help to make it. Lately there has been a vast drop off in niche films even getting to market, let alone finding an audience.



If you enjoyed any of these films, please tell your friends and… Continue

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around much. Plumbing problems and move in woes O' plenty have plagued the house of Carlyle. BUT, there is something exciting happening tonight. Last night was the Austin premiere of a little indie film I appear in, titled WHEN IS TOMORROW.

It's a cool little film shot in Austin and starring director Kevin Ford, Eddie "Crabman" Steeples (My Name is Earl) and Angela "May" Bettis (May, Girl Interrupted). I'm in it for about a… Continue
